Over the weekend, I visited Nsukka in Enugu State, where I donated N20 million to the Faith Foundation Mission Hospital, Nsukka. This is in line with my consistent commitment of investing in the most critical areas of national development, namely: health, education,
No matter what happens, life ain't over. As long as God wakes you up, that means he ain't through with you yet. When God wakes you up, he has something for you that you haven't received. Every day you have the opportunity to make something happen.
I learnt with great reservation, the approval of a 114% increase in the salaries of elected politicians, including the President, vice president, governors, lawmakers as well as judicial and public office holders by the Revenue Mobilisation,

Why I Endorse Peter Obi for President of Nigeria
By Jeffrey Guterman
I have been asked countless times why I support Peter Obi and why I am interested in Nigeria and its politics. So I have decided to write a brief article explaining all of this. Whenever I am asked these questions, I can now point people to this article.
In 2021, I began listening to and participating in international discussions on Twitter Spaces, an audio conferencing function on Twitter. This gave me an opportunity to expand my experiences and understandings outside of the United States. In particular, I resonated to discussions by Nigerians. I would often be asked and I am still asked why a white man is interested in Nigeria. Soon, Nigerians started attending the discussions that I broadcasted.
On June 5, 2022, I learned of the mass shooting at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo in Ondo State, Nigeria. I was mortified. I saw an image of congregants laying face down in pools of blood that I still cannot get out of my mind and I felt a deep compassion for Nigerians that I continue to experience.
After the church attack, I began looking closely at the upcoming presidential election in Nigeria. I researched the major candidates and it became obvious to me that Peter Obi was the only choice for a better Nigeria. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, candidate for the All Progressives Congress, is a drug lord. Atiku Abubakar, candidate for the People’s Democratic Party, laundered money. In contrast, Peter Obi, candidate for the Labour Party, has an exemplary educational background and he served as Governor of the Anambra State with competence. There are no flies on Peter Obi. He has a positive vision for Nigeria.
When asked my opinion about the Nigerian 2023 presidential election, I would say that Obi was the only choice. And then suddenly it happened. It felt like electricity shooting through my mind and body. I became obidient and I proudly announced on Twitter my allegiance to Peter Obi. Needless to say, I was overjoyed when Obi followed me on Twitter. In early July of 2022, I began hosting online discussions to support the campaign with other supporters of Obi. On August 30, 2022, I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Obi in Houston at his presentation “Active Engagement by Nigeria Diaspora in Capacity Building and Civic Leadership In Nigeria.”
Some people have asked what’s in all of this for me. My interest in Peter Obi has given me something bigger than myself—even bigger than Peter Obi—to believe in. I have developed close relationships with many Nigerians. I have found Nigerians to be among the nicest people. Nigerians are brilliant, creative, beautiful people. Regardless of what happens in the 2023 election, I will always treasure my Nigerian friends.

You guys don’t get it. 😂
It is not Sanwo-Olu that is running for re-election.
It is an entire criminal institution and enterprise trying to retain power through him. He is just the figurehead.
Vote LP in Lagos from top to bottom.
The moment I said Peter Obi is the Candidate that I will cast my vote for, I have been subjected to all sorts of attacks and insults by some APC supporters.
Calling me a Bastard does not change the fact that Peter Obi is MY choice!!
Cry today, tomorrow and Forever!!!

This is Same minute, same seconds, noisy environment. You got a snippet from a video probably when he blinked his eyes to deceive yourself.
Obi is pressing your neck.
I went to visit my mother 2 weeks ago. I was giving out money to some people in the neighborhood as I always do anytime I go home. A woman walked up to me and asked why I am against a particular candidate.. I said I am not against anyone. All I want is for a better country…
“… I chose to not allow my scars to be the one defining thing about me. I chose to make it clear that there are many other parts of me that matter.”
Thank you @JOLearyInspires, fellow burn survivor-turned-speaker, for having me🥰🙏🏽
