Open Apology Letter to the Obidient Movement My Dear Obidient Family, I come before you today with a heavy heart, deep humility, and no excuses. Some time ago, in a moment of frustration and immaturity, I wrote and released a resignation letter as Director of Mobilization. In that letter, I allowed deep frustration & personal emotions to cloud my judgment. I made statements that subtly and unnecessarily dragged Peter Obi, a man I still respect for his vision, integrity, and sacrifice for this nation. That was wrong. It was childish, and beneath the standard I should have upheld, especially as someone who once held a leadership position in this movement. I take full responsibility. No one forced me to write it. No one edited it. It came from me, and it was a mistake. I deleted the letter afterwards, but I know deletion does not erase the damage, the disappointment, or the loss of trust many of you felt. I understand why some of you no longer respect me the way you once did. You had every right to feel let down. To Peter Obi himself (fondly called PO): Sir, I am sincerely sorry. My words were not a true reflection of the values of sacrifice, accountability, and constructive criticism that you preach. I failed in that moment. To every single Obidient, the ones who stayed grinding, the ones who defended the vision even when it was tough, the ones who felt betrayed by my actions, I am deeply sorry. You are the real heroes of this movement. Many of you are young people full of hope and fire for a better Nigeria. You didn’t deserve to see internal cracks turned into public drama. I let you down. I am not writing this because I want something or a position in the movement as I’m enjoying private life. I am writing it because it is the right thing to do. Leadership is not only about when the road is sweet and smooth; it is also about owning up when you mess up. I own this fully. I am committed to rebuilding trust through consistent actions, not just words. But I also know trust is not demanded, it is earned back slowly, if at all. Thank you for reading this. Whether you accept my apology or not, I respect your feelings and your right to hold me accountable. The love I have for a better Nigeria has not changed. You all know me. My respect for the Obidient spirit remains. I am sorry truly. With humility and hope for forgiveness, Your brother in this struggle, Morris Monye. Oya come let’s hug. 😊

Imagine your boss doubled your pay tomorrow. Henry Ford did exactly that to his factory workers on January 5, 1914. The New York Times' financial editor walked into his newsroom and asked if Ford had lost his mind. It built the American middle class. Before Ford's announcement, the auto industry paid roughly $2.34 a day for nine hours of work. Ford bumped his minimum to $5 for an eight-hour shift. More than double the pay for one less hour of work, and no factory in America had ever paid that kind of money for unskilled labor. Twelve thousand people showed up at the Ford factory gates the following week, sleeping outside in a January blizzard. Fire hoses came out to push the crowds back. Ford had to announce that only people who had lived in Detroit for six months would be hired. Two years later, Ford's profits had doubled. Before the raise, he had been losing nearly four workers a year for every single job on his factory floor. After, he was losing barely any. Output per worker rose 40 to 70 percent. In 1914 alone, Ford sold 308,000 Model Ts, more cars than every other carmaker put together. A Model T in 1908 cost the average American 18 months of pay. By 1925, it cost 4 months. The car got faster to build too: twelve hours per car dropped to 93 minutes. By 1918, half the cars on American roads were Model Ts. Fifteen million rolled off the line over 19 years. Then in 1926, Ford did it again. On May 1st, he gave his workers a five-day, 40-hour week, with no cut in pay. Other manufacturers were forced to match, and the two-day American weekend spread across the country. Twelve years later, federal law made it official. Henry Ford was generous with his own money too. He gave away about a third of his income every year, well above the 5 percent that rich Americans typically gave back then. He also put about $14 million into building the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, which is still one of the city's largest today. The Ford Foundation, set up in 1936, was originally a way to avoid taxes and keep his family in control of the company. The foundation got huge later, but only because Ford Motor Company stock kept rising. Even his charity money came from the business. Ford's personal giving helped a few thousand patients at his hospital. The $5 day, the cheap Model T, and the weekend reached hundreds of millions of working families over the next hundred years. Almost everything that became normal "middle class life" in America, a steady paycheck, the weekend off, a car in the driveway, came from choices Ford made to win in business. Bezos has a point. Ford's wages, his car, and his weekend did more for the average American family than every check Ford himself wrote to charity.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

Facts It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.

So, if the government captures the terrorist who beheaded our teacher in Oyo, they will feed him, clothe him, give him the Quran, reintegrate him back into society and call him repentant terrorist. It shall never be well with APC walahi. Cursed be the party forever.
