I will apply the same energy Peter Obi did in 2023. If I had understood better and joined him, we would have whooped Tïnubu and the entire APC far away from Aso Rock.

One of the most heartbreaking injustices in Nigeria today is how we treat our pensioners.
Imagine serving your country for 35 years, only to spend the final years of your life begging for the gratuity and pension you worked so hard to earn.
Some pensioners are dying while waiting for money that should have sustained them in old age. Others are battling illnesses, unable to afford medication, while their retirement benefits remain unpaid.
What is the point of serving a country faithfully if you must spend your retirement fighting that same country to survive?
A pension is not charity. Gratuity is not a favour. These are earned entitlements, not gifts from the government.
We cannot claim to be building a decent society when the people who spent their productive years serving it are abandoned at their most vulnerable stage of life.
No pensioner should have to die waiting for money they earned while alive.
This is one area of our society that urgently deserves national attention, institutional reform, and measurable accountability.
How a nation treats its elderly citizens tells us a great deal about the kind of society it has become.
The Director-General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, has described former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, as a “pathological liar” over his claim that officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) prevented him from greeting members of Nigeria’s victorious Flamingos team at the Abuja airport.
Obi had accused NFF officials of stopping him from welcoming the U-17 women’s national team following their return from Morocco, where they won the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
However, Hon. Olopade dismissed the former governor’s account, arguing that the circumstances surrounding the team’s arrival and exit from the airport made it impossible for Obi to have encountered the players as claimed.
According to the NSC boss, the Flamingos landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 5:30 a.m., when it was still dark and domestic flight check-in activities had yet to commence.
He further explained that the players passed through immigration and exited through the international airport’s underground exit, insisting that Obi, who claimed to have been at the domestic terminal to board an Enugu-bound flight, could not have seen the team from his location.
“The plane landed at 5:30 a.m. It was still very dark. No local flight was checking in at that time. Even if they were checking in, there was no way Obi would have seen those children from where he was at the local airport,” Olopade said.
The reason I’ve stopped debating APC clowns is that, you listened to Buhari promise this in 2015. Then he promised it in 2019 again. Then Tinubu promised this in 2023. Now he’s promising it again. Does your brain not tell you that you are a big fool?
