Why is Nigeria not developed? Corruption? Wrong! ❌
It is underdeveloped because most Nigerians don't really want it. All they want is electricity for their personal convenience, one road to religious centres, another to clubs, and a final one to international airports.
“THE NORTH DOES NOT NEED ROAD PROJECTS”
“I wonder why the President thinks these many roads being constructed across the north is what the region needs. Do they even have the means to buy vehicles to ply these roads ?”

As Omojuwa said, you can insult him with anything in this world and go scot-free, but there'll be world war III if you call him Obidient.

Is YabaLeft succumbing to the temptation of partisanship?
For there’s surely no manner in which you might listen to what this minister said—and I listened to it THRICE, to exhaust every conceivable obligation of charity—and arrive at so egregious a distortion.

Peter Obi said there is absolutely no need for the President of Nigeria to have a manifesto and framework to govern Nigeria.
Someone vouching for the highest position in the country.

Construction is advancing on Section 4 of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway (Ogun and Ondo corridor), with site clearing, sand filling, reinforcement ongoing and the alignment gradually taking shape towards the ondo axis.

FG adds 640MW transmission capacity to national grid with six new substations
The Federal Government has commissioned six transmission substations in Kano and Katsina states, adding 640 megawatts (MW) of electricity transmission capacity to the national grid as it intensifies efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s power infrastructure.
The projects comprise four substations at Walalambe, Kumbotso, Dakata and Dan-Agundi in Kano State, which collectively add 544MW of transmission capacity, and two 60 megavolt amperes (MVA) substations in Kankia Local Government Area of Katsina State, contributing another 96MW.
The Ministry of Power announced the developments in a statement released on Saturday, October 24, 2026, following the commissioning ceremonies held during the week.
The additional capacity is expected to improve the transmission network’s ability to evacuate and deliver available electricity to distribution companies and consumers in the two states.
The reason Nigeria is not developed is that Nigerians don't actually want development.
- We want roads, but the roads must not cost us.
- We don't want flooding, but structures that are in the way must not be removed.

Local governments must be given the opportunity to function if we care about the ordinary people of this country

Let’s assume this is true, Nigeria’s total historical revenue is about $600 billion, in the last 60 years.
That amount is too insignificant to explain why 🇳🇬Nigeria should not be a poor country
When you Divide the “stolen money”, $400 billion, by 66 years since independence, you get $6.06 billion stolen per year
And then divide that by average population between 1960 and today (137 million people) : $44 per year
In the last 60 years, 🇳🇬Nigerian politicians has, presumably, stolen $44 from each Nigerian, each year.
Nigeria, in 2026, have digitized their fiscal systems, tightened procurement standards, so it is impossible to easily steal $6 billion without getting flagged.
Even if you ended all stealing in the country, it would still be a poor country.
Pls. Stop speaking about things you know nothing about. It’s becoming EMBARRASSING

Yes. The US Army Private earns that amount yearly then travels to Nigeria to spend the money in rent, foods etc.
We can demand better ( and we must do that) pay for our military and other workers but making unreasonable comparisons is disingenuous.
You would think that Anambra, the place he was purported to be governing at the time, was a paradise.
Peter Obi flew into Haiti in 2010 - days after a devastating earthquake flattened the country with actor Bob Manuel.
He didn’t just drop off a cheque. He donated $200,000, then stayed on the ground as an aid worker… with his son.
Was he campaigning to become President of Haiti?
No.
He was simply doing what some leaders only pretend to do when the cameras are rolling.

It’s crazy how some of you twisted a conversation about the deliberate, life-threatening imitation of NAFDAC-approved, well-established international and national food, drugs, beverages, and cosmetics brands, etc., such products that people have trusted for decades, and turned it into “but what of agbo?”
Yes, agbo is generally dangerous because it is unregulated. But people who buy agbo know they are buying an unregulated product that hasn’t been lab-tested and approved by NAFDAC? Does that make it safe? NO!! But the users know exactly what they are getting into.
So, how on earth is that the same as deliberately imitating baby food (baby food!!), alcohol, beverages, malaria drugs, and cancer drugs, etc., to deceive unsuspecting consumers? What kind of disgusting whataboutism is that?
Someone buys a product from a trusted store, believing it is the original brand they have trusted for years. They feed it to their baby, they drink it, or take it as medication, completely unaware that what they bought may contain dangerous ingredients that could harm them or their kids and worsen their situation. Sometimes those drugs would be grounded chalks with no active ingredients.
Do you people understand the implications of this?
It’s so pathetic that you can’t see (or pretend not to see) that this is about known DANGER and DANGEROUS DECEPTION. The first can be avoided, the second takes advantage of innocent, unsuspecting people in life-threatening ways. All because of profit.
It’s one thing to use a product that you already know its risks or that you suspect may be substandard. It’s another thing entirely for someone to deliberately deceive you into buying and consuming a potentially dangerous product by making you believe it is the original. You can’t see the difference the deception makes?

How Una Dey Take Do am?
Under Buhari, Nyesom Wike and Reno Omokri were your heroes. You celebrated them and there was nothing bad anyone could say about them to you.
Under Tinubu, same people have become your worst villains and there's nothing good anyone can say about them to you.
When killings happen in another region, you are loud in protest and vocal activism. When it happens in your own region, you go mute or explain it away when the culprits are your kith and kin.
A president derogatorilly labels a group of people as 'dot in a circle' and you call him out, justifiably though. Another president labels entire country "shit hole" or "disgraced" or any other derogatory words and you celebrate him.
A politician tells lies and you call him out or affirms criticism against him. Your favorite religious figure does same and you find a thousand and one reason why he must not be called out let alone criticised.
Whoever you like can never ever be wrong on anything. Whoever you don't like or hate can never ever be right on anything.
Whether this is some sort of charisma or ingenuity, I can't tell. I'm just wondering how una dey take do am🤷♂️

Any political leader or group of citizens who wrongly believes that corruption and high cost of governance are the major problem of Nigeria today has only further revealed himself to be an ìncompetent and ignorant person. Peter Obi & his political infants belong in this ignoble class.
The economic problems of Nigeria are multidimensional and prime among these are:
1. Failure of successive governments to implement the wealth-creating capitalist, sustainable economic model that transformed countries in Asia.
2. The other problems emanates from the above.
Besides, Peter Obi has no record of building anything of value. Nothing besides a superficial, tokenistic approach to governance that never added any legacy development to Anambra.
