I can never rate you intellectually if you find Peter Obi inspiring in anyway or capable of serious leadership.

His tenure of 8 years in Anambra is a public record and all his predecessors publicly confirmed how much of a disaster he was.

Again and again, the Nigerian opposition, some of their supporters, and those who fail to read the room make the same political mistake. They often do not know when to put politics aside and stand with Nigerians.

For the second time in the build-up to a major election cycle, they appear to be repeating the same error.

The first was during the 2023 elections. The naira redesign policy brought untold hardship to Nigerians. It disrupted lives, crippled businesses, and left millions frustrated. The ruling party had its back against the wall, and public anger was palpable. Many Nigerians were ready to vent their frustration at the polls.

That was the moment for the opposition to align completely with the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. Instead, many chose to defend a policy that was visibly hurting the people. The ruling party’s candidate saw the opening, distanced himself from his own party’s handling of the policy, and successfully changed the narrative. That unexpected move earned him sympathy and ultimately worked to his political advantage.

Today, history seems to be repeating itself.

For nearly two months, the opposition rightly criticised the government over insecurity, demanded the President’s resignation, visited affected communities, and consistently called for the release of kidnapped victims. That is the role of an opposition in any democracy.

But when the Nigerian security forces eventually rescued the victims, the narrative suddenly changed. Instead of acknowledging the success of the operation, commending the gallant officers who risked their lives, mourning those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, and even arguing that sustained public pressure contributed to the rescue, some immediately resorted to suggesting the kidnapping was “arranged” or casting doubt on the operation itself.

That is where the line should have been drawn.

You can oppose a government without undermining the credibility of the institutions that serve Nigeria. Governments are temporary; our military and security agencies are national institutions. Presidents will come and go, but these institutions will remain.

Politics should never blind us to the sacrifices of the men and women who put their lives on the line for our safety. Whether one supports the government or not, those who rescued innocent Nigerians deserved appreciation, while those who died in the operation deserved honour.

There is a time to score political points, and there is a time to stand with Nigeria. Knowing the difference is what separates responsible opposition from opposition for opposition’s sake.

Campaigning against the BAT administration in 2027 will be difficult for the opposition if they stick to non-issues and propaganda.
With Infrastructure boom like the coastal Highway, 27+ major road projects in-flight. Bold economic reforms like fuel subsidy removal, FX unification stabilising the Naira, NELFUND (1.5M+ students), record forex reserves, FATF exit, stable universities, and a consistent signal with improving internal security.
Investor confidence is returning strongly.
If his ministers keep delivering, little will be left for critics. If anything, BAT seems to be winning over more supporters at this stage, than the opposition.
Nigeria Forward 🇳🇬💚

You didn’t write PYOist na those ones bad pass. Them bad pass Obidients

[Rapriest @AzukaOkubor]

It seems to me that everyone has a bias and an agenda.

People are largely unfair. They are either old PDP, APC, Buharist, Batist, Obedient, Tribalistic Etc..

Hardly anyone is for Nigeria even though they all pretend to want what's best for Nigeria.

Only bottom barrel folks politicise security. Very low class people. Sadly we have so many of them here. Tueh

My VOTE is for TINUBU

Anyone and almost anything can be forgiven especially when, after careful consideration, it is found to have been a genuine, perhaps even unavoidable mistake. However, an apology can also be manipulative if it is offered merely to avoid consequences or it is made without taking full responsibility.

President Tinubu tackles challenges with calm resolve and keeps moving forward.

It's refreshing that insecurity is no longer the dominant headline every day.
More successful rescue operations are being recorded, and the national conversation is increasingly centered on reforms, growth, and investment.

That's progress.

@GeorgeC19743 You saw it too?

[Dapo Alley @chief_dapo]

I knew Messi would become the GOAT from the very first time I saw him at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2005. By 2006, it became even more obvious in a Barcelona shirt. Then by 2012, I had absolute certainty that Messi was the GOAT. Nothing anyone did afterward could change that not because of the four consecutive Ballon d’Ors, but because of his incredible ability on the pitch.
I knew before most of those achievements happened because I understood what I was watching. I knew others would contest it, and I knew he’d have his lows, but his understanding of the game is genius-level. The only thing I’ve ever seen that comes close is a wonder kid playing street football for fun, dribbling amateurs in a non-competitive game. To crown it all, that’s Messi’s default mode in every game, even against the best players in the world. Even when his team lost, he still looked like he was playing a different sport. I knew all of this by 2012, and if he had retired then, he’d still have been GOAT.
By 2012, he had already finished everything that truly matters about football. After that, he simply kept crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s, breaking one record after another while still coming out to win four more Ballon d’Ors. The remarkable thing is that he won those last four over a span of ten years, with gaps of three and four years between them. Just when you thought he was done, he kept ticking off the few boxes he hadn’t yet ticked, Copa América, the World Cup and now, at 39, he’s even in contention to become the World Cup’s highest goalscorer while competing against players in their prime.
The awards validated my assessment; they didn’t create it.
At this point, there’s absolutely no competition or basis for comparison. Make of that whatever you want.
