I encounter a lot of people that either think I'm pretending or have an ulterior motive. Because in their opinion, No "Pretty girl" is this nice and polite. In time, engaging with and meeting different people from this "generation", I see why they would think that. My opinion;
Did you know that nuclear technologies play a vital role in improving agricultural productivity, food security, and climate resilience across Africa?

All my life, I've only written exams in two languages - English and Yoruba.
I have just stepped out of an exam hall where I had to write it's entirety in Italian.
Pass rate for Indigenous Italians is 58%.
8 out of 10 immigrants fail.
I wrote on first trial and made 100%.

So let me that person. Hers a thread on HPV.
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. Not one of the most common, THE most common. Most sexually active people will get at least one strain of it in their lifetime.
And this right here is why Tinubu and the political establishment fear Peter Obi.
Peter Obi is the first politician in Nigeriaβs history whose supporters donβt care about politics.
To them, politics is a means to an end, and the person, party, or politics of Peter plays a pale to no part in their principled pledge to promote him.
We have identified the major problem of our nation not as competence, but character.
We have leaders who are morally and mentally bankrupt.
Morally, they would prefer to watch their society disintegrate as long as they are the exclusive beneficiaries of its commonwealth.
So, Tinubu can attend weddings, his son, Seyi, can wear a Richard Mille worth N346 million;
while Boko Haram cuts off the hand of a woman, slices an infant into two with a machete, and splits the head of her young child open with the same.
It is why Adelabu can confidently resign as Minister of Power to jubilantly go back to Oyo to contest for governorship, while plunging Africaβs biggest market into darkness.
This is the moral state of our leaders.
Then we have the mental dimension. I do not know which is worse.
You see, luxury and exclusivity are what we, as Africans, often consider the benchmark of status.
For an African to feel superior, they identify what they consider luxury and make it exclusive to themselves by denying others access to it.
Now, this might not be bad on its own. But it becomes a problem when an African leaderβs idea of luxury is shaped by a severely limited worldview.
This is the major source of our leadership problem in Nigeria.
We have leaders who consider the reality of having a 24-hour power supply a luxury. Therefore, they must make it exclusive.
That is why Adelabu increased the power tariff. He said Nigerians leave their fridges on.
You see, he considers that a luxury due to his impoverished mentality.
Now, he must make it exclusive to himself.
We have leaders who consider having a phone a luxury. I once heard that Saraki said, βSo my driver will have a phone?β in response to the idea that phones would be accessible to everyone.
Now, if he had the power, he would have made that exclusive by denying Nigerians that basic amenity.
And you may not believe it, but at a certain level, our leaders consider being able to eat three times a day a luxury.
That is why they hoarded COVID relief materials from the public, making them exclusive to themselves.
I could go on and on about how they treat international trips, vacations, good education, and healthcare as luxuries, thereby making them inaccessible to the masses and reserved only for themselves.
Peter Obi is not plagued by either of these two.
Morally, he is upright.
Mentally, he is far above and beyond them.
This man has served at the highest professional level.
He has led a bank.
He is a billionaire to whom money means little.
He does not consider basic things like vacations and cars as luxuries to hoard.
He believes everyone should live a good life, and that is why he has donated more than N300 million to health, far more than the N30 million from the government.
I said all that to say this is why we follow Peter Gregory Obi.
He does not own us. If he abandons his principles today, we will disappear as quickly as we gathered.
And what does that mean? It means Peter Obi has the strongest power a politician can have, the will of the people.
And that is why Tinubu is terrified of him.
Rightfully so.
