On behalf of my family, I condole with the entire people of Ebira Land, over the death of their Paramount Ruler, The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr Ado Ibrahim, who had successfully led the people since 1997.

"When I told my father I was going to marry Jake he said, ‘If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again.’⁣
⁣
He was horrified that I could contemplate marrying a black man, and I soon learned that most people felt the same way. The first years of our marriage living in Birmingham were hell — I cried every day, and barely ate. No one would speak to us, we couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and we had no money.⁣
⁣
People would point at us in the street. Then I gave birth to a stillborn son at eight months. It wasn’t related to the stress I was under but it broke my heart, and we never had any more children.⁣
⁣
We were at the same technical college. I was having typing and shorthand lessons and he’d been sent there for training by the Air Force. He was with a group of black friends and they called my friend and me over to talk. We didn’t even know they spoke English, but Jake and I got chatting. He quoted Shakespeare to me, which I loved.⁣
⁣
Jake returned to Trinidad, but we carried on writing to each other, and a few years later he returned to the UK to get better paid work.⁣
⁣
He asked me to marry him, quite out of the blue, when I was only 19. My father threw me out, and I left with only one small suitcase to my name. No family came to our register office wedding in 1948.⁣
⁣
But gradually life became easier. I got teaching jobs, ending up as a deputy head teacher. First Jake worked in a factory, then for the Post Office.⁣

Slowly we made friends together, but it was so hard. I used to say to new friends: ‘Look, I have to tell you this before I invite you to my home — my husband is black.’⁣
⁣
My father died when I was 30 and although we were reconciled by then, he never did approve of Jake.⁣
⁣
Today we have been married for 63 years, and are still very much in love. I do not regret marrying him for an instant, despite all the pain we have suffered."⁣

Being text of a World Press Conference on the Presidential Election Petition Judgement by Atiku Abubakar, GCON, Waziri Adamawa, former Vice President of Nigeria (1999-2007) and Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 Election, at the PDP Headquarters in Abuja on Monday, 30th October, 2023.

Protocol.

Gentlemen of the Press.

Someone asked me what I would do if I lost my election petition appeal at the Supreme Court. In response, I said that as long as Nigeria wins, the struggle would have been worth the while. By that, I meant that the bigger loss would not be mine but Nigeria’s if the Supreme Court legitimizes illegality, including forgery, identity theft, and perjury.

If the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, implies by its judgment that crime is good and should be rewarded, then Nigeria has lost and the country is doomed irrespective of who occupies the Presidential seat. If the Supreme Court decides that the Electoral umpire, INEC, can tell the public one thing and then do something else in order to reach a corruptly predetermined outcome, then there is really no hope for the country’s democracy and electoral politics.

Obviously, the consequences of those decisions for the country will not end at the expiration of the current government. They will last for decades. I am absolutely sure that history will vindicate me. We now know what the Supreme Court has decided.

At critical points in my political life, I always ignored the easy but ignoble path and chosen the difficult but dignified path, the path of truth, of morality, of democracy and rule of law.

I always chose freedom over servitude, whatever the personal discomforts my choice entails. When I joined politics, the critical challenge was easing the military out of power so that civilian democratic governance could be restored in Nigeria. It later became a very defining struggle, and, as one of the leaders of that struggle, I was targeted for elimination.

In one incident, nine policemen guarding my home in Kaduna were murdered in an attempt to assassinate me. I was also forced into exile for nine (9) months. In addition, my interest in a logistics company that I co-owned was confiscated and given to friends of the military government. As Vice President in the civilian government that succeeded the military, I, again at great personal cost, chose to oppose the extension of the tenure of the government beyond the two four-year terms enshrined in our constitution.

In response to the official backlash against me, I instituted several cases in the courts, which led to seven landmark decisions that helped to deepen our democracy and rule of law. At the current historic moment, the easier option for me would have been to fold up and retreat after the mandate banditry perpetrated by the APC and INEC.

But I went to the Nigerian courts to seek redress. I even went to an American court to help with unravelling what our state institutions charged with such responsibilities were unwilling or unable to do, including unravelling the qualifying academic records of the person sworn in as our President and by implication, hopefully who he really is.

I offered that evidence procured with the assistance of the American Court to our Supreme Court to help it to do justice in this case. I give this background to underscore that what we are currently dealing with is bigger than one or two presidential elections and is certainly bigger than Atiku Abubakar. It is not about me; it is about our country, Nigeria. It is about the kind of society we want to leave for the next generation and what kind of example we want to set for our children and their children.

Tinubu committed a series of crime in the US. Fact! The FBI admitted having his case file, about 70k of them, and have also decided not to release them, and that tells you all you need to know!

The man in Aso Rock is dangerous and shouldn’t be there!

On behalf of all sensible people, thank you for your stance! @GovernorVA

[Pearls @MissPearls]

“Having initially stated unambiguously that it would comply with our FOIA clearly titled "Bola Ahmed Tinubu and K.O. Tinubu," after we filed the lawsuit, the FBI today has WALKED BACK on its position and now claims that it will only release documents not directly mentioning Bola Tinubu.

My 1 year+ of hard work and financial commitment has just gone to waste because some people's need for loud headlines was more important than anything else.” - David Hundeyin

David has done his best, a very amazing work for the benefit of Nigeria and all Nigerians.

Posterity will forever judge him right! 🙏

Today would have been the earthly birthday of the love of my life, and tomorrow would have been my dad's birthday. They both left me too soon. Thank God for my sons, my strong support in the last 11 months. I miss you terribly, darling, and I wish you were still here dad. May your souls rest in perfect peace .

A nation where elected officials can be impeached at will absolutely will struggle to reduce its international risk premium and attract FPI/FDI

Good luck "attracting" investors

WHAT IF a filmmaker makes a film to educate Nigerians on how to prepare for an election, deal with corrupt politicians, deal with corrupt institutions, dare to aspire to be LEGITIMATELY rich, become the change they desire in others and save the world?

The possibilities are endless!

Films not only entertain people but teach and inspire them. It penetrates and easily awaken consciousness. The plot of a good film never leaves you, and it lives on. I think Nigerians need films like this right now.

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

Peter Obi did not protest when his mandate was stolen. He was robbed of victory in 2003. He went straight to court, & recovered his mandate (3 years later) in 2006. Then the impeachment. Again he went to court. This time? for 12 months. Something in me almost wish he’s a radical
