Dear Peter Obi, @PeterObi
I am compelled to write this for posterity. To capture my exact feelings in this moment.
You don’t know me and probably will never see this but if you ever feel like you are responsible for dashing the hopes of well meaning poor Nigerians who believed in your dream, the silence you hear is not disappointment in you but a realization of the amount of corruption you were standing up against by even daring to run. It is clear now why the political elites were shocked by your audacity and said you wouldn’t win a single local government. You went from two people tweeting in a room, to SIX MILLION votes. You galvanized the weak and the hungry and those who had given up on the Nigerian project.
As a dark cloud, heralded by the creeping out of nefarious characters like Asari and Oluomo, covers Nigeria and blocks out whatever sunlight was left, the same Nigerian system we grew up to despise has reminded us all why. Sometimes just adjusting and surviving makes you forget the amount of dirt you are sitting in. You brought the broom but those who use us as a dumpster for their personal gain have shown the strength of elitist collusion. They think they have secured the status quo for their entitled foreign based children.
I need you to however remember that the true measure of leadership is not in a title held, but in the sparks ignited just by your words, deeds and strength of character. That’s why Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King didn’t need titles or offices to evoke lasting change from the rotten status quo. They made people see what’s possible and determine to change it. Every child South of the Niger (and indeed the world) has heard you Peter, they have felt the inner stirring. Through your tenacity, you have exposed tribalism, nepotism and the orchestrated plan to deprive some from fulfilling their God given potential by reason of their heritage. You have forced the oppressors to show their true colours and validate what we thought was mere speculation: that we are indeed under barely concealed bondage, and must work daily through generations to break free. By that token, you have succeeded.
The spark you have ignited by seeing this through to it’s logical conclusion, will only grow until fulfilment. Like the actions of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King led directly to Barack Obama and Kamala Harris generations later, whether you eventually ascend to the rightful office of leadership or not, a child watching today has decided he will not stay where he has been put by the ruling tribes and will finish what you have started.
May you live to see the day.
It took one video of a convoy of brand new SUVs by people with no legitimate source of livelihood, posturing as political campaign parasites, to finally get a reaction from Nigerians. Maybe it is videos of the corruption we need not all this English we have been speaking.
The APC preaches austerity to ordinary Nigerians even as its youth leader distributes the latest Prados and lives in open luxury.
Nigeria remains a rich country filled with poor people.
The average cost of a brand-new 2026 Toyota Prado is ₦145,000,000.
In this video, we counted seven such vehicles, and the number could be even higher. The total cost of these seven vehicles alone amounts to ₦1,015,000,000.
While the rudderless, clueless, and ruinous administration of President Bola Tinubu has been asking Nigerians to endure the pains of its wicked and cruel reforms, this is how taxpayers’ money is being spent.
The wasteful APC-led administration is funding the lavish lifestyles of politicians while ordinary Nigerians wallow in poverty. We cannot continue like this.
We owe Nigerians and the unborn generation the civic duty to vote the ruinous administration of President Bola Tinubu out of power.
Our presidential candidate is strongly committed to cutting the cost of governance. If you want a government that will judiciously manage the resources of our dear country, vote for His Excellency, Peter Obi, CON, for a new and working Nigeria for all, and not for a corrupt few.
Youth Leader Dey collect sharp 2026 prado for election Mobilization.
Soldier wey dey fight for war front sometimes no fit afford new boots or uniforms.
But the same Nigerians insulted me for daring to ask the Lagos State Government to provide free healthcare insurance or remove the forced mandate. When I say slaves that love their chains. The fact that one single individual would defend this atrocity called APC, baffles me.
@dayoisrael This is what you bastards are doing with our commonwealth.
So this is what the Mummy's Boys are receiving for "election mobilization".
120M naira each?
Or am I crazy. What kind of republic is this. What tonedeaf effrontery is this? Jesus Christ.
I knew Nigerians were done for life when people started saying an aspiring presidential candidate was ‘stingy’ simply coz he wasn’t willing to bribe people to vote for him.
Those who sold petrol at N67 and N165 per litre are incompetent leaders, while the one selling it for N1,550 is a nation builder.
You’re just a foolish being!
Nigerians are generational sufferers. Even the good old days were actually not good. From civil war to military dictators to APC. Every father trains his children on how to suffer and manage. The children meet a worse country and pass the suffering to the next generation. Yet…
This part. And they think I will waste my time trying to argue with them on why they should want more for themselves instead of selling all their property and borrowing money just to leave the country as the only solution. Slaves that love their chains
