"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC." Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian. As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading. Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain. I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party. As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer. Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion. Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope. I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation. I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right. A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO

Obi and Dickson had a meeting last year. Dickson went ahead and formed the NDC. Obi knew Tinubu would try to shatter the ADC coalition, so he moved ahead of time. El-Rufai said last December that the ADC coalition was just a temporary solution. These men are several steps ahead of Tinubu this time. Now both Obi and Kwankwaso have defected to the NDC. El-Rufai will join them next week. Atiku and Tinubu didn’t see it coming.

You see, no one trusts a guy who keeps jumping from one girl to another. Three days ago it was Linda, yesterday it was Amaka, and today it’s Ngozi. And your excuse is that you left them because other guys were showing interest? Really? No woman will ever take you seriously if you can’t stand your ground. Happy Sunday to those who get the message
Peter Obi@PeterObi

Fellow Nigerians, good morning. I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you. Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances. We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal. More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism. We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power. Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise. Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them. However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building. Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated. And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions. There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline? Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from. Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

3 Observations. 1. He didn't give SUYA a western name. Suya is Suya just as Pizza does not have an African name. Pizza is Pizza. 2. He honoured the origin. He didn't dilute the source by vaguely calling it "a Nigerian delicacy." He said Northern Nigeria. He didn't add a letter to make it sound Yoruba - 'Sunya'. It is Suya. 3. Clearly, he is Yoruba. We do not claim what is not ours. Not food. Not fashion. Not culture. We are complete all by ourselves. BE LIKE OLANIYI

He credited Northern Nigeria. He didn’t say it represents the whole country. He didn’t erase its origin, and he didn’t give suya a Yorùbá name. Be like Oláníyí, an ọmọlúàbí.

The reason young players are compared to established footballers like Dominik Szoboszlai is simply to give a clearer sense of their style and attributes. For those unfamiliar with the youngster, it helps them visualize the player by relating him to someone they already know. It’s not a statement of inferiority, just a way to make the comparison more relatable and easier to understand.

🇳🇬 I think I’ve found the ‘Nigerian Szoboszlai.’ Meet 17-year-old Hanif Sanusi. - 23 games - 14 goals - 10 assists A midfielder who predominantly plays as a ten or as an LAM or RAM. But in my opinion he could also play as a no.8 and even as a false nine. He’s a player with an incredible right foot capable of scoring very impressive goals from long-range and set-pieces. His corner deliveries are also very good. What’s even more impressive is that he’s left foot is quite decent as well. He’s scored a fair few goals with his weaker foot - which makes him unpredictable. He’s more than just a player with very high level shooting and deliveries though. He’s a work-horse. Watch a game you will see him covering so much ground and popping up everywhere. He works tirelessly and presses really well, winning a lot of balls high up the field. His movement to find himself in those half spaces when his team are in possession is excellent. He’s comfortable receiving with his back to goal and has a strong body and balance to hold off defenders. On the ball, he will at times slot back to a deeper role to help in the build-up and look to go long, he likes to make switches and diagonal passes and often finds his teammates. But he’s best in the opposition’s half where he will look to take on opponents in tight spaces and penetrate defensive lines with an excellent pass into the opposition’s final third or penalty area. To summarise, he’s a huge goal threat, a good creator, has intelligent movement and works tremendously hard. Remember the name 💎

That’s how right-thinking individual should be but you people can only think in one direction on this app and do bandwagon shit One can be in support of the government and also call them out when they’re in the wrong or when one has a different opinion
Ọba@olasxni

Osi is a funny guy. Supports the government for making terrible choices on one hand then complain about the consequences of those choices on the other hand. Abeg now.
