Death sentence for anyone proven to be a kidnapper. Death sentence! That’s the tweet. Execute those heartless fools.
We demand death sentence for kidnappers. Enough is enough!
My dear Peter Obi,
Here’s the unvarnished truth which no one else will tell you.
Nigeria is not ready for someone like to lead. Not at the moment. The citizens that you care so much about, are not ready to be led. Not yet.
You have shown that you have the best interest of the country at heart. You have tried your best. I urge you now to go about your business and promptly forget about this ghastly business of trying to rescue Nigeria.
You risk losing yourself in the process.
Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Love PO and really wanted him to become president. But hear me when I say this: 2023 was the closest he will come to fulfilling that dream. That's it. It is not just that Nigeria is not ready for an Igbo president, Nigerians are also not serious about good governance.
P.O should forget about the desire to lead. He will be okay. His family will be okay. There's no point wearing himself out on this futile journey.
Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso have made up their minds to defect from ADC to NDC in the coming days.
As mentioned earlier today, Peter Obi realized he has no chance to defeat Atiku in an open primaries in ADC.
He’ll be handed over the Presidential ticket of NDC unanimously by stakeholders of the party and he’ll pick Kwankwanso as his running mate.
@Daniel_chukw@BOTAD01 King Manasseh, you mean. Even Rehoboam, Solomon’s son was worse than Solomon. Solomon heavily taxed Israelites but was nothing compared to what Rehoboam did. All the kings pale in comparison with Manasseh though. He was the worst king that ruled in the Bible.
Like I have always maintained, this administration made good strides with the tough calls they made on FX and subsidy reforms. But it seems to me they did all that just to embezzle the funds away.
Sanusi asks a very valid question. Where is the fiscal consolidation? Why are we still borrowing?

What you said is averse to what I alluded to. No one said she should not speak up. She already did. What I said was that she should have stopped at expressing the concern. The reason why she was served papers was because she went ahead to allege that the bread contains harmful substance, without providing evidence to back that up. Merely stating that the bread has stayed fresh for 2 months, is not a tenable evidence. Guys, this is law and not emotions! Get over yourselves!
@ctsar_ct@ChukwudiClems@TheworldNewNow@UchePOkoye Blocked! A muppet like you has no place in this kind of conversation. The whole logic flew over your miserable slow wit self. Fuck outta mentions!
I think you are the one who is retarded bro, if you cannot read to understand a logical statement. No one is arguing with you about the bread lasting for weeks without fungi or 'mucus' (whatever that means), you dumb head. The crux is whether she has evidence to back up her claims legally that whatever was used to produce the bread is harmful to health. Full stop. If you can answer that question in the affirmative based on the video that was shared, then I will withdraw my comment and apologize. If you cannot, then get the fuck out of my mentions dimwit.
If the video doesn't show lab results, regulatory findings, or expert testimony confirming the ingredient is harmful, the claim doesn't hold legally or scientifically and she will be liable for legal actions.
Not sure why they’re attacking you but you are quite right. She should have stopped at ‘expressing her concerns’ around the observation. She has not done any chemical analysis to prove that the bread contains harmful substance.
But then again, there is no way an observer can identify the manufacturer of the bread, so I’m not sure how the company that served her papers knew conclusively that it was their bread that is being berated here.
