To international observers… this is a Nigerian problem. The earlier we start saying things are wrong, Africa will be good… Africa needs to be fixed and we have to tell ourselves the truth - HE Peter Obi

The Earth was fully stocked: water to drink, soil to grow food, forests to shelter us, a sun that rises every day, a moon that moves water, and oceans that regulate the climate. Then, men invented war, debt and capitalism.

Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.

It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.

Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.

This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.

It’s a big shame for Nigeria.

Been seeing comments about Norway having so many fans, while Senegal barely has any.

That’s because Senegalese supporters were not given visas to come to the U.S.

Even before a ball is kicked, Western/European teams already have an unfair advantage.

IATA says Nigeria and Afghanistan are the two worst locations to open an Airline in the world. Afghanistan because it's a war zone and Nigeria for its 54 different taxes and hostile operating environment. Yet we complain about ticket prices and blame airlines.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

There is no single “correct” path to the top.

Novak Djokovic went 3 years without sugar, let one piece of chocolate melt on his tongue after the longest tennis match ever… then went straight back to training.

Roger Federer won the Australian Open eating ice cream every single night.

George Mack’s point: Djokovic’s extreme discipline vs Federer’s relaxed enjoyment. Stephen King raw-dogging novels vs J.K. Rowling using spreadsheets. Buffett reading everything vs Jim Simons using algorithms.

At the highest level, the winners pick what works for them.

"As a Yoruba man, I can't wait to have a Governor of a south Western state who like PETER OBI will rule a state for 8yrs;

12. He didn't acquire any property anywhere while in office.
13. He never awarded any contract to family members.
14. His wife had no office or budget to mess with the state. She had her enterprises in UK.
15. Obasanjo had to come to Onitsha and spent 1-week bcos of the peaceful environment.
16. He invited EFCC to come and audit his administration, before handing over.
17. He refused to accept land, gratuity & pension like other governors.
18. He never went close to State Govt House after handing over.
19. He didn’t try to frustrate his successors policies.
20. Till today, he kept gifting multi-millions to Schools, Healthcare development, and entrepreneurship developments.
21. He even work as Chairman of SEC at the national stage without pay.
22. He paid off the pensions and gratuity owed retired workers in Anambra state.
23. He placed all old people on the station free medical and monthly salary.

If you are sincere and your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.

Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.

Peter Obi - a man that defies Nigeria's version of leadership.
