Peter Obi, based on his status as one of the biggest importers at the time were part of those who had different dialogues with Gen Sanni Abacha on the need to decongest Nigerian ports to foster productivity and was later appointed as “Co-opted member” of the task force serving at Apapa port alongside Edwin Okeke.
Co-opted in that letter’s subject means he was appointed based on the vote of existing members of the task force.
I’m seeing some APC minions trying to tie PO’s enormous wealth to the appointment and I understand yet again why these guys don’t see Nigeria’s alarming number of “Out of school” children as a big deal because how can you be educated and say these kinds of bullocks?
He wasn’t even Chairman of the Original Task Force or even Chairman of the Co-opted members of the task force LMAO 😂😂
I know it’s alien to you lot but some people actually made their money legitimately and Peter Obi is one of them. Why do you think people like me are following him?
Criminals.
@patrickanum Bros try run for election and then spill all your game plan. When they fail at implementing then they'd say "we tried his plan and it didn't work".
Bros do normal.
@BwalaDaniel If you want the idea, do the following
1. Write a formal request to PO and publish in major local and international media houses.
2. Let it run daily for 6 months non-stop.
3. It MUST be signed by agbado himself.
4. After the 6th month do a video begging for it.
In continuation of my quest to deepen knowledge and impact positively on our society, yesterday June 10th, in London, I held a series of important engagements, including a fruitful meeting with Alex Vines, Director of the Africa Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
Our discussions focused on strengthening strategic relationships and fostering a deeper understanding of Africa’s evolving role in global affairs. It was emphasized that Africa must no longer be viewed merely through the prism of statistics or humanitarian concern, but as a serious and equal partner in shaping the future global order, much like India, Indonesia, and other emerging centres of influence.
During our engagement, it became increasingly clear that Africa, and Nigeria in particular, must be placed at the centre of international conversations on partnership, trade, governance, innovation, and sustainable development.
Constructive dialogue and mutual respect remain essential to building meaningful cooperation between Africa and the international community.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

This is the part nobody likes to talk about. All you want is japka as if money is growing on trees abroad.
Before visa.
Before IELTS.
Before embassy prayers.
There are BASIC, LOW-LEVEL, HIGH-DEMAND skills Nigerians should already know before leaving Nigeria.
Real-life survival and money skills.
𝟏. 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐎𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐃
If you cannot drive, you will suffer.
Full stop.
Driving gives you:
• Freedom
• Multiple income options
• Time control
• Independence
People abroad make money from:
• Uber / Bolt
• Amazon Flex
• DoorDash / Instacart
• Medical transport
• Private deliveries
• Chauffeur work
Learning to drive abroad costs:
• Thousands
• Months of delay
• Failed tests
Learn it in Nigeria cheaply.
Master it.
Arrive ready.
2. HAIR BRAIDING & BEAUTY SKILLS PRINT MONEY
People joke about “braiding hair.”
Let me tell you something.
Hair pays rent abroad.
Skills that make cash fast:
• Hair braiding
• Wig making
• Loc installation
• Barbering
• Lash extensions
• Nails
These skills:
• Need little English
• Have African clients everywhere
• Pay cash
• Travel with you
Many salons abroad are owned by Nigerians.
Clients are booked months ahead.
3. COOKING IS A BUSINESS, NOT JUST A TALENT
If you can cook well, you are sitting on money.
Abroad, people pay heavily for:
• Nigerian food
• Party trays
• Meal prep
• Catering
• Frozen meals
Learn:
• Portion control
• Food hygiene
• Packaging
• Pricing
People abroad are tired.
They buy convenience.
4. SEWING & ALTERATIONS
Fashion doesn’t disappear abroad.
People need:
• Clothes shortened
• Zips changed
• Dresses adjusted
• Wedding outfits fixed
Learn sewing properly.
Not Instagram tailoring.
Real measurements.
One sewing machine abroad can feed a family.
5. CLEANING IS A BUSINESS IF DONE RIGHT
Not house-help mentality.
Commercial cleaning pays:
• Offices
• Schools
• Airbnb
• Construction sites
Learn:
• Deep cleaning
• Equipment use
• Chemicals
• Speed & quality
Many Nigerians abroad clean quietly and own houses later.
6. HANDYMAN & REPAIR SKILLS ARE GOLD
People abroad don’t fix things themselves.
Learn:
• Painting
• Basic plumbing
• Light electrical work
• Furniture assembly
• TV mounting
Clients pay for 30 minutes what some earn in a full day.
7. LAUNDRY & IRONING IS UNDERVALUED MONEY
People hate washing and ironing.
Abroad:
• Time is money
• Convenience is king
Learn professional laundry:
• Stain removal
• Folding
• Packaging
Simple skill. Constant demand.
8. CHILDCARE & ELDER CARE SKILLS
Not just “watching children.”
Learn:
• Basic childcare
• First aid
• Safety routines
• Elder support
Care jobs are always available.
Certification helps.
Experience matters.
9. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS SEPARATE YOU FROM SUFFERING
You don’t need to be a tech genius.
But you must know:
• Email
• Online forms
• Scheduling
• Scanning documents
• Printing
Many Nigerians abroad lose jobs because they can’t fill simple forms.
If you are still in Nigeria:
Learn something with your hands.
Learn something practical.
Learn something people pay for.
Visa expires.
Skills don’t.
Best wishes
There are terrorists in the bush, those ones will burn humans alive, rape children and adult alike, maim, behead, kidnap, collect ransom and wreck havoc.
Let's call them bush terrorists, they carry guns, look unhealthy and mean, they receive all the negative backlash and identity associated with terrorism.
But
There are terrorist in the city too, they don't look mean or unhealthy, some are even of the diaspora. They don't receive any negative backlash for what they do.
Some of them have very good jobs and can conveniently pass for normal human beings.
We shall call them city terrorists
Their job is clear and spelt out,
for the bush terrorists will target your body, they hope news of their previous carnages has helped paralyze your body with fear.
But the city terrorist job isn't physical it is mental, it is their job to wage massive all out psychological warfare on you.
And they have multiple rhetorics prepared for you, e.g
- there is nothing the government can do about it
- not all Fulanis are terrorists (as if it needed to be said)
- they are not terrorists they are just bandits.
- they are not terrorists they are disgruntled freedom fighters
- (add yours in the comments)
From time memorial this is how wars were waged, kill the people before you kill the people - basically get some people to prepare the people to prepare themselves for slaughter.
Because for real, what you see here is guerrilla tactics, they dare not call it war or battle,
They are outnumbered, an organized southwest army front will wipe them out in months.
The Osogbo War of 1840 is there for reference, this won't be the first time the southwest are stopping terror or land grabbing incursion.
We beat them back at Osogbo tails between legs.
Now they have to strike using elements of surprise as well as elements of familiarity.
You see cattle around and herders, you are being conditioned.
Those cattle will fair better in ranches and their owners will make more profit.
So whatever the beef is it isn't about cattle or profit.
It is an horrible agenda that must be stopped dead in tracks.
It is their first psychological strategy deployment - we are in your face and there is nothing you can do about it.
It is why they take their cattle to go and graze on NASS lands.
The end game there is to get you to resign and give up mentally.
It is the job of the city terrorists to reinforce this, make you pliable for murder and compliant to receive terror.
It is your job to identify them and treat them as hostile, this is how you keep your life.
If he has never condemned Fulani killings but is quick to speak for Fulanis, he is a city terrorist.
If he is an elite, and uses plenty of words to say nothing he is a city terrorist.
May Lord of Hosts be with you.
