Fun fact:

I came to know Serah Ibrahim because of Peter Obi.

I came to know Ndi Kato because of Peter Obi.

I hated Aisha Yesufu’s guts because of BBOG but warmed up to her cuz of Peter Obi.

I came to know Valentine Ozigbo because of Peter Obi.

I came to know Nana Kazaure because of Peter Obi.

I came to know Isaac Balami because of Peter Obi.

I came to know Okoro (the one married to a Benin goddess) because of Peter Obi

I came to know Jack The Destroyer because of Peter Obi.

In essence, everyone of importance around Peter Obi today or in the past is completely dispensable and Obi’s popularity will not drop even -0.00000001%.

So, tell all the riffraffs that used to be around Obi but have decided to go rogue that Obi will be fine and better without them.

And if you are currently around Obi but you are already feeling too important, I want you to know that Obi will be fine if you walked away today.

The Obidient Movement is bigger than anybody.

🚨When a Sheriff Tells a Flat Out Lie on Camera.

On June 4, 2020, First Amendment auditor George Metz II (Rogue Nation) and a colleague filmed government buildings in Dothan, Ala., from public sidewalks, including the exterior of a police building.

Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza approached, told Metz had broken the law by filming their building, detained him, demanded ID, and said he was conducting an investigation.

Sheriff Valenza said, "You're doing something illegal right now by filming government buildings."
(Bold faced lie.)

Metz said there was no reasonable suspicion for the stop.

In May 2022 Metz sued Valenza in federal court for Fourth Amendment illegal seizure and First Amendment retaliation.

A magistrate recommended denying Valenza qualified immunity at the motion-to-dismiss stage, finding Metz had plausibly alleged a clearly established rights violation based on the complaint and video.

The district judge adopted that and let the case proceed.

The case did not go to a public merits ruling.

On Oct. 10, 2024, it was dismissed with prejudice “on the terms set out and agreed to by the parties”—a settlement dismissal.

Filming public buildings from a public sidewalk is generally protected; the dispute was whether the detention and ID demand were lawful.

❓Are First Amendment auditors journalists, agitators, or both?

❓What does the video actually show Sheriff Valenza doing?

❓Should a sheriff and his gang of deputies be able to detain you on a public sidewalk just for filming a police building?

[Onye Nkuzi @cchukudebelu]

Let me spell this out, for those who do not live in Nigeria, or do not know much about Nigeria.

1. On the best of days, electricity generation in Nigeria is epileptic - i.e. frequent blackouts and/or brownouts.

2. Tens of millions of Nigerians have cheap Chinese made petrol generators as electricity backup.

3. They need at least 5 liters per day, to get anything done, or make it through the night without being assaulted by mosquitoes.

4. The lower end of the price of a liter petrol in Nigeria is around ₦ 1,300 (Right now, the U.S. average gasoline price of about $1.17 per liter converts to roughly ₦1,800–₦1,900 per liter in Nigeria. Our Harvard Business Review reading Free Market Champions are oddly silent - now that "deregulation" and "market forces" have accomplished zilch, nada, nothing for the ordinary Nigerian).

5. This means ₦ 1,300 per liter of petrol * 5 hours per day * 30 days per month = ₦ 195,000 per month. Most Nigerians do not have that kind of money. Please note: Nigeria's national minimum wage is ₦70,000 per month under the National Minimum Wage Act 2024. The new rate took effect from 1 April 2024.

6. This means most Nigerians have two choices - 1. Buy a Chinese made solar + inverter system, 2. Or forgo electricity.

7. When you see Nigerians embracing socialism in future, do not wonder why.

Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II

Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria

Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.

Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.

Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”

Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.

We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.

We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.

State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.

We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.

A NEW Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM]

This week, I have observed with deep concern two notable media appearances: one by my brother, Mr. Peter Obi, and the other by the family of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.

In his interview with Mr. Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Obi voiced serious worries about his personal safety and the adverse impact his role as an opposition leader has had on his businesses. Even more troubling was the Federal Government’s response, which resorted to personal insults and derogatory language instead of the restraint and maturity expected of a democratic administration.

Let me state clearly: like every Nigerian, our presidential candidate and all of us deserve the full protection of the state, not ridicule for raising legitimate concerns.
Democratic leadership requires fairness, justice, and restraint.

A government entrusted with protecting citizens should not dismiss or mock credible calls for help from any individual, including Mr. Peter Obi.

On the other hand, it was distressing to watch the wives of Malam Nasir El-Rufai publicly express the family’s anguish over his prolonged detention.
Regardless of political affiliation, Malam El-Rufai, like every Nigerian, is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a competent court. The continued delay in granting him bail through what many perceive as stringent and unreasonable conditions is deeply concerning. As an unconvicted citizen, he deserves a fair and expeditious trial, while his health and that of his family are adequately safeguarded.

I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians in urging the Federal Government to handle these matters with transparency, accountability, and justice. These issues must not be weaponised to settle political scores.

For our democracy to truly thrive, every citizen; young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political persuasion must receive equal and equitable treatment under the law from the government that exists to protect us all. - RMK

[AMB. SERAH IBRAHIM @TheSerahIbrahim]

This story is actually insane and nobody is talking about it, and the key witness has apparently died in a hotel fire.

Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi accused Femi Gbajabiamila of collecting ₦400 million from him for a ₦600 million deal for the appointment to become DG of Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), the Chief of Staff was said to have demanded 48% of the agency’s ₦24 billion take-off grant.

Prince Adeyemi said 48% is too much. There was a little disagreement apparently, and on 11 June 2026, Gbajabiamila, in his capacity as Chief of Staff, issued a public statement saying the PFIPC was not an official government body.

Prince Adeyemi wrote a petition to the police and named the middleman who was the witness to everything that happened.

The middle man, who is the key witness to the transaction died a day after that petition.
Prince Adeyemi wrote for the investigation of the man’s mysterious death, and also claimed there are multiple assasinanation attempts on his life.

He also claimed his phone was particularly stolen in one of the attempts and they are refusing to help him track it.

Gbajabiamila claims the company does not exist and that Prince Adeyemi is telling lies, but the 2026 Appropriation Act currently contains a ₦1.3 billion budget allocation for the PFIPC on page 50 and 51.

So how did a “non-existent”agency receive a budget allocation?
The criminality happening under Tinubu is abysmal.
Why is this not making the news?

My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria

Today, being the 1st of July, 2026, I wish to humbly recall that when I decided to contest for the office of President of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.

This vision is anchored on a commitment to unity, inclusion, social justice, equity, and the freedom of every citizen to pursue lawful dreams.

Central to this proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.

Robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress. It serves as the fundamental capital upon which daily life, economic expansion, and the delivery of essential public services depend.

These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.

From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.

Funding and improving the equipment of TVET institutions, through partnerships among government, the private sector, and social entrepreneurs such as faith-based educators, will facilitate apprenticeship opportunities in the private sector, similar to the German dual education system.

The situation in which unemployment remains high while Nigerian entrepreneurs establish businesses elsewhere because skilled labour is scarce must be confronted decisively. Doing so is essential for the common good and for facilitating our transition from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one.

Character and civic education, emphasising the values that foster trust - an essential ingredient for enterprise and leadership - as well as shared national values, will receive significant attention within the tripartite approach to governance that we propose.

PRESS STATEMENT

COURT ORDER ON NDC: A SETBACK FOR DEMOCRACY

We have read media reports of the order of the Federal High Court, sitting in Lokoja, directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) @inecnigeria to deregister the National Democratic Party (NDC).

While we await the Certified True Copy of the judgment, we express our profound condemnation of the implications of the court order, which further constricts the democratic space in our country. This is particularly disturbing, coming after Nigerians had expended their resources to aspire to various elective offices under the platform of the NDC. This order is not only an asphyxiation of multiparty democracy in Nigeria but also an economic crime against Nigerians who invested in the party.

This situation, though activated through the court, fits neatly into the playbook of the APC-led Federal Government, which appears unwilling to allow the survival of a genuine opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections, in order to pave the way for the President’s unchallenged re-election. The absurdities that have occurred under the APC Federal Government clearly demonstrate its disdain for fair political competition, which is most unfortunate.

The leadership of the genuine Peoples Democratic Party urges the leadership of the NDC to vigorously challenge this order within the ambit of the law while seeking the support of the Nigerian people in the struggle for democratic consolidation.

The Federal Government must take practical steps to reduce the political temperature of the country in the interest of peace, stability, and the preservation of democracy.

A Professor, a former CBN Governor, and writer of economic plans is deploying scarce taxpayers' funds to build an airport in a state that already has one and is near Asaba and Enugu, both with airports.

The same professor cannot renovate the library in Onitsha to train future professors.

This is a misallocation of funds. If money were unlimited, Anambra should build an airport in every LGA, but money is not infinite; the costs of these airports are schools and hospitals not built.

Many infrastructure projects could stimulate growth and productivity more quickly than an airport. Consider a railway linking Nnewi and Onitsha to the standard line in Delta or high-speed internet in all rural areas.

Soludu Disappoints with his lack of imagination, and many who defend this misapplication of funds are simply engaging in politics, not economics.

Elections have consequences. Elect better leaders.

If Peter Obi had craved the path of least resistance,
he would have nestled comfortably under Atiku’s wing, jostling for the vice-presidential perch and its attendant perquisites.

But that has never been Peter Obi.

He is not a man for borrowed robes or vicarious power.
He carries a luminous blueprint for Nigeria’s renaissance,
one too audacious,
too structural,
too transformative to be executed from any subordinate station.

Only the presidency grants him the constitutional lever and moral authority to reorder our priorities, restore productivity,
and rescue a nation long held hostage by transactional politics.

This is not ambition;
it is duty in its purest form.

A New Nigeria is POssible.

As I type, tears 😢 just dropping from my eyes. Tears of joy to be alive and witness a man above men, whom God sent to deliver Nigerians from the shackles of the structure of criminality.

Peter Obi tweeted this after our mandate was stolen and some of us wondered how he's going to be with us till day break.

Suddenly, we saw him all over the nation investing into our future and welfare. From one school to another. One medical centre to another. Providing resources state and Federal government refused to provide.

Peter Obi gives lavishly to humanity.
He's not the richest man in Nigeria,
but he is the RICHEST NIGERIAN ALIVE.
Nigeria hasn't seen a consistent giver like him.
Majority of the rich in Nigeria don't think like him, they think luxury and waste.

Peter Obi has no reason to bother himself about us. He should be travelling all over the world, enjoying with his wife and children. But he said "I will not leave you, i will be with you till daybreak" 😭😭😭😭

Fellow Nigerians,
Heaven has smailed on us ! We must take it by force! Let's make up our mind to birth New Nigeria. Peter Obi or notting!
Let's do it !
Go and get your PVC massively!
