I'm now 31. I can't work as a graduate trainee in most banks or Fintech in Nigeria due to age. Their criteria is always; > below 27 > NYSC certificate >2.1 > atleasg 1yr experience But if I manage to stay alive till 75yrs, when my brain cells will need more sleep then I'll be more than qualified to be the president of Nigeria that will determine the existence of any bank or industry in the country. A single Policy made by President Tinubu on May 29th 2023 threw over 30million people below poverty line. He doesn't have a first class. He didn't go to any university. He's not young. But he's qualified to rule Nigeria because the criteria to rule Nigerians is to be dubious and incompetent. Make it make sense We designed a system to have the best in Private sectors and the worst in Politics running the Affairs of the entire nation. Judicious in Micro economics but dastardly stupid in macroeconomic conditions.

It was a great day ... Happy weekend Lagos.

Pete Edochie’s tribute to Late Olu Jacobs 🕊️

Yesterday, I spoke with ARISE News on the Anambra debt question and other issues affecting our nation. In the interview, I clarified the facts surrounding the multilateral development funds accessed by Anambra State, the financial position I left behind in 2014, and the urgent need to focus on the hardships confronting Nigerians rather than on political distractions. I am Sharing this interview to correct factual details, clear all doubts, and put the issues in their proper perspective. A new Nigeria where leaders are proud of their past is POssible. -PO piped.video/uYifD4eZPmU?si=AN7I…

Happy Weekend!

Igbo boys born in Korea, they speak Korea and Japanese and can speak pidgin 😭😭 I never see this kind thing before

Personally, I think we Igbos need to Ekweremadu Umahi once he’s done cleaning Tinubu’s balls

Just In📹 “I AND MY WIFE ARE GODPARENTS TO SOLUDO’S CHILDREN…” HIS EXCELLENCY PETER OBI SPEAKS AT THE NIGERIAN GUILD OF EDITORS’ 22ND CONFERENCE IN ENUGU🇳🇬 It’s well

Yesterday, mhen! Sometimes, as a young person, even when you’re tired, you can’t afford to slow down because right behind you is a 65-year-old man still running, regardless of how tedious the day has been. Don’t mind my torn jacket. Perks of the job💀. New Nigeria no easy😑

Anambra Debt: I Stand by My Statement, Peter Obi Left $155m in Three Banks — Otti In a piece I wrote over six years ago titled "Prudence Over Profligacy," I demonstrated, using the balance Peter Obi left in Anambra, that it is still possible to be prudent in government. As CEO of the bank at that time, I advised Peter Obi to leave the money in dollars, not naira. The Soludo administration’s allegations do not invalidate what I wrote nor the credit he left behind. If otherwise, the Anambra State Government should publish the debts. Alex Otti, Governor of Abia State

ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days. I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics. I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended. Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them. Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally: As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility. When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified. Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years. The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014. The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting. The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure. This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record. The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure. The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.

On the day I left office, I left more than US$150 million as the dollar component of my investment in Anambra State as governor. I hereby provide documents that can be verified with the various banks. Had it remained untouched, this investment was expected to provide Anambra State with approximately US$10 million in annual income. Even if their assertion were accurate—which it is not—that Anambra owed US$123 million, the government could have used the US$10 million generated annually from my savings to reduce the debt. It has now been 13 years since I left office, which would amount to US$130 million. The debt should have been fully settled by now. Had they retained the funds I left in the bank, including the compound interest on the principal and the additional income, the total would be approximately US$335 million today. If they had chosen to repay the US$92.35 million funding, the entire amount would have been covered, leaving approximately US$242 million to be reinvested. That sum would have generated about US$20 million annually for Anambra State. Let me reiterate that, when I left office, I left Anambra State in a strong financial position—the strongest of any state in Nigeria—and I stand by that position. Through this clarification, I wish to state categorically that I will neither engage nor trade words with anyone regarding my tenure in Anambra State. My focus will now be on issues affecting the suffering Nigerian masses, which is the reason for my presidential ambition. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Let me categorically say again, I, Mr. Peter Obi, didn’t approach any financial institutions to borrow money or issue bonds on behalf of Anambra State in the 8 years I was in government. On the day I left office, I was not owing any salary ~ Peter Obi

If I dey talk about these agbero pandemic for Lagos, una go begin attack person. Just look at grown men and people’s bread winners making a mess of themselves. I don wash my hand for this matter

'For now, the bridge will be decorated with the pictures of President Tinubu. Once we are done with work on this bridge, I want all the illegal adverts on this bridge removed.' - Dave Umahi, Minister of Works

Westlife would never believe this is their track.👀😭

Tinubu 😭💔

“I’m a driver and I sleep under this bridge everyday. I drive a big man in Lagos he knows I live under this bridge but doesnt care. Politicians only need us during elections, but after the election, they abandon us. We’re suffering but I’ll vote Tinubu”
