Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President
I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.
While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.
Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.
The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.
No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.
The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.

I’ll be working on how to prevent kidnapping and what to do if someone is kidnapped, including possible ways to escape.
I pray we never fall victim to this situation, though. 🙏🏽
THE MAN PETER OBI.
Whenever Peter Obi is in the media, before the press, or on social media, he talks mainly about current national issues bedevilling the nation, and how to rescue Nigeria. But whenever members of the ruling APC or other opposition parties are in the media, they often talk more about Peter Obi, without recourse to current issues affecting Nigeria as a nation.
So again i ask, Who is really incharge of this nation? Why on earth will the APC government in power and all strong opposition parties in Nigeria take on one man as their common threat and common enemy. A man who is also in the opposition. A man whom they claimed came 3rd in the 2023 presidential election. Why the coordinated attacks against him?
There must be something special about Peter Obi that they are seeing, that is scaring the shit out of their lives. Something unique that will reset Nigeria and return it back to her past glory, which they don't want to happen because it will be a goodbye to their wealth without enterprise. Unnecessary wastages, lootings, stealing, and their century old structures of criminality.
Fellow Nigerians, whenever a group or groups of persons start attacking one man without showing any evidence of his wrong doing, know that it is because of envy, hatred, fear of his personality, capability, and integrity.
Such a man is the man for the job. Bad people are always scared of things they stand to lose if good people come to power. So they can do anything including blackmail to scuttle that.
Vote Peter Gregory Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (OK) for the 2027 presidential election. Vote for NDC.
If you vote and defend your votes, we shall kick Tinubu and his evil APC out of power in 2027. We shall stop other crimal elements from smelling, testing or coming close to power.
A new Nigeria is possible. NDC ✌️
I have someone who just became a doctor.
She’s an inspiration to me. She started 100 level in Microbiology over a decade ago.
She completed her bachelors degree in MCB. She served, and then went back to uni to start Medicine.
Nobody could convince her out of her dreams. She wanted to be a doctor and she was gonna go for it.
She lost one of her parents on the way, I remember I had to do some comforting, it was a tough time. She struggled so much with finance, stress, pressure, anxiety of not doing well (medical students will know this), she struggled with lots of things…
“Hey Yasky I’m scared of this exam”
,I heard/read that regularly for years😅. Earlier in her 200 or 300 level, I use to bother…but later I stopped bothering because I know she’ll pass, maybe she just has to say that to someone first😅. I always listened and reassured her that she’ll pass. I also encourage her in my little ways just to give her ginger.
Anyways, she’s a doctor now and I’m so proud of how far she’s come. I hope all the years spend will be worth it for her.
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY MR. PETER OBI FOLLOWING HIS NOMINATION AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS(NDC) – MAY 30, 2026
Protocols,
Esteemed citizens of Nigeria,
It is with deep humility that I accept the role of presidential candidate for our party.
I express my profound gratitude to the leaders of our party. His Excellency Seriake Dickson, the National Chairman, National Secretary and the National Working Committee, NWC members and members of our relentless supporters, and the Nigerian populace who have steadfastly kept the spirit of hope alive. I commend those who have made the journey from every region of our nation to convene here in Abuja.
I wish to assert unequivocally: a New Nigeria is Possible. This conviction has united us; it must serve as our compass on the challenging road ahead and sustain us through all trials we may face. This pivotal moment transcends the individual ambitions of Peter Obi; it concerns the essence of our nation and the future of our children. It is about rekindling hope for millions who have faced adversity yet remain committed to Nigeria.
Today, our nation finds itself at a crucial juncture, enveloped in uncertainty. Families are anxious about their safety; parents are concerned for their children's futures; and talented youth increasingly question their prospects in their homeland.
Businesses are struggling, communities are suffering, and an alarming number of citizens have lost faith in the very concept of governance. Yet, I stand before you filled with optimism and strong faith in the resilience of our people, for I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is possible.
UNITY
To realise this New Nigeria, we must first mend the foundational elements essential for the success of any nation.
Nigeria cannot advance while fragmented by ethnic, religious, regional, or narrow political divides. We may communicate in different languages and practise diverse faiths, but we share a singular destiny under one flag. Our diversity should not be a source of division; rather, it is among our greatest strengths.
We should build bridges where others erect barriers, replace mistrust with confidence, division with understanding, and resentment with a collective purpose. A united Nigeria is indispensable. As Will Durant wisely pointed out, "A great civilisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." We must never self-destruct. We must heal, unify, and progress together.
INSECURITY
In terms of security, the situation in Nigeria has considerably worsened. The global terrorism impact assessments ranked Nigeria as the 8th most affected nation in 2022, 6th in 2024, and 4th in 2026.
Yet, for many years, Nigeria garnered global recognition as a reliable contributor to peacekeeping, regional stabilisation, and conflict resolution. Our troops have not only displayed bravery but have also shown professionalism, discipline, resilience, and empathy in the most challenging operational contexts. Our officers and personnel have successfully commanded multiple international forthe ces, safeguarded vulnerable civilian populations, monitored ceasefires, reinstated constitutional order, and contributed to rebuilding efforts.
Nigeria became one of the leading contributors of troops from Africa to UN peacekeeping missions and earned widespread admiration for operational effectiveness and leadership in various countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, Western Sahara, Congo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Haiti, and Kuwait. At one pointin a Nigeria, Lt. General Isaac Obiakor (rtd) even led global peacekeeping initiatives.
We must address insecurity with resolve and urgency, for no nation can thrive while its citizens live in trepidation. The primary responsibility of the government is to ensure the safeguarding of lives and property.
As a photographer, I have learned that the most powerful people are often those who understand people, culture and history beyond the camera moments. Being part of Peter Obi’s envoy to South Africa gave me the opportunity to witness that firsthand.
Listening to him speak about his long-standing relationship with South Africa, from his early business engagements with South African Breweries, to witnessing Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, and living in the same neighborhood at the time with Mandela, showed a man who genuinely understands the importance of relationships, diplomacy and African unity.
What stood out the most was his belief in what Africa can become if we begin to work together intentionally as one continent. Conversations like these make you understand what his kind of presidency would mean for Nigeria, stronger economic partnerships, better international respect, healthier relationships across Africa, and a country that is once again seen as a serious and trusted voice on the global stage.
For me, it was more than a trip. It was a reminder that leadership is also about experience, exposure, relationships and the ability to connect Nigeria to bigger opportunities across the world.

A lot of Nigerian entrepreneurs like to appear successful and look busy meanwhile it does not reflect on their books.
I am crazy about numbers because they never lie. Everything else is just elephant crap that serves little to no purpose.
Na so them say make I write book about e-commerce and start holding twitter spaces and conferences to teach about business ontop brand wey never reach one year and a business I have not successful pushed for 10-20 straight years?. Lol
Wetin I wan teach gan gan?.
Even when Flutterwave was interviewing me and asked me to leave an advice for other upcoming entrepreneurs, I told them that I came from a wealthy home and had a father who not only taught us EVERYTHING but laid the right foundation for us to succeed so it would be unfair to give any advice or hot teks to anyone else who did not/does not have that privilege. Let everyone run their own race.
I hate being busy but unproductive. I would want to explore the easiest, fastest and most effective ways to get the job done without skipping the process because apart from the numbers, the process through which you get to the top matters too.
I do not also like get rich quick schemes so i will not throw money on ads and sign Celebrities and influencers to do ads just to skip the process.
I am ALWAYS looking for ways to do more with less. Yes the money is there but how else can we achieve this without wasting so much money?. Why pay Sydney Talker 20 million for one ad when I have an Ai content creator that can give me 40-50 Ai videos with N2m?.
We will gradually build up a very solid foundation for the Neo Brand one customer at a time and I of all people understand that great things take time.
You cannot produce a baby in one month by getting 9 women pregnant.
I no dy rush, I have time. People will ALWAYS need laptops, phones and electronics. Let us get the foundation right first and the most important factor for any e-commerce brand is TRUST.
It will take time but I am committed to it.
The first customer to make a purchase from the New NeoStore e-commerce website paid for a Hisense 75-inch TV and a Hisense 2HP inverter Standing AC but then as our first customer on the new site, we had to upgrade the TV to a more expensive LG 75-inch TV at no extra cost to him.
That is our own little way of appreciating him as our first ever customer.

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
