When Tinubu grants interview; the challenge is to understand the coherence of his sentences before reading meaning into them.
When Sowore grants interview, the challenge is to bring out his narratives from the perspective of an union leader.
When Atiku grants interview... Has he granted one recently?
But when Peter Obi grants interview, everyone becomes an economic, security and social expert. Pulling out data from IMF to fact check him, and contextualise every word from him.
Kenneth Okonkwo concluded his reply to the lawsuit by saying that Peter Obi vowed not to arrest someone simply because of speaking on radio or television.
So, that's why, you went to television to call him a fraud and the leader of criminality?? 😂
Well, you said you have more to say and he's only suing you to say that more.
Remember,
"Freedom of speech is guaranteed but freedom after speech is not certain." - Idi Amin, 1926.

On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’....
Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message from the President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot.
Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up. He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no.
‘Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired. It was at that point that it struck him that he couldn’t show up in his casuals at such a ceremony.
I insisted on taking him to the luxury men’s emporium at Nieman Marcus to buy a smart black suit. When we got there, he was busy doing the Dollar to Naira currency conversions. The suit that was a perfect match for him was a dapper Tom Ford suit with a price tag of 3,985 dollars plus tax. He did the calculations and told me ‘Do you know how many students this amount of money can train in Nigeria?’ I reminded him that he was the governor as well as the special guest, and for the caliber of guests expected at that evening’s occasion, including the mayor, senators and other congressmen, oil barons and captains of conglomerates amongst others, he needed to be dressed in top form.
To cut the story short, he refused to pay what he termed ’that outrageous price’ for the Tom Ford suit and that was how we ended up at Steinmart where he agreed to pay a more acceptable price of 220 dollars, tax inclusive, for a basic men’s suit which he was happy to wear to that evening’s event.
What struck me, was that as we were on the way to the airport to see him off for his return flight back to Nigeria, he reached for his pocket where he brought out an envelope of crisp hundred dollar bills. The amount in the envelope was 3,800 dollars.
He said, ‘Anyanwu, this is the balance of the money I would have paid for the ‘Ford’ suit. If the label on the suit was ‘Peter Obi’, I am wondering if anybody in America will pay that amount for it. I have deducted the amount we paid for that suit we eventually bought. Please use this balance for your Charity foundation to help those in actual need. I trust you will do so’. We all laughed heartily. Vintage Peter Obi !
The eventual beneficiaries of that Largesse were Madam Theresa Agbo, a yam seller who became penniless and displaced when her Yam shed was gutted by fire, Callistus Egbe who was bedridden due to illness, and needed help with the school fees of his young children, and the Mgbemena family of six who were thrown out of their one room accommodation (which we subsequently doubled to two rooms) because their breadwinner fell upon hard times and could no longer afford the rent.
In Life, You either live by your creed or you desecrate the mould by which the Almighty created you. Any progressive nation measures an individual by his values, not his vaults.
If this way of life is what is derided as ‘stinginess’ on the part of Peter Obi, then we all need to adopt this mould for a more sustainable and more humane environment.

Picture Excerpts from Day 2 📸 (Morning Session) of the Argentina Revival Crusade👏 🇦🇷
What a glorious morning in the presence of God!
Every moment carried fresh grace, fresh strength, and fresh encounters with the Holy Spirit.
We are grateful for the mighty works God is doing across Argentina. His Word is bringing light, His presence is bringing transformation, and His power is bringing testimonies.
Indeed, the Lord is moving mightily among His people, and to God alone be all the glory!
Join us again for the next session. Your encounter is certain, your testimony is next, and your season of divine visitation is here.👏🔥
Judges are now the most pampered public servants, & I envy them. This is the first time that judgments in Nigeria are openly disobeyed. The first time that judgments are open to different interpretations. This is payment for a job well done. An advance payment for 2007.

2027 is Peter Obi's last shot at the presidency.
2027 is your last opportunity for Peter Obi to pull you out of poverty.
2027 is Nigeria's last chance for Peter Obi to rescue her from that structure of criminality, structure of corruption, structure of looting.
2027 is our last chance to be rescued from this worsening economy, and ravaging insecurity.
Irrespective of how the election goes, Peter obi will remain a wealthy man, a comfortable man, an accomplished man, and a fulfilled man.
The best and only opportunity to take advantage of Peter Obi's availability is this 2027, if not you will suffer. Think about your life 12 years ago, and think about it now. This is not about politics or political party. There is always a positive or negative consequence after every presidential election in Nigeria.
Those who fail to value the treasure they have because it is readily available, will eventually regret when such treasure becomes scarce and unavailable again.
Go out there, get your PVC, vote for Peter Obi and Kwankwaso (OK)
Vote for NDC, defend your votes and make sure it counts.
The Knife is in your hands, the ball is in your court. The choice is yours ✌️

🗣️ Zinedine Zidane on Cristiano Ronaldo:
“First, congratulations to Messi for his performance and hat trick. At 39 years old, what he is doing is incredible, but today I want to speak about Cristiano Ronaldo.
Today is Ronaldo’s day. Whenever he plays, football wins because we are watching one of the greatest players in history. People talk about his age, but his ambition, mentality, and desire to win remain exactly the same.
Portugal have a fantastic squad. Their midfield is full of quality—Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, João Neves, and Bernardo Silva can compete with any midfield in the world. Technically, they are outstanding players.
However, sometimes I feel Ronaldo does not receive the same support that Messi receives with Argentina. Argentina understand how to maximize Messi’s strengths and help him influence the game. Portugal have the quality to do the same for Ronaldo.
Cristiano has spent nearly twenty years giving everything to his country. He has scored goals, broken records, won trophies, and carried Portugal through some of their greatest moments. If this is one of his final chances to achieve something special again with Portugal, then everyone around him should be helping make that dream a reality.
What makes Ronaldo special is not only his talent but his mentality. He never stops believing, never stops competing, and never stops fighting for victory.
That is why today I will be watching Cristiano Ronaldo. Not because he has something left to prove, but because legends deserve to be appreciated while they are still playing.” 🇵🇹🐐
“Unlike in 2023, in 2027 none of our votes will be stolen, not by INEC, not by the APC! We are putting strong mechanisms in place to protect every single vote.”
— Prof. Pat Utomi assures Nigerians.
During Peter Obi's interview with Rufai.
I can't forget the moment he was asked about his plans for security.
And he said, he'll give peace to those that want peace and he'll give war to those that want war. Two people cannot be in charge; either the government is in charge or the bandits are in charge.
Omo! This man would just be deceiving people with his woman voice that conceals the boldness of a lion.
Obviously, I now understand why Evans the kidnapper ran away from Anambra after Obi became governor.
