I think African leaders must do what is right in order to move the continent out of poverty.

20 years ago at around 5:30 am, Anambra lawmakers impeached Peter Obi because he refused to inflate the state budget and share public money with politicians. If you are criticizing this man on the internet I want you to sit down and think about that for a moment.

A governor was removed because he refused to spend money recklessly, refused to satisfy political godfathers and refused to turn public funds into a settlement for lawmakers.

They accused him of gross misconduct because he drove a Peugeot 406, bought furniture locally and spent far less than the hundreds of millions approved for renovating the Governor's office and Lodge. They thought they could force him out and end his political journey. They were wrong.

The courts overturned his impeachment, and the Supreme Court later reaffirmed his right to complete his constitutionally guaranteed tenure.

Twenty years have passed, but one thing remains clear, Peter Obi's refusal to share public money with the corrupt political class was enough to make him their sworn enemy.

There are very few politicians in Nigeria like Peter Obi and I strongly believe that God has given us another opportunity to get things right in this country. Nigerians, please, do not take this opportunity for granted.

Nigerians must learn from the US midterm elections and their results. Nigerians must take their destiny in their hands.

JUST IN: 🚨 THIS COUNTRY IS GONE. 💔

Politicians infiltrate the NYSC list with fake identities, sew NYSC uniforms for them, and deploy them as polling officials on Election Day.

Contrary to Joash Amupitan’s declaration; ELECTORAL LAW GIVES CANDIDATES THE RIGHT TO RECORD, MAKE A VIDEO OF FORM EC8A AND HAVE THEIR OWN SITUATION ROOM.

“We have eighteen candidates. They are free under the law to have their IReV,….situation room. They are free under the law to publicize, to report what INEC had officially under section twenty-five, because section twenty-five is a creation of an office, a distinction to be made between declaration of a winner and announcement of result.

Who now says that result that have been legally, officially announced by the presiding officer, that the party agent that are entitled to have that result cannot send it to their situation room? Who says that?”

— Mike Igini schools Joash Amupitan on electoral act.

Someone should tell PD-APC Segun Showunmi that publishing true election result is not a treasonable offence. Abiola declaring himself a parallel president to Abacha is different from publishing true election result to counter rigging.

We are not in a military rule.

After posting this video, dem don scatter

[Olusina Akeredolu @akeredolu2001]

If it is true that Segun Showunmi's wife has been appointed as a director of electoral operations at INEC, you can see why he is now shouting in favour of APC. I thought Segun Showunmi wanted to be governor of Ogun State via PDP platform come 2027.

Peter Obi’s Workout Video Goes Viral

NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi is trending after a video surfaced showing him powering through his morning treadmill session, and the timing could not be more deliberate. Just as Nigerians debate the stamina required for a full presidential campaign, Obi appears to be sending a very clear message: I am fit. I am ready. Nigeria will be OK.

A litre of fuel in Libya costs ₦32, while the minimum wage in the country is $208, which is roughly ₦276,000. In Saudi Arabia, a litre of fuel costs approximately ₦823, while the estimated monthly minimum wage is ₦1.4 million. Norway, another oil-producing country, provides its citizens with numerous benefits funded by the proceeds from its oil revenues. In Nigeria, however, the minimum wage is ₦70,000, while a litre of fuel costs between ₦1,300 and ₦1,900 in some places. That minimum wage amounts to a mere $52, a young chap flipping burgers at McDonald's in the US makes more than a Nigerian bank manager. Anyone earning ₦100,000 a month in Nigeria is still struggling to make ends meet and may be closer to the poverty line than their counterparts in these countries. But does the President care? How does he even sleep at night, knowing that millions of Nigerians are struggling to survive in a country blessed with abundant natural resources?

How @officialABAT's "reforms" took #Nigeria to the top of the #LeagueTable that truly matters....

[Olusina Akeredolu @akeredolu2001]

I want to appeal to my brother, Chris Nwokobia to stay with Peter Obi where his effort could be fruitful for 2027. Obi is not an orator but he has what it takes to turn things around.

FOREIGNERS BEATING NIGERIANS IN NIGERIA: A NATIONAL SHAME*

What we saw in that video of an Indian national beating two Nigerian truck drivers, Riliwan Olajide and Taiwo Yinusa, with the help of Nigerian thugs on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is not new. It is a pattern. And it is wrong.

How can a Nigerian be abused in Ghana, be abused in South Africa, be abused in Libya, be abused in India itself - and still come back to his father's land and be abused again by the same foreigners in his own country? Where then is safe for a Nigerian?

This is what happens when a government makes foreigners feel like gods and its own citizens feel like slaves.

Today in Nigeria, a Chinese man will slap a Nigerian worker in a factory in Ogun State and nothing happens. A Lebanese man will seize the passport of a Nigerian girl working in his restaurant and use her as a slave and nothing happens. An Indian factory owner in Lagos will flog his workers like animals and beat truck drivers with sticks using hired thugs and nothing happens.

Why? Because the government has told them, through its silence, that Nigerian lives do not matter.

A foreigner knows that if he beats a Nigerian, he will not be arrested. He knows he can call the police and the police will come to protect him, not the Nigerian. He knows he has money and our officials have hunger for money. So he does what he cannot try in his own country.

No Indian can beat a Chinese driver in India with Nigerian thugs and go free. No Lebanese can beat an American worker in America and still keep his business open the next day. But in Nigeria, anything is possible.

If government does not act on this Karma Agric Feed & Foods case, it is sending a message that it encourages this abuse. Because justice delayed is encouragement. Every day that man is still walking free, other foreign factory owners are learning that they too can beat Nigerians and nothing will happen.

Nigeria must not be a country where Nigerians are strangers. We cannot be unsafe in foreign lands and still be unsafe in the hands of foreigners in our father's land.

If a Nigerian breaks the law in India, India jails him. If a foreigner breaks the law in Nigeria, Nigeria must jail him too. That is what sovereignty means.

Until we start defending our own people on our own soil, no other nation will respect us outside.

Gov Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01 has shown Nigerians by his actions at the Tinubu campaign council inauguration today that those who lost their lives fighting for his mandate before his election all died in vain. God dey.

Soludo said Nigerian elite are in consensus for Bola Tinubu. So, it is going to be the elite versus the ordinary Nigerians in the 2027 elections.

[Olusina Akeredolu @akeredolu2001]

@ChidiOdinkalu Nigeria must get it right in the coming election. Integrity and good character must matter this time around.
