No matter how many times you watch this, you can’t argue with the points raised, unless you are the madman that issue advisory to the rag doll of the mob. Time will surely heal us all. Thank you Distinguished sir @dipopeters 🍿

"It's impossible to love 2 people at the same time"
But you have a partner you love, but you're begging somebody else to accept your proposal with a promise to leave your partner - because you CAN'T choose both. Not because you don't love both.
You are still dating your Ex secretly even though you love your partner because you have feelings for both.
You are dating 2 people and don't know whom to marry because you love them both.
You have a partner in another state and you've grown attachment and bond with someone close to you. But you're co fuse because you love them both and don't want to hurt anyone.
You love your partner but now you've met another person who loves you differently and you're beginning to love them too. You love your partner and you've been together for long. But this person makes you feel differently and the sex is even better.
These are 5 of several real life experiences of millions of people. We are not talking theory here. You people need to wake up
The Obidient Hatred Test
One of the clearest ways to know the Obidient enclave never meant well is their relationship with Tunde Onakoya. Tunde has bent over backwards to stay apolitical. He did not campaign against Peter Obi. He did not mock the movement, harder to do if you consider that they are a perpetual object of mockery.
Tunde's only offence is that he never endorsed their candidate. For that, they declared war on a young man whose life's work is putting chess boards in front of children who had never been told they were smart enough to play.
That tells you everything.
In the Obidient moral universe, the arithmetic is simple. Commit every conceivable sin, align with their project, and you are redeemed. The evidence is telling, just look at how their totem pole has been dancing all around the altars of criminality and evil, criminality and evil as defined by them. The very people they swore were the destroyers of Nigeria are the ones they are now asking Nigerians to trust, because they are in bed with Obi.
Change lives, inspire a generation, refuse to genuflect at their altar, and you are the enemy.
This is not a political movement. It is a cult with a presidential obsession. They are now dancing on the cusp of their denouement.
Experience has taught me something about their hatred though. It is, paradoxically, one of the more reliable indicators that you are doing something right. Some of the best things that have happened in my life arrived on the other side of Obidient opposition. They declared something impossible. It happened anyway.
They attacked my endorsement, I not only made money, I took part of the money I was paid, invested in the shares of those who paid the money and then made even more money. Whilst sleeping and dunking on these MFs! Too easy.
The pattern has repeated enough times to no longer be coincidence. So count it joy when this lot comes for you. Wear it.
Their hatred is a credential.
It is also why I cannot take seriously any friendship that dissolved over this congenitally foolish movement. If your loyalty to a man who has still never told anyone what he would actually do differently was worth more than the relationship we built, that friendship was always thinner than it appeared. I lost nothing. I cannot lose what I never had.
Tunde Onakoya will be fine. People who build things always outlast people who only know how to tear them down. Always remember this.
There were two house of assembly seats contested for in Rivers state yesterday, Wike's candidates in APC won both.
In Abuja, all the six area council chairmanship seats were contested for, the APC candidates he supported won five while his faction of PDP won the only one that APC lost.
But the most interesting one is that of AMAC, Abuja Municipal Area Council. While all others are Abuja suburbs or what grammarians call satellite towns, AMAC is the centre of federal government offices and establishments. It is also the prime business center and home to foreign missions.
And so because of all these and more, the coalition felt that they should put all their efforts in winning AMAC.
Obi went to Utako market to buy a bottle of groundnut for N10k but people said that the woman who sold the groundnut to him ended up voting for APC.
Amaechi abandoned the few followers he has in Rivers state to also team up against Wike in AMAC and so he went on the street buying and eating roasted corn.
Dalung boasted that if they won AMAC, then Tinubu should start thinking of leaving Aso Villa in 2027.
Some people said that he is the unwise Solomon.
Atiku also campaigned for their candidate, one Dr Mo whose name I personally and sincerely think that would be better if he ventured into producing herbal medicine and call it Dr Mo Herbal Mixture.
The man who is from Benue boasted that Abuja is not Obio Akpor and that they'll teach Wike a lesson but yesterday Abuja voters who are mostly Gbagyi, the owners of the land and who one of them is the APC candidate, showed the lousy man that Abuja no be Benue.
APC won with 40k votes to 12k votes.
And then I woke up this morning with a question in my mind and the question is how will these people who pull all their resources together for only one local government election yet lost to Wike think that they can defeat Tinubu in a presidential election?
#SWA
The greatness of Fela is beyond Music and Entertainment.He was a symbol of resistance against oppression and injustice.He survived imprisonment,torture and death in the pursuit and the defence of his principles.He planted the seeds of freedom enjoyed by the generations after him.He is incomparable with any artist living or dead.
In walking, we gather many companions; in running, we keep only the essential few. But flight, true flight, is always solitary. The walker trusts in common sense, the runner in principle, and the flyer in instruction. You can always tell where anyone is on their journey based on their character trait. 🪴
You want to know what Tinubu has done right because you are blind and can't see the coastal road. I also know that you're unaware of the NELFUND Student loan. I am very confident that the dualization and concrete roadwork on the ORE-AKURE Expressway are not visible to you.
Perhaps you were not informed about the rehabilitation of the Shagamu-Benin Expressway. I am definitely certain that the strides in the Ministry of Interior, from prison reforms to immigration services, are just an illusion. The Sokoto-Badagry Highway is probably a joke to you.
The reduction in our public debt may not seem real to you, and it will make it difficult for you to appreciate our rising foreign reserves. You will surely find it hard to comprehend the benefits of the tax reforms, and I won't be surprised if you struggle to appreciate the local government's financial autonomy.
How bad is it that we are no longer indebted to the IMF? The drop in inflation is not good news for some people. The CREDICORP initiative is a mirage to you, and I wouldn't bother to elaborate on the achievements of the Federal Housing Authority. If I talk about the intervention in the rehabilitation of primary health centre facilities, it still won't make sense to you.
I could go on and on about roads, but you might call it basic. I can also discuss the construction of new technical colleges and the provision of free tuition for all students. I know you will still complain. I won't even list anything the President has done right. I will allow you to keep wallowing in your delusions and complaints.
It is PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU GCFR TILL 2031.
Guinea-Bissau Coup: Peter Obi, Put the Fight Behind You!
In my language, Itsekiri, we have a saying, which can also be a name, Ujaweyin. It means that the fight is behind you. I want to appeal to Peter Obi to reflect on the phrase 'Ujaweyin'.
The #NigerianElections2023 is in no way, shape, or form like the coup in Guinea-Bissau. In light of the security challenges we face in Nigeria, it is rather provocative to draw an inference between these two unrelated events.
Making such comparisons is a dangerous and desperate gambit.
Peter Obi is not closer to former President Jonathan than I am. I called the former President while he was in Guinea-Bissau, and His Excellency also called me.
Former President Jonathan did not, and will not, compare what occurred in Guinea-Bissau with what transpired during the 2023 election, because that would be juxtaposing apples with oranges.
He called the Guinea-Bissau coup a 'ceremonial' one. But there was nothing ceremonial about the victory of President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
In Guinea-Bissau, we had an incumbent President who looked set to lose the election and was suspected of colluding with the military to forestall the impending declaration of his arch-rival as the winner of the polls.
To put things in proper perspective, the Guinea-Bissau Presidential election and the conduct of President Umaro Sissoco Embaló can best be described as resembling the June 12, 1993, incident in Nigeria.
In Nigeria, none of the candidates in the 2023 election was an incumbent, and, for all intents and purposes, none had the backing of the then-incumbent, General Muhammadu Buhari.
If anything at all, it was speculated by those who should know that the then Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, who himself wanted to be President, worked with some influential individuals to introduce fiscal policies targeted at one of the candidates.
As for the conduct of the election, all international observers publicly stated that the polls reflected the will of the Nigerian people.
For example, the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labour of the US Department of State, stated as follows:
"National elections were widely reported to have reflected the will of voters."
Moreover, as I said privately to people in the People’s Democratic Party before the election, if in 2019, when the PDP was united, we could not defeat the All Progressives Congress, how could we hope to vanquish them in 2023, when we had splintered into four, namely:
The mainstream PDP
The G-5
The Kwankwaso group left to form NNPP, and
The Peter Obi loyalists who joined Labour?
If you tabulate the votes the PDP, Labour, and NNPP received in the 2023 Presidential election, you will find they match the votes a united PDP secured in the 2019 polls, with slight adjustments to account for population growth. We just split it three ways!
In 2023, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress had 20 Governors united behind him, without even a single abstention.
Additionally, the five PDP Governors of the G-5 cast their lot with him.
It was just a matter of common political sense to know that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would win the election.
You, sir, challenged his victory at the Presidential Election Petition Court, and in your pleadings, you did not state that you won the elections. Rather, you pleaded that the then President-elect was not qualified based on a conviction, not winning Abuja, and sundry other flimsy reasons which were thrown out by the courts all the way to the Supreme Court, which spent less than five minutes dismissing your appeal.
Therefore, on what basis are you likening the 2023 Nigerian election to the Guinea-Bissau coup?
Peter, you lost the election fairly. You were not even second. You were a distant third. Let it go!
I appeal to you to imbibe the spirit of Ujaweyin and put the fight behind you. You lost an election. But that does not mean that you should also lose your mind!
Holy matrimony happens in your parents' home, not in any church. Before you insult me, get Scripture and read it from cover to cover. If you see anywhere a marriage was conducted in a church or synagogue, return and collect $10,000 from me!
Scriptural marriage involves a man and a woman, and if she is a virgin, then her father or guardian's consent must be sought and a bride price paid—Exodus 22:17.
If she is not a virgin and the man still wants to marry her, then all he needs is her father's or guardian's consent. No bride price is necessary. But if she has been married before and widowed or divorced, only her consent is required. She just packs into your house and automatically becomes your wife—1 Samuel 25:42.
There is no biblical account of priests, pastors, prophets, or apostles officiating at a wedding.
Yeshua Himself did not perform any marriages or weddings. He was a guest at a wedding feast, not an officiating minister. And at the time He arrived at the feast, the wedding had already taken place.
Now, there is also no such thing as a Registry Marriage. As the name implies, a Marriage Registry is a place where you go to register a marriage that has already occurred. The civil servant at the registry is not marrying you and your spouse. They are either recording your decision to marry or performing legally binding civil ceremonies, so that in future, you both can take advantage of the legal protections that the law affords married couples.
One of the shortest verses in the Bible teaches us about how easy God made marriage. Genesis 24:67 says:
"Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother, Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife."
Look at that. Only one sentence, and it captured Isaac and Rebekah's marriage ceremony.
The only reason some churches insist on a church wedding is to make money. That church is just a business, the same way a shopping mall is a business, and will try to convince you to buy what you do not need.
A church marriage is a European cultural marriage equivalent to your traditional marriage. It is not better or holier than anything you do in sub-Saharan Africa in the name of marriage.
Follow Scripture, not your pastor or his church dogma!

Twelve Money Rules That Will Put You In The 1%
Stop buying things because you want to improve your status in society. Purchase stuff because they have utility value for you.
Invest first and spend next. Don't spend first and invest later.
Reduce your friends and increase your mentors, and your finances will increase while your bills will decrease.
You don't need an iPhone 17. You are not 17 17-year-old. You are an adult with 17 more pressing responsibilities than an iPhone 17.
Trying to impress people who are not paying attention to you will compress you financially.
You only show off with money when you have little to offer yourself and the world. But when you have intelligence, achievements, ambition, and fulfilment, the need to use money to signal your status evaporates.
Master Money, and nobody will master you.
You don’t know anyone until you have had financial dealings with them. Therefore, don't lend money to friends and family. Give them what juju you can afford, and if you cannot afford any money as a gift, give them moral support. You don't owe them!
The fastest way to turn a friend into an enemy is to lend them money.
Borrowing to consume is consuming your future. If you must take a loan, let it be to expand an already successful business, for education, or for your health.
Money lent to a wife or girlfriend is automatically considered a gift by the debtor.
Save to invest because you can't save to grow rich.
