The secrets to effective & consistent profitability:
1) Adhere to a simple model.
2) Know what you want to make and it feeds you, leave something on just in case you were wrong about how much more.
3) Don't ask others for opinions, analysis or tips.
4) Manage Risk impeccably - ALWAYS.
5) Don't chase new things after you found your model.
6) Allow others to hold opinions - even if they are diametrically opposed to yours.
7) Unless you run a signal service, keep your opinions to yourself.
8) Make your bread, eat and go live for the day and find ways to bless others with it.
Anything else is BS.
@wannabechamp Psychology get refined with good strategy. I struggled with getting a good strategy for so long, when I finally had one I realised that my Psychology keeps getting better by the day.
My People,
What Nigeria needs is someone that will actually care. What politics destroyed, let love restore. Love & empathy left the country’s leadership. It is time they got back in the fight.
We have to reimagine Nigeria from scratch. We must guarantee its right to change. But for Nigeria to change, we must change minds.
There was a time when honor & morals meant something. Those years are long gone, but we can dream again. We have to restore the throne of good men. People whose hearts are in the right place. It seems unfair that Nigerians are going through both psychological & financial trauma at the same time. It’s been a while since my people were happy, like genuinely happy.
It feels odd because Nigerians are almost a Lost Generation. We are this close. We were some of “The Happiest People on the planet.” Those years are long gone, but we can smile again.
“Children must be supervised” is not for Nigeria
Nigerians are some of those who were abandoned by their country. Many have abandonment issues. The children of Nigeria have no sheltered life. Many are left to their own devices. Nigeria has changed, & generally for the worse. Nothing is ever what it seems!
And despite all of these, a man still cares.
There is much to tell. We need three miracles. One for victory, & one for freedom. The last? I will keep close to my chest. A fight for freedom starts in the shadows. We will see this through.
God is with us. One with God is majority.
In our experience, the line between bravery & cowardice is so thin that you can’t see through it. The line between courage & cowardice is almost invisible. When fear & survival rules? paranoia is the result. In our case? We choose to be fearless. We are those that finally stood up to the bullies. They see courage & confuse it with the Mob. We should leave Nigeria the way it is? Are we supposed to massage your egos?
I know how much he has sacrificed for us. And he is not giving up. When things go awry, our minds quickly search for something to blame.
Sometimes, we look for someone to take the blame. Sometimes there is no one to take to fall. In his case? He is rage under control. He is above anything aggressive. They all want a pound of his flesh. He is bold, I give him that.
He defeated greed right in the belly, & they hate him for that. In a place ruled by crooks? The innocent is the one receiving the most abuse.
He sees all our efforts. He is grateful for all that we do. You know what? From here on out, let’s commit to togetherness. We are a family. Let’s stay under one roof by the fireplace, telling bedtime stories. Sometimes the miracle never comes. We don’t defy the odds. But it’s up to us to find a way. In a way, we feel like we know one another. I know it sounds crazy, but there is nowhere else I’d rather be but here, with you.
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW…………….
He is the unifier. He brought us together for a cause. He became a conversation starter. He is surrounded by haters & admirers alike. They wish to have his type of grace; just a tiny slice.
They actually wish they can be like him, & walk in his shoes. If only they could have a taste of his type of stardom, perhaps they would calm down. Much of the vitriol is born out of envy.
“Must he always be the crowd’s favorite?”
But there can only be one Peter. It’s DEEDS, not words! Good name is better than gold. I am completely thralled by the kind of man he is.
He makes himself very easy to sell. Then he has his own sound—there is a ring to it. He was something quite unexpected. He entered the scene & everything changed. Suddenly, people began to ask questions. I suppose I can have the night to myself. I will soirée & take it all in.
Peter Gregory Obi is the best shot at our survival, & he doesn’t even waver. Not for a second! He believes he can really save us. He actually does all he can. Although dirt is thrown at him, & blackmail falls on him. Still he rises beautifully & defiant to dazzle our dreams. 😭
When I get to the polling unit on the day of Presidential election, I will quietly vote for Peter Obi and sit back to protect my vote.
The other candidates under NDC?
“No one is doing anybody a Favour”
Cowbell will be your milk if you are banking on Peter Obi wave.
The wave go carry your papa.
PRESS STATEMENT
OBIDIENT MOVEMENT SUSPENDS TOP TO BOTTOM CAMPAIGN AND DECLARES OPERATION NO WORK, NO VOTE
The Obidient Movement has taken note of the repeated disregard, disrespect, and political injustice shown to its members by political parties and politicians who want to benefit from its strength, credibility, structure, reach, and public goodwill.
We have also taken note of the recent statement credited to Senator Seriake Dickson, where he reportedly told Obidients not to disparage him or his party, and claimed that NDC is doing Peter Obi and Obidients a favour by granting them its platform.
We have heard him clearly.
We also noticed the troubling tone of ownership in that interview. The possessive and self-important language made NDC sound less like a democratic party set up to rescue Nigerians and more like the personal property of one man. If NDC was truly set up to save Nigerians, then it must be a party for Nigerians, not a private estate where citizens are expected to kneel and thank one man for political access. Political parties are supposed to belong to the people, their members, and the public interest, not to one man or a small circle of political landlords.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Obidient Movement is not owned by any political party. We are not political slaves. We are not campaign tools. We are not a crowd to be summoned during election season and ignored when decisions are being made.
If NDC believes it is doing Obidients a favour, then we will no longer force our favour on NDC.
Since we have been rudely reminded that we do not own the party, and since we are being told that nobody is doing NDC any favour, it is time for us to withdraw automatic political charity and move into non-partisan, people-centred politics.
We must also speak for the aspirants and ordinary members who reportedly went through primaries in good faith, spent money, mobilised supporters, earned their place, and were later allegedly cheated, replaced, or pushed aside. If a party cannot protect fairness inside its own house, it has no moral right to preach justice to Nigerians. People who worked for their mandate must not be sacrificed for backroom deals and political convenience.
In view of recent events, and the continued failure of party leaderships to treat the movement with the respect it deserves, we hereby suspend the Top to Bottom campaign approach.
Going forward, every candidate must stand on their own record, competence, character, capacity, and public credibility.
Whether a candidate is in NDC, ADC, PDP, Labour Party, or any other political platform, they must campaign on issues. They must face the people. They must explain what they have done, what they can do, and why Nigerians should trust them with power.
Peter Obi has shown the standard. He campaigns on issues. He speaks to governance, economy, education, security, production, accountability, and the welfare of ordinary Nigerians. Any candidate who wants the support of the people must do the same.
No candidate will be allowed to ride on Obi’s wave while disrespecting the same movement that built and sustained that wave.
No more automatic support.
No more blind loyalty.
No more party-first politics.
No more “vote them because they are under our platform.”
From today, we are moving from Top to Bottom to Operation No Work, No Vote.
No work, no vote.
Nigerian politicians have shown repeatedly that many of them are on the same side when it comes to protecting their interests against the masses. They change parties, form alliances, recycle themselves, insult the people, and still expect the people to keep clapping. That era must end.
Our loyalty is to good governance, competence, integrity, justice, accountability, and the Nigerian people.
At the presidential level, our position remains clear. Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are the only ticket we recognise for the national rescue mission.
Every other candidate, at every other level, must prove themselves.
They must show capacity.
They must show integrity.
They must show their work.
They must convince the people.
The Obidient Movement will no longer be used as political fuel by people who cannot respect the source of that energy.
Any candidate who wants Obidient votes must earn them.
They are not doing us a favour.
The people are the favour.
And anyone who wants the people’s support must respect the people first.

To the @NigeriaNDCHQ
I have been silent on your internal affairs I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt.
But you’ve taken much for granted. Far too much! My silence ends now! Theo Abu & Brian Dennis are misfits. There are far more decent Nigerians out there who can run your media.
Appointing the duo already puts you at the short end of the stick. You leave yourselves exposed to attacks from every quarter.
I am no politician; what I am is Obidient—an ardent supporter, no less. I see your disdain for My People. Your war against us is far from subtle. Your handwriting is clear enough for all to read. I see you aren’t out to win minds & hearts; you are out for vendetta. Perhaps to settle scores you made up in your heads.
Who appoints political jobbers to run their Media? Boys without a modicum of reputation. Whose minds can those boys change? Almost everyone has them on a blocked list. They are pariahs as far Political Twitter is concerned.
Both cannot win their polling units. They are errand boys to Abuja politicians; they have zero electoral values. To add salt to injury, both are anti-Peter Obi. The NDC is unthinking & unyielding, brash even! I can’t believe what my eyes have seen. I have been holding back. I had hoped to see a sharp departure from others.
But I was wrong, SO WRONG! So I take back all the reviews. You’ve shown me who you are, & I believe you! Who appoints notorious charlatans @TheoAbuAgada & @XBrianDennis to head their Media Communications Department?
It’s obvious the NDC as a party is out to shut the Obidients out. It’s obvious they are out of touch with the realities out there on the streets.
Perhaps, you’ve overestimated yourselves?
Both boys are on my blocked list. I have them nestled in there since 2023. Worse still, your party is enmeshed in allegations of corruption across almost all 36 states & the FCT.
What kind of party are you running? Are you that hungry? Are you that cheap? Your mess is rubbing off on upstanding citizens like us.
Each time you mess up, Peter Obi is the one that bears much of the brunt. He is now in the line of fire. Your house is on fire. How many fires are you going to put out? I am drama free, but I don’t like what I hate. I am opinionated, I have strong opinions. If others have chosen to be silent, I WON’T! I hate injustice of any kind!
I have never asked anyone for anything, NEVER!
As far as Twitter goes, I have no rap sheet. I have my own money. YES! I am no political jobber. I have never been paid to tweet, NEVER!
I am not on anyone’s payroll. Peter Obi remains the only presidential candidate I have ever campaigned for, at least since 2017. I DO IT FREE OF CHARGE! And yet, I’ve never met him.
We have no relationship, no connection whatsoever. He doesn’t have any of my contacts, except perhaps Twitter (otherwise X).
For a party that is supposed to be different from others, the NDC is already being accused of selling its tickets to the highest bidders.
How do you reconcile that with your body language & what you preach? You are in the eye of the storm. Sadly, you don’t know that!
I did not build my reputation for you to come & tarnish it. I have a reputation to protect. I will call a spade what it is. The NDC must come clean & clear their name. Who got what? Who paid who? I won’t be part of what I criticize.
You know me to be unhinged. I was mad long before I was born. I may be wrong, but I don’t think you are out to win the 2027 election.
You are playing the long game—to arrive at a predetermined outcome. I won’t tell Seriake Dickson what to do. But I will do what I’m supposed to do! What I’m compelled to do!
Morals & values must return in Nigeria. We must restore the throne of good men.
You have time to course correct; if you so wish. At the end of the day, I will leave you with no doubt whatsoever. My name is Nefertiti, I remain your First Lady. I will say no more! ✌️
People are claiming that Theo and his team were appointed to head the NDC media team simply because they’ve “been in the party for long.” But isn’t this the same Theo who was recently with the ADC, actively supporting Atiku and spitting on PO?
Exactly when did he join the NDC to suddenly qualify as Media Campaign Chief over other members and loyalists?
The mere fact that this appointment was made, and done so publicly, already tells us everything we need to know about the 2027 election.
It’s either that these people have no respect for Obi, or that Obi doesn’t demand any respect from them. Either way, this feels like a direct spit in his face.
PRESS STATEMENT
OBIDIENT MOVEMENT REJECTS THE APPOINTMENT OF THEO ABU AGADA AND DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FROM NDC LEADERSHIP AND TANKO YUNUSA
The attention of the Obidient Movement has been drawn to the appointment of Theo Abu Agada as Director of New Media and Strategic Communications by the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
We condemn this appointment in the strongest possible terms.
This appointment is not just insensitive. It is a direct insult to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the Obidient Movement, and the millions of Nigerians who have stood firmly behind a movement built on competence, character, justice, accountability, and people-centred politics.
A party that claims to value the Obidient Movement cannot turn around and appoint a man whose public record is filled with repeated attacks, insults, and open hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients. You cannot disrespect the largest support base within your political structure and still pretend you are building unity.
Theo Abu Agada has publicly described supporters of their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in insulting terms. He has questioned Peter Obi’s capacity, portrayed him as a threat to free speech, accused his supporters with reckless language, and repeatedly made statements that show clear contempt for the same movement NDC now expects to energise its public communication.
Even worse, he once claimed that Peter Obi had “unleashed his IPOB supporters on Nigerians.” That kind of statement goes beyond political disagreement. It is a dangerous attempt to link their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients to IPOB, and by extension paint the movement with the brush of extremism and terrorism. No serious political party that respects Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement should reward such a person with a sensitive communications position.
Can NDC appoint someone who has publicly insulted and disparaged Rabiu Kwankwaso or the Kwankwasiyya Movement into a sensitive communications position and expect Kwankwasiyya supporters to clap for it? Can NDC reward someone who has repeatedly attacked Kwankwaso and still claim it respects his movement?
If the answer is no, then why does NDC think it can do this to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement?
The NDC leadership must explain how such a person passed through any serious political vetting process for a sensitive communications role. New Media and Strategic Communications is not a decoration. It is the public voice of a party. Appointing someone with a history of hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement into that office sends a very clear message, and the message is disrespect.
This also raises serious questions about the role and effectiveness of Tanko Yunusa as the leader of the Obidient Movement.
What exactly is Tanko doing?
In the Labour Party, he was always seen around the leadership, taking pictures and standing close to Peter Obi, yet the same Labour Party repeatedly disrespected Peter Obi and the movement he was supposed to represent.
In ADC, the same pattern repeated itself. The Obidient Movement was treated with disregard, and its value was undermined.
Now in NDC, the same thing is happening again. The party leadership continues to disregard the Obidient Movement, even though Obidients remain the largest, loudest, and most active stakeholder group in this political alignment. That disregard has now reached their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, directly through the appointment of someone whose public record shows open hostility towards him.
So we ask again: what exactly is Tanko doing?
Is he there to defend the movement, or to take pictures?
Is he there to protect Peter Obi’s political leverage, or to stand in rooms like a mannequin?
Is he there to represent Obidients, or to lock comment sections whenever people ask uncomfortable questions?
Tanko Yunusa must answer a simple question: what the hell is he doing?
The Obidient Movement cannot continue to be treated as a crowd for rallies, online engagement, and political optics, while those who openly insult the movement are put in strategic positions where they will continue the insults.
We demand the following:
1. The immediate reversal of Theo Abu Agada’s appointment.
2. A public explanation from the NDC leadership on how this appointment was approved.
3. A formal apology to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement.
4. A clear commitment from NDC that no individual with a public record of hostility towards Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement will be placed in any sensitive strategic communication role.
5. A full explanation from Tanko Yunusa on what he is doing as leader of the Obidient Movement and why this pattern of disrespect keeps repeating itself under his watch.
The Obidient Movement is not a spare tyre. We are not political furniture. We are not a movement to be used when convenient and disrespected when power is being shared.
If NDC wants the energy, credibility, reach, and sacrifice of Obidients, then it must treat the movement with respect.
Anything short of that is unacceptable.
