The coordinated ethnic attacks on the Igbo are not patriotism—they’re a strategy to stop Peter Obi in 2027.
The Igbo are not Nigeria’s problem. Corruption, incompetence, and recycled leadership are.
If the Igbo haven’t led Nigeria since 1966, who exactly ruined the country?
Congratulations!
The playbook of organised tribal politics has taken a new activation phase in preparation for 2027. Sadly and quite unfortunately, thousands of unsuspecting Nigerians will fall for this divisive post coming from a supposed ambassador-designate.
The first woman is Hajia Hafsat Bello. She was the wife of Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto & Premier of the Northern Region.
She took care of many as the wife of the Premier including one Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu who headed the Officers Training College in Kaduna. Nzeogwu was treated like a son by Sardauna.
Hafsat often sent food on special occasions like Sallah to Nzeogwu & his officers. They made them feel at home in Kaduna.
Despite that in the early hours of the morning of January 15th 1966, during the first coup, Nzeogwu went to Sardauna's home & not only killed him but killed Hafsat & Zurumi, the Premier's traditional bodyguard, as well.
Hafsat threw her body on her husband to shield him when she saw them coming whilst Zurumi charged the soldiers with his sword drawn but to no avail. All three of them were killed by Nzeogwu's bullets.
This was after he had shot Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke, one of his own men, who had refused to shoot Sardauna.
The second woman in the picture is Mrs. Lateefat Ademulugen. She was the wife of Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun, Commander of the 1st Division of the Nigerian Army, based in Kaduna.
In the early hours of the morning of January 15th 1966, during the coup, a group of young soldiers stormed their home & burst into their bedroom which they shared with their two children, Solape & Adegoke.
They were led by Major Timothy Onwuatuegwu, an officer of the Military Training College in Kaduna, who was not only under the command of Ademulegun but was also like a son to him & a close family friend.
As they proceeded to shoot Ademulegun, Lateefat, who was 8 months pregnant, pleaded with the young officers to spare her husband & attempted to shield him from them with her body.
Her pleas fell on deaf ears as Onwuatuegwu shot both Ademulegun & his wife right in front of their children.
These two women chose to die with their husbands in a florry of bullets rather than live without them.
Such was their love & loyalty.
They were a pride to womanhood and to Nigeria.
We shall never forget them.
When I first saw the video clip of Governor Monday Okpebholo threatening Mr. Peter Obi not to enter Edo State without his “permission”, I genuinely thought it was fake — perhaps one of those AI-generated videos or a poorly written skit.
But it’s now clear it wasn’t fake. The Governor hasn’t denied it, no spokesperson has disowned it, and it’s been reported on credible news platforms. So, we must assume it was real — and that’s deeply troubling.
Edo people are known for being warm, open, and hospitable. We welcome visitors. We don’t chase them away — much less someone like Mr. Obi who came to make a modest, generous contribution by donating ₦15 million to an educational institution in our state.
Let’s be clear: Mr. Peter Obi does not need anyone’s permission to visit Edo State or any other State for that matter. Not now, not ever.
Perhaps Governor Okpebholo should focus more on governing in a way that earns him the kind of love and connection that Peter Obi enjoys amongst the people — the way Mr. Obi has consistently done through his exemplary leadership.
That this ill-judged threat came on the eve of Mr. Obi’s birthday — a day Obidients across the country are marking the occasion by giving back through acts of service — only highlights the Governor’s poor sense of judgement and timing.
On that note, Happy 64th Birthday to @PeterObi — a man whose leadership inspires millions, and whose presence in Edo will always be welcome, regardless of the threats from those who see your impact as a challenge to their own inadequacies.
As the curtain rises on a brand new month, may it unfold like a blooming flower, each day revealing petals of abundant blessings. May your journey be marked by unprecedented milestones, each step a confident stride towards your loftiest career dreams. Happy New Month!
Nigeria is a multi-religious country (not a bi-religious entity) consisting of Christians, Muslims, and adherents of traditional African religion. Why is the third tier (indigenous religion) not represented or recognised at official national events? @instablog9ja@seunokin
@EKEDP@EKEDP I recharged my prepaid meter, but no token was generated after payment. Kindly check your dm for proof of payment, please, and resolve the issue ASAP.
@nimc_ng@nimc_ng Why can't we make things easy for ourselves as Nigerians? A Nigerian diasporan in Peru has been trying to effect a name change on your portal for the past 3 weeks to no avail. She needs this name change to renew her int'l passport. @nimc_ng
The question is, was a contract signed? If yes, what does it say about events of this nature? A big lesson to be learned from this is: Never sign a contract or commit to a contractual relationship WITHOUT the input and guidance of a LAWYER.
If you haven’t seen the recent session of “The Honest Bunch Podcast,” I recommend watching it with an open mind. The episode addresses the ongoing narrative about “Mark Angel Comedy” and provides insights that might change your perspective. Even though there are allegations involving Igwe Denilson, it’s disheartening to hear him reveal that since 2019, the comedy has earned $160,000 monthly, yet he was given only 10 million naira as a departing settlement. Some might call him ungrateful, but watching the full episode will offer more context. #mixofusng
@fkeyamo@FirstBankngr The money I sent to my mechanic for the past 3 weeks has not been credited into his Access Bank account, neither has the money been reversed into my account. I was debited also. Same applies to 2 other transactions. Pls help!
