This is what 1.5 million people looks like. Just think about this.
Nigeria's population is rumoured to be 250 million.
Do you know that instead of crying, dying to terrorism & sinking in poverty, we could change our fate if 250 million people march in unity to chase APC out? 🤷♀️
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
Nigerians The APC Chieftain Amupitan is still pretending to be your INEC Chairman, we Must Not be quiet, increase the Volume,
AMUPITAN MUST GO❗️
#AmupitanMustGO ❗️
INEC will be laughing at us right now because the public outcry about Amupitan has faded away like candle smoke.
Why can’t we Nigerians maintain consistency for at least a straight month without distraction until a positive result is achieved?
Amupitan must resign!
Stop letting the APC mislead you. Their claim that only Peter Obi's tribesmen support him is a lie. Look at me, do I look Igbo?
They’re counting on your ignorance or your laziness. They assume you won't check his record as governor. That’s how they lie so brazenly. But here’s the truth: any Nigerian who truly loves this country and has a good heart cannot see Peter Obi’s track record and refuse to support him. He has no equal among today’s politicians.
Here’s the proof of why so many of people stand with him:

@Blessing_Olivi So soccer is the most important thing to you? If EPL belong to Africa, do u honestly think the West will be wasting their time on it like you? Except u are betting and making a living on it like in advanced countries, u do not even have to wast ur time watching soccer.
@trigottista@inecnigeria DISTURBING: New Electoral Act Permits Politicians To Print Their Own Ballot Papers, Mandate INEC Officials To Accept Election Result Sheet Without INEC Official Mark

REMINDER: Bola needs to rig more than 14.5m votes to beat a combined ADC + maybe 500k new voters who would vote.
His path to victory is almost zero to none.
Get your PVC and join 15m voters to get rid of APC once and for all.
Don't give him any quarters.
