I have been asking for facts all day that USAID funds bokoharam and all I keep hearing is Rufai fall my hand. Wetin be my own give me facts and I believe you. I support facts not lies. I condemn America. I believe America has committed way too many crimes in the world with people like Kissinger. All I want is facts not speculation. Give me facts. Also I don’t really want to be popular. So if you disappointed in me for asking for facts then you are on your own. All I want is show me the evidence that USAID funds bokoharam.

@BiluluCharles@ruffydfire You are so on point on that matter of us being so corrupt in spite of our religious shows. We are so lawless that to obey ordinary traffic lights is a problem. Na who do us?
I have taken the time to listen to those who criticize Mr. Peter Obi and have followed up on their comments. When they speak, I notice that their approach consistently focuses on dragging him down and grouping him under the same roof of those who have ruined the country with corruption and bad governance.
Now, let us agree and consider for a moment with those who have grouped and label him under the same roof as just another corrupt politician. Mr @PeterObi is said to be corrupt, but even with the labels let me try to differenciate and ask some fundamental questions. Mr Peter Obi was singled out by Abraham Nwankwo, the then DG of Debt Management Office as the only governor who never came to their office to request for approval to borrow money, therefore never borrowed. He was recognized as the most prudent governor by the then finance minister. The global measurements of development in 2000 - 2015 was MDGs and he was number 1 in the country. He took Anambra State from low rank in education to number 1. Took health care to number 1 in the country as well. The ministry of works awarded him as the number 1 with the most constructed road networks. Poverty alliiavtion under Magnus Kpakol acknowledged him as number 1. International donor agencies rated him as the first to pay his counterpart funds. He never owed gratuity or pension and actually cleared the backlogs of what he met on ground. And started the first sub-national savings in the country- Remarkably, left a balance of about ₦75 billion, including $150 million in foreign currency amongst other notable things he did.
Mr. @PeterObi refused to sign the pension law for governors, which is why he consistently asserts that Anambra State has not even bought him a bottle of water, nor has he received any land allocation, directly or indirectly. Additionally, he continues to visit, every month, at least 4 to 5 institutions—schools, hospitals, and farms run by voluntary agencies—and I have accompanied him on several of these visits. Over the past decade, he has visited at least 1,000 schools, donating more than ₦5 billion—funds he could have easily used to acquire property in a prime location in Abuja, where he owns none.
Mr. @PeterObi is often labeled as corrupt, which is fair criticism to consider. However, the real question is: can others achieve what he has done and continues to do? How many of our past and current leaders can claim a similar legacy of substantial savings, timely salary payments, responsible pension management, and consistent support to schools and health institutions—even a decade after leaving office? He has continued to visit and donate millions to these institutions long after his tenure. I only wish others would follow the same path so they, too, could be judged and grouped in the same category.
My question is: who among today's leaders, including the paymasters of those whose sole aim is to bring him down, can be compared to him or lives as he does?
A new Nigeria is POssible!

God gave Nigeria this man. Nigerians did the work. We sang, we donated, & we campaigned vigorously for him. He won, but the criminals in INEC & the Judiciary had other ideas. Now the result is out. Nigerians from all tribes, all parties & all religions are learning their lessons.
Losing just one of these 6 seats would be a catastrophic blow to our Senate majority. From Montana to Nevada, Democratic candidates need our support to combat far-right challengers. Could you spare $24 to defend our narrow majority?
Dear Labour Party supporters and motivated Obidients, we are taking over Edo, Ondo and Anambra State.
We will build the biggest grassroot, organic and spirited structure ahead of 2027.
We will end the structure of criminality and corruption.

Dear Yoruba Obidients,
There are two distinct groups among the Igbos:
1. The Obidient Igbos: These are the overwhelming majority who truly desire good leadership and a better Nigeria. They want freedom through peaceful means and seek a country where fairness and justice prevail. They are tired of oppression, not just for their people but for all Nigerians. These Obidient Igbos are our allies in the fight for a just nation, where leadership is about competence and integrity, not tribe or favoritism. They share the same goals and values as we do: to see a Nigeria that works for everyone, regardless of ethnicity.
2. The Simon Ekpa Supporters: This group consists of brainwashed individuals, many of whom are ill-informed and driven by destructive ideologies. They support violence against their fellow Igbos in the name of freedom, which is contradictory to their cause of independence. Instead of holding the current Tinubu regime accountable, they focus on abusing Yorubas and other tribes. They are often younger and misguided, with a louder presence due to their joblessness, but they remain the minority.
Yoruba Obidients must not descend to the level of these misguided individuals. Recognize the difference, stay focused on the real goal: electing a leader—regardless of tribe—who will represent all Nigerians and end the suffering caused by the current regime.
