This was Peter Obi in 2016.
He spoke at the Platform conference.
He spoke about frugality,
He spoke on cutting governance costs,
He spoke on responsible stewardship of public funds by government officials,
This was 10 years ago.
Same consistency. Same integrity.
Alex Barbir Takes The Message Global, Speaking On Daystar International Television About The K!llings Of Innocent Christians And The Ongoing M@ssacres Carried Out By Fulani Arm€d Groups In Nigeria Under Tinubu..🇳🇬
I met this 14-year-old boy, Okpako-Onyokoko Ovie Joel, from Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, and I have been so impressed by his exploits.
36 international awards in Mathematics at just 14 years old.
He is a star, and the world will know him.
Happy Birthday to Peter Obi, my dearest Big Bro:
I will never forget your kindness to my beloved parents. Thank you for the respect you showed them, for your many visits to Abba, where you gave to Daddy and Mummy the most precious gifts: your time and your attention.
Thank you for walking this still-unbearable journey of grief with my siblings and me.
I remember how you regaled Daddy and Mummy with your stories until we started joking about your obsession with the “GDP of Malaysia.” But your obsession spoke of hope: your hope for Nigeria, your belief in what Nigeria could be. A belief that has always been practical, grounded in numbers and in reality.
I remember when you came to support me as I was being honored by the United Nations Foundation in New York, and I teased you about the inexpensive hotel you were staying in, and you shrugged and said, “it’s just a place to sleep, why do I need to be in an expensive place?”
And then only days later, you once again exhibited your incredible generosity to the causes you believe in, and it reminded me of all the hospitals and schools and churches you have supported over the years, and often without fanfare. You have always been clear about what your priorities are, what matters to you, what you believe should matter, and that is deeply admirable.
I have always admired your humane pragmatism, how you are willing to talk to almost anyone if it will bring about a good outcome.
And how you believe in certain ideals without being an ideologue.
And how you see people as people, knowing that human value is not measured in material terms.
And how you are able to laugh at yourself, and laugh when I tease you about your ‘one shoe and one shirt.’
And how you have always been consistent in the core of who you are.
Thank you for your compassion and your circumspection. For your honesty and your humour. For your willingness to acknowledge flaws, yours and others’, knowing that nobody is perfect. For your fuss-free kindness and your humility that is never performative.
I am inspired by your intellectual curiosity, your eagerness to learn, your genuine love of education (which is why you sought out, and honored, Daddy all those years ago when you learned that he was Nigeria’s first professor of statistics.)
Sometimes it is the simplest of language that captures the most complex of things, and so I will end with simplicity: You are a good man. You are loved. You are appreciated.
May your eyes continue to light up when you talk about the lovely confident Margaret (Thank God she agreed for you!) and your lovely children, A and E.
May joy follow you and yours always.
Mummy called you her ‘first son,’ my siblings and I call you our 'big bro,' and I cannot wait to call you ‘My President.’
I cannot wait for January 16, 2027, when I, with personal pride in you and with hope for what Nigeria can become, will cast my vote for you and your running mate, Former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
Chukwu dube gi. God Keep you.
With love, Chimamanda Adiche

Good day @inecnigeria it's been 46 DAYS!
You still haven't revealed the name of the staff who gave Wike’s aide @OlayinkaLere Access to your back-end server, or citizens' private details⚠️‼️
Today, I paid a condolence visit to my dear brother, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, following the passing of his beloved mother. I prayed that Almighty God grants her eternal rest and comforts him, his family, and all who mourn her.
I also visited the family of my departed elder brother, the highly revered Reverend Dr William Okoye, whose passing is a great loss to our nation and to humanity. Rev. Okoye lived a life of faith, sacrifice, and unwavering service to God and humanity. His legacy will continue to inspire generations.
Thereafter, I paid a visit to a dear brother, Mr Isaac Fayose, who was also recently bereaved, to express my heartfelt sympathies and solidarity.
In moments of grief, standing with one another is one of the greatest expressions of our shared humanity. I pray that Almighty God grants the departed eternal rest and comforts every family in mourning. -PO
🛑🇧🇫- Captain Ibrahim Traore on why the government wants to control the flow of international students.
He said they are currently counting the number of Burkinabè students who are studying overseas. Out of 1000 students in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, over 800 of them left the country without the government knowing.
Our embassy over there has no record of them. And guess what those 800 people are studying? Charia law and Islamic laws and none of them is learning a trade.
So, he asked: where are they intending to apply those laws? In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫? Not here. Captain said he is going to bring them back home, and if they refuse, then they are no longer Burkinabè.
Will your country ever address this? Radical islam is a cancer that needs to be addressed. If we pretend as if it’s not a threat to Africa, we are just fooling ourselves. Terrorism started with them. Remember, the imperialists are always using religion and ethnicism to divide Africans.
Oyo Teacher: The kidnappers began washing our clothes when we started to smell — that’s why we looked so clean when we were released.
Moi: Issokay, awon kidnappers ti di ala gbafọ́.
His wife, his son, his six young daughters, his son's wife and her three-month-old baby, all slaughtered in his own home after terrorists declared "you're gonna learn the hard way."
This is what the media under Tinubu has refused to show you.
To the world
My name is Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo and today I speak not with hatred but with a heart full of pain and faith
A few days ago Fulani herdsmen sent a threatening letter to me and to members of my church
The letter was written in both Hausa and English and its message was terrifying
They vowed to attack me and kill me soon just as they killed nine of my relatives
Copies of these threatening letters have already been handed over to the security operatives
Many people have asked me if I am afraid
My answer is no
I am not afraid because my life is in the hands of Almighty God
The Bible says in Psalm 118:6
The Lord is on my side I will not fear What can man do unto me
I know what it means to bury those I love
I know what it means to wipe the tears of children who watched their parents murdered
I know what it means to stand before grieving families whose only crime was refusing to deny Jesus Christ
Now they say I will be next
But I ask the world
What is my crime
Is my crime that I speak for widows who have no voice
Is my crime that I cry for orphaned children whose parents were murdered
Is my crime that I tell the stories of persecuted Christians in Nigeria so the world will not forget them
Is my crime that I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and refuse to remain silent while innocent people are killed
If that is my crime then I will continue until my last breath
Jesus Himself warned us in John 15:20
If they persecuted Me they will also persecute you
I did not choose this path because it is safe
I chose it because truth must never bow before terror
They may threaten my life but they cannot silence the truth
They may kill the messenger but they cannot kill the message
Romans 8:35 says
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword
The answer is no
Nothing can separate us from His love
Today I ask the world not to look away
Remember the widows
Remember the orphans
Remember the innocent Christians who continue to suffer simply because of their faith
Stand with us in prayer
Stand with us in truth
Stand with us in demanding justice for every innocent life
And if one day my voice is silenced let the world remember that I never carried a weapon
My only weapon was the truth
My only mission was to defend the persecuted
My only desire was to let the world know that the blood of innocent people cries out before God
As Paul declared in 2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight I have finished the race I have kept the faith
May God strengthen every persecuted believer
May He comfort every grieving family
And may the light of Christ shine even in the darkest valleys until justice and peace prevail
