I don’t know why people forget I am still a surgeon, since I got the NDC House of Representative ticket for Surulere 1. People call me Honorable and have removed the surgeon from my name, anyway Saturday I had endoscopic sinus surgery by 7am and by evening I became a politician
THE BEST AND MOST DETAILED DOCUMENTARY ON TINUBU'S FAILURE... This girl really took her time to compile Tinubu's propagandas and shortcomings. Retweet massively till it gets to the Jagabandits abeg.
Supporting bad governance because it benefits you today is a dangerous gamble.
Many think they can dine with the devil using a long spoon. Sooner or later, the spoon disappears, and they realise they were never exempt from the consequences.
A broken system eventually serves everyone the same meal.
To @SecRubio:
PLEASE REPOST.
@PeterObi is the best candidate for president of Nigeria, but he is destined to lose to the orrupt Tinubu unless the voting system is reformed from violence and corruption to free and fair elections. Will you enact diplomacy to help? cc: @WhiteHouse
There is a massive difference between providing functional tools of office and buying multi-million naira luxury toys. When Obi was governor, the vehicles distributed to magistrates and local government workers were standard, entry-level, non-luxury sedans and utility vehicles like Honda Accords and Peugeots. He didn't buy top-of-the-range, foreign-imported luxury SUVs costing ₦160 million per unit for lawmakers who already earn millions in allowances. Obi bought basic tools to make civil servants and judges mobile, the present administration buys hyper-luxury assets to pamper politicians.
Daniel you claim Obi didn't practice what he preaches regarding local production. This is factually incorrect. Peter Obi’s administration was the primary foundational patron of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM). His government bought thousands of vehicles, including security patrol trucks, school buses, and utility vans, directly from Innoson’s factory in Nnewi to build the local economy. I was a UNIZIK student at the time and can tell you about his administration 💯. When he couldn't source a specific sedan locally at that time, he chose mid-tier, cost-effective options, completely contrasting with the current NASS members who actively rejected local manufacturers like Innoson to import luxury foreign SUVs.
Wike is being called out because using the executive arm's budget to build personal real estate houses for federal judges creates an immediate, highly compromised conflict of interest. When Obi built courtrooms, magistrate offices, and official institutional quarters, they were built as permanent, non-transferable state infrastructure assets belonging to the Anambra State Judiciary, not private gifts handed over to individual judges to buy their loyalty.
Obi executed his institutional procurement while keeping Anambra State completely out of debt, ultimately handing over ₦75 billion in cash and savings to his successor. The present administration is indulging in hyper-luxury spending while running a ₦68.32 trillion budget deficit and blowing $11.6 billion on debt interest alone this year.
You cannot compare a manager who saves money while buying basic office tools for his staff to a reckless spender who borrows billions to buy exotic toys for a political class while the population starves under 40% inflation.
State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation.
During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology:
Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved.
The list of the entourage included
1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States
2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State
3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence
4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX
5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia
6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple
7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock
8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone
9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing
10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill
11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup
12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric
13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs
14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology
15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm
16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta
17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa
18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard
19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent
20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina
That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity.
I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom.
A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home?
Which factories are coming to Nigeria?
What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured?
How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths?
What investments were attracted?
What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to?
The delegation reportedly included:
1. President Bola Tinubu
2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu
3.12 governors
4.9 ministers
5.7 members of the National Assembly
6. Over 20 senior State House staff
7. Over 30 security personnel
8. Over 10 domestic staff
9. Several supporters and associates
It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens.
Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty.
At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities.
Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change
I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey.
I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built.
Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people.
Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so.
Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment.
Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty.
The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character?
Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest.
Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.
@FoxNews You are invited to cover this Congressional briefing on the escalating Christian Genocide and renewed Terrorist offense against civilians since the Christmas Day Bombing
Happy New Month, Nigeria! As we welcome March, let's look forward to a brighter future. With 2027 just around the corner, let's unite for a Nigeria that works for all. Wishing you a month filled with hope, progress, and leadership that inspires.
May our nation thrive! #Nigeria2027

Press Release: Congressman Riley M. Moore Presents Official Report to the White House with Solutions to End Christian Persecution in Nigeria
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Riley M. Moore joined members of the House Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Affairs at the White House to formally present the comprehensive report outlining concrete actions to end the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and counter growing extremist violence in the region.
The meeting follows President Trump’s redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) on October 31, 2025. President Trump requested Congressman Moore and Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole to lead a comprehensive investigation on the persecution against Christian communities and security challenges plaguing Nigeria. This report is the result of months of investigation, including a bipartisan congressional fact-finding trip to Nigeria, hearings with expert witnesses, consultations with religious leaders, meetings with Internally Displaced Persons, and engagement with senior Nigerian government officials.
The official report outlines several key recommendations, including:
- Establishing a bilateral U.S.–Nigeria security agreement to protect vulnerable Christian communities and dismantle jihadist networks.
- Withholding certain U.S. funds, pending demonstrable action by the Nigerian government to stop violence against Christians.
- Implementing sanctions and visa restrictions against individuals and groups responsible for or complicit in religious persecution.
- Providing technical support to the Nigerian government to eliminate violence from armed Fulani militias.
- Demanding the repeal of Sharia and blasphemy laws
- Working with international partners including France, Hungary, and the United Kingdom
Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement:
“Following today’s productive meeting at the White House, I want to thank President Trump for redesignating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and for his Administration’s commitment to protecting our brothers and sisters in Christ from persecution and addressing the broader security challenges plaguing Nigeria. Since President Trump redesignated Nigeria as a CPC and tasked me to lead a Congressional investigation, I have worked diligently with my colleagues to produce the report we presented today. I also want to thank House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, Vice Chair Mario Diaz-Balart, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast and Congressman Chris Smith for their leadership on this comprehensive investigation and delivering this report to the White House.
I traveled on a bipartisan delegation to Nigeria and saw with my own eyes the horrific atrocities Christians face, and the instability the Nigerian government must combat. Through Congressional hearings, expert testimony, meeting with Internally Displaced People, hearing from religious leaders, and engaging with high-level Nigerian government officials, we have provided a clear picture of the threat environment in Nigeria and the horrific persecution Christians face. This report outlines concrete steps to impose accountability measures, counter radical Islamic terrorism, and lays out a plan to work in coordination and cooperation with the Nigerian government to bring security to all the people of Nigeria.
Our brothers and sisters in Christ have suffered in silence for too long. The world is now watching, and I urge the Nigerian government to take the opportunity to deepen and strengthen its relationship with the United States. Doing so is in the interest of both our great nations. Together, we must address these pressing security challenges and bring an end to violence against Christians.”
