ALL LIVES MATTER

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity

I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.

I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.

It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.

To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.

No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.

I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

The face of politics will be changed in Nigeria by the grace of God just the way the face of advocacy was changed!

Enough is enough. The killings, abductions of innocent Nigerians, and the unleashing of terror on our people cannot continue. These senseless killings and heinous crimes must stop.

Terror does not ask for your tribe, faith, region, or political affiliation before it strikes. Our response must be stronger than our divisions.

Today on Politics Today, I called on all Nigerians to put aside political, ethnic, and religious differences and stand united against the common enemy threatening our collective future.

Criticise what must be criticised. Demand accountability where it is due. But above all, let us stand together.

You have a right to be foolish, I wouldn’t judge you for that. I have been foolish long enough to learn not to condemn the fool. But you have no right to be evil, and to support a continuation of Nigeria in its current form, is to be complicit in the evil that it is..

PLEASE REPOST.

@PeterObi is best candidate for president of Nigeria, but will lose to the DEMON Tinubu unless the voting system is reformed from violence and corruption to free and fair elections. Will you enact diplomacy to help?

This is a new world-class hospital completed and built in El Salvador by their president with the equivalent of 85billion naira.

An audit by the nigerian senate uncovered 210 TRILLION naira was “missing” from NNPC in 2017-2023.

Nigerian politicians need to be tied and killed.

Hello; @abikedabiri your wide mouth no open again? 🤷‍♂️

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

I really admire how Obidients are following this Datti recent outbursts.

No outrage.
No attack.
No defense.

They just read and continue their scrolling.

It's obvious that they have deep respect for Datti Ahmed and still see him as a member of their Obidient family.

I really salute their maturity.

But something has been bugging me.

Dr. Chudi Nwike was AD national secretary and ACN national vice-chairman (South East)

He was kidnapped along Abuja-Auchi Road in 2013 and eventually murdered.

His killer was caught and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Tinubu became president and granted his killer a presidential pardon.

Why would Tinubu grant the killer of one of his earliest and strongest political allies a presidential pardon?

Something feels off here, and I'm gonna dig until I find out what it is
