Yes i know, but the subsidy is also costing us billions in lost revenue, jobs and investment.

Even Dangote refinery. If petrol from that refinery is put under subsidy it will collapse due to lack of profit.

And the snuggling of cheap petrol is costing us dear.

This year we are throwing away 4 trillion on the thing. Money that could have been used for housing, health and education among other things.

And ultimately it is the rich importer fat cats that benefit

When Jagaban talks, he always point to Lagos as his legacy in terms of achievements and human development but when Obi Pandora talks he will never tell us his legacy and achievement in Anambra but instead keep mentioning China China China as if he is contesting to become the president of China

God1000:
A president that will listen to the yearning and aspirations of the people.

An upstanding technocrat that will respect the constitution, heal and unite our broken and dysfunctional country

You are just speaking the normal grammar

Me, I want someone who can put in place the basic infrastructure: Roads, electricity, pipe borne water, fix our dead refineries.

Also we have been a consuming nation for long, let's encourage and develop local production, this will boost the naira strength in the global market and provides jobs for the youths.

MadamVanessa:




Keep sentiment, tribe, religion, region or anything that bring bias to someone's mind aside, then kindly access Peter The Rock Obi very well, then you'll know the type of president I Vanessa is desperate in need of.
Please can you pin point one thing this Peter obi has done in the past eight years as the governor of Anambra State. I’m just too lazy to do a research on this dude right now.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS Peter Obi as GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State’s ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners – Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr.Fabrice Campoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

Just about the same, or worse than most African countries.

You won't want to live in a Kim like government.

1.Travel is highly restricted. You cannot 'japa', it's an offence against the state, punishable by a term in prision.

2.You cannot set up a business, you must work where the State puts you to work.

3.Travel within the country is restricted. You must get permission from the appropriate office to travel from point A to point B in the country...eg from Pyongyang to Wonsan for example. And on arrival, the local law enforcement would barge into your host's house and check that your internal passport has the right stamp. If it does not...

4.You cannot express any contranry opinion or blast or criticise the Kims or the government. That's jail time bunny.

5.You cannot follow religion. Plus, many religious people in the begining of the regime were locked up in prisions...for the rest of their lives.

6.There are prision camps where people have been locked up for life....for being anti-kim dissenters. Some have been executed. (In the begining of the DPRK, there were 4 factions in the government....by 1970, all but one, the Kim Il sung faction were gone. Most of the leaders and followers were purged...executions, or being jailed in prision for life.

7. North Korea underwent a famine for 3-4 years in 1990 that killed millions. And no it was not because of sanctions...it was because the dictatorial nature of the regime meant that farmers could not be innovative in the way they farmed...everything had to be done by the state.



For a neutral perspective on NK...read the works of the Russian writer Andrei Lankov.(title page below) (since most of you guys would say that Western authors are biased). I would add that Nigeria is awful....but some of the things in NK make Nigeria look nice.
