The Ibos in Lagos hangout is deaaad, now is the best time to make a statement about it.
Last year, a lot of Yorùbás attended the event making it colourful and remarkable but what did they get in return?
Insults, you called them beggars etc.
What about now? 😂
FACTS ARE STUBBORN.
You don’t have to love the President, just love your country.
A Kenyan analyst compared Nigeria and Kenya with hard data from 2023 till date.
Foreigners are seeing the massive impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but Nigerians are being blinded by inherited hatred.
Being Yorùbá is a blessing — a heritage rich in culture, wisdom, language, and pride.
No matter where we are in the world, our roots always remind us of who we are. 🤎
When the contract comes, think Yoruba first. When you are hiring, think Yoruba first. When you are recommending, think Yoruba first. Every other group does this without apology. It is not tribalism. It is strategy. Involve your people when the door opens. Aku Ojúmọ́
“Drilling has begun in Eba, and Ogun State is on track to become an oil-producing state under my administration.”
Governor Dapo Abiodun expressed confidence in the state’s journey toward oil production.
Dear Chinedu @GRVlagos
I have no interest in descending into the mudslinging and distractions you appear to thrive on. My focus remains on the important work before us - supporting the efforts of the Lagos State Government to ensure the safety, well-being, and prosperity of Lagosians.
If being committed to public service, good governance, and the protection of the interests and heritage of Lagosians is what you choose to describe as bigotry, then I make no apologies for standing firmly by those principles. Public service is not a tea party - but how can you know what it entails? Nemo dat quod non habet.
For the sake of clarity, I would advise you, in your saner moments, to acquaint yourself with my record in public service - from my appointment as Special Adviser on Education to Mr. Governor in 2019 to my present tour of duty at the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources. The record is public, and it speaks for itself.
As for the labels and accusations, I will leave others to judge them on their merits. I have no intention of engaging in personal attacks or trading insults with a political nomad driven by ignorance and needless hatred.
I wish you all the best.

Nigeria's foreign reserves rose to $51.04 billion on June 18, the highest level in 17 years. In January 2009, the reserves stood at $50.5 billion. This is the good news Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar and other presidential candidates don't want to hear. As far as they are concerned, President Tinubu has done nothing since he came to office. Yet stubborn facts of the administration's solid achievements keep hitting them in the face.
The public is hereby informed that the 2026 Agemo Festival will hold on July 4–5 in Imosan-Ijẹ̀bú, with traditional processions from various communities.
Members of the public are encouraged to plan accordingly and observe all cultural guidelines.
Some of you tagged Lagos state as “No Man’s Land.” You are now gaslighting by calling it “a cosmopolitan state.” From this, you seem to think you should coin the phrase “Lagos Igbo.”
There is no established ethnic group called “Lagos Igbo.” You may have “Delta Igbo” (the Igbo speaking communities in Delta State), but “Lagos Igbo” (the Igbo speaking communities in Lagos) has never been a thing here, can never be a thing, will never be a thing.
We will continue to correct this intuition. We only have Igbo residents in Lagos.
Saying you will generate, transmit and distribute 10k MW of electricity in 4 years is a lot of commitment. The sort that’d cost you upwards of $30b. That you saw it in Egypt and Indonesia won’t make it cheaper. If it did, I saw it in Germany in 2016, it still isn’t cheaper.
When you are asked how? The answer cannot be “just trust me”. This is not, “I love you. I’ll be there for you” stuff. Even that comes at a cost. Love isn’t free.
In separate interviews with Seun Okinbaloye and Rufai Oseni, @PeterObi has refused to answer how.
Because he doesn’t know how. And if he ever does learn how, he still won’t admit what it would take to get those 10k MW into homes. He doesn’t have it in him to utter uncomfortable truths.
His entire political identity since The Platform platformed him is governance as goody-goody. Governance without cost. Governance without painful decisions. Politics of Lamba. Governance of castles in the sky. The governance he couldn’t practise as governor. Because it doesn’t exist.
