I wonder why you have to bring in Igbos and Peter Obi. Igbos are not the ones whose villages are being over run by Fulani militia. If you think it's not true that Christians are being killed, you should ask people from Plateau, Benue, Taraba, even Southern KD whose people have been slaughtered enmass and their lands taken over. We should try and at least be humane for one.
Now that @POTUS has declared Nigeria as CPC. The only people celebrating are the Ibos.
What this means to them is that PETER Obi will take over from Tinubu 😃😃😃😃
@carchy_iamazeme@cchukudebelu That’s exactly what he said. Hoping the assassin is not from Utah. I don’t know why people will just take someone’s speech out of context just to justify their position
How I Brokered The 2022 Meeting Between Peter Obi And Deji Adeyanju, And Why Deji’s Fallacy On Obi Cannot Stand.
~ By a distinguished journalist, columnist and author, IKE ABONYI, a former Group Political Editor and News Editor of THISDAY Newspapers, and pioneer Deputy Managing Director of New Telegraph Newspapers.
It would be unfair to my conscience as a Christian and a journalist to allow Deji Adeyanju to continue with his false narrative in the name of activism on Peter Obi.
Sometime in July 2022, ahead of the 2023 general election, and Peter Obi had picked the Labour Party (LP) Presidential ticket, Adeyanju was one of his ardent supporters and was contemplating running under the Labour Party for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) seat in the House of Representatives.
As a friend of Deji and Obi, I decided to broker a meeting as I was contemplating Deji getting a waiver to pick the House of Reps ticket.
Nigerians have started deflating and pointing accusing fingers to USAID without acknowledging that it’s impossible for the sponsorship to succeed with internal corroborators. We easily forgot real beneficiaries of that are politicians in APC and are still in power.
Some Unknown Facts- you can read the rest in the Wired article and the NPR story.
The DSS was involved in the House of Representatives matter. We met with them at their office on Friday, January 5, 2024, as a prerequisite to our meeting with the House of Representatives. They alluded to the fact that we had to comply with whatever the House members instructed us to do.
At the House meeting, there were three members present. Two of them were Peter Akpanke and Philip Agbese, both working under the leadership of Ginger Obinna Onwusibe. There was a third House member, but I don’t recall his name. They set up fake cameras and media to make the meeting appear official, but the cameras weren’t even plugged in. As you may already know, this ended with them asking for a $150 million bribe, paid in cryptocurrency into their personal wallets. A Mickey Mouse operation at its best.
@NuhuRibadu invited us to the official meeting and worked through Sa'ad Abubakar. Another key figure in this situation was Hamma Adama Belloji. Ogunjobi was just a pawn; they used him too. This was a sold as a friendly meeting with the NSA, the head of the SEC, and the CBN governor and include the discussion of the bribe that was solicited by the house of representatives.
The $26 billion figure they kept pushing publicly as some mystery money escaping Nigeria is complete BS. This information was provided in response to their request and was simply cumulative trade data for Nigerians on the platform. This money didn’t leave Nigeria—it was just people buying and selling crypto. For example, if you trade $100 a hundred times, that’s $10,000 in trade volume, but in reality, you only used $100. Again, just another example of them lying to cover up their BS investigation.
They lied about Nadeem escaping during mosque prayers. In reality, he returned and escaped afterward. I don’t know exactly how he managed to flee. He emailed me in November, but we haven’t discussed the details of his escape. It’s possible he paid someone off, but I have no proof. If Belloji had simply checked his passport for a visa, he would have realized that Nadeem did not use that passport to travel to Nigeria.
They sent a letter to the U.S. Embassy and the British High Commission, falsely claiming that we were voluntarily participating in strategic talks. This was a blatant lie.
Nadeem did not escape lawful detention—we were being held illegally. Belloji even admitted that he would fabricate evidence to obtain a court order to detain us for 14 days. Once the court order expired, they were unable to get an extension from the judge. At that point, they continued holding us illegally and had no justification for doing so.
There was a lot of noise about using Interpol to capture Nadeem. As someone who has been involved in multiple extradition cases, I can confidently say this was a joke. Extradition is a lengthy legal process, and no rational judge in Kenya or wherever would ever approve extradition for someone who escaped illegal detention at the hands of rogue law enforcement—especially when that detention involved holding employees hostage to pressure their employer. All noise.
They tried to use us to violate international privacy laws by demanding user data on all Nigerians to target opposition members allegedly "manipulating the price of the naira." However, they all knew that the naira’s devaluation was a direct result of Tinubu's monetary policy, which depegged the naira from the dollar. I’m not saying this policy decision was wrong, but everyone understood that removing government intervention would lead to extreme devaluation. Instead of acknowledging this, they used Binance as a scapegoat.

@ARISEtv Why won't the grid collapse when funds that supposed to be used for maintenance and upgrades are diverted to private pockets. The more tarrif increase, the more collapse you get. Only in Nigeria
@FinPlanKaluAja1 CNG car is not safe for an environment like Nigeria where safety is not a priority. Even USA with all their safety mindset are not using CNG cars except for trucks and Amazon delivery Vans.
@GazetteNGR So Musa knows Turji personally to the extent of knowing he’s in a panic state. Another means to bamboozle T pain and get more money from FG
