Yesterday at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Anambra state, Anambra Governor Peter Obi presented a
cheque of N160 million which is to be disbursed to 160 first class
graduates who are origins of the state. The Governor said it was a
gesture by his administration to encourage undergraduate students to
strive for academic excellence.
He directed that none of the recepients should be given cash
but the money should be paid into their various accounts for better
utilization.
Nice one... Very good of him.
ReplyDeleteUnder which budget? His personal pocket??? Watz d criteria? Do dey have names of all Anambra indigenous students??? Will they ask schools to send them names of anambra indegenes that made 1st class?? Or will it be based on results from only schools in Anambra? Results from which year to now? Just what does dis #160m 'charity' mean? Hope its not a looting strategy. Linda either u need to get more details or this you post my comment so that they may see.
DeleteThis one is a big fat lie,which day.this one na propaganda.
DeleteU hav d answer and u re still askin....ode

DeleteThe people incharge of the cheque, Should make sure the awardee's names are made known to us that's αℓℓ.
Deleteits true..my bros benefitted from it yesterday
DeleteStupid questions. You should know that things must have been tiedied up before coming yo the fore to announce it. The government know the 160 students so don't come painting him as a fraud ok. I know you are a Yoruba man, envy is your middle name. Tell your governor to do the same.
DeleteAnon 4:37am you are very very stupid for saying "i know you are a yoruba man" must you b tribalistic? Linda if you no post dis comment oyo for you.
DeleteNice one Obi

DeleteThis is such a stupid gesture, teach dem how to fish and don't give dem fish.
ReplyDeleteImprove the standards of schools and Universities and they wouldn't need your 1M.

U'r a fool!
DeleteDo you have an idea what a million naira can do in the life of an average Nigerian?
Because you didn't get a first class?? Stop hating Idiat! Mtcheeeeew hater!
DeleteYou obviously don't understand the idiom anon 11:21 has used. This "gesture" will not in any way alleviate the economic problems facing the state. How much of this money is going to help the state in the long run? We already know the unis they passed out of did not teach them enough to create industries that will later on generate employment for others in the state. No govt with good intentions would do what Obi has done here. Nigerians do not have an ounce of socialism in our make up. Shame.

Delete@anonymous 1:35pm,
DeleteThe money has positively affected the lives of the few citizens who got the money.
Don't u knw one million naira is big money ?
The beneficiaries can establish their own business outfits whr pple will be employed.
Besides their parents will be relieved of d stress of thinking of hw their children will get employed.
He has done well.
Let's commend the efforts of pple in government who make efforts not just condemn always.
@anonymous 1:35pm,
DeleteSince u hv an ounce of socialism in ur own make up,why don't u join politics and improve the state of Nigeria ?
#judgementalbeing
Osas...or wateva d hell ur name is. it's lame idiots lyk u dat re d reason Nigeria is a failure. You take the small piece of cake they throw ur way n u re damn content living like a rat! He didn't see Jobs 2 giv dem, it's one million naira. Idiots like u b praising Governors 4 doin so little wen dia is so mch 2 b done. He shud provide first class jobs for dem, nt give em one million and expect us 2 praise him lyk he has done a great tin
DeleteMumu!!!! If you have nothing to say, go and watch Telemundo. Ewu your village. How is this a stupid gesture?? Anyway, coming from a stupid air head, why am I surprised?? Third class material!!
DeleteUz.
I agree with anon 1:35pm. Its nt right for govt to enrich a few when the majority are lacking. @ angry osa, can u nt see where anon said we nigerians? #olodobeing

ReplyDeleteGood one M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ dear governor. I believe its good to encourage people who worked hard.
ReplyDeleteNice one my Governor, at least our people would be motivated to strive for excellence. Kudos to Great Anambrarians.
ReplyDeleteFoolishness! Nigerian goverment won't do anything till it they want to get outta the office! Man men.
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeleteThis man keeps surprising us with his accomplishment and achievement. First he is leaving almost 120billion in the coffers of the state and now he is giving 1milla to first class students aint that nice how i wish others would follow kudos to him
ReplyDeleteHe is copying what delta state governor has been doing for years now. In delta it is even 5 million not one million.
DeleteYour Excellence Mr Governor,that is good a gesture,wish other governor's we emulate you because it we go a long way to encourage our student.yemi my lover
ReplyDeleteThat was was a good gesture. please improve the academic system because this would only encourage malpractice and corruption in the tertiary institutions because people will do what ever it takes to make first class. Why not sponsor them to further their education? Please stop campaigning for 2015 in a subtle way.
ReplyDeleteThis man must be an igbo baby making factory child.
ReplyDeleteAre there good roads, adequate medical facilities, flood defenses, good security, good educational institutions, are the civil servants being paid well, is there pension for the retired?
Instead of opening motherless children homes, creating hospitals and slimlining bureaucracy, he's throwing Nigeria's money into the hands of those who are at for life.
Even if it's in his account, did he not embezzle it? Why can't he get the students internships or jobs?
If any of these people accept the money, that will be blood money for the heads of ask the boko haram victims. They will all forever be poor.
This has to be investigated, does he know the people his giving money, are they his relatives.
It's obvious igbos think the rest of Nigeria is full of invalids, there is nothing like free money. You accept that money, you forfeit your lives.
What a whole load of nonsense. Never been so infuriated.
What is this retarded queer he goat saying? 😡
DeleteHe's saying your mother and father are barren and they bought you from an igbo baby making factory.
DeleteAre you happy with the answer? Leave a message below your iq which is below 0. Bastard.
Smh

DeleteCongrats to them
ReplyDeleteStupidity rears its ugly head once again. What functioning society would allow this and even worse see it as good governance? Nigeria is a country fuelled by largesse.
ReplyDeleteWell said!!!

ReplyDeleteHe is better than most governors who spend scarce resources on bleached beauty queens and bachanal reality shows.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gov Obi. It's good to encourage students to study hard. I hope other governors and big companies will follow the lead and not only be sponsoring dancing and singing competition as if those that have brains are no longer useful. Its time bright students are recognized and encouraged in this country.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don't think giving out N1m is the best thing to do. Kudos to the students who made a first class. It is not easy at all. But this might encourage higher kind of malpractice just like 'Liber Eyes only' said and students will do whatever it takes to make a first in a bid to get that share of money, and not necessarily putting in hardwork. What d government should do instead is to provide a better environment for learning, enough lecture rooms with desks,chairs that will contain everyone in that year of study. Introducing group sessions of discussion class(seminars /tutorials) where everybody will have to participate like it is done in d UK.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's great news. Linda please can you give us details as to how to apply cos I have been trying to get in contact with them as I need this money badly
ReplyDeleteThats good but, it would have been better if they find them jobs because money will finish one day:(
ReplyDeleteNICE ONE BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED THE STUDENTS AND PRESENT THEM THE CHEQUE,TO MAKE SURE THEY RECIEVE IT.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know when Delta state intends to give its 5m scholarship award. I know someone who has applied since 2012 and has had to defer her phd admission abroad cos she still dey wait for the money
ReplyDeleteHe has not paid some medical personal 4 2months salary.
ReplyDeletewoooooooow!!! thats my governor ooooo
ReplyDeleteits really disheartening that no one even noticed any mistake in this reportage. What is the meaning of "origins of the state?" Did the writer actually mean "indigenes"
ReplyDeletethe 1million is never the problem cus is money.. why didn't he offer them jobs instead of giving them just 1million that can't even take you to UK for a good weeks holiday..Rubbish
ReplyDeletePlease, how does paying money into ones account against giving them cash justify better utilization?
ReplyDeletewhose money?
ReplyDeleteI DONT THINK THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO , AT LEAST A SECURE EMPLOYMENT IS BETTER THAT THE CASH . I DONT SUPPORT THAT.
ReplyDeleteGood gesture Sir bt u need to sack all d people working 4 u in dat ur shopping Mall in abuja,they can't speak english.... Wonders wia u got 'em from,starting from d Admin to d last level......
ReplyDeleteNice 1,ve just calld ma frst class friends,de ve all gotten d money,dis genorosity,started at unn convocation,with peter obi present,when an anambrarian was d best graduating student of d year,nw he s extending it to others
ReplyDelete@jenyking I swear if I fire you hot slap, you will go into coma. U will just come here and be yarning trash, I sure say na 100k wey u dey eye and e go pass you by. Linda suppose dey use your comments blow nose, you've never made a reasonable comment in ur life. Let the gods of sense locate you today, amen. 》》[Paschal]
ReplyDeleteAS HE HANDS OVER PEOPLE WERE HANDED OVER A LIVING. I WISH THE 1ST CLASS STUDENTS GET THIS BEFORE U SEE ONYE 3RD CLASS RIDING A TOYOTA CAMRY FROM SAME FUND. ME I GET 1ST CLASS FROM ABROAD.... OWELLE ROCHAS OYA ACT, IMO NO FIT CARRY LAST, ABIA CAN CARRY LAST ITS NORMAL.WINKS**** MY HEAD OOOOOO, I DUDGE.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT UNCLE 'P'.........! YEEEEEES SIR!
ReplyDeleteBest Governor since the return of democracy. He has done well. I am from the State and I can testify that he tried. The State has lien resources because most of us are resident outside the state. He is very loyal even to the law. God will bless him the more.
ReplyDeleteObi u try but what of ppl wey go buy their own 1st class abi nobi naija wey dey, some ll even conive with their lecturers to gv dem 1st class to collect 1m n then later settle the lecturer anyway my gov u try

ReplyDeleteStill music or football is the way
ReplyDeletePls how can I get the list to check if my name is there, I actually applied via Gov Peter Obi telephone number, pls anybody with useful info on how to check d list shud help me out....Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi, have been reading this blog find out Ђδω can apply for money. Please what telephone number did U̶̲̥̅ apply and have U̶̲̥̅ received your share?
DeleteThis politicians will insult our intelligence and we cheer them on....do ya'all receive 160million might actually set up an industry that might provide sustainable jobs for this graduates??...and funny enuf I don't see them getting that money...besides we know most first class graduates are useless outside of skool...they've got no social skills, so what will they do with that money??
ReplyDeletethat's really cool of him
ReplyDelete@onyx Godwin stop beefing those with first class, whether it is a show of smartness or not. If you think you can do better As a " smart guy" then show them you can. CHANGE THE STATUS QUO and stop beefing. Thanks in anticipation.
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind of him.God bless u sir.
ReplyDeleteThat's good 1,but will this student get money really?
ReplyDeleteI hope that will improve the quality of grammar and sentence structure that I read on this blog.
ReplyDeleteKudos gov...keep it up
ReplyDeleteAn extremely stupid gesture indeed. From the amount of praises I have read in this comment it is clear our eyes are blinded by these useless leaders. If I may ask , what happens when the N1m is finished??? Please focus on improving the welfare of students and not playing stupid games. Foolish Governor!!!
ReplyDeleteSo una get first class for that 2013 set, surprised though, cos u kids loved partying more than ur books. *ur senior* lol
ReplyDeleteBut shouldn't the best thing be to offer them employment?
ReplyDeleteHi guys, please anyone with useful information about Ђδω obtain ones share as a First Class graduate. Thank U̶̲̥̅ and God bless U̶̲̥̅.
