Today, I found meaning in my profession.

A guy falsely accused of rape & who has been in jail since 2019 because he couldn't afford a lawyer was represented pro bono by our law firm. I had the privilege of writing the final address.

Today, the Court has set him free. 🕺

@_fiolaa_ @JTisFiguringIt @Leylilye @DikaOfoma What then is wrong with a child appreciating his parents' duty? What does it take away from him? Does it not teach him gratitude even for things that are perceived as duty? The fact that something is a duty doesn't mean all those with the obligation do it. So gratitude is not bad

[Learned Isi-agwu @PatooEmmanuel]

@_fiolaa_ @JTisFiguringIt @Leylilye @DikaOfoma Lmao. Don't rope yourself into tortuous logic. Why bother to thank them for their service when they are not doing it for free and it's their duty?

@_fiolaa_ @JTisFiguringIt @Leylilye @DikaOfoma Satisfy my curiosity: why do you thank the waiter/waitress if they were just doing their job?

"He needs to build and own the platform either structurally or ideologically. I see neither!"

MoG, it is almost as though Peter Obi can never win in your assessment.

Firstly, he has an ideological platform. The Obidient movement.

That is why his followers will move to any party he joins. Why? They believe in something that he stands for.

There is nothing more ideological a structure than that.

Secondly, Peter Obi was criticised for 'not knowing how to play politics'.

So, he aligned with those who know how to 'play' it. Now, he is being criticised for doing it.

Secondly, we are making these conclusions as though Peter Obi is not the number one target of the current administration.

This man's passport was forged.
This man was denied a venue for his convention.

This man has been denied the chance to create his own party.

The president's Chief of Staff is on record asking some people to go to his party to destabilize it.

An entire Act was passed into law to trap him in ADC.

Rev'd, how are we ignoring all these obstacles and still saying Peter Obi is a weak politician?

Have we ever seen any politician in recent Nigerian history who faced this much pressure without either being in jail, collecting bribes to join the opposition, or just outright quitting?

A person is going against the behemoth that is Tinubu while still standing, and we call that man weak?

Lastly, you said he should build a new structure. With what time?

2027 is just next year. We have a nation to save from the deathly fangs of Tinubu.

Thank God you are a finance professional. If your company is facing bankruptcy, you need bailout cash first.

It is not building a side business to save the company that would be your priority.

That will come after the company is saved.

Peter Obi has shown such resilience, agility, and inventiveness.

They truncated one party; he pivoted. They passed a law to trap him in that one; he pivoted, too.

Now he is a flagbearer with an army of obidients and Kwankwasiyas ready to scale hurdles to vote for him.

The goal of his enemies was that he would not be on the ballot.

He is on the ballot. He won. That's all that matters.

Peter Obi overcame all barriers. And that's why we can never call the man an amateur or weak politician.

No, we cannot.

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@Olusammy5 @DemolaRewaju I'm going to ignore your insult because it is the hallmark of intellectually inferior minds.

Don't take my word for it, though. Those around PO have disclosed this fact publicly, and INEC has not debunked same.

As it is my wont, I will let you have the last say.

[Learned Isi-agwu @PatooEmmanuel]

"Peter Obi doesn't understand anything.' There's a reason I am pressing you all on this.

If you want to get a job, you add your educational and professional qualifications to your CV.

Please, let's see that of Peter Obi, the man who knows nothing:

University of Nigeria - B.A. Philosophy

Lagos Business School - Chief Executive Program

London School of Economics - Financial Management/Business Policy program

Columbia Business School - Marketing Management program

Kellogg School of Management - Advanced Executive Program

Kellogg School of Management - Global Advanced Management Program

Cambridge Judge Business School - Advanced Leadership Program

Saïd Business School - Advanced Management & Leadership Program

Harvard Business School - “Mid to Mid Marketing” program

Harvard Business School - “Changing the Game” program

International Institute for Management Development - Senior Executive Program certificate

International Institute for Management Development - Break-Through Program for CEOs/CEO Program certificate

The position of people like Blessing and others like the one below is that a man with this academic track record is somehow unintelligent.

But intelligence isn't just cognitive. It is practical.

Let's see Peter Obi's professional track record:

Served as Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc.

Served as Director of Fidelity Bank Plc.

Served as Chairman of Next International Nigeria Ltd.

Served as Chairman of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd.

Served as Chairman of Future View Securities Ltd.

Served as Chairman of Paymaster Nigeria Ltd.

Served as Chairman of Chams Nigeria Plc.

Served as Director of Chams Nigeria Plc.

Served as Director of Data Corp Ltd.

Served as Director of Card Centre Plc.

Anywhere in the world, Peter Obi is a C-Suite executive. Anywhere in the world.

Those programs listed above have a requirement of 15 years in top management to even apply for them.

This is the one Blessing said is not intellectual compared to Tinubu.

And this is the one you are saying doesn't know anything about policy.

Tinubu, on the other hand, is systematically borrowing your future away.

But he is intelligent.

I am saying all these obvious things to you all to make you know you are deliberately choosing a lie over the truth.

Both you and Blessing and the rest will not feign ignorance when the tides of the affairs of men turn.

We wait till then.

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

You don’t believe that Peter Obi can do just one term (4years)and fix things but you are campaigning for the person that scattered everything in 4 years to fix it in 4 years….
