INEC @inecnigeria remains our greatest obstacle in Nigeria.⚠️
Brazil held elections yesterday, and by 1:30 am today, the results were already announced.
Incumbent Lula da Silva garnered 45% of the votes, while his challenger, Flávio Bolsonaro, received 47%. Neither candidate met the constitutional threshold to declare an outright winner, ensuring a run-off on October 25.
Brazil, with a population of approximately 215 million, conducted its election electronically without the need for an ‘INEC Chairman’ to manually collate results from each state. Remarkably, there were no reports of election-related violence.
This should prompt reflection.
Despite being classified as a ‘developing country,’ Brazil hosts Embraer, the world’s third-largest commercial aircraft manufacturer after Boeing and Airbus.
The core issue is not simply whether a country is ‘developed’ or ‘developing,’ but whether its institutions can match the aspirations and complexity of its people.
INEC @inecnigeria is Nigeria’s biggest impediment to election progress.
JUST IN: INEC officials compromised the 2023 general election.
— Former INEC boss Attahiru Jega.
Former INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, reportedly said some electoral officials compromised the integrity of the 2023 general election after being influenced by political interests. He called for stricter screening and greater independence in the appointment of INEC officials to prevent a repeat in 2027.
According to him, Nigerians deserve an electoral system where every vote counts and the process is transparent without being compromised.
Finally, INEC has officially accepted and updated to the official logo of the NDC.
The INEC website shows the the two fingers up, with blue background and the NDC inscription on it in red .
This is a step forward in the right direction in our movement to rescue Nigeria and get it working again. Congratulations 🎊 to us.
It's time to get to work now without any confusion and doubt.
Let's gooooo!
NDC! Service to the People✌️
If you cannot stand tall and affirm your Igboness among fellow Igbo people, what makes you think you will suddenly discover that courage when you stand among people of other tribes?
I will say this without apologies.
Stop outsourcing your self esteem.
Whether you are from Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi, Delta, Rivers or any other Igbo speaking community, nobody owes you the sense of worth you refuse to give yourself.
If you constantly enter conversations already convinced that somebody considers you, less Igbo, less important, or somehow inferior, eventually you will interpret every disagreement as disrespect and every difference as rejection.
That is no way to build a people.
Yes, prejudice can exist within ethnic groups. People sometimes make ignorant remarks about communities other than their own. Challenge it when it happens.
But there is a difference between confronting genuine disrespect and requiring everybody else to constantly reassure you that you matter.
You matter before anybody validates you.
Your village matters.
Your dialect matters.
Your history matters.
Your contribution to Ala Igbo matters.
And none of those things becomes more legitimate because somebody from another part of Igbo land finally gives you permission to believe it.
Every Igbo person should be raised like a king in his own house; not to look down on others, but so that he never needs to kneel before another person begging for validation.
Carry your identity with confidence.
Speak your dialect without apology.
Tell your history.
Celebrate your community.
Learn the histories of other Igbo communities too.
And when somebody attempts to diminish you, correct them without first diminishing yourself.
If nobody has ever told you this, I am telling today, right in your face that you cannot spend your life announcing that you are inferior and then become angry because somebody eventually believes you.
Unity does not require everybody to be identical. Igbo land has different dialects, histories, customs and local identities. That diversity does not have to become a competition over who is more Igbo than the other.
Nobody owes you your self esteem.
Nobody owes you pride in your ancestry.
Nobody owes you the courage to stand firmly in your identity.
Those things must first come from within.
Stand tall.
Know where you come from.
And never require another Igbo person to become smaller before you can finally feel big.
Your Igboness does not need anybody's permission.
Ka m bịakwanụ.
“If Peter Obi is elected as the next president of Nigeria, all the foreign investment company that left this country because of the bad economy, will return back to Nigeria. Peter Obi and Kwankwaso will make this country great again”

This was an explosive brand new interview by Peter Obi’s Commissioner and Chief of Staff, Prof Stella Okunna 🔥🔥🔥
Team “Where are his commissioners?” should head to YOUTUBE and Watch. 📌
Never in history of Nigeria have two grassroot-based movements fusioned into a unified force for collective aspiration and economic revival of our country. A new Nigeria is POssible. Nigeria will be OK! ✌️
Peter Obi is shaking the the Nigerian political landscape without a single governor. The incumbent is gripped with fear. Never under estimate the power of the tech generation.
Peter Obi is coming.
By the end of October, I will mobilize a minimum of 50 people in my community who have PVCs. I will start from there, and the number will grow before the election. My boys have been asked to swing into action.

“We over-trusted the system during the last election. We won’t leave anything to chance this time around.” — Peter Obi tells Nigerians at the Global Digital TownHall.
