The basic issue with P.O. is the same issue I had until 2024 - he refuses to acknowledge that his platform is fundamentally anti-imperial. The idea of moving Africa's largest population "from consumption to production" is a fundamentally anti-imperialism idea.
The existence of Nigeria as a consumer-import-dependent, natural resource exporter that spends resource export revenues on imported finished goods without having an industrial base to manufacture its own, is not an accident of "poor leadership" - it is the direct goal of neo-colonialism.
When instead of manufacturing goods, Nigeria instead haemorrhages its natural resources and human talent, and only receives some insufficient USD resource rents in return, this ensured that Nigeria and its African contemporaries remain artificially poor, while people who live in places where for 6 months every year, the ground freezes solid and daily sunshine is only 5 hours, remain artificially wealthy.
That is the core of the Euro-American imperial system. The military branch of this imperial system is called NATO. The governance/policy arms are called IMF/World Bank. The economic arm is called WTO. The academic/social arms are the Foundations, NGOs, policy research institutes and universities. This is what P.O. is actually up against.
So if P.O. says he wants to "move Nigeria from consumption to production", it is the same thing as declaring war on Europe, its sugar daddy in Washington, and its spiritual leader in Tel-Aviv. And if you're going to do that, you need to be fully locked in, and you need to be prepared to lose everything of yours that is under the empire's control.
I finally realised this in June 2024, and that's why I quit my £40,000/year project management job in Newcastle, packed up all my shit, withdrew all my money, gave up my 5-year UK visa, and bought a 1-way ticket back to Accra. As I am now, if and when I end up in a position of power, there is zero leverage that any white man anywhere on earth can use to blackmail me into maintaining this imperial system. I don't have property in their countries. I don't have money in their banking systems. I don't have children in their schools and universities. The most they can do is ban me from their social media.
P.O. does not want to do the same. His children are comfortable and integrated pseudo-westerners. He has property in the UK. He has money in their banks. He enjoys that regular suite at the Hilton Paddington too much. He's trying to run on a revolutionary, anti-imperialist platform while pretending that he is a friend of the Western world who doesn't want to pick a fight with them.
The problem with this is that oyibo people don't play those games. These people murdered Patrice Lumumba over a speech. You might not see yourself as their enemy, but they DEFINITELY know on what side their bread is buttered, and they know that a Nigeria where ships berth everyday, offload consumer goods, and sail away only with natural resources or empty, is a Nigeria that remains strategically poor and profitable to their empire.
They KNOW that a Nigeria under Peter Obi where education and health are properly funded, where Chinese-inspired industrial policy is enacted, where railways and steel production move to the top of national priority, and where those ships eventually start sailing from Nigeria laden with manufactured goods for export to the world, is the Nigeria that will destroy their entire parasitic way of life.
And I'm sure P.O. knows this too, but he's invested in pretending that he can play both sides, the same way Patrice Lumumba wasted valuable time doing "I am not a Communist" and trying to play nice with the same people until they killed his ass, dissolved him in sulphuric acid, and kept his gold tooth as a souvenir.
That's why I've moved on from the Obidient thing. Both he and his supporters don't know what they want and I'm exhausted.
Even his Bible says "How long will you be limping between two opinions?"
ELECTORAL POPULARITY TEST
If Amechi wins Rivers State for the coalition in 2027, I will give you or anyone you choose N10m but if he fails, you'll give any Charity that I nominates N5m?
Let's check if he's better than Obi or just like Okowa.
Everyone should save this post!!!
I just spoke with a very senior lawyer.
This jubilation over the Supreme Court judgement is premature.
I am sorry, ADC might not be on the ballot. The ruling party is tactically using the Court to frustrate the opposition.
This is sad. Our democracy is in danger.

The finest of them all:
• Most experienced
• Most verifiable track record
• Youngest among them
• And one of the most consistent voices on governance
Rotimi Amaechi Dan Amanar Daura 🤝
If you disagree, bring your facts.
If you’re unsure, ask questions.
But one thing is certain:
It’s time for a competent man to lead this country.
"We've been able to check Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and His Excellency Peter Obi; we found that they have something very much in common. Especially due to their shared values, particularly their emphasis on education.”
- John Ughulu, National Director-General, O.K. Movement.
Atiku Abubakar: I will campaign and support whoever get the Coalition Ticket.
Rotimi Amaechi: i will be on the forefront of the campaign of whoever gets the Party Ticket.
Peter Obi: ?????????
If the major determinant is the number of votes in the 2023 election, Obi will not be the candidate.
If the major determinant is competence and track record, Obi will still not be the candidate.
However, if it is cho cho cho, zero workings, empty and vague statements, a ton of hostile and intimidating supporters, and tribal and regional sentiments, ADC might consider Obi.
Therefore, what I believe is the solution for ADC is a Kwankwaso/Obi ticket, putting round pegs into round holes.
SERIOUS QUESTION FOR 2027 VOTERS 🇳🇬
What exactly makes your preferred candidate better than Rotimi Amaechi?
Not insults. Not party loyalty.
I mean:
• Projects delivered
• Institutions built
• Problems solved
Drop verifiable achievements, not emotions.
Let’s have an honest conversation.
