“I will negotiate with all who seek peace and confront those who seek conflict.” — Mr Peter Obi.
Data kids who are too young to know or remember how turbulent Anambra politics was before Peter Obi became governor should listen to Dele Farotimi for valuable historical perspective on Obi’s exploits in stamping out criminality and restoring stability in the state.

On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’....
Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message from the President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot.
Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up. He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no.
‘Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired. It was at that point that it struck him that he couldn’t show up in his casuals at such a ceremony.
I insisted on taking him to the luxury men’s emporium at Nieman Marcus to buy a smart black suit. When we got there, he was busy doing the Dollar to Naira currency conversions. The suit that was a perfect match for him was a dapper Tom Ford suit with a price tag of 3,985 dollars plus tax. He did the calculations and told me ‘Do you know how many students this amount of money can train in Nigeria?’ I reminded him that he was the governor as well as the special guest, and for the caliber of guests expected at that evening’s occasion, including the mayor, senators and other congressmen, oil barons and captains of conglomerates amongst others, he needed to be dressed in top form.
To cut the story short, he refused to pay what he termed ��that outrageous price’ for the Tom Ford suit and that was how we ended up at Steinmart where he agreed to pay a more acceptable price of 220 dollars, tax inclusive, for a basic men’s suit which he was happy to wear to that evening’s event.
What struck me, was that as we were on the way to the airport to see him off for his return flight back to Nigeria, he reached for his pocket where he brought out an envelope of crisp hundred dollar bills. The amount in the envelope was 3,800 dollars.
He said, ‘Anyanwu, this is the balance of the money I would have paid for the ‘Ford’ suit. If the label on the suit was ‘Peter Obi’, I am wondering if anybody in America will pay that amount for it. I have deducted the amount we paid for that suit we eventually bought. Please use this balance for your Charity foundation to help those in actual need. I trust you will do so’. We all laughed heartily. Vintage Peter Obi !
The eventual beneficiaries of that Largesse were Madam Theresa Agbo, a yam seller who became penniless and displaced when her Yam shed was gutted by fire, Callistus Egbe who was bedridden due to illness, and needed help with the school fees of his young children, and the Mgbemena family of six who were thrown out of their one room accommodation (which we subsequently doubled to two rooms) because their breadwinner fell upon hard times and could no longer afford the rent.
In Life, You either live by your creed or you desecrate the mould by which the Almighty created you. Any progressive nation measures an individual by his values, not his vaults.
If this way of life is what is derided as ‘stinginess’ on the part of Peter Obi, then we all need to adopt this mould for a more sustainable and more humane environment.

For those asking how Peter Obi plans to fix electricity, here is an old video of him explaining it.
Please watch it before embarrassing yourselves any further. Shameless 😂
At Chatham House in 2022, Bola Tinubu was questioned about the strategy he would deploy to tackle insecurity. Lacking a substantive response, he evaded the question and delegated it to Nasir El-Rufai under the pretense of “teamship.” Today, the security situation has deteriorated beyond what he inherited.
Terrorists now call the shots, while the priority of the APC and Ronu minions remains Peter Obi. If your so-called master strategist had no answer on security then, you lack the moral standing to attack Obi for not revealing his plan to tackle insecurity. As the saying goes: he who comes into equity must come with clean hands.

AFTER 2 WEEKS WITH BANDITS, SHE PREFERRED D£@TH TO RANSOMED FREEDOM
A 23-year-old girl—barely an adult, still full of dreams—was kidnapped by bandits. They demanded 50 million naira. Her family begged, pleaded, and cried for mercy. The bandits refused to reduce a single kobo.
For two weeks, her father fought like a lion. He borrowed, sold, and bled dry to raise every kobo. Finally, he had the 50 million. He called them, desperate to hear his daughter’s voice one more time before paying.
She came on the phone, instead of begging to be saved, she told her father: “Don’t pay. I will kill myself if they release me.”
Because for fourteen days—fourteen unthinkable, merciless days—those monsters had been raping life out of her over and over. Daily. Hourly. Destroying her soul while she was still alive.
When the bandits heard what she said, they put a bullet in her head. Then they sent her family the video and pictures of her final moment on earth.
She was murd£r£d—after being tortured in ways no human being should ever suffer.
This is not about politics anymore. This is about our humanity. This is about mothers who will never hold their daughters again. Fathers who gather ransom only to receive a corpse. Young girls who go to sleep terrified that tonight might be their turn.
May grief never leave the door of those that brought Nigeria to this point and may the pain they ignore today find them a million times over tomorrow.

@agm_1172@originalproflle situation is causing innocent landowners and . The voices of those affected deserve to be heard, and the matter deserves proper investigation and attention.
@agm_1172@originalproflle risk losing their homes. No family should have to live under such fear and uncertainty.
Before making assumptions, kindly get the facts right. Based on the accounts of affected residents, the issue is allegedly linked to the activities of the omo onile and the hardship this...
@agm_1172@originalproflle only to be subjected to intimidation and destruction of property over a sudden demand for payment.
The painful part is that many of these people say they bought their lands legally more than a decade ago and never imagined they would one day be asked to pay millions again or...
@agm_1172@originalproflle simply because they cannot meet this sudden and unreasonable demand.
This is allegedly happening in Oke-Nla, Ifo, Ogun State. Many affected residents claim they have lived on these lands for years, raised their families there, and invested their life savings in their homes, ...
@agm_1172@originalproflle According to affected residents, anyone who cannot afford to pay the ₦3.25 million is among the people whose roofs are being removed. That is exactly what you are seeing in the area. Families who have lived there for years are now being forced to watch their homes damaged ...
@agm_1172@originalproflle from residents to "reclaim" land that many people legitimately purchased and have occupied for decades. Imagine buying land, building on it, and living there peacefully for years, only for someone to come out of nowhere demanding millions of naira.
@agm_1172@originalproflle Please stop saying things you know nothing about. This has nothing to do with the government. The damage and confusion being experienced are allegedly being caused by the omo onile, not any government agency.
These people allegedly appeared and started demanding ₦3.250 million
This MamaPee advert on Peter Obi is super!
Should be played over & over again to our youths, parents, elders, new & old voters.
Nigeria Will Be “OK” if we do the right thing.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
