My 23-Point Plan to Rescue Nigeria Our country is bleeding: the economy is on life support, insecurity has turned lives into nightmares, corruption has become a national sport, millions of our children are out of school, ghost workers and duplicated agencies are draining billions, while our resources benefit a few elites and traditional rulers instead of the people. I have build a 23-point Recovery Manifesto that will lead a decisive transformation of Nigeria focusing on efficiency, productivity, and long-term national progress. Here is exactly what I will do: 1. Merge redundant agencies: I will immediately combine overlapping bodies such as the EFCC with the ICPC, and VIO with FRSC, to eliminate duplication, cut waste, and create streamlined, effective institutions that deliver results without losing core mandates. 2. Eliminate ghost workers and enforce productivity: Using nationwide biometric verification and ongoing performance audits, I will ruthlessly remove the tens of thousands of ghost and idle workers draining our payroll, while retaining and rewarding only those who deliver measurable value. 3. Drastically cut government costs: I will ban official convoys, luxury vehicles, and unnecessary perks for public officials right from day one, redirecting every saved naira to essential services like health and infrastructure. 4. Streamline the legislature: I will abolish the House of Representatives to reduce costs and bureaucracy, retaining a lean and focused Senate solely for law-making and effective oversight. 5. Ensure full autonomy of key institutions: I will make INEC leadership, EFCC chair, and Supreme Court judges directly elected by the people or selected by an independent legislative process, completely removing presidential influence so these bodies operate with true independence and accountability. 6. Privatize all public universities: I will transfer ownership and management of all federal and state universities to private operators to drive competition, higher standards, and innovation while ending unsustainable subsidies. 7. Deliver free, high-standard basic education: I will make primary and secondary education completely free, compulsory, and of excellent quality nationwide, equivalent to a diploma upon completion, with integrated vocational skills training in areas like mechanics, agriculture, coding, and entrepreneurship so graduates are immediately employable. 8. Align tertiary courses to national needs: I will pause or phase out non-priority programs such as biochemistry, zoology, and botany until labor market demand justifies them. Courses will track economic requirements rather than arbitrary expansion, preventing wasted years for students with no job prospects. 9. Targeted scholarships with service commitment: I will offer full scholarships in critical fields like STEM, medicine, and engineering for exceptional students. Recipients must serve Nigeria for 5-10 years post-graduation or repay the full amount plus modest interest through structured installments, ensuring we build and retain talent. 10. Ban unregulated religious schools: I will close all Almajiri and unregulated madrasas (which affect millions of children and contribute to poverty and insecurity). A 25-year jail term applies to parents or operators who violate this, but only because I will provide free, high-quality government alternatives—ensuring every child receives proper education instead of street begging. 11. End all royal allocations: I will stop every form of government funding to traditional rulers and emirates (which cost the federation billions yearly in direct and indirect subventions). They can operate privately as cultural museums and tourist attractions to generate revenue and preserve heritage without draining public funds. 12. Simplify business registration: I will make CAC registration possible online in minutes, just like creating an X account, with minimal levies and very low initial taxes to unleash entrepreneurship. 13. Create an enabling business environment: I will remove all unnecessary bureaucracies, multiple taxation, and delays so anyone can start and grow a legitimate business quickly and affordably. 14. Reform the tax system comprehensively: I will implement a fair, transparent system that taxes every economic activity efficiently, broadening the revenue base without overburdening citizens or legitimate enterprises. 15. Assert 100% national ownership of resources: I will ensure full Nigerian control and maximum benefit from all natural resources for the country's development. 16. Implement true fiscal federalism: Every state will retain most of its resource revenues and pay only a modest, fixed percentage to the federal level for national priorities. 17. Fully privatize the power sector: I will complete the transfer of generation, transmission, and distribution to competent private operators to deliver reliable and affordable electricity nationwide. 18. Accelerate industrialization: I will pursue a Singapore-style blueprint through aggressive public-private partnerships to build factories, value chains, and industries that create millions of productive jobs. 19. Overhaul national security: I will tackle insecurity through community policing, advanced surveillance technology, better military-civilian coordination, strengthened border controls, and intelligence-driven operations to decisively end insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping. 20. Enforce compulsory education with support: With free, high-quality schools in place, parents who fail to enroll their children will face a 25-year jail term—not as brutality, but as a firm commitment to breaking the cycle of illiteracy and poverty. 21. Establish U.S.-style state police: I will allow full state control over policing by establishing decentralized, U.S.-style state police forces. Each state governor will have complete authority over recruitment, funding, training, and operations within their territory, enabling faster local response to security challenges while maintaining coordination with federal agencies for interstate crimes. 22. Build strong public-private partnerships: I will forge strategic alliances with local and international investors to drive infrastructure, technology transfer, and rapid economic growth. 23. Maintain a results-oriented workforce: After initial retrenchment and reforms, I will enforce continuous performance metrics across government so every retained public servant delivers tangible value to citizens. This manifesto represents my clear, actionable vision for a renewed Nigeria, efficient, productive, and prosperous for all.

Stop forcing your candidate on people. A good product sells itself.

Peter Obi’s Presidential ambition is tied to APGA. The party he swore he will never leave. Peter swore before Ojukwu and Ndi Anambra that he will never leave APGA. He said he will die with APGA. He said if he leaves APGA may he never achieve anything politically. He later left APGA. That’s why he hasn’t achieved anything politically since then. That’s why people used his name to win elections in 2023 while he, the owner of the name lost. I’m surprised he hasn’t realized this. Oaths are very powerful. Whatever he’s doing with ADC is a waste of time. Peter Obi has chances of being President in 2031 after TINUBU, but he can only do it with APGA.

“Culture is not static; things can change” in a bid to defend “Igbo by marriage” but culture will become static and things won’t be able to change when the conversation is bride price, burial rites and inheritance rights lmao. Una never sani wetin dey sup for here
