I need £13,000 by 27 September 2026 to make this dream possible.
I know asking strangers to believe in me is a big ask. But I’m asking anyway.
Please TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
If you can Donate.

Peter Obi just raised a point every Nigerian, especially every young Nigerian should sit and think hard about.
Nigeria gained independence in 1960.
Yet 66 years later, no Nigerian born into an independent Nigeria has ever become President of Nigeria.
Read that again.
We were born after colonial rule. We grew up pledging allegiance to Nigeria. We were educated in Nigeria. We built businesses in Nigeria. We became doctors, lawyers, engineers, professors, innovators, soldiers, activists and entrepreneurs.
And generation after generation, young Nigerians have heard the same sentence.
“You are the leaders of tomorrow.”
But when does tomorrow actually arrive?
This is not simply about putting a younger person in Aso Rock. It raises a much bigger question about generational transfer of power. How can a nation overwhelmingly populated by young people continue producing national leadership from generations born before the nation itself became independent?
And then we wonder why so many young Nigerians feel disconnected from politics.
Why they would rather japa.
Why some believe their dreams have a better chance of surviving outside Nigeria than inside it.
The painful irony is that Nigeria does not have a shortage of brilliant young people. Nigerians are leading companies, hospitals, universities, technology firms, creative industries and institutions around the world. So perhaps the question is no longer,
“Are Nigerian youths ready to lead?”
Perhaps the question should be,
“Is Nigeria ready to allow a new generation to lead?”
Because you cannot keep calling people the leaders of tomorrow while keeping tomorrow permanently one election away. And this should go beyond Peter Obi, Tinubu, APC, PDP, ADC or any individual politician. This is a conversation about Nigeria.
A country cannot endlessly recycle yesterday and expect young people to believe in tomorrow.
Nigeria's next generation should not just be campaign crowds. They should not just be social media warriors. They should not just be voters politicians remember every four years.
They must become councillors, legislators, governors, ministers, party leaders, policy makers. And eventually, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
1960 to 2026 = 66 years.
How much longer should the “leaders of tomorrow” have to wait for tomorrow?
Ka m bịakwanụ.
UNBELIEVABLE STAT: PETER OBI SAID NO NIGERIAN BORN AFTER INDEPENDENCE HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT 🤦🏾♂️😳
How do we expect men born in a slave (Colonial) mentality to fix current problems?
Now you know why Roads and FAKE Loans to students are the highlight of Tinubu’s Presidency!
I made a website about @PeterObi. It details his entire life, his roots, offices held, source of wealth, documented donations, achievements as a governor, and more.
When they ask you what Peter Obi did as governor, send them https://t.co/MJy4SuUuXH
Retweet this to get it far!
I’m asking the internet to do something scary:
*Please Take a chance on me*
My name is Assumpta. I’m a Nigerian creative writer living with cerebral palsy, and I’ve spent my entire life learning how to pursue opportunities in a world that doesn’t always make room for my body
Man Peter obi is the only nigerian politican I feel actually relates with the average nigerian. He feels so real that it almost feels unrealistic that someone like him exists in that space
“Whether you want to vote for Peter Obi for president or not, it should baffle you that a man has made it to that level of prosperity and capacity, as far as politics, power and influence are concerned, and yet you cannot pin anything on him.
Do you know how strange that is in this country? If there’s anything they could have found, they would have found it by now!”
— Gospel Minister, Lawrence Oyor.
Perhaps one of the biggest problems Nigerians have is forgetfulness.
If you deny Nigerians light for 7 days and you give them light one day on the 8th day, They will forget the previous 7 days.
“Every day, Peter Obi comes out to tell Nigerians what he will do about insecurity, the economy and other issues. Does it mean Nigerian news media can’t invite President Tinubu for an interview so he can also tell Nigerians his plans and why they should vote for him in 2027?”
— Young Nigerian youth calls out Nigerian news media.

Fuel in Nigeria is now selling for as much as N1,380 per litre in some parts of the country.
Four years ago, NO NIGERIAN would have believed that we could ever buy fuel ⛽ for even N500 per litre. Today, we are talking about N1,300 and above.
And it doesn't stop there.
The Nigerian government collected a record N21.6 trillion in tax revenue in 2024, then collected N28.3 trillion in 2025, while the 2026 revenue target has been raised to a staggering N40.71 trillion.
So tell me, what exactly are Nigerians getting in return?
The government keeps finding new ways to collect more from the people, while Nigerians continue to struggle with fuel prices, transportation costs, food prices and the rising cost of living.
We are being asked to pay more and more. But what are we getting in return?
Because from where I am standing, it feels like a government that keeps taking, but never gives enough back.
“FG is telling us to manage but take a look at Wike’s convoy in PH, look at the amount of cars. Imagine the amount of fuel those cars will consume for an ordinary Minister”

In Iran, between 88% and 94% of the entire population is educated. In Saudi Arabia, 97.9% of the entire population is educated. In Iraq, 84.69% of the entire population is educated.
These are some of the top Islamic countries.
In short, they have higher basic literacy rates than the United States.
Why does such a significant educational gap exist in Northern Nigeria? And what is the basis for some of the extremist views about Western education in this part of the world?
We need to ask harder questions.
“Nigerians, please come to my rescue. Access Bank has kp@!d me. All my savings have been cleared, all the money in my account. I’ve been inside the bank with my kids since morning. Access Bank has defrauded me, and they have refused to pay me back my money. They want me to kp@!”

A convoy of the First Lady who isn't constitutionally recognized as an office holder boasts of more than 80 cars.
These are the people telling you to endure and sell Akara and Kuli Kuli.
Your mumu no too much like this
Nigeria readily has 36-year-olds still struggling to find their footing, alongside 19-year-olds who are outwardly high-functioning but already exhausted and depressed.
People of every age are deprived not only of tangible things, but of the ordinary conditions that make a life feel liveable: a functional public transport system, a public park where one can sit and decompress after a day’s work, the time and money to visit a loved one, the leisure to pursue romance, and the basic freedom to imagine a future beyond survival.
And yet, people will look at one’s hatred of that thing in Aso Rock and everything it represents and say, “Don’t be emotional about politics.”
But people are concerned about governance precisely because governance determines the texture of their lives. Nigerian sociological debates are rarely centred on what social security should provide, what a humane immigration or residency system should look like, or how a society ought to accommodate the needs of its people. More often, the conversation is: “70 people were killed last night, and 150 displaced.”
Those who reduce all of this to cheap political talking points are perhaps fortunate that Nigerians are not quite the things they sometimes claim to be. In some societies, supporting a government that presides over this degree of dysfunction would not merely cost you friendships or social approval, you would genuinely worry about your safety.
People are dying like rats, the systems of human livelihood has been purposely destroyed, and they want to preach about civility. Lol, I blame those debating.
Nigerians don’t actually have "resilience."
We just have an abnormal tolerance for abuse.
We have normalized:
• Paying taxes and still buying your own transformer
• Buying food at 300% inflation and laughing about it on social media
• Spending 4 hours in traffic to earn money that buys nothing
We are not resilient. We are complacent. And that’s why nothing changes.
The think pieces forget that these men became pastors when it wasn’t “profitable” to be one.
There weren’t many “rich” pastors at that time. At least not in Nigeria
Infact, Pastors back then were known to be poor people
