@ClevaMaverick @PeterObi You don't understand what it takes to make a law across the federation. Separation of powers, organs of government and tiers of government are basic topics in government at SSCE level. When Obi says I will make a law I just shake my head coz he knows his audience.
@UpdateVille Werey ni blogger yi o. Kendoo never contested for governorship position but Federal HoR constituency 1 in Ooshodi, he is the current chairman of Oshodi/Isolo local government and he is doing well.
AND THIS EQUALS NEGLIGENCE?
You were that close, yet somehow unaware of how gravely ill she was?
Even beneath this very post, voices of reason - learned and informed - have calmly exposed the cracks in your claim:
A. How no conscientious doctor would discharge a patient barely four days after such major surgery;
B. How another, who knew the deceased personally, has laid bare the false colours with which you have painted this entire tale.
Why lie?
What satisfaction do you draw from demarketing your own country - especially the same sector you now serve within the UK?
Have you paused, even briefly, to consider that it is not Nigeria you are smearing with these exaggerations, but your own colleagues - professionals you now portray as incompetent, ill-trained, inhumane, and careless with human life? Recklessly prone to error and neglect? Doctors who are better being undertaker...
For your information, some of us carry personal scars and quiet grief: loved ones who left Nigeria hale and hearty, only to perish days pr weekslater on a doctor’s table in your so-called “saner” clime. Yet we did not erupt in rage, nor did we mount stages to demonize your 'perfect' systems.
We do not excuse systemic failures. But neither do we compound them with falsehoods and embroidered fables that further erode our collective credibility. We will not pour palm oil on the floor of our own house and then complain that it is slippery.
You can do better.
Meanwhile -several weeks on - HOW FAR with the LAPTOPS? Let it not be said that we condemn inefficiency with thunderous words, only to perform worse when faced with a far lesser task.
Since the laptop donations, you have reported suffering an auto accident, a coma, a miscarriage, menopause every other ordeal but report the progress of the assignment... HOW FAR??
The one who cannot sweep his own courtyard should not mock the untidy village square.
I watched this video three different times. Not once, not twice, but three times. And in that same video, this thing intentionally referred to Yoruba people as “ONYE OFE NMANU” five different times. That is not slang. That is not banter. That is a slur. A deliberate insult meant to demean Yoruba people as “people of oily soup.”
So I went on X, expecting at least one voice from her own side to call her out. Just one. But no. Absolute silence. The same people who rush into comment sections screaming “bigotry” whenever Yorubas respond brutally suddenly lost their keyboards. That silence tells you everything you need to know.
You can see the bitterness clearly. The resentment is loud. And the hatred is not even disguised.
Now let us address the fake victim narrative. I do not have a problem with any artist facing genuine segregation. But let us ask a simple, honest question. Did Yoruba people go to radio stations, TV houses, and clubs in ANAMBRA, ABIA, IMO, EBONYI, and ENUGU to stop playing Ibo artists' music?. This SHIT is in Lagos (Yoruba land) listening to radio stations in Lagos (Yoruba land) not playing Ibo artists songs in Lagos (Yoruba land). what an audacity and self-entitlement.
She mentioned six Ibo, I only know Flavour and Phyno. The rest are nobody and there is nothing wrong with that. Music grows locally before it goes national. That is how it works everywhere.
You cannot grow onions in the South. They grow in the North. But once they grow there, they serve the whole country. That does not make it oppression. That is geography and market reality.
Asake sings mainly in Yoruba. Imagine him crying of segregation because his songs are not dominant in Ibo land. How many people there even understand Yoruba in the first place.
Let us stop pretending. This is not about music. This is about long bottled resentment, selective outrage, and a deep refusal to accept that culture, language, and audience matter.
Again, Yoruba will not let this slide.
PETER OBI’S TOILET-CLEANING TALE - A CALL TO DEEPER CONCERN
Yes, I understand that Peter often provides comic relief - a kind of political stand-up routine in the middle of otherwise serious national conversations.
But because he has carefully built a brand on lightness, theatrics, and intellectual shortcuts, many of us now risk overlooking the red flags his words unconsciously expose. And that is where the real danger lies.
I HAVE NOTICED A DISTURBING PATTERN
Sometime in 2022, at the height of the campaign, Peter was asked a simple but critical question: How do you intend to tackle insecurity in Nigeria?
Instead of outlining policy or strategy, he swerved off course and began narrating how mad men in Uppiweka possessed better security insight than his advisers, the police structure of his state, and how he preferred to consult them while serving as governor of Anambra.
Fast-forward to 2025.
On an X Space session, asked again about insecurity, he once more derailed - this time into a tale of how he allegedly became an emergency janitor aboard a British Airways flight.
According to him, as a sitting governor, he rolled up his sleeves, demanded gloves and detergent, and personally scrubbed aircraft toilets so other passengers could relieve themselves in comfort.
One must ask plainly:
What does cleaning an aircraft toilet have to do with tackling insecurity?
THIS IS THE DISTURBING PATTERN.
If you catch a child sneaking out of the kitchen at midnight and ask, “What were you doing there?” the guilty child, knowing he had illegally engaged the proteins in the soup pot rarely answers directly.
He stammers.
He invents stories.
He blames rats or mosquitoes that mysteriously carried him from bed to pot.
Why?
Because guilt breeds incoherence.
When someone has something to hide, clarity evaporates. Excuses replace answers. Absurdity replaces logic.
And so it is here.
Why is Peter always most incoherent when insecurity is mentioned?
We have grown so accustomed to his intellectual looseness that we barely notice when his discomfort peaks. Yet each time insecurity arises, his speech collapses further - wandering into anecdotes, comedy, and distraction.
Considering his abysmal record with insecurity in Anambra, his peculiar excitement whenever chaos erupts nationwide, and now his consistent evasiveness on the subject, one is forced to wonder:
Is this mere incompetence… or something more troubling?
A DIRECT CHALLENGE TO BRITISH AIRWAYS - @British_Airways
Even a casual traveler knows this:
• Airbus A320/A321 aircraft have at least 2 toilets, often 4, distributed front and rear.
• The A321neo frequently carries up to 5 lavatories.
• Long-haul aircraft like the Boeing 777 have as many as 9 toilets onboard.
So which British Airways aircraft had all its toilets unusable - to the point that a sitting governor had to become a janitor mid-flight?
Are we to believe that: • Every toilet failed?
• No crew member intervened?
• Passengers were exposed to health risks?
• A customer was reduced to scrubbing toilets for public use?
If this is true, British Airways owes Nigerians an explanation.
If it isn’t - and common-sense suggests it isn’t - then the story collapses under its own weight of absurdity.
CONCLUSION
Either:
British Airways routinely subjects passengers to unsanitary conditions and recruits politicians as cleaners,
or
Peter Obi fabricated an anecdote so poorly thought out that it exposes something deeper - confusion, deflection, or worse.
When a man cannot answer questions about security without retreating into bathroom tales or madness fables, one must ask:
Is this incompetence…
or complicity cloaked as incompetence?
Good morning, severally.
Over to you @British_Airways
@KafinHausaa@aamalamiSAN There was a time in Nigeria that I thought this guy was the President. He completely hijacked the Presidency with other cabals. How time flies? He is now speaking in a gaslighting language his ignorant followers understand.
Nigeria is a very funny country. We are celebrating that the head of a regulatory body was sacked, even though they said he resigned, but we basically know the President asked him to leave office; because of one man, Aliko Dangote.
Aliko Dangote gave allegations that, to me, were not really substantial. Farouk Ahmed came out and cleared the air on the allegations and even said he gives EFCC and any other security agency the go-ahead to investigate the school fees being mentioned were being taken care of by his father as his trustee.
If you do your investigation, some of the schools Dangote mentioned don't even exist.
I see that a lot of Nigerians are excited that the Farouk Ahmed resigned.
Now, I am not saying Abba Kyari, a former NNPC GMD was innocent but he was forced to resign because of one man, and today, Mr Farouk has been forced to resign because of one man.
This is not how to grow an economy. Without even substantiating whether the allegations against Farouk Ahmed were correct, if you are asking him to resign based on any other thing it is fine, but because he ruffled the feathers of Aliko Dangote, he is now being asked to resign.
I wonder what the next head of the regulatory board will do. That means he will not be able to go against Dangote, because if he does, Dangote will also come against him, come against his grandmother and every other of his family.
This is one of the nonsense we keep talking about.
This is not how a country is built.
I expected that the Government would investigated those allegations, then come out to the public and tell us that after investigating these allegations, we found out that these allegations are true, and that on the basis of corruption he has been sacked. No investigation whatsoever, no communication from the Government to tell us this is why this or that. The next thing, they are telling us the man has resigned.
It does not augur well. I pity the next regulatory head. If Dangote does not like you, you are gone, and then you tell me this is a serious nation.

@PastorMarvy D very 1st time I best som1 in a wedding was my best friend in a church. I am a Muslim, he is Xtian. As a matter of fact, I chose the wedding date when I joined his family meeting when I travelled with him for Xmas. I stood side-by-side with him church and signed everything.
THE WORTH OF A BILLIONAIRE'S VOTE
Vote-buying of 20k, 10k, 5k in the North - and they were branded illiterate, backward retrogrades by 'you know who.'
Vote-buying with bags of rice and gallons of oil in the West - and they were mocked as hungry urchins, collecting the pitiable wages of their own bigotry by 'you know who.'
Yet the sacred assumption was that these other ones had ascended to such lofty heights of reasoning that they lived far above the hunger line - immune to the miseries that bend lesser mortals. Surely, these paragons could never sell their votes. And even if a few strayed into the valley of temptation, their price would be cosmic - a token worthy of such barbarity: not 20k, not bags of rice… perhaps 1 Bitcoin each; a Maybach per head; at the very least, one container drifting on the high sea.
But alas -
Gala ati Malt - Subḥānallāh.
Gala - N200
Malt - N700
SUM-TOTAL - N900
N900 is the true market value of a “billionaire’s” conscience?
Less than $1 was all it took for the so-called “developers of the universe” to auction their voice, rights, and future?
Afalā taʿqilūn…
Healers, heal thyself.
Others may indeed have specks in their eyes, but you do not have the right to call them out while dragging a forest-sized log in yours.
Shio…
Good morning, Severally…
TRUMP ONLY CARES FOR TRUMP
A man who does everything to shut his doors against immigrants;
A man who is determined to erect a wall so tall even his own shadow can’t climb over to greet a neighbour;
A man who has consistently worn his disdain for blacks, particularly Africans like a badge on his lapel;
A man who embodies the vilest fumes of racism and the rusted iron of white supremacy;
- cannot suddenly rise from slumber and pretend to care for the very lives he has openly spat upon. He gives no damn whether you breathe or vanish like smoke. Trump cares only about Trump - and about securing the total and absolute domination of the world for the United States.
If you don’t know this, then you do not know the ABC of geopolitics, and your knowledge of your own name could be questioned.
And if you think the West will dominate you for your own benefit 😆, then I hereby bequeath to you my imaginary half of planet Mars - use it well.
Why have I written this? Because even the greatest bullies draw their strength from the silent nods and folded arms of a complicit majority.
Bullies cannot tolerate confrontation, cannot stomach dismissal, cannot survive rejection from an informed and courageous would-be victim.
When he tried that same jab at South Africa, the entire nation dropped politics and religion at the door, joined forces, and faced the bully with one voice - sending the overreaching strongman back to the solitary cocoon where power-drunk tyrants belong.
Unfortunately, down here, we are saddled with an opposition that cannot win by the depth of their vision, the strength of their ideas, or the clarity of their purpose. So they would rather see the Nation burn if it means their superior betters get bruised - even if the flames consume the innocent, uninvolved majority.
Whatever the case, as Nigeria always does, we will win this again. Asiwaju is not famed for defeat or failure; this is simply another test of his - and our - collective resolve, one from which we shall emerge as overcomers.
On a final, but most instructive note - Nigeria is indeed challenged along our security lines. Lives and properties have been lost to reckless, needless violence.
Men have been killed, women have been killed, children have been killed; Yorubas have been killed, Igbos have been killed, Hausas have been killed; Muslims, Christians, traditionalists - even atheists have been killed.
The government must do more.
The government must be proactive.
The government must rise to its primary duty of securing lives and property.
Until every Nigerian life is safe, the people have the right to call out their government.
But this is our problem, our challenge, our crisis - and we will seek external help only when and where we deem fit. We will not be lorded over by another nation, no matter how powerful or affluent, and certainly not by a bully. The era of shaving our heads in our absence is long gone.
Nigeria is a sovereign Nation, Independent Republic under God… are we not?
In summary:
So once your local leaders “fail” you, the next solution is for a foreign power to march in and invade your nation?
I expected you to provide even one relevant example where the invasion of a sovereign country by a superpower - under any guise - has ever left that nation better than they met it. Or where the violent intervention of the West in African affairs has birthed any lasting, meaningful solution.
IRAQ 2003?
The U.S. met Iraq under a brutal dictatorship - but a stable and promising state.
Their intervention:
destabilized the entire country,
ignited sectarian infernos,
birthed the monstrous shadow of ISIS,
killed hundreds of thousands,
displaced over 4 million people.
In summary: America’s fruitless adventure plunged Iraq into years of chaos, insurgency, and fragmentation.
LIBYA 2011?
Libya was under an authoritarian regime, yes - but it was a unified state, enjoying a prosperous economic reign.
U.S.–backed intervention:
hurled Libya into a savage civil war,
turned it into a playground for warlords and militias,
resurrected slave markets in the 21st century,
gave Al-Qaeda and ISIS fresh territory,
collapsed once-solid institutions into dust.
In summary: America’s barren intervention reduced a prosperous, buoyant Libya into a divided, lawless conflict zone - a wound Africa still nurses.
SYRIA 2011?
Syria lived under an authoritarian regime, but - like Libya - its citizens enjoyed stability and a promising economic trajectory.
The U.S. involvement:
plunged Syria into protracted civil war,
opened power vacuums ISIS eagerly exploited,
militarized the conflict beyond repair.
In summary: America’s selfish and brutal meddling dragged a stable Syria into one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the century.
These are only a handful of the United States’ chaotic interventions - nations that enjoyed relative stability and promise before America arrived, only to be left in worse, tragic conditions many may never recover from: Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Chile, Somalia, and more.
Now, Nigeria stands again on the path of sustained stability and renewed promise.
Our growth numbers are climbing.
The economy has witnessed real recovery in the past 12 months.
The naira no longer flip-flops like a kite in turbulent wind.
Our revenues are rising - without America’s shadow hovering over the gains.
And suddenly, Trump “remembers” Christians are being killed in West Africa?
Suddenly, the serpent bears fangs?
Do not let your hatred for the President - or your envy of his lifelong triumphs - blind you to the wicked agenda of the West. They have never left any nation better than they met it.
And do not allow your undying romance with a mediocre and failed Peter Obi push you into seeking the presidency for him by other means other than the ballot.
A man who trembles at the thought of even contesting a primary election will, of course, search for backdoor schemes to power. But it won’t happen. He failed yesterday, he is failing today, he will fail tomorrow - and not even the intervention of Hades will spare him from the familiar sting of defeat come 2027.
But for now, we have a Nation to rescue. And even in our imperfections, we remain better off than any shiny promise America may wave before us.
Finally, Effiong, do yourself a favour and sit this one out - it is above your intellectual stamina. Even the law you profess to practice has been an abject disaster; you have jailed more clients and endangered more cases than you have ever won.
IHIBEHE - SHALL I BEGIN?
