Thank You All
From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank everyone for the outpouring of goodwill and birthday wishes I received worldwide. I remain deeply grateful to all who marked the day in one way or another, not to mention Nigerian youths, the Obidient family and the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, renowned for their apostolate to the poor.
As for me, while I deeply appreciate the gestures of celebration, I must once again reiterate that I do not personally celebrate birthdays. I recall vividly when I turned 50, during my time as Governor. Many institutions and individuals approached me with elaborate plans for the occasion.
One institution generously offered to build a house for me in the village. When I asked for the estimated cost, they said it would be ₦120 million. I humbly requested that the funds be redirected to build classrooms in three educational institutions at Agulu, Ekwulobia and Abatete. They obliged—and the impact was far-reaching.
Another group had budgeted ₦20 million for a lavish party. I graciously asked them to consider using the funds to purchase desktop computers for schools. Their eventual donation of 200 desktops was distributed to schools across the state, enhancing learning for many students.
In a similar spirit of redirection, another organisation—whose intention had originally been to celebrate me—ended up donating buses, which we distributed to institutions in need, including one that went to the legendary Old Rangers Association.
This has been my consistent approach over the years. On each birthday, I use the opportunity to redirect goodwill towards causes that uplift others.
As I turned 64 years old yesterday, I must confess that the current state of our nation makes the idea of personal merriment even more difficult to contemplate. The scale of suffering and deprivation among our people weighs heavily on the conscience. This is why I have once again requested that all those who wish to celebrate me should instead channel their resources towards helping the poor or supporting our struggling health and educational institutions.
On my part, I have chosen this day to renew my personal commitment to continue supporting the institutions of state in the best way I can, especially those that directly serve the people.
Providentially, I was in Rome, at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, and my birthday coincided with this visit. I used this sacred opportunity, as I always do when I am in Nigeria, to remember you all in prayer. I especially prayed for our beloved country, Nigeria—that God may touch the hearts of our leaders, and awaken in them the realisation that public funds are meant for the public good.
May we all find strength and grace to keep striving for a more just, compassionate, and equitable society.
Thank you, once again. -PO
I thought this was just a rumor!
So he actually said this???
Ha! It is finished.
If the one who drives Rolls Royce before now drives Honda, please what has happened to the one driving Honda before?
And to think of the ones who didn’t have Honda or Marwa not to mention Okada before…
It is the audacity for me.
The ones who have chosen to SUFFER will still come and defend this arrant nonsense!
Today is kuku Boxing Day.😁

Even all their supporters now know that the refinery was a scam and it was just a blender scheme. We spotted the lie and revealed it. I did it for God and country.
Just yesterday, I congratulated a young Nigerian, Ugo Ugochukwu, who made a historic achievement at the 2024 FIA World Cup. Today, I am pleased again to celebrate two other Nigerians whose reports of their achievements are inspiring.
I recently read the heartwarming reports of Sister Francisca Ngozi Uti, who was awarded the 2024 Opus Prize - a $1.2 million honor in recognition of her extraordinary humanitarian efforts worldwide. The Opus Prize is awarded annually to celebrate and encourage the humanitarian efforts of the recipient and to inspire others to pursue lives of service for societal development and better humanity.
As the founder and executive director of the Centre for Women Studies and Intervention (CWSI) in Abuja, Nigeria, Sister Ngozi champions the cause for women's empowerment by giving them access to education and exposing women to viable economic opportunities that will help them become economically independent. Through her works, she has continued to inspire countless numbers of girls and women to be socially responsible and contribute productively to the nation.
The next inspiring story is that of Matthew Ayorinde, a professor of Physical Chemistry at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), who, according to reports, was awarded the NAS Gold Medal by the Nigerian Academy of Science (NAS). The award recognizes Prof Ayorinde's contribution to science through his diverse academic research in materials science and applied chemistry.
Through their various painstaking efforts, both Sister Ngozi and Prof Ayorinde have distinguished themselves and today stand as beacons of hard work, dedication to duty, and excellence. I congratulate them, once again, for their various awards, while encouraging them to leverage their new recognition to contribute more to society.
A New Nigeria is surely POssible. -PO
On Tuesday, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor ofLagos State, suspended Wale Ajetunmobi, his Senior Special Assistant on Print Media.
The suspension, which was made public on Tuesday, followed a controversial post Ajetunmobi had made on his official X account on Saturday.
In the now-deleted post, Ajetunmobi had claimed that the majority of individuals allegedly involved in the burning of Television Continental (TVC) during the 2020 #EndSARS protest had been “hunted down and executed”.
Back on October 21, 2020, a day after the infamous killing of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate, irate Nigerians widely described as “hoodlums” had set a part of TVC on fire. However, at no point was an exchange of gunfire reported, as sensationally claimed by Ajetunmobi.
“The full story of people who burnt down TVC in 2020 will be told one day, with gory clips and images. One thing to note: majority of them have been hunted down and executed,” Adetunmobi had posted.
“Malaysia introduced CNG in the 1990s; now they are stopping it in 2024, while Bola and his supporters are asking Nigerians to change to CNG. APC is taking you 34 years backwards, but some of you’re defending it.”

Ladies & Gentlemen, after watching, rewatching & having carefully listened to Peter Obi speak for 2hrs, 50Mins & 24Secs on the Honest Bunch Podcast, I am very angry and disappointed at H.E Peter Obi. In fact, no body should beg me o,

Again, yesterday the now regular news came that the National Grid had collapsed once again.
Just a few days ago, on the 25th of October, South Africa that was the second-largest economy in Africa behind Nigeria until recently, with a quarter of our population, celebrated seven months of uninterrupted power supply. South Africa generates and distributes about 40,000 MW of electricity, while Nigeria struggles to generate and distribute just 10% of that. Yet, despite this stark disparity, Nigerians continue to endure daily power outages.
And when I ask the question: is there any tribe in Nigeria that enjoys uninterrupted power supply like South Africa? I am labelled a tribal bigot. When I ask if any religion enjoys special privileges in this crisis, I am called a religious bigot. But I will continue to speak the truth about our situation today.
The fact remains that we are all suffering equally from this failure. The solution lies not in tribal or religious affiliations but in visionary leadership and a shared commitment to progress.
We must set aside these primordial sentiments and elect leaders who are competent, capable, and have the vision to transform our nation from a consumer-driven economy to a productive one by investing our meager resources in critical areas of development like health and education, lifting our people out of poverty, and ensuring increased electricity production and distribution.
A new Nigeria is POssible!

Be interesting to see whether PO has learned from 2022 and realised that when Nigerians start doing that thing where they deliberately mishear, miscomprehend, and misinterprete something you said, you should NEVER apologise or explain yourself.
Nigerians are not people who want to be treated with respect. If you respect them and explain yourself too much, they turn you into Goodluck Jonathan. If you tell them to fuck off and die (and actually kill some of them), you'll win 2 terms as president.
The best thing PO can do is completely ignore the entire contrived "controversy," show up somewhere next week with THE WIDEST shit-eating grin on his face, and donate N10m to a school. Then he should double down and repeat his comments at the event, so that whoever wants to die should hurry up and drink Sniper.
People that are ruled by a blue collar criminal that is using their whole country as a US foreign policy outpost, and they cannot even talk about it. Who told them their opinion matters in this world? They should carry that opinion to Aso Rock and do their nonsense rubbernecking there first.
Human garbage.
Those attacking Peter Obi for saying, “He will turn night vigils to night shifts to make people productive, ask your brothers and sisters abroad, especially those in UK, how many times they go to night vigil in the UK!!!!!
Hours people use in making money and does that make them less religious or spiritual, hell No!!!!!
You going to the night vigil back to back, do you think you’re better than them???
Keep deceiving yourself.
I like that we dissect every single word from Peter Obi’s mouth.
And I agree with him that it is odd that when you travel to whole towns you’ll be seeing more religious and funerals signposts than that of businesses.
He’s not blaming it on the churches but is saying we need to give our people more productive things to do than every other day church program.
Are you people really telling me that if you had the option to earn say 50K per shift, you’d rather spend that time in a church? When you have bills to pay?
The real reason you can afford to be in every program is because the opportunity cost isn’t high. There’s not much you’re giving up. In more productive societies people are more mindful of how they spend their time because it has monetary value.
