VIDEO: I don’t think the message is the problem, I think it’s the messenger. You have a problem with the messenger First Lady and by extension, her husband, the president — Lady fire Obidiot Olodo Uprising 👇🔥😳
Many Nigerians are what can rightly be called “educated illiterates.” The recent video of the First Lady has sparked widespread reactions, exposing the depth of ignorance that still exists in our country.
The First Lady was not addressing those with formal education. She was speaking directly to women in the informal sector; the poor, hardworking women in rural and semi-urban areas, encouraging them to start small and take advantage of the grants being provided to support their businesses.
Let us be honest: not every university, polytechnic, or college graduate ends up working in the formal sector. Many highly educated individuals have gone into business and are making substantial profits.
Schooling alone does not guarantee success.
Some of the most successful people in our society never completed formal education, yet they demonstrate more wisdom and common sense than many degree holders.
It is time we started thinking differently. The informal sector is the true backbone of the Nigerian economy.
Businesses that many look down on like frying akara, roasting yam, selling provisions, tailoring, hairdressing, and other small-scale enterprises are what keep the economy alive. They provide livelihoods for millions, drive local commerce, and form the foundation of our economic resilience.
Nigeria must deliberately empower and integrate the informal sector rather than romanticise only white-collar jobs.
May God grant us citizens who will stop despising humble beginnings, embrace hard work, and recognise the dignity in every honest business.
Let me post it again just to IRRITATE the demons inside you that's always against ORDINARY NIGERIANS.....
First Lady in this Video said she gave Billions to certain set....
She gave a Billion to another set...
She gave N500 million to another set....
She gave Billions towards NITDA and ICT, people in OAU Ife can confirm this as we speak....
She gave also for people doing Akara Business, Corn Business and the likes....
You people have no issue with money given for ICT, NITDA, Breast Cancer, TB etc...But you have problem with the GRANT money given to ordinary Nigerians selling Akara, Kulikuli, Corn, Tomatoes etc....
What is the offence of ordinary Nigerians that you don't want them to get anything from govt, ARE YOU PEOPLE THAT DEMONIC?
@Yemmytee@Yemo247 Did you say software development class? You mean she should have enrolled that woman hawking groundnuts, with 3 children to feed in a software development class? I give up on you people. Y’all are beyond redemption!
@Habibsuleiman1@Yemo247 The cost of living is going down! Change is a process, it takes time. All developed nations have gone through this same process. Process has never been easy!
@KennyRosky7773@thatjosephodeh@Yemo247 Your poverty stinks to high heavens! Even your thinking is poor! It’s bad enough to be poor economically but to be brain poor is the worst that can happen to any human being!
The Ebi ń pawás brigade would rather stop road construction and demand instant food palliatives. Destructive Mentality!
Nation-building is not a magic show. Is a no pain - no gain affairs.

Before Tinubu became president how many people were in multidimensional poverty? How did you come to the number you quoted? Was Tibubu ybe cause of this so called multidimensional poverty? Tinubu is working hard to fix tbe myriads of problems in the country but blind hateful bigots can never see the good he is doing!
“First Lady Tinubu wasn’t referring to those who are already established and comfortable or on average comfort, she is referring to those who lack totally and possibly begging to feed. She says if she can give you N50k-N70k to start doing petty trade, that may save you from the agony of lack and street begging which is very true but look at the way hypocrites are turning her good gesture…”
This is the true definition of EDUCATION. As always seen in the summary section of WAEC Exam in those days “what is the central idea of this passage?”
See how a so called “illiterate” is lecturing educated illiterates whose knowledge has drowned in the ocean of social media trend!
@OjyOkpe and the entire @ARISEtv crew on “What’s Trending” and “The Morning Show” are a bunch of government hating hypocrites! They see nothing good in anything that @officialABAT is doing to constructively change Nigeria. @abati1990 still tries to be balance, probably due to the fact that he has been a government spokesperson before. But it’s shameful and disgraceful that the whole @ARISEtv crew are nothing but antigovernment propagandists! In a democracy one would expect the free press to be neutral and balanced in their reporting.
It’s actually quite shameful that you are telling these lies and creating a bad impression of government efforts. Only the gullibles will eat this nonsense up. I am very sure you know the truth about all the efforts government is making you just choose to be political. Continue. I hope you have dual citizenship, this Nigeria is the only home some of us have. Continue to put down your country for the sake of your daily hustle.
Let’s bring back the time Mr. Utomi was honest, with no political bias and under no political or election pressure—“Lagos got lucky when they got the man Bola Tinubu” and so has Nigeria gotten lucky 🇳🇬
I watched this video of Hon. Ben Nwankwo, and honestly, I wept for Ndigbo.
The man drove home a point so forcefully and convincingly that it was impossible to ignore. He made it abundantly clear that the reality of Nigerian politics is far different from what many people in the South-East have chosen to believe.
His first message was simple but profound: a President can be elected in Nigeria without the political support of the South-East. In other words, the region alone neither possesses the electoral strength to install a President nor the capacity to prevent one from emerging.
Whether people like to hear it or not, that is the political reality he laid bare.
His second message was even more striking. He drew a clear distinction between being influential and being loud.
According to him, influence is the ability to shape outcomes, build alliances, negotiate interests and command political relevance. Noise, on the other hand, is merely making the loudest headlines and dominating social media conversations without translating any of that energy into tangible political results or If Igbo man have some pieces of money they begin to fly Private Jets, drive Royce Rolls, it is being loud and the next you see is convoy that is not influence but loud.
That point hit me particularly hard because many people have confused noise for influence. They assume that because a group is vocal, it automatically means it is politically powerful. The two are not the same. A region can trend daily on social media and still lack the political leverage required to achieve its objectives.
Sadly, some people in the South-East have convinced themselves that the path to producing a President lies in emotional rhetoric, ethnic solidarity alone and constant agitation. Meanwhile,the few voices within the region calling for strategic political engagement, alliance-building and reintegration into the mainstream political process are often attacked, insulted and bullied into silence.
The truth is that politics is a game of numbers, negotiation, relationships and influence not emotion.
If Pres Bola Tinubu were not a nationalist in his approach to governance, many of the major road and infrastructure projects currently ongoing in the South-East could easily have been redirected to regions that overwhelmingly supported him politically. He was fully aware that the South-East largely voted for their brother Peter Obi, in the 2023 election. Yet those projects were not abandoned.
That fact reinforces the point made by Hon. Ben Nwankwo. During the election, the South-East overwhelmingly voted for their own son, Peter Obi. However, Tinubu still emerged President without winning the region. Whether one likes it or not, that reality demonstrates that political success in Nigeria is built through broad national coalitions and strategic alliances rather than regional sentiment alone.
He retairated by saying the Igbos can't help and they can't hinder.
In my view, one of the major reasons the South-East continues to struggle politically at the national level is the tendency to place ethnic considerations above broader political realities. Politics has become overly centered on tribal interests instead of building the nationwide partnerships required to secure influence at the highest levels.
No region can isolate itself politically and still expect to dominate national politics.
Influence is earned through engagement, negotiation, coalition-building, and strategic participation.
Hon. Ben Nwankwo's message was uncomfortable, but sometimes the most uncomfortable truths are the ones that need to be heard the most. Until more people begin to distinguish between being influential and merely being loud, the South-East may continue to find itself making plenty of noise while achieving very little politically.
