“In my lifetime in Nigeria, I have never seen a Nigerian politician come out and say that, as a former governor, he left money behind, built over 800 kilometers of roads, elevated his state’s education from last to top, and since leaving office has not taken a pension or any benefits attached to being a former governor.
Or that the reason he was impeached was because he refused to pad a budget that was supposed to be used for renovations. Something they wanted to do for billions of naira, he did for less than ₦400 million.
To top it off, neither the ruling party that has a record of intimidating and blackmailing their opponents with their looting/corruption records, nor the EFCC, one of the most biased & corrupt institutions in Nigeria, has found anything significant to use against him. I have never seen such a leader in Nigerian history.”
His name is Peter Obi‼️
Sycophancy pays more in today’s Nigeria than hard work, competence, or integrity.
That is not the kind of society our children should grow up in.
It is horrible.
A nation cannot progress when loyalty to individuals is rewarded more than merit, excellence, and truth.
This generation must put a stop to it.
Growing up, I believed elders were naturally wiser, more honest, and more responsible.
What I’m seeing in Nigeria today has taught me that age and wisdom are not the same thing.
Character, integrity, and competence do not come with grey hair. They come from values.
The government was busy pardoning terrorists and reintegrating them into society on the same day a retired Major General was killed in captivity, with the fate of his wife still uncertain.
There is no greater proof of complicity than this.
It’s dangerous telling people they “need” luck or grace to succeed. It leaves room for manipulation by pastors.
Luck and grace are outside your control. You can’t pray them into existence. What you can do is prepare. Because luck determines which opportunity appears but preparation determines whether you can capitalize on it.
If you have no skill in engineering and you get luckily picked for an engineering job, you’re still going to fail at it.
So focus on what you can control. Your effort, skills, and discipline. Let luck take care of itself.
