But what was the end goal for the city boys movement???

Was I supposed to vote your candidate because you are flying private jets, getting gold plated iPhones, living lavish and taking snaps of the president??

Like how was that supposed to make me vote your candidate??

[Dr. Mary @Oluwamidunsin]

For contest,
This guy had a food business in Nigeria, it’s been operational for years. Within 3 years of Tinubu, he shut down his business. He said the cost of running it is much and he’s loosing daily.
He further explained that the price for diesel to power the restaurant (since there is no light), the cost of food stuffs in market, rent and all became unbearable but he didn’t think it’s the government’s fault.

In addition, APC took over from PDP since 2015; and the past 11 years seems to be the worse years of an average Nigerian including him; but you see these 3 years of Tinubu, it’s like 60 years of suffering compressed in 3.

But Pamilerin can’t afford to speak against a Yoruba leader because he’s from the Yoruba tribe.
A proper fool if you ask me.

I don't know if you know:

But since Bola stole the Presidency in 2023, he has only visited 14 Nigerian States. 13 were political events.

In fact, he has visited 24 countries. More countries than Nigerian states. Peter Obi has visited all.

God will punish all of you seh.

Let me state it here for the benefit of those who dont know: it takes a country at least 25 years to produce a General in the army. This is aside the financial and other investments the country will have to make to get a General.
A country like US or Russia will declare war if any of their active general is killed in another country, talk more in their homeland.
Earlier this week US spent more than $500 million to rescue their colonel trapped in a mountain in Iran war, mind you a colonel is less than a Brigadier General.

Some of the smartest people I’ve worked with behave this way.

Better to ask the so-called dumb question now so you’re only ignorant once than to stay silent, and risk staying ignorant forever.

Rest in Peace, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu

I am deeply saddened by the tragic and untimely death of Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu, a brilliant young anchor with Arise News, who was killed in the most painful circumstances during a robbery attack in Abuja.

At only 29, Somtochukwu had already distinguished herself as a gifted broadcaster and trained lawyer whose voice engaged, informed, and inspired many. Her loss is not only a personal tragedy to her family and colleagues but also a huge blow to journalism and to our nation, which continues to lose its brightest to insecurity and violence.

This heartbreaking incident once again highlights the urgent need for us as a country to prioritise the safety and security of every citizen. No Nigerian should go to bed fearful of what the night may bring, or lose their life in such senseless ways.

My thoughts and prayers are with her grieving family, the Arise News family, and all who mourn her. May her soul rest in peace, and may we, as a nation, work harder to build a country where lives are valued and protected. -PO

Just wait for the paint to dry, then paint that end.

Moral lesson: If you wait to understand how to finish, you may never begin. Just start, you'll figure it out along the way.

They called David Hundeyin many names and a conspiracy theorist when he called out those cretins who went to Ghana and started comparing fuel price.

Again, he's vindicated.

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct

One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.

It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.

I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.

Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.

I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.

In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.

My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.

If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.

I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.

We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.

Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:

sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.

Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.

These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other Presidential Candidate (Peter Obi), he was ashamed to call his name, saying "Na statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians”.

Now 2 years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from.

President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.

Governance is not a rocket science, it's not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
