This was the reason Uber left Nigeria. GST team is doing an amazing job, they are well-researched. Nigerians have no idea they are paying a 7.5% transportation VAT via hidden charges. Don’t allow the APC to gaslight you.
@lasisielenu I am trying not to breakdown watching this video.
I lost my younger brother at G/hospital Marina, Lagos due to "no bed space" my bro stayed outside emergency door for 20+ hours, when he eventually got bed there was no light to access his record in the computer, he tired & died.
What cannot be hidden in Leadership
Leadership of a nation is such that it's either succeeding or failing, none can be hidden. There are critical areas of leadership that must exist for a nation to move forward, and these are summed up in four Cs: Competence, Capacity, Character and Compassion. Where these four are non-existent, there is no magic you can do.
It's in this line that I have always maintained that we must move away from voting based on tribe and religion, and begin to vote for people with competence, capacity, character, and compassion, because we have all seen, painfully, what leadership without these qualities has done to our country.
Competence because Nigeria today needs a leader who understands the issues, who has the knowledge, experience, and clear ideas to solve them. Capacity because it is not a ceremonial position; it requires strength, stamina, and the mental energy to confront our complex challenges. And above all, leadership must be rooted in character and integrity because without integrity, public trust collapses, corruption thrives, and selfishness takes over. But perhaps most importantly, we need compassion, because when a leader lacks compassion, human lives are treated as statistics, and suffering is ignored.
Sadly, the evidence is right before our eyes. Recently, we witnessed severe flooding in Niger State that claimed nearly 200 lives, with many still missing. Yet, not even a single presidential visit, this, in a nation where the scene of the tragedy is less than an hour away by helicopter.
Just days ago, over 200 Nigerians, innocent men, women, children, and even soldiers were massacred in Benue State. Again, no presidential visit. No physical presence at the scenes of pain. No genuine national mourning. No leadership face to comfort the grieving or give hope to the people.
Yet, we have seen what true leadership looks like elsewhere:
In India, after a plane crash killed nearly 200 people, the Prime Minister was physically at the scene within hours.
In South Africa, when floods claimed 78 lives, the president went personally to the affected communities, stood with them, and took responsibility.
That is leadership with compassion. That is leadership that understands the value of human life. But here in Nigeria, we have normalised leadership without empathy, without accountability, and without a human face.
That is why I insist: Nigeria does not just need another president; Nigeria needs a leader, a leader with competence, capacity, character, and compassion. Until we choose leaders on these principles, the cycle of pain will only continue.
A New Nigeria is POssible.

Africa does not need a nuclear weapon. What you need are electricity & agriculture. Leave the West & the East to their problems. Focus on yours; you have hungry mouths to feed.
In the last two years, I have had the rare and humbling privilege of travelling the world alongside Mr. Peter Obi, From crowded halls to closed-door meetings, I have sat in nearly every room he’s entered. And let me be clear: not once-not once-was any promise made to him, nor did he solicit or receive a single kobo for personal gain.
There were two occasions that especially marked my spirit. One, in Florida, after delivering a powerful keynote address, Mr. @PeterObi was given an honorarium. Without hesitation, he directed the entire sum toward the construction of boreholes he had earlier promised in Kogi State. No fanfare. No detour. Just purpose.
The second story involves a humble woman who wished to make a donation to her alma mater in Awka, Nigeria. She partnered with Mr. @PeterObi, and together, on a 50/50 basis, they contributed to the school. She entrusted the funds to Mr. PetwrObi who, true to his character, personally delivered the donation, ensuring that every naira was used exactly as intended.
If you spend 24 hours around Mr. @PeterObi, you will see how deeply he is preoccupied with helping those in need, the suffering, the downtrodden. He is constantly thinking about how to make a difference, whether through donations to schools of nursing or other initiatives aimed at uplifting Nigerians irrespective of their backgrounds. These are the things that occupy his thoughts and drive his actions. This is what makes his heart beat.
We must remain focused. We must keep pushing for that New Nigeria that is not only possible but necessary. The Nigeria that Mr. @PeterObi personifies is not a utopia of fantasy, but a republic of discipline, prudence, and purpose.
As he often says, and with a chuckle that cloaks his iron resolve, ‘No thief sees money and walks away. No goat eyes a tuber of yam and resists the urge.’ Yet, what Mr. @PeterObi did with Anambra's coffers, leaving behind billions, untouched and accounted for, remains unprecedented in Nigerian history. Verified, Documented, Undisputed. That, my friends, is not just governance; that is moral leadership. That is fiscal patriotism. That is Peter Obi.
Let us stay the course. Let us keep pressing toward that audacious vision of a New Nigeria, because it is possible. And Peter Obi is proof.

Let's not make Glitches Become a National Crisis
I recently watched the heartfelt press conference delivered by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, in which he acknowledged that technical glitches had affected the recently released JAMB results, impacting 379,997 candidates. His open admission of fault and the expression of deep remorse stand out as a rare but commendable display of accountability in our public institutions.
But it raises a very concerning issue on glitches and the grave havoc it's creating in our country, even in critical institutions like JAMB.
While JAMB’s swift response and willingness to own up to its shortcomings are worthy of recognition, the incident has brought to light a far more troubling reality: the persistent fragility of our institutional systems.
The emotional and psychological toll on students, and even parents, some of whom have reportedly suffered severe trauma, and in heartbreaking cases, even death, serves as a reminder of what is at stake. The integrity of examination processes and the reliability of public institutions are not optional; they are foundational to any nation’s progress.
Going forward, JAMB and similar critical bodies must adopt comprehensive quality assurance frameworks. This includes rigorous testing and constant auditing of technical infrastructure. Moreover, transparent communication with candidates and stakeholders, coupled with the prompt resolution of arising issues, is essential to restoring public confidence.
There must be no room for further glitches - not in JAMB, not in any arm of government. The cost of repeated failure is simply too high.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
