it's time to get it right.

Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.

Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.

Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).

A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.

You’ve finally found the perfect apartment in Lagos/Abuja. The landlord wants the money, you want the keys.

Stop! Before you transfer that N2 million, check these 5 things in your Tenancy Agreement.

1. The "Rent Review" Clause:
Many landlords insert clauses allowing them to "review" rent arbitrarily. Check if there is a fixed percentage or a notice period for increases.

While growing up, SARS once raided my street and picked up all the young boys playing football outside on a Saturday.

My brother’s friend was among them. He was only 20 years old and had just started learning mechanics.

When his parents went to bail him, they were told he was a cultist and had been transferred to Kirikiri Prison.

A week later, his mum went to see him. They told her he had died due to overcrowding.

Whenever I think about him, my heart breaks. He was innocent.

The basic issue with P.O. is the same issue I had until 2024 - he refuses to acknowledge that his platform is fundamentally anti-imperial. The idea of moving Africa's largest population "from consumption to production" is a fundamentally anti-imperialism idea.

The existence of Nigeria as a consumer-import-dependent, natural resource exporter that spends resource export revenues on imported finished goods without having an industrial base to manufacture its own, is not an accident of "poor leadership" - it is the direct goal of neo-colonialism.

When instead of manufacturing goods, Nigeria instead haemorrhages its natural resources and human talent, and only receives some insufficient USD resource rents in return, this ensured that Nigeria and its African contemporaries remain artificially poor, while people who live in places where for 6 months every year, the ground freezes solid and daily sunshine is only 5 hours, remain artificially wealthy.

That is the core of the Euro-American imperial system. The military branch of this imperial system is called NATO. The governance/policy arms are called IMF/World Bank. The economic arm is called WTO. The academic/social arms are the Foundations, NGOs, policy research institutes and universities. This is what P.O. is actually up against.

So if P.O. says he wants to "move Nigeria from consumption to production", it is the same thing as declaring war on Europe, its sugar daddy in Washington, and its spiritual leader in Tel-Aviv. And if you're going to do that, you need to be fully locked in, and you need to be prepared to lose everything of yours that is under the empire's control.

I finally realised this in June 2024, and that's why I quit my £40,000/year project management job in Newcastle, packed up all my shit, withdrew all my money, gave up my 5-year UK visa, and bought a 1-way ticket back to Accra. As I am now, if and when I end up in a position of power, there is zero leverage that any white man anywhere on earth can use to blackmail me into maintaining this imperial system. I don't have property in their countries. I don't have money in their banking systems. I don't have children in their schools and universities. The most they can do is ban me from their social media.

P.O. does not want to do the same. His children are comfortable and integrated pseudo-westerners. He has property in the UK. He has money in their banks. He enjoys that regular suite at the Hilton Paddington too much. He's trying to run on a revolutionary, anti-imperialist platform while pretending that he is a friend of the Western world who doesn't want to pick a fight with them.

The problem with this is that oyibo people don't play those games. These people murdered Patrice Lumumba over a speech. You might not see yourself as their enemy, but they DEFINITELY know on what side their bread is buttered, and they know that a Nigeria where ships berth everyday, offload consumer goods, and sail away only with natural resources or empty, is a Nigeria that remains strategically poor and profitable to their empire.

They KNOW that a Nigeria under Peter Obi where education and health are properly funded, where Chinese-inspired industrial policy is enacted, where railways and steel production move to the top of national priority, and where those ships eventually start sailing from Nigeria laden with manufactured goods for export to the world, is the Nigeria that will destroy their entire parasitic way of life.

And I'm sure P.O. knows this too, but he's invested in pretending that he can play both sides, the same way Patrice Lumumba wasted valuable time doing "I am not a Communist" and trying to play nice with the same people until they killed his ass, dissolved him in sulphuric acid, and kept his gold tooth as a souvenir.

That's why I've moved on from the Obidient thing. Both he and his supporters don't know what they want and I'm exhausted.

Even his Bible says "How long will you be limping between two opinions?"

@Perry_smitzh The only one I saw.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Today, Nigerians woke up again to the troubling news that the Federal Government is planning to borrow about ₦20 trillion in new loans to finance the 2026 budget. This is at a time when debt servicing alone is projected to gulp nearly half of our national revenue, and when our borrowing requirement has surged by over 72%.

At a time when Nigerians are struggling under unprecedented hardship, insecurity, and unemployment, we must ask the most important and logical questions: Where is the revenue from 2025?

How can we be discussing trillions in new borrowing for 2026 when we are still implementing the 2024 budget? One is genuinely worried. This suggests, very clearly, that the 2025 budget is still untouched and unimplemented.

So, where are all the revenues that accrued in 2025, even when we were told that we had surpassed the revenue targets since August?

It is time for us to stop this fiscal rascality, especially with uncontrolled and unexplained borrowing that is not being invested in the productive sectors of our nation, but instead ends up in consumption.

We cannot keep mortgaging the future of our children through thoughtless borrowing.
We cannot continue this way.

For years, I have consistently maintained that Nigeria cannot borrow its way into prosperity. Nations do not develop by consuming more than they produce. They develop by producing, exporting, and creating value, while building strong institutions that ensure accountability and efficient use of public funds.

We cannot tell Nigerians that revenue is increasing while simultaneously increasing borrowing to ridiculous historic levels. Governance must be built on transparency, not propaganda.

We cannot build a new Nigeria on the foundation of misleading figures, rising debts, shrinking production, and continuous hardship.
Our nation must move forward.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Saturday was my birthday, you did not send a message, no call or visit.
You posted Bishop Oyedepo picture on social media and your WhatsApp status
You are aware bishop Oyedepo and I share same birthday

Monday: you’re texting and left me 13 missed calls to tell me you need help
I replied you: “go and meet bishop Oyedepo”

You cannot celebrate or want to publicly appreciate me but you want what’s in my hands, those days are over.

Only stand by those who are for you and with you. Let everyone build their own community, service their own priorities
Let everyone reap only where they’ve planted.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

@rudeboypsquare Good day my dear brother, I most sincerely thank you for your kind words on my birthday, and assure of my sincere commitment to a better Nigeria.
