Peter Obi and his media team have a lot of work to do, stop writing those long epistles. These days people (especially Gen Z) relate more to short content like this @PeterObi

One thing that deeply worries me about Nigeria is this:
Some dreams are almost impossible to achieve if you're born, raised, and educated here.
Want to become an astronaut? There is virtually no pathway.
Want to become a world-class professional footballer? For most talented children, the route is far harder than it should be because the development ecosystem is weak.
And there are many other careers where your biggest obstacle isn't your talent, it's your geography.
This is why some Nigerians have to leave the country, not because they hate Nigeria, but because that's the only way to fully pursue their dreams.
That should concern all of us.
A child's future should be determined by their ability and hard work, not by the accident of where they were born.
Nigeria has no shortage of talent.
What we're missing is a system that allows talent to become greatness.
Three front runner aspirants for the office of President of the federal republic…
One aspirants team is lobbying the US to review a longstanding case of money laundering and drug related offences forfeiture…
The others team is responding by reminding the former of longstanding allegations/ case of bribery…in the US.
Both have hired lobbyists.
Third Candidate stands clear of any scandals…money laundering, corrupt enrichment, bribery or otherwise. Has persisted in saying that any credible allegations of malfeasance while in office will result in him stepping down from the race. Has made the same challenge for years now and still…crickets.
And you say you don’t know who the best candidate is ???
My brethren in the lord…your character is suspect!
I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.
One thing became clear:
Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.
Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.
This isn't about politics.
It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.
I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.
Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.
If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

Can you imagine how many approvals, contracts, payments and signatures happen before public money becomes 48 properties owned by one man?
Corruption cases like this should leave Nigerians asking:
Where did the system fail?
Budget implementation?
Procurement?
Internal audit?
Asset declaration?
Accountability shouldn't begin with asset recovery. It should begin long before public resources can be diverted in the first place.
Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II
Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria
Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.
Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.
Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”
Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.
We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.
We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.
State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.
We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.
A NEW Nigeria is POssible. -PO
