We all know where US president lives, which is white house but many people are oblivious of VP official residence.

Number One Observatory Circle is the official residence of the vice president of the United States. Located on the northeast grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington

The Vice President’s Residence

With their offices located on the White House grounds, Vice Presidents since Walter Mondale have lived with their families on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory.

The white nineteenth-century house at Number One Observatory Circle in northwestern Washington, D.C. was built in 1893. Originally intended for the superintendent of the USNO, the house was so lovely that in 1923, the chief of naval operations kicked out the superintendent so he could move in himself. Historically, Vice Presidents and their families lived in their own homes, but the cost of securing these private residences grew substantially over the years. Finally, in 1974, Congress agreed to refurbish the house at the Naval Observatory as a home for the Vice President.

Three years passed before any Vice President actually lived at Number One Observatory Circle. Vice President Gerald Ford acceded to the Presidency before he could use the home, and his Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, only used it for entertaining. Walter Mondale was the first Vice President to move into the home. It has since been home to the families of Vice Presidents Bush, Quayle, Gore, Cheney, Biden, and Pence.

Vice Presidents have welcomed countless guests to the residence, including foreign leaders and dignitaries. Still, the Naval Observatory has continued to operate. Scientists observe the sun, moon, planets, and selected stars, determine and precisely measure the time, and publish astronomical data needed for accurate navigation.

Located about two miles from the White House and adjacent to several embassies, the secluded home sits on a 72-acre plot known as the United States Naval Observatory. It is not open to the public.

No need to invoke US to prove they are both EXTREMELY CORRUPT. There is more than enough proof right here. See below.
MPO, on the other hand, is VERY HONEST - never mind all the smokescreen by agenda people. Much of it is by people who vehemently hate him till date because he woudn't let them loot Anambra's money. It is hard to believe the man is a Nigerian. He's simply uninterested in money or status. Nigeria will be very lucky indeed if he wins.

If Peter Obi is not a crook like the rest, why was he hiding money in Pandora papers while whining us that he has one watch, one pair of shoes, no house, no car bla bla bla poverty pretense?
To scam who

KingOfAmebo:
Breaking the Law: Number 1

In Nigeria, a person is statutorily obligated to withdraw from engaging in or directing a private business, except if it is farming, upon becoming a public officer, Section Six (6) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act stipulates.

However, our investigation, based on records obtained from the UK Companies House shows that Mr Obi continued to be a director of Next International (UK) Limited for 14 months after becoming the governor of Anambra State, thereby breaking Nigeria’s law. The politician resigned from the company on May 16, 2008, 14 months after he assumed duties as Anambra governor. He took office on March 17, 2006.

Mr Obi did not dispute the records PREMIUM TIMES cited but he claimed he “resigned immediately” by handing his wife his resignation letter. He suggested that his company might have failed to effect the changes on time or the UK Companies House did not immediately document his exit. But the UK companies registry said Mr Obi indeed resigned on May 16, 2008, and that it received his notice of resignation for electronic filing on June 16, 2008.

Breaking the law: Number 2

Nigerian public officers are required to declare “immediately after taking office and thereafter all” their properties, assets, and liabilities and those of his (or her) unmarried children under the age of eighteen years,” Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution stipulates (Section 11, Part of the Fifth Schedule).

PREMIUM TIMES investigation also found that Mr Obi breached this constitutional provision on assets declaration. We can authoritatively report that Mr Obi did not declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau the companies he tucked away in offshore secrecy havens.

Mr Obi caused to be created for him a structure of secrecy that had previously, until the Pandora Papers investigation, meant he could continue to hold foreign assets in a way that breaches Nigeria’s law without the knowledge of authorities in the country. In an extra layer of secrecy, Mr Obi used paid nominees as directors, while he remains the ultimate beneficial owner, making it nearly impossible to discover his interests in those companies but we obtained rare incorporation documents proving his link.

Otherwise, Mr Obi could have forever hoped to continue to hold the assets, that he did not declare when he had a statutory obligation to do so as a governor, without any authority or the public calling him to account.

In his response, Mr Obi ridiculously suggested that those offshore companies and assets are jointly owned with his family members and that he was not under obligation to declare companies jointly owned. “I don’t declare what is owned with others,” Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES. “If my family owns something I won’t declare it. I didn’t declare anything I jointly owed with anyone.”

This is contrary to the position of the Constitution, which specifies the declaration of all assets, whether jointly or partly owned, PREMIUM TIMES’ reporters told Mr Obi. He said he was not aware of that provision of the law.

Nevertheless, leaked records show Mr Obi is the sole ultimate beneficial owner of the offshore companies. So he did not even jointly own it with anyone.

In that case, Mr Obi has violated Nigeria’s Code of Conduct law and, if authorities decide to act appropriately, he could be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, a special court that tries public officers for any contravention of the Code of Conduct for Nigerian public officers as spelt out in the Fifth Schedule of the Nigerian constitution.

The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) were established to enforce “a high standard of morality in the conduct of government business, and to ensure that the actions and behaviour of public officers conform to the highest standards of public morality and accountability.”

Breaking the law: Number 3

The former governor could be charged with failing to declare his offshore holdings and their associated assets and operating foreign accounts while being a public officer.

The Nigerian constitution and the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act forbid a public officer from maintaining or operating a bank account outside Nigeria. However, as a governor, Mr. Obi continued to operate and maintain foreign accounts, including with Lloyds TSB.


Mr. Obi told PREMIUM TIMES that he received the advice to create an offshore structure from Lloyds TSB, which then introduced him to intermediaries who helped him to set up com where he continued to operate a foreign account as a governor.

The offences violate sections of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.

Vox Pouli, Vox Dei- the voice of the people is the voice of God.
Aptly demonstrated in the Jewish people's insistence on having a King instead of Judges rule over them, and the Lord God of Israel obliged them.
So who is a bloody politician to go against the will of the people who allow him to be in power?
Who is the empty headed politician who would do that? Do you know

But there is no "voice of the people". Or you mean voice of majority, but many times the majority proves wrong.
But anyway here's the statement we are debating verbatim:
In this life someone go sha senior you

How else will people remain forever poor if they don't spend like prodigal sons- demolishing and building new, expensive but hollow replacements instead of cheaper maintenance & upgrades forever?
But who are they, if not our own personal persons at the local, state and federal governments, either in the legislative or executive arm, as well as in religious bodies, academic institutions, private companies etc?
In short, is that not how we all are

No time for your hair splitting arguments.
Point is made clearly for those interested to work on making their voice heard as the majority dominating the group discussion and setting the agenda for action.
No time for distracting trolls.

I will surely do that, but there's not enough pictures on the internet concerning Osinbajo's residence.

I've searched thoroughly, I only saw three photos that doesn't capture the place well.

This is Aguda house, the official residence of Nigerian vice President yemi Osinbajo
I once once involved I the construction of the official residence of Nigeria's vice president at three Arms Zone in late 2010. The construction was being handled by Julius Berger. Don't know if the vice president has moved in since then.

What I find fascinating is the fact that it is the President that uses the VP's residence more. Hosting party (Biden), jogging (Bush) even the First Ladies too. They should just scarp the Office of the VP. This is why I have so much respect for Prof. Osinbajo. What he has been able to acheive as VP is unprecedented despite having no powers.

See this one, what has any of this to do with frugality with public funds and reigning in Nigeria's explosive cost of governance?? Obi is the perfect man for that job - his own personal frugality with public funds will be an inspiration to all.
Also you don't realise much of the stuff you are imbibing and posting are from people who hate MPO because he won't let them loot Anambra"s money

Also, note that as we speak Tinubu is stealing Lagos tax money. Not that he paused the stealing to run for president! grin

Bush and Biden, were both at one time Vice Presidents. Bush to Ronald Reagan from 1980-88 and Biden to Obama from 2009-2017.

The average Nigerians are so pathetic, stupid, and divided that they don't realize how much power they possess in a democracy.

That's why the politicians and leaders love religion and ethnicity so much! They know with these two things, they will always get away with murder!

That's why elected leaders like Buhari, El-Rufai, Uzodinma, etc, can afford to do what they please at the expense of their bosses (the masses) because the electors are too lost in their infighting to put them on their toes!
