An IGBO man walks into a bank in LAGOS and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to DUBAI on business for four weeks and needs to borrow N5,000.
The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the IGBO man hands over the keys to a brand new Mercedes Benz S class 500 parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the log book and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the IGBO man for using
a N30 Million Mercedes Benz as collateral against a N5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Mercedes Benz into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Four weeks later, the IGBO man returns, repays the N5,000 and the interest, which comes to N150.41. The loan officer says, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely but we are a little puzzled.
While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow N5,000.
The IGBO man replies: Where else in
LAGOS can I park my car for four weeks for only N150.41 and expect it to be there when I return.

Message to Obidients
I have said that the Obidients are the greatest political resource for Nigeria’s political transformation.
Now, listen
Forget the primaries
Focus on driving @PeterObi to the presidency
30 good legislators would not change Nigeria
1 truly transformative President will change Nigeria.
Focus on Peter Obi. Support NDC. Get to work
The only name that resonates throughout every sphere of Nigeria is His Excellency Peter Obi, CON. Obi emerges with profound vision, embodying the collective youth aspirations, the citizenry's enduring dreams, and a mandate to unify Nigeria for substantive advancement, tranquility, and prosperity.
Good morning to all the 53 African Nations.
I welcome you today to our festival of the hatewatchers where our sister country Mexico 🇲🇽 will be playing against the Asian country, South Africa 🇿🇦.
Reintroducing myself:
Ayohandro Vasalaquez Guadarabiamila.
Introduce yourself 🙏
I walked into a store to make two photocopies.
I'm billed 30 cents. Too small to pay with card. I'm in a limbo.
I turn to the Sicilian woman besides me for help. She gives me 1 euro.
I return back the change. She asks me to keep it.
I told her that's not how i was raised.
Dear Lord,
Instead of you to let South Africa win today, please take my President.
This is hard for me, especially as someone who loves his President so much - but it is a price I am willing to pay.
Instead of giving the Bathong Masafanizoka joy, please take my President.
PRESS STATEMENT
OBIDIENT MOVEMENT REJECTS THE APPOINTMENT OF THEO ABU AGADA AND DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FROM NDC LEADERSHIP AND TANKO YUNUSA
The attention of the Obidient Movement has been drawn to the appointment of Theo Abu Agada as Director of New Media and Strategic Communications by the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
We condemn this appointment in the strongest possible terms.
This appointment is not just insensitive. It is a direct insult to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the Obidient Movement, and the millions of Nigerians who have stood firmly behind a movement built on competence, character, justice, accountability, and people-centred politics.
A party that claims to value the Obidient Movement cannot turn around and appoint a man whose public record is filled with repeated attacks, insults, and open hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients. You cannot disrespect the largest support base within your political structure and still pretend you are building unity.
Theo Abu Agada has publicly described supporters of their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in insulting terms. He has questioned Peter Obi’s capacity, portrayed him as a threat to free speech, accused his supporters with reckless language, and repeatedly made statements that show clear contempt for the same movement NDC now expects to energise its public communication.
Even worse, he once claimed that Peter Obi had “unleashed his IPOB supporters on Nigerians.” That kind of statement goes beyond political disagreement. It is a dangerous attempt to link their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients to IPOB, and by extension paint the movement with the brush of extremism and terrorism. No serious political party that respects Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement should reward such a person with a sensitive communications position.
Can NDC appoint someone who has publicly insulted and disparaged Rabiu Kwankwaso or the Kwankwasiyya Movement into a sensitive communications position and expect Kwankwasiyya supporters to clap for it? Can NDC reward someone who has repeatedly attacked Kwankwaso and still claim it respects his movement?
If the answer is no, then why does NDC think it can do this to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement?
The NDC leadership must explain how such a person passed through any serious political vetting process for a sensitive communications role. New Media and Strategic Communications is not a decoration. It is the public voice of a party. Appointing someone with a history of hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement into that office sends a very clear message, and the message is disrespect.
This also raises serious questions about the role and effectiveness of Tanko Yunusa as the leader of the Obidient Movement.
What exactly is Tanko doing?
In the Labour Party, he was always seen around the leadership, taking pictures and standing close to Peter Obi, yet the same Labour Party repeatedly disrespected Peter Obi and the movement he was supposed to represent.
In ADC, the same pattern repeated itself. The Obidient Movement was treated with disregard, and its value was undermined.
Now in NDC, the same thing is happening again. The party leadership continues to disregard the Obidient Movement, even though Obidients remain the largest, loudest, and most active stakeholder group in this political alignment. That disregard has now reached their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, directly through the appointment of someone whose public record shows open hostility towards him.
So we ask again: what exactly is Tanko doing?
Is he there to defend the movement, or to take pictures?
Is he there to protect Peter Obi’s political leverage, or to stand in rooms like a mannequin?
Is he there to represent Obidients, or to lock comment sections whenever people ask uncomfortable questions?
Tanko Yunusa must answer a simple question: what the hell is he doing?
The Obidient Movement cannot continue to be treated as a crowd for rallies, online engagement, and political optics, while those who openly insult the movement are put in strategic positions where they will continue the insults.
We demand the following:
1. The immediate reversal of Theo Abu Agada’s appointment.
2. A public explanation from the NDC leadership on how this appointment was approved.
3. A formal apology to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement.
4. A clear commitment from NDC that no individual with a public record of hostility towards Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement will be placed in any sensitive strategic communication role.
5. A full explanation from Tanko Yunusa on what he is doing as leader of the Obidient Movement and why this pattern of disrespect keeps repeating itself under his watch.
The Obidient Movement is not a spare tyre. We are not political furniture. We are not a movement to be used when convenient and disrespected when power is being shared.
If NDC wants the energy, credibility, reach, and sacrifice of Obidients, then it must treat the movement with respect.
Anything short of that is unacceptable.

Prophet of Thoughts
For and on behalf of Obidients, since the leadership of the Movement is sleeping.
There is nobody in this 2027 election that is more qualified to run for President like Peter Obi
There’s a reason why he’s still the most competent in Nigeria today ..
Go and verify.

@FABConnects Do not loan any money to Tinubu, he isn't going to stay there, he will be leaving that Aso rock villa soon, and any money you loan to him, is for personal use, you'd have to collect it yourselves. And we will defend Nigeria's properties with everything. You've been warned
@FABConnects Any money you borrow to tinubu @officialABAT led government is gone and we’re not paying back.
Don’t make that mistake, if he insists, ask for collateral and this collateral should be his private property because any money you lend base on country demand is gone, we won’t repay.
@ParallelFacts@SallyStorm12 I believe all the people asking for First Abu Dhabi Bank

Do well to send your prayers to them. Nigerians deserves better.
