Currently managing a 2 Storey duplex project for a client, halfway in and I got a call from him saying, “Jude be like I don make financial mistake, I suppose carry this money take process Japa with my family”.
I felt bad not because he might not continue the project but because so many people willing to invest in this country has been discouraged by what is happening everyday.
We need to take back our country, please get your PVC!
It was a profound honour to join fellow party members at the special affirmation ceremony of His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the Presidential Candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general elections.
I am particularly humbled and deeply honoured by my ratification as the party’s Vice Presidential Candidate.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the National Leader of the NDC, Senator Seriake Dickson, and all other leaders for this bold and visionary decision. It clearly reflects the NDC’s unwavering commitment to national unity, democratic consolidation, and purposeful leadership as we prepare for the 2027 elections. - RMK
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY MR. PETER OBI FOLLOWING HIS NOMINATION AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS(NDC) – MAY 30, 2026
Protocols,
Esteemed citizens of Nigeria,
It is with deep humility that I accept the role of presidential candidate for our party.
I express my profound gratitude to the leaders of our party. His Excellency Seriake Dickson, the National Chairman, National Secretary and the National Working Committee, NWC members and members of our relentless supporters, and the Nigerian populace who have steadfastly kept the spirit of hope alive. I commend those who have made the journey from every region of our nation to convene here in Abuja.
I wish to assert unequivocally: a New Nigeria is Possible. This conviction has united us; it must serve as our compass on the challenging road ahead and sustain us through all trials we may face. This pivotal moment transcends the individual ambitions of Peter Obi; it concerns the essence of our nation and the future of our children. It is about rekindling hope for millions who have faced adversity yet remain committed to Nigeria.
Today, our nation finds itself at a crucial juncture, enveloped in uncertainty. Families are anxious about their safety; parents are concerned for their children's futures; and talented youth increasingly question their prospects in their homeland.
Businesses are struggling, communities are suffering, and an alarming number of citizens have lost faith in the very concept of governance. Yet, I stand before you filled with optimism and strong faith in the resilience of our people, for I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is possible.
UNITY
To realise this New Nigeria, we must first mend the foundational elements essential for the success of any nation.
Nigeria cannot advance while fragmented by ethnic, religious, regional, or narrow political divides. We may communicate in different languages and practise diverse faiths, but we share a singular destiny under one flag. Our diversity should not be a source of division; rather, it is among our greatest strengths.
We should build bridges where others erect barriers, replace mistrust with confidence, division with understanding, and resentment with a collective purpose. A united Nigeria is indispensable. As Will Durant wisely pointed out, "A great civilisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." We must never self-destruct. We must heal, unify, and progress together.
INSECURITY
In terms of security, the situation in Nigeria has considerably worsened. The global terrorism impact assessments ranked Nigeria as the 8th most affected nation in 2022, 6th in 2024, and 4th in 2026.
Yet, for many years, Nigeria garnered global recognition as a reliable contributor to peacekeeping, regional stabilisation, and conflict resolution. Our troops have not only displayed bravery but have also shown professionalism, discipline, resilience, and empathy in the most challenging operational contexts. Our officers and personnel have successfully commanded multiple international forthe ces, safeguarded vulnerable civilian populations, monitored ceasefires, reinstated constitutional order, and contributed to rebuilding efforts.
Nigeria became one of the leading contributors of troops from Africa to UN peacekeeping missions and earned widespread admiration for operational effectiveness and leadership in various countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, Western Sahara, Congo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Haiti, and Kuwait. At one pointin a Nigeria, Lt. General Isaac Obiakor (rtd) even led global peacekeeping initiatives.
We must address insecurity with resolve and urgency, for no nation can thrive while its citizens live in trepidation. The primary responsibility of the government is to ensure the safeguarding of lives and property.
We Remember Our Fallen Heroes Today.
Dear Igbo Nation, today marks 56 years since we tragically lost over 4.5 million Igbo brothers and sisters to the Nigerian–Biafran War. They gallantly fought and died so that we might live. 🕊️
Let's Retweet in their memory. 🙏
Someone just tagged me to a video of a lady who buried a Bible in her building foundation.
Burying a Bible in a house foundation is not Christian theology; it is superstition and as a matter of fact, a desecration of the Sacred Bible - the Word of God. The Bible is meant to be read, prayed with, and lived, not buried as a protective object or charm. True spiritual security is not superstition, it is communion with God.
Jesus cursed the fig tree, was it fair?
1. In order to explain this, you have to try to understand the personality of Jesus. Jesus is a very practical teacher, and he loves to make use of real, visible examples to drive home his point. He made use of metaphors and symbolisms.
2. Let me give some instances: While walking through a vineyard, Jesus taught that he is the vine and we the branches. While teaching in a dark room or at night he taught that no one lights up a bushel and hides it under a bed. One time, Jesus grabbed a child in the middle of the crowd to explain that we have to become like that child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He also washed the disciples feet to teach them humility. He could've just used verbose language to tell them to be humble. But no. He had to act it out. At first the people must've been shocked, but with time, they got to understand his pedagogic method.
3. Now back to the fig tree. Jesus was walking into Jerusalem to inspect the Temple. He knew what he was going to do in the Temple, he was going to upturn tables and flog people koboko. Lemme tell you this also. In the Old Testament, God often compared the nation of Israel to a fig tree or a vineyard. So, when Jesus saw a tree that looked great from a distance but was totally barren up close, it was the perfect metaphor for the religious leaders of His day. They looked super holy on the outside (lots of green leaves), but they were corrupt on the inside (zero fruit).
4. When Jesus cursed the tree and it withered up, He was acting out a warning: "If you just play dress-up with religion but don't actually care about love, justice, and faith, the whole system is going to dry up and collapse." Just like washing feet was a symbol for humility, the withered fig tree was a physical symbol for the danger of being a hypocrite.
How is this deconstruction?
This is basically the Nehemiah principle.
You build with one hand and hold your sword in the other.
Being a christian doesn’t stop your brain from functioning.
As a believer, you should have value and be productive.
GOD is not going to come down from Heaven and do the things you need to do by yourself for you.
