@DavidHundeyin With this logic, in future, assuming Peter Obi never becomes president, Nigerians and Igbos will ask, what did he do for the country? And that at least Tinubu was a tribalist and empowered Yorubas. Be careful when you review history to suit your narrative.

[Justice @JustFairLove]

@DavidHundeyin At least Zik had the foresight that education was the only way for Africans to realise themselves in the world. He built the University of Nigeria (with the motto: To Restore the Dignity of Man) and had its opening coincide with Nigeria's independence. Respects to him.

Taking Rights Seriously in Nigeria

In case you are still confused about my presentation that every Nigerian has equal rights everywhere, then listen to this. Logic is simple if you do not bury your head in sentiments

[Justice @JustFairLove]

@SamAmadi There has to be some dose of stupidity in the water some Nigerians drink. Who says u must vote for some1 who does not embody your parochial bigoted view. Every Nigerian of age has the right to run for office in any part of Nigeria. If you don't like it, change the constitution.

Nigel Farage plays the victim once again over the undisclosed £5m ‘gift’ by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
If there is nothing to hide why is he bothered that it has been released and why take legal advice to avoid declaring it?

@theodasss_ @FinPlanKaluAja1 That someone or a people is hated by many does not simply imply they're evil. There are many reasons for hate, some for good reasons, sometimes based on ill reasons.
In Africa and beyond, you're bound to hear about Nigerians because of their sheer number scattered all over.

[Justice @JustFairLove]

@theodasss_ @FinPlanKaluAja1 Can you provide official statistics of how Nigerians constitute the majority of the SA drug bursts?
You have also mentioned a particular Nigerian ethnic group in that regard. Can you provide some official statistics backing up your assertion?

[Justice @JustFairLove]

@theodasss_ @FinPlanKaluAja1 Is that what Nigerians did to SA?
So, no indigenous South African has been arrested by the Interpol for fraud before?
Meanwhile, I'm not in any way sympathetic to crime or trying to downplay its impact.

[Justice @JustFairLove]

@theodasss_ @FinPlanKaluAja1 You seem to have deflected from my question.
I'm curious to learn from you.

[Justice @JustFairLove]

@theodasss_ @FinPlanKaluAja1 Could you explain what exactly Nigerians did to South Africans?

PVC is the bridge to a New Nigeria

Today, I want to plead with every Nigerian, young and old to heed this call to action.

The future of our dear nation is in your hands. The greatest strength of democracy is in the voter’s card. Your PVC is the voice of the voiceless, the shield of the weak, and the weapon of the poor for a better life, against injustice and bad leadership. I appeal to every Nigerian: Get Organised and Make Election Rigging Difficult. Go out, register, collect your PVC, and hold it firmly as your bridge to a new Nigeria.

Let us know this: those who buy votes are not offering you charity; they only invest in their own corruption. They buy votes so that they can buy their way into our treasury to steal public money. When they get into that office, they will loot the funds that should have been used to build schools, hospitals or provide good jobs. Such people are not leaders, they are criminals in disguise. They are no better than killers, armed robbers, and kidnappers, because they commit the same crime of destruction.

To those who sell their votes, you are not just selling an election, you are selling the very opportunities that would have lifted you and your family out of poverty. You are selling the schools that your children should have attended, the hospitals that should save your loved ones and the jobs that would have given you dignity and a better life. Those who buy your vote are only buying it to make a profit from the seat of power, not to serve you.

The power to change this country is in your hands, the looters will only loot when we give them the opportunity. Your vote counts, if it doesn’t, they would not be desperately buying that vote.

Every Nigerian must rise and take responsibility for building the nation we dream of.

Our democracy is at stake. That is why I urge every eligible Nigerian to register, collect, and safeguard your PVC, and when the time comes, use it wisely. Vote for leaders of competence, character, capacity, and compassion. Leaders who will put you first. Do not be intimidated, do not be deceived, and do not be bought.

Let us stand together and prove that Nigeria belongs to the people, not to those who trade our future for their selfish gain.

Register to vote, because a new Nigeria starts with you.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

I have consistently maintained that our underdevelopment is due to Leadership failure.

It is heartbreaking that our President, who is the leader of a country with the highest number of out of school children in the world and with the students in the capital of his own nation Abuja presently not attending schools, would travel to St. Lucia and offer scholarships to children there, while his own country’s education system is in ruins, and even currently his nation’s capital, the Federal Capital Territory, the supposed seat of governance, have public schools shut down and closed for months.

This is not leadership, it is negligence at its peak. It is an act of betrayal against the Nigerian child.

Nigeria has approximately 20 million children out of school, according to UNICEF, the highest number globally, with a literacy rate of under 60% far below the global average of 87%. Similarly, the life expectancy stands at a mere 54 years, out of the global average measurement of above 70 years, one of the lowest in the world.

On Human Development Index (HDI), which is the most critical measure of development, Nigeria is ranked in the "Low Category" at 161 out of 193 countries measured, while St. Lucia, a Caribbean nation, has a literacy rate of over 90% which is above the global average of 87%.

In life expectancy of more than 72 years, which is within the global average.

On HDI which Nigeria is in the Low category, they air in the "High Category"

So tell me, what sense does it make that a president of a country with such terrible and dire statistics would travel to a country with better indexes of development especially in education and still offer them scholarships funded by Nigerian taxpayers when Nigeria children are largely out of school and the teachers not yet paid for months?

Mr. President, by offering St Lucia students a scholarship, shows he knows how important education is, while depriving Nigerian students of the same access to education.

We must, as a nation, reject these continued normalisations of misplaced priorities and build a better nation for us and our children.

Any society where lawlessness overrides the rule of law is not destined to be a haven for investors. Recent reports showing that Nigeria’s human rights indicators have worsened merely highlight severe shortfalls in government protection for civil liberties, personal security, and basic living standards.

I know what I have been going through as a person in abuse of my human rights just because I contested a Presidential election which I have legitimate rights to do. So I imagine what small business owners, regular citizens, and vulnerable communities face every day. If this level of lawlessness can happen to someone with a registered company and legitimate means, what hope does the ordinary Nigerian have?

This morning, my youngest brother called me frantically, informing me that a group of people had invaded his company property in Ikeja, Lagos, and were demolishing the building. He had just come in from Port Harcourt and was denied entry to the property by security men who told him the building was being pulled down. They even informed him that this demolition had started over the weekend. As a peace-loving Nigerian, he quickly started processing to go to court immediately, not knowing what must have resulted in this, as they moved fast to destroy his home without any restraint.

I rushed to Lagos from Abuja after the call this morning and headed straight to the property. On arrival, I was met by security people who tried to bar me from entering the property. I humbly pleaded with them that the property belonged to my brother’s company, and from the records, the company had owned the property for over a decade. They told me they had a court judgment, and I immediately requested it. You would not believe that the court judgment they claim was issued against an unknown person, and squatters. I went further to ask about a demolition order or permit, and there was none.

How do you sue an unknown person? How does a court issue a judgment in such a farce of a case? No one was served. No name was written. Yet they showed up with excavators and began destroying a structure that had stood for over 15 years.

I immediately asked the excavators for the person who had sent them, and they said they didn’t know anyone, but they were only informed to come and demolish the house. I immediately told them to tell whoever it is that I would like to speak with them, if they can call my number, which I shared with the excavators, so that I can speak with whomever gave them the order to demolish the property.
I stood there from 10am to 2pm, waiting to get a call at least and nobody called or came. The contractor even said he didn’t know who sent him. Two men later came and said they would like us to go to a police station. I asked if they even had a demolition order but they had nothing. The whole situation screamed of coordinated lawlessness and impunity. Our country has become lawless.

I just started reminiscing about how just over the weekend, I had a meeting when someone told me how he has investments in Ghana, Senegal, and the Benin Republic, but won’t touch Nigeria despite his market being here. I asked him why. His answer was piercing: “Nigeria is a lawless country. Until we have laws that protect people, nobody will invest in Nigeria.”

I am just shocked. How did Nigeria get to this level of lawlessness?
What kind of country are we trying to build when the rights of citizens, their lives, their properties, and their voices are trampled upon daily?

I remain committed to a better Nigeria where lawlessness will be a thing of the past, protection of life and property, respect for human rights, care for the less privileged, and basic education for all children.

What has happened to our compassion as a People ?

We pleaded that the President should show Leadership and visit Benue and Niger States in the spirit of deep national mourning, to offer compassion and solidarity to families torn apart by the senseless massacre of over 200 innocent Nigerians in Benue State and flooding that killed similar number in Niger State.

But what we saw in Benue visit was instead of a solemn, reflective visit, a display that would have been more befitting for the commissioning of reconstructed Enugu-Makurdi highway, a critical road connecting South and Northern Nigeria which had become impassable for years.

The President arrived not in mourning cloth but in celebratory agbada attire, like it was an occasion for joy.

Even more heartbreaking is the role of the State. Rather than been in mourning mood and weeping declared a public holiday, not for reflection or prayer, but to organize fanfare. Schools were shut down. Children who should be mourning their slaughtered classmates, and parents were instead lined up under the rain, rehearsed to sing and dance for the President. In what kind of country does this happen?

We have tragically arrived at a point where condolence visits have become carnivals. A time that should be marked by silence and solemnity is now polluted by banners, music, and rehearsed spectacles. Precious Nigerian lives have been lost, yet we’re clapping, singing, and organizing processions, as though this were a campaign rally.

This is not how any compassionate nation behaves. The energy, resources, and logistics poured into this charade could have gone into food supplies, temporary shelters, medical aid, school support, and trauma counselling for grieving families. Instead, we chose optics over empathy.

Look elsewhere: When President Ramaphosa visited Mthatha after the floods in South Africa, there were no drums. No staged crowds. No rented cheers. Just presence, silence, and action. When Prime Minister Modi went to the site of a crash, no one lined up to welcome him. He came, he mourned, he acted. That is what leadership looks like in moments of pain.

We must ask ourselves: What kind of people have we become?

Enough of this culture of impunity. We are not at war yet our nation is bleeding, and we are clapping. It is not only insensitive, it is dangerous.

Let us not forget: These were human beings, children, mothers, fathers whose blood cries out for justice.

When very sad incidents like this turns to campaign or festival, our Nation Losing Its Soul.

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

Doyin Okupe left. He didn't leave without a fight. He had to go on Channels TV to drag Peter Obi. Isaac Balami left. He didn't leave quietly. He had to throw punches atOkupe's funeral. Then it got to your turn, & you had to drag the entire SW into your personal vendetta.

Yours I’ll take personal. Why? "Because you are the one I had maintained was a mole from the start." We saw worse than this in 2022/2023.

There was no tactics we didn’t see, no antics we didn’t experience. Still, we won. But Bola Tinubu had other ideas. He did the most unthinkable. He bought INEC & the Judiciary.

Then he found additional change to buy the elders as well. Balami left, Okupe did, now you. But Peter Obi will always have millions in his corner. The Obidient Movement will continue to trudge on. You were never there when it all started. You didn’t start the movement, Nigerians (of immense goodwill did).

It all started here on Twitter. At first, it was Chude. Then there was Jack. I came along, & we became a triumvirate so close to greatness.

You know what that means? It says that Peter is incredible, we all are running through him.

No one is stopping you from leaving, & no one will notice if you leave. But leave quietly; do not make it about you. You didn’t leave because of what random folks did/said online; that’s a lie.

You left because it was your personal decision.

Don’t insult anybody, we are not the reason for your bitterness. None of us is paid to support. We are the future leaders you haven’t met.

Agbados have done & said worst things, still do. They attacked people who look a certain way in Lagos (at the polls). They attack even their own blood for choosing to support Peter Obi.

In 2011, Buharists attacked & killed many across the North. We saw the blood of baboon soak the streets. Yet, the Obidients have no single bone of violence in us. We remain calm, despite the provocation. But we are no Stoic, don’t take out inaction as cowardice.

You left not because Peter Obi is incompetent, neither did you leave because of what he said. You left because that’s your prerogative, & rightfully so. But some of you won’t leave quietly. You wanna make some noise & create quiet a buzz. You wanna rave mad (before & after you leave). The Obidients are no Stoic, we will match the energy. The same privilege you enjoyed can/will always be taken away.

Why? Because none of us were recruited by Peter. We joined because we want a New Nigeria that is POssible. It's a powerful dream, the noblest of idea; there is nothing better than that. You only need whisper it, & it'll come alive.

“He can’t win 2027!
2027 is now different!
He is no longer popular!
He has lost his voting bloc!
He succeeded because of sympathy votes.”

Do not arrogate to yourself, the powers you don’t have. The Obidients were here before you joined. We will be here long after you are gone. And when the time comes, we shall know who is who. A New Nigeria is Alive & POssible. 💪
