Northerners Don’t Trust Peter Obi"? A Dangerous, Divisive Lie.

Former ACF Secretary General, Anthony Sani, recently claimed that Northerners do not trust Peter Obi enough to allow him to rule Nigeria, even for a single tenure. But we must ask: don’t trust him how?
Will he sell the North?
Will he dismantle Arewa?
Will he pack the North and auction it off?

This kind of narrative is not only misleading, it's deliberately dangerous. It plays directly into the hands of those who benefit from a divided Nigeria.

Let’s rewind.

Didn’t Buhari rule for 8 years?
What did he do?

Appointed an overwhelmingly northern and Fulani-dominated cabinet

Turned major security arms into ethnic extensions (NSA, Army, Police, Immigration, Customs – all headed by Northerners at one point)

Opened the borders for unchecked influx of Fulani herdsmen from Niger, Mali, Chad

Even built a rail line from Kano to Maradi in Niger Republic

Promoted grazing reserves and Ruga projects
Did Buhari not leave power? Was Nigeria handed to Fulani forever? NO. He came, he ruled, he left.

Now Tinubu has come and started what looks like a Yoruba state project:

FIRS – Zacch Adedeji

CBN – Yemi Cardoso

Customs – Bashir Adewale Adeniyi

Finance – Wale Edun

Interior – Tunji-Ojo

NSA – Nuhu Ribadu
He will also leave when his time is up.

So what is Obi going to do that will destroy the North?
Will he cancel mosques? Abolish Ramadan?
Let’s stop the fear-mongering.

Obi is not a dictator. He cannot override the Senate, House, Judiciary, or the system. This is just another old, tired excuse to block credible leadership.

It’s 2025. Nigeria has outgrown tribal propaganda.

Obi will come, serve his term, and go. Nobody is bigger than Nigeria.

TRIBUTE BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR, AT THE SPECIAL SESSION OF THE FEDERAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL HELD IN HONOUR OF THE LATE PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR
THURSDAY, JULY 17, 2025 STATE HOUSE, ABUJA

PROTOCOL

Today, we gather under a heavy shadow, drawn from the silence
that surrounds a departed leader and the immense weight of a
life whose absence will be felt for generations. We meet to
honour a man whose presence once commanded this very room,
whose voice once summoned the best in us, and whose
convictions never bowed, even to the strongest winds of public
opinion. President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, former Head of1
State and former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
has gone to rest.
He was first among soldiers in war, first among citizens in peace,
and first, without ambition or flattery, in the hearts of his fellow
citizens. Yet it was in the quiet and unadorned settings of his
private life that his true greatness was revealed: pious without
show, just without cruelty, humane without sentimentality,
temperate without coldness, and sincere without guile.
Steady in posture and spirit, dignified in bearing, and
commanding by his very presence, his example guided all who
encountered him. Still, it endures.
To his peers, he was respectful and without pretence. To those
who served under him, he was kind without condescension. And,
to those whom he loved most intimately, he was unfailingly
tender, loyal, and good. His life was a rebuke to vice and a refuge
for virtue. The purity of his private character gave radiance to the
discipline and integrity of his public service.
Even in death, he maintained the serenity that defined him in life:
not a sigh, not a groan, just a quiet submission to the will of God.
Such was the man Nigeria has lost. Such was the man for whom
our nation now mourns.
2
President Buhari’s life was one of austere honour. He stood,
always, ramrod straight; unmoved by the temptation of power,
unseduced by applause and unafraid of the loneliness that often
visits those who do what is right, rather than what is popular. His
was a quiet courage, a righteousness that never announced
itself. His patriotism was lived more in action than in words.
His life traced the arc of Nigeria’s journey. Born before
independence, he became a young soldier in the struggle to
keep our nation whole. In war and in peace, he served with
vigilance and determination, as if the task of watching over
Nigeria had been assigned to him alone. From the battlefield to
the corridors of power, he remained faithful to the task. He
governed the North-Eastern State and stood as Head of State.
Years later, he returned to chair the Petroleum Trust Fund, which
he administered with Spartan rigour and complete fidelity to the
public good.
Yet, with all that he had achieved, his most enduring legacy
would be carved in democracy. In a time when many had lost
hope that change was possible, Muhammadu Buhari put his faith
in the people of this country.
3
We stood together, he and I. Alongside others drawn from across
the political spectrum, regions and tongues, we formed an
alliance that enabled Nigeria to experience its first true
democratic transfer of power from one ruling party to another.
When he was sworn in as our party’s first elected President, he
led with restraint, governed with dignity, and bore the burdens of
leadership without complaint.
Those who knew him most intimately understood that the
authority of that exalted office never changed him. In the face of
pressure, he remained calm. In the face of crisis, he remained
resolute. In the face of triumph, he remained modest. Most
remarkably, he retained his jovial spirit.
When his tenure ended, he returned to Daura; not to command
from the shadows or to hold court, but to live as he always had,
never seeking to impose his will but content to let others carry
the nation forward.
President Buhari was not a perfect man – no leader is – but he
was, in every sense of the word, a good man, a decent man, an
honourable man. His record will be debated, as all legacies are,
but the character he brought to public life, the moral force he
carried, the incorruptible standard he represented, will not be
4
forgotten. His was a life lived in full service to Nigeria, and in
fidelity to God.
Now, he rests. And we who remain must carry the memory of his
life as a standard to guide us. Let us honour him not only with
words, but with humility in power, discipline in service,
compassion in governance, and fearlessness in the pursuit of
justice.
On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, a grateful nation bid farewell to one
of her most illustrious sons. It was a profound honour for me,
alongside Vice President Kashim Shettima, to lead his funeral
procession to Daura and witness his burial in the dignified
manner befitting a great and noble leader.
I thank the Inter-Ministerial Committee, led by the Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and
Governor Dikko Radda, for organising a befitting State Funeral
within 48 hours.
In this period of national mourning, I once again extend my
heartfelt condolences to Hajia Aisha Buhari, her children, the
entire Buhari family, the government and people of Katsina
State, and all who knew and loved him. Our gratitude will remain
with President Buhari's family members who provided him with
5
the comfort and strength to serve our nation in various capacities
throughout his over 50 years of public service. We honour his
service, reflect on his legacy, and pray for the peaceful repose
of his soul.
Mai Gaskiya, The People’s general, the Farmer President - your
duty is done.
May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him
Aljannah Firdaus. May his life continue to inspire generations of
Nigerians to serve with courage, conviction, and selflessness.
President Buhari, thank you. Nigeria will remember you.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President, Commander-in-Chief of The Armed Forces,
Federal Republic of Nigeria

*Akara and Pap was breakfast served every morning in a hostel of 100 people.*

*Out of the 100, 80 didn’t like it. They complained daily, saying they were tired and wanted something different.*
*But the remaining 20 were satisfied. They liked it just as it was.*

*To solve the issue, the warden introduced a simple rule: Every night, everyone would vote for what they wanted to eat the next morning. The meal with the highest number of votes would be served.*

*So every night, the 20 who loved Akara and Pap voted for it—with one voice.*
*But the 80 who didn’t like it were never united. Their votes went in different directions:*

18 *for Bread and Tea*

16 *for Yam and Egg Sauce*

14 *for Jollof Rice*

12 *for Spaghetti*

10 *for Indomie*

10 *for Moi Moi and Pap*

*Can u guess what the result was every single time?*
*Akara and Pap kept winning, Not because it was the best, but because the people who didn’t want it were too divided to agree on anything else.*

*In Nigeria, many are tired of the same old hardship, bad* *governance and recycled leadership.*
*We know who and what the real problems are.*
*But even those who want change are divided—along tribal lines, party names, personal interest, ego and ambition.*

*2027 might seem far away, but it's already around the corner. If we don’t learn from this story, we will wake up again to another bitter round of the same “meal” we’ve been served for ages.*

*The World Bank has already projected that poverty in Nigeria will keep rising until 2027.*
*That’s not just a statistic—it’s a warning.*
*And the sad truth is this: If we miss 2027, it'll only get worse.*

*This Is a Salient Message*
*THERE'S POWER IN UNITY, NOT JUST IN NUMBERS.*

*A United Minority Is More Formidable Than A Divided Majority.*

*Think About It.*

As long as the opposition believes the world will stand with Ukraine's democrat reformers, they will have the leverage and the courage to establish a legitimate republic under the leadership of Viktor Yushchenko

Through the inspiration of Vaclav's words, the courage of his dissidence and the integrity of his leadership, Czechoslovakia successfully transitioned from an authoritarian state to a free democracy at the heart of Europe

Well, I think that - I think leadership's always been about two main things: imagination and courage

*CHILD DISCIPLINE*

There is a big lie going around today.Some parents say, “I don’t want my child to suffer like I did.”They say it with pride.They think it sounds like love.But they don’t know they are slowly destroying that child.

Because of that mindset, they refuse to correct the child.They don’t give the child chores.They don’t say “No.”They don’t allow the child to face consequences.
They say, “Let him rest, he’s just a child.”They say, “Let her enjoy life, she’s still young.”But they are not helping that child.
They are damaging the child.

If your child cannot sweep the house, how will they keep their own home clean tomorrow?If your child cannot wash plate, how will they survive when they leave your house?If your child cannot say “Good morning” to elders, how will they work with people in the office?
If your child cannot accept correction, how will they handle marriage or leadership?

The world is tough.Life is not always sweet.You will not always get what you want.
There will be days of pain.
There will be days of rejection.There will be moments of “No.”

So if your child cannot hear “No” now, what will happen when life says “No” to them tomorrow?They will break.They will fall.They will run away.Some will even commit suicide because they were never taught how to handle pressure.

Discipline is not wickedness.Correction is not hate.Chores are not punishment.They are training.They are tools.
They are preparation for life.

Your child must know how to clean, how to greet, how to wait, how to apologize, how to handle anger, how to respect people, and how to do hard things without complaining.

Don't make your child soft in the name of love.
Don't make your child lazy in the name of protection.
Don't remove discipline and expect them to succeed.
Don't raise them like kings and queens with no wisdom.

One day, you will grow old.
You will need your child to stand strong.
But if you didn’t train them, they will fall.
And both of you will suffer for it.

So stop saying, “I don’t want my child to suffer like I did.”
Let your new statement be, “I want my child to be stronger than I was.”
And that strength must start with discipline.
It must start with training.
It must start with responsibility.
It must start with you.

SIR, LEADERSHIP COMES WITH CRITICISM

A MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO SMK

Dear Distinguished Leader,

Your passion, resilience, and commitment to Southern Kaduna and Nigeria as a whole are deeply appreciated. But as you continue to lead with vision and dedication, please be reminded that criticism is a natural part of Leadership not a sign of failure, but a sign of relevance.

Even our Lord Jesus Christ, who performed miracles and preached love, was not free from critics. Despite healing the sick and feeding the multitudes, some still shouted Crucify Him. If the perfect One faced rejection, we must understand that no matter how good a Leader tries to be, he can never satisfy everyone.

Do not be discouraged by harsh words or misunderstandings. Let every criticism, even the unfair ones, strengthen your resolve. True Leadership is tested by how one handles opposition. In fact, the absence of criticism might mean nothing meaningful is happening.

Sir, your ability to endure, reflect, and keep moving forward in the face of criticism will only make your legacy stronger. Keep working, keep believing, and keep leading not to please men, but to serve your purpose and make a lasting impact.

Critics may be loud, but your results will always speak louder.

Indeed, Africa is a Cemetery

We mourn — with the tired familiarity of history, the passing of President Muhammadu Buhari, former leader of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who, true to the legacy of many African heads of state, took his final breath not on African soil, but in a London hospital.

It is a story we know too well.

Once again, a man who presided over a nation with neglected hospitals, underpaid doctors, and decaying infrastructure sought refuge in the former colonial capital when illness struck. He could not trust the healthcare system he supervised for eight years — and who could blame him? Like his peers, he did not invest in it.

In life, Africa was never enough.
Not for his health — that was for London.
Not for his children’s education — that was for the UK.
Not for leisure — that was for Paris and Dubai.
Not for wealth — that was hidden in Zurich.
Not even for development — that was outsourced to foreign corporations.

And now, in death, the same land that was not good enough to live in has suddenly become good enough to be buried in. The Nigerian government has announced that President Buhari will be buried in Daura, Katsina State — a town still waiting for the dividends of the democracy he championed in speeches but neglected in practice.

This is the final irony of African leadership:
They steal from Africa,
live abroad,
treat abroad,
educate abroad,
vacation abroad,
but return home only in a coffin.

Indeed, what they refused to build in life — functional hospitals, quality schools, sustainable economies — they cannot escape in death. They are lowered into the earth of a continent they looted, watched over by the people they failed, guarded by institutions they weakened, and praised by sycophants they empowered.

President Buhari, like many before him, missed the opportunity to make Nigeria — and by extension, Africa — livable, dignified, and respected. Instead, he governed with detachment, ruled with distance, and left with his legacy contested and his promises largely unfulfilled.

In the end, he returns home — not to lead, not to fix, not to redeem — but to be buried.

Indeed, Nigeria, and Africa at large, is only good as a burial ground.
The continent that cannot keep her leaders alive now faithfully keeps their remains.

Indeed, Africa is a Cemetery.
