Trying hard to know who I am

[charles aniagolu @charlesaniagolu]

I don’t interview guests to embarrass them. I interview them to test arguments. If an explanation can’t withstand scrutiny, the public deserves to know.

Comparing a fake agency scandal - along with a governance breakdown involving official institutions - to 9/11 isn’t an answer, it’s a distraction.

9/11 was a catastrophic terrorist attack. What Nigerians are asking about is institutional accountability. Those are not the same conversation. When we blur them, we don't illuminate the truth - we detract from it. There's a difference between explaining a failure, and excusing one.

Thank you to everyone who reached out. It’s clear many of us still believe in one simple thing: asking hard questions, and refusing to let bad analogies replace accountability.

Journalism isn't about winning arguments. It's about refusing to let bad arguments replace accountability. That’s the job!

I can't wait to have a Governor of a south Western state who like PETER OBI will rule a state for 8yrs;

1. He didn't borrow a Kobo.
2. He didn't use bulletproof car.

5. He met Onitsha as a terror zone.
6. He met his state at 27 in WAEC and NECO.
7. He met a kitchen called Govt House.
8. He met no Primary Healthcare.
9. He met no General Hospital in 14-LGs.
10. He met poor Pri. and Sec. school structures.

Before leaving;

1. Anambra wasn't owing any contractor or worker.
2. He cleared the inherited ₦36billion debt.
3. He brought in SMEs to the traders of the state.
4. He built the today's Govt House.
5. He built 18-Gen Hospitals and a state Specialist.
6. He built 178-Primary Health centres.
7. He fought and won the state against hoodlums.
8. He pushed the state 1st in 3yrs consecutively in WAEC and NECO.

10. He even had to save ₦36billion and $150million for his successors to use and run administrations.

12. He didn't acquire any property anywhere while in office.
13. He never awarded any contract to family members.
14. His wife hadn't office, and allowed to mess with the state. She had her enterprises in UK.
15. Obasanjo had to come to Onitsha and spent 1-week bcos of peaceful environment.
16. He invited anti-graft to come and audit his administration, before handing over.
17. He refused to accept a piece of land, and gratuity and pension.
18. He never went close to State Govt House after handing over.
19. He never struggle to frustrate his successors policies.
20. Till today, he kept gifting multi-millions to Schools, Healthcare development, and entrepreneurship developments.

If your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.

Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.

Peter Obi - a man that defiles Nigeria's version of leadership.

Reasons Why I Voted for Peter Obi in 2023 — Dike Chukwumerije

This video should be trending, guys:

[DonAza @DonAzag]

Someone pushed blatant lies online, and you, as a journalist, picked it up and ran with it, without any evidence, just to push an agenda against Peter Obi. Politics has really exposed the true colours of people many once respected.

It’s clear this is coming from a place of disappointment. The expectation was to ride on the Obidient movement, but that didn’t happen, and now the frustration is showing.

Tell Atiku plainly - Aso Rock is not a retirement home.

The Bwala/Mehdi interview illustrates an important point about how investors think. When countries invite investors and make strong promises, serious investors do not rely on speeches alone. They do what Mehdi Hasan did in that interview, they research.

In the same way Hasan came prepared with receipts, foreign investors also come prepared with data. They examine governance, policy consistency, credibility of officials, and the history of how a country has handled economic commitments, even judiciary in case there are issues. What ultimately guides their decision is the research they conduct about the destination country, not whatever you tell them.

This is why many investment drives struggle to produce results. Leaders may travel around the world inviting investors to come and invest, but investors depend on evidence more than promises. If their research raises concerns about credibility, transparency, or leadership reliability, they become cautious. They ask themselves whether the environment is stable enough to protect their capital.

In that sense, the interview serves as a kind of metaphor. Just as Mehdi Hasan relied on documented records rather than verbal assurances, investors also rely on the record of a country before committing money.

As the saying goes, righteousness strengthens a nation, while wrongdoing brings reproach. In the global investment market, that principle translates directly into confidence from those deciding where to place their capital.

Make una repent. Una actions dey demarket the country.

Remembering Ayo Adebanjo

One year ago, we lost a great pillar in the struggle for a new Nigeria, Pa Ayo Adebanjo. A life devoted to justice, equity, and truth, his unwavering commitment to a united and progressive Nigeria left an indelible mark on our nation.

I remain personally grateful for his guidance and support during my presidential campaign. His endorsement was more than political - it reflected his belief in fairness, inclusiveness, and the greater good. His words, “Always stand on the path of justice,” remain a guiding principle in my life.

As we honor his memory, let us not only celebrate a life devoted to service, integrity, and unwavering principle, but also recommit ourselves to the ideals he championed. May his legacy continue to inspire all who strive for justice, equity, and the relentless pursuit of a better Nigeria. -PO

We are in 2026, and Africans still think Moral compassion, God, or International laws will protect us against imperialism!

😂😂😂

Delusion

As Steve Bantu Biko once said:
"I would like to remind the Black Church, and indeed all black people, that God is not in the habit of coming down from heaven to solve people’s problems on earth."

We better stop these delusions.

The problem is not Earnings of cement manufacturing companies but the affordability of local cement.

If Nigerians could afford cement, no one would calculate EBITA. Did anyone calculate Zenon Diesel's EBITA?

What price band is ok? If Dangote drops its EBITA to match the numbers in Africa and globally, will that spur cement consumption locally?

Asking a business person to reduce prices is like asking a man to diet. Good luck with that. You have to force down prices via competition, where the players are colluding, you separate them by incentivising sales to consumers, think of a reverse VAT.

If the government believes cement is a strategic input to national development, it can act to force competition, such as by imposing a reverse VAT or CIT on the volume produced and sold locally. Consumers also play a role in pressuring their elected leaders to pass policies that promote affordability.

Importing cement is a shiny object, but it solves nothing in the long term. What we gain in cheaper imported Chinese cement, we will lose in local job losses and a fall in local revenues.

Remember the cement armada in the 1970s

The Chinese have no cement billionaires because the Chinese government itself created the conditions for Chinese manufacturing companies to scale and achieve low marginal costs per bag of cement. Essential to note that many developed nations do have cement billionaires

In summary, don't make only the private player a bad guy; the cries should also go to the regulator who has allowed the “monopoly” you say EBITA has revealed.

You know what's worse than high EBITA and high prices? Exporting limestone to import bagged cement

Is the solution to import everything? With which fx?

Nigeria needs more local champions
