“We need to have free, fair, and credible elections that will allow us to elect competent leadership, with capacity, compassion and commitment that are required in the government”
- Peter Obi, during an interview with Frank Gaffney and Dede Laugesen on Securing America on Real America's Voice.

@PeterObi Imagining, how the spirit world go be if Obi dies and you bought golden casket for his burial.

I shall dedicate the end of the month to visiting one school or hospital as my modest way of commemorating my birthday. At each institution, I hope to make a modest contribution towards its work, however little, as a practical expression of my gratitude to God. Rather than a celebration centred on me, I desire a celebration that places humanity at the centre.
My prayer is that God will continue to give me the strength, wisdom, and humility to serve. At 65, I am more convinced than ever that the true measure of a life is not the wealth accumulated or the honours received, but the positive difference made in the lives of others.
May God continue to bless Nigeria and guide us towards becoming a united, inclusive and compassionate nation, where we love one another and work together to build the country we are capable of becoming. -PO

Reflections on My 65th Birthday
Today, July 19, 2026, marks my 65th birthday. At sixty-five, birthdays should naturally become moments of deep reflection - moments to look back with gratitude to Almighty God for His abundant graces, examine the journey so far, and ask how the remaining years can be devoted more meaningfully to the service of God and humanity.
Perhaps in countries where basic human needs have largely been met, where institutions function effectively, and where citizens enjoy a greater measure of security and dignity, such attainments may rightly call for elaborate celebrations. In Nigeria, however, our reality compels a different kind of reflection.
Our nation is blessed with enormous human and natural resources, yet millions of our people continue to struggle with challenges that demand our collective attention. We cannot afford to celebrate ourselves excessively while many around us are burdened by poverty, ill health, unemployment, and limited opportunities. Rather, occasions such as this should remind us of our responsibility to contribute towards building a nation where future generations can genuinely celebrate.
This is why I have always seen birthdays not merely as occasions for personal celebration, but as opportunities for sober reflection, thanksgiving, and a renewed commitment to service.
As I reflected today, I came to a simple conclusion: the greatest celebration of life is not what we receive from others, but the lives we can touch positively.
This conviction has guided my approach throughout my years in business, in the corporate world, and as Governor of Anambra State. In each of these roles, I have tried to see every privilege not as a personal entitlement but as an opportunity to improve the lives of others.
Whenever people or institutions sought to celebrate me with expensive gifts or elaborate ceremonies, I encouraged them instead to redirect those resources towards projects that would have a lasting impact. Over the years, this philosophy has resulted in the building of schools, hostel blocks, support to schools, and other facilities that continue to benefit the less privileged. I have always believed that resources meant for personal comfort can often be transformed into instruments of hope for many.
The greatest honour anyone can receive is not found in gifts, ceremonies, or public admiration, but in knowing that one’s life has contributed, however modestly, to making another person’s life better.
Today, therefore, I give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of life and for bringing me to this important milestone of 65 years. I began the day with a Mass of Thanksgiving in Onitsha, thanking God for His grace, protection, guidance, and the countless blessings He has bestowed upon me over the years.
After the Mass, I proceeded to St. Raphael’s Hospital, Umueri, a small rural hospital in Anambra East Local Government Area. In furtherance of my belief that birthdays should be occasions for service rather than self-indulgence, I donated the sum of ₦10 million to support the hospital’s work of providing quality healthcare to the people.
As I was conducted around the hospital and saw patients in their moments of vulnerability, I was reminded again of our shared humanity. Some of those receiving care may not even have the financial means to settle their hospital bills, yet they deserve compassion, dignity, and access to quality healthcare. Their condition was a reminder that leadership, in its truest form, is about caring for people, especially those who cannot repay our kindness.
Hospitals and schools remain two of the greatest investments any society can make. A hospital preserves life; a school shapes the future. Supporting both is, therefore, not just an act of charity - it is an investment in humanity and in the future of our nation.

@YaKikhe @james_harmless @winexviv You saw “The T.N. Onodingene Family of Abor, Udi LGA, Enugu State” and you’re still asking if the family is Igbo? No, they’re not Igbo. They’re Yariba
Hope you’re happy now?

English

Today, the T.N. Onodingene Family of Abor, Udi LGA, Enugu State, made this facility available for free to serve as one of the 2027 South East Mathematics Olympiad Preparatory Centre and also one of the official examination venues.
The facility features a 60-computer CBT centre, 24/7 internet access, a physical library, an 80-seat conference hall, and three dedicated workstations.
Students from any part of the country are welcome to use the facility free of charge.
This is the kind of investment in education that transforms lives and creates opportunities for generations to come.
We hope to see more families, individuals, organizations, and communities make similar contributions across the South East and beyond.
Please join us in appreciating the T.N. Onodingene Family for this remarkable act of generosity and their unwavering commitment to advancing education and empowering the next generation.

@okaf48914 @winexviv There's no sense in what you just said. The people of Ebonyi are waking up to the reality that no education no success.
English

@winexviv Enugu , anambra,imo ,abia state can do it but u see this ebonyi state I doubt because there recent leaders don't value education and secondly poverty still very high in ebonyi state that alone will hinder it.

I've been thinking about this almost every day.
What would it actually take to ensure every single child in the South East is in school?
I don't mean reducing the number of out-of-school children.
I mean ZERO.
I'm setting myself a target:
Zero out-of-school children in the South East within the next 24 months.
And within 4 years, I want us to drive illiteracy as close to zero as possible.
I know it sounds ambitious.
There are children out of school because of poverty. Some because of culture. Some because of religion. Some because they have to work. Others because there are barriers we've not even identified yet.
But I genuinely believe this is a problem we can solve if we stop treating it as someone else's responsibility.
So I'm asking for your help.
If you had to achieve this, what would you do?
I want practical ideas. Bold ideas. Crazy ideas. Lessons from other countries. Community-based solutions. Technology. Policy. Anything.
I'll read every suggestion.
If we can solve this in the South East, we'll create a blueprint that the rest of Nigeria and maybe even Africa can learn from.

@james_harmless @latino_iyke @trigottista Exactly the point the guy is making. Shey na the same God first give Moses the idea say he go fit hit the rock water go come out.
English

@latino_iyke @trigottista Let me explain what happened there to you. God is the rock of ages. Christ is the word of God that became flesh. Now the rock wasn't an ordinary rock, it was God lying there to give his children water. Moses angrily hit God. Like Moses beat God. Anger.
English

@trigottista Since the day I read the passage where him vex for Moses because of that flogging of the stone, ordinary stone ooo. I stopped arguing anything about God.
Guy, na small things dey vex God makachi!!!

Nigerian children are performing wonders abroad. They are smashing Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics & English. They are breaking the glass ceiling at the STEM Olympiad. But Remi Tinubu has refused to congratulate them. She is busy promoting pepper, vegetable, akara, agbado, & kulikuli at campaign events.

@AmaechiLov54633 @winexviv Yeah, children of renewed hopelessness. 😂🤣😂

We captured this beautiful moment of Chimdiebube Onwubiko arriving in Enugu yesterday to a hero's welcome.
He won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome.
I love seeing education reclaim its rightful place in our society.
This is just the beginning of something great.

@General_Somto If we want to know who took the children, we need to find who sent the thugs.
