[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

I have said this before, and I believe it is important to remind Nigerians of my position as we approach 2027.

Peter Obi has my support for the presidency.

But my position is clear, I am not supporting the idea of Peter Obi becoming somebody else’s Vice President.

The day Peter Obi accepts a Vice Presidential position, I will walk away from his corner. I have said this plainly, and I stand by it.

My concern is not about personalities. It is about the kind of leadership Nigeria needs and the direction in which we want our country to go.

I have also argued that we should begin to rethink the age of those seeking executive office. The Nigerian presidency should not become a retirement home for politicians.

I believe there should be a serious national conversation about limiting presidential and gubernatorial candidates to those aged 70 or below.

Nigeria needs leadership that is focused on the future, not simply another cycle of political succession.

These are principles I have stated publicly, and Nigerians should judge them for themselves.

ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION

I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days.

I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics.

I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended.

Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them.

Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally:

As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility.

When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified.

Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years.

The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014.

The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting.

The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure.

This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record.

The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure.

The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.

[Zeclan @buildWithDeclan]

Wrong calculation.

Building house is not for profit, but revenue generation on capital.

When you use 120m to build house.

You have convert liquid asset to static asset.

The house generate 2.7m.

Your networth is (house - depreciation) + rent.

120m + 2.7 = 122.7m.

In 10 years, if depreciation cost 10 million.

It becomes (120m + 27m) = 147m. That is profit.

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy

My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.

We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.

The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.

The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.

It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.

If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO

[BSAT Properties @BSAT_Properties]

My mom asked me recently why many people my age are still renting.

I told her a decent house in Lagos can easily cost ₦50 million.

She said, “Then save towards it.”

I said, “mummy, even if I somehow find a house that requires just ₦15 million upfront, where exactly am I supposed to casually find ₦15 million?”

She said, “You don’t have to save everything at once. Break it down.”

So I broke it down.

Imagine you earn ₦500,000 every month.

After rent, food, transport, electricity, children, family responsibilities, healthcare and normal life, let’s be generous and say you manage to save ₦100,000 every single month.

No emergency.

No job loss.

No hospital bill.

No school-fee surprise.

No helping anybody.

No touching the money.

₦100,000 × 12 = ₦1.2 million a year.

To save ₦15 million?

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 12 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀.

Just for the upfront money.

Not the house.

Then I imagined explaining that calculation to someone who bought land years ago for an amount that wouldn’t even pay one year’s rent in some Lagos neighbourhoods today.

That’s when I realised something.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.

They genuinely don’t know how different the mathematics has become.

“Just save.”

“Buy land.”

“Build small small.”

“Stop wasting money.”

All sensible advice.

Until you put today’s salary beside today’s rent, food, transportation, building materials, land and property prices.

Then everybody becomes quiet.

The frustrating part is that many young Nigerians ARE working.

They ARE saving.

They ARE trying.

But some of the milestones previous generations achieved primarily through discipline now require discipline + significantly higher income + strategy + access + sometimes extraordinary luck.

If you kïll this bird in the presence of others, be ready to relocate from the area because they will make you live hêll on earth, figuratively.

If you kïll one of them, the others will spread the information and will threæten you day and night.

They will launch all the weapons in the arsenal to make life unbëaræble for you until you either relocate or RELOCATE, depending on how much you value your life and peace of mind.

Do you know what a group of crows is called?

MÜRDER - yes, you read it right.
