'Stingy man': What Peter Obi did in 2009 - Bianca Ojukwu

Image
  Recall that Mbaka had during his ministry's gathering in Enugu State, said Peter Obi can't be Nigeria's president because he is a stingy person. He declared that unless God ceases to exist, Obi would never smell the seat of the president. Bianca, recounting her experience with Obi, disclosed how the former Anambra Governor refused to buy a $3,985 suit and went for a $220 suit in 2009 just to donate money to help the needy. According to her, if Obi's value is defined as 'stinginess' then Nigeria needs to adopt such a mould for a sustainable environment. Her post on Facebook read: " NO APOLOGIES, PLEASE. On Peter Obi's supposed 'Stinginess'.... "In Life, You either live by your creed or you desecrate the mould by which the Almighty created you. Any progressive nation measures an individual by his values, not his vaults. "If this way of life is what is derided as 'stinginess' on the part of Peter Obi, then we all need to adopt t...

EKITI 2022: Shine Your Eyes!

Image
As Ekiti State prepares for the 2022 gubernatorial election, many candidates across political parties are jostling for the number one public position in the state. It is therefore the constitutional right of all the contestants to contest; hence they have not gone contrary to the constitutional provisions. However, I think it is very important for the citizens of the state at this time to adopt and use the slogan “shineyour eyes”. It is no news that public office in Nigeria attracts numerous benefits; little wonder most politicians are dying for it. Most politicians are contesting in elections not because they want to better the lives of the citizens, but rather because of personal gains and influence as is practicable in Nigeria. Our dear state is the “base of intellectuals” across works of life in Nigeria and has indeed suffered set backs and cannot compare with most states in terms of socio-political wellbeing. Not only intellectually are we endowed, but also blessed as well in term...

And he has now muddied the waters further, telling talkSPORT, “I’m 100 per cent retired. Nothing’s changed. Everyone’s making all these ...

Manchester United made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract

Image
  Paul Pogba has complained Manchester United offered him "nothing" despite the midfielder reportedly being offered two contracts worth more than £290,000-a-week. In a preview of 'The Pogmentary', as seen by The Athletic, Pogba responds to his late agent Mino Raiola about United's second proposal last July. “Did Manchester (United) make a second offer?” Pogba asks Raiola. “Yes," the Italian responds. "They absolutely want you to stay. For me, the offer doesn’t reflect that. I told them, ‘If you want him to stay, don’t make that offer’. I will make them understand that if they really want you to stay and they want to build a project around you, this time they have to act differently and put the money on the table.” “They’re bluffing,” Pogba says. “How can you tell a player you absolutely want him and offer him nothing? Never seen that.”
