Another Harmless gist. 😅
You know the US just marked her 250th independence anniversary and the celebrations started yesterday.
And in the light of this event, one guy asked if Nigeria can survive as a country till 250 years.
One APC chieftain assumed this question to be an attack against the ruling party; and immediately asked grok to make a comparison between the US of 1841 and Nigeria of 2025.
According to the APC chieftain, the US was 65 years at 1841 and Nigeria is 65 years in 2025. So, he wanted to compare 65-years old America against 65 years old Nigeria.
After the comparison across education, infrastructure, governance and economy; grok revealed that America of 1841 was far better than Nigeria of 2025.
That's to say, 19th century America was better than the 21st century Nigeria.
While Peter Obi stopped in Nise to encourage citizens registering for their PVCs, something unforgettable happened.
A blind man in the crowd began calling out, “Where is Peter Obi?” Peter Obi walked over, held his hand, and said, “I am Peter Obi.”
The man replied, “I heard you were here, so I came. I need help. The place where people with disabilities were cared for during your time as governor has been taken from us. We have been left on our own.”
Peter Obi listened attentively, supported him with a token for his immediate welfare, and assured him the matter would receive attention.
This is why many people speak about the impact of Peter Obi’s leadership with conviction. For them, it isn’t propaganda or political rhetoric, it’s lived experience and visible even to the blind.
Good leadership is remembered long after a tenure ends. It is felt in the lives it touches, especially by the most vulnerable.
It is safe to say that under a Peter Obi presidency, people with disabilities would not be forgotten, but included, protected, and treated with dignity.

All IMF said was simple.
You borrowed money to meet up something, show it in your books.
So that when you leave office the next president won't argue about it.
Proper bookkeeping. That's all.
Mr Taiwo Oyedele started dropping long threads.
A lying tongue.
Dear @officialABAT
It has been 52 days since students and teachers from Oyo State were abducted by terrorists.
Deploy every necessary resource to secure their safe and immediate rescue. Every day that passes deepens their pain.
Bring them home!!!
Is it just me, or does anyone else completely detest everything APC?
My aunt’s husband is a hardcore APC supporter. I visited them yesterday for their daughter’s birthday
we got into a heated political conversation.
This man was using every ounce of his energy to defend Tinubu. It got so intense that I lost my cool and insulted him.
I told him straight to his face that he is a wicked man, and anyone supporting this government despite the current state of Nigeria is capable of anything.
I even said that maybe if his own children were the ones kidn@pp€d and left to suffer in the bush for 50 days under the rain and sun, he wouldn’t be defending APC.
Immediately I said that, my aunt flew into a rage. I didn't back down, I told her I meant every word because her husband is heartless. It almost caused a massive feud. I just carried my hand bag and walked out.
As long as that man supports APC, he is feasting on people’s tears. I am never stepping foot in their house again.
Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.
I will hardly trust any data that comes out of government if 8.8 trillion can be hidden
A plane landed on an expressway and people came down but the government can’t produce manifest of the plane ?
“I honestly find it unreasonable that a Nigerian Muslim who has all the options in this world to enroll their child in a school that aligns with their faith and beliefs will go ahead and register their child in a Christian/Catholic school, then want to enforce hijab rights.”
Obi Cubana is patronizing corn sellers
Tony Elumelu is walking around with security and camera men to buy corn
APC hired influencers are interviewing corn sellers who claim to be making N2.5m monthly from roasting corn
It’s not a coincidence, it’s propaganda
I took the boys and teachers to the Italian Parliament building in Rome, which is equivalent to the National Assembly in Nigeria.
The boys asked why everyone was walking freely and why the police were being so nice to us.
I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
At the time when Alex Onyia is in Rome with kids attending international competition, a supposed PhD holder, Ogbeni, the CV merchant, is on Twitter hosting a tribal Twitter space.
One thing I’m happy with this Tinubu’s administration is how it exposed so many people in this country, especially on this app.
After a long day of traveling across three states yesterday, we finally landed at our last destination and began the drive back.
Somewhere along the way, Peter Obi pulled out his phone, opened YouTube, and started watching one of @mrmacaroni’s skits.
As exhausted as we all were, he held his phone where everyone could see, and we ended up watching together. He laughed heartily, and it made me pause for a moment.
This, I realized, is how he unwinds. He finds joy in simple moments and makes the most of them.
Then another thought struck me: a man who genuinely spends his free time watching a content creator’s work is someone who recognizes the value of that industry.
Today, content creation has grown into one of the world’s biggest creative industries, with young Nigerians driving much of its success. Yet many creators are struggling because the cost of cameras, lenses, lighting, and other equipment has soared as the naira continues to lose value against the dollar.
As a photographer, this is one of the reasons I support a Peter Obi presidency. I believe his understanding of the economy, combined with a competent team, would focus on restoring economic stability and strengthening the naira, making professional equipment more affordable for creators.
Beyond that, I believe he would engage with stakeholders in the creative industry and recognize it as a serious contributor to economic growth and youth employment.
And perhaps most importantly, creators would know they have someone who genuinely enjoys and consumes their work. After all, what is content without an audience?

As someone with much older friends, you will meet men and women who would be fond of you for no sexual reason whatsoever. They’ll be generous. They’ll buy you gifts. And they’ll want nothing in return.
It’s more common than you think.
I genuinely ADORE people that are well mannered. People that choose their words with consideration for the feelings of others. People that carry themselves with humility. People that talk with so much gentleness. It's like elegance spills from their mouth when they speak.
