History

[🔥 🍫 @Odiknacker1_]

Since I woke up this morning, I've taken my time to go through the comments, quotes, and advice people have shared. Trust me, I'm going to take every single piece of advice seriously. However, there's one advice I will not take, and that's people telling me to stay away from politics and focus solely on my business.

I think I responded to someone's comment suggesting that we should vote for Peter Obi, and I noticed that quite a number of people dragged me for it. But honestly, why should I be told not to talk about politics and just concentrate on my business? Who do you think put me in the situation I'm currently in? Is it not the government? I shouldn't talk about politics, but politics is talking about me. Do you understand how badly government policies have affected my business and my livelihood?

I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who came through for me, but the truth is, I'm still going to bear losses. And who created the economic conditions that contributed to those losses? The government.

Let me also address those who believe I made a financial mistake by opening the shop in the first place. Yes, perhaps there were things I could have done differently, but let me give you some context. My shop is strategically located between two major universities in Port Harcourt: the University of Science and Technology (UST) and Ignatius Ajuru University. These institutions have thousands of students. Do you honestly think these students don't want cookies? Why do you think I chose that location in the first place? The idea was simple: students from both universities would make up a significant part of my customer base.

Interestingly, since this whole support campaign started, a good number of the people who have shown up to support me are students from these same universities. They have always been my target audience. But the problem is that the economy has destroyed their purchasing power. These students, who ordinarily would patronise my business, are now more concerned about paying school fees, feeding themselves, and meeting their basic needs.

And somehow, I'm being told not to talk about politics?

You're telling me to focus on my business, post my products, and leave politics alone. But why can't I do both? Why can't I promote my business and also speak about the political leadership and candidate I believe can bring about the change we desperately need? Why shouldn't I advocate for someone I believe can help change the circumstances that have made running a small business this difficult?

I was fortunate that my situation gained attention and people rallied around me. But what happens the next time? Will I have to depend on a viral post before I can make meaningful sales? Is that how a business should survive? Absolutely not.

I appreciate every single person who has supported me, advised me, encouraged me, and shown me love. I will take the business advice, learn from my mistakes, and make better decisions going forward.

But please, don't tell me to stop talking about politics. The economy is affecting my business. Government policies are affecting my customers. The political decisions being made in this country have direct consequences on my livelihood.

I cannot separate my business struggles from the politics and economic realities that contribute to them. I have every right to speak about both.

PLEASE VOTE PETER OBI!!! ✌️

Ocean Bender Tinubu vs Peter Obi💨💨

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

Peter Obi is still very much likely to win Lagos again. But with a bigger margin this time.

He just sneaked into Lagos for a briefing and just a minute of noticing his presence, everywhere was filled up with people.

To command such massive crowd without prior mobilization baffles me a lot.

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

“Compare the brain of this Governor to that of Obi”. Tinubu.

Hmmm na you start o.

Watching this clip gave me a hundred and one feelings all at once. A billionaire is telling you that the current government's policies and "reforms" are tailored to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, but some ordinary Nigerians who belong among the poor don't mind selling their souls to help push these devilish reforms.

Atedo Peterside is a billionaire and you can hear him imply that the "reforms" favour him, yet he's here telling you that they are not the right reforms for a country like Nigeria and where we are at the moment.

That said, let me say the things I believe he didn't want to say out of the need to maintain decorum. In plain words, the reforms are tailored to favour the corrupt. Billionaires like him who built clean wealth from the grouns up just happen to benefit from the reforms because they're vested in the same financial spaces the corrupt ones steal all our commonwealth to get into and colonise and there's no way to stop them from benefitting from the so-called "reforms."

A good illustration is a known corrupt ex-militant trying to execute a majority takeover of a Nigerian bank. We don't understand how dangerous these things are, when people like that suddenly have enough wealth to attempt to take over our financial institutions. This is the legacy that the government of the day wants to entrench, and brethren, this is why we must fight, and fight like our lives depend on it.

Nigeria may currently be plagued by elites and billionaires who are either just as corrupt as the government or depend on government patronage for survival and so can not speak the truth to power. This is why I always say a silent prayer of gratitude whenever I listen to Atedo Peterside speak

[Ugochukwu @ugo_shib]

Since I was born, my mother has always said something that stuck with me, she was born in an old house and married into an old house.

So, I said to myself, One day, my mother must experience what it feels like to live in a new house.

And today, I’m proud to say that I made that dream a reality. I built this house for her.

Congratulations, Mum, You deserve every bit of this happiness.

@Muyiwa66 Good advice but see this.
I provide my own water, Electricity, Education, Employment AND NOW I HAVE TO PROVIDE MY OWN SECURITY because the police will rather lock a person up knowing well he's innocent than do due diligence to investigate and uncover a crime!.

INEC is letting the APC get away with electoral violations.

Omo, I’d excuse him tonight 😩🤲🏾

[Cruise 👸🏽👸🏽 @dat_deltagirl]

Keep exposing them, I spoke about opposition using international influencers since a lot of Nigerian influencers are working for APC.

I’m glad we are gradually getting there🤭🤭

"Imagine Mr Peter Obi as President of Nigeria. I feel he would be the first president to practically work like an Accountant-General because of how seriously he takes accountability and public funds. Tell me, which former governor has publicly challenged anyone to provide evidence that he st0le public money, promising to stop campaigning if anyone can prove it?"
