One thing I thought I could not do is be a surgeon and a politician at the same time but I have discovered something in life, which is there is always a way when there is determination.
It’s a whole lot of sacrifice though but I have now adjusted
So I am a surgeon & a politician. What a new title. Loll!!
I hope other professionals break this invisible ceiling and join politics
Doctor in the day and market woman at night!!. Anyways I have been combining this two lifestyles since 4years now and I have finally acclimatized.

His wave has more than doubled. He will win so much that INEC won't be able to manipulate the results. Nigerians are ready now more than ever. Every push will be met with a pushback. You think his popularity has waned? LOL. A hundred governors won't be able to save you!

There is a certain vulnerability that comes with the loss of a loved one. It changes one’s perspective on life and reminds us of what truly matters.

At such a time, I have been deeply grateful for the overwhelming love, encouragement, sympathy, and kindness shown to me and my family by relatives, friends, well-wishers, and members of my political family across various platforms.

I am particularly grateful to H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo, H.E. Atiku Abubakar, H.E. Rotimi Amaechi, H.E. Peter Obi, and H.E. Kashim Imam for their support, empathy, and comforting presence during this difficult period.

My sincere appreciation also goes to H.E. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, H.E. Obafemi Hamzat, Ken Pela, Olumide Akpata, and Jandor for extending a hand of kindness and standing with my family in our time of grief.

To my political family across multiple platforms, thank you for the warmth, prayers, and unwavering support you have extended to me and my family over the past two weeks. Your compassion has been a source of strength.

My mother’s greatest testament was the love she gave and the lives she touched within our family, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, across ECOWAS, in her church, and among her friends and extended family. Her legacy reminds me that the true measure of a life is not in what we accumulate, but in the love we share and the positive impact we make.

In her honour, I encourage each of us to love more deeply, to stand for what is right, and to make a positive difference wherever we have the opportunity.

Thank you all, and may God bless you abundantly.

I watched with disappointment the recent interview granted by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to Channels Television on Monday.

After a prolonged absence from public discourse, one would have expected that time away might have sharpened Senator Sheriff’s judgment. Regrettably, that does not appear to be the case.

In the interview, the former governor claimed that Peter Obi cannot command sizeable support in Northern Nigeria. It is curious that he has appointed himself spokesperson for the Northern masses. For the record, in his first outing on the presidential ballot, Mr. Obi secured approximately 2.8 million votes in the region — a remarkable achievement that cannot be dismissed lightly.

Given the current national hardships, the widespread consensus on the failure of the APC administration, and the addition of a strong Northern figure to the ticket who previously garnered 1.45 million votes in the region, the OK ticket remains a formidable force in Northern politics.

Even more surprising was Senator Sheriff’s assertion that the people of Kano would not vote for Mr. Obi. Let me state clearly: the good people of Kano are neither bigoted nor xenophobic. They have consistently demonstrated strong trust in the Kwankwasiyya movement and will support any credible ticket presented under its banner.

I respectfully advise Senator Sheriff that, in future national television appearances, he would do better to speak to the serious insecurity and humanitarian challenges facing his home state, rather than making divisive and poorly considered remarks.

The OK ticket currently represents the best opportunity for Nigerians to reset the country and place it on a path of competence, unity, and progress. - RMK

What many Nigerians don't know is that on the 22 of March 2022,

Terrorists attacked an ECWA church in Kwara and kindpaped 8 Christians, today, 5 of those people have died in captivity.

Since the Kidnap happened the Tinubu Government, the police or army could not rescue those Christians till today.

The pastor Rev. Sunday Omole begged the Tinubu government many times to help them, but they were ignored.

The church members had to raise 20million and deliver to the kidnappers, still they didn't release the victims.

This is in a country with a functional police and military and DSS.

And despite all these, the Tinubu Government was not able to track these Terrorists and rescue those victims.

Yesterday one of them Mr Sunday Bakare escaped and broke the sad news that 5 of them have died in captivity.

They are: Elder Chief David Omopariola, Chief Joseph Ibitoye Afariogun, Mrs. Iyabo Aniyi, Elder Joshua Akanbi Adeyemi, and Mrs. Rachel Oluwaremilekun Omole; the pastor's own wife

They were in captivity from March 22 till they died from suffering, torture and neglect.

The Tinubu government whose primary responsibility is to protect lives and property failed them.

This is the type of government that some people are saying we should vote for.

This is the future that is waiting for us all, if we make the mistake of allowing this government to continue.

If you claim that you don't vote and you are proud to say you don't care about politics or PVC, I want you to know that it is because of you that evil leaders can rig elections and get into power.

I need you to understand that it is because you don't vote, you don't speak up, you don't have PVC, that is why it is easy for them to rig.

They cant rig in places where millions of people come out to vote and defend their vote.

Once again, if we don't remove these people from power, what happened to those people can happen to anyone, you are not safer or better than them.

4 people were kidnapped from Kubwa in the FCT today.

Make that sacrifice today, go and get your PVC, stop making statements like "even if we vote they will still rig"

No, they rig because you are used to making such statements and staying at home on Elections day.

If everyone comes out to vote and defend their votes, there is no power on earth that can rig elections.

Drop you phone, tell your family and friends go out and get your PVC.

FISCAL RECKLESSNESS

With the announcement that the Nigerian Senate is likely to approve the 2026 National Budget on March 17, every Nigerian is asking an important question: which budget will Nigeria use this year? Will it be the budgets for 2023, 2024, 2025, or 2026, or some combination of all these years? It is worth noting that as of last year, in our government, implementation of budget items from the 2023, 2024, and 2025 budgets was in a unique approach to budgeting, which continues to perpetuate a trend of fiscal recklessness.

President Tinubu inherited a legally signed N21.83 trillion budget for 2023. A few months after taking office, he presented a N2.17 trillion supplementary budget that faced widespread criticism for prioritising benefits for public office holders at a time when Nigerians were enduring painful economic reforms without a credible social protection framework. Instead of restoring fiscal discipline, the President repeatedly expanded the 2023 budget without a clearly defined end date.

The pattern persisted with the passage of a N35.06 trillion budget for 2024 and a N54.99 trillion budget for 2025. In less than three years, President Tinubu has exercised appropriation powers over more than N114 trillion in public spending. Yet, the government has failed to achieve even fifty per cent budget implementation, exposing a profound crisis of budget credibility. Alarmingly, until mid-2025, Nigeria was effectively operating with about three overlapping budgets, without clear legal or fiscal guidance on when each one expired or began. No serious country manages its budgets or fiscal operations in such a manner.

Even more troubling is the government’s opaque decision to repeal the 2024 and 2025 budgets and re-enact them with extended implementation timelines. Nigerians have not seen these re-enacted budgets, and there is no public information regarding the specific capital projects included or their associated costs. This is not reform; it represents fiscal obscurity elevated to the level of state policy.

The proposed 2026 budget, despite still lacking critical details, indicates that the administration has no intention of addressing the structural weaknesses at the core of Nigeria’s public finance system.

This lack of transparency is not accidental; it reflects a deliberate pattern of undermining public scrutiny and debate. The Federal Government has stopped publishing treasury reports on the https://t.co/5LPWiKwodE portal, dismantling a vital transparency framework inherited from the previous administration. In 2025, no budget implementation report was released, regardless of how poor the performance was!

No nation can operate with such recklessness and succeed.

Every effort must be made to quickly return Nigeria to the January-December budget cycle that was inherited and mismanaged by the current government. This change would enhance effective planning and tracking, promote transparency and accountability, and foster sustainable growth and development.

It is both tragic and concerning that our leaders continue to prioritize waste, corruption, propaganda, lies, and negative aspects of development over positive initiatives.

Recently, it was reported that $9 million of taxpayers' money was spent on lobbyists in Washington, which I believe is just a small fraction of the global waste occurring in the same manner. This situation aligns with the disgraceful state of Nigeria.

This is merely a small example of wasteful spending that has contributed to our nation’s current failing status. To further illustrate the impact of such waste, we can look at a critical measure of development: the Human Development Index (HDI). Nigeria has remained stagnant in the low HDI category for 35 years, from 1990 to 2025. In contrast, comparable nations within the same low category, such as China—where Nigeria had a three-fold higher per capita income in 1990—and Indonesia have advanced from low to medium, and now to high categories.

The achievements of these nations were not the result of fate, miracles, or natural endowments, but rather a consequence of choices and the cumulative effects of good and bad leadership. This underscores the importance of prioritization.

To explain further the implications of the $9 million expenditure, let’s consider the components of HDI: life expectancy (health), education, and per capita income (poverty). Nigeria is failing in all three measures. For instance, regarding health, let's examine the $9 million, which is approximately ₦14 billion spent wrongly. Nigeria now has the lowest life expectancy in the world and ranks among the top two countries globally for maternal mortality, making childbirth one of the most precarious experiences for Nigerian women. Instead of investing in life-saving systems, we spend millions trying to obscure our failures.

Our key medical centers are teaching hospitals, and I will use six—one from each geopolitical zone of Nigeria—to illustrate this failure. For the 2024 capital budget for teaching hospitals, which remains operational today, the allocations are as follows: ₦2.67 billion to the University College Hospital, Ibadan (South-West), ₦2.46 billion to Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria (North-West), ₦2.8 billion to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu (South-East), ₦2.43 billion to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City (South-South), ₦1.16 billion to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin (North-Central), and ₦2.37 billion to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri (North-East), totaling ₦13.9 billion for our premier medical centers.
The $9 million spent on foreign lobbyists could have been used wisely to purchase essential hospital equipment for Nigerian hospitals, improving our healthcare capabilities and positively influencing our national image.

This $9 million is sufficient to fund the entire 2024 capital budget for at least one major teaching hospital in each zone, directly enhancing survival rates, care, and life expectancy. The funds are available; what is lacking are prioritization, discipline, and effective leadership.

This situation is unacceptable. Every naira of taxpayers' money should serve the Nigerian people. Instead, citizens are dying in failing hospitals while the government pays foreigners to pretend that everything is fine. We cannot continue to live in an illusion while our reality deteriorates. This constant prioritization of trivial matters must come to an end.

@PeterObi The truth is always bitter to those who tell lies, like the present government of Nigeria. May the sufferings of the masses, energize them to fight for the soul of our country Nigeria, sooner than later. So help us God.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

APC Government Policies and style have impoverished Several million Nigerians in Just Two Years.

The World Bank report, released on October 8, 2025, shows that a staggering 139 million Nigerians are now living in poverty, an alarming increase from the 87 million Nigerians living below the poverty line reported in 2023, when Tinubu was sworn in as President.
What this means is that in two years under the watch of the APC regime, over 50 million Nigerians were sent into poverty. This is a heartbreaking reflection of how deeply our nation is failing its citizens.

What is even more concerning is that this devastating revelation has not led to an emergency and national discussion on how to effectively pull millions of our people out of poverty, but instead caused a rebuttal from the government, when the news already reflects the daily struggles of the ordinary Nigerian.

The World Bank also revealed that despite the many celebrated reforms, the number of Nigerians living in poverty is rising, worsening Nigeria's position as the most poverty-stricken nation in the world.
The reasons these reforms are not working are due to the lack of a clear plan and a lack of determination to channel the supposed gains into feasible and productive areas that will benefit the people and improve overall growth.

Reforms must be deliberate and strictly followed by people-focused policies that prioritise production over consumption, support small businesses and farmers, invest in education and healthcare, and ensure that government spending directly impacts the lives of Nigerians by pulling them out of poverty.

No nation can truly rise when the majority of its people are trapped in poverty. With the right leadership, we can make Nigeria work for every Nigerian.

Yesterday 4th October evening in Washington DC, I addressed members of the Nigeria Friendship Association, a group of professionals that began nearly 30 years ago when many of them were younger and studying in the United States. Today, they are accomplished professionals, mostly living around Washington DC, the Maryland, and Virginia Area (DMV) and beyond. What struck me most about them is their unwavering commitment to education, which they have supported consistently over the years, both in the U.S. and back home in Nigeria.

Education remains the most vital investment any nation can make in its future. With over 24 million out-of-school children, the highest number in the world, Nigeria has over 24 million reasons to fear what lies ahead if we fail to act and address education. No nation grows beyond the quality of its human capital, and education is the foundation for building that capital.

In a time when Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of work and innovation, education is no longer optional, it is essential for daily life. We must equip our young people with the knowledge and skills to compete globally, not just to survive but to lead. The efforts of associations like the Nigeria Friendship Association give hope that together, we can rebuild Nigeria through learning, compassion, and collective action.
