A few people like myself, who have an idea of what caused the demolition of the Onitsha central mosque, have told the story but political criminals will not stop peddling cruel lies against Peter Obi.
The demolition of the mosque happened at the climax of Anambra’s political crisis, when the state was run by a dysfunctional government.
The political instability rocking the state at the time gave a chance for unscrupulous elements to perpetrate an ethno-religious crisis. The Onitsha Central mosque was an unfortunate victim.
This happened around January-February 2006, in the heat of the battle involving Ngige and the Ubah brothers (and co), all of whom are now members of the APC. Peter Obi was brought in by the court only about a month to two months later.
Still, Obi showed empathy by visiting the Muslim community worshipping at and living around the mosque, who took refuge at the barracks in Onitsha. He not only visited, but he also donated to their welfare and the reconstruction of the mosque.
El-Rufai, who worked harder than the devil to see Tinubu emerge as President in 2023, packaged the lie that Obi demolished the mosque and forced Northerners to carry ID cards, and sold it to a section of the North.
He targeted to portray Peter Obi as a hater and enemy of Islam and the North. Unfortunately, the thoughtless, illiterate Northern population swallowed the lie and wouldn't vomit it.
Good to see that the Northern Muslim community in Onitsha has spoken up and unearthed the truth. While their revelations should have come earlier, it is still relieving and helpful.✍️
We paid a monitoring visit to Majaga PHC in Toto LGA, in Nasarawa state, the only government health facility serving over 2,800 people.
What we found was alarming.
No water. No pharmacy. No lab. No injection room. Poor labour and consulting rooms. Inadequate beds. No wards. No staff quarters.
What you should see when you see a facility like this is: unsafe deliveries, people unable to access proper healthcare when they should, and a daily risk to lives.
This is not just neglect, it is a threat to the health of an entire community.
We implore the @NphcdaNG, and Gov Abdullahi Sule, to facilitate the immediate repairs of this facility.

I have just seen the VIDEO of Pastor David Ibiyeomie questioning the sense of the people advocating for “Pablo Escobar and Osama Bin Laden” to rule the country.
Do you know the people he’s talking about?✍️
🚨 Youri Tielemans on life at Manchester United so far:
"I've signed more shirts than I did in my entire stay at Aston Villa.
Rashford and Sancho used to say, 'You think you've seen football? Wait until you walk into Carrington wearing a United badge.'
I thought he was exaggerating... he wasn't."
The biggest surprise has been the training. Every session feels like a match. You can't switch off for five seconds because someone will punish you."
Bruno sets that standard. He's talking every minute, demanding more from everyone. If you complete nine good passes, he'll ask why the tenth wasn't better.
Then there's Michael Carrick. He's calm, but he notices everything. He'll pull you aside after training and mention a pass you made twenty minutes earlier. You realise nothing escapes him."
The fans... that's been the biggest shock. You leave the training ground and there are hundreds waiting. You post one picture and suddenly your phone doesn't stop vibrating.
People say Manchester United is the biggest club in the world. You don't fully understand what that means until you become part of it."
Davido seems to understand how to fight APC.
He threatened to report Tinubu to Trump over the freezing of Edo State account and Tinubu immediately called EFCC to unfreeze the account.
Monday Okpebholo called his uncle a dancing governor, and Davido replied by dropping Monday's parallel D7 WAEC result. Okpebholo never reply again.
Bashir Ahmad mocked him for not winning a Grammy, and Davido told him that he's achieved a lot and Bashir's just a small boy who came into politics by accident. Till now, Bashir didn't reply.
Davido cautioned Hope Uzodimma and advised him to embrace peace during his campaigns in Osun State. Hope Uzodimma said Davido is a son to him and also an in-law, he's only coming to Osun in the capacity of APC campaign director and he's not coming to cause trouble.
It's like we really underrated Davido's motion.
Peter Okoye is the FIRST Nigerian celebrity whose clothing line is actually affordable.
Nigerians have cleared out the red cap he wore.
It’s already sold out on the website!
When Paul Okoye married Ivy Ifeoma, many of you on this app screamed “grooming” because of the age gap. Yet Peter Okoye dating Lola at 21 despite their 9-year age difference is suddenly perfectly fine to the same people. The selective outrage & hypocrisy of Nigerians on this app are truly something to behold.
Dear Emeka, I feel almost flattered, but I consider myself far too insignificant to be used as a tool in a purported “cold war.”
Peter Obi is widely known to be a peaceful and highly tolerant person, so much so that some people mistake his tolerance for weakness, without realizing that it is, in fact, one of his greatest strengths.
That said, Nigerians are suffering, and we are grateful that the leader of the party, Seriake Dickson, graciously provided a platform through which Peter Obi and the many Nigerians who believe he is the presidential candidate best positioned to move this country forward can work together.
Especially at a time when the President appeared determined to push the country towards a one-party state and undermine the democratic principles on which our nation has endured.
However, when we see certain things that are not ok, we will, in good faith, respectfully draw the attention of the relevant persons to them, just as I did earlier today when I called @TheoAbuAgada’s attention to the issue.
It is unfortunate that people who do not mean us well and thrive on divisive politics would quickly step in to twist words and create unnecessary tension. But that is okay.
We are a family in the NDC. Nobody is fighting a cold war or a hot war, least of all Peter Obi. Family members may disagree from time to time, and there is nothing wrong with that. What matters is that we remain focused on the larger goal.
Our goal is to market Peter Obi and the party effectively, win the elections, and usher in a better Nigeria. One where you, Emeka, your family, and indeed every Nigerian, including myself, can travel freely and safely, enjoy a good quality of life, access quality healthcare and education, and live with dignity.
A Nigeria where the son of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.

@NigeriaStories Warning Everytime. Please take decisive steps to stop the manufacturing and importation of these fake drugs in our country.
People are losing lives due to these fake drugs.
@yabaleftonline As a young person, these clowns 🤡🤡 are not representing myself and many other reasonable youth in the country.
They are absolutely NOT speaking for us.
@firstladyship We had a forged certificate holder in Buhari as president, see where it landed the country. With Tinubu, I am not surprised where the country is at this time.
We must do everything legitimately possible to push this fraud out of office in 2027.
@firstladyship If you think you're wise, defend Tinubu on his age, background or academic qualifications, you will surely come out realizing that you're actually STUPID!
