On this auspicious occasion of the birthday of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, CON, we celebrate not only a statesman of uncommon integrity but also a leader whose life of service and compassion continues to impact positively on humanity. Mr. Obi’s journey in public service has been marked by discipline, transparency, and a commitment to human development, values that have distinguished him as one of Nigeria’s most exemplary leaders.
His unwavering commitment to education, healthcare, and philanthropy reflects a life dedicated to service and humanity. May this new year bring you greater strength and fulfillment.
Happy Birthday, Okwute!
Mr Peter Obi. Well done for being thoughtful enough to state the latest atrocious corruption scandal rocking Tinubu’s government.
But like the opinion I shared when Atiku released a statement too, this is a lazy opposition tactic.
Beyond dropping a long-form tweet, mobilize your media arsenal against the government. Send out your spokespersons to the “big screen” stations. Activate your social media teams - rain down fire and brimstone.
We have reached the point where and when the opposition must show intense force, and make the seat so hot and hard for this APC government to relax!✍️
It happens that any time our judicial system suffers the discomfort of injustice, I used to remember the immortal words of Niki Tobi in the landmark case of Buhari v Yaradua.
While giving his judgment in that case 19 years ago, Niki Tobi had foreseen the calamity that may befall the Judiciary if allowed to be infiltrated by politicians.
So he dedicated a very long paragraph advising judges.
He made this long dictum saying:
“I see from Exhibit EP2/34 the need for Nigerian Judges to maintain a very big distance from politics and politicians.
Our Constitution forbids any mingling. As Judges, we must obey the Constitution.
The two professions do not meet and will never meet at all in our democracy in the discharge of their functions.
While politics as a profession is fully and totally based on partiality, most of the time, judgeship as a profession is fully and totally based on impartiality, the opposite of partiality.
Bias is the trade mark of politicians. Non-bias is the trade mark of the Judge.
That again creates a scenario of superlatives in the realm of opposites.
Therefore the expressions, "politician" and "Judge" are opposites, so to say, in their functional contents as above; though not in their ordinary dictionary meaning.
Their waters never meet in the same way Rivers Niger and Benue meet at the confluence near Lokoja. If they meet, the victim will be democracy most of the time and that will be bad for sovereign Nigeria.
And so Judges should, on no account, dance to the music played by politicians because that will completely destroy their role as independent umpires in the judicial process.
Let no Judge flirt with politicians in the performance of their constitutional adjudicatory functions.
When I say this, I must also say that I have nothing against politicians. They are our brothers and sisters in our homes.
One can hardly find in any Nigerian community or family without them. There cannot be democracy without them and we need democracy; not despotism, oligarchy and totalitarianism. They are jolly good fellows.
The only point I am making is that their professional tools are different from ours and the Nigerian Judge should know this before he finds himself or falls into a mirage where he cannot retrace his steps to administer justice. That type of misfortune can fall on him if the National Judicial Council gets annoyed of his conduct.
Ours are not theirs. Theirs are not ours. I will not say more. I will not say less too. So be it.”
Niki Tobi, JSC.
It happens that the advice given by Niki Tobi 19 years ago fell on deaf ears

Tinubu: "And so... the groundnut oil must never run before sgidoksvhdb 'cause where do we go from there...?"
Idiots: 👏👏👏👏👏
Obi: "If you look at our energy production capacity, we are just at 43% of our potential"
Idiots: "Lol. This is why I said Obi can never be president. We are at 45%, not 43%. All this man does is lie. How do we put our country in the hands of someone who always falsifies figures to prove a point?"

What is the value of a single life in Nigeria?
Bros, I helped to introduce SAP into FIRS in 2008. GIFMIS is 13 years old. There is a remote backup facility outside Abuja. If anyone tells you that fire destroyed any records or a snake swallowed anything, knack the person akpako!
The shredded.
There is a thread going around on social media, allegedly about Dangote calling out a government official for spending 5 million dollars on school fees for his children in a foreign country. Do you realize that $5m can build a high class school in any village in Nigeria and still take care of tuition fees for some years for hundreds of students ? That's what one man spent on 3 or 4 persons only.
The man who allegedly did this was putting on a cloth we accept as decent and responsible in the society. His clothes are not shredded like this Gen Z's.
Agbada, suits, blazers, kaftan, gowns, wrapper and blouse etc are the dresses we accept as decent and moral. These are the clothes worn by every government official, man or woman, Christian or Muslim, who is bleeding this country to death by graft, corruption, embezzlement and all manner of evils. Their clothes are not shredded.
Among my fellow clerics, there are those of us who will spend millions on luxury and debauchery of unimaginable proportions but rarely spend a tiny fraction of that on charity. They have no qualms spending 10 million naira on a girlfriend, boy friend and side chic but will toss a careless 50k only to a sick person who needs 3 million to be cured.
These colleagues of mine do not only desist from wearing shredded clothes, they preach passionately against it as indecent and immoral.
Well, I'm not going to mount the pulpit and encourage young girls and boys to wear shredded clothes. However, I will definitely not waste godly time on the pulpit sweating to preach against it when those who wear the 'unshredded' clothes are the architects and masterminds of most of the deadliest immoral acts ravaging the country.
A country is damaged by those with shredded conscience, not those wearing shredded jeans. Our country is full of the shredded.
The APC jubilated when Riley Moore visited the NSA earlier this week. In fact, they ran a bunch of fake news propaganda & insulted Nigerians.
Now that Riley has given his Report on Fox News, I hope the people who agreed that his visit was a win (will also agree with his Report).
The Speed with which the government of the day is working to restructure the country's security architecture shows that their silence was deliberate.
Again I ask, What is the value of a Nigerian life?
Dear Youth, 2027 is around the corner. Use your head.
End!
I went to social media, and I was shocked with the response to my nomination as Minister of Defence, I can’t afford to fail myself, my family and Nigerians

Unrelated but this is what psychologists call ‘malicious envy.’
Read it. You can learn one or two.
In 2009, researchers Niels van de Ven, Marcel Zeelenberg, and Rik Pieters studied two types of envy.
Benign envy:
You see someone succeed and think “I want that too, let me work harder.” This pushes you forward.
Malicious envy:
You see someone succeed and think “I hate them for having it, I hope they lose it.” This pulls you backward.
The researchers found something interesting.
People with malicious envy don’t just feel bad about themselves.
They actively want to destroy what others have, even when it gives them no benefit.
It doesn’t matter what it is.
First Class?
Good marriage?
Large following?
Great life.
Strong convictions?
Name it.
It’s not about the success itself. It’s about who has it.
When someone else has it, it’s worthless.
When they get it, it’s everything.
The study showed malicious envy is often rooted in low self-worth.
Instead of using someone’s success as motivation, they use it as proof that life is unfair.
Now that you know,
Learn from research.
