NDC House rep member Afam Ogene reaps Kenneth Okonkwo into shreds - Kenneth Okonkwo is simply an actor and an actor is person who plays any assigned role

Anytime Dele Farotimi speaks, Pls stop what you are doing and listen. Every young Nigerian needs to hear this.

The leadership of the Obidient Movement and the state coordinators paid a courtesy visit to the leader of the NDC, His excellency Sirike Dickson. He applauded the Obidient Movement for the good work they are doing to strengthen democracy, as well as for the support, energy, and commitment they are bringing to the NDC. Nigeria will be OK

@MikeArnoldTruth Keep pressing their stupid, evil, conniving necks. These guys aren't humans. They're the worst species of evil walking on two legs.

Step one. I hold a briefing. Step two. Ribadu rushes to Washington and offers them a juicy target for damage control. Step three. Trump bombs the terrorists. It’s happened twice now. Do you think I should keep doing briefings? Vote now in comments: Yes or No #EarthShaker

@GeneralSnow_ I love this game.

Hon. Ngozi Okolie, the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in Delta State, has reacted after arriving at the APC primary election yesterday, only to be informed that the exercise had already been concluded. He was reportedly defeated by former House of Representatives Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu. This guy won under Labour in 2023 and defected to APC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@IdrisZekeriJnr His sorrows are just beginning. This is the kind of harsh evil rain that would fall on all the snakes that crawled into power through the OBIdient wave, only to trample on our effort with their stinky dirty feet of disdain. It's just morning on judgement day.

😂😂😂😂😂 My brother Engr Iyawe Esosa won the Oredo House of Representatives seat through the Peter Obi and Obidient wave in Labour Party. He subsequently decamped to the APC, now my brother Iyawe is crying. 😂😂😂😂😂

If you attend many of these big churches in Lagos, be very careful what you consume from the pulpit this period, because I genuinely think a memo has been sent to many of them. The patterns are becoming too loud to ignore. Most of the topics, sermons, statements, and even program themes I’ve been seeing from some of these big churches are psychologically constructed to make Nigerians emotionally withdraw from voting and accepting change as impossible. Some weeks ago, it was Pastor Adeboye telling people that the next president has already been chosen by God. Now it is Matthew Ashimolowo saying Peter Obi is the best candidate, but he won’t win. Then another popular Lagos church is running with a program theme talking about “Jesus being the best political cover.” And there are many more subtle messages like that flying around. This is becoming too coordinated to be random. The timing. The location. The pastors involved. The exact emotional direction of the messaging. This is psychological manipulation, and many Nigerians are not catching it. Because APC knows something very important. They know they no longer have anything tangible to sell Nigerians again. Fuel is expensive. Food is expensive. Electricity is expensive. School fees are expensive. Businesses are collapsing. The naira has been battered. People are suffering visibly. So what do you do when performance can no longer convince the people? You start targeting their psychology. You start targeting hope. You start targeting morale. You start making people feel like resistance is pointless. That is the new strategy. And religion is one of the easiest vehicles to use because many Nigerians trust pastors more than they trust facts. Notice the pattern carefully. These pastors will subtly admit that Peter Obi or the Obi/Kwankwaso movement represents competence or better leadership, but immediately after saying that, they will emotionally conclude with: “But he cannot win.” “God has already chosen.” “Jesus is the answer.” “Focus on heaven.” Do you people not see the psychological game being played there? It is not direct support for APC. It is emotional demobilization. It is convincing Nigerians not to bother participating. It is making people subconsciously feel their votes do not matter. Because once people lose hope psychologically, the battle is already halfway won politically. And sadly, many of these pastors know exactly what they are doing because they understand how emotionally dependent many Nigerians are on religious authority. They know many church members will never question anything coming from the altar. That is why you must use your brain this period. God is supreme. Jesus is King. Nobody is arguing that. But God has also given human beings free will. The same Bible is full of people making choices and living with the consequences of those choices. Nigeria today is the result of choices. Bad leadership is the result of choices. Corruption is the result of choices. Silence is the result of choices. And better leadership will also come from choices. God will not come down from heaven to thumbprint ballot papers. Nigerians will. So when someone tells you “the next president has already been chosen,” ask yourself: Why then are politicians campaigning? Why are billions being spent on elections? Why are parties fighting desperately for power? Why are propaganda machines working overtime? Why are pastors suddenly sounding like political analysts? Because they know votes matter. And they know people matter. That is why APC and its supporters are now focusing heavily on psychological warfare. They know they cannot easily defend the suffering Nigerians are facing. So the next best thing is to make Nigerians mentally surrender before 2027 even arrives. That is why you must stay alert. Pray, yes. Trust God, yes. But also think critically. Because faith without wisdom is how manipulators control people.

@winexviv @OsifoMozzy You said everything.

There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly. We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause. Our education system has been deeply compromised. A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous: “You do not need competence to succeed.” WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.” And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear. It won’t. A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses. This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from. Not because Nigerians are not intelligent. Not because our youths are lazy. But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered. The painful part is this: UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum. The difference is standards. The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud. The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized. Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly. And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price. That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge. That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient. That compromised accountant may manage public funds. That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again. This is no longer just an education problem. It is a national security problem. Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely. Singapore did it. China did it. Germany did it. South Korea did it. You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity. Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent. Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence. And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence. This fight is bigger than schools. It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.

Sad: Schoolchildren Now ‘Pawns in Ransom Economy’ There is nothing more heartbreaking for a nation than an inability to protect its children. The recent attacks and kidnappings of students from two schools—in Mussa Village, Askira/Uba LGA, Borno State (North-East) and Ahoro-Esinele community, Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo State (South-West)—mark a grave crisis that threatens the future of the nation. Beyond the immediate terror of these acts, they represent a significant infringement on the basic right to education and a safe upbringing. The fear of further abduction often leads children—especially girls—to permanently leave school. The ongoing “out-of-school” crisis is alarming in itself, and it is likely to worsen due to these distressing incidents. In areas frequently affected by such attacks, education systems often deteriorate. Fear becomes a substantial obstacle to school enrollment, adding to the already high number of children currently not attending school. Ensuring the safety of schools is not just a logistical issue; it is a moral obligation. Protecting the next generation demands a blend of community-led intelligence, the physical strengthening of educational facilities, and a transparent justice system that holds wrongdoers accountable. For the actualization of a new Nigeria that is POssible, we must make the safety, education, and wellbeing of our children a priority. -PO

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the incoming Vice President of Nigeria. See love naa. This man will secure at least 6 million votes in the North alone.

If the APC leadership can treat a one time "ally", someone who was instrumental in the election of Tinubu in 2023, and a former minister of the federal republic, 2 term Governor this bad, it tells you so much about the true colour of the men in power. Those of you in bed with them now, bookmark this tweet, worse would happen to you when they are done using you. All enablers of this crass dictatorship and barbarian leadership should take note. Justice for Malam @elrufai ! Obey court Orders!

The Obidient Movement and the Kwankwasiyya Movement are both interested in building a new Nigeria founded on justice, unity, good governance, and equal opportunities for all. Together, Nigerians can work towards a better future. Nigeria will be OK.

Can You Imagine!!! VDMCC Wey Don Dey M@ð Just That People Never Just Know.

It is the character of the NADECO opportunist and his heroes of democracy.

It's a crying disgrace of a global proportion.

“I heard from a reliable source that INEC plans to remove NDC from the ballot papers for the presidential election and claim it's an omission, to stop Peter Obi and Kwankwaso.” I just saw this video. While I can't confirm the authenticity of their claims, I hope it is not true. With how events have unfolded in recent months, I chose not to trust INEC. I just hope this isn't even being considered.✍️

Absolutely well said.

It has never been worse than Tinubu has made it. Nigeria is continuously sliding deep into the bowel of doom.

No Nation should have the Misfortune of having leaders like Tinubu and Akpabio Nigerians we cannot reinforce misfortune 2027 = Tinubu Must GO❗️

@winexviv Coaches don't compete among themselves, their players do. The same should apply to teachers. Provide the incentives for them to be better but leave the competition. It might have the opposite effect.

Should we host a Maths competition for all the mathematics teachers in the South East? Winner gets N5 million and Grand Finale on live TV. What do you think?
