I don't think Peter Obi is a real Human Being.
But if they check and he is, then he definitely is not a Nigerian.
His father has questions to answer.
1. Peter Obi rejected #700m monthly pension as Ex Governor.
2. Peter Obi rejected lands given to Ex Governors as part of their entitlements.
3. Peter Obi rejected #500m House & Furniture Allowance as Chairman of Security & Exchange Commission, SEC, Abuja 2015.
4. Peter Obi rejected $1m dollars as prize money for being the First & Best Governor to achieve the 2020 Millennium Development Goals, MDGs.
5. Peter Obi rejected the offer of an Oil Well, one of the reasons Nigerian Politicians k!ll to attain Abuja Status.
6. Peter Obi rejected the allocation of millions of naira for the set up of office of the First Lady. Insisting that his wife was not an elected official.
7. Peter Obi rejected the proposal to share the State annual budget on percentage with the State House of Assembly leading to his first unlawful impeachment.
8. Peter Obi handed over about #75bn in cash & assets after 8yrs as Governor, rejecting to convert it to personal use like other Governors did.
This man has conquered man's most natural, intense & vicious appetite...Greed.
I want someone to prove just one of these statements to be false.
Peter Obi is the Man
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appealed to the Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Honourable Justice John Terhemba Tsoho, not to assign any case concerning the party to Hon. Justice James Omotosho, Hon. Justice Peter Odo Lifu, and Hon. Justice Abduimalik.
The party noted that in the past few years, all matters filed in the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division, either for or against PDP have always been assigned to the three Judges.
The party, which said that several of its members have recently complained bitterly about this development, added that all three Courts are viewed by them and indeed the public as ‘courts of particular concern’ about matters affecting the interest of PDP.
The PDP, in a letter signed by its newly elected National Secretary, Amb. Taofeek Arapaja expressed fear and apprehension regarding all matters either filed by the Party or against the Party at the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division.
The party, in its letter to the Chief Judge said, “My lord, it is of great concern to our Party that it would appear that all matters for the past few years filed in the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division either for or against our Party have always been assigned to the following three Judges only, namely: Hon. Justice James Omotosho, Hon. Justice Peter Odo Lifu, Hon. Justice Abduimalik.

The Inauguration of the 1st Indigenous Governor-General of Nigeria.
Look out for the powerful, forceful, eloquent inaugural address by Zik
Mr. Peter Obi’s Independence Day Speech.
Fellow Nigerians,
Today should be a day of joy and remembrance, a day to celebrate the struggles of our heroes who fought to free Nigeria from colonial rule. It should be a day for gratitude to Almighty God for His blessings on our nation.
On 1 October 1960, Nigeria gained independence to global acclaim as an emerging African economic and political power. Such was our potential that Time Magazine predicted the rise of a true African superpower that would lead the continent with pride. Our founding fathers fought for independence with confidence, passion, and determination to build a prosperous Nigeria that would stand alongside the world’s most advanced nations.
Unfortunately, tragic failures of leadership derailed this vision. Yet despite these setbacks, Nigeria has always shown resilience. In 1999, we overcame military dictatorship and restored democracy, beginning a renewed journey toward prosperity, freedom, and justice. That journey helped us build Africa’s largest economy and strengthen democratic institutions. But over the last decade, under the APC’s incompetent, divisive, and corrupt leadership, Nigeria has been greatly diminished.
By the end of 2007, our total debt was about N2.5 trillion, only 10 percent of GDP, after President Obasanjo’s government secured debt forgiveness of over 30 billion dollars. By 2014, Nigeria had become Africa’s largest economy and was primed to achieve middle-income status. In 2015, for the first time, a ruling party was defeated in a presidential election, marking another milestone for our democracy.
Today, the picture is bleak. Our total debt stands at about N175 trillion, nearly 50 percent of GDP, without any improvement in productive sectors. Nigeria has fallen to the fourth-largest economy in Africa, behind South Africa, Egypt, and Algeria. Our democracy is now described as “undemocratic.” In just one year, this administration pushed over 15 million Nigerians into acute poverty. Today, more than 150 million Nigerians lack access to basic healthcare, education, water, and sanitation. This number grows daily under an APC government that pursues brutal revenue-driven policies while ignoring the welfare of its people. Nigeria now ranks among the lowest in the world on human development indicators.
This government taxes struggling citizens and small businesses heavily, while indulging in extravagance. Billions are spent on new presidential jets, yachts, and luxury cars that cost more than the entire 2024 budget for primary healthcare. The Vice President’s residence was renovated at a cost of N25 billion, more than the combined capital budgets of six major federal university teaching hospitals. Over N10 billion was allocated for car parks and canteens for the National Assembly, more than the capital budget of the Ministry of Science and Technology at a time when science is crucial to national growth.
Meanwhile, Nigerians pay more for everything and receive less. Passports, permits, electricity, petrol, food, rent, and healthcare all cost more. Yet power supply remains unreliable, food insecurity deepens, and UNICEF and WFP project that 33 million Nigerians will face acute hunger in 2025.
This government borrows recklessly, not for investment in productive infrastructure but for wasteful consumption. Insecurity has further crippled our economy. Nigerians now live in fear of travelling by road. Kidnapping has become rampant, with billions paid in ransom. Incompetence in security management has turned our country into one of the most terrorised and unsafe nations in the world. Cronyism, corruption, and disregard for the rule of law have scared away investors, while other African nations overtake us as preferred investment destinations.
Southeast pays higher in buying Dangote fuel than any other region.
Southeast pays higher and double air ticket than any other region.
Southeast has the worst federal road in Nigeria.
Southeast has the least number of CNG conversion centers.
Southeast is the only region without a single headquarters of any government agency.
Southeast is the region with worst infrastructures in Nigeria.
Southeast is the only region with a less than 110km dual road connecting two state capitals yet uncompleted in over 25 years with over 500 billions wasted.
Southeast is the only region with no single performing local government chairman.
Southeast is the only region individuals builds road, hospitals, schools, etc and governors does nothing except blowing sirens and and paying political otimkpu.
Southeast is the only region hated by the federal government and its Governors.
According to the information circulating, Dave Umahi said today, "It's not the Southeast's turn yet; when it's our turn, nobody will be more qualified than me."
What now changed David Umahi? In 2020, you defected to APC with the reason that PDP doesn’t want to give a South Easterner a chance to have her presidential ticket. You even gave PDP an ultimatum to consider a South Easterner in her presidential zoning, or you would dump the party, and at the end, you defected and tagged it a protest against PDP. Has a Southeasterner become a president since then?
David Umahi, I want to remind you that you’re not a credible candidate for president in any country. I can’t even rate you anything close to Mr Peter Obi. You lack the ability to factor economic development and growth in a state or a nation. You’re only good at mixing concrete and constructing substandard roads.
As Ebonyi governor, you k!lled Ebonyi educational system, healthcare system, and civil service to the extent that some Ebonyi workers grieve to death. You k!lled every system working before you became a governor, including the scholarship board, pension scheme, and health insurance. Nothing worked under you aside from the substandard roads and flyovers you built in villages that may not experience traffic in the next 40 years. The airport you constructed is not yet functional till date (3 years now). The mall you constructed is deserted like a graveyard, and no serious business is going on there. The industrial clusters you claim to establish do not exist anywhere, talk more of functioning. I will choose Tinubu ahead of you, not to talk of Peter Obi.
Those workers you starved as Ebonyi governor can only be considered as fools if they yield to this your opinion.
You obviously know if Obi contests the 2027 elections, you will fail to generate any vote for APC. Even in your state, Ebonyi, Obi will win you if he contests any election against you, despite that you will depend on rigging, just as you lost your senate seat against Linus Okorie but you rigged yourself in.
Average Nigerians facing the current hardship in the country and the sensible ones whom you’ve not blinded with your selfish desire will choose someone like Peter Obi, who has shown to be interested in reforming the system to a working one, cutting governance costs, developing our educational and healthcare system, restoring a booming economy, fixing our power sector, and embarking on agricultural development, rather than you, who would loot the nation dry, live luxuriously at the expense of the suffering masses, and waste funds on non-traffic dry-land flyovers, which is the only area you are good at.
We will remind you that we’re Obidient in 2027. Even if Tinubu wins, he won’t win because of you.
Thank you, Sir.
What Makes Democracy Die: Lessons from Nigeria
Today, 17th September, I participated in an international Conference in Accra, Ghana, organised by the 2025 Goodluck Jonathan Foundation Annual Democracy Dialogue with the theme “What Makes Democracy Die?”
Democracy is fundamentally about accountability, prioritising service to the people, ensuring security, providing education and healthcare, and lifting people out of poverty.
Democracy dies when it ceases to be accountable to the people and when it no longer prioritises their needs.
Nigeria is a typical example of where democracy is dying because it no longer serves the needs of the people and is no longer accountable to them.
In Nigeria, democracy has become a process of elite state capture, granting access to public resources for personal and family interests.
To reverse this situation, Nigerians must take democracy and elections seriously by ensuring that only people with competence, capacity, character, compassion, and commitment to service are elected.

The Seraphic Psychiatric and Old People’s Home - A Call to Humanity
Today, I met my very dear brother, Evangelist Ebuka Obi, at Lagos Airport, where he informed me about the commissioning of the Seraphic Psychiatric and Elderly Home. I later had the privilege of visiting the facility at Aguleri. I thank him for this noble initiative, which reflects deep compassion and a commitment to serving humanity.
The timing and establishment of this facility are most auspicious, especially in light of the recent World Health Organisation (WHO) report, which indicates that Nigeria is facing a mental health crisis, with over 20 million Nigerians living with mental health challenges caused by severe economic hardship and stress.
I recall that as Governor of Anambra State, I paid attention to mental health by investing in the Nawfia Psychiatric Hospital, providing modern buildings and equipment. Some may wrongly argue that establishing psychiatric hospitals implies a state “breeds mad people.” This is a misconception. Across the world, mental health is taken with the utmost seriousness, and any society that genuinely cares for its people must invest in it.
This has become even more urgent in our time, given the alarming rise in substance abuse among our youths. I have often suggested that one effective way of maximising such facilities is by organising excursions for secondary school students. Seeing firsthand the consequences of drug and substance abuse can serve as a powerful deterrent.
Equally commendable is the old people’s home component of the project. In a society where the elderly are often neglected, this initiative restores dignity, care, and respect to those who once laboured for us. Looking after our elderly is not just an act of charity but a moral duty, and a true measure of our humanity.
I sincerely thank Evangelist Ebuka Obi for his unwavering commitment to a better Nigeria and to serving humanity. I urge us, as a people, to pay closer attention to mental health and to the welfare of our elderly, ensuring that no one in our communities is left uncared for.

We Are Finished!
I join millions of Nigerians in wishing Her Excellency, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, a happy birthday. May God Almighty, who has been with her all these years, grant her many more healthy, fruitful, and happy years.
However, I was struck by irony reading her request: that instead of cakes or newspaper adverts, well-wishers should donate toward completing the National Library in Abuja. On the surface, it is noble and selfless. But beneath it lies an indictment of our nation.
I recall that, as Governor of Anambra State, I too urged that money meant for adverts be channelled into meaningful causes—computers for schools and classroom blocks. Such gestures were never meant to replace the government’s duty but to complement it. The state still bore the responsibility of providing those essentials. That is why it is shocking that, in our present circumstances, while billions are easily found for jets, yachts, unused mansions, endless trips abroad, and other frivolities, the nation must rely on birthday donations to complete its own National Library.
What kind of country must beg for charity to build the very temple of knowledge? What kind of leaders waste trillions on luxury and vanity, while the National Library - our intellectual furnace - remains abandoned in the capital? Serious nations treat libraries as sacred; but here we reduce them to afterthoughts, begging bowls, or birthday tokens.
Mrs Tinubu was right: education is the most enduring legacy a nation can give its people. Yet to know this truth and still prioritise vanity is both shocking and tragic.
If Nigeria will rise, it will not be on the wings of jets or the splendour of mansions, but on the strength of minds formed in classrooms and nourished in libraries. Until then, the lament remains true—we are finished. -PO
Where Did ₦1 Trillion Go?
I recently read a report from the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) stating that it has disbursed over ₦1 trillion to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria since 2015. By simple conversion over the said period, this amounts to more than $1 billion.
I did not comment immediately on this claim because I wanted to investigate further, especially through my travels and contacts with small businesses across the country. The reality is that most of them are not even aware of any such disbursement, and over 80% are unaware of the Bank’s very existence. The level of knowledge about the existence and utility of such an institution is directly proportional to its impact on the people it is meant to serve.
If indeed such an amount was deployed to support enterprises, the results should be evident. For instance, if $1 billion were disbursed in small loans averaging about $,1000 each, it could have supported at least 1 million small businesses. The ripple effect of this would have been no less than 3 million new jobs, with visible growth in enterprises, an improved economy, and measurable progress in lifting people out of poverty.
But the reality before us today tells a different story: unemployment remains at a record high, businesses are struggling to survive rather than thriving, many enterprises are shutting down or relocating outside Nigeria, and poverty is deepening instead of reducing. So the critical question is: if ₦1 trillion truly left the coffers of DBN to empower Nigerians, where did the money go?
How can such a huge sum be disbursed and yet ordinary Nigerians feel no impact? Empowerment is not a slogan or a campaign tool - it must be proven by results. Nigerians need to know where the money went. Who exactly were the beneficiaries? What tangible businesses were created? Where is the proof of jobs generated or poverty reduced?
Without answers to these questions, the claim of ₦1 trillion disbursement remains yet another round of grand deception, where scarce national resources are captured by a few elites and recycled under the guise of empowerment schemes.
Nigeria must insist on transparency and accountability. Our people deserve evidence that such vast sums are being invested in their lives and future—not lost to corruption or buried in empty statistics.

Local Governments Must Not Become a License for Waste
I have just read the disturbing report that the wives of 21 local government chairmen in Adamawa State were sponsored with public funds to travel to Turkey under the guise of leadership training.
Today, while our children at the basic education level, whose education is the responsibility of local governments, are out of school, and those in school lack classrooms and teachers, while LGA pensioners are likely being owed, and teachers continue to struggle under economic hardship, it is disheartening that scarce resources are channeled into frivolities such as foreign trips for the wives of local government chairmen who have no public office, at an estimated cost of about ₦600 million in public funds.
While I sincerely commend Governor Fintiri and his team for their efforts, especially in the area of infrastructure in Yola, Adamawa still remains one of the states in urgent need of investment in critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation. Such money, if directed at women micro-credit at an average of ₦100,000 each for women-led micro businesses, will uplift 6,000 women, which would be more impactful to the various LGAs, with about 300 women in each LGA being empowered, than this wasteful spending.
Basic education in particular cannot afford to lose such a huge amount, as the over half a billion naira in question could have funded about 30 blocks of six classrooms at an average cost of ₦20 million each, directly impacting the lives of countless children and communities.
We must return to prudent, people-oriented governance. Local government funds belong to the people, to the market woman, the farmer, the teacher, the pensioner, and every ordinary Nigerian who depends on government for basic amenities. Anything short of that is an abuse of office and should not be condoned. This is not only a glaring case of waste but a mockery of the very essence of governance.

Again our President moves as the Nation bleeds
Amid the deplorable state of our nation in all ramifications, we have a virtually indifferent President who has continued to display insensitivity to our situation.
How can anyone explain that a President who came from Brazil recently and met with the President is returning to the same country, leaving the various degrees of challenges at home unresolved?
The latest itinerary of the President shows he will depart Abuja on Thursday, August 14, for a two-nation trip to Japan and Brazil.
The President will stop over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before proceeding to Japan. In Japan, President Tinubu will attend the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in the City of Yokohama from August 20 to 22. The itinerary is silent on the President's return date to his visibly troubled nation.
The situation we find ourselves in is deeply worrisome. Our President, who has not found it worthy to visit any of our troubled states, takes joy in travelling to foreign countries at the slightest invitation or excuse. Often departing several days even before the events he’s invited to.
In his last trip, for instance, he had a one-week State visit to St lucia before attending the BRICS Summit, where Nigeria was merely invited as an observer, though the role was dressed up as “partner” to the invitation, which was more significant. The leaders of actual member countries who attended only arrived a day or two at most for the event.
Nigeria’s insecurity situation, economic hardship, and human suffering have reached their peak. We are now counted among the most insecure nations, the most fragile economies, and the hungriest countries in the world. This dire reality demands the full attention of Mr. President, and his travels should be more within our troubled states and communities, spending time on the ground, and taking decisive action to alleviate the people’s suffering rather than these overseas conferences that contribute little or no tangible value to our nation's woes. And where the trip is necessary at all, it could be attended in just a few days rather than indulging in prolonged, unnecessary absences from a country that requires 24/7 attention.
What our nation needs now is security of lives and properties, economic stability and ensuring that our people have food on their table.
Our President's planned trip of 12 days departing today, if necessary, should have been at most a 5-day trip as the event he was invited to in Japan commences on the 20th.
Nigeria today demands competent leadership with capacity and compassion to start dealing with the problems besetting it with the presence and sacrifice required.
Mr. President must, as a matter of urgency, commence tours of our states with the same enthusiasm he shows for jetting out of the country every month. These visits will enable him to see, listen and learn more about what Nigerians are going through.
Though Nigerians know that our huge problems cannot be solved overnight, they want to see 100% effort and tireless commitment to solving them.
Most importantly, our President must know that he's not a tourist, but the Chief Executive of a troubled nation, so he must have consciousness, strict work schedules and a strict travelling schedule to show that he has a troubled country to quickly return to.
