I like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Bassirou Diomaye Faye for his victory in the Senegalese Presidential election. This triumph stands significantly as a testament to the beauty of democracy and the unwavering power of the people.
The OBIDATTI Campaign Finances.
Nigerians donated N575,976,994.
Peter Obi donated N800,000,000.
He has now rendered an account of his campaign finances to Nigerians, & asked for an external auditors to audit the Campaign finances of the Labour Party as well.
You have only two types of political leaderships in Nigeria: Peter Obi & others.
This is unprecedented in the History of elections & campaigns in Nigeria; no leading presidential candidate has ever rendered account of their campaign finances to Nigerians. Go and Verify; my principal is accountability in human form. 👏👏
This mindset is the key to success:
In 2002, Charlie Rose interviewed Will Smith on his television show.
During the interview, he tells a story from his childhood about his father asking him and his little brother to rebuild a 16x30 wall on the front of his shop.
The task was understandably daunting for the two boys:
"I remember standing back looking at that wall saying, there's gonna be a hole here, forever."
But a year and a half of daily work later, they completed the wall.
Reflecting on the experience, Will Smith offered a piece of timeless wisdom:
"You don't try to build a wall...You don’t start by saying, I’m going to build the biggest, baddest wall that’s ever been built. You say, I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid...you do that every single day, and soon you have a wall."
This is a powerful reminder for life:
No matter how big the task or project may seem at the start, you just have to lay one brick.
The wall may be daunting, but today's brick is all that matters.
Extraordinary results are simply the macro result of tens, hundreds, or thousands of tiny daily actions.
Remember: Small things become big things.
So today and all days, let's lay one brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid...
@Onyeka7chukwu @NkyEzenwa You are not Benin. Benin people don't bear Igbo names. The main tribes or ethnic group that make up Edo state knows themselves and they have, any other na just cut on join and you are part of cut and join cos of shared Boundaries. Asaba people in Delta never deny their Igboness.
In addition, as I said immediately after the Supreme Court judgement, that this year 2024, beginning from the end of first quarter, we are going to embark on a Thank You tour to the various places we have been to, in order to physically appreciate our supporters.
Yesterday, we commenced the public accounting process for Obi-Datti Campaign Funds for the 2023 general election, starting with the crowdfunding, which was where we asked the general citizens to contribute to our endeavour.
@Deputyzaddy@Abiginwa1 He is not. I read it in the news yesterday (I think from Nairaland)that CBN have sold dollars to banks for the first time in 5 months.
I married the first non-Nigerian I dated. Two of my friends married the first non-Nigerians they dated. And there is another one who is about to propose to the first non-Nigerian he ever dated.
These three friends are in completely different circles and don’t know each other and they all went to Zimbabwe. I’m the only one that went to Ghana.
Come to think of it, my brother in law, who grew up in Nigeria, is also planning to marry a Zimbabwean.
Gentlemen, your wives are in Zimbabwe. Although their “lobola” is high, they buy you gifts on Valentine’s Day.
@bilyamin_ishaq@PIDOMNIGERIA Having noticed the strategy Obi deployed, those Northern muslims started crying on timeline, calling Obi all kind of names.
A lot of you got carried away by what was playing out, same way you got carried away when the establishment hijacked ENDSARS.
@bilyamin_ishaq@PIDOMNIGERIA They did... it might not be in large numbers but Christians in the North, I don't mean middle belt.
Do you know that Obi risk his life going to Christian section of Borno? He is the FIRST candidate to ever do that since Nigeria was created. They voted for him. This is the image
@AderonkeOkeleye Let me just say this here. make sure you only keep this your nonsense online... cos a time will come people will start dealing you fools offline... cos most of you still think this politics
Today, as part of my World Sick Day activities, I visited the College of Nursing Sciences at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala. During the visit, I donated N20 million to support the training of health workers, particularly nurses.
