A BROKEN HEART BLEED TEARS

Love is the most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares
Pleasure of love lasts but a moment
But pain of love lasts a lifetime
And the memories won't go in a longtime
The heart will break, but broken live on

700,000 Naira in 2019 is greater in value than 2,000,000 Naira cash in today’s Monday

A man that earn 700,000 Naira in 2019 is richer than someone earning 2m Naira today

Convert to USD and you will see what we call money illusion

That’s what the government celebrates as progress don’t be fooled

Dear Lagosians,

If the last 27 years have taught you ANYTHING, anything at all, it should be this:

"Ojú bọ̀ọ̀rọ̀ ò gb'ọmọ l'ọ́wọ́ èkùrọ́".

The next elections really are about your future and that of your children.

I assure you, that in the competent, compassionate and capable hands of @GRVlagos and myself, Lagos State can be so much more than it is right now, and Lagosians should not be begging for their pension or anything else for that matter.

Lagos TRULY has no business with poverty, homelessness or hunger, and yet, here we are today.

We all want to take Lagos State to the next level, to even greater than the late great Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande took it.

To do that, we must resist the devils, and they shall surely flee before us, and together, we can Make Èkó Great Again. #MEGA2027

No more Mister Nice Guy.

Warmest Regards,

Babatunde O. Gbadamosi

Why This Septuagenarian Is Investing in Peter Obi’s Presidency

At 74, I have lived long enough to know the difference between politics as entertainment and politics as a matter of national survival.

I have watched Nigeria move from promise to disappointment, from abundance to scarcity, from hope to cynicism. I have seen governments come and go, heard magnificent campaign promises, watched politicians reinvent themselves at election time, and witnessed citizens repeatedly vote for the same failed political formula while expecting a different outcome.

That is why, as a septuagenarian, my support for Peter Obi's presidency is not an emotional investment. It is an investment in the possibility that Nigeria can still change the trajectory of its political leadership.

I am not investing in a messiah. Nigeria does not need one.

I am investing in competence, prudence, accountability, human capital and a different philosophy of governance.

I Have Lived Long Enough to Know That Time Matters

At my age, I cannot afford the luxury of pretending that Nigeria has unlimited time.

The young can perhaps afford another decade of experimentation with incompetent leadership. My generation cannot. We have already spent decades watching Nigeria squander opportunities that other countries seized.

We have seen countries that were behind us economically overtake us. We have watched nations without our oil, population, arable land and enormous human resources build functioning economies.

The question, therefore, is no longer whether Nigeria has potential.

The question is why we have consistently failed to convert that potential into prosperity.

For me, one major answer is leadership.

Why Obi?

My attraction to Peter Obi is fundamentally about his apparent understanding that government is not a theatre for political grandeur; it is an instrument for improving the lives of citizens.

His current campaign agenda places emphasis on education, healthcare, agriculture, energy, security, human capital development, production and institutional reform. He has also spoken repeatedly about reducing the cost of governance and insisting that public resources produce measurable value.

Those are not glamorous promises.

They are, however, the boring fundamentals upon which serious nations are built.

And after decades of watching Nigeria chase political spectacle while neglecting fundamentals, I have become particularly interested in the boring stuff.

Schools. Hospitals. Electricity. Roads. Agriculture. Manufacturing. Security. Jobs. Institutions.

That is where national development actually happens.

I Am Investing in a Philosophy, Not a Personality

Peter Obi is not infallible. I do not subscribe to the idea that because I support a politician, I must defend everything he says or does.

That is precisely the mentality Nigeria must escape.

I will support Obi where I believe he is right, question him where I believe he is wrong and demand accountability if he eventually occupies Aso Rock.

My support is therefore not a blank cheque.

It is a conditional investment.

The condition is simple:

«Give Nigerians government that works, and Nigerians will judge you by the results.»

Obi has also argued that four years should be sufficient for a serious leader to demonstrate whether his administration is capable of changing the country's direction.

I find that proposition particularly compelling.

Nigeria does not need another administration asking for eight years before Nigerians can see results.

We have waited long enough.

The Greatest Investment Must Be in Nigerians

And a president who understands that public resources belong to the people can begin restoring something Nigeria desperately needs:

trust.

My Septuagenarian Investment

So why is this septuagenarian investing in Peter Obi's presidency?

Because after 74 years, I have learned that the most expensive thing a nation can lose is not money.

It is time.

[Everest @novieverest]

Peter Obi is not treating 2027 like 2023.
From PO's official account.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Dr Jay le Director @fingerlyjay]

Peter Obi should up the ante, instead of structuring his campaign around the conventional 36 states, he should make it 109 senatorial zone.

He should take his campaign down to the grassroots. If he starts early, he will cover the 109 senatorial zones. Two or three days allocated to a state interacting with the structure and people.

If possible do-not release any campaign council list, it is not really necessary. Make an announcement appointing every Nigerian and card carrying NDC members as members of your campaign organization. Let everybody own the work and do the work.

He should only appoint few aides who will move around with him, only young men and women, to take care of press and protocol.

Play a different game from the one these old politicians are used to and they will be confused

Nonso,

If KC Luxury retained me to defend him, I would represent him without apology. I render legal services. I represent, advise and defend. But does my retainer suddenly make KC Luxury qualified to keynote the next NBA conference? That is the point you’re missing and one that is being lost in this conversation about VDM.

The yardstick for selecting a SPEAKER at a national conference of lawyers is not POPULARITY. It is not CONFRONTATIONAL ENERGY. It is not the NUMBER OF FOLLOWERS one commands. It is CALIBRE. It is EXPERTISE. It is the quality of what that person can contribute to the intellectual and professional advancement of the legal profession.

The best graduating student in professional ethics recently had her award withdrawn. Not because she committed a crime. Not because she insulted anyone but because of how she dressed in a photograph on social media. That is the standard the profession publicly enforces. Strict, Disciplined, Uncompromising. Image conscious to the last detail. And then the same profession turns around and invites VDM to speak at its national conference.

VDM is not a symbol of professionalism. He is by his own design and by public acknowledgment a SYMBOL OF REBELLION. And that rebellion has thrived not because of VDM's genius but because our institutions are weak, broken, corrupt and the common man is frustrated. Weak institutions create the vacuum that confrontational figures like VDM fills. VDM exists at the intersection of institutional decay and public frustration. He is a symptom not a solution.

His public relevance thrives only because our institutions are weak enough to allow someone who weaponises defamation, harassment, and cyber‑bullying to masquerade as a civic advocate.This is not about one good act or his isolated acts of public service but about his sustained pattern of operating outside the confines of the law, a pattern that would collapse instantly if our institutions were functioning as they should. Many admire him for it. Many find it entertaining. But admiration and entertainment are not qualifications.

At a national conference of lawyers, the expectation is that speakers should be individuals capable of diagnosing institutional decay and articulating credible, lawful solutions. VDM cannot do that. He is not a security expert, not a policy thinker, and certainly not a model of lawful civic engagement.

Now look at the topic itself. Known Gunmen. What exactly is VDM's expertise on this subject? Is he a security analyst? A conflict resolution expert? A policy architect? Is he there to offer strategic legal or institutional frameworks for addressing the problem? Or is he there to dramatically retell what he personally witnessed and narrated to us already on social media? Because if it is the latter, that is a performance, not a contribution.

The NBA has in the past hosted sitting presidents, heads of state and genuine subject matter experts at its conferences. People who brought intellectual weight to the room. People who advanced the conversation. What is being offered now is a parade of politicians and social media personalities, a substitution of spectacle for substance.

This is not a small thing ooo. It is a reflection of where the institution sees itself and what it believes its members deserve. It is a new low. And we should call it exactly that.@MrsBBold @NigBarAssoc @afamosigwe

[Tunde Salami @Tundesalamii]

VDM at NBA Conference. Laughable, frightful and disgraceful. I am increasingly convinced that at the next NBA Conference, we may well find Peller, Carter Efe, and DJ Chicken paraded as “guest speakers.” It is indeed a lamentable spectacle and a grotesque parody of professionalism. An association that ought to be the citadel of intellectual discipline now appears eager to confer validation on clout-drunk provocateurs all in the name of performative relevance. The very “supposed” custodians of professional excellence are being positioned to sit through the theatrics of digital charlatans. It is, in every sense, a tragic commentary on a society steadily trivializing its own standards. It is well. @NigBarAssoc @afamosigwe @MrsBBold

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

Before I left Islam, I was debating a Sudanese Christian who challenged me to name one good thing about Muhammad. Just one.

I thought: easy. We Muslims practically worship Muhammad as the greatest man who ever lived.

So I tried to recall good qualities, honesty, compassion, mercy, love, anything, any single story, and I couldn’t remember one.

So I went to Google and typed: “the qualities of the Prophet.”

Islamic websites came up, and I thought, good, now I’ll have plenty of examples for this guy.

I opened them and was stunned: even the Islamic websites offered no good qualities in the sense he’d challenged me to find.

They praised his courage in spreading Islam, his fighting of Allah’s enemies, his physical strength, and his strictness.

Not one of the qualities the man had asked for.

Even the famous mercy at Mecca, sparing the people who had supposedly persecuted him, turned out to be for strategic reasons.

And when I started digging into the Quran and the sira for myself, I found that he married a child, he took Safiyya, a Jewish woman, the same day he killed her father, her brother, and her husband, trading his companion Dihya seven other captives for her, and posting a guard by the tent in case she tried to avenge them while raping her.

He had the men of the Jewish tribe beheaded, down to boys checked for pubic hair.

He raided trade caravans and took other tribes’ treasures.

He lied and broke truces he asked for.

He slept with all of his 9 wives the same night.

He killed anyone who mocked him.

He recruited raiders with the promise of other cities’ women.

And when his own fighters hesitated to touch married captives, because their husbands were alive and watching, Muhammad told them it was fine because allah said so.

Even the pagans of Arabia had higher morality than he did.

Every one of these acts was stamped with Allah’s approval.

He even married his adopted son’s wife by divine decree.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I left Islam when I met this disgusting man, a man who turned his qualities into a religion, transmitted it to every generation of Muslims since, and made himself the ceiling of their morality.

This is the man Mamdani wants you to learn from.

Peter Obi scored an own goal on the subsidy issue.

A good politician will take advantage of the public sentiment on the subsidy issue even if they believe otherwise.

Politics is about appealing to the people.
