So ECOWAS knew that Nigeria's 2023 election was rigged, yet they still rewarded President Tinubu with the chairmanship of the organization?
Now they are talking.
Why now?
What has changed?
If you knew from the beginning that Nigeria's election was rigged, why did you immediately hand over the chairmanship of ECOWAS to the same person who emerged from that election?
Why keep quiet then, only to start speaking now?
Clowns.
I am Ekene Aninze, Esq.
Earlier today, I met with the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency Dr Richard Montgomery. We had a thoughtful discussion on the state of our democracy, the economy, the importance of strengthening our institutions, and the need to ensure that our elections remain free, fair, credible, and truly reflective of the will of the Nigerian people.
As Dr Montgomery prepares to conclude his diplomatic assignment in Nigeria next month, I thanked him for his service and for the role he has played in strengthening the longstanding relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom. His time in Nigeria has been marked by constructive engagement and support for our democratic and economic development.
I wished him well as he prepares for his next assignment and thanked him for the friendship and cooperation he has extended to Nigeria throughout his tenure. I look forward to seeing the strong relationship between our two countries continue to grow.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Let it be on record that the 3 most intelligent mathematicians on earth under 15yrs old are Igbo kids from southeast Nigeria.
Again, when e reach the turn of your region, encourage youths to fry akara or sponsor mass weddings & pilgrimage.
So if Alex Onyia didn’t decide to take these kids to Rome, you mean the world would not have seen us win gold?
Some other country would have won and we would have thought they were the brightest on earth?
Bad Governance is hiding the greatness of Nigerians.
I’ve said on previous tweets that Nigerians are the brightest and smartness people on earth. No enabling environment to showcase that brilliance.
Peter Obi asking Tinubu to resign or shelve his re-election bid over worsening insecurity — pain dem well well. Peter Obi stubborn gan.
While Aso Rock was still recovering from the rude shock, he fired another missile by intensifying calls for Tinubu’s resignation.
Now, the Presidency has activated an old warhorse. They are calling in all the favors.
A Boko Haram Grand Patron is making sense to bigots & e-rats because he attacked Peter Obi.
Anyone whose mishandling of Borno State is widely believed to have been the precursor to the rise of Boko Haram should not be given a platform to speak. He should be in jail, aiding or assisting the authorities in finally unmasking those financing the terrorism in Nigeria.
While at it, he should fix his teeth. I can recommend a great clinic for dentures.
The man whose case file is gathering dust in the EFCC has finally met his release clause.
The quasi-journalist with Channels TV talked about the kidnapping of schoolchildren & how Peter Obi asked Bola Tinubu to resign. But Ali Modu Sheriff was clever. He quickly changed the subject to Biafra & IPOB to rile up the base.
As usual, Seun Okinbaloye sat there, wearing his trademark aloof mask. Seun could not press Ali to answer the question. He cleverly avoided asking a follow-up question. When caught in the act, deflect & conflate the issues. Muddle everything up, just enough to make it stick.
He was comparing apples to oranges. It works all the time. All the terror financiers are uniting under one umbrella. Men who were cooped up before now, have found their voices under Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is calling in all the favors.
Ali Modu Sheriff is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I think it is actually helpful. It is almost self-fulfilling to see foundational members, alongside sponsors of terrorism & their Twitter vuvuzelas, push back against the one man — who is determined to take the fight to them.
Nigerians have subconsciously been expecting such behaviors to align with their assumptions.
The fear of Peter Obi is valid. Their paranoia is justified! PO is uncompromising. He has never hidden his insane desire to end the “Terrorism Industrial Complex in Nigeria” permanently.
Those who profit from terrorism are terrified.
The prospects of Peter Obi’s presidency are terrifying. The no-nonsense administrator is eager to make Nigeria work. If I were in their shoes, I’d be kicking as well. Who would not?
I watched with disappointment the recent interview granted by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to Channels Television on Monday.
After a prolonged absence from public discourse, one would have expected that time away might have sharpened Senator Sheriff’s judgment. Regrettably, that does not appear to be the case.
In the interview, the former governor claimed that Peter Obi cannot command sizeable support in Northern Nigeria. It is curious that he has appointed himself spokesperson for the Northern masses. For the record, in his first outing on the presidential ballot, Mr. Obi secured approximately 2.8 million votes in the region — a remarkable achievement that cannot be dismissed lightly.
Given the current national hardships, the widespread consensus on the failure of the APC administration, and the addition of a strong Northern figure to the ticket who previously garnered 1.45 million votes in the region, the OK ticket remains a formidable force in Northern politics.
Even more surprising was Senator Sheriff’s assertion that the people of Kano would not vote for Mr. Obi. Let me state clearly: the good people of Kano are neither bigoted nor xenophobic. They have consistently demonstrated strong trust in the Kwankwasiyya movement and will support any credible ticket presented under its banner.
I respectfully advise Senator Sheriff that, in future national television appearances, he would do better to speak to the serious insecurity and humanitarian challenges facing his home state, rather than making divisive and poorly considered remarks.
The OK ticket currently represents the best opportunity for Nigerians to reset the country and place it on a path of competence, unity, and progress. - RMK
Nigeria is wasting billions of $$$ on insecurity because of people like Ali Modu Sheriff from Borno. He has never condemned the activities of the Boko Haram. If Nigeria was working, Ali Sheriff would have been jailed a long time ago.
Hajiya Naja'atu Mohammed told us everything.
Femi Falana stated that Ali Modu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno State, founded Boko Haram. He was arrested in Cameroon over his links to the group, but the Nigerian government stepped in and negotiated his release. Falana challenged Sheriff to sue him if the claims are untrue.
While Peter Obi stopped in Nise to encourage citizens registering for their PVCs, something unforgettable happened.
A blind man in the crowd began calling out, “Where is Peter Obi?” Peter Obi walked over, held his hand, and said, “I am Peter Obi.”
The man replied, “I heard you were here, so I came. I need help. The place where people with disabilities were cared for during your time as governor has been taken from us. We have been left on our own.”
Peter Obi listened attentively, supported him with a token for his immediate welfare, and assured him the matter would receive attention.
This is why many people speak about the impact of Peter Obi’s leadership with conviction. For them, it isn’t propaganda or political rhetoric, it’s lived experience and visible even to the blind.
Good leadership is remembered long after a tenure ends. It is felt in the lives it touches, especially by the most vulnerable.
It is safe to say that under a Peter Obi presidency, people with disabilities would not be forgotten, but included, protected, and treated with dignity.

GIG Group was founded in 1998 by Mr. Edwin Ajaere, who hailed from Isu LGA, Imo State, as God Is Good Motors, with a vision to provide premium transport services across Nigerian cities.
In 2009, Edwin Ajaere was kidnapped and killed. His son, Chidi Ajaere, who was just 21 years old at the time, returned from the United States and took over the affairs of the company.
Since then, the company has transformed into a leading technology-driven logistics conglomerate, with interests spanning multiple sectors of the Nigerian economy.
They raised a great son. Chidi Ajaere is doing wonders and transforming logistics across Nigeria.
The GIG we see all over Nigeria today is largely the handiwork of the brilliant Chidi Ajaere. His parents would undoubtedly be proud of him.
With aspirations of becoming one of Nigeria's top-ranked conglomerates, the company aims to be a propeller of progress in every facet of life.
Chidiebere Ajaere has successfully expanded the horizons of GIG Group, leading to the birth of several subsidiaries, including:
• GIG Logistics (deliveries to the US, UK, China and West Africa)
• GIG Motors
• Ziuss Energy (Oil & Gas)
• Stellas Banking & Finance
• RichmondHill Real Estate & Property
• GIG Aviation, the latest subsidiary, following the acquisition of two ATR72 cargo aircraft for logistics services.
Today, GIG Group is a conglomerate with over 5,000 employees.
A remarkable Igbo success story.
The last speaker has native intelligence. She hit the nail on the head. The government should study how OBJ succeeded in lifting millions of poor Nigerians into the middle class. Tokenism has ended since the Stone Age.
Suddenly, pseudo intellectuals are pushing the dubious narrative that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are sustainable means of livelihood.
How about groundnut and sachet water business? They should include them too.
The defenders of this wicked regime are telling us that Remi Tinubu has donated billions of Naira to NGOs.
First, they should tell us where she got such money from.
Second, they should provide the names and locations of the benefiting NGOs, and verifiable evidence that the donations have been properly utilized.
The advocates of akara economy should set up this business for their siblings and family members to demonstrate the efficacy of their postulations.
Since your mother sold akara to train you, why haven’t you opened akara factory for your wife, daughters, sons and political associates to promote and sustain your mother’s entrepreneurial legacy?
With the collapse of public education, how many akara sellers in this country currently can afford to pay their children’s tuition in private schools?
How many akara sellers can pay the rising costs of tertiary education and healthcare?
How many akara sellers can afford to pay the rising rents in Nigeria today?
How many akara will one sell to be able to buy fuel?
If akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are viable and sustainable microeconomic investments in Tinubu’s Nigeria, let the defenders of Tinubu show us members of their families that are engaged in this enterprise.
The point is not that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli aren’t necessary foods, the point is that we are all witnesses to how the Tinubu family has amassed wealth and captured state power to entrench and further their selfish and greedy ambitions.
We have seen the insane convoy of Remi Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu and their benefactor in Aso Rock.
It is deceitful and disrespectful for the same family that is living in opulence, amidst the ravaging and dangerous hunger in the country, to be pushing akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli economy.
Bola Tinubu’s regime has been a wasteful and disastrous experiment.
We have seen how he is destroying our economy. But his annoying and power monger wife feels she can lecture the victims of their misrule and incompetence about the viability of the akara economy.
Enough of the silly expositions.
Rufai Oseni went hard on Bayo Onanuga and the Presidency on Arise News this morning.
Was the APC also being childish when it called for Goodluck Jonathan’s resignation? Was the APC childish when it pushed for a parallel government during Jonathan’s administration?
To @officialABAT
Resign & tender your unreserved apology to Nigerians for the millions of lives you destroyed. For the thousands of lives we lost, & for the thousands of people still in captivity. All you brought was pain, poverty & trepidation. THE DAMAGE WILL TAKE 50 YEARS TO REPAIR! 💔
SOWORE BEING SENT TO PRISON: A DANGEROUS REGRESSION FOR OUR DEMOCRACY
I have received, with deep concern, the news of the court’s remand of citizen activist Omoyele Sowore in Kuje Prison.
While the judiciary remains the ultimate arbiter of justice, we must consistently guard against any trend that gives the appearance of state institutions being weaponised to systematically stifle dissent, muzzle the press, or shrink the legitimate space for civic engagement in Nigeria.
A thriving democracy does not survive on the silencing of opposing voices; rather, it is anchored on the robust protection of fundamental human rights, most notably the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly, as enshrined in our Constitution. Moreover, our society is already strained by insecurity and biting economic hardship; therefore, deliberate steps should be taken, even by the courts, to avoid inflaming the situation.
When we begin to treat citizen critics, activists, and journalists as threats to state survival rather than as partners in building accountability, we signal a dangerous slide toward authoritarianism. Our current challenges, ranging from economic strain to internal security vulnerabilities, require inclusive dialogue and cohesive nation-building, not the incarceration of those who demand a better society.
I urge the relevant authorities to ensure that the rule of law is strictly adhered to, that Mr. Sowore’s constitutional rights are fully protected, and that our security and judicial institutions are used solely for the impartial administration of justice. We cannot build a New Nigeria if we continue to undermine the very democratic structures meant to protect us all. -PO
Kenneth Okonkwo said if OBIdients insults him on social media, that he will release dossier that will end Peter Obi's political carrier.
Obidients amplified the insult, as though that wasn't enough. Mr. Obi himself went to Rufai Oseni's podcast and asked Kenneth Okonkwo to release any record he had about him, even from primary school.
He also went further to say that if anyone could bring out any evidence of corruption against him, he would stop campaigning. That's audacity!
That's why many of us support him blindly.
