As far as the person you voted for is.

The person you voted for by himself said he communes with mad men.
He is one of them.

Who cares?, the market is fully deregulated.

Rivers State former Governor Peter Odili obtained similar favors at the twilight of his tenure in 2007. Sadly, the Commission/FG mischievously refuses to vacate it. It's not peculiar to Lagos State alone

- I thought he claimed to be a Sinator? Anüöfia!

- If Alex is man enough, he should challenge the uber driver to an MMA-like fight. He thought he is still in University of Calabar. Nde cultism. Mtchew!

You must be as retarded as PO your messiah! So the Police isn't arm of the government abi? Or you expect the president to take up the work of police spokesman? Foolishness runs in the blood of you Obi supporters naturally! 😂

Mynd44:
This is impressive but more work has to be done. More industries opened up to keep the upward trend.

Good enough, it is the most industrialized state in Nigeria, it just needs to push harder

malali:
Lol, you are repeating what i tell you.
I thought i was engaging with someone who had his own thoughts. I wont engage with you, I dont think you have the mental capacity to grasp what we are discussing. Sorry.
Obi is the critic/opposition
The president doesnt have to say anything, the police has arrested him, everything is working the way it should.
Obi who is quick to critic others, should critic Alex Ikwegech.

malali:
Tinubu has nothing to do with this.....
Tinubu lives rent-free in your head....
Peter Obi should come out with his full chest and ask for Alex Ikwegech to be fully disciplined for his untoward action as a lawmaker

helinues:
That's why I personally supported president Tinubu, he would handle issue like this maturely. No be today now

IMF, World bank whatever would eventually be alright . Our debt servicing have been on time under this government without panicking.

FX is increasing, FDI is booming, slow but steady

Ahead ahead Asiwaju

As Nigerians, we’ve been through enough—enough betrayal, enough selective justice, enough lip service. And yet, we’re here again, witnessing Peter Obi, a man vying for the highest office in our country, practicing a brand of selective silence that is not only disturbing but fundamentally flawed for anyone aspiring to lead a nation as complex and demanding as ours.

When it comes to national issues, Peter Obi has been strangely silent, particularly when his own base or the Southeast are implicated. The latest example? The case of House of Representatives member Alex Ikwechegh allegedly assaulting someone—a clear-cut issue of abuse of power. Yet, from Obi? Silence. Not even a whisper. Contrast this with how quickly he springs to life, microphone in hand, when incidents occur in other regions. Whether it’s the North or the South, Obi doesn’t hesitate to weigh in, sometimes even prejudging cases before any investigation has been launched. His speeches flow like the Niger River when he perceives an opportunity to score political points outside his stronghold, but when accountability hits closer to home? Not a word.

This isn’t just a slip in character—it’s a critical failure in presidential caliber. Leadership demands consistency in values. Nigerians can no longer afford leaders who pick and choose when to stand with them. Justice isn’t supposed to be regional or conditional, but Obi’s selective moral outrage makes it seem otherwise.

Now, take a look at Atiku Abubakar. Despite his personal closeness to Senator Abbo—the same senator who shamefully assaulted a young woman in a intimacy gadget shop—Atiku made a statement that made Nigerians take notice. He didn’t mince words, didn’t dodge accountability; he publicly condemned Abbo’s actions, stating they were unbecoming of a senator and called for due legal repercussions. He didn’t hide behind friendship or affiliations. He displayed what a presidential candidate should: a readiness to hold even close associates accountable, a commitment to a standard that is supposed to apply to every Nigerian equally. That’s the mark of a leader with a presidential mindset—someone prepared to make the hard calls, even when they cut close to home.

Peter Obi, for all his touted prudence, lacks this backbone. And the silence isn’t limited to him alone. Many who should have condemned Alex Ikwechegh’s actions have turned mute, their outrage suspiciously absent. This silence from Obi and others reveals a culture that prioritizes convenience over principle, comfort over courage.

Nigeria cannot afford leaders who speak when it suits them and go silent when the waters get choppy. Real leadership requires speaking out not just when it’s convenient but when it’s necessary. We need leaders who don’t just occupy the spotlight but hold it up to everyone—including themselves and their allies. Peter Obi may have been a fine governor, perhaps even a great one. But presidential material? True leadership requires more than economic savvy or regional appeal. It requires an unyielding commitment to justice that transcends friendship, geography, and political calculations.

In the end, Nigeria deserves a leader who sees this nation as a whole, not as fractured segments where allegiance depends on the audience. Until Peter Obi can stand firm, without regard to where his support lies, he will remain a regional figure at best, a man whose aspirations reach the presidency but whose actions reveal the limits of his leadership. A great governor? Maybe. A presidential figure for all Nigerians? Hardly. And for those watching—those who still believe in holding every Nigerian to account without fear or favor—it’s time to demand more from the people we consider presidential contenders. We need leaders who have the courage to hold justice high, even when it stings their closest supporters. That’s real leadership. That’s what Nigerians deserve.
