We genuinely underestimate what Tunde Ednut is doing on Instagram. Singlehandedly holding down the forte, on there.
Imagine someone like him decides to form apolitical.
Nigeria has decayed too far for anyone to sit on a fence - that is how you utilize your influence.
We support both Obi and Makinde.
Yes, all our southwestern brothers, the ones who would not vote Obi should kindly vote Seyi Makinde another competent guy on the ballot aside Obi.
End.
Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Obi is not ready to give delegates money to elect him as the presidential candidate of a party.
And he knows that if he goes for such primaries, he won't win.
He wants to become president without inducing people financially.
That's a man that wants to lead.
Not oppress.
End.
@idk_Precious@Bond_not_james@AfricaIka90 No wahala, very fine.
But he, like many men, wants a woman that cooks. It's within his right to want what he wants, right?
Nobody is forcing the woman. Just let her not complain to have been used when he walks away. Clear enough?
If you like be non-partisan.
If you like, write a 35 page epistle.
Let me break down what Obidients have said and what we will stand by come what may:
1. Our support is for Peter Gregory Obi as President and not any political party or any other positon.
2. Anything contrary, we withdraw and even Obi himself will be shocked!
End!
You’re not wrong, and it’s not even about sentiment anymore, it’s about trajectory.
In 2023, Peter Obi was largely a movement powered by belief, youth energy, and protest votes.
By 2027, he becomes something far more dangerous to the establishment, a validated alternative.
Why? Because elections are not just won by popularity, they are won by comparison.
And Nigerians are now living the comparison in real time.
Since 2023, what has the average Nigerian experienced?
1. A currency that has lost significant value
2. Inflation that has eroded real incomes
3. Rising cost of living without matching wage growth
4. Businesses struggling under FX instability
5. Increased borrowing without visible proportional impact on productivity
These are not abstract numbers, they are lived realities.
This is where Obi’s 2023 message becomes more potent in 2027.
Back then, many dismissed him as “theoretical” or “too prudent.” But after years of economic pressure, fiscal discipline, production-led growth, and cost efficiency no longer sound like theories. They sound like solutions people wish they had chosen earlier.
Politically, he also benefits from structure this time.
In 2023:
- weak grassroots penetration in some regions
- limited party machinery
- first-time national coalition
By 2027:
- expanded base beyond urban youth
- stronger grassroots networks
- lessons learned from electoral gaps
- more strategic coalition-building
Movements evolve. Structures win elections. He is building both.
And perhaps most importantly, the emotional wave of 2023 becomes a rational decision in 2027.
People don’t just vote with hope anymore, they vote with experience. So yes, if current conditions persist,
Peter Obi in 2027 won’t just be a candidate.
He will be a consequence.
AI Made it Possible
Yesterday I wrote about a quiet shift in my life: moving from fast running to a slower jog-and-walk routine. What I did not say clearly enough is this: AI made that transition possible.
I am a data-driven person. For over fifteen years, I have been collecting information about myself the way a careful archivist collects manuscripts. My annual medical tests from 2009 sit neatly in my library.
My watch records my steps, sleep, and heart rate. My running data stretches across years of kilometres, pace charts, and training logs.
When you gather that much data about your own life, you become a believer, almost in the religious sense, not in superstition, but in evidence.
So when Nigerians offer unsolicited advice, and we are world champions at that, I usually smile.
Someone says, “This running is too much, your knees will suffer.” Another warns, “At your age, your heart cannot take this level of exercise.”
I nod politely. After all, I have my X-rays. My ECG results. Years of cardiology reports from some of Nigeria's best doctors. The numbers tell their own story.
But the beauty of a rational believer is this: you submit to superior evidence when it appears.
Recently, I uploaded fifteen years of my personal health and fitness data to an AI platform. What came back was remarkable.
The system analysed patterns across my runs, medical tests, and sleep and recovery data that human eyes had missed.
It confirmed my strong fitness profile. My VO₂ max is high. My 2025 heart results were better than some earlier years.
My blood sugar, cholesterol and blood counts all told a reassuring story.
Then the AI asked a simple question: What is your goal—fitness for ego or longevity?
I said longevity. Its response was blunt: “Then you are on the wrong path.”
Using my own data, it showed how sustained high-intensity running at my pace — about 5:45 per kilometre — could create long-term stress as I approach sixty.
It flagged the interaction between fasting, high-intensity exercise, low protein intake and hormonal balance. It mapped the trajectory clearly.
Evidence changed my mind and modified my behaviour.
And that experience left me with a larger thought.
If AI can analyse 15 years of one man’s life and offer clarity, imagine what it can do for a city, a school, a local government, a state, or a federal agency.
While I support stronger AI governance and regulation and largely agree with Yuval Harari about the dangers, I am also convinced that AI can leapfrog Africa.
Let's imagine a city digitising building approvals and actual completion in every neighbourhood, and linking them to school capacity, hospital access, boreholes, generators, and water demand — all layered together.
Imagine how transformational that data will be on city management. That is governance powered by intelligence available on a desktop, not by expensive consultants.
For Africa, AI may be our leapfrog moment.
Listening to Dr Miller at the Athena Centre-US Embassy workshop on AI in education, I agree with her that AI is Africa's moment.
The train is already moving. The real question is whether Africa will get on it in time.
I am on the train, and it is transforming my life.

Nigeria needs a hospital rating system that assesses and compares hospital quality based on measures like mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience, and care timeliness.
