LEGENDARY J.O.E

Your chairman, Prince Obaigbena, should have saved the money he spent building ARISE Studios and ordered you to run your show from under a tree. After all, what is the point of building when you can boast of savings? A governor who builds nothing but celebrates money in the bank is like a father who starves his children of welfare, neglects their future and then brags about his account balance. Savings cannot replace development, just as a father's bank statement cannot replace his children's well-being.

A – Affordable or Arindin 😆 AA – Atiku Abubakar or Alpha Affordable ❌️ Akotileta Arungun ✅️✔️ SA – Sani Abacha or Slow Assassin. I honestly think people should stick strictly to their calling. Kenneth’s sickly narrative would fit perfectly into one of those low-budget Onitsha film productions. As a script, it would not be a bad attempt at fiction, where a man employs voodoo to make his name command a value it has neither earned nor deserves, defying every known principle of reason, logic and common sense. But in politics? It does not even qualify as comedy. It is plain, unadulterated stupidity dressed up as political analysis. And the unfortunate reality is that these are the kinds of opposition voices the APC is compelled to engage. Life members of the Didinrin Association, where intellectual bankruptcy is a credential and absurdity is mistaken for strategy. You people are making this campaign unnecessarily boring. Must we contend with intellectual dwarfs every time we turn around? Can we not have a worthy opposition that challenges us with facts, depth, sound reasoning and a little bit of cerebral sophistication? Please, give us men of intellect and depth. Politics is serious business, even when the opposition insists on turning itself into a travelling comedy show. Shall I Begin?

MOST PROMINENT WORLD LEADERS AND THEIR LEGACIES and where Peter Obi stands.... Lee Kuan Yew: Lee helped transform Singapore into a major manufacturing, trade and financial centre. He transformed Singapore from a vulnerable, resource-poor former British colony into a prosperous, globally competitive nation by building enduring institutions and investing in infrastructure that generations continue to benefit from. Abraham Lincoln: Preserving the Union and steering the nation towards the abolition of slavery, thereby changing the moral and political trajectory of America forever. Chief Obafemi Awolowo: Free education, free healthcare, agricultural revolution, infrastructural renewal, and most enduringly, the power of his vision. He took firm hold of yesterday, saw beyond his years and era, and built a future for his people whose blueprint several generations later still serves as a standard for enduring development. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Transformed Lagos State, which, despite its colonial inheritance and enormous economic potential, was financially stranded and dependent on federal allocations for survival, into Africa's fifth-largest economy. Akanbi looked into the Atlantic, dared the ultimate force of nature, tamed its ravaging beast and raised a city from water. A challenge even the British struggled to solve, and one the Federal Government periodically committed enormous resources to without lasting success. He equally laid the framework that transformed a wasteland into a Free Trade Zone, which today accommodates the world's largest single-train refinery. As President, he has worked towards ending incessant university strikes, consigning a 45-year-old challenge to the sea of forgotten history. Today, our students are guaranteed their four-year programmes will indeed be 4 years. He has equally worked towards ending the recurring nightmare of fuel scarcity, freeing our fellow citizens from the hours and days of productive time they once sacrificed queuing endlessly to fill their tanks. A four-decade-old challenge. He has also established a framework through which Nigerians who desire university education need not be denied the opportunity simply because their parents lack the financial capacity to pay. He has advanced the framework for State Police, confronting a challenge that has persisted for six decades. The objective is to bring security closer to the people and strengthen the fight against insecurity. Forex Arbitrage: The days when a privileged few exploited a broken system and governmental failure to rake in millions daily without corresponding productivity are increasingly behind us. Peter Gregory Obi: It cannot be education like Awolowo's, for teachers were owed months of salaries, while his successor shut down hundreds of miracle centres through which Anambra students had been indoctrinated into the culture of exam malpractice. It cannot be healthcare either, because Johnbull was waiting for mass deaths to establish that seemingly endless doctors' strikes had dealt a tragic blow to the health and survival of his people. Bro's enduring legacy was that he saved money. Even though poverty increased under his administration, he saved money. Even though there is no formidable infrastructure to speak of, Peter saved money. Even though he could not attract businesses beyond the familiar beer parlour, Obi saved money. A real-time example of the biblical servant who buried his talent. Jesus emphasised that he was punished for being unproductive and uncreative with the resources entrusted to him. Peter saved money, the same savings successive Anambra administrations have since questioned. God forbid that such a talentless, economically illiterate leper in governance should preside over our country at this critical juncture. The biblical Sodom and Gomorrah would look like a dream destination for Nigerians. Good Morning Severally...
