I'm not supporting Peter Obi blindly. I did my NYSC in Anambra state. I'm supporting Peter Obi out of knowledge. When it comes to leadership, Peter Obi rocks.
Kudos to Chief Ralph Obioha (Okpuruishi Arondizuogu) for this uncommon gesture. MAZI NNAMDI KANU is profoundly grateful for your high sacrifice & fraternal solidarity; and I am too.
A national award is a rare trophy, coveted by the high & mighty who even go to great extents to lobby for it.
So, it’s highly commendable that a distinguished leader like Chief Obioha flatly rejected it even when he more than merits it.
Accountable Borrowing: The South Africa Example.
I have consistently maintained that borrowing, in itself, is not a bad thing. Every nation borrows. The critical issue is not the act of borrowing, but what the borrowed funds are used for and whether citizens can clearly see and measure the impact of such borrowing in their daily lives.
There is a lot to learn in the open and transparent manner in which South Africa handled its recently secured a $1 billion loan from the New Development Bank, with a clearly defined purpose. Publicly announcing the targeted purpose of the loan for all to know and monitor, upgrading water supply systems, modernising sanitation infrastructure, improving electricity distribution, and strengthening waste management services across eight major metropolitan cities, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
This is indeed what accountable borrowing should look like; the purpose is clear, the projects are identifiable, and the expected benefits to citizens are measurable. Such investments directly improve living conditions, enhance productivity, and stimulate economic growth.
In Nigeria, however, the opposite is the case: public debt has risen dramatically under the current administration, and its deployment is shrouded in secrecy from the people who will indeed pay back the loan. Today, our total public debt has increased from about ₦87 trillion in 2023 to nearly ₦200 trillion.
Yet, despite this unprecedented accumulation of debt, Nigerians are often left without a clear and detailed account of how these borrowings are being deployed to improve critical sectors such as education, healthcare, power, security, and infrastructure.
Borrowing must never become an end in itself. Every loan obtained in the name of the Nigerian people must be tied to specific, productive investments capable of generating economic value, creating jobs, reducing poverty, and improving the welfare of citizens.
Good governance demands transparency and accountability. The government must be able to clearly explain what was borrowed, where it was invested, and what measurable outcomes have been achieved. The ordinary Nigerian should be able to see and feel the benefits of every debt incurred on their behalf.
At a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling with rising costs of living, unemployment, insecurity, and declining purchasing power, fiscal discipline and prudent management of public resources are no longer optional; they are imperative.
Every borrowing decision should answer one simple question: How does this improve the life of the ordinary Nigerian? If that question cannot be convincingly answered, then we risk merely transferring today's burdens to future generations.

Yea, this is how far the regime is willing to go to stop the narrative of "A CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA" even when this has been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, by every statistical and historical metric in the book.
Imagine the amount of money they had to sink into this venture that has failed and will continue to fail.
Tales of two Eastern governors.
Both are Technocrats, in same field, while one retired as the Governor of all banks the other retired as the chairman of a single bank.
While both serve in the same administration, One doesn't talk about the presidency, the other brags and insists of how he would influence the relection of PBAT .
While they both have children,
One has his son creating new dance steps wearing only apante, the other doesn't have his children disgracing his state.
While they both have predecessors, one keeps dragging his innocent brother, who didn't steal from states account, while the other allows his those who ruined his state walk freely
While they both have the responsibility to govern their different states, one has successfully chased fake dibias & pastors out of his state leaving the real ones to operate, while the other is successful projecting a 25yrs development model for his state to to the world.
Ndi Anambara, Ndo!!!
A lot of fraudulent lecturers are now being picked up by security operatives at Abia State University.
The system cleansing is intensifying by the state government.
Students who participate in such fraud will be expelled as well.
Once integrity is restored in our universities, the quality of our graduates will significantly improve.
You “snatched” a mandate that was never meant for you and forced yourself into government.
It has reached the time to govern, you are seeking an expo from the original owner of the mandate.
You copied his idea on fuel subsidy removal and made a mess of it. Your Minister copied his idea from the “understudy” of the power system in Egypt but pissed on it.
Because of your gross incompetence, your government has struggled to govern and the country has suffered multifaceted crises, even from the day of your swearing in.✍️
How can you open your mouth & say that people shouldn’t talk about insecurity because it makes this government look bad or it’s demarketing Nigeria?
This is you just saying the lives of those killed are irrelevant & the lives yet to be affected aren’t worth protecting.
Tinubu supporters are just more evil & wicked than Tinubu, bro.
One Nigeria, but there's no single embassy in the South East, no port, no FG parastatal, no standard rail.
The tribalism and haters has been greatly amplified by this administration.
Tinubu went to Chatham house and spoke like a semi-illiterate. He delegated El-rufai and Dele Alake to answers primary school questions for him. Yet his moronic supporters clapped for him, and called him intellectual. Now they have the audacity to scrutinise Peter Obi's interview. It's a curse to be shameless.
We now have 22,070 students registered for the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad.
Boys: 10,162
Girls: 11,908
This is now the largest academic event in Africa.
Beyond a competition, this is a movement to identify talent, reward excellence, and inspire a new generation of problem-solvers.
We are building the greatest workforce in Africa within 10 years.

If you are sincere and your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.
Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.
Peter Obi - a man that defies Nigeria's version of leadership.

It has reached a point where anyone supporting Tinubu to rule Nigeria for the next four years has to be declared an ENEMY of Nigeria.
