Okpebholo can't threaten aKwankwaso.o

He can't dareEl-Rufai.i

But he can trample Obi

Obi is fairgame.e

He isIgbo.o

Behind the scenes

In their closets

Igbo is bushmeat

Against them every weakling, every hustler

Shows his savagery

We had seenFr.r Alia threaten Obi

A man who has no guts to speak about the killer herdsmen and local militants groups ravaging his state

A literal sissy of a Reverend father

We have seen him turn a pugnacious area boy against Obi

Obi is an easy target because of his ethnicgroup.p

When an Igbo man is attacked or humiliated likethat,t

All Igbo are put in their rightplace.e

Don't think that the Olodo of Edo called Okpebholo is threatening Obi for personal politicaladvantage.e

He is threatening Obi to pleaseTinubu.

He must show loyalty by delivering the state at allcosts.s

And threatening Obi must be the sort of sport Tinubulikes.s

That is why all the garrulous men around him revel in it

Tinubu stayed aloof while the Igbo were chased away from polling units in Lagos on March2023.3

He thinks highly of McOluomo,Onanuga,a and recently

Very recently he enjoys RenoOmokri,i who stopped calling him a drug baron to concentrate his lunacy around Obi and theIgbo.o

Tinubu is definitely enjoying the threats being issued to Obi by his unscrupulousagents.s

But he should know that the chickens will come home to roost soon

When a president sows division

'Let's Give Igbo A Chance'— Obasanjo’s Shocking Massage Over Nigerian Presidency

In the quiet of his Abeokuta residence, former President Olusegun Obasanjo sat with a delegation of southern leaders from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), their voices mingling with the weight of a nation’s struggles. The air was heavy with purpose as Obasanjo, a elder statesman whose words still carry the resonance of decades in Nigeria’s political arena, delivered a sobering diagnosis: Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu, remains a nation in bondage, shackled by insecurity, economic turmoil, and the divisive grip of ethnic-based politics.

His voice, steady yet laced with urgency, painted a vivid picture of a country adrift. “We have had Fulani Nigerian presidents, Hausa Nigerian presidents, Yoruba Nigerian presidents,” Obasanjo said, pausing for emphasis, “but we have not yet experienced a genuine Nigerian president—one who represents everyone, not just their ethnic group.” The room fell silent, the gravity of his words settling over the visitors, who had come seeking counsel ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Obasanjo’s message was clear: Nigeria’s challenges—banditry ravaging communities, an economy teetering on the edge, and tribalism fueling division—persist because its leaders have too often prioritized personal gain over national unity. “Our problems will persist until we take action,” he warned, his tone a blend of frustration and resolve. He spoke of a nation not only failing its own people but also falling short of the world’s expectations, its potential stifled by a cycle of ineffective leadership.

The former president’s call to action was both a plea and a challenge. He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant, to stay engaged in the political process, and to hold fast to hope despite the hardships. “We cannot advance if we continue to cycle leadership based on ethnic divisions,” he said, his words cutting through the room like a clarion call. Nigeria, he insisted, needs a leader who transcends tribal loyalties, one who embodies the collective aspirations of its diverse people.

As the NNPP leaders listened, Obasanjo’s vision for a united Nigeria unfolded. He spoke of immediate measures to tackle insecurity and revitalize the economy, warning that without such steps, the nation would remain trapped in a pattern of stagnation. “The majority of political leaders today are not genuine nationalists,” he declared, accusing them of chasing power for personal gain rather than the nation’s welfare.

The meeting in Abeokuta was more than a political consultation; it was a moment of reckoning. Obasanjo’s words, delivered with the conviction of a man who has seen Nigeria through its triumphs and trials, left no doubt: the country stands at a crossroads. As the rain-soaked streets outside his home buzzed with the rhythm of daily life, his message lingered—a call for a collective spirit, genuine intentions, and a leader who can finally unshackle Nigeria from its burdens and lead it toward a future worthy of its promise.

We’ve Had Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba Presidents, But We’ve Yet To Have a True Nigerian President–Obasanjo | ABK News

On Friday, July 18, 2025, The Nation reported that former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo strongly criticised the current state of Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, describing the country as being in “bondage.” Speaking at his Abeokuta residence during a visit from southern leaders of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Obasanjo expressed grave concern over widespread insecurity, economic instability, and divisive ethnic politics, which he said were severely hindering national progress.

Obasanjo lamented that Nigeria is trapped in a cycle of poor leadership that has subjected its citizens to continued hardship without any real hope for transformative change. He said the current condition of the country is alarming and demands not only attention but also national prayer and vigilance. Despite the dire situation, he urged Nigerians to remain politically active, hopeful, and committed to national affairs.

He stressed the urgent need for decisive action to combat insecurity and revamp the struggling economy. Additionally, Obasanjo warned against the persistence of tribal politics, which he believes continues to fragment the nation and obstruct meaningful development. According to him, many political leaders are more concerned with personal gain than with genuine service to the country.

Obasanjo also stated that Nigeria has disappointed not only its citizens but the global community as well. He called for a shift from ethnically driven leadership to a truly nationalistic approach. “We have had Fulani Nigerian presidents, Hausa Nigerian presidents, Yoruba Nigerian presidents,” he remarked, “but we have not yet had a true Nigerian president who represents all.” Until Nigeria breaks free from ethnically based politics and embraces inclusive leadership, Obasanjo warned, it will remain mired in the same set of challenges.

He concluded by urging for unity, sincerity, and a deep commitment to the national interest above regional or personal agendas.

Dear Parents,

There are things that parents do that makes me wonder if they know the implications. In my teaching career, I've come to realize that children who are well brought up produce better results.

What I see these days is training the "butty" (aje butter) way which gets me scared of what will happen in the next 10-15 years.

I see eight year olds who don't bother to lay their beds.

I see 10 year olds served by the maid or "caring mum" on the table and they either don't pack the table or they just dump the plates in the kitchen for the maid or "caring mum".

Drivers carry the bags of
children above 5 years and the children call them "my driver".

Manual cloth washing is
gradually been replaced by
washing machines yet the maid or "caring mum" will be the one to do the laundry.

Children wake up and go straight to the TV and sleep late watching TV with mum and dad but mum and dad don't allow them read late.
They'll say "go and sleep".

I see parents play game for
hours on their phones yet
wonder why their children don't read and why their results are poor despite investment in expensive schools.

I see tweenagers and teenagers who can't cook common white rice because there's maid, nanny, cook, "caring mum" etc.

I see children who are addicted to cheating in exams, assignments, class work and the parents aren't taking conscious steps to correct it, instead some will bribe teachers to make their children first, teach them during external exams or take them to "miracle centres" to write their exams.

I see children who talk to their parents and other adults disrespectfully and all parents say is "children of nowadays are outspoken".

Your children's wardrobe is full of clothes but they don't have a single book.

You buy them lots of toys but you didn't buy them books.

I can go on and on.

See, when next you tell your
child not to do house chores,
study hard, etc, have it at the back of your mind that what you're saying is "don't take responsibility for your life".

I guess parents don't know that chores and morals are almost directly proportional to academic performance.

Haven't you thought of it that when our forefathers went to farm, fetched water, etc, before or after school, the world was a better place?

Haven't you thought of it that our local proverbs which have remained relevant were coined by unlettered men and women?

A Hausa proverb says, "Ka so naka, duniya ta 'ki shi..." favour your son and the world will reject him..." (vice-versa).

A Yoruba proverb also says, "eni a nwo ki wooran"... "those who make news don't watch news".

So when you're mentoring your children to be T.V. addicts you should understand what you're
grooming them to be.

There are TWO PAINS in life and everyone must suffer one; *PAIN OF DISCIPLINE* or *PAIN OF REGRET*.

When you're preventing your
children from going through *pain of discipline*, just understand that you're automatically preparing them for *pain of regret*.

Some parents feel that their
children's careers are secured because of their financial stand.

Now, let's do this analysis:
1. You get your children a job.

2. You make them take over your company.

3. You set up a business for
them.

1. If you get them a job and they have the wrong attitude at work like being late, talking rudely to clients, etc, which made the company lose a big contract, will they keep them there?

2. They take over your company and your company lost within three months an amount that you didn't make in your first five years in business due to their lack of discipline, will you pat them on the head and say I'm proud of you child?

3. They run the business shabbily and there's nothing to show for it within few years.

The earlier we stopped these
pampering the better. You will give an account to God for them.

Train your child in the way he
should go and when he is old, he won't depart from it.

Your fellow Southerner is in a position to give you employment.

You go to him for employment.

You speak good English and write an excellent application letter to impress him.

He tells you to bring your credentials.

You bring your First Degree (First Class or second class).

He tells you to go and do your Masters and even PhD for you to get the job.

ON THE OTHER HAND

A Northerner is in a position to give employment.

An Hausa Man goes to him.

He speaks Hausa to him.

He tells him to bring his qualifications.

He brings a third class degree or an SSCE with two Credits.

He gets the job and saves money to further his education.

He gets a Masters Degree while doing the job.

Tomorrow, he is appointed as Executive Director.

Ten years Later, he becomes Chairman or DG of the Agency.

The Southerner sees this and hates on the Hausa Man.

He accuses him of nepotism.

But that's not nepotism.

That's communalism.

Southerners must understand the difference between nepotism and communalism.

Helping your Brother to succeed is not nepotism.

Southerners just need to learn how to love one another like Northerners do.

Stop hiding opportunities from your people.

Northerners do not hide opportunities from their people.

Help a brother get a Job today, show opportunities.

Don't talk Love, just show it. Don't tear the appllication of a brother who puts the trust of his life in your hand. He might be the one to save you when your trouble comes in that very office.

When Fighters Unite, Tyrants Tremble!

This gesture transcended a simple handshake; it symbolized a catalyst for change.

Nnamdi Kanu and Omoyele Sowore — two influential voices that pose a significant threat to the oppressors. One advocates for Biafran self-determination, while the other champions a revolution to liberate all Nigerians, from north to south.

In New York, they converged to declare a unified stance: The people will not be divided. We will not succumb to oppression.

This image serves as a poignant reminder: The genuine adversaries are not our tribes, languages, or faiths, but rather the corrupt elite who exploit our suffering for personal gain.

Their strategy is to instill fear among us, fueling divisions. However, when we unite — Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Idoma, Tiv — our collective power as a free people becomes an unstoppable force.

May we never forget the transformative impact of unity. May our pursuit of justice remain unwavering. #FreedomNow #FreeNnamdiKanu #RevolutionNow #UniteAndResist #Nigeria
