Still figuring out what should be here...

[Wisdom Samuel @iamWisdomSamuel]

Nigeria needs a new constitution. A parliamentary federal republic, a purely ceremonial president as head of state, a powerful lower house, led by a consensus coalition government headed by a Prime Minister, an upper house to represent the interests of the nations/1

[Esther Umoh @EstherUmoh10]

The campaign season has began and our work starts with taking the message directly to the people. Through door-to-door campaigns, we must sensitise Nigerians about Peter Obi’s new political home, the NDC, the party’s name and its logo, and where to find it on the ballot.

This election is bigger than any individual. It is about the future we are leaving for our children and the kind of Nigeria we want to build: a country where education and healthcare work, where there are jobs and opportunities, where people can live in security and dignity, and where leadership is accountable to the people.

No voter should walk into a polling unit confused about the party or the symbol to look for. We must reach every street, home and community, educate, mobilise and organise our people.
Less talk, more work.

Peter Obi is the right man for the job.

I think the ccecc is trying to find a cheaper source of cements for it's projects in Nigeria and maybe West Africa.

@olumidecapital Smart move by the Chinese, Nigeria has a very large infrastructure deficit. So, they'd basically be printing money here. Ask Dangote

@basilabia The principle of subsidiarity is very important, moreso in a country like Nigeria.

[Basil @basilabia]

Early this morning, I wrapped up reading Xiaohuan Lan’s magnum opus, “How China Works”, and my key takeaway is that there is no silver bullet as potent as having efficient local governance.

Especially for countries as complex, diverse, and vast like Nigeria.

My honest truth.

If you’re not coming to share ideas with me, please stay in your house.

[AgricQueen @ChimdiIbeawuchi]

One of the signs that you are doing adulthood poorly is when everybody feels entitled to unrestricted access to you (Especially Family and Friends)

As you grow, people should already understand your standards, boundaries and values system before approaching you with certain conversations, behaviors or requests.
If they don’t know set them straight.

Your moral position, social standards and mental discipline should be clear enough that not everyone feels comfortable bringing just anything to your doorstep.

Adults who refuse to define boundaries eventually become emotional dumping grounds, financial rescue centers and victims of constant disrespect.

Boundaries are not pride.
They are a form of self-definition.

The next couple of days will define the future of this nation. This deeper understanding is why I resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as I follow the leadership of, HE Peter Obi, who today embodies the hope and aspiration of a Nigeria that works.  

When I give my word, I keep it. My decision to support HE Peter Obi first led me to the ADC. To continue to honour the promise I am joining the NDC.

This time I am joining the NDC not just as a member but as one running for the FCT Senatorial seat.

I have tidied up all my obligations to the ADC, ensuring a clean transition. I was fortunate to work with great and amazing people whose goal was a better country. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as sub‑committee chair, deputy committee chair, and secretary at various levels.

The experience has been invaluable, and I thank everyone for their support and cooperation.

I have joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) @NigeriaNDCHQ ✌🏽

I am running to win the upcoming NDC primary election to earn the privilege to represent the Oron, Mbo, Okobo, Urue-Offong/Oruko & Udung-Uko constituency in the House of Representatives in 2027.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Wisdom Samuel @iamWisdomSamuel]

@Ssaasquatch @ElishaBG Perhaps. But it's very likely that no other African country will undertake such a project in a long time to come. Until then, the moat will keep "moating"

Thank You, Nigerians

I am profoundly grateful to Nigerians from around the world for your prayers, calls, and solidarity following the incident at the ADC office in Benin yesterday. I especially appreciate your support during this difficult time for the family of the distinguished elder and former Governor of Edo State, Chief John Oyegun, who has served Nigeria honourably in various capacities, as well as for another former Governor, Professor Oserheimen Osunbor. Your support has strengthened my faith in our shared humanity and our collective hope for a better Nigeria. My deep gratitude is reflected in my renewed commitment to serve and build our nation.

Experiences of lawlessness are not new to me. Years ago, the violence and insecurity in Anambra shaped my determination to seek the governorship of the state, convinced that leadership must restore order, security, and public trust. Today, the growing lawlessness across our country calls upon all men and women of goodwill to step forward—not in fear but with a sense of responsibility. As Plato reminded us, the price good people pay for refusing to participate in government is to live under the rule of bad people.

This moment urges Nigerians to be even more resolute in electing leaders defined by competence, commitment, character, and compassion—leaders who prioritise the nation above self and service above power.

Together, with courage and unity, we can build the peaceful, secure, and prosperous Nigeria our people deserve.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@Great8_Grace @AdewuyiRoseline You obviously don't know who you're talking to. This isn't a mentality, it's her view of marriage and an entirely valid one at that. She has consistently maintained this position.
