I hope all of the dramatis personae in the video who manipulated this election and changed results are living better lives now? I hope they are buying fuel cheaper than the rest of us?
It’s a simple question.
This is how history gets incrementally rewritten because nobody pushes back on narratives like this.
In reality, no generation in Nigeria ever actually "listened" to Fela. At NO point was he ever embraced by Nigeria's western-educated classes. He was always an outsider and a rebel that they treated with suspicion or outright hostility. Even the wealthy or educated who liked him had to literally hide to do so. His music was (and to the best of my knowledge still is!) banned from radio nationwide, and it eventually got to the point where he made less money in Nigeria - his primary audience - than outside it.
I grew up on a street where a few houses away was Air Vice Marshall Funsho Martins, across the street was Governor Ita Ikpeme, around the corner was Fidelity Bank MD Reginald Ihejiahi, and so on. These were the people I would often overhear having conversations with my dad, and to them, Fela was an "amugbo boy" (weed smoking loser) and community penis who used the guise of African pride to cover for his lack of personal discipline. They had no respect for what he stood for, and I personally was not allowed to listen to Fela's music while I lived under my parents' roof.
Fela was never loved by the people who were politically aware or active in Nigeria. The only people who wholeheartedly embraced Fela were the poorest and most powerless. And even at that, they lacked the education to fully understand his message beyond simple complaint and criticism of the Nigerian government. All his words about colonialism and imperialism flew completely over their heads. It was like explaining the International Space Station to someone who has never seen an internal combustion engine before.
I hate the narrative that Nigeria ever truly embraced Fela or his message because that is a laundering device for Nigerians to avoid asking themselves what on earth was so important about that message that a military government invaded his house, raped his wives and killed his mom, while the global "human rights" yappers provided cover for that government and never sanctioned them for it.
Saying that there was a generation that "listened to Fela" is an easy and disingenuous way of dismissing Fela's work and refusing to examine what made it so important that we're still talking about him nearly 3 decades after he died.
Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
No Objection to Legitimate Scrutiny of My Certificates
My attention has been drawn to reports circulating on social media concerning a legal action by an individual or group seeking Certified True Copies (CTCs) of my Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, awarded to me in 1984 by the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), as well as other academic records and credentials relating to my admission into the University.
I wish to state clearly that I have absolutely no objection to the release of these records.
I respectfully request that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, within the limits permitted by law, make available, upon legitimate request, my academic certificates, records, and other official documents relating to my admission and studies at the University. I equally have no objection to other educational institutions, within and outside Nigeria, which I attended, making my academic records available in accordance with applicable laws and procedures.
I believe strongly in transparency and accountability, particularly for those who seek the privilege of public office. Public scrutiny must, however, be fair, lawful, and applied consistently to everyone who seeks to lead our nation.
As a presidential candidate seeking the trust of Nigerians to lead our country, I welcome legitimate public interest in my background, qualifications, and record. I am prepared to subject myself to the level of scrutiny that should reasonably be expected of anyone seeking the highest office in our country. Those who seek to lead must be willing to demonstrate, through both their words and actions, that they have nothing to conceal from the people they aspire to serve.
In that same spirit, I encourage every presidential candidate to make their educational qualifications and relevant records available for legitimate public scrutiny. Doing so should not be regarded as an inconvenience or an attack. Rather, it is an opportunity to strengthen public confidence, promote accountability, and rebuild the trust of Nigerians in those who seek to govern them.
Leadership must reflect the values we expect from the society we hope to build. If we desire a Nigeria founded on transparency, integrity, accountability, and respect for institutions, those values must begin with those who seek to lead it.
I therefore welcome the scrutiny of my academic background and remain committed to the principle that those who ask Nigerians for their trust must also be willing to earn that trust through openness and accountability.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
I don close work today…
Day 3 - Night - OK Vote sensitization
I want to start with night time (frame 2 sweet me pass)
Ogbe Hausa - Ebonyi state
Whalai, Peter Obi and Kwankwaso na very good Ticket.
Hausa is ready for this election o! See energy guy!
#thenaijaweneed#NDC #Peterobi #kwankwaso
In the next 500 years, BAT cannot have this level of sophisticated thinking, let alone convey it intelligibly, even if someone else put it in his head.
Meanwhile, those who dislike this man will keep saying he hasn't told them what he'd do differently.
Just in
Sen. Dickson of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC party just announced on Arise TV that they won INEC at Federal High Court in respect of the NDC logos.
The Naija We Need remains obligated to tell you what stands in the political space.
Please take note of this development.
Share to others to see for themselves
#viral #NDC #thenaijaweneed #FYI
NDC supporters updated their banner with the blue logo in Kano State following the Federal High Court Judgment that recognized the NDC blue logo.
Kano people are always active and proactive ✌
I don close work for today.
…….
My observation - Day 1 in Ebonyi
Peter Obi support is in everyone’s lips but if you look at the environment, no Peter Obi or NDC presence. No flier, no sticker anywhere.
Youngsters know Peter Obi, but the ladies mostly don’t know he have moved to NDC.
Some oldies especially grannies prefer to take the smaller sticker which they will put on their bibles or back of their phones to rember NDC during election
Well, The government of the day is yet to promote fair political playfield, but we move regardless.
Jeffrey Sachs: Unity Is Key To Defeating U.S. Divide-and-Conquer Strategy In Africa
Economist and Author Jeffrey Sachs believes that Africa's only chance of defeating US imperialism and achieving industrialisation lies in collective action by the continent's 55 countries.
Speaking in November 2025 at the Gordon Institute of Business Science in Johannesburg, South Africa, Sachs stated that the US actively impedes the African unification project because a unified Africa would not be a source of cheap industrial inputs anymore.
The solution according to him, is for Africa to do away with the idea of carrying out industrial transformation at a national level 55 different times, and embrace unity so that a single continental push can emerge, which will be much harder to stop.
Why do you think this assessment appears to fly above the heads of so many Africans today? Let us know in the comments, and don't forget to follow The Spearhead
Hey Olodo, Let me educate you a bit.
Calling you a fool will be a compliment. At least a fool doesn't know better.
You want continental unification, but you can't unify two sentences of critical thought. Sit down and read before you type again.
You're crying about African leaders while ignoring who actually runs the table. Here's the evidence, point by point, since you clearly haven't done fifteen minutes of reading before opening your mouth.
I have added sources so you will not say you missed it.
1. Terrorism financing runs through the "respectable" class, not just bandits in the bush
David Hundeyin's own reporting, Cornflakes for Jihad, lays out how NASCO's founder, a man with access to federal ministers and even the president, allegedly laundered money for GSPC, the Algerian terror network whose fighters trained in 2002 and later formed the founding core of Boko Haram.
Source: https://t.co/RVK1SROtHe
Fast forward to now. In 2026, Senator Shehu Buba is facing public allegations of terrorism financing, surfaced by a private citizen named Hassan Fulani, not by david oo.
The Federal Government's own Sanctions Committee has published updated lists of over fifty sanctioned terrorism financiers in 2026 alone, including companies.
The EFCC reported over 900 convictions for financial crimes between January and April 2026, including a former bank MD, a former minister, and a former senator. Where's your outrage for any of that? Nowhere. Because it doesn't fit your script.

2. The banks, NGOs, and old money never get the same scrutiny
If you want accountability, name the banks moving this money. Name the NGOs used as cover. Name the decades-old conglomerates sitting on unexplained fortunes built off exactly this kind of laundering.
You won't, because your entire worldview depends on the accountability conversation stopping at Aso Rock and never reaching Wall Street, Zurich, or Dubai.
Even the Nigerian Senate knows this. In December 2025 it passed an Anti-Terrorism Act amendment specifically to force the naming of sponsors and financiers, after the House of Representatives demanded the executive name terrorism financiers outright.
That bill exists because for over a decade the government has known who's funding this and refused to name names. That's the accountability gap you should be screaming about.

3. Your "independent" media is funded by the same foreign hand you pretend doesn't exist
Premium Times, Sahara Reporters, ICIR, the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism, Daily Trust Foundation, all of them have taken direct MacArthur Foundation money through its "On Nigeria" program. Not once, repeatedly. $5 million in 2017, $6.3 million in 2019, $19.2 million in 2022.
That's over $30 million in traceable grants to the exact outlets that lecture Nigerians about foreign influence and accountability. Public record, on MacArthur's own website, not a rumor.

So spare me the lecture about who's compromised.
4. The CIA has physically operated inside Nigeria, not in theory, in practice
Declassified JFK-era files, released in 2025, confirm the CIA ran an active covert station in Lagos throughout the 1960s, one of only six on the entire continent alongside Nairobi, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Rabat, and Salisbury.
Source: https://t.co/AEX5CSi7Vn
And more recently, a retired CIA officer wrote, in her own published memoir "The Sisterhood," about running an agency operation out of Maiduguri during the Buhari years, dropped into the region alone with a hundred thousand dollars in agency cash, operating under NGO and aid cover while Boko Haram's ISWAP rebrand was underway. That's not a theory. That's a former officer confirming it herself in print.
Source: https://t.co/AeqEFdLqFj
That is a foreign intelligence service operating on our soil, funded, admitted, and documented.
5. Even our defense sector isn't fully ours anymore
Terra Industries, marketed to Nigerians as our homegrown defense tech success story, is backed by Palantir, a company whose software already runs inside the CIA, the Pentagon, and Israel's Ministry of Defence, and whose founder's network sits inside the current US administration.
Critics have said plainly that when your security infrastructure's biggest investor already serves two foreign militaries and an intelligence agency, the question of who Africa's defense systems ultimately answer to isn't paranoia, it's arithmetic.
Source: https://t.co/QVmDJguGoY
Palantir's pattern isn't unique to us either. It just won a £240 million no-bid enterprise deal with the UK Ministry of Defence after hiring four former MoD officials, and internal Pentagon memos this year proposed funneling it up to $244 million more without competitive bidding. This is a company that embeds itself inside a government's decision-making before it ever wins the contract. Now it's inside ours.

6. Even the "reintegration" of Boko Haram is a European grant program, and the money trail is the real story
This is happening right now. The EU has committed €731 million to Nigeria for 2021 to 2027, and a clause buried in that partnership explicitly funds the reintegration of former Boko Haram, ISWAP, and JNIM fighters back into communities in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa.
On top of that, the EU separately pledged €300 million for counter-extremism work, including a dedicated €20 million line and a €7.5 million "RAMPARTS" program specifically for reintegrating ex-Boko Haram members.
Sources: https://t.co/PsR93tOvUg
https://t.co/SHJkP5QRV9 https://t.co/LObVqDR0dj
Read that again. The men who killed our people, burned our villages, and orphaned over 50,000 children are being reintegrated with European grant money, delivered through NGOs and UN agencies as implementing partners, while the Senate itself, led by voices like Adams Oshiomhole, is on record rejecting the policy because it pardons killers while victims still suffer.
Source: https://t.co/CpE0BwTwuE
So here's my question for you directly.
Did you call out the government for quietly signing this. Did you call out the NGOs and UN agencies acting as implementing partners for this money.
Did you call out the banks and financial channels processing hundreds of millions of euros in grants that end up rehabilitating terrorists instead of compensating their victims. You didn't.
Not one post, not one word.
Of every foreign bank, NGO, foundation, intelligence agency, defense contractor, and now EU grant program on this list, funding either the terrorism or its "reintegration," name one you've ever said a single word about. You can't.
That's the whole point. You were never against foreign interference. You were only ever against Africans noticing it.
David is not your mate and you certainly do not operate with an IQ worthy of comprehension.
The next time you want to open your hole to speak, remember that there are people like me who do not let foolishness slide.
We will educate you by force.
Don't try this nonsense again.
Today we take a door to door campaign tours walk around garrison phone villages in port harcourt city, to introduce new NDC logo, just listened to people opinions.
