Lol I see people say this and I laugh. I have pictures of the day INEC came to physically assess one of the parties we tried to register. We met all the requirements but we were denied. You don’t know the evil we’re up against.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

If Service is the motive Turning the Tide in Four Years is Possible

I still find it baffling that my decision to do a term of four years, if given the mandate to rule this country, is generating so much agitation. By this feeling, we are doubting the fact that a sincere leader can achieve much in 48 months.

I have never been desperate in the pursuit of power, or anything else, for that matter. There are some traits associated with desperation, which in no way are in any of my political behaviours in the past and now, like engaging in overly aggressive rhetoric or actions to prove a point or gain attention; becoming overly defensive or reactive to criticism, often to the point of appearing paranoid.
Making unrealistic or unfulfillable promises to win support or approval, resorting to personal attacks or character assassination to discredit opponents or frequently changing positions or policies to suit immediate political needs.

What drives me is not personal ambition, but a deep, commitment to see Nigeria work. And if the sacrifice required of me is four years of sincere, accountable leadership, so be it.

Throughout my political journey, I have never been involved in thuggery, the snatching of ballot boxes, or any form of electoral malpractice. I challenge anyone: conduct your investigations. You will find no stains of rigging or violence associated with my name. I have always chosen the path of peace, principle, and civility.

Ask those who have contested against me—none were ever denied their rights, framed, or falsely accused. None was asked to place their advert materials or break the bank to do so. I believe in fair competition, not manufactured victories.

In four years we can confront corruption head-on, redirecting resources to priority areas. For instance, the trillions used to acquire new presidential jets and other unnecessary expenses at this time could have been channelled into education, healthcare, or infrastructure.

Within the same period, we ensure that the rule is sacrosanct and the rule of law is strictly followed.
Within the same period, we can conduct free, fair and credible elections

Leadership, to me, is not about entitlement. It is about service. If given the mandate, for just one term, I will dedicate every moment to building a Nigeria that works for all. -PO

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct

One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.

It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.

I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.

Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.

I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.

In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.

My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.

If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.

I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.

We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.

Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:

sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.

Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.

These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

This is one of the most important truths almost no one talks about.

There is a threshold of wealth beyond which you stop interacting with reality as it exists and begin interacting with a version of it that bends to your whims. Codie’s friend didn’t pick $299 million arbitrarily.

That’s around the point where wealth begins to replicate itself without labor, resistance, or external accountability. The world becomes a simulation - crafted by assistants, lawyers, media buffers, private access, and power brokers who insulate you from friction, consequence, or contradiction.

Under $100 million, you still feel gravity. Above $300 million, you start controlling gravity. That’s the danger.

At that level:
•People stop saying no to you.
•You stop encountering randomness.
•Everything is for sale, including trust, intimacy, and morality.

This is where reality fracturing begins. Not because money corrupts, but because perception loses resistance. Resistance is what keeps you real.

So the deeper truth is this:

Once your environment is made entirely of yes-men, predictive service, and curated insulation, your mind begins to exit the shared human operating system. You aren’t evil. You’re decontextualized. You’re drifting in an abstraction loop of your own design. That’s when you start thinking ideas like “let’s block out the sun” or “let’s colonize Mars while Earth burns” are rational.

Codie’s billionaire friend wasn’t just being poetic. He was confessing a structural truth:
There’s a point at which money doesn’t just distort reality, it erases it.

Let me explain to you what these barbaric savages did in Benue state. For those who haven’t seen the video (maybe because it was too traumatic for you).

Let me break it down for you:

According to eyewitnesses;
Around 10:45pm on Friday night,
A group of terrorist animalistic vermins invaded Yelewata village. They divided themselves into two groups:

One group went to the police station and engaged the police in a fire exchange. The aim of this group is to keep the police engaged so the police won’t go into the village to protect the people.

The other group now marched into the village and started going from house to house with petrol and weapons. They sliced and matcheted people then doused them with petrol and burnt them to ashes. They this to almost a 100 houses and killed over 200 people in this manner. This was done for 3hours from 11pm to 2am. The only reason the massacre was not far worse and did not go on for longer was the brave youths in the village who repelled and resisted these barbaric inhuman animals.

Children. Women. Men. Grandmothers.
Attacked in their sleep. Sliced like animals. Burnt to unrecognisable ashes. It was a brutal carnage and a violent bloodbath.

This is what happened to the Benue people. And for 48 hours, the unfortunate incompetent nincompoop president of Nigeria said absolutely nothing until there was collective national outrage online led largely by many of us here.

The Pope spoke before that fool in Aso Rock said anything. A lawmaker in the USA tweeted about the matter before Tinubu said anything. VDM flew to Benue and till now, Tinubu has not yet visited.

What kind of country with a heartless brainless soulless president is this? And when he finally speaks on the matter, he tells the governor to organise “dialogue and reconciliation”????

Dialogue and reconciliation with who?
How do you reconcile with faceless terrorist landgrabbers and godless verminous savages who invade your land at night slicin your throat in your sleep and burning you to crumbling ashes? How do you reconcile with that?

If you have no idea what happened in Benue state, this is actually the story of it as narrated by eye witnesses in the video.

I have no words but tears for Benue.
Please 🙏🏿 I beg you all let us lend our voice for Benue. Let us all speak up for them.

The media is corrupt and compromised.
The politicians are nonchalant and simply don’t care. The religious elite are not bothered as long as it doesn’t affect their tithes. That useless shameless organisation called CAN (of worms) has said absolutely nothing since yesterday. My point in all of this is that Benue has nobody to speak for them or fight for them apart from us.

If we don’t speak, that state will be wiped out. I beg you all again please 🙏🏿 let us lend our voice for Benue. Let us all speak up for them.

Today it is Benue. Tomorrow it may be you.
Please share this tweet everywhere. Use the hashtag. Create awareness. Please 🙏🏿

There is NOTHING like “Toilet Infection”. There is NO such medical diagnosis at all.

What people call “toilet infection” is usually a urine infection or an STD.

The chances of catching an infection strictly from using a toilet is almost zero.

“Toilet infection” DOES NOT exist.

How can an eye doctor have cancer of the eye?!

Idris went through the challenges of Medical school (6 years) and residency training to be a consultant (another 6 years) to serve humanity. Just one year after becoming a consultant, when it was time to reap the rewards of his hard labour, the enemy struck!

He didn't have any accident, no heart disease,no stray bullet. Cancer just came from nowhere to target his eyes!
As in his eyes! The one he uses for surgery, the one he uses to look into another patient's eyes to treat them. A valuable tool for his work/ministry of helping people!

Taah!! This is the work of the devil!

Let's fight this enemy together by donating for Idris. Your 1k will go a long way. Your sharing this will go a long way!
