A man who can not confidently walk the streets of abia state, without being lynched is talking. While Peter Obi restored the pride of anambra. You as governor of abia state, turned Abia state to a laughing stock in Nigeria. What were your achievements as governor? "Onyeoshi " 1 Like |

FarahAideed:Call him whatever you like. He is saying the truth. He is repenting. Let PDP in general do the same. Looting spree of PDP for 16 years is too fresh in our memory to vote them in 2019. |

FACT CHECK: Verifying Osinbajo, Obi at TV debate (Second Update) To keep politicians accountable at the vice-presidential and presidential debate, news medium, TheCable was live-checking the supposed facts and figures being bandied by those seeking the highest offices in the land. The participating parties are; Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Young Progressives Party (YPP). Peter Obi of the PDP, and APC’s Yemi Osinbajo are debating alongside Ganiyu Galadima of ACPN, Khadijah Abdullahi-Iya of ANN and Umma Abdullahi-Getso of YPP. OBI: There are about two million vehicles in Nigeria. CHECKED: False. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria has a total vehicle population of about 11,547,236 as at the third quarter of 2017. OSINBAJO: Lagos-Ibadan expressway was “practically” abandoned for 16 years under PDP. CHECKED: False. The Goodluck Jonathan administration made many interventions on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, awarding a multi-billion naira contract to Julius Berger and RCC. The administration fixed the Ibadan to Ogere section of the road. OSINBAJO: A bag of fertiliser now sells for N6,000 to N7,000. CHECKED: Largely correct. Price of fertiliser has experienced a drastic drop following the Nigeria-Morocco fertiliser deal. Current prices are between N5,500 and N6,500. As at 2016, a bag of fertiliser sold above N10,000. OBI: Nigeria has fallen on the global competitive index from 124 to 127. CHECKED: False. According to the latest (2018) World Economic Forum report, Nigeria rose on the index by 10 places. Obi’s claim was true in 2016. OBI: Total loans from the banks in Nigeria is N19trn and only 0.5% goes to SMEs CHECKED: Yet to be verified. OSINBAJO: There is a tax threshold for SMEs, SMEs get to a level before they pay taxes. CHECKED: True. There is a lower tax rate of 20% applicable to small companies in manufacturing, agriculture and mining within their first five years of business. The problem with the law is that the turnover threshold to qualify is only N1 million which is not in tune with current realities. OBI: Nigeria’s foreign direct investment for 2015 was $21bn, while it fell to $12bn in 2017. CHECKED: False. According to NBS capital importation reports, Nigeria’s total imported capital stood at $9.6 billion in 2015, and $12.3 billion in 2017. Perhaps Obi meant 2014, when Nigeria’s total capital imported stood at $20.7 billion. OBI: African trade today is less than 9 percent. CHECKED: False. According to Afriexim Bank, Intra-Africa trade is around 15 percent. In 2016, intra-African exports made up 18 percent of total exports according to Brookings Institution. OSINBAJO: Nigeria went down by 64 places under PDP, but has risen by 24 places under APC CHECKED: Partly False. Nigeria went down from 120 to 170 between 2008 and 2015, under PDP rule. Under the APC, ease of doing business has risen from 170 in 2015 to 146 in 2018, according to the World Bank Ease of Doing Business report. OBI: Oil gives you 80% of foreign exchange earnings. CHECKED: Point valid, figures near accurate. As at 2017 NBS figures showed that Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings from oil the oil sector stood above 90%. OBI: To bring out goods from Apapa cost more than it takes to bring goods from Europe CHECKED: Unverified GALADIMA: We have four refineries in Nigeria, and none is working. CHECKED: The refineries according to NNPC reports are working at sub-optimal levels. Not totally dysfunctional. UMMA GESTO: Nigerian Airways was one of the largest in the world. CHECKED: Unverified. OBI: The federal government spends only N5 on the health of each Nigerian citizen per day. CHECKED: True. Based on budgetary and population calculations done, the federal government allocates N4.7 to every Nigerian’s health per day. OBI: Apple Inc’s market cap is bigger than the economies of Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt. CHECKED: Apple’s market cap today is $788.57 billion. The economies of these three countries are bigger than Apple. When Apple was $1 trillion a few months ago, it was bigger in dollar terms. OSINBAJO: Nigeria producing 90% of the rice we consume. CHECKED: Dicey. According to the Central Bank of Nigeria, the country’s rice import has dropped drastically with a surge in local production. The CBN estimates that Nigeria has legally imported less than 25,000 tonnes of rice in 2018 — validating Osinbajo’s claims. Africa Rice Centre says Nigeria produces 75% of its rice consumption, adding that rice smuggling is a big problem in Nigeria. Nobody tracks the amount of rice smuggled into the country. According to the Thailand Rice Exporters Association, the rice exported to Nigeria between January and October 2018 was 6,121 tonnes, representing a drastic drop when compared to 2016 when all-year import stood at 58,260 metric tonnes. But the rice exported to Benin Republic, where most of Nigeria’s smuggled rice comes from, has increased from 805,765 metric tonnes in 2015 to 1,214,568 metric tonnes as at October 2018. However, the United States Department of Agriculture says Nigeria’s imports rose in 2018 and Nigeria is projected to produce 4.79 million metric tonnes in 2019 and import as much as 2.4 million metric tonnes in 2019. OBI: To bring out goods from Apapa cost more than it takes to bring goods from Europe CHECKED: Unverified GALADIMA: We have four refineries in Nigeria, and none is working. CHECKED: The refineries according to NNPC reports are working at sub-optimal levels. Not totally dysfunctional. UMMA GESTO: Nigerian Airways was one of the largest in the world. CHECKED: Unverified. OBI: The federal government spends only N5 on the health of each Nigerian citizen per day. CHECKED: True.

The last time I checked, PDP has apologized to Nigerians and moved on to strategize for the coming elections. We don't need another broken record of a party that will keep dweliing on the past 16 years till thy kingdom come. Oga Orji, we need to move forward, please , as I have never seen any one win a race while looking back wards. |
