My father never came to a single thing I invited him to. Not my primary school graduation. Not my secondary school prize giving where I collected 3 awards and kept looking at the gate. Not my university matriculation. Not the ceremony when I got called to bar in 2012. I'd send him the date weeks in advance and he'd say I'll try and that was always the full sentence. I'll try. No follow up. No explanation after. My mother would sit in his place and clap loud enough for 2 people. I stopped inviting him after the bar call. Not from anger. Some people love you completely and still cannot show up and after a while you stop making them feel guilty about it. He was not a bad man. I want to be clear about that. He was a mechanic in Mushin for 35 years. Worked 6 days a week. Sent every one of us to school. Never raised his hand. Never left. The lights stayed on and the rent was paid and there was always food and he did all of it quietly without asking to be celebrated. He just could not sit in a plastic chair and watch something. I accepted that and moved on. Last year I bought my first property. A flat in Ojodu. Took 9 years of saving and 2 years of paperwork and a lawyer who nearly finished me. When the keys finally came I sat in the empty flat on the floor for an hour just breathing. I called my mother first. She screamed. My sister cried. I didn't call my father. 3 days later he called me. Said he heard about the flat from my mother. Said he wanted to come and see it. I didn't know what to do with that so I just said okay. Gave him the address. Figured he'd say I'll try and we'd never speak of it again. He showed up on Saturday at 9am. Stood at the door in his good agbada. The one he only wears for serious things. Holding a small nylon bag. I let him in and he walked through every room without speaking. Not quickly. Slowly. Like he was counting something. He checked the pipes under the kitchen sink. Knocked on the walls. Opened and closed the windows twice each. Looked at the ceiling in every room the way only a man who has fixed things his whole life looks at ceilings. Then he came and stood in the sitting room and looked at me. Said the pipework is good. Said the windows seal properly. Said whoever built this knew what they were doing. I nodded. Long silence. Then he opened the nylon bag. Inside was a small framed photo. Me at maybe 7 years old sitting on the bonnet of an old car in his workshop. Grinning. Both legs swinging. He's standing beside me with his hand on my shoulder looking at something outside the frame. I remember that day. I had gone to the workshop after school and he let me sit there while he worked and gave me a Fanta and put a Michael Jackson cassette on the small radio. I didn't know anyone had taken a photo. He said he kept it on his workshop table for 22 years. Said he wanted me to have something for the new place. I held that frame and stood very still. He said he knew he missed things. Said he was not good at the sitting and watching. That crowds made something in him go wrong in a way he never knew how to explain. Then he said the flat was good and he was proud and he asked if there was anything in the kitchen because he hadn't eaten. I laughed. Made him eggs and bread while he sat at my kitchen table in his good agbada like he owned the place. We ate and he told me about a car he was working on. I told him about a case that was giving me trouble. Normal conversation. The kind we should have been having for years. He left at 1pm. At the door he gripped my shoulder the same way he did in that photo. Didn't say anything. Didn't need to. The photo is on my sitting room wall now. First thing I hung in the whole flat. Some fathers cannot sit in the plastic chair. But mine drove to Ojodu in his good agbada on a Saturday morning with a 22 year old photograph in a nylon bag. That was his standing ovation. I just didn't know to look for it in that shape.

Two people died. People.

Give the people you love grace.

Do we need to organize protests in every state capital to get the message to Akpabio and co, that we are serious about electoral reform? Please let me know what you think, what state you are resident in, and if you are willing to participate? Thank you..

We will vote Peter Obi as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2027. What about you?

03/01/2026 *Obidient Movement Press Statement* *THE PETER OBI PRESIDENCY: A JOINT PROJECT OF ALL NIGERIANS* Our attention has been drawn to deliberate misrepresentations and malicious propaganda arising from a recent interview granted by Dr Tanko Yunusa, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement. These distortions necessitate a clear and authoritative restatement of our position. The Obidient Movement is an organic, nationwide, and values-driven democratic movement committed to good governance, accountability, and the rule of law. Our singular purpose is the emergence of the right leadership for Nigeria through lawful and democratic means. Accordingly, and without equivocation, the ideals, energy, and collective resolve of the Obidient Movement are unequivocally committed to the presidential aspiration of Mr Peter Obi. The Movement can join  any political party of it's choice that aligned with the person, principles, and leadership vision of Mr Peter Obi. Our support for Mr Peter Obi is informed by our firm conviction that, among all frontline contenders for the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he stands out in competence, integrity, compassion, vision, discipline, economic expertise, democratic credentials, international credibility, and a consistent record of prudent leadership. We are equally convinced that this conviction is shared by a clear majority of Nigerians across all geo-political zones, generations, and political persuasions. Let it be stated clearly and without ambiguity: The Obidient Movement is not mobilised to support Mr Peter Obi as a vice-presidential candidate to anyone. Our support is exclusively for his emergence as President of Nigeria. At present, we are supporting him within the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the contest for its presidential candidacy. Should the process be transparent, credible, and fair, the Obidient Movement will abide by its outcome. However, should the process be compromised, the Movement will take a united, lawful, and democratic decision consistent with its core principles. Crucially, wherever Mr Peter Obi, acting within the law and guided by conscience, chooses to pursue his presidential mandate, the Obidient Movement will move with him. Our loyalty is to his leadership vision and to Nigeria’s national redemption—not to political convenience or compromised platforms. While remaining steadfastly committed to peaceful, democratic strategies, the Obidient Movement will never compromise its principles or its demand for credible leadership for the sake of expediency. This Movement has endured sacrifice, resistance, and misrepresentation because of a sincere and selfless belief in a better Nigeria. We will not be distracted, intimidated, or manipulated by misinformation, media mercenaries, or partisan hatchet jobs. Our commitment to the realization of a Peter Obi Presidency remains unshakable. We are convinced it represents the surest path to national renewal, economic recovery, and accountable governance. As we approach a defining moment in our national journey, we call on all Nigerians to remain resolute, united, and focused. Together, we can secure the good leadership our country urgently requires. A New Nigeria is Possible. Signed The Obidient Movement

Some things never change in Africa; it’s called cultural continuity. As it was in Ancient Egypt (Kemet), so it is around Africa today.
