Peter Obi is not an Igbo candidate. He is pan Nigerian in outlook & orientation. He believes in a United Nigeria. His support base cuts across the country, majorly among the young & forward-looking citizens, who have been shortchanged by old corrupt politicians over the years. ✅
In fact most of the political class in his South East zone detest him with passion, just like their colleagues all over the country who want the status quo to continue. They want the continued appropriation of our Commonwealth, and fear that he is coming to rock the boat.
Anybody who tells you that Peter Obi is inclined to a certain section of the country is your enemy, & wants to play their old tribal card, which has been very effective over the years, until NOW. The tables have turned. They won't get us with it anymore. We're smarter than that.
Our ethnicity wouldn't put food on our table. It wouldn't pay our school fees. There aren't different prices for foodstuff in the market based on where we come from. Our Mumu Don Do!!! The 7 wasted years of Buhari has taught us a bitter lesson. They won't deceive us again!!!

The political ascent of Peter Obi is evident; some even think his presidential quest is providential. Does Obi have a date with destiny, or will ‘Obistructionist’ forces rise up to impede his progress?

Thread 🧵
The wind may be in Obi’s sails, but there may be ‘Obistacles’ ahead he and his supporters should prepare to confront.
There is no longer any serious doubt about it. At this point in the 2023 presidential election cycle, we have three, not two, credible candidates in the race.
If the current trend continues, the 2023 election will be a vibrant three-way contest – though this does not mean, as yet, a presumption of equal chances for the three top candidates. Yes, we have a powerful duopoly – comprising the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples

UAE Ranks No. 1 For Migrating Millionaires; U.S.“Fading Fast,” China Falls

The UAE will lead the world in attracting millionaires to its economy this year, according to a forecast by the Henley Global Citizens Report released in London.
The UAE, Australia, Singapore, Israel, Switzerland, the U.S, Portugal, Greece, Canada, and New Zealand ranked in the top 10 in attracting U.S. dollar millionaires, a group it also calls high net worth individuals, or HNWIs.
“America is notably less popular among migrating millionaires today than pre-Covid, perhaps owing in part to the threat of higher taxes. The country still attracts more HNWIs than it loses to emigration, with a net inflow of 1,500 projected for 2022, although this is a staggering

Apple Inc's revenue from gaming and music offerings will jump 36% to $8.2 billion by 2025, J.P. Morgan analysts expect, as the iPhone maker uses its huge user base to develop its subscription services.
According to analysts JPM, by 2025 the combined subscriber base of the two services will be about 180 million people - 110 million for music and 70 million for games, helped by the rapid spread of the Internet and the booming gaming industry.
Apple Music, which launched in 2015 and is the second-largest streaming music service after Spotify Technology, is expected to provide most of the revenue, bringing in about $7 billion by 2025.

Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas.
He came to deliver a get well message from Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot. Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence..
requested to freshen up. He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no.
‘Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired.
