Nigeria #presidential election 2027
Finally, former Vice President of Nigeria Alhaji Atiku Abubakar have stepped down for His Excellency Mr Peter Gregory Obi.
Atiku Abubakar have earned the respect of millions of Nigerians and people all over the globe for this singular gasture, and his name will be written in gold and marble.
What a great sacrifice, posterity will remember him forever.
Meet Nnenna, first woman to produce 2 elected governors of same state
Mrs. Nnenna Esther Adeleke (née Akpara) is the only Nigerian woman whose two sons became elected governors of the same state at different times. She also produced a billionaire entrepreneur among others.
👉 Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke was the first elected civilian Governor of Osun State.
👉 Ademola Adeleke is the current Governor of Osun State.
Nnenna was also the mother of Adedeji Adeleke, billionaire businessman and founder of Adeleke University. Adedeji is also the father of Nigerian musician Davido.
Originly from Akwete, Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia State, she was married to Senator Ayoola Adeleke, a prominent politician from Ede, Osun State.
Yoruba bigots are now questioning the Filipina woman, asking her why she sings Igbo songs, if she is Igbos instead singing her country's songs. One was even telling her that Igbo songs makes no sense. See People we are sharing same country with.
Some Igbo people don’t know the difference between Omenala, Ọdịbend���, Ọdịnala, and Ewumewu.
Although they are closely related, they are not the same.
1. Omenala (Culture)
The general way of life of a people, their language, food, clothing, beliefs, customs, and social practices.
2. Ọdịbendị (Custom)
The distinctive customs and practices that give a community or group its unique identity.
3. Ọdịnala / Ọdịnanị (Tradition)
Ancestral beliefs, values, and practices passed down through generations.
4. Ewumewu (Institutions)
The social institutions and communal practices that organise and strengthen society, including age grades, festivals, assemblies, and ceremonies.
Together, they reflect the depth, richness, and organisation of Igbo society.
Understanding them is an important step towards preserving our heritage.
This was a rare emotional moment when a little boy refused to let go. The boy cried throughout their time together, even as Peter Obi was ready to leave Parklane in Enugu State.
This is what sets him apart. His natural affinity with the rich & the poor, the young & the old.
There is an aura that precedes him. It filters in & sort of remains in the air. Everywhere he goes, people follow him. They embrace him, as if he is one of them. They see hope, as if he is the deliverer. But he is just a man. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot conjure what it takes.

Had to edit more than eight minutes of screams out…. The struggle was real!
“Do You Have Hospitals? Do You Have Good Roads? What Is Working In Nigeria? You Don’t Even Have Light. Reform The Police, Decentralize The Supreme Court, They Refuse. Remove The Quota System, They Say No. They Don’t Want Competition. How Then Can You Develop? That’s What They’re Afraid Of Biafra. I Told Them To Give Me Biafra And Let Them See What We Can Do. Why Are You People Afraid Of Biafra? They Know We Are Talented And They Know We Have Everything It Takes To Create a Dynamic, Vibrant, Advanced Economy In The Black World. That Is What They Do Not Want. That’s Why There’s A Global Conspiracy Against Us.” ~ Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
This Statement From Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Touches On Deep Frustrations Many Nigerians Feel About The State Of Basic Infrastructure And Governance. He Links The Refusal To Reform Key Systems, Police, Judiciary, And The Quota Arrangement To a Broader Fear Of Competition And Self-Determination.
Whether One Agrees With The Biafra Call Or Not, The Underlying Questions Remain Valid: Why Have Basic Services Like Electricity, Hospitals, And Roads Remained Broken For So Long? Why Is There Resistance To Policies That Could Encourage Merit And Healthy Competition? These Conversations Will Continue As Long As The Gap Between Potential And Reality Stays This Wide. The Real Challenge Is Turning Strong Words Into Practical Solutions That Improve Lives On The Ground.
@PO_GrassRootM This's just the plain truth sir. Nigerian judiciary is dead. All the judges in Nigeria are devil's children & they must bear the consequences.
@engrICO2015 Hatred will kill u & ur generation for saying this nonsense. Obi won the 2023 presidential election which tinubu bought from inec & the court approved it. This time, God will disappoint all of u idiots who doesn't want Nigeria to move forward. U're the devil pastor.
Everyone eating yam in Nigeria today should be grateful to Ndi Igbo. 🍠
In ancient Igbo societies, the Igbo people used their knowledge of iron smelting to make tools for cultivating yams.
They cultivated yams in large quantities and traded them with neighbouring communities.
The Hausa have long referred to the Igbo as “Baban Doya” the father of yam, reflecting the Igbo people’s strong association with yam cultivation and trade.
The Igbos have a yam deity/spirit known as Njoku Ji, and they celebrate the New Yam Festival, one of the important cultural traditions in Igbo land.
Traditionally, every Igbo household had a yam barn, known as Ọba Ji. The number of yams a man had in his yam barn indicated his success, wealth, and ability to provide for his family.
The yam barn served as a report card of a man’s achievements for the year.
Yam is not just a crop in Igbo land. It is the King of Crops and a symbol of wealth, prosperity, hard work and abundance.
Many Igbo families still maintain yam barns today, and many Igbo communities continue to cultivate yams in large quantities for both consumption and commercial purposes.
Yam is deeply woven into Igbo culture, economy and tradition.
