Reminder: Tinubu did not win the last election despite it being a three-horse race; he rigged his way to winning. So our focus should be on knowing how to stop the rigging.

State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation. During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology: Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved. The list of the entourage included 1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States 2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State 3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence 4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX 5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia 6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple 7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock 8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone 9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing 10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill 11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup 12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric 13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs 14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology 15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm 16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta 17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa 18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard 19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent 20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity. I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom. A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home? Which factories are coming to Nigeria? What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured? How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths? What investments were attracted? What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to? The delegation reportedly included: 1. President Bola Tinubu 2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu 3.12 governors 4.9 ministers 5.7 members of the National Assembly 6. Over 20 senior State House staff 7. Over 30 security personnel 8. Over 10 domestic staff 9. Several supporters and associates It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens. Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty. At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities. Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Lol, why would I delete it? Back in 2020, because of the exceptional performance of Seyi Makinde during his first term, I said he had the qualities to be President. Fast forward to 2023, while he was contesting for reelection as governor, Peter Obi came on the scene and, based on his track record, I volunteered to be his campaign photographer pro bono because I genuinely believed he was fit for the job. I didn’t stop at taking pictures. I went back to my polling unit on election Day, voted, bought snacks, and encouraged people to stay until every single vote was counted. Peter Obi won there too. For context, that polling unit is close to the PDP national secretariat in AkwaIbom, and Udom Emmanuel was the PDP campaign DG. In 2025, I returned and continued my work as his photographer. So why exactly should I be ashamed that I saw visionary leadership in 2020 and wanted it at the national level? Unlike some political jobbers who once praised Peter Obi and later switched up, I’ve never changed my stance on Seyi Makinde. I’ve never insulted or disrespected him. I’m not just a supporter of Peter Obi, I work for and with him. He has the capacity to lead this country, and Seyi Makinde does too, based on proven track records. At the end of the day, it’s better for productive and competent people to contest elections than to leave leadership in the hands of drug dealers, certificate forgers, and people with no traceable background. I want a Nigeria that works and I’m happy the race is competitive, unlike the coronation some people were hoping to have.

NEW: Mark Carney's Bill C-22 allows for the remote activation of microphones on phones, laptops, smart speakers, etc for surveillance purposes.

It took me 5 months and about 25 interviews to land my first job in Canada 🇨🇦 But there is one I will never forget. I applied for a Canadian government role. French was listed as a requirement. I applied anyway. Got through the first stage. No French was tested. Second and final stage. I joined the call. Bonjour bonjour. (As how?) I thought that was just the greeting. The interviewer then calmly informed me that the entire interview would be conducted in French. I could feel my intestines shift. I said okay. A certified Duolingo dropout sitting in silence. The first question came. 45 seconds of full Québécois French. I waited for them to finish. Then I slowly asked if they could repeat the question in English. They did. Politely. I answered. Then they asked if I had any questions for them. That was it. Interview over. I never got a rejection email. Not one. They were too pissed to even send it 😭 What is your craziest job interview moment in diaspora or back home?

“Qualification is a perspective; it depends on where you're coming from. Rabiu Kwankwaso said he's more qualified because he has a PhD; I don't have a PhD. Today, in the country, I would say he has some experience. He's been exposed; there's no doubt about that. I don't think his claim was wrong, but for what Nigeria needs today, Nigeria needs a wealth creator; it needs a wealth manager. I have built businesses from scratch into reputable businesses locally and internationally. In this context, nobody today, including the president, can claim to have passed through my experience.” — Peter Obi

Governor Seyi Makinde is the most qualified candidate from the southwest as it stands. And if you don't vote for him as a Yoruba person then you're omo ale.

Just last week, you people said it’s who provides that’s allowed to cheat. Please don’t change mouth o.

"Fucking delicious" is a stretch

idk how to stress this well enough but a truckload of people i come across do not have their PERM. VOTERS CARD and they all have one common excuse - “what difference would it make if i go ahead and get it?” A lottt of people aren’t even trying to vote and I’m puzzled because how will you change things if you are not participating in the process and actively enforcing it???? PVC registration has re-opened and i beg you to start your registration and actually see it through. start here. 🔗 - cvr.inecnigeria.org

@SimisolaTomori @Wakaholic_nurse Please do you know how to ship from UK to Canada

@Wakaholic_nurse Use express to ship your goods

Pleaseeeeee, who’s coming to the UK from Nigeria? Pleaseeeee🥹

Men just want to cheat without consequences. This is not the era of your mothers. Cheat and Ugo see shege

Lol, please, let's stop playing into these people's mind games. There was massive voter suppression in the southeast in 2023. It wasn't voter apathy at all... in fact, very, very far from that. Voting had been concluded in Tinubu's strongholds in the southwest before voting materials arrived at many wards in the southeast. Places in the North, Voting began as early as 7am, while in 70% of the southeast, voting was starting between 12-3pm. In addition to that, BVAS machines were malfunctioning all over the southeast. These are the things we need to figure out a way to combat in 2027.

Nobody talked me into supporting Obi. I discovered him by myself. By researching him for a job I was paid to do in 2019. I was amazed. I was eventually removed from the PDP group because I "was making the VP to overshadow The President."

Mr Peter Obi today in Abakaliki Ebonyi State. The atmosphere was electric as the people came out in massive numbers to welcome Mr Peter Obi . The love, support, & overwhelming reception were truly unforgettable. From every corner, voices echoed hope, unity, & a New Nigeria.

@Timmysofine Oliverer

You have 2 children, a girl named Olive, a boy named Oliver. You find out a third child is on the way, what do you name the third child?

He did this without cutting any social services, btw.
