Was heading out to church early in the morning today and I captured this, this is a street, inside an estate, how much more major roads. Waste management is appalling, for a state that prides itself on being a mega city. But guess what? Nobody is asking the questions, they just want to flaunt their useless broom, cap and take power again.
“I remember back then that whenever f!ght happen for in a community and it involves army officers getting b£aten by the community people, make everybody just run comot for that community cos when the Army people come back, it’ll be dedly. Now fast forward to 2026, band!ts k!dnapp£d Army general and his wife, kp@! the general and the entire Army haven’t gone anything about it till now”

Dear Chinedu @GRVlagos
I have no interest in descending into the mudslinging and distractions you appear to thrive on. My focus remains on the important work before us - supporting the efforts of the Lagos State Government to ensure the safety, well-being, and prosperity of Lagosians.
If being committed to public service, good governance, and the protection of the interests and heritage of Lagosians is what you choose to describe as bigotry, then I make NO APOLOGIES for standing firmly by those principles. Public service is not a tea party - but how can you know what it entails? Nemo dat quod non habet.
For the sake of clarity, I would advise you, in your saner moments, to acquaint yourself with my record in public service - from my appointment as Special Adviser on Education to Mr. Governor in 2019 to my present tour of duty at the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources. The record is public, and it speaks for itself.
As for the labels and accusations, I will leave others to judge them on their merits. I have no intention of engaging in personal attacks or trading insults with a political nomad driven by ignorance and needless hatred.
I wish you all the best.

Father’s Day: A Time for Reflection
Today is Father’s Day. After attending church service and in my routine reflection, I find myself once again asking a difficult question: Are we cursed, or are we the cause?
I grew up in a Nigeria that was more united and peaceful. In my primary, secondary school and university days, students related freely without divisions of religion, ethnicity, or region. We simply saw ourselves as Nigerians.
After university, I entered business in an environment where partnerships were built on trust and competence, not tribe or religion. I also lived in Nigeria, where the naira commanded respect, and Nigerians enjoyed dignity abroad, with easier global mobility and much respect for our passports.
I lived in Nigeria, where I travelled across the country—from Onitsha to Lagos, Maiduguri, and Calabar—without fear. Roads connected people, and life was more secure. Nigeria’s Armed Forces and the Police were also widely respected for their role in global peacekeeping and international stability.
Beyond security and unity, there was also a stronger sense of public trust in institutions, with greater confidence in elections, a clearer culture of accountability in governance, more stable universities that served as centres of intellectual excellence and national pride, a more functional and accessible healthcare system, and relatively better-performing basic infrastructure such as electricity, roads, and public utilities, which—though imperfect—were far less chaotic than what we experience today.
Today, as a father reflecting on Nigeria, I am pained that much of this has changed. Insecurity has grown, national unity has weakened, and many citizens no longer feel safe. Opportunities have also diminished for the younger generation compared to what we once had.
It is also worrisome that Nigeria’s influence in global affairs appears reduced, as seen in recent international gatherings such as the just-concluded G7 meeting, where African countries like Egypt and Kenya were invited, while Nigeria was absent. Whether symbolic or not, it reflects a decline in standing we cannot ignore.
As fathers, we must not only lament. We must not bequeath this reality to our children. We owe them a better Nigeria built on security, opportunity, fairness, and national pride.
A key part of achieving this is active civic participation. We must obtain our Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), vote responsibly, and remain committed to protecting the integrity of our votes. Change will not come from complaints alone but from citizens who choose and defend accountable leadership.
With responsibility, unity, and determination, we can together build the new Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
"In 1987, American Express introduced platinum card for 5000 people, here is mine, they later introduced the Black card (Centurion card) in 1999 for 1000 people on the planet, here is mine. I had a viable business and while I don't regret going into Politics, it made me poorer." - Peter Obi, NDC Presidential Candidate.
Peter Obi’s message to the Northern Arewa Elders was bold, direct, and unexpected.
What he said may change a lot of conversations ahead of 2027.
Even his critics are talking. Some People won't like this.
Supporting Education with a visit to Shanahan University
I remain firmly convinced that no nation truly develops without investing deeply in human capital. The more a society invests in education, the more sustainable its development becomes. Education remains the most critical driver of progress; the more educated a state is, the more its prospects to develop become.
Guided by this conviction, I visited Shanahan University, Onitsha, Anambra State, again yesterday, an institution I have supported on several occasions. During the visit, I continued my support with an additional donation of 25 million Naira.
I wish to sincerely commend the management, lecturers, and staff of the university for their dedication and the excellent work they are doing in nurturing a new generation of morally upright, academically sound, and socially responsible leaders. I am particularly encouraged by the vision and commitment of the institution to building a better society through quality education.
I also urge the students to remain focused on their studies and to keep hope alive. The future belongs to them, and with discipline, hard work, and strong values, they can play a vital role in building the New Nigeria we all desire.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
You added $42 billion to our national debt and added only $5 billion to our foreign reserve; and you want us to clap for you. 😂😂
Let's put this into context,
Zubairu has N1,000 in his Zenith bank account and he went to Okechukwu and borrowed N5,000.
He took N3,000 from this N5,000 loan and deposited into his Zenith bank account and the account balance increased to N4,000. And he used the remaining N2,000 to flex suya and kunu.
He now called his girlfriend Yetunde and showed her his balance of N4,000; telling her he's account balance is increasing.
Meanwhile, he is owing Okechukwu N5,000.
Is this a progress for Zubairu or backwardness?
Zubairu is Nigeria (Tinubu).
Okechukwu is World Bank.
Yetunde is the citizenry.

Everything about him is questionable, everything about him is fraudulent.
President of “a now disgraced country”
The problem with people like this Patrick of a guy is that they think because they know how to write that they are smarter than everyone.
He wrote a post where he was taking jabs at Peter Obi and the Obidients and when I asked him who he supports he said he is non partisan.
He is non partisan but comb through his Twitter page and you will see him:
1. Take jabs at Peter Obi
2. Take shots at Obidients
3. Attack Arewa
4. Attack Atiku
5. Attack El Eufai.
But guess who he has never taken a shot at on his twitter page; yep, Bola Tinubu.
When I called him out on it he shared an article he wrote in 2022 against Bola.
It's been 3 years since then and he has never taken a shot at him on his X but he is non partisan.
Meanwhile the middle belt he advocates for is still be massacred under the watch of Bola.
We see through you man.
You are fooling no one.
You have a right to support anyone you want but please stop gaslighting us.
Come out with your full chest and man up.
✌️
BREAKING!!! ONE OF THE BEST DOCUMENTARIES ON PETER OBI IS OUT... As an Obidient, you should be proud of your choice in Peter Obi. Retweet massively pls.
