When Peter Obi first became Governor, he was invited to an official meeting in Abuja. His aides prepared a list of about 30 people to accompany him, just as was customary for governors at the time. Another invitation came, and once again he traveled with a large entourage.
By the third or fourth trip, however, Obi began to question the huge amount of money being spent on these journeys. He felt it was excessive and unnecessary.
It was not his personal money being spent—it was government money, and the expenditure was legally approved. Yet, to Obi, it represented wasteful spending of public funds.
He called his staff and requested a detailed list of everyone who traveled with him, along with their specific responsibilities. After reviewing the list, he concluded that most of the tasks assigned to those individuals were things he could handle himself. He even insisted on carrying his own bag rather than assigning someone to do it for him.
He also reviewed the security arrangements. Instead of paying for multiple security personnel to travel back and forth at government expense, he reasoned that it would be more cost-effective to coordinate with the Inspector General of Police and use security personnel already available at his destination.
Through this culture of prudence and careful management of public resources, Peter Obi was able to leave Anambra State with substantial savings, clear outstanding debts, invest heavily in schools and hospitals, pay workers’ salaries, pensions, and gratuities, and undertake major infrastructure projects. Under his administration, Anambra also recorded significant improvements in educational performance.
This is the candidate we are presenting to Nigerians. We have taken the time to examine his record, his leadership style, and his achievements in public office. After careful consideration, we believe he stands out as one of the most capable leaders among those seeking public office.
May Almighty Allah grant him the opportunity to serve Nigeria and the wisdom and strength to lead the country towards progress and prosperity. Ameen.
I saw a post on Tumblr that said, “The idealized future version of myself cannot exist without my current self being the catalyst for change and doing hard things,” and it stuck with me.
i actually feed on intelligence. i love it when people know a lot about a lot of things, such as music, films, religion, beliefs, and history. i love listening to people's opinions. i want to suck in all these smart things like a sponge.
Did you know that if you took 100% of Elon Musks net worth and gave it to Elon Musk he could spend it however the fuck he wants because he is the person who earned it and every other opinion on what he should do with his money is irrelevant?!
Life is so incredibly unpredictable. You might have a terrible year from January to June only to have your life dramatically change by July and end up having the best year of your life. I need that.
Being in a third world country is so irritating 😭
I was watching a woman in YouTube building a DIY bookshelf, it was looking so easy and beautiful till she went to her garage and used a $7000 dollars laser printer to make some intricate design.
Bitch fuck you and your good quality of life that lets a random civilian afford a laser printer or a 3d printer.
I'm sorry, but fuck you.
Once we are able to elect Peter Obi, rascals and thugs will stop contesting for president because we will have raised the bar so high.
Then, a new era begins.
