With you, I want time to halt.
'Forever' is just a day when I set gaze at you.
Even time cannot phantom how much I've spent with you in my heart.

Today, the last set of children from our #65FreeAdenotonsillectomySurgeries were discharged from the ward. Only one child remains on IV antibiotics and is expected to be discharged tomorrow, God willing. From the beginning of this initiative to celebrate Mr Peter Obi’s 65th birthday, we screened over 100 children. More than 70 had medical or surgical indications for adenotonsillar disease, and every child who required adenotonsillectomy had a successful surgery. The final surgeries were completed on Sunday. Today three of the last four families gave me a bottle of wine as a token of gratitude and I received it with a grateful heart. But the greatest reward is seeing these children breathe easier, sleep peacefully, and return home healthier. My sincere thanks to every surgeon, anaesthetist, paediatrician, nurse, theatre staff, cleaner, technician, volunteer, and to every Nigerian who prayed for us throughout this journey. To God alone be all the glory.
40 children are somewhere in the SouthEast seated in a conducive lab learning how to build drones. We are not raising future beggars but future innovators. Thank you @winexviv#bootcamp#Educare#SouthEastMathsOlympiad.

Happy Birthday to Peter Obi, my dearest Big Bro:
I will never forget your kindness to my beloved parents. Thank you for the respect you showed them, for your many visits to Abba, where you gave to Daddy and Mummy the most precious gifts: your time and your attention.
Thank you for walking this still-unbearable journey of grief with my siblings and me.
I remember how you regaled Daddy and Mummy with your stories until we started joking about your obsession with the “GDP of Malaysia.” But your obsession spoke of hope: your hope for Nigeria, your belief in what Nigeria could be. A belief that has always been practical, grounded in numbers and in reality.
I remember when you came to support me as I was being honored by the United Nations Foundation in New York, and I teased you about the inexpensive hotel you were staying in, and you shrugged and said, “it’s just a place to sleep, why do I need to be in an expensive place?”
And then only days later, you once again exhibited your incredible generosity to the causes you believe in, and it reminded me of all the hospitals and schools and churches you have supported over the years, and often without fanfare. You have always been clear about what your priorities are, what matters to you, what you believe should matter, and that is deeply admirable.
I have always admired your humane pragmatism, how you are willing to talk to almost anyone if it will bring about a good outcome.
And how you believe in certain ideals without being an ideologue.
And how you see people as people, knowing that human value is not measured in material terms.
And how you are able to laugh at yourself, and laugh when I tease you about your ‘one shoe and one shirt.’
And how you have always been consistent in the core of who you are.
Thank you for your compassion and your circumspection. For your honesty and your humour. For your willingness to acknowledge flaws, yours and others’, knowing that nobody is perfect. For your fuss-free kindness and your humility that is never performative.
I am inspired by your intellectual curiosity, your eagerness to learn, your genuine love of education (which is why you sought out, and honored, Daddy all those years ago when you learned that he was Nigeria’s first professor of statistics.)
Sometimes it is the simplest of language that captures the most complex of things, and so I will end with simplicity: You are a good man. You are loved. You are appreciated.
May your eyes continue to light up when you talk about the lovely confident Margaret (Thank God she agreed for you!) and your lovely children, A and E.
May joy follow you and yours always.
Mummy called you her ‘first son,’ my siblings and I call you our 'big bro,' and I cannot wait to call you ‘My President.’
I cannot wait for January 16, 2027, when I, with personal pride in you and with hope for what Nigeria can become, will cast my vote for you and your running mate, Former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
Chukwu dube gi. God Keep you.
With love, Chimamanda Adiche
On May 12, 2022, a young Christian student named Deborah Samuel Yakubu was killed by a mob in Sokoto, Nigeria.
She was a student at Shehu Shagari College of Education.
The killing happened in the daytime, inside the school environment.
Her fellow students accused her of insulting their religion in a WhatsApp group. This accusation quickly spread. A mob formed. Instead of allowing school authorities or the police to handle the situation, the mob took the law into their own hands.
She was attacked and killed publicly.
Many people recorded videos during the attack.
These videos spread across Nigeria and the world. In the videos, some of the attackers did not hide their faces. Some even spoke proudly about what they did.
After public anger and pressure, the Nigeria Police Force announced arrests.
Two suspects were arrested. Their names were Bilyaminu Aliyu and Aminu Hukunchi.
They were taken to court on May 16, 2022, just four days after the killing.
But something very important happened at this stage.
They were not charged with murder.
They were not charged with killing Deborah.
Instead, they were charged with criminal conspiracy and inciting public disturbance.
These are lesser crimes.
These charges do not carry the same punishment as murder.
This immediately raised serious concern, because Deborah was clearly killed, and the killing was recorded on video.
The case was assigned to Chief Magistrate Shuaibu Ahmad at the Chief Magistrate Court in Gwiwa, Sokoto.
The responsibility of proving the case belonged to the police prosecutor, Inspector Khalil Musa.
His job was simple and clear.
He was supposed to come to court.
He was supposed to present evidence.
He was supposed to bring witnesses.
He was supposed to prove the case.
But this did not happen.
On many court dates, Inspector Khalil Musa did not show up in court.
When the prosecutor does not appear, the case cannot continue.
The court cannot prosecute a case by itself.
The court must rely on the prosecutor to present the case.
Because the prosecutor kept failing to appear, the case could not move forward.
At the same time, the suspects had very strong legal protection.
They were defended by a large team of 42 lawyers.
The leader of the defence team was Professor Mansur Ibrahim.
This means the suspects had full legal support.
They had lawyers present in court.
They had lawyers ready to defend them.
But the prosecution, whose job was to seek justice for Deborah, repeatedly failed to appear and failed to present the case.
This created a one sided situation.
The defence was present.
The prosecution was absent.
Because of this, the judge could not continue the case.
On January 30, 2023, Chief Magistrate Shuaibu Ahmad struck out the case.
When a case is struck out, it means the court ends the case due to lack of prosecution.
The suspects were released.
They left court as free men.
They were not convicted.
They were not punished.
They became free.
Up till today, nobody has been convicted for the killing of Deborah Samuel Yakubu.
Even more disturbing, some of the main attackers seen clearly in the viral videos were never arrested at all.
Some of the people who openly participated in the killing were never brought to court.
This means the situation ended like this:
Deborah was killed in public.
Videos showed the attackers.
Two suspects were arrested.
They were not charged with murder.
The prosecutor failed to pursue the case properly.
The court struck out the case.
The suspects were released.
Nobody has been convicted.
Justice was never completed.
It has been a movement of Sai Obi in the Northern Nigeria.
I know that once the North falls into the line, the rest is history.
Let the campaign start first; una eyes go clear.
I pity anyone who tries to rig the 2027 election, his family may not see his dead body.
Rig-n-Die!
