My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria
Today, being the 1st of July, 2026, I wish to humbly recall that when I decided to contest for the office of President of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.
This vision is anchored on a commitment to unity, inclusion, social justice, equity, and the freedom of every citizen to pursue lawful dreams.
Central to this proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.
Robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress. It serves as the fundamental capital upon which daily life, economic expansion, and the delivery of essential public services depend.
These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.
From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.
Funding and improving the equipment of TVET institutions, through partnerships among government, the private sector, and social entrepreneurs such as faith-based educators, will facilitate apprenticeship opportunities in the private sector, similar to the German dual education system.
The situation in which unemployment remains high while Nigerian entrepreneurs establish businesses elsewhere because skilled labour is scarce must be confronted decisively. Doing so is essential for the common good and for facilitating our transition from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one.
Character and civic education, emphasising the values that foster trust - an essential ingredient for enterprise and leadership - as well as shared national values, will receive significant attention within the tripartite approach to governance that we propose.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@fattylincorn_01 People like Segun pride themselves in being “political strategists”, that’s what feeds them… their dream clients are people like BAT & Atiku… what do you expect him to say. The guy needs a gig, Obi won’t pay, who do y’all think he’ll pitch to?
@ThaBoyYom Even the ones you think are a bit reasonable will still end up showing you why they are still women. 🤦🤦
Everyday you understand why women were not allowed to speak in public in the past.
This is what happens when someone remembers a few buzzwords from Law of Tort but forgets the elementary principles of defamation and hides political hate and intolerance under legal ignorance.
The proposition that a person who has been criticized, attacked, debated, or subjected to political scrutiny has "no reputation left to protect" is not just legally unsound; it is fundamentally contrary to the law of defamation itself.
If that were the law, the more a person is defamed, the less protection he would enjoy. That is absurd.
Defamation law does not protect only spotless reputations. It protects every person's residual reputation from further injury. A claimant is not required to prove universal admiration before approaching the court. The issue is whether the defendant published false and defamatory statements capable of lowering the claimant in the estimation of right-thinking members of society.
Ironically, after correctly stating that the court will consider the words complained of, whether they are facts or opinions, and whether they have lowered the claimant in the estimation of right-thinking members of society, you abandoned the law and substituted it with personal political bias.
And what exactly is the legal basis for the claim that Peter Obi has "no reputation to protect"? Was there a judicial declaration to that effect? Has a court pronounced him devoid of reputation? Or is this merely social media commentary masquerading as legal analysis? Elon won't pay you this way.
The most amusing part is the suggestion that because a public figure is controversial, he cannot sue for defamation. If that were true, presidents, governors, ministers, opposition leaders, celebrities, and business moguls would all be excluded from the protection of the law. Thankfully, the law is far more sophisticated than that.
The court will not be concerned with your personal assessment of Peter Obi's reputation. It will be concerned with whether the statements complained of were defamatory and actionable.
That is Tort Law 101.
Perhaps it is time to revisit the chapter on defamation before offering lectures on who does or does not have a reputation worth protecting.
The confidence with which you have displayed a misunderstanding of settled principles of defamation law is truly remarkable. A little less social media theatrics and a little more revision of Tort Law would have saved this opinion from becoming an exhibit of legal ignorance.

As people are increasingly noticing how quickly their data gets exhausted, I’m genuinely shocked and disappointed that Nigerians are still staying silent about the drastic decline in the quality of service from all our network providers!
What is going on?!
Last October, I and some members of our digital security company arrived in Nigeria for Detty December. From October 2025 to April 2026, we travelled across multiple states for different assignments. The state of internet connectivity in this country is a complete national disgrace!
Every single network MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile is simply unacceptable.
No one can truly rely on any of them.
There is hardly any serious Nigerian whose business, work, or livelihood depends on being constantly online who uses only one ISP. You are forced to subscribe to MTN + Airtel + possibly others as a survival strategy. Yet even with multiple lines active, you still struggle to get consistent 20Mbps speeds in many locations for any meaningful period of time.
MTN FibreX is often hyped as the fastest, but even that is unreliable. One moment it works decently, the next it completely drops. And when it stops connecting you will go through hell calling their helpline or calling MTN out on social media before they will fix it?
You can wait for weeks before MTN even responds to your complaint. Weeks!
You’ve paid for a subscription you couldn’t use, and they will not refund you a single kobo. They simply keep your money.
This is no longer just “bad service.”
This is economic sabotage.
This is holding an entire generation of Nigerians back while our peers in other countries are thriving and very good internet is the least of their worries.
How many freelancers, students, crypto traders, content creators, developers, and small business owners have lost millions because of this nonsense?
How many opportunities have passed us by because Zoom calls refuse to connect, files won’t upload, or VPNs keep disconnecting?
Nigerians, are we going to keep lying to ourselves? Or are we finally going to speak up?

Are you seeing what you are delivering to Nigerians?
Or are you laughing at us in your internal chats while collecting our hard-earned money every month?
If you are a Nigerian struggling with this daily frustration, reply this post and share your worst experience.
Share your state and the network(s) involved. Let’s call out this madness together.
This silence must end!
The entire Aso Rock media team Daniel Bwala, Reno Mockery, FFK, Sunday Dare, Bayo Onanuga, all primary is to attack Peter Obi
The governors are already incentivised to work against Obi
Datti Baba-Ahmed and his brother are motivated to start attacking Obi
Kenneth Okonkwo and the entire Atiku Mikano Boys already mobilised to lunch attacks on Obi
Arabambi reactivated and mobilised against Obi and Apapa is waiting to receive his own Alert
The Data Boys are back into the payroll for just one mission, attack Obi
All these are because Obi is their nightmare. Atiku doesn't pose any threat to them, hence they're not bothered about him.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THE OBIDIENTS ARE LIKE THE CHINESE BATALION, AN IMMOVABLE FORCE.
