This video is a call for help.
My mum is battling with stroke, and it is slowly taking her life. She needs urgent medical funds to stay alive, and I cannot do this alone anymore. Please, if you have it in your heart to help or retweet this to someone who can, I beg of you 🤲🏻🙏
The Nigerian Police Force have rescued Adelabu's kidnapped family under 72H.
Under 3days.
46 children and their teachers, are still in captivity after 3 weeks.
If the entire workforce in Oyo state isn't occupying the streets next week - all of you are fools.
They said we betrayed Arewa when we picked Peter Obi for president because he is Igbo.
Now they're picking Ngozi, who's also an Igbo, to be Atiku's running mate.
It seems Kachallah and his minions only value the Igbos when they contest as deputies.
What a shameful thing to do.

Many aspirants for @NigeriaNDCHQ primaries for offices in Imo State have been meeting me and complaining that some officials collected money from them for ticket without delivering.
Please if you are one of those who paid money to anyone apart from officially declared fees contact me and let me recover your money.
There must be accountability for fraud. This is beyond politics. If you collected money for a transaction, then perform or refund.
There must be accountability
Yesterday, I was in Strasbourg, France, to attend sessions at the European Parliament.
While there, I spent the day holding a series of constructive meetings with several members from various committees, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, to the Members of the Africa-EU Delegation Committee, to the Committee on Transport and Tourism, and Development, amongst others.
I appealed to them to strengthen their relationship with Africa, especially Nigeria, which stands as a key frontier for global development. Africa, as I reiterated, is a continent of immense potential, the second-largest in size and population, richly endowed with natural resources, and powered by a vast, youthful demographic. Yet it remains the face of global poverty, largely because of bad leadership and entrenched corruption, a reality clearly reflected in Nigeria.
I urged them to support the development of Africa, particularly Nigeria, by advancing good governance. This includes supporting our democratic processes in ways that promote the emergence of competent leaders with the capacity and integrity to transform our nations.
I also highlighted how they can support us in addressing insecurity, improving power generation and distribution, strengthening education and healthcare, and lifting our people out of poverty. This is necessary because our success as a nation and the success of Africa have a direct benefit to Europe.
I also underscored the need to invest in and support Nigerian youths who have an immense desire and drive for entrepreneurship and productivity, if well supported, but are now facing despair due to limited opportunities.
Africa and indeed Nigeria can and must work for all and contribute to global developments.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Peter Obi took questions at the Africa Business Club Conference as well. It was a full session & he held his audience spellbound. You can see his obvious agility, gravitas, & sharpness. This is the type of 21st century president you need.
What Our Pervasive Insecurity Requires: A Holistic not Reactive Approach.
In a hasty effort to be perceived as attentive and courageous, it is reported that President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of about 1000 forest guards for Oyo State. This is a further demonstration of poor leadership and attending to very serious governance and security issues with a reactive approach. It is the same reactive approach that led to the sudden removal of fuel subsidy and floating of the Naira that has caused irreparable damage to ordinary Nigerians and the economy.
While recruiting more security personnel for Oyo state and the country is important, it should be done in a more organised and well-thought-out manner. Presently, almost all the 36 states in Nigeria are experiencing different forms of insecurity, with Oyo, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Borno, Katsina, Anambra, Niger, Imo, and Sokoto being very alarming.
The question, such as the reactive approach of our President, is whether all the states will receive the same approval to recruit 1000 forest guards per state, that is 37, 000 forest guards for the 36 states and Abuja or is the recruitment approval based on the mood of the President? Moreover, with the approval for Oyo, what will happen to the Amotekun Corps that is trying its best to secure South-West Nigeria?. Will they be disbanded in Oyo state?
The pervasive insecurity we currently have is directly related to the failure of our ecosystem, particularly leadership. It is only failure in leadership that can lead to the death of over 10,000 innocent Nigerians since 2023, and Nigeria is ranked among the top-most terror-affected countries in the world.
Addressing our insecurity situation requires a holistic or what can be described as an ecosystem approach. With failure in leadership, there is failure in unifying our dear nation, failure in industrialisation, failure in harnessing our abundant resources in agriculture, minerals, tourism, water, sports and even oil and gas to effectively generate required revenue, growth and particularly jobs for our exponentially growing youth population.
A New and Productive Nigeria will be POssible, and we will be OK! -P0
An Obi who does not have any single Igbo person in his inner “daily task” circle, is an Igbo candidate
But Tinubu who’s Chief Spokesperson, Chief of Staff, Advisers & Entire Inner circle are ALL YORUBAS is not a Tribal Candidate
The Paradox you only see in Nigerian politics. 📌
