As someone who has extensively researched almost all presidential candidates since 2011, I know Obi is a poor articulator of his ideas. Apart from his populist ideas like cutting waste in government, reducing corruption and his personal frugality, he usually expresses his proposed policies direction rather poorly .
He mostly struggles with the "how" of his ideas.
This is a valid reason not to support him, if you choose not to.
However, if you the support Tinubu (which is also a valid decision) and are justifying it because Obi struggles with articulating his ideas clearly and often struggles at interviews, you are being hypocritical.
Tinubu is mostly unintelligible. His words are slurred, often meaningless and responses to questions are usually travelling on a tangent.
The truth be told, of the three leading presidential candidates, Atiku is head and shoulders above others in the clarity of his proposed policy directions and articulation.
In fact, the only presidential candidate in recent history that trumps him in this area, is Kingsley Moghalu.
If you, however, think this is not enough, and for reasons such as his age, alleged proclivity for corruption, etc, you choose not to support him, your reason is also valid.
@Ademola_Odumesi@jlanre144 You might need to ask around and check their books.
Even some Band A are always grateful if the light goes off.
Now step down from that level and move around people who can't afford the minimal power and some still bypass.
Politics aside,I believe you know about this things
💔💔PHOTO NEWS: This is Pastor Sunday Timothy Omole, the minister-in-charge of ECWA Church in Omugo, Oro Ago, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
He was preaching on March 22, 2026, when t£rror!sts invaded the church and abducted eleven worshippers, including his wife, who was reportedly ill at the time.
After several days in captivity, the abductors released two elderly victims and a child, reportedly because they were unable to walk properly.
The kidnappers later contacted Pastor Omole and initially demanded a ransom of ₦1 billion. Following negotiations, they agreed to reduce the demand.
According to reports, the pastor was instructed to provide ₦20 million, five bags of rice, four 30-litre kegs of petrol, one keg of red oil, one carton of seasoning cubes, and ₦40,000 worth of hard drugs. He reportedly delivered all the requested items.
On the day of the delivery, Pastor Omole said he heard his wife’s voice, giving him hope that she and the other captives would soon be released.
However, the abductors did not release any of the remaining victims. Instead, they reportedly demanded an additional ₦300 million ransom, which he could not afford.
A few days ago, one of the abducted worshippers reportedly escaped and returned to the community.
The escapee informed residents that five of the kidnapped worshippers, including the pastor’s wife, had d!ed while in captivity in the forest.
“When Kwara was invaded by bandits”
When last did you hear of this abduction incident, not to talk of the one that happened in Ekiti local government of the same state.
The Governor of the state left them to do the negotiation all about themselves and the APC guys here will not call the Governor out as long as the Governor does not call the President out.
This is the Nigeria we are now, where they have prioritized politics over the lives of citizens.
God will punish all of you!
For my next trick, even though I’m against Sharia Law, I’m going to vote in a VP that introduced Sharia law in his state as Governor and he’s on US list of extremists.
ENJOY YOUR MONEY NOW BECAUSE….
I have lived in the UK since February 1990 and have spent the majority of my life here. God has been good to me, and I am grateful.
Over those years, I enjoyed stability, peace, and comfort in the company of some close friends who became pillars in my life. We suffered together: Did odd jobs, battled with the immigration authorities, studied together, got married, raised our children, bought properties, and made some money. We looked forward to our retirement together, and so we thought.
Suddenly, people started getting sick and mostly of cancer. One by one, those pillars that surrounded me started crumbling. None of you reading this will believe what has happened to my circle of friends in the past three years. I lost my PA of many years on the 22nd of May 2023, another friend on the 21st of August 2023, another on 31 January 2025, another on the 3rd of February 2026, another on the 19th of May 2026, and another on the 24th of May 2026. These were people I was very close to, and I was involved in their care. They left harrowing voice notes for me and told me things I cannot disclose to anyone before they died. All of them died of cancer. Sadly, I had to bury three of them as their friend and pastor. No two days have been the same for me. I pick up my phone to call them, but they are no longer there. When some clients said they called and sent messages but did not get a response, it was not deliberate. I ignored myself, too, but I am getting better. Life happened!
Why am I being this open? All of them suffered and worked hard. They were between 50 and 65 years old. They looked forward to their pension. They looked forward to spending time with their spouse and grandchildren, but it never happened.
So, to you, who is working hard and looking forward to your pension, there may be no pension. There may be no old age. Start enjoying your life now. Start enjoying your money now. Start fulfilling those dreams now. Do not spend your life laboring to die without tasting what you labored for. That was what happened to my seven hardworking and good friends within the last three years. I am heartbroken, and I missed them all. There is no one to throw football banters with. They all supported teams that I don’t support or like😜
For my remaining friends and readers of this article, may the Lord help us and protect us. Remember that life is temporary and unpredictable. May we enjoy the fruits of our labor, but we need to turn our prayers to intentional enjoyment of our money before it is too late. If old age comes, it comes, but enjoy now. Psalm 39:6.
Hold on, I am trying to book my next holiday. Book yours too. See you later.

Ori-Oke Ajaiye.
A prayer mountain in Kwara State.
Friday night. May 23rd. 8:30pm.
Bandits invaded.
Killed three. Took fifteen others into the night.
While they were on their knees.
The community has a name for what happened.
They are calling it Black Saturday.
Not Ekiti State. There is an Ekiti Local Government Area inside Kwara South. That is where Ikiran sits. That is where Ikerin-Opin is.
The thing is that grazing has evolved.
The cattles going about are majorly owned by People in those communities and they just employ those guys to herd them.
The cattle owners will have to discard the herders and ranch them which they don't want to do.
I expect every serious Governor to ban open grazing, clear out the forests and arrest anyone found in them without proper identification. Avoiding that so you don’t offend some people is stupidity at this point. That Teacher’s death is one too many. Any Government that cannot secure the lives and properties of citizens has failed. Until you activate State Policing, you cannot blame any Governor for security lapses. The buck stops at the President’s Table!
In 2016/2017, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) was closed for almost a year and the students/alumni body had to embark on Operation Fund LAUTECH (you can search with #fundLAUTECH).
Governor Seyi Makinde was the highest donor to the University then (Remember he wasn’t the Governor then).
In 2019 when campaign started, Seyi Makinde visited the University and promised to ensure Oyo State gets full ownership of the University to enable it run smoothly.
Almost immediately after Seyi Makinde was declared winner of that election, he inaugurated a LAUTECH Ownership Committee and indeed, they achieved the goal of making LAUTECH Oyo State’s own. This is a mission that has been embarked on by different Governments in the past without results.
It has been forward ever for LAUTECH since then. Zero strikes, zero issues, prompt attention and academic success.
This is indeed the kind of attention and uplift all Nigerian institutions will receive from Seyi Makinde when elected as President. He has shown results as Governor and we can trust him even with higher tasks. He is different from those suddenly waking up to responsibilities after leaving office.😅
I have attached 4 slides of images detailing the journey of LAUTECH from 2016/17 till now for verification. ❤️
Wow, I found my senior high school photo of my Business Teacher and me, Ms. Lu, back in 2005. She shaped me into the person I am today. She was so hard on me, and I didn't get it at the time.
I remember the time she gave me an after-school detention for scoring an 85 on my Accounting test. The rule for this exam was that if you scored below 70, you would receive detention. As no surprise, the 8 Asian students in our class scored 105, and I was the only student who scored in the 80s. The rest of the class failed, and yet she still handed me a detention.
I thought she was picking on me. I was furious, and she pulled me aside. Then she told me why she made this decision.
Ms. Lu: You're so smart and yet so lazy. You do the bare minimum to get by. The look on your face after receiving that 85, you settled for that score, knowing you have the potential to aim much higher. You are an "A" student, nothing less. There's hope for you, and I don't want you going through life doing the bare minimum and settling for it.
She told me that I can score a 105 and I didn't believe her. I didn't believe I was as smart as those Asian students in my class. But she told me I am just as smart as them if I stop being lazy.
Boy, that put flame under my ass, because the next Exam I scored a 110, 5 points higher than the smartest Asian Girl in the class at the time. She was pissed and in disbelief that I had a higher score than her. The class was generally surprised that I pulled it off. Since then, I was an "A" student in her class. I even surprised myself, and I thank Ms. Lu for that.
I miss my teacher. I wonder how life is going for her right now?
I had the opportunity to share part of my vision for Lagos on _Your View!_
After decades managing billions in the private sector, I know that real power isn’t in boardrooms—it’s serving people in communities where they live.
Lagos families deserve good Education, Healthcare, Transport, Housing, Water, and Power.
My plan will deliver:
Free transport for every child in school uniform.
Free healthcare + drugs for young children and their mothers.
Not in 4 years—in 12 months. Afterall, a one-year-old with a fever can’t wait.
It is time to make Lagos work for all of us

Not only did Atiku personally pick him against the wishes of party leaders, he stood by the decision when leaders protested against the choice and Governors threatened to withdraw support. Why do you think people like Umahi ultimately left. Abeg Stop debating this thing.
Yesterday, upon my arrival from Ibadan after the National Opposition Summit, I proceeded directly to the wedding of my godson, Cross Okonkwo @crossdabossike, and Chinonso Okonkwo, here in Abuja. The occasion provided yet another opportunity to reflect the strong bond between our families. I wish the couple a very happy and fulfilling married life. -AA
