“As a Yoruba Person Living In Abia State, I Have Often Heard The Claim That Igbos Don’t Sell Land To People From Other Tribes. From My Experience, That Is Not True. Many Of Those Spreading This Narrative Have Never Even Visited Igbo Land. I Have Personally Met Many Fellow Yorubas And People From Other Tribes Who Own Land And Properties Here And Are Living Very Peacefully.” ~ Ola Reacts
So ECOWAS knew that Nigeria's 2023 election was rigged, yet they still rewarded President Tinubu with the chairmanship of the organization?
Now they are talking.
Why now?
What has changed?
If you knew from the beginning that Nigeria's election was rigged, why did you immediately hand over the chairmanship of ECOWAS to the same person who emerged from that election?
Why keep quiet then, only to start speaking now?
Clowns.

The biggest victims of Tinubu's APC brainwashing and manipulation are the supporters.
Look what they turned Lawrence, Pastor Okezie, Suljah, Woye, and this one into!
Those guys has gone through a very serious menticide.
Tinubu invited Bishops to Asorock NOT PETER OBI
Arise TV invited Cardinal to discuss their meeting with the Presidency NOT PETER OBI
My Question is, How did PETER OBI enter this Whole Discussion?
I was talking to a friend one day and mentioned that the most bothersome thing about BAT is his utter lack of empathy for Nigerians. One can argue that he holds the average Nigerian in great disdain. If you are not a politician whom he can corrupt and use, you hold no utility for him. You can see this callousness in his wife and the people around him. This trait has always been there. It was there when he uttered the infamous “Where are the cows?” statement when herdsmen killed Fasonranti’s daughter.
A wicked man, through and through. 🥹
Rehabilitate Existing Infrastructure Before Embarking on New Projects
I have consistently advised governments at all levels to prioritise rehabilitating existing infrastructure before embarking on new projects that may also end up abandoned or left unfinished. For expressing this position, I have often been criticised and called all sorts of names. Yet, it remains the most responsible approach to governance.
It is therefore noteworthy that President Bola Tinubu has now cautioned state governors against committing scarce public resources to constructing unnecessary flyovers in areas with little traffic while neglecting more pressing developmental needs.
The President is, in essence, saying what I have always maintained: government must prioritise projects that directly address the immediate needs of the people. I hope those ministers, officials, and supporters who have consistently attacked this position will now direct the same criticism at him.
However, this admonition must also apply to the Federal Government. There are several unrealistic and white-elephant projects being pursued by the current administration, even as much of our critical infrastructure remains in a state of disrepair. Given our present fiscal realities, priority should be given to rehabilitating and completing existing infrastructure rather than embarking on expensive new projects with limited immediate impact.
Across Nigeria, many of our major highways linking commercial centres and food-producing communities have deteriorated into death traps. Neglecting these critical roads while pursuing prestige projects is neither economically prudent nor people-centred.
This philosophy guided my administration as Governor of Anambra State. I prioritised completing viable projects initiated by my predecessors before embarking on new ones. Government is a continuum, and development should never be measured by who starts a project, but by whether it is completed and serves the people.
Leadership is about making the right choices: fixing what is broken, completing what has already been started, and investing limited public resources where they will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President
I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.
While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.
Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.
The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.
No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.
The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.

@tunique05@greasedbygrace@godiscoco Did you also know that Obi said he won the election and he was rigged out?
Leave makeup small, it is blocking your brain.
@SopuruEgbodo@PrimusIncp You see this thing you said now, it is one of the reasons you see some of our people (former MASSOB memebers) hate him so much.
He gave them bloodied nurse and they all ran away.
