  • A Senator For Show: Wadada’s Hollow Spectacle In Lafia Reveals A Void In Representation

    By Joshua Emmanuel Ekpo
    ***
    In recent times, we have witnessed members of the National Assembly who truly understand their responsibilities implementing elaborate empowerment schemes for the people they represent. Very recently, the media space was abuzz with news of Senator Natasha Akpoti (PDP, Kogi Central), who, despite being under suspension, empowered 250 individuals and institutions with drones, laptops, welding machines, and other technical tools. That is the kind of representation that matters. That is exactly what the good people of Nasarawa West sent Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada to the National Assembly to do, beyond merely sponsoring bills and participating in legislative processes.

    Had those who gathered in Lafia for what seemed like a dead-on-arrival turbaning ceremony instead convened for a meaningful empowerment initiative, the funds currently being spent on media publicity to amplify that event would not have been necessary. One cannot help but question why Senator Wadada continues to misplace his priorities, often leaning into political gimmickry and public theatrics.

    If he had invested the same energy and resources into empowering his constituents, it would have been a more strategic move toward advancing his gubernatorial ambitions. For instance, the largest healthcare facility in Nasarawa West continues to suffer from a lack of basic hospital beds and other essential equipment. Imagine the impact if the funds lavished and squandered on the turbaning event had been redirected toward healthcare. In truth, a good product needs no advertisement. With the label of a “Social Media Senator” and an inability to guard his utterances, it becomes clear that Senator Wadada is, in fact, a bad product.

    Nonetheless, I encourage Senator Wadada to continue underestimating the very people he claims to represent and to keep frolicking with other zones, particularly the Lafia Zone, believing he has Nasarawa West on lockdown. One thing is certain though, the people of Lafia zone are unlikely to abandon their own for someone whose ties to Nasarawa State are frequently questioned.

    Let him also continue distributing cars and doling out cash to support groups while parading himself noisily. The more he does, the more the people will see through the façade and recognize him for who he truly is, someone lacking in substance and unable to deliver meaningful dividends of democracy beyond hollow publicity.

    Now more than ever, Nasarawa State needs a leader in 2027 who is genuinely committed to human capital development, industrialization, healthcare, agriculture, renewable energy, and youth empowerment. These are the true benchmarks of “capacity”. The kind of “capacity” showcased in Lafia, however, is nothing more than an illusion, best classified as a nonentity.

  • DAY34 NIG2USA ON BICYCLE 🇺🇲
    STILL HEADING TOWARDS ABIDJAN 🇨🇮
    Today, like yesterday, I passed another vast stretch of land, this time covered with palm trees, planted, growing, thriving.

    I haven’t even reached the major cities yet, but these rural areas already say so much about this country. They’re not abandoned, they’re not wasted, they’re working. Growing. Producing.

    Since I began this journey, I’ve ridden through Hundreds of kilometers, but I’ve never seen so much unused land put to good use like I’m seeing here in Côte d’Ivoire. And I can’t lie, I’m loving it. Charle, I'm super inspired

    And I’m also a bit heavy hearted, because I’m Nigerian, and where I come from, agriculture is our major source of livelihood too, but we have so much land wasting.

    So much potential left untouched.
    So many dreams buried in dry, empty fields.

    If only my people back home could see this
    If only we could borrow this mindset, to plant, to grow, to protect the land, and to believe again in what we already have.

    Africa is so beautiful.
    Not just in nature, but in possibility.
    This ride is showing me a side of our continent many don’t get to see, and I want the world to witness it with me.

    From palm trees to purpose, from soil to story.
    We are more than struggle, we're abundance.

    It's getting dark but we need to find a safer place to camp. Let’s keep going. 🇺🇲.

    My one term vow is sacrosanct .Peter Obi replies Gov Soludo after casting aspersions on him
    My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct





    One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.



    It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.



    I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.



    Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.



    I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.



    In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.



    My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.



    If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.



    I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.



    We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.



    Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:



    sanitise our governance system;

    tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;

    catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.



    Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.



    These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.



    A new Nigeria is POssible.

In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to: sanitise our governance system; tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation; catalyse small businesses as engines of growth; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve. Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors. These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years. A new Nigeria is POssible. -Peter Obi | August 03, 2025

  • Peter Obi Speaks :

    My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is SACROSANCT

    One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.

    It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.

    I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.

    Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.

    I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.

    In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.

    My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.

    If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.

    I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.

    We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.

  • “I was given food at the back door for ten years, not knowing that the girl they called ‘orphan’ would one day own the school.”

    My name is Amarachi.

    When I was six years old, I lost my parents to a fire. Our landlord said, “Your people are cursed. I can’t keep the daughter of a witch.” So, from Owerri to Port Harcourt, I lived under a bridge. I begged for food.

    One morning, I saw a group of students wearing green uniforms entering a school: Royal Kingsway Academy. Their food smelled like glory. So I waited by the back door. A woman—the kitchen cleaner—passed me a nylon bag of jollof rice.

    That became my routine. Every lunch hour, Mama Risi would sneak me leftovers—sometimes bones, sometimes breadcrumbs, but always with kindness.

    I sat on a rock behind the school wall, listening to lessons through the cracks. I memorized poems and answered math questions aloud. They called me “Radiohead.”

    One day, a teacher overheard me recite Shakespeare from the other side of the fence. He asked, “Who is she?” I ran away.

    The next day, he brought me books, a notebook, and a pencil. In a low voice, he said to Mama Risi, “Start letting her sit at the back of Classroom 3. No one has to find out.”

    So I started attending school unofficially—barefoot and invisible. After class, I swept the classrooms and mopped the hallways with Mama Risi. But I never missed a class. Not even when malaria tried to stop me.

    When I was seventeen, the director asked, “Who registered this girl? She’s not on our list.”

    Mama Risi lied, “She’s my niece.”

    They let me sit for the WAEC exam using their surname. I got eight straight A’s. No celebration. No pictures. Just me, under the handle, holding my result and crying.

    Years of silence followed, as I prepared my place in the world.

    A few missionaries gave me a scholarship to study business administration in the UK. I graduated with honors. I started a logistics company in Nigeria, then expanded into agriculture and education.

    Ten years later, my company bought a property in Port Harcourt.

    The address?

    Royal Kingsway Academy.

    The school was bankrupt—salaries unpaid, buildings in ruins. I said nothing during the negotiation. I just signed the check.

    The former principal greeted me at the door with a forced smile.

    “Madam CEO, welcome.”

    I looked at him and said, “I used to sit behind that wall… with jollof in a nylon bag.”

    His smile faded.

    We renovated every block, fixed every broken desk, raised teachers’ salaries, and invited the community to the reopening.

    When the fabric on the new sign fell, gasps filled the air:

    “Amarachi Risi Academy: Where Every Child Has a Seat.”

    Mama Risi was by my side, crying like a baby.

    I whispered, “They gave me bones. I made them a throne.”

    Today, hundreds of students—some orphaned, some abandoned—study for free at our school.

    No child eats alone.

    No child learns outside a fence.

    Because sometimes, the girl who was fed through a hole in the wall…

    Comes back to buy the whole building—

    and feed generations.

  • Dear Nigerians,
    Please do not joke with this warning. Read & share widely. This is not about politics. Tinubu's relentless foreign aid threatens to plunge Nigeria into its darkest era yet, a pit from which recovery may be impossible.
    GMOs will **** us all!!

    Around June 2024, the Federal Government of Nigeria quietly launched the TELA Maize Variety, a genetically modified organism (GMO) seed allegedly designed to boost maize production in the country, with little to no publicity.

    The TELA Maize was developed at the Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in collaboration with the African Agriculture Technology Foundation (AATF), which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

    GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms, are plants, animals, or microorganisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

    Scientists isolate specific genes from one organism and insert them into another to transfer desired traits.
    For example, scientists can insert genes from a bacterium that naturally produces insect-killing proteins into a crop plant. This modification helps the plant resist pests without requiring chemical insecticides.

    How will it affect Nigeria?

    GMOs are like seeds with superpowers; they can harm other living things, such as:

    - Bees, birds, and butterflies that interact with the plants
    - Animals like cows, horses, and goats that eat the plants
    - Nearby plants that grow alongside GMO crops

    The use of herbicide-resistant GMOs can trigger dangerous ecological changes in Nigeria. One major risk is the rise of herbicide-resistant weeds, which thrive despite chemical control. This disrupts balance in our ecosystem and build a chain reaction and that's just the beginning
    If bees are harmed, they can't help natural plants grow by spreading pollen. That means animals depending on those plants for food or shelter start to suffer. With their habitats shrinking, they migrate or die off. We could see huge wildlife extinction within a few decades.

    Health implications:

    Introducing genes from one food into another can trigger new allergens or unknown effects in the human body. The long-term health impact of GMO foods is still unclear. It’s like being used for experiments without your consent.
    Just like a fucking Lab rat

    GMOs have been linked to cancers, allergies, and other health issues partly due to their reliance on toxic pesticides. By harming biodiversity and reducing nutritional diversity, they pose serious risks to both human health and the environment.

    There has been growing speculation around GMOs in Africa, especially with figures like Bill Gates involved. Many see it as more than just control over Nigeria’s food system; it raises fears of long-term harm to public health and population through toxic, life-altering food.

    Let’s talk about the economic implications: What is a patent? A patent is the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention. In this context, it means Nigeria can only buy seeds from Bill Gates.

    From our laws too
    “Patents and Designs Act Cap 344,”

    GMO seeds are often patented, meaning a few foreign companies control the seed supply, forcing farmers to buy new seeds every season at higher costs. The result? Farmer dependency, and loss of control over Nigeria’s agriculture & food security to a foreigner, Be worried.

    Just like our oil was patented, so Nigeria must rely on a few foreign companies to refine it, and we’re seeing the same with our farmlands. GMO patents threaten our food security, leaving food production in the hands of outsiders. Same trap, different sector.

    GMO seeds are made to resist pests and herbicides. But once planted, they lead to super-strong weeds that won’t die even after spraying herbicides. These “superweeds” are a tough, lasting problem for farmers and the environment.

    They become herbicide-resistant weeds, plants that survive even after weedkiller sprays. When weeds face the same herbicide over and over, they adapt and build resistance, making them harder to control; they keep spreading, threatening crops and ecosystems.

    When herbicide-resistant weeds take over farmland, they kill any non-GMO crops planted. This forces Nigerian farmers or the Nigerian state to rely only on patented GMO seeds controlled by foreign companies like those linked to Bill Gates or risk losing their harvest and going hungry.

    Control over our food supply gives these companies huge power, potentially swaying government decisions just to keep access to GMO seeds. “He who controls a nation’s food chain controls the nation.” This could put Nigeria completely in their pocket.

    The biggest issue? Market transparency. GMO seed monopolies often hide or don’t label their products, so farmers can’t make informed choices. The Nigerian government already gave them the go-ahead to enter our market. This means many will end up unknowingly buying and planting GMOs
