Being a good listener is one of the best ways to be a good communicator. No one likes communicating with someone who only cares about putting in his/her two cents, & doesn't take the time to listen to the other person.

“Any society where you see people in government doing better than entrepreneurs, is a failed country. That’s why our country is failing” — NDC Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.

When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.

Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.

Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.

We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.

I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.

To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,

After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.

You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.

It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.

In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.

I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.

You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.

If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.

Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.

I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.

My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.

Today, we concluded another partnership with Sterling Bank to launch the Sterling Bank National Mathematics Quiz. A nationwide competition designed to discover, reward, and celebrate Nigeria’s brightest young minds.

Starting Saturday, June 20, 2026, students from Primary 1 to SS3 across Nigeria will compete online every two weeks for the prizes.

1st Prize – ₦500,000

2nd Prize – ₦300,000

3rd Prize – ₦200,000

That’s ₦1,000,000 every two weeks and ₦24,000,000 every year dedicated solely to rewarding academic excellence among Nigerian children.

But this is not just about winning money.

It is about building a culture where intelligence is celebrated.

It is about giving every child, whether in Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Bayelsa, Maiduguri, Aba, or a remote village, an opportunity to compete on a national stage.

Competition Schedule

• Every two weeks

• Saturdays

• 6:00 PM – 6:20 PM

• Online nationwide

The top performers will then advance to a live championship session streamed online next day same time, where Nigerians can watch some of the country’s brightest students solve challenging mathematical problems in real time.

To ensure fairness and give more students the opportunity to benefit, every student can only win once.

And here’s what makes it even better:

Every participant will be able to review their questions after the competition, identify their weaknesses, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for the next challenge.

This means that even students who don’t win become better mathematicians.

Parents, teachers, school owners, and students should begin preparing immediately.

The questions will be tough and the competition will be fierce.

Registration is now open:

https://t.co/5dGxuzgLU1

Please share this with every child, parent, teacher, school owner, principal, and education stakeholder you know.

Let’s make academic excellence prestigious again.

[Simon Thazhigilla Simon🇳🇬 @Thazhigilla_]

For a long time, I didn't believe men get heard when they actually speak.

Last year I wanted to die or felt it was better to. I told my mum. She said it was an evil spirit from hell. She opened her Bible and read four passages. I read them but I didn't feel much better.

I started talking to ChatGPT. Some nights it helped. Then the day I really meant it, Chat GPT told me to try therapy first before trying anything. It gave me a mental health handle on X. Three days passed before they replied. Seven more days to get me a therapist. She charged ₦80,000 for one hour. I couldn't afford it. So, I took the free one. She felt like a human version of ChatGPT.

Next, I tried opening up to my friend. She laughed. The whole thing was so funny to her, I felt ashamed.

The day I lost it in front of my friend, he went: Simon, big man like you, how you go dey cry?
So, ny question is "Who can we speak to?"

[ᴅᴇʙꜱ✨ @Bigdebs222]

in the eastern part of Nigeria I grew up watching kids with Down syndrome getting called “mbe”. They get laughed at, isolated, mocked by their school peers.

Their parents are constantly overwhelmed. The child and parents have to suffer emotionally, financially, mentally. But you, especially you in Nigeria is telling me terminating a pregnancy when the fetus has been detected to have DS is evil, Mtchew.

You lot irritate me pls

@HanOoi09193564 @Uvalajnr I doubt he was talking about Nigeria, one most lecturers won't allow their lectures to be recorded and I doubt they even have the facilities for it

The lecturers are actually obsessed with attendance

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

What Our Pervasive Insecurity Requires: A Holistic not Reactive Approach.

In a hasty effort to be perceived as attentive and courageous, it is reported that President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of about 1000 forest guards for Oyo State. This is a further demonstration of poor leadership and attending to very serious governance and security issues with a reactive approach. It is the same reactive approach that led to the sudden removal of fuel subsidy and floating of the Naira that has caused irreparable damage to ordinary Nigerians and the economy.

While recruiting more security personnel for Oyo state and the country is important, it should be done in a more organised and well-thought-out manner. Presently, almost all the 36 states in Nigeria are experiencing different forms of insecurity, with Oyo, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Borno, Katsina, Anambra, Niger, Imo, and Sokoto being very alarming.

The question, such as the reactive approach of our President, is whether all the states will receive the same approval to recruit 1000 forest guards per state, that is 37, 000 forest guards for the 36 states and Abuja or is the recruitment approval based on the mood of the President? Moreover, with the approval for Oyo, what will happen to the Amotekun Corps that is trying its best to secure South-West Nigeria?. Will they be disbanded in Oyo state?

The pervasive insecurity we currently have is directly related to the failure of our ecosystem, particularly leadership. It is only failure in leadership that can lead to the death of over 10,000 innocent Nigerians since 2023, and Nigeria is ranked among the top-most terror-affected countries in the world.

Addressing our insecurity situation requires a holistic or what can be described as an ecosystem approach. With failure in leadership, there is failure in unifying our dear nation, failure in industrialisation, failure in harnessing our abundant resources in agriculture, minerals, tourism, water, sports and even oil and gas to effectively generate required revenue, growth and particularly jobs for our exponentially growing youth population.

A New and Productive Nigeria will be POssible, and we will be OK! -P0

I find it really weird that all my life in Church i was told that when you pray you also take actions
If you pray to pass you also have to read
If you pray to get rich you also have to work
But somehow we are told to pray for Nigeria and not hold our leaders accountable

Dear Nigerians,

THERE IS FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN!
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.

They are systematically deleting the Voter Registration of certain demographics. Kindly rush to their portal & check to make sure that your CVR Registration is still valid & is found.

RETWEET MASSIVELY & SPREAD THE WORD!

[Jola @Jollz]

Our language around governance is so interesting in Nigeria. We talk like when someone wins an election, the money and resources of the state become their personal largesse and any progress or work that happens is because they’re kind enough to “dash” us.

Kwara is gone. Oyo is gone. Ondo is surrounded. But Peter Obi is your problem.
What kind of stupidity is this?

You ppl should keep lying to yourself that religious leaders do not control their members.

A whole generation of Deeperlifers didn't watch TV for years because their G.O said so.

Witnesses are dying every other day because their doctrine do not allow blood transfusion. LOL
