TRIBUTE TO OLU JACOBS
It is with sadness that I received the news of the passing of our veteran actor, Olu Jacobs, whose demise was announced by his family yesterday, 16th September, 2026.
Olu Jacobs represented the excellence of the Nigerian spirit. He exemplified this through his remarkable contributions to the film and creative industry, in a career spanning several decades across both Britain and Nigeria.
His passing is once again a reminder to all of us that our time here is limited. Whatever responsibility we are entrusted with, and whatever area we are called to contribute to society, we must give it our very best and ensure that society benefits from our genius, talent and competence.
This was what Olu Jacobs was renowned for. He lived a life that demonstrated the power of talent, discipline, professionalism and dedication to one’s craft.
As we remember his life, times and passion, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, colleagues and the entire Nigerian creative community.
I pray that the Almighty will grant his loved ones, and our nation, the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.
May the good Lord grant our father, Olu Jacobs, and all the faithful departed eternal rest. Amen. -PO
Peter Obi was accused of leaving behind some phantom ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, & unpaid salaries, gratuities, & pensions for his successor, Willie Obiano.
Recall that the "jealous" Professor who made this childish claim was not even Peter Obi’s immediate successor. Guess what? Okwute not only debunked the politically motivated lies by Chukwuma Soludo, he also went further & provided the exact account details—First Bank, Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion—where he left the money.
Charles scored a beautiful own goal; he should have known better. You shouldn’t accuse Peter Obi of corruption without hard evidence.
He is different, he still remembers everything down to a T, as if it had happened yesterday.
Peter Obi has a beautiful mind. Every aspect of his cooking is delicious. He is hardwired to be meticulous; every approach is calculated & measured. He is vivacious at 65, his attention to details is marvelous. He remembers exact facts & figures 14 years after leaving office.
Agulu man is caviar; a bite leaves you wanting more. He is almost a saint; I have never seen anything quite like him. He guards his hard-won integrity jealously. He doesn’t shy away from seizing every opportunity to market himself.
I am certain Yahaya Bello is disappointed. While Peter Obi had every opportunity to embezzle those funds, unfortunately, my principal had already conquered greed while still in his mother’s womb. Soludo is a drowning man; he will finish his less-than-inspiring tenure & slip into obscurity, like many who plied his trade.
Of course, PO closed by signing off with his trademark punchline: “If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I’ll stop campaigning.
Chukwuma is wacko; as long as Peter Obi draws breath, professor will never rise. I feel good right now, I feel motivated. I don’t support rubbish, I knew PO will never put me to shame.
History beckons & we will not be silent. 💪👏
@GNC_Chuks Beautiful compilation there! Well done. I’m an alumnus of UNN faculty of Dentistry, and PO’s donation was well discussed in our associatn & group. It’s a major assistance & greatly helped to procure equipment & secured MDCN re-accreditation, enabling students to finally graduate.
"Peter Obi left office as Governor of Anambra State in 2014. He has not been a governor for more than 12 years. He is not a minister. He is not a sitting senator. He is not collecting federal constituency allocation. He is not controlling a state budget. And yet, since 2023, the publicly reported cash value of his interventions in Nigerian schools, universities, hospitals, nursing schools, health institutions and humanitarian causes is already over ₦1 BILLION.
2023: ₦40m — Faith Specialist Hospital, Awka; ₦20m — Faith Foundation Mission Hospital/Nursing College, Nsukka; ₦10m — Millennium College of Nursing Sciences, Awka; ₦10m — Paul University, Awka; ₦1m — Regina Caeli Specialist Hospital; ₦5m — victims and healthcare workers affected by the Kaduna/Tudun Biri bombing; ₦1m — hospital bill of an abandoned patient in Enugu; ₦50m — additional support associated with Bishop Shanahan College of Nursing. That is already well over ₦130 million in publicly reported interventions in 2023 alone.
And then came 2024. ₦75m — Annunciation Specialist Hospital, Enugu; ₦75m — Immaculate Heart of Mary Specialist Hospital, Nkpor; ₦10m — College of Nursing Sciences, Amichi; ₦10m — School of Nursing, Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi; ₦10m — St. Charles Borromeo College of Nursing Sciences; ₦10m — St. Joseph College of Nursing Sciences, Adazi-Nnukwu; ₦10m — St. Philomena School of Nursing, Benin; ₦15m — Grimard College of Nursing Sciences, Kogi; ₦50m — Shanahan University; ₦10m — Waterside School of Midwifery; ₦10m — Borromeo College of Nursing; ₦50m — University on the Niger; ₦10m — Iyienu School of Nursing; ₦50m — Peter University; ₦10m — School of Nursing, Adazi-Nnukwu; ₦10m — Regina Caeli School of Nursing. He also pledged another ₦120 million over two years to the Holy Rosary Sisters for education, healthcare and humanitarian work.
Then 2025 came, and the donations did not stop. ₦20m — Faith Nursing College, Nsukka; ₦10m — Holy Rosary College of Nursing, Ahiara; ₦10m — Our Lady of Lourdes College of Nursing, Ihiala; ₦10m — Tansian College of Nursing; ₦10m — Ebonyi Nursing College; ₦20m — Godfrey Okoye University/School of Nursing; ₦10m — Our Lady of Apostles College of Nursing, Jos; ₦15m — St. Philomena College of Nursing, Benin; ₦5m — Muhammad Sambo Memorial Islamic Institute, Kaduna; ₦5m — Madarasatul Hidayyatul Auladi Almajiri School, Kaduna; ₦5m — Womanhood College of Health Sciences and Technology, Kaduna; ₦10m — St. Gerald College of Nursing Sciences, Kaduna; ₦10m — ADON College of Health Technology, Nnewi; ₦25m — Dominican Sisters’ College, Abatete; ₦50m — Christ the King College, Onitsha; ₦15m — University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Faculty of Dentistry; ₦20m — Anglican Primary Healthcare Centre, Ihuokpara, Enugu; ₦20m — Annunciation College of Nursing Sciences, Emene; ₦15m — St. Charles Borromeo College of Nursing; ₦10m — Anglican School of Nursing Sciences, Oji River; ₦15m — College of Nursing, Adazi-Nnukwu; ₦15m — St. Philomena Nursing School; ₦4.74m — NECO examination fees for 148 iπmates in Anambra. And there were other interventions.
Then we entered 2026. Still giving. ₦5m — Immaculata Girls’ Model Secondary School; ₦10m — College of Health Technology, Nnewi; ₦5m — Vocational and Technical Academy, Ozubulu; ₦10m — Immaculate Heart of Mary Specialist Hospital; ₦10m — Mgbowo Hospital restoration; ₦15m — Philomena School of Nursing, Benin; ₦30m — Dominican University, Ibadan; ₦30m — Peter University; ₦10m — College of Nursing Sciences, Mbano; ₦10m — Western Academy, Umueze-Anam; ₦5m — St. John Bosco Group of Schools; ₦10m — Ehime General Hospital, Imo; ₦15m — Holy Rosary School of Nursing, Emekuku; ₦10m — Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital, Enugu; ₦10m — St. Raphael’s Hospital, Umueri. And more.
And our h£∆dache is that his wife, who can afford a luxury handbag, bought a luxury handbag?
MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?

Rarely will any politician in Nigeria be that selfless not take advantage of your incapacity where it would've benefited them with glory and credits. He told them they should ask the people about what is happening: invstigative journalism.
Peter Obi is NOT a Gentleman like that Oh! See Is he not a TRUE Nigerian? https://t.co/VrqvnWToG1 via @YouTube
It's informative to watch the accompaninig interview with Mr. Peter Obi by Channels Television.
In this video, Mr. Peter Obi has kindly tried to direct them to excercising the proper intelligence for journalism, telling them the right questions to be asking.
This Mamapee advert on Peter Obi is super!
Should be played over & over again to our youths, parents, elders, new & old voters.
Nigeria Will Be “OK” if we do the right thing.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
I don't think Peter Obi is a real Human Being.
But if they check and he is, then he definitely is not a Nigerian.
His father has questions to answer.
1. Peter Obi rejected #700m monthly pension as Ex Governor.
2. Peter Obi rejected lands given to Ex Governors as part of their entitlements.
3. Peter Obi rejected #500m House & Furniture Allowance as Chairman of Security & Exchange Commission, SEC, Abuja 2015.
4. Peter Obi rejected $1m dollars as prize money for being the First & Best Governor to achieve the 2020 Millennium Development Goals, MDGs.
5. Peter Obi rejected the offer of an Oil Well, one of the reasons Nigerian Politicians k!ll to attain Abuja Status.
6. Peter Obi rejected the allocation of millions of naira for the set up of office of the First Lady. Insisting that his wife was not an elected official.
7. Peter Obi rejected the proposal to share the State annual budget on percentage with the State House of Assembly leading to his first unlawful impeachment.
8. Peter Obi handed over about #75bn in cash & assets after 8yrs as Governor, rejecting to convert it to personal use like other Governors did.
This man has conquered man's most natural, intense & vicious appetite...Greed.
I want someone to prove just one of these statements to be false.
Peter Obi is the Man

The most disheartening thing is that this guy will continue in his current job even after this massively shameful display of a brazen lack of integrity.
