@PeterObi And with all these facts starring Peter Obi in the face. He still believe the way out is an election in 2027? The only solution to our problem is a revolution. The criminals running the criminal enterprise aren't civil enough to conduct a decent election 🙄.
Today, while driving in the East on our way with Peter Obi for the burial of the outstanding late Nollywood icon, Mrs. Nkechi Winifred Nweje, we noticed a woman trying to board a bus on the other side of the road lifting a heavy bucket.
The bucket looked like it was quite heavy for her age, she found a bus but sadly why trying to get in, the bucket fell.
It was clear she was in distress.
Peter Obi immediately asked the driver to stop and was watching to ensure the woman was okay.
He then asked the driver to turn to her side of the road.
When we got towards her, PO got down from the car. She was excited and shocked to see him and immediately the sadness on her face turned to a beautiful smile.
She immediately asked for a hug and PO asked her if she was fine.
Some people around were trying to help her pack up what poured out from the bucket, to save at least what has not touched the sand.
She told us she was going to the market to sell it, as that is her only means of survival.
Peter Obi asked her the cost of the produce and she said it was around ₦8,000 and she’d sell them all for around ₦10,000 making a small profit of about ₦2,000
She also said she doesn’t know how much she’d make from it again, since she has lost some of the produce.
She may not even make up to the cost.
Peter Obi immediately handed her some money to cover it all.
She screamed in excitement, hugged him and prayed for him.
She even took some of her produce and attempted to offer it to PO to show her appreciation.
The joy on her face seeing that someone lifted a burden for her was touching.
Nigerians work so hard everyday for so little, while the political elite continue to steal, pad budgets and still squander our public wealth without even investing in the people or their health.
This is not governance. This is CRUELTY dressed as leadership.
We are a rich country ruled by people with cruel hearts.
This woman’s story is not isolated. It’s the consequence of years of corruption, greed, and deliberate act of our leaders to make Nigerians poor and hungry.
You cannot tell the people to fast while you feast.
Nigerians are poorer now more than ever. Our country’s wealth should be used to improve healthcare for Nigerians, provide dignified jobs and invest in market access for small business owners but rather it is squandered by corrupt and greedy leaders.
We must build a Nigeria where public money goes into investing in the people.
We deserve leaders who have compassion for the people, and will invest in pulling Nigerians out of poverty.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
"They offered me $5 million to shoot Ibrahim Traoré from behind specifically when he bends to pray to Allah. They even promised my family and me citizenship in their country. They called it 'an offer I couldn’t refuse.' To them, money matters more than humanity.
But I asked myself. Is $5 million worth carrying a guilty conscience to my grave? Will that money make me a king in a foreign land, or a fool mocked by their sons and daughters? I’d rather live as a lion in the wild than as a dog in their city."

In my view I think there were 3 different personalities of Mandela that fought for the people in South Africa- The Pre 1944 Lawyer, The indefatigable ANC Mandela 1944-1964 and the released Mandela post 1990. His approach to liberation changed at those different times but you can't take it away that he genuinely loved his people all through life.
Listening to the court proceedings that led to the 1964 judgment, I ask myself if Africa will ever get liberation elements like Sisulu and Mandela soon.For Walter Sisulu particularly i wonder where that kind of audacity and courage comes from, even in front of a white judge at such a dangerous time.
Mandela aligned with countries that supported ANC althrough including atinwestern nations like Libya, Cuba and Palestine but he managed South Africa more diplomatically in his last years ensuring white and black south Africans could live together in peace. That for me does not make him a puppet.
Went to a friend’s dedication today and met an APC man. We argued about GRV and his Lagos roots.
And he said “Nobody knows GRV’s father’s house or ancestors in Lagos.”
I simply googled and showed him facts, right to the great great grandfather of GRV.
In fact Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is one of the very few people whose ancestral tree can be accurately and appropriately traced in Lagos right from the year 1800.
So I asked this APC man a simple question “who is Tinubu’s father and where is his father’s house in Lagos”
He got upset. He got so visibly upset and then said “these children of these days”
Well I kept asking him “Sir, please what is Tinubu’s ancestral roots and where is his father’s house in Lagos.”
He then told me to ask Google 😭.
Guess what? Google said Tinubu is a Kanuri man from Borno State 😭.
So you mean in the whole Nigeria, nobody even knows where this Guinea Bissau man came from😭.
@AfreximResearch@sgyemikale What an amazing and fearless submission. "Without addressing youth unemployment, food insecurity, underinvestment in rural infrastructure, reforms would fail to deliver transformative impact 👏."

@PoloM77@valentineozigbo Simple question. If he had won the APC primary and PO and Amoda are contesting in 2027 as Presidential candidates, whose rally and program and support will he be projecting? Amoda APC or PO in another party?
