[ukor @ukor_]

I am not oblivious to the idea of consequences but it scares me given the disposition that I am human with only a compass that tells me what is good and bad in the now.

Omen or Opportunity?

[Ibeh @masurge7]

As at when Peter Obi bought his First House in the UK in 1987 my Parents were still Boyfriend and Girlfriend.

Jim Ovia hadn't started Zenith Bank yet.

Elumelu had just finished NYSC and was a new staff at Union Bank.

Otedola had just become a Managing Director for the first time at Impact Press.

Dangote was still basically a young trader and hadn't moved into manufacturing yet.

Tinubu was still a mere staff at Mobil.

Pastor Chris was still a Student Pastor.

I could go on and on..

Is this the man you are comparing with the Forger in Aso Rock?

If not for Politics who's Wike, Umahi and even Tinubu to Speak when Obi is talking?
OBI IS COMING

ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION

I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days.

I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics.

I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended.

Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them.

Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally:

As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility.

When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified.

Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years.

The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014.

The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting.

The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure.

This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record.

The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure.

The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.

I smiled when I saw this tweet.

There is one fundamental thing about first principles engineering: you always arrive at the same conclusions as other engineers working from the same fundamentals.

About a year ago, when I was planting the seed for my home power-management automation, I got a bunch of these.

I also wired every single power-hungry appliance for future connection to smart relays.

The goal was:

A: Dump excess solar into loads like water heaters, ACs, water pumps, etc.

B: During bad weather and low battery, automatically shed non-essential loads while keeping the lights on.

I also made the deliberate choice to pay the premium for Victron because of its open ecosystem.

My plan was to implement the automation using Node-RED. Back then, Victron hadn't implemented this feature natively.

Seeing Victron eventually implement the feature, and choose Shelly as its partner, was a nice validation of my original chain of thought.

I'm planning a thread and blog post about my take on smart homes and automation, and how I designed my house from the ground up to be smart.

From using lights as a house notification system...

To smart CCTV with advanced object recognition that can detect faces, license plates, humans, cats and dogs...

All using free and open-source software, completely cloud-free.

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy

My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.

We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.

The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.

The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.

It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.

If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO

@cowrywise - the Order Book page should have "Buy" and "Sell" buttons.

I shouldn't have to leave the "Order Book" page before I can place an order.

These small changes can significantly improve my experience on the app and web platform.

Anthropic engineer (ex-Google):

"I spent 14 years at Google and built 24 reusable skills for agents that I can use with any AI model

So I stopped prompting my agents from scratch. The repo has already reached ~100K stars on GitHub"

In a 40-min masterclass, Addy Osmani showed exactly how he uses his skills (~100K stars on GitHub) for his 24/7 multi-agent system

His workflow and this workshop will replace 15 hours of other paid videos on agent engineering

Watch it today, copy the GitHub repo - then read below how to use these skills for graphs ↓

Financial prudence is a character, not a campaign slogan.

Peter Obi has consistently demonstrated that character; cutting waste and insisting that public resources should work for the people.

In leadership, character matters.

One habit I picked up from someone I dated many years ago and I still practice till date is detailed apology.

In her words "Olayinka, I'm sorry is not a complete apology. What exactly are you sorry for?"

Back it up with a Bible passage, and I might take you seriously.

It is not a hill, and you don't have to die on it. This is just personal preference and doctrine.

[The LIGHT♥️💡 @Adasu_d_gr8]

One hill I will d!e on?

As a Christian, you don't need to stop at traditional marriage.

After the traditional marriage, proceed to Church for your Church wedding.

It's sickening seeing this generation of Christians avoiding Church wedding now.

After the traditional marriage, you still have no right sleeping with her until after the Church wedding.

GO AND BLESS YOUR MARRIAGE IN THE CHURCH.
