Evidence upon Evidence and Amupitan is still denying.
Anyone who can deny his own profile, account and what's obvious can deny that you won an election.
Amupitan must resign immediately...
Standing Up for Democracy
Today, I joined fellow Nigerians, leaders, and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by National Chairman Sen. David Mark to participate in a peaceful "Save Democracy" protest.
This event was not just an effort to protect our democracy; it was also a moment of reflection on how far we have fallen as a nation. We must resist the suffocation of our democracy by those who once claimed to have sacrificed to defend it, but are now doing everything possible to undermine it and silence opposition.
History will not be kind to those who traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power. We will not remain silent, we will not be intimidated, and we will not surrender the future of this nation. The will of the people must prevail—stronger, louder, and impossible to suppress.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
We, members and leaders of the ADC, and other well-meaning Nigerians, lovers of democracy, are saying that our democracy must not be killed. We say NO to a one-party system and for that today we’re calling out Nigerians who believe in unity, peace, and security of our country to join us as we defend democracy in our land.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@alexottiofr@PO_GrassRootM Happy Easter Sir. May the celebration of Christ resurrection and triumphant over the power death and the grave silence every opposition to your continuos rising in the political arena with infallible proves of Jesus hand upon you and yours in Jesus Name. Amen!
Today, we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The resurrection is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, a powerful reminder that light triumphs over darkness, hope conquers despair, and life prevails over death.
Through His victory over the grave, humanity has received the gift of salvation, the assurance of eternal life, and the promise of renewed hope. Easter calls us to embrace love, forgiveness, and compassion, values that strengthen our communities and uplift our nation.
As we rejoice in this season of renewal, may the blessings of Easter bring peace to our hearts, unity to our families, and prosperity to our land.
Happy Easter to all!
This is One of the Qualities That Makes Peter Obi the Best Man for the Job of President in Nigeria.
Recently, I have heard some Nigerians say things like, “Peter Obi is too soft. Nigeria needs a strong man. He is too kind. Nigerians do not need a nice person.”
Anytime I hear that, I feel like giving them a hug and telling them that I understand.
I understand that many Nigerians have become used to wicked and heartless leaders who oppress, insult and mistreat them as a form of leadership.
Many Nigerians have been oppressed, harrased and insulted throughout their lives, by; parents, teachers, banks, police, army, politicians, road safety, Lastma, Agbero, conductors, lecturers, and even class rep.
To the point that you got so used to it, that you now see empathy and love as weakness, as if you do not deserve it.
Many Nigerians don't even hug or say I love you to their family members, it is seen as a sign of weakness meanwhile it is a siyof strength, unity and love.
You have been conditioned to admire strong men who insult and treat Nigerians like slaves, to the point that you are now addicted to it.
But I can assure you that empathy is one of the most important qualities a leader can have, especially considering the power that comes with the office of President.
And Peter "Empathy" Obi is an epitome of empathy. Everyone even his critics can testify.
If a man has empathy, he will NOT go on stage in his first day in office, and announce that subsidy is gone, turning your life upside down overnight.
You can no longer afford eggs, milk, or fish, all because you voted for a strong man with zero empathy and understanding, who does not care if you live or perish.
For those who say you don't want Peter Obi or he cannot win because he is too nice. I need to ask you this;
Would you prefer a leader like the minister who boasts about sending people to seize land from innocent Nigerians?
Or the minister who will owe someone 250 million and then organize the police to oppress them?
Or the Obia Akpor Adolf Hitler who insults your parents, and orchestrates a state of emergency to destabilize your state for selfish reasons?
Or the senator who will say, “If you like, go and protest, but we will be eating”?
Are those the kinds of strong men you want to lead you?
Strong men who place their personal interests above the wellbeing of the people because they were never loved and thus lack empathy?
I do not think any Nigerian really wants that; it is just because we have been oppressed for so long that some of us think being cold-hearted and wicked is a virtue.
It is time for Nigerians who have been oppressed, insulted, and cheated for years to experience what empathy feels like; what it feels like to be loved, valued, appreciated, and genuinely cared for.
It is time to elect a leader who will think twice before implementing any policy that will make the prices of eggs, meat, milk and fish unaffordable for ordinary citizens.
Because of empathy, Peter Obi will not be able to sleep as president, until every terrorist and kidnaper is dead and buried, and every corner of Nigeria is safe.
The strong men that you like were busy attending weddings and fishing festivals when 160+ people in Woro, Kwara State were killed and 150 were kidnapped.
The strong men you wish for, refused Peter Obi from visiting Benue State to support people who were suffering, after they failed to protect them.
It is the strong, heartless, evil, wicked man who will sleep in Abuja like a baby while 200 people are being killed in Benue State.
Are those the strong men you want? How would you feel if you were the people of Benue IDPs or the people of Woro in Kwara?
Would you wish for a strong man or a man who has empathy and understanding and who will never fold his hands while you are suffering?
I will leave you to think about it.
When you are done, just drop every excuse, go out there, register with INEC, and vote Peter Obi.
@Denny_vin A Super Happy Birthday to You my Dear Awesome Brother. 🎂🎈
May you flourish and prosperous in this year like a tree planted near running waters. Amen. 🙏🏽
A DESTINY ASSIGNMENT
Being the Text of an Address Presented by Governor Alex C. Otti, OFR, at the Conclusion of the 2026 First Quarter Executive Council Retreat on Sunday, March 1, at the international Conference Centre, Umuahia
Protocol
1. Several persons, including many in this room, have confronted me to ask why we put so much effort to this job that there is hardly time to rest, even on weekends. A few of you have had to remind me that this is not how to “do government work,” wondering why we work even harder than those in the private sector. My response every time has stayed the same: we are on a destiny assignment, not a casual stroll through public office. It is only when we interpret our roles from the lens of mission and destiny that the daily sacrifices will begin to have a more profound meaning. I agree entirely with those who insist that we put in so much to everything as can be seen from the experience of the last 2 days but as I have also said on a few occasions, every sacrifice made for the good of our people, the future of our state and the glory of our land, is well worth it. In my opening address yesterday, I announced that we are privileged to have been called to serve at this point in our political and social evolution where mediocrity and empty gestures can no longer answer the tough development questions of the day.
2. It has been 2 days of gruelling but rewarding intellectual engagements and I thank everyone for the active participation over the entire stretch. It also has to be admitted that it has been tough for many of us but again, that is the price we have to pay for the responsibility that has been entrusted to us. The world is evolving at a pace that is difficult to comprehend so the least we can do is to constantly challenge ourselves to raise the bar for what was deemed satisfactory only yesterday may come off as subpar today. It is, therefore, expected that whoever wishes to reach and remain at the top must at the minimum keep wake at the place of learning and active at the field of execution for in the end, learning without execution offers no real advantage. The bottom-line is that excellence in preparation is only the entry price to the place of impact, building an enduring legacy requires consistent process evaluation, environmental awareness and the capacity to evolve in response to emerging dynamics within the relevant ecosystems.
3 We have raised the bar on governance for the simple reason that we did not approach our job with the I have arrived mentality that is common in this part of the world. Our role as public office holders in Abia State is no less important than that of those driving the innovations at the heart of the changing global economic order. Our results speak for themselves but if we get complacent and stop asking tough questions of ourselves, everything would slide back to where they were before we came in. We are, therefore, encouraged to resist the temptation to rest on our oars; if anything, the public appreciation should spur us to reach for more, do more and continually point our people to what is possible with dedication and unyielding commitment to service. Our legacy, beyond the physical infrastructure, will rest on how we prepare our children for the opportunities of tomorrow — the hope we stir in the hearts of parents that their children would inherit a better future.
Do you truly understand what it means to be a child of God? I am not speaking about those who carry the label of Christianity, who may attend church or call themselves Christians, but who have never truly surrendered their hearts to Christ. I am speaking to those who are genuinely in Him, those whose lives have been fully handed over to Jesus. I am talking to those who have given up worldly desires, who have placed their bodies, their thoughts, their time, and their plans upon the altar of God as a living sacrifice. I am speaking to those who have made up their minds to follow Jesus, who have confessed with their mouths that He is Lord, and believed in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead. These are the ones whose faith is alive, whose commitment is real, and whose lives bear the mark of transformation that only Christ can bring.
For those who are truly in Christ, your salvation is sealed. It is permanent. It is secure. The Bible declares this truth: nothing can separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38–39). You do not need to live in fear or anxiety about your eternal destiny, because God Himself has promised that your salvation is not temporary. It is His work, and it is complete. Once He saves, His hand holds you permanently, and no force in heaven or on earth can break that seal (Ephesians 1:13–14).
Though this truth is often misunderstood by many. Some hear “once saved, always saved” and think it gives them a license to live any way they choose, as if salvation makes the Christian life effortless or risk-free. That is far from the truth. While salvation is secure, God calls us to actively fight for our faith. He calls us to persevere, to struggle against sin, to grow in righteousness, and to faithfully walk the narrow path He has set before us. Scripture does not leave room for passivity, we are urged to “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12) and to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12). This is not a contradiction to eternal security. Rather, it is the evidence that our faith is alive, real, and transforming us from the inside out.
Even the most faithful believer may stumble. Temptation is real, and the flesh is weak. But a true child of God will not permanently turn away from Christ. A genuine believer may fall, may sin, may struggle, but they will not abandon the One who sealed their salvation. God’s grace is powerful, His Spirit indwelling us is permanent, and His love will not let go of those He has called (John 10:28). Our struggles are not signs of failure but opportunities for growth. They are the fire through which faith is tested and strengthened, producing endurance, character, and hope (James 1:2–4).
God allows this fight because He desires for us not only to be saved but to be transformed. He wants our obedience to produce maturity, our discipline to bear fruit, and our choices to reflect the reality of our faith (Hebrews 5:14, Matthew 7:16–20). Our salvation guarantees eternal life, but it does not guarantee a life free from trials, discipline, or personal responsibility. The choices we make daily determine how joyful, victorious, and fruitful our lives in Christ will be. The battle is not about earning salvation, for it is a gift freely given. Rather, it is about walking in the fullness of the life Jesus promises, a life of spiritual vitality, holiness, and intimate fellowship with God.
Therefore, understand this truth, once saved, always saved is a promise of God’s faithfulness, a declaration that His salvation is permanent for those who are truly in Christ. But being saved is not a reason for complacency. It is a reason to fight earnestly, to grow continually, to resist sin steadfastly, and to serve faithfully. Our salvation is the foundation, the fight for our faith is the building upon it, a reflection of our love for God, our desire to honor Him, and our determination to follow Jesus fully.
So, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let this be your resolve, walk boldly in the assurance of your salvation, knowing that you are sealed by the Spirit, secured by the blood of Christ, and held forever in God’s hands. But at the same time, fight for your faith with all diligence, pursue holiness, resist the lure of the world, and allow the Spirit to shape you into the image of Christ.
@Dr_Benjr Doc you're going far. The cooking they are responsible for is now becoming a hard nut to crack for a good number of them, and there you are talking about digital skill. They should develop culinary skills first before we start to have that conversation.
Where is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?
This is not just a question; it’s a critical demand for accountability in a national emergency. As we approach the end of this year, Nigeria will be home to approximately 140 million people living in extreme poverty—the highest number in the world. We are grappling with one of the hungriest populations globally, staggering insecurity, an unemployment rate exceeding 80 million among our youth, and one of the worst places to be born, with infant mortality rates worse than those of a nation seven times our size.
In the midst of this chaos, where has our President been? Spending 196 days abroad in 2025 alone—more than he has spent within his own country, at a time when we face profound crises.
Since December 2025, Nigerians have not heard a word from their President. Reports indicate he opted for a holiday in Europe while the nation was plunged into a New Year marked by hunger, anxiety, and uncertainty. There was no New Year address, no national broadcast, no leadership voice to provide reassurance or guidance.
This lack of presence starkly contrasts with what we see in comparable developing nations where leaders step up in times of crisis. In Nigeria, following U.S. military strikes on our soil, our President remained silent. Instead of directly addressing the nation, Nigerians learned about these critical events from foreign media, American officials, and the vague communications from the Presidency’s aides known for their propaganda, rather than from their own leader.
This is not governance; it’s neglect. The President was seen abroad yet again for another summit while remaining absent from his own country when he is needed the most. Earlier this year, he even sent an AI-generated image to the nation instead of addressing his people face-to-face.
Are we to believe Nigeria is being governed, or is it merely being managed from elsewhere? Leadership is not simply issuing press releases; it’s about standing before the people, engaging with them, and offering clarity.
We are not asking for perfection; we demand presence. Nigerians are eager to hear from their President through direct media briefings. They deserve to understand the state of their country. You cannot run Nigeria like a personal business or a private club; it is imperative to rebuild and grow our economy through unity and clarity.
Progress is impossible without unity and consensus, and it begins with strong leadership that sets the tone. No policy, reform, economic plan, or security measure can thrive in a divided nation. When leadership withdraws, unity falters, and the fabric of our society unravels under the weight of mistrust and division.
In a time of crisis, the absence of leadership is not just troubling; it is perilous. Silence in the face of crisis is the loudest form of failure.
A New Nigeria is not just POssible; it is essential. -PO
Why the Controversial tax law should be paused?
It is now undeniable that the tax laws have been fundamentally altered, and even a firm as esteemed as KPMG has pinpointed 31 critical problem areas, from drafting errors to glaring policy contradictions and administrative gaps. This revelation should prompt every responsible government to take immediate action.
Even more alarming is the fact that it took private meetings between the National Revenue Service and KPMG for these serious issues to be acknowledged. If experts require closed-door discussions to navigate the complexities of our tax laws, what hope does the average Nigerian have of comprehending the obligations being imposed on them?
Taxation transcends mere fiscal policy; it represents a social contract between the government and its citizens. You cannot enforce a social contract that isn’t understood or trusted.
Globally, tax policies are justified by delivering tangible benefits to citizens: improved healthcare, better educational systems, job opportunities, infrastructure development, and social safety nets. This is what the social contract signifies. In Nigeria, the narrative is all about how much more the government seeks to extract, rather than what it is prepared to offer in return. A tax system devoid of clear public benefits isn’t reform; it is, quite frankly, extortion.
Typically, months, if not years, are dedicated to consulting with businesses, workers, and civil society before tax drafts are presented for public discussion, with the ramifications clearly explained. People must be informed not only about their financial contributions but also about the benefits that will ensue. This is how legitimacy is cultivated. Yet, in Nigeria, we have seen no such public consultations or discussions regarding the final tax laws, leaving ordinary citizens completely in the dark about both the regulations and the benefits of the taxes they’re expected to pay.
We have hastily pursued collection without securing a consensus and imposed enforcement without providing adequate explanations. Even after the removal of subsidies, Nigerians remain in limbo, waiting for tangible benefits or relief. Instead, they are grappling with skyrocketing food prices, exorbitant transport costs, dwindling purchasing power, and escalating poverty levels.
Before we have even begun to address these issues, we are being thrust into an expansive new tax regime, riddled with inconsistencies and producing 31 alarming red flags from a leading global accounting firm. This is not the hallmark of responsible governance.
Without trust, taxation feels like punishment. Without clarity, it breeds confusion. Without evident public value, it amounts to robbery.
Nigeria cannot afford to place further burdens on its already struggling citizens. What we need is a government that listens, communicates effectively, and prioritises building national consensus. This is the only viable path to genuine reform, unity, growth, and shared prosperity.
A New Nigeria is not just a possibility; it is an imperative. -PO
To conduct the orchestra, you must turn your back on the audience to face the music.
Greatness demands focus. Dominance demands obsession.
But TOTAL DOMINANCE, it exists on an entirely different strata..
It requires truth, and the truth is this: it takes everything you didn’t know you had left to give. This work stretched me, reshaped me, and yet continues to amaze me. Maybe because I believe deeply in beauty, in timelessness, in ingenuity that refuses to expire.
Little wonder I share an ancestry with the Achebes and Chimamandas of this world; a rich tapestry of literal consciousness.
Beyond metrics, beyond the numbers, the noise, what if we saw music for what it really is? What if we made songs that dug deep, that linger, songs that earn their own memory?
I’ve lived for this, I’ve proven I would gladly choose it over anything, over anyone. I’ve been told a million times it’s not only about the music, they’re Wrong, it has always been ONLY about the music.
More than anything, I desire to see this body of work break walls, to bruise comfort, to heal where it matters.
Listen quietly, long enough, maybe it may remind you of who you were before you became who you thought you were supposed to be.
Nuff said.
30th of January let’s grab another piece of magic.
TOTAL DOMINANCE is here.
Long live HIPHOP.

ERA OF FINANCIAL RECKLESSNESS
Financial recklessness is increasingly becoming normalized in our country. Just last week, it was alarmingly reported that the President approved the write-off of ₦5.57 trillion and $1.42 billion—approximately ₦8 trillion—in debts owed by NNPC, a company that recently announced profits and claimed it had turned a new leaf.
This is the same agency currently facing serious audit inquiries for failing to account for ₦210 trillion, an amount that far exceeds the combined Federal budgets of Nigeria from 2023 to 2026. For context, the Federal Government’s budgets for these years were approximately: ₦21.83 trillion for 2023, ₦43.56 trillion for 2024, ₦54.99 trillion for 2025, and an estimated ₦58.18 trillion for 2026. The total budget for these four years amounts to roughly ₦178.56 trillion.
Nigerians are still waiting for the outcome of the National Assembly investigation into the missing trillions. This company is also under scrutiny for trillions spent on non-functional refineries. Yet, the President, who also serves as the Minister in charge, has approved the write-off of about ₦8 trillion in NNPC debts.
Nigerians, already enduring severe hardships due to the removal of petroleum and electricity subsidies—with no tangible improvements in their lives—are now confronted with this unexplained debt forgiveness. The nearly ₦8 trillion write-off will effectively replace revenue that the government is currently seeking through unfair taxation.
It is imperative that the government provides a clear and transparent justification for the write-off, given the immense impact such a large amount of resources could have on national development.
This almost ₦8 trillion write-off could have generated the revenue the government now seeks through these unfair taxes. The amount exceeds the 2025 combined Federal budget allocations for education, health, and agriculture, which total ₦7.1 trillion. In practical terms, this money alone could fully fund critical areas of development, lifting millions of Nigerians out of poverty and significantly reducing the over 130 million people currently living in poverty in the country.
The write-off sum of ₦8 trillion is nearly twice the 2025 Federal Security budget of ₦4.9 trillion, even as insecurity continues to devastate communities across the nation.
Such resources could empower 8 million youths—10% of the 80 million unemployed—creating approximately 1,000 jobs for each of the 8,809 wards, thus substantially reducing the 130 million impoverished individuals in the country.
The President, who is also the Minister, owes the Nigerian people clear answers. The citizens deserve honesty, fiscal discipline, and governance that protects their interests—not the interests of mismanaged corporations or political elites.
This betrayal of the people must be stopped.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
“We urge INEC to adhere strictly to all electoral rules in the forthcoming elections, beginning with educational qualifications. Nigerians should not be questioning whether a candidate attended school.”
— Former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi
