Celebrating My Eldest Brother at 75
Today, 30th August 2026, I celebrate my eldest brother, Dominic Ositadimma Obi, who turns 75. I celebrate him not merely because he is my elder brother or because of his age, but because he is an exemplary human being.
When I was Governor of Anambra State for eight years, he never came to my office or the Governor’s Lodge for a day seeking favours, as many might have expected. He is a planner and contractor who builds homes for people, yet not once did he ask me for a government contract.
Whenever we met, he would warmly embrace me and tell me that he was fine. He would then solemnly remind me to keep doing what I promised the people and never bring a bad name to the family and my community. He would tell me that whatever difficulties he was going through, many others were worse off, and that I should do my best for society.
I later came to understand that this was not peculiar to him alone. My family members had actually held a meeting and resolved that none of them would take advantage of my position as Governor. They decided that whatever good name I was building for the Obi family and Agulu must be protected. The same principle extended to my children.
Today, at 75, my beloved brother remains deeply concerned about Nigeria. Whenever we speak, he is full of prayers and good wishes. He constantly reminds me that if I have the opportunity to serve Nigeria, I should do so with honesty, integrity, and the interest of the people at heart.
Brother Dom, I thank God for the gift of your life and for the example you have set for our family. Your integrity, humility, contentment, and sense of responsibility are qualities worthy of celebration.
May God Almighty, who has graciously been with you all these years, grant you good health, His abundant grace, and blessings.
Happy 75th birthday, my dearest brother. -PO
We, members and leaders of the ADC, and other well-meaning Nigerians, lovers of democracy, are saying that our democracy must not be killed. We say NO to a one-party system and for that today we’re calling out Nigerians who believe in unity, peace, and security of our country to join us as we defend democracy in our land.

The reason I said this, is so you people can understand how criminal justice works. It is embarrassing seeing you people spout nonsense everytime a crime is committed.
When you get to court, you'll see that
- the person making the allegation must prove it.
- there is no belief without evidence.
- the testimony of the person you're accusing must be heard.
- your evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt
- you'll narrate everything that you claimed happened and the other side will poke holes in your testimony to extract the truth and convince the court.
- the accused is innocent until you can prove they are guilty.
- there is no emotion in court, only proof. Can you prove the accused is guilty of the crime youre alleging?
- there is no "All men" in court. The court room is not a zoo.
- Every case is treated independently. There is no such thing as believing an allegation simply because the previous 5 turned out to be guilty. A new case gets its own fresh trial. You'll prove your case. The outcome of other cases is irrelevant.
Again, go to court and learn how criminal matters are adjudicated so you stop sounding like rams on social media.
The more Muslim terror takes place, the louder the left screams "Islamophobia" and "racism."
They use it as a weapon. A sword to cut our vocal cords.
They demand we remain silent as they literally kill us.
But I only need one word to respond:
No.
@maxvayshia It is not a war, America is simply trying to do what it did in Venezuela. All they need to do is to identify a proper replacement for Khamenei and the problem gets solved.
Politics of Zero Humanity
It is profoundly disturbing that while we, the politicians, continue to obsess over the 2027 elections—spending our energy scheming about how to capture, grab, and run the next election—the first two months of 2026 have reportedly seen the killing of over 1,000 Nigerians and the abduction of several thousand others.
This is the painful reality confronting our nation. From Zamfara State to Kwara, Ondo, Kebbi, Edo, Benue, Adamawa, Plateau, and many other states, families have buried loved ones, and communities have been emptied by gunshots and fear.
In over 25 states across all geopolitical zones this year alone, there have been major violent attacks on innocent citizens, kidnappings by armed bandits, mass shootings, village invasions, and brazen assaults on worshippers and travellers. The scale of bloodshed and the number of deaths in just two months in Nigeria are even worse than what we see in countries officially at war. Yet the urgency with which we discuss these tragedies does not match the urgency of our discussions surrounding zoning formulas, party structures, and campaign strategies.
This is the tragedy of our politics.
We debate power sharing while citizens are sharing funeral programs. I watched in tears yesterday as families in the Doruwa Babuje community in Plateau State buried their dead after attacks by armed terrorists, but our media and leaders were focused on discussions about party issues and the 2027 elections, when we aren't even sure we will be alive to see it, given all the deaths happening in our country today. We strategise about 2027 while Nigerians struggle to survive 2026. This is inhumane.
We must elevate human life to a sacred status in our national priorities. Leadership is not about winning elections; it is about saving lives. We can, and we must, aspire to a Nigeria devoid of bloodshed—a Nigeria where governance is measured not by political dominance but by the safety and dignity of its people.
History will not remember how many strategies we perfected for 2027; it will remember whether we acted when Nigerians were dying. We must choose Nigerian lives over politics. We must put Nigerians first.

Now that I'm single, I go to work, come back, cook my own food and eat.
When I'm too tired, I simply buy from the nearest eatery. On lighter days I wash my clothes, clean the house, and handle everything else.
So when I get married, I'll still come home from work and cook for myself? Wash my own clothes? Then what exactly is the point of marriage?
Should I hire a cook too? So my wife can just give birth to children and collect allowance?
If all I want is a roommate, several friends have been begging to move in with me already.
I want a wife. A genuinely supportive woman. Not a glorified roommate with occasional sex on her own terms.
If I cannot lead my wife,
If she refuses to cook for me,
If she won't wash my clothes,
Then marriage offers me zero advantage over my current life. In that case I would rather stay single.
Above all, love God.
