The miracle obi performed in anambra is the reason anambra state has the highest number of millionaires in Nigeria and even in Africa. There are actually more millionaires in anambra than the entire north west. Bro in my village in anambra its so hard to find a family that doesn't have millionaires. He ensured that there was microfinance bank in every major market in anambra that funded the business people and provided funds for them to expand. We had the best road network in Africa according the EU The best in education, law, ease of doing business, and transparency. So you can hate the man but not his actions.

He Master minded and developed the agricultural settlements for the region. Still prospering today. What prevents the present administration from zeroing in on that strategy? Secure the local lands and empower the citizens to produce 🥑🥝 a lot of food in a short time period. That's doable. Stay away from show boating and appearance of false life styles.

Great.. a few days ago I personally passed through the palm plantation farm settlement at Igbariam built by Dr. Okpara, Anambra State. It's still there.. I also saw the so called grain reservoir silos near Coscharis Rice Mill in that area. Those Silos doesn't look like it has any grains.. maybe Coscharis but it for his Rice Mill. These irresponsible politicians and their criminal enterprise has ruined the country. They've dominated the country and to force them out will need a military intervention or a civil revolution.

Their main, if not only interest is how to corner the commonwealth of the country for themselves and their families/cronies. How else can Tinubu give his son in law a top federal job? For the sake of optics alone, even if the said gentleman is qualified, get some other qualified Nigerian to take that position. As Professor Utomi responded in this interview, Nigerians are too patient. People should stop asking Nigerians to be patient with this administration
