@ARISEtv@channelstv This doesn't speak well of the current leadership of +234! This is more than enough for any public office holder to resign while a truly functional parliament will commence investigations or impeachment, if the said public office holder fails to resign.
PRESIDENT TINUBU GOES ON HOLIDAY AGAIN
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again left Nigeria for another holiday, this time beginning a three-week vacation in Europe.
Nigeria is in deep crisis. Nigerians can barely afford food and transportation. Insecurity is ravaging communities, and thousands of children are unable to access education because of insecurity.
Just days ago, about 600 Nigerians, predominantly women, children, and the elderly, were reportedly abducted during Juma’at prayers in Niger State.
Yet, at this critical moment, the President has left the country for another holiday.
According to reports, government expenditure on presidential trips and related travel expenses between June 2023 and April 2026 amounted to about ₦37.64 billion, with the President spending approximately 261 days outside Nigeria.
Meanwhile, only ₦36 million was reportedly released to the Federal Ministry of Health in 2025, despite a capital allocation of ₦218 billion, in a country of over 230 million people.
This is the calamity befalling our country today.
A government that can spend tens of billions on presidential travel while critical sectors remain starved of funds, and Nigerians are asked to endure worsening hardship, must not be allowed to continue.
Leadership is about priorities.
When citizens cannot feed their families, move safely, access healthcare, send their children to school, or sleep peacefully in their homes, the President should be more concerned about fixing the country than repeatedly leaving it.
I look forward to a Nigeria where our President can vacation in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Cross River State, Bauchi, Ebonyi, and many other destinations across our country.
The President of Nigeria should be the chief marketer of Nigeria as a tourism destination, as other comparable countries do.
Imagine the economic possibilities if our leaders, celebrities, business communities, and citizens travelled within Nigeria more frequently.
Tourism creates jobs. It supports hospitality, transportation, agriculture, entertainment, crafts, and small businesses. It brings investment and foreign exchange and allows communities to benefit directly from their natural and cultural assets.
We cannot continue to export our wealth and import our pleasures while our own enormous potential remains neglected.
We deserve leadership that puts Nigeria first; leadership that cares and plans for a better Nigeria. That is the kind of leadership that the partnership between H.E. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and me will bring.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Frame 1: Rotimi Amaechi, Atiku’s VP, present on Day 1 of the Global Crusade at Deeper Life Bible Church, in Abuja. Pastor Kumuyi brought him up to the altar.
Frame 2: Amaechi at the 2026 Catholic Men’s Guild Conference, in Lagos. He was recognized and brought to the altar too.
Unfortunately, the congregations at both programmes paid him little attention and gave him no cheers.
On both occasions, Atiku’s supporters cheered Amaechi as an astute politician, and the so-called neutralists stayed mute.
Peter Obi appeared at the Koinonia and got the usual electrifying applause and cheers, and everywhere caught fire.🔥 Even the so-called neutralists, whom I consider despicably mischievous, came for Apostle Selman’s head for calling Obi upstage.
You political jobbers and paid influencers are worse humans than the cr!minal politicians holding down this country.✍️
2027: THE OPPOSITION IS FINALLY GETTING SERIOUS BUT PETER OBI CHANGES THE EQUATION
Something important happened in Abuja on Monday, August 31, 2026.
Six opposition parties — ADC, APM, NDC, PDP, PRP & SDP agreed to begin structured negotiations towards a united opposition front for the 2027 elections.
The parties met at the G100 First Summit of Party Leaders and agreed to work together on some of Nigeria’s biggest problems, including insecurity and the rising cost of living.
More importantly, they established three joint coalition organs covering leadership, publicity and legal strategy.
They also created five specialised working groups, giving them four weeks to produce key documents, including:
• A framework for opposition unity
• A national reform programme
• A roadmap for selecting a single presidential candidate
They also called on US authorities to process & release official records concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that are currently the subject of Freedom of Information proceedings in Washington.
That is significant.
But here is where I become controversial: A coalition is only as powerful as the candidate Nigerians are willing to rally behind.
And pretending that Peter Obi is not central to this conversation would be political dishonesty.
You can bring six parties together. You can create committees. You can write communiqués. You can hold another 50 meetings.
But if the final arrangement produces another candidate that Nigerians are not excited about, the coalition will become just another Abuja political project.
2027 cannot be about politicians negotiating who gets what.
It has to be about who can actually mobilise Nigerians, especially young voters, frustrated voters and people who have completely lost faith in the old political order.
That is why my position remains unpopular but very simple:
PETER OBI OR NOTHING.
If the opposition is genuinely serious about winning 2027, let them put every ego, entitlement and political calculation on the table.
Choose the candidate with the strongest national appeal.
Choose the candidate Nigerians can actually believe in.
Otherwise, this “coalition” will just be another meeting where politicians successfully unite to lose separately.
This man is using my taxes to try to block the US from releasing his book of crime.
I will seriously learn how to legally avoid taxes as long as he remains in office
@enitandev@PeterObi Put your money where you mouth is. He who asserts must prove. Your corn masters are in office in full charge of government apparatchik! Go prove your case and stop farming engagement.
👉One is a verifiable business man with tract records of integrity and capacity
👉The other is mixed with various shaddy dealings and unverifiable source of wealth
👉One said, go and verify every records and credentials about my past life from childhood to this day
👉The other is paying million of dollars to conceal his past records and prevent the FBI from releasing the records
But you, Adekunle from Ijebu, Chukwunnaya from Abakaliki, Umarudeen from Zaria still feels the credible man with verifiable track records and credentials isn't good enough for you
Put your hands on your head, say... MY FATHER MY FATHER, MY MUMU TOO MUCH, heal me from this CONFUSION 🙏
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.

“Nigerians, You Buy Fuel For ₦1,300, You Buy Gas For ₦1,400, You Buy Cement ₦13,000–₦14,000 Per Bag. Then On Election Day, You Get To Your Polling Unit And Decide It’s Tinubu You Want To Vote For. That Means The Juju That Was Used On You, Even a Spiritual Father Won’t Be Able To Deliver You. If The Suffering We Have Endured In The Past 3 Years Doesn’t Hit You Hard, And You Don’t Hold Your PVC Like Your Life Depends On It, That Means Your Problem Is Bigger Than Me.” ~ Man Reacts To The Upcoming 2027 Presidential Election.
@EkeneAninze Question is: Who/what deceived him, then UNN Student Union leader on scholarship funded by the Eastern Regional Government, to embark on such quest in the first place? Obviously, he was used by the forces who never wanted long lasting peace & stability in the region till date.
@TrendfusionNG God bless you @TreandfusionNG real good for this these truths you've put out here. When conscience dies in man he ceases being in existence as a human being but a lesser being, equal to but no more than, a beast. Anybody excusing a scandalous issue as this is quite a tragedy.
Celebrating My Eldest Brother at 75
Today, 30th August 2026, I celebrate my eldest brother, Dominic Ositadimma Obi, who turns 75. I celebrate him not merely because he is my elder brother or because of his age, but because he is an exemplary human being.
When I was Governor of Anambra State for eight years, he never came to my office or the Governor’s Lodge for a day seeking favours, as many might have expected. He is a planner and contractor who builds homes for people, yet not once did he ask me for a government contract.
Whenever we met, he would warmly embrace me and tell me that he was fine. He would then solemnly remind me to keep doing what I promised the people and never bring a bad name to the family and my community. He would tell me that whatever difficulties he was going through, many others were worse off, and that I should do my best for society.
I later came to understand that this was not peculiar to him alone. My family members had actually held a meeting and resolved that none of them would take advantage of my position as Governor. They decided that whatever good name I was building for the Obi family and Agulu must be protected. The same principle extended to my children.
Today, at 75, my beloved brother remains deeply concerned about Nigeria. Whenever we speak, he is full of prayers and good wishes. He constantly reminds me that if I have the opportunity to serve Nigeria, I should do so with honesty, integrity, and the interest of the people at heart.
Brother Dom, I thank God for the gift of your life and for the example you have set for our family. Your integrity, humility, contentment, and sense of responsibility are qualities worthy of celebration.
May God Almighty, who has graciously been with you all these years, grant you good health, His abundant grace, and blessings.
Happy 75th birthday, my dearest brother. -PO
