Being Obidient will make you hate Nigeria and you won’t even realize it. It takes serious conscious efforts to snap out of it, and you’ll realize that you’re now fully against the progress of the country and it won’t make any sense to you because positive news about the place now makes you feel uneasy, uncomfortable, mixed
Because you need to understand that a country will have ups and downs no matter who is there leading it just like our personal lives, so is this really about Nigeria or personal sentiments? What convinces you that life under your own preferred will be bliss and bloom? Nothing about life or the universe agrees with your state of mind
I really don’t care for the argument but where is this noise when the First Lady’s donates billions.
So far her foundation has spearheaded over N12.9 billion in humanitarian and developmental donations.
N20.45 billion raised from birthday well-wishers to complete the abandoned National Library headquarters in Abuja
N1 billion donated in both 2024 and 2025 toward tuberculosis eradication.
N1 billion donated to victims of banditry and natural disasters in Niger State.
N1 billion to victims of violent attacks and flooding in Plateau State.
N1 billion to victims of the Yelwata attack in Benue State.
N1 billion donated to support cervical cancer treatment programs across the nation.
N1.2 billion support across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
N1.85 billion committed to empowering Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) nationwide.
N1 billion to Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
I can go on
All these are within 3 years.
You guys are not serious
I have met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi the last time and will be voting PBAT next year.
I have also met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi last time but will sit out this election because Peter Obi hasn’t been as inspiring as he was in 2023 and they do not consider the alternatives as better.
I haven’t met a single PBAT supporter that is now supporting Peter Obi or any other candidate( this is my reality)
I believe this administration hasn’t lived up to certain hype but I cannot deny that it’s been reform minded. Helping correct structural issues that have plagued this country far too long.
For example, the recent passage of the state policing bill is by no means a mean feat. That this administration makes it look easy or don’t blow their trumpet so loudly does not diminish the huge significance of the bill and the tireless work that they put into it.
The implementation of the Nigeria Payments System Vision 2028 ( championed by CBN) is another policy that has gone under the radar(I believe we should all read about the policy) . This is one policy that will revolutionize our financial system for good. One that will birth several financial innovation and products. There is no eradication of poverty without financial inclusion and it appears CBN is on an articulated agenda towards a sustainable path.
For some of us, there are enough reasons to stick around this current administration. The alternatives aren’t as inspiring and simply do not have what it takes to out perform this current administration.
I REJECT THE CONCOCTED RESULTS OF THE ADC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES
Following reports of widespread voter disenfranchisement in most parts of the country during the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Primaries yesterday, I unequivocally reject the concocted results being announced.
I had initially stated that I will only accept the outcome of the Primaries if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word. I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party.
There’s no way that about eighty percent of members of the party were not allowed to vote, and you expect me to accept such results. Then what makes us different from the others? The whole idea of the ADC was to give the Nigerian people a platform, to amplify the voices of the downtrodden, and make Nigeria a better place for everyone irrespective of backgrounds, ethnicity, or religion.
A party that criticizes the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that leads to the disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable!

The least corrupt people in public service are politicians.
You see those directors, MD’s and secretaries of federal or state institutions, most of them are extremely corrupt and wicked.
They are like deities. They have spent over 25 years there and understands the system so well. They teach corrupt politicians how to steal successfully.

Amid the flood of felicitations following my convocation as Overall Best Graduating Student of LAUTECH, I find it necessary to address the stir around my NELFUND appreciation post. I accept the praise, life changing offers and the backlash, in good faith. Still, it is only fair to set the record straight.
I hail from a village in Osun State, raised in a modest family of five. I attended public primary and secondary schools, not by choice, but because even the most inexpensive private schools were beyond our means.
Even then, survival itself; food and clothing was a daily struggle. I walked miles to school each morning, while my parents laboured as jacks-of-all-trades to make ends meet.
For nine defining years before I entered university, we lived within sight of basic amenities yet beyond our reach, no electricity, no television; just lanterns and candles. Against these odds, I earned a scholarship and now this distinction.
In my third year, a coursemate’s father, someone I had once tutored academically, gifted me my first smartphone which I am still using till now. On several occasions, lecturers, moved by quiet compassion, provided me with clothing. There are many other instances, too numerous to recount.
So, I say this plainly, not all of us are born with a silver spoon. Some of us climbed the ladder by holding on to every rung of legitimate support we could find.
As an engineering student aspiring to make academic history, should I resort myself to blaming my family’s financial situation for my inability to afford fees and essentials like a reliable smartphone or laptop needed for skills and certifications?
For me personally, NELFUND was not incidental; it was instrumental and to acknowledge what helped one’s journey is neither propaganda nor misplaced allegiance. It is simply an act of appreciation.
Thank you @NELFUND and everyone that contributed to this success!
Greatness awaits all of Us.
Peter Obi built nothing in Anambra when he was Governor.
No schools built by him, no factories, no companies, no malls, no major projects, nothing.
He didn’t even build his own people, never invested in anybody.
No Anambra man can tell you he’s successful today because of Peter Obi.
You can’t build your state, you can’t build your people, so what are you going to do as President?

Funny thing is despite all the internet chaos, no Nigerian has actually come forward with a picture of them playing chess at the louvre.
It was a cheeky caption same as this one I posted 4 years ago.
So much ado about nothing.
Sometimes, the hardest part of life
isn’t the pain you go through but it’s pretending you’re okay so no one has to worry about you.
You smile, you laugh, you show up…but inside, you’re carrying things you don’t even know how to explain.
And the truth is, the strongest people aren’t unbreakable but they’re just the ones
who have learned to hide it the best.
