Fresh production from the Obidients; but this same documentary applies to @PeterObi While we await the production on Peter Obi from the Atiku @atiku camp; let me say in summary; Nigerians don’t need nomadic politicians, because leaders who can not build a party or solve a party’s problem can not solve Nigeria’s problems.

@BwalaDaniel @atiku @officialABAT From your mouth Bwala,oti da le,If I were you I will use wisdom to criticise Atiku
English

My former boss @atiku said “with a coalition candidate, President Tinubu @officialABAT is dead on arrival. Lol
But we know you are the coalition candidate YET (no vex sir), he defeated you in 2023 when you had governors, states, and structures.These governors, states and structures are with him.
With a coalition of aggrieved “STATELESS” leaders, I doubt if President Tinubu would bother to check the scoreboard on the day.

@BwalaDaniel There is nothing you can say that any sane person will listen or take you serious, after all, its political statement and should not be taken seriously

The opposition members under the umbrella of ADC know quite well that they are not ready for the election since all of them want to be president; they have now resorted to importing foreign interference into our elections by alleging one party state, as if the foreign governments don’t have their embassies and commissions here in Nigeria to know the lack of preparedness of the ADC.. Association of party-grabbing elements.

@SegunShowunmi Go join APC,it's your right rather than ranting online for Tinubu's attention

Factional Noise, Ill-Advised Strategy: The ADC Protest.
Let us be clear: the right to protest is not a license for political opportunism, nor is it a tool for blackmailing institutions into surrender. Those now shouting the loudest under the banner of grievance are, in many cases, recent converts, political migrants who only just arrived, yet already demand to harvest where they neither sowed nor invested.
This is the contradiction at the heart of the current noise from elements within the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Having plied their trade across multiple parties, often with little regard for institutional stability, they now seek to strong-arm the system into granting them legitimacy that their own processes and in some cases, the courts have yet to validate.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is not a clearing house for political desperation. It is not obligated to bend to street pressure, media theatrics, or the manufactured outrage of actors attempting to bypass due process. Where party constitutions are in dispute and matters are before the courts, INEC has a duty to stand down not cave in.
What we are witnessing is not principled dissent; it is calculated pressure. A familiar cast of recycled politicians, long accustomed to gaming weak structures, now testing whether they can once again bend the system to their will. But this is precisely the behavior a serious democracy must reject.
No country with any regard for institutional integrity allows a handful of itinerant political actors however loud to destabilize its processes. You do not reward indiscipline with recognition. You do not resolve internal incoherence through external intimidation. And you certainly do not permit those who ignored the rules yesterday to dictate outcomes today.
If there are grievances, the path is clear: follow your party’s constitution, submit to the courts, and earn legitimacy through process not protest. Anything else is not democracy; it is opportunism dressed up as agitation.
The line must hold. Institutions must not blink. And those who seek shortcuts must be prepared to confront the consequences of their own choices.

" I am not asking you not to support Tinubu or not to collect money from them but don't come to me and tell me this is the best Nigeria can get. His government is supposed to be when opportunity meets preparedness because he has been eyeing the seat for a long time.
When bad things happened in Nigeria and we complain you tell us it's happening abroad too but when we point out good things over there you start telling us stories. Tinubu is not the best for Nigeria.

I saw the response of one Paul Ibe, one of the Media Aides to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to my release on what transpired at his (Atiku) meeting in Minna, with Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, and I can't but be amused.
However, because of my respect for Atiku, I will want to assume that he did not authorise the press statement and I will expect that after seeing it, he will within 48 hours, cause a rebuttal to be issued on it.
Should Atiku not publicly disown the statement within the next 48 hours, I will have no option but to spill more beans (the facilitors and executioners) of the Minna meeting, particularly what was said about Wike) and by then, I will be doing so without any atom of respect for him.
Till then, we keep our gunpowder dry.

Earlier today, @Peter4Nigeria Peter Akah called all the senators in each state offhand without reading from a book as he energised the crowd at the protest ground in Abuja today.
A huge shame on all Nigerian lawmakers who are causing Nigerians pain.

@DeeOneAyekooto I bet he is referring to Nwankwo of CSO situation room. Nigerian NGOs are a mirror of our politics. They're as ignorant, mischievous & incompetent as the politicians they love attacking. Many are cowards & conmen/women.Preying on the short attention span & indolence of Nigerians.

"There's a man who heads one Civil Society Organization (CSO). I saw him on TV the other day abusing the Senate. The Senate that he makes money from. He said this Senate is the worst. The Electoral Act amendment is incomplete. We have not completed it, but they are already on television. They don’t understand lawmaking.
"They don’t even know that what is in the Senate is not completed until we look at the Votes and Proceedings. When we bring out the votes and proceedings, any senator has a right to rise and say, 'On clause three, this was what we agreed upon. And if those who are recording through the verbatim recorder disagree or agree, we amend it before we approve the votes and proceedings.' That is the only time you can talk about what the Senate has done or not done.
"But already people are on the television abusing the Senate. People have become mouth legislators. Go and contest election if you want to talk about lawmaking and go and join them and make the law. Retreats are not lawmaking; retreats are part of consultations. So why do you think that the paper you agreed in Lagos during a retreat must be what is agreed on the floor?...."

"Immediately, Tonye Cole saw that me and Fubara had issues, he came to my house, we sat at my swimming pool side. He said he has come so that we can work together, I asked him what about his loyalty to Amaechi, he said ge doesn't care about Amaechi and Amaechi cannot tell him tell him what to do.....imagine such a character......"

@mrlurvy Have you been to Western world before? Before I start the argument

My guy, It is always interesting when someone in the UK asks ‘where Nigerian taxes go’ as if tax revenue here is packed inside a Ghana Must Go bag and shared on the streets of Abuja. Let’s clear it up, Nigerian taxes dont vanish into thin air, they fund real projects and services.
Let us start with the basics: tax revenue in Nigeria goes straight into the Federation Account. From there, it is shared between the Federal, State, and Local Governments to fund everything from salaries of civil servants, security agencies, and teachers, to pensions and healthcare. That police officer guarding your community in Egbeda LGA, the soldier fighting insurgency, and the NYSC member serving in rural villages are all paid through tax revenue.
On infrastructure, you don’t have to look too far. The Second Niger Bridge that finally became a reality after over 40 years of talk was funded in part by taxpayer money. Same for the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway rehabilitation, Abuja–Kaduna–Kano highway, rail projects like the Lagos–Ibadan Standard Gauge, and even the ongoing Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway. These are tangible, visible projects where Nigerian tax revenue is at work.
On social investment, Nigerian taxes fund school feeding programmes, conditional cash transfers to the poorest households, student loan schemes, and recently, the Renewed Hope programmes that provide grants and support for small businesses. In healthcare, tax revenue supports initiatives like subsidized dialysis, immunisation drives, and upgrades to federal teaching hospitals. No system is perfect, but the idea that “tax is just looted” is lazy and dishonest.
So, yes, there are leakages and governance gaps, no one denies that, but to claim Nigerian taxes go only into ‘looting’ is like saying all UK taxes go only into funding wars. Every country has its problems, but in Nigeria, taxpayers’ money is visibly shaping infrastructure, supporting vulnerable citizens, and strengthening national institutions. The real challenge is deepening accountability so that Nigerians see even more value for their contributions.
Until then, abeg don’t act like taxes don’t work here. They do, you just have to open your eyes beyond Twitter hot takes.

I'm sure no Nigerian is against paying tax, but where exactly does it go to? Stable electricity? Good roads? Education? Quality health care ?? Looting?? Where exactly? These are the issues

@adeyanjudeji I have never seen where an activist will be so obsessed with opposition candidate and turns blind eyes to the real societal worries
English

@adeyanjudeji You're never consistent, just flip flop.Today you say one thing tomorrow you say another,
English

@adeyanjudeji That should not be your headache that you should worry about,win or not Peter Obi will remain a political force and a great man who raised his voice by offering himself for service in the midst of misgovernernance
English

@adeyanjudeji You're really not busy,cuz if you are, you won't have time for idle talk and social media.Exept those deceiving you, I can any right thinking person will have a case and will take it to Deji except police charge bail
English

Both offline and online, everyone is saying I will go very far in the legal profession except of course the members of the mob and those who are just envious of our exploits. If we post 0.05% of what we do daily online, our haters will go insane. We are not like the leader of the mob that carry cameramen everywhere.

@adeyanjudeji come clean and join party of your choice,don't hide,what has Obi done except he presented himself to run for president.

@OurFavOnlineDoc Very informative! I have a British passport but I would love to move to Canada!
