FSBoperator:
Just imagine the arrogance from Obi thinking he is above every other politician because he got free ticket from LP and managed a fluke third place position.

Now imagine him as President and how he will treat any dissenting opinion or critic of him.

This man is a tyrant and I thank God that everyday that he wakes up and realises that he can never EVER be President, his frustration brings out his inner tyrant.

Instead of criticizing Peter Obi, focus on yourself.
You’re not even sure of your next meal.

Peter Obi is a billionaire living a fulfilled life.
Whether he becomes President of Nigeria or not, he has accomplished a lot in life.

The same Gringori that said Kanu shouldn't be in jail, that he was merely throwing jabs at the government over the radio, is the one who can't tolerate Ken throwing a jab at him on social media.

Hypocrisy has built an impregnable fortress in the hearts and minds of Gringori and his horde of unconscionable supporters.

Let me correct that.
That’s not just a “jab”.

Kenneth Okonkwo directly called Peter Obi a scammer.
That’s a personal attack on his character and reputation, which amounts to defamation.
No reasonable person would accept that.

What makes a pastor a "fake"?

I'm really interested in knowing.

In Nigeria, a “fake pastor” is usually accused of exploiting faith for personal gain.

Signs:
1. Staged miracles.
2. demanding “seed money” with threats.
3. Selling overpriced “anointed” items.
4. False prophecies.
5. No accountability or training.
6. And luxury living while members stay poor.
Legal action only applies if there’s fraud or abuse.

Crime › Terrorist Raid Immigration Office In Ogbomoso, In Oyo, Took Weapons From Officer by Gjrich(op): 11:45pm On Jun 03

Tension gripped residents of Ogbomoso in Oyo State following an attack by armed men on an immigration facility located in the ancient city.

According to information gathered from sources familiar with the incident, the attack occurred late on Tuesday night at approximately 10 pm, causing concern among residents and security stakeholders in the area.

Details surrounding the incident remain sketchy, but reports indicate that the assailants stormed the immigration office and overpowered officers who were on duty at the time.
During the operation, the armed men reportedly succeeded in taking away weapons belonging to the affected personnel before fleeing the scene.

A source within Ogbomoso, who preferred not to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the matter, confirmed that the attack indeed took place. The source disclosed that the incident has raised fresh concerns about the security situation in the area, especially given the boldness of the attackers in targeting a government security facility.

Residents living near the location were said to have been alarmed by the development, although it remains unclear whether any injuries or casualties were recorded during the attack. Security agencies are expected to launch investigations aimed at tracking down those responsible and recovering the stolen firearms.

The incident adds to growing concerns over attacks on security institutions and personnel in different parts of the country. Analysts have repeatedly warned that the theft of weapons from security agencies could pose a significant threat if such arms eventually find their way into the hands of criminal groups.

As of Wednesday morning, authorities had yet to issue an official statement providing further details on the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Efforts to obtain comments from the spokesperson of the Oyo State Police Command were unsuccessful, as calls and inquiries made to seek clarification had not received a response at the time this report was filed.

Meanwhile, residents and community leaders are urging security agencies to intensify surveillance and strengthen protection around critical government facilities to prevent similar incidents in the future. Many have also called for a thorough investigation to uncover the motives behind the attack and ensure that those involved are brought to justice.

The development has sparked discussions among residents of Ogbomoso, with many expressing concern over the increasing audacity of criminal elements targeting security establishments. Authorities are expected to provide more information as investigations progress.

Politics › Police Seal Abuja Venue For Jonathan Ratification As PDP Presidential Candidate by Gjrich(op): 11:25am On May 30

Security operatives on Saturday sealed off the A-Class Event Centre in Abuja, the proposed venue of a special convention organised by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to former Minister of Special Duties, Tanimu Turaki, where former President Goodluck Jonathan was expected to be ratified as the party’s consensus presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

Police officers barricaded all access routes leading to the facility, deploying several patrol vans to block entry from both the Wuse and Maitama axes of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The action effectively prevented party members, delegates, and supporters expected at the convention from gaining access to the venue. Other motorists and road users were also affected by the restrictions.

A police officer stationed at the entrance of the event centre told LEADERSHIP Weekend that no political event had been approved to hold at the facility.

“There is no such event holding here today,” the officer said when asked about the planned PDP gathering.

The development came barely 24 hours after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, warned hotels, event centres, and owners of public facilities against allowing their premises to be used by what he described as illegal organisations.

In a statement issued on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the minister stressed that land allocations within the FCT were meant strictly for lawful activities and warned that violators risked losing their property titles.

“Going forward, the title documents of any event centre, hotel, or public building used for the gathering of illegal organisations will be revoked,” the statement said.

According to Olayinka, the directive forms part of efforts to strengthen security and support law enforcement agencies in maintaining peace and public order within the nation’s capital.

He added that authorities would closely monitor the use of public venues to prevent gatherings capable of undermining security or disrupting public order.

With political activities ahead of the 2027 general election gathering momentum, the FCT Administration also urged owners of hotels and event centres to transact only with the leadership of political parties recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and to maintain proper documentation of all bookings.

“Owners of these facilities are therefore urged to take cognisance of the legality of organisations seeking to use their facilities and their intended purpose before letting them out,” Olayinka stated.

“Failure to comply with this directive will result in the revocation of the title documents of such properties.”

The warning came a day before the Turaki-led PDP faction scheduled its convention to formally endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan as its consensus presidential candidate at the Abuja venue.

The factional move is expected to deepen divisions within the opposition party, as another bloc reportedly aligned with Wike has already adopted Sandy Onor as its preferred presidential candidate.

Turaki-Led PDP Changes Convention Venue After Police Barricade, Ratifies Jonathan As 2027 Presidential Candidate

The Turaki-led PDP changed the venue of its convention on Saturday and briskly ratified former president Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

The move was after the group was barred by the police from accessing the A Class Hotel in Abuja, initially rented for its convention.

The event, which did not last more than 20 minutes, had an ally of Jonathan, Fred Agbedi, who received the certificate on behalf of the former president.

Other dignitaries present at the event included Prof Jerry Gana, Tanimu Turaki, Adolphus Wabara, and several others who are loyal to Turaki.

Politics › The Southwest Is Under Imminent Danger Of A Mass Invasion By Terrorists - Dahiru by Gjrich(op): 9:00am On May 29

Majeed Dahiru, a technical member of the Lux Terra Leadership Foundation, has issued a stark warning regarding the evolving security landscape in Nigeria.
Appearing on Channels Television on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, he raised the alarm over a potential "mass invasion" of the Southwest if the current trend of insurgency remains unchecked.

Dahiru noted that the nation is witnessing a dangerous convergence of criminal elements in the North-Central and North-West regions. This "fusion," he explained, combines the brutal tactics of traditional banditry with the ideological drive of jihadi terrorism.

He warned that this hybrid threat is no longer a localized issue but a looming national catastrophe, emphasized more that the Southwest is particularly vulnerable to this expanding front of violence.

“The Southwest is under imminent danger of a mass invasion by terrorists. The kind of terrorism we are seeing now is a fusion of jihadi terrorism and people that are known as bandits,” Dahiru stated.

He further argued that this convergence is part of a larger, more ambitious plan by criminal groups. Beyond kidnappings and raids, Dahiru suggested that these "terrorist-bandits" may eventually transition into a phase where they openly vie for control of the Nigerian state.

According to him, these groups aim to seize land and resources while eventually seeking a form of international legitimacy. He cautioned that the country is steadily "inching towards" a state of destabilization that could threaten the sovereign integrity of Nigeria.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Dahiru criticized the response of the country's political leadership. He compared their perceived lack of urgency to that of individuals oblivious to an impending disaster.

“Our political class, they seem to be behaving like drunken sailors inside of a sinking ship,” Dahiru added during the broadcast.

Politics › JUST IN: Tinubu Approves 5 New Deep Seaports Across Nigeria by Gjrich(op): 11:17am On May 23

JUST IN: Tinubu Approves 5 New Deep Seaports Across Nigeria As Southeast Misses Out Again

The Federal Government has approved certification and compliance processes for five new deep seaport projects across Nigeria.

The proposed ports are:

📍 Badagry Deep Sea Port — Lagos State
📍 Olokola Deep Sea Port — Ondo State
📍 Ibom Deep Sea Port — Akwa Ibom State
📍 Bakassi Deep Sea Port — Cross River State
📍 Bonny Deep Sea Port — Rivers State

According to the government, over 70% of cargo meant for Nigeria is currently being handled by ports in other African countries like Ghana, Togo and Benin Republic.

Officials say the new ports could help reduce congestion, create jobs, attract investors and boost Nigeria’s economy.

However, many Nigerians are already reacting online over the absence of any South-East state from the list despite the region’s strong involvement in business and trade.

What are your thoughts on this?

Pascal Okechukwu, a.k.a. Cubana Chief Priest, scored just 14 votes out of 2,845 total voters in the APC primary for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency House of Representatives seat in Imo State.

He lost to the incumbent, Hon. Canice Moore Nwachukwu (Omeogo), who secured the ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.

He promised Bola Ahmed Tinubu millions of Igbo votes and swore to teach Peter Obi politics. Yet, out of nearly 3,000 votes cast in the APC primary, he got only 14.

14 votes — that’s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 out of nearly 3,000 votes.

14 votes ooo. And this is the man who promised to carry all Igbo votes in a basket and deliver them to Tinubu in 2027 as the South East “City Boy” coordinator.

To God eh, if this guy doesn’t suffer for 600 years, I don’t know what will.

Politics › I Will Turn Nigeria Around In Four Years — Rotimi Amaechi by Gjrich(op): 7:51pm On May 14

Former Minister of Transportation and presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, Rotimi Amaechi, on Thursday, pledged to transform Nigeria within four years if elected in the 2027 general election.

Amaechi made the promise shortly after submitting his nomination forms at the national headquarters of the ADC in Abuja, where he also took a swipe at the administration of President Bola Tinubu, blaming it for the country’s worsening economic hardship.

The former Rivers State governor said the 2027 election should be based on competence, experience and performance rather than ethnic or regional sentiments.

“What Nigerians should do is assess all of us who are running for office based on our records,” he said.

“Nearly everybody who is running for the office of the president has served Nigeria in one way or another. Let this be a referendum. If you have performed, whoever has outperformed the other, vote for the person.”

Amaechi argued that his years in public office had prepared him for the task of leading the country, citing his tenure as governor and later as Minister of Transportation under former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The next thing is, who is capable of delivering the votes? Who is capable of beating the incumbent? Who has the experience? I believe I am the most experienced.

“I am young, I am the most experienced, and I believe I have the capacity. Go back to Rivers State and see what I have done. Go back to the Ministry of Transportation and see what I have done, and assess it and see whether I can turn the country around. And I will, in four years, turn the country around,” he declared.

Amaechi, who served as governor of Rivers State from 2007 to 2015, was a key figure in the formation of the All Progressives Congress and later served as Director-General of late President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 campaign council.

As Minister of Transportation between 2015 and 2023, he oversaw major railway projects, including the Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan rail lines, although critics questioned the rising debt associated with some of the infrastructure projects.

Speaking on the state of the nation, the former minister criticised what he described as the growing hardship under the Tinubu administration, saying Nigerians were bearing the brunt of economic policies that had worsened living conditions.

“Nigerians should vote for merit, not vote for those who say, ‘I’m from this place’ or ‘it is our turn.’

“It is the ‘Emilokan’ mentality that brought us here. It is our turn that brought us here. Now Nigerians are suffering,” he said.

According to him, the country’s economic realities cut across religious and ethnic divides.

“There is no market for Christians, nor is there a market for Muslims, nor a market for northerners or southerners. The market has only one purpose — the naira. Nigerians are suffering.

“The current president has put us in this suffering. I don’t know why he wants to run again. I don’t even know why the APC wants to participate. They should be ashamed and allow other Nigerians to participate and change the country,” Amaechi added.

On the forthcoming ADC presidential primaries, Amaechi said he preferred a direct primary process but would accept a consensus arrangement if it favoured him.

“I’m going for primary. If the consensus is me, fine. But if it’s not me, I’m going for primary,” he said.

Amaechi’s declaration comes amid increasing political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, with opposition parties seeking to build stronger coalitions capable of challenging the ruling APC.

The ADC has recently attracted several high-profile politicians positioning themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle, as debates over economic reforms, insecurity and governance continue to dominate the political landscape.

Although the party had, in recent weeks, lost prominent figures to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, including ex-presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Politics › Enugu State To Launch 660MW Coal Power Plant In July by Gjrich(op): 10:14pm On May 12

The Enugu State Government has unveiled plans to commence construction of a 660-megawatt coal-fired power plant in July, in a move aimed at boosting electricity supply, industrialisation and long-term economic growth in the state.

Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah disclosed the plan during a solidarity visit by the Organised Private Sector Nigeria (OPSN) at the Government House in Enugu, describing the project as a critical pillar of the administration’s strategy to transform the state into a major economic and industrial hub.

The governor said the project would be completed within 24 months, with the target of commissioning the plant by 2027.

“But we have gone beyond just setting up the electricity market to now being interested in producing the electricity here. I am pleased to inform you that in July we are going to be breaking ground for a 660MW coal-fired power plant,” Mbah said.

“The outlay in terms of time for building the plant is 24 months. So, our target is to commission that power plant 24 months after the groundbreaking in July.”

According to him, the project is expected to significantly improve electricity reliability for both residential and industrial consumers in the state while reducing energy costs.

“What that simply means is that post-2027, you will not have your power go off in Enugu, whether for businesses or for residential. You are also going to have affordable electricity because it is going to be by far the cheapest in the country,” he said.

The planned plant will leverage Enugu’s extensive coal deposits, historically one of the state’s key natural resources, to support power generation and broader industrial expansion.

Try this short interactive format.Make a choice and uncover what’s waiting for you.

Mbah noted that the state had already taken steps to establish its own electricity market following constitutional and legislative reforms that decentralised aspects of Nigeria’s power sector.

He said Enugu was the first subnational government in Nigeria to establish an electricity market after amendments to the Constitution and the Electricity Act transferred electricity from the Exclusive Legislative List to the Concurrent List, allowing states to participate across the power value chain, including generation, transmission and distribution.

The governor also addressed environmental concerns often associated with coal-fired plants, arguing that Enugu’s coal reserves are among the cleanest globally due to their low sulphur content and high calorific value.

“The interesting thing about our coal is that we have the best quality of coal in the world. Our sulfur content is less than 0.5 percent. With 1 percent you are happy, but this one is 0.5 percent. The only country that comes close is Japan,” he said.

“So, instead of just exporting our coal, we are going to be benefiting from it by adding value, generating electricity with it.”

Mbah added that the project followed about two years of technical studies and strategic planning, including the acquisition of coal assets to guarantee long-term fuel supply for the facility.

Industry analysts said the development could position Enugu as a major regional energy hub, particularly as Nigeria grapples with chronic power shortages, weak grid infrastructure and rising demand for reliable electricity from industries and households.

The project is also expected to stimulate investment inflows, create jobs and support manufacturing activities across the South-East region.

The man should humble himself and Deputize Obi, Allow Obi do his one term and he can start thinking of running for the Presidency...

Peter Obi has many Northern heavy weights to pick as his VP candidate and he will make real impact...

Kwankwaso has few Southern heavy weights to pick as his VP candidate to make any real impact at the polls...

Kwankwaso at the head of any ticket is already a tough sell because the general mood in the Nigerian polity is that it is still the turn of the South...

So he should humble himself and Deputize Peter Obi..

Don't worry about that.
NDC has already zone the presidential ticket to the South.

Business › Dangote To Invest In 20,000MW Power Project To Tackle Nigeria’s Blackout Problem by Gjrich(op): 7:08am On May 08

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest businessman, says Dangote Group is planning to invest in power generation with a target of up to 20,000 megawatts.

Dangote spoke in an interview with Makhtar Diop, managing director at International Finance Corporation (IFC), on Wednesday.

“We are now going into power — 20,000 megawatts,” he said.

Nigeria currently generates about 4,000–4,500MW of electricity, far below its installed capacity of over 13,000MW.

Dangote further listed the planned investment alongside other ongoing projects, including fertiliser production, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and port development.

He also spoke on the evolution of his refinery project, noting that it faced scepticism at inception.

“At the time when I started this refinery… I have never ever seen crude oil in my life,” he said.

“People openly said this refinery will never happen.”

The Dangote refinery, valued at about $20 billion, is now producing fuel, with capacity estimated at 650,000 barrels per day.

Dangote also said the experience has reinforced his approach to investing in large-scale projects across the continent.

“How do we open up Africa? We will open Africa by demonstrating that we believe in Africa, by investing our money in Africa,” he said.

“Because if I don’t invest my own money, I can never go to any conference and convince people that Africa is a good place to come and invest. But right now, I have a voice, I have demonstrated that these things are possible.”

He added that his group is expanding fertiliser production capacity to about 12 million tonnes annually, alongside investments in mining, agriculture, LNG, and a deep-sea port.

“And the needs of Africa are petroleum products, fertilisers,” Dangote said.

“Today, in about two and a half years, we will be the largest fertiliser company in the world. We are putting up 12 million tons of urea. We are opening up mines of potash and phosphate in Congo and Brazil. We are building the biggest deep-sea port with an 18-meter draft. We are doing LNG.”

He added that the expansion is being driven by stronger cash flows and increased financial flexibility.

“We are now actually free of assets, and we can actually raise more money. Our cash flow now is very, very strong,” Dangote said.

He added that the projects are aimed at addressing critical infrastructure and industrial gaps across Africa.

Dangote, however, said investments will make sense if Africa addresses its structural trade barriers.

Datti Baba-Ahmed needs to stop crying about Peter Obi.

He’s bitter because Obi picked Kwankwaso over him. Kwankwaso has political relevance – Datti couldn’t even win his ward for LP.

Now he’s in pain watching Obi in NDC

In the real sense of existence, nobody should leave their destiny tied to that of a confused man.
Mr. Peter Obi is not only confused, he also acts irrationally. A smart person with a defined and well-thought-out ambition would not have moved to join Atiku in ADC, knowing the kind of person Atiku is and his quest to be president at all costs. What was Obi thinking when he went to ADC?
God forbid 🚫 I support people like Obi

Stop Crying Because of Peter Obi.

Obi won't have won against Atiku in the primary.
It's seems Obi don't like primaries or the way party primaries are setup. With NDC I think Obi is solo for now Kwankwaso I am not sure his intentions but Obi is solo right now. NDC is a new party though I don't think it has political bigwigs, its founder is Dickson former Bayelsa State governor but he is not a weight in national politics. Only Obi and Kwankwaso sound as names we all know.

Correction on Peter Obi’s ADC Exit

Contrary to claims, Peter Obi never said he wouldn’t contest the ADC primary election.

In fact, he pushed for a Direct Primary so party members could vote. But Atiku and ADC party leaders rejected it.
They opted for a consensus arrangement instead – a move designed to make Atiku the party’s flag bearer.

Atiku had already funded key party leaders to back the consensus plan, expecting to secure the ticket unopposed.

When ADC leaders realized Peter Obi and Kwankwaso were set to leave the party over this, they urgently called an emergency meeting, pleading with both men to stay.

But Obi, anticipating the outcome, had already decided to exit.
The ADC was never prepared to conduct a Direct Primary.

Now, with ADC facing legal battles, Atiku and the same party leaders are considering moving to PRP or joining the NDC.

For Peter Obi and Kwankwaso, moving to NDC was a strategic decision.

Saturnalia:
Peter Obi should man-up and fight for what he wants by contesting for primaries wherever he finds himself or he should forget about ruling Nigeria.

Shebi his supporters think becoming a President in Nigeria is by running their mouths Cho Cho Cho Cho on the social media and bullying people that do not subscribe to their ideology?

As I have said before, Peter Obi will only rule Nigeria when this World ends and another one begins and ends again. Nonsense!

Politics › Outrage As Kano State Govt Distributes Branded Tinubu Underwear To Women. by Gjrich(op): 5:43pm On Apr 25

Outrage As Kano Govt Distributes Branded Tinubu Underwear To Women.

The Kano State Government has come under heavy criticism following the distribution of women’s underwear branded with the image of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

Photos and videos circulating on social media show women at a recent gathering, believed to be linked to an APC rally or early 2027 campaign activities, waving and displaying the branded panties.

The items reportedly feature the governor’s campaign-style portrait printed prominently on them.

The development has sparked widespread outrage and heated debate online, with many describing it as inappropriate, undignified, and disrespectful to women.

Critics have questioned the rationale behind using such personal items for political mobilization.

Some reports suggest the distribution was part of efforts to mobilize women ahead of future elections, while others claim it was an empowerment or outreach initiative.

NNPP supporters were said to have responded by flaunting rival branded versions featuring Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The controversy has dominated discussions on social media platforms, with mixed reactions ranging from condemnation to ridicule and calls for the government to clarify or address the matter.

As of now, the Kano State Government is yet to issue an official statement on the viral reports. Further details are expected as the story continues to generate public interest.

Politics › Northerners Rejected America Military Base In Nigeria; Tinubu Accepted Turkey by Gjrich(op): 7:39pm On Apr 22

America wanted to do that ,, we all said noo we don't want America, but I'm still surprised that nobody is talking about this Turkey building bases in Nigeria

And this was an advice from Gumi an 1slamic jahadist worshipper.

The nation who rejected American base and said Nigeria is sovereign state.,,and they are coming for oil is now silent over the coming of Turkish military to esterblish military base in the same Nigeria.

Maybe Turkey is not coming for our oil, they are coming for our gold.

Christian leaders are silent while the same man who negotiate with terrorists is now the same man suggesting which military should be allowed in Nigeria

I'm still waiting for all the noise content creators to say no to Turkish military invasion of Nigeria but they are now silent..

Something seriously is coming upon Nigeria..

The islamic world want to force us by all means to become Muslim.

How can Turkey who has hands in world terrorism be the one to build military base to protect Christian genocide?

And our Christian leaders doesn't even care.

Because they are busy with tithes.

Something is wrong somewhere

Prepare to defend yourself in Nigeria soon
