Ever since Peter Obi left ADC, opposition are no longer calling on Amupitan to resign again, before that was the motion when they were still united, the recent interview session Peter Obi had with Rufai Oseni was more amplified by Atiku supporters, when opposition are disunited their supporters end up picking at themselves rather than the failed incumbent 2027 Presidential election to me is won and lost already unless there’s a late hour unity which is looking unlikely As long as opposition figures can’t unite then Bola Tinubu will be re elected come 2027 Facts are stubborn

Today, we will officially unveil the new Ogun State Drug Management Agency Warehouse, a major milestone in our administration’s commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery and enhancing pharmaceutical supply chain management across Ogun State. This modern facility, which features over a thousand square metres of storage capacity and a fully integrated cold room, represents a significant improvement on the previous arrangement where storage and cold-chain facilities operated from separate locations. By integrating these critical components within a single facility, we are improving operational efficiency, minimizing the risk of stockouts, and ensuring the consistent availability of quality and affordable medicines for the people of Ogun State. We express our profound appreciation to @GlobalFund for its invaluable partnership and support in making this project a reality. We also commend the Ogun State Ministry of Health and the Ogun State Drug Management Agency for their dedication and professionalism. As a government, we remain steadfast in our commitment to investing in critical healthcare infrastructure and innovative systems that will expand access to quality healthcare services and improve the wellbeing of all residents of Ogun State.

Some of you tagged Lagos state as “No Man’s Land.” You are now gaslighting by calling it “a cosmopolitan state.” From this, you seem to think you should coin the phrase “Lagos Igbo.” There is no established ethnic group called “Lagos Igbo.” You may have “Delta Igbo” (the Igbo speaking communities in Delta State), but “Lagos Igbo” (the Igbo speaking communities in Lagos) has never been a thing here, can never be a thing, will never be a thing. We will continue to correct this intuition. We only have Igbo residents in Lagos.
This is the venue for those asking. FHA Festac.

Concern is good, action is better. You have the platform… Open an IG live Open a TikTok Live Open a X Live And start. Lead the charge and lead the way. Those who are less passionate than you are doing it. Go and do yours and lets have the conversation and interrogate history. Cos me I want to know why Ojukwu bombed residences in Lagos 3 times and Hijacked a Nigeria Airways plane.
Serious conversations need to be had about the civil war. Important conversations like these can’t be ignored. Young people of today have little to no knowledge of what happened then. It’s really sad.

There’s nothing like Igbo-Lagos. Lagos is a Yoruba land. The Igbos living in Lagos will hangout this Sunday. Ps: I’m Igbo, and this is just the truth

Lol, I know you enjoy the rage baiting when it comes to Lagos. There’s nothing like Lagos Igbo, and there will never be. “ The hangout for igbos living in Lagos takes place this Sunday” How does “The Anambra Yoruba hangout takes place this Sunday” sound?
The Lagos Igbo hang out takes place this Sunday.

The launch of Nigeria’s Digital Switch Over (DSO) earlier today marks the actualisation of a longstanding dream to transition our broadcasting from analogue to digital. It represents an important milestone in our broader digital transformation agenda and another demonstration of H.E. President @officialABAT, GCFR’s commitment to investing in the foundational infrastructure that unlocks growth and prosperity for decades to come. The DSO represents a major advancement for broadcasting whose significance extends far beyond television. By leveraging NigComSat’s satellite infrastructure, Nigerians can benefit from clearer access to information, broader educational and cultural content, improved quality of service, and greater inclusion, ensuring that no one is left behind simply because of where they live. The Digital Switch Over is one of the first visible benefits of a much larger national digital infrastructure strategy. Under this administration, Nigeria is embarking on the deployment of 90,000 kilometres of open-access fibre infrastructure through Project BRIDGE, connecting communities, businesses, institutions, and public services across the country. At the same time, Mr President has approved investments in two additional satellites that will further strengthen our capacity in communications and digital services. Together, these investments will create a truly transformative digital backbone capable of reaching every Nigerian, regardless of geography. As our digital infrastructure expands, it creates unprecedented opportunities for broadcasters, content creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators to reach audiences across West Africa and beyond. Infrastructure does not merely move signals; it amplifies culture, ideas, and influence as we move closer to a more connected, more inclusive, and more prosperous Nigeria. #NigerianExcellence

Nobody is asking him for details. To add 10,000MW he would need $30bn in investment over 4 years, in a highly illiquid sector, with $4bn legacy debt, 26% collection loss, 5.1m metering gap, tariff shortfall and gas shortages. This is outside the messed up transmission that can barely wheel 6,000MW. How will he raise the money and what will he do with power tariffs and gas prices?
When Peter Obi says he wants to add 10,000MW to Nigeria’s electricity supply, they expect him to explain the location of every power plant, the serial number of every transformer, the route of every transmission line, the name of every engineer, and the registration number of every truck that will deliver the equipments. That seems to be their definition of “how.” 😂 olodo.

Discussions are still ongoing. 24 hours is a long time in politics. We are calling on those in the ADC to join us in the NDC to rescue Nigeria.

Thank you, Theo, for your response in your capacity as Director of Communication for the @NigeriaNDCHQ. Now, let me take you to school. Firstly, your response actually proves the very points I made. You spent several paragraphs telling Nigerians that Peter Obi has a plan, but not a single paragraph explaining what that plan actually is. Instead, you asked Nigerians to wait until INEC opens the campaign window before they can hear the details. That is a remarkable position to take for a candidate who has been campaigning on the promise of “consumption to production” for years. If after all this time the plan is still “coming soon,” then preparedness is being treated as a future event rather than a present reality. You also attempted to rewrite history. Advocating opposition cooperation was never the same thing as certifying Peter Obi’s capacity to govern Nigeria. Political alliances are electoral calculations; they are not performance reviews. The fact that some people once considered him a potentially useful coalition partner does not exempt him from scrutiny when he seeks the highest office in the land. More importantly, you claim that no one can credibly argue he failed to articulate his plans during the interview. Yet when asked repeatedly about power, security, economic recovery, and implementation, his consistent response was “trust me bro”. Nigerians already know what a better Nigeria looks like. What they are demanding is a detailed explanation of how to get there. And Peter Obi, in that interview, failed at telling Nigerians how to get there. The strongest indictment of your response is that you did not refute a single substantive criticism that I raised about the interview. You simply assured Nigerians that answers exist somewhere but in the future😂.
Eta, when your camp desperately pushed for him to become the Vice Presidential candidate in the now-defunct coalition, I do not recall you expressing this same view. Before some irritants rush in to claim that “you too wanted him as Vice in 2023,” let me clarify: my position at the time was simple. I advised opposition parties to set aside differences, forge a united front, and defeat the APC. That was strategic counsel for the greater good of the opposition. That said, Eta, Peter Obi’s vision for a New Nigeria is fully aligned with the NDC’s agenda for the country. His plans are firmly rooted in true federalism, restructuring, and resource control, core pillars that will drive sustainable development and equity across Nigeria. No one can credibly claim that he failed to articulate these plans in that interview but I understand. After all, it is difficult to wake a man who is only pretending to be asleep. The NDC, which you just referenced, has a clear and comprehensive plan for Nigeria. We are committed to doing things differently from the failed approaches of the past. In close collaboration with our Presidential candidate, we are finalising a robust agenda that addresses the nation’s most pressing challenges. We can confidently assure our supporters that the NDC is the credible alternative platform to actualise our collective aspirations for a better Nigeria. Our Presidential candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi, is battle-ready to lead this change. INEC is yet to open the campaign window. When the Commission does so, we will roll out our detailed plans. We are convinced these plans will resonate powerfully with millions of Nigerians who are tired of the status quo and genuinely yearning for purposeful leadership and meaningful change.

This is why you need journalists who are actually grounded to push back when politicians speak like this. How will you convince people whose parents, siblings and children have been slaughtered to accept back into communities those who have committed those murders, rapes and kidnappings? What will that reconciliation look like? What justice will you offer the families of those killed and assaulted? Beyond telling those who have committed serial murders to just go and sin no more, what will this negotiation involve? How will you prevent recidivism and exploitation of any such amnesty by bad actors who simply want to get the heat off their backs while they restrategise?
Q: Will you negotiate with bandits? Peter Obi: In uniting the country, anybody who wants peace I will talk with him, I will negotiate with him. Anybody who wants war, we will go to war.

The first official secession attempt in Nigeria was declared by Niger Delta activist Isaac Adaka Boro on February 23, 1966. He declared the Niger Delta Republic after leading the Niger Delta Volunteer Force in a brief rebellion. His attempt to leave Nigeria lasted just 12 days before the Nigerian federal military government defeated his militia and arrested him and his followers for treason. Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was the head of state at the time. Lieutenant Colonel Ojukwu was the Military Governor of the Eastern Region (which then included the Niger Delta). When Boro declared secession, Ojukwu declared the movement illegal and collaborated with the federal military forces to suppress the rebellion and arrest and terminate Boro's group for treason.
One region tried to and they were genocided by Nigeria and the West. Please be fr
