Directing people to attack your leaders on foreign soil is the height of barbarism. You don’t fight incompetence with crime or hate. You raise the bar and show leadership where they have failed until they get the message. Don’t make yourself an enemy of the state. #RiseAsOne 😡
Civility also must be perceived as a two way street. You don’t clamp down on peaceful protesters on their fatherland and deem freedom of expression and association treasonable felony unduly and expect agitations to sublime. Water will find its level somehow. Govt must do better!
The word “Leaders” was deployed intentionally depicting genuine responsibility and service to the people. Do we have leaders in Nigeria?! Is the interest of the people and Nation prioritized by those at the helm? Does National Security have a meaning in our clime?! #RiseAsOne
Nothing actually can stop a Change whose time has come. No militarization can stop the revolution when the time is right. The only thing that can stop it is for today’s rulers to rethink their current position against Nigeria & Nigerians. We’re close to the tipping point already.
Unless there is a possibility of a Stick beating Silence out of a Gong, would you succeed at silencing 190Million people from voicing out their discontent, displeasure and frustration based on the deliberate weaponization of poverty & unconscionable rulership in Nigeria.
The will of the people MUST be done as guaranteed by the constitution (however imperfect). Never shall the people continue to normalize oppression, while waiting to be struck down by the bullets of rogue Police officers, Soldiers, kidnappers, religious extremists or terrorists.
No Nation is run like Nigeria is currently being run and this is me being generous with words. To say Nigeria is a failed state is to state the obvious as the blind can see & as audible to the deaf. Even the mute protest neglect today. It’s time to recalculate our coordinates.
True leadership is Godliness as against religiosity or demonstration of false piety. It’s about discipline, accountability, transparency, perspicacity & intellectual fecundity. The entire country is a huge crime scene today despite the illustrious promise of an utopian dream.
Leaders are dealers in Hope. When the ray of hope is eclipsed by tyrannical blockage, it confines the people to their primitive state and all social traits is lost in the murderous battle for survival. No member of the ruling class will be safe once this stage is attained.
There is still time now to release all political prisoners and revisit all the progressive bills that have been deliberately subjugated to favor the political agenda of a handful against millions of Nigerians. God doesn’t want sinners to perish but come to repentance.
The people can not be demanding accountability, transparency, justice, equity and fairness for you to keep responding with belligerence, labeling, unnecessary violence, unfounded allegations etc. We the people are not asking for too much. Show responsibility!
Nigeria will not and cannot take another bout of failure. The time to make the needed changes to the current trajectory is now. All sectors of our economy are bleeding. Our institutions have been reduced to nothing but balkanized hubs of nepotistic agenda as transmogrified.
Our security operatives are suffering in silence within their regimented institutions. They are members of the society as well. They have families going through hardship as well and a time will come when all we will see will be Nigerians void of the titles & designations.
Where then will those at the helm seek refuse when besieged on every side by people seeking their individual pound of flesh? We hope it won’t come to this before the needful is done. When the righteous leads the people rejoices but when the wicked rules the wails are deafening.

It is a shame how in the bid to incentivize bad behavior, we castigate the consequences of the condemnable actions of those shaming our nation, instead of addressing the real issue. How do we hope to control how others respond to the primitive actions of those we are shielding?🤔
The moment you begin to say “we are not all like that” there is a problem. Arresting a thief for stealing need no defense by those that share his religion or ethnicity. It is not a judgement on his race but his action and he must take responsibility for the consequences.
If not for hypocrisy, when we all condemned the Culture of Impunity within the police, no one would dare raise an objection on the defense that not all Police officers are guilty of impunity. We held everyone responsible as expected that they all must caution their colleagues.
There’re certain fundamentals that can’t be breached based on sentiments. Pilots must have uncorrected distance visual acuity no worse than 20/70 in each eye, & vision must be correctable to 20/20 or better in each eye. #GettingItRightNG🇳🇬
It doesn’t matter if your tribe/religion is not represented enough in the profession. Bend the rules and risk human lives in droves with certainty of the compromise & ruin of the mode of transportation.
Stampeding the blind to lead the blind is counterproductive. #Standards 🎙
Pilots must have uncorrected distance visual acuity no worse than 20/70 in each eye, and vision must be correctable to 20/20 or better in each eye. Enlistees' vision must be fully evaluated during a pre-entry qualification physical.
Yet, this fellow tweeted photos of @renoomokri’s one year old daughter and sicced his followers on her to the extent she got death threats. Who really should be banned?
Character assassination & serial criminal defamation is NOT investigative journalism. We know reputable journalists in our clime. They are not hands for hire by politicians to impugn the integrity of others. I was alarmed at the number of calls I received when I offered to help..
…you are a young man whose future is bright if only you get out of your own way. You are not a wanted man & being on self exile won’t grant you asylum in any sane country. This explains why you were declined by the UK, Belgium, US, Canada & Germany.
…attempt at foisting an ethnic power grab instead of regarding & understanding the physiology of democratic forces may be the undoing of this entire campaign.
“This Igbo ethnic albatross is in the view of most watchers of the times as ‘one big hurdle’ that HE Peter Obi and…
…his supporters must cross if he is to attract the necessary cross-national support without which it is impossible to win a presidential election in Nigeria.”
Peter Obi is not the problem. Most of the unhinged bigoted supporters are.
When clouded by anger in the collective we lash out to bottle the blame & focus on the problem rather than look inward. The obstacle is the path. You’re like the Joseph whose destiny is already ordained focusing on the evil acts of his brothers based on the envy of his dreams.
Oh, how can God say Joseph is a potential Minister in Egypt when he cannot even win his the affection of his brothers, who eventually sold him as a slave? Despite the illustrious dreams he was lied upon & sent to prison. Those he helped in prison forgot him there. It took years!
Slowly but surely, the gifts and discipline developed in obscurity spoke and never lied and he was remembered and God’s plan for him came to pass. The years of travails contributed to the perfection of his gifts & sharpened his horizon. God is not a man that He should lie.
The North enjoy their united front, while the South allow sentiments to divide them. The Igbos are not the enemy. Social injustice is. Igbo people have sacrificed too much to attain excellence & must never be sold as ethnic champions. This has been my take from day one. 🎙
We want a good system that works for all. Political history shows that the Igbos have supported anything based on merit and justice. They have voted against their interest so many times. They know a bad market from afar. Competence is better selling point not ethnicity.
The 2023 election is not about tribalism or religion. It should be based on competence and we must all speak with our votes. Whoever emerges will be our President not just for the people that campaigned or abused others in the process. Nation building should trump bigotry.
