Education expands the mind, and from Sen. Okpebholo’s words and actions I doubt that he has the requisite educational qualifications needed to understand concepts like the rule of law and the separation of powers.
Because *how do you disregard the Supreme Court, the Attorney General of the Federation and most recently multiple valid court orders* saying that local government chairmen were illegally removed and should be reinstated?” - AIT News
1. Since after the 2023 General election, the PDP has been wantonly swinging from one part of a slippery precipice to another, owing fundamentally to dishonesty and lack of trust amongst its key stakeholders.
To stem this ugly trend, efforts have been made to arrest this pernicious virus of dishonesty and treachery and enthrone fidelity to agreements with a view to stabilizing the party and moving it forward.
2. To this end, a meeting of the G5 was held in Lagos. In that meeting, I made it clear to the Governor of Oyo State, HE. Seyi Makinde, that he was the architect of our problems, pointing out to him that non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the party, and that he was the chief culprit of this anomaly.
At the end of the meeting, we resolved to bury the hatchet and make progress.
3. As a follow-up to the aforementioned meeting, there was an expanded meeting in Abuja involving HE. Seyi Makinde, HE. Umaru Fintri, HE. Bala Mohammed, HE, Bukola Saraki, and I in Saraki’s guest house.
In that meeting, I made it clear that I had no personal problems with HE. Bala Mohammed, except that he hides under the facade of Chairman of PDP Governors Forum to serially renege on agreements. Tensions rose mightily in the meeting and it took all concerned to calm frayed nerves.
At the end of the meeting, we came to some resolutions, including: a. That Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the National Secretary of the PDP in tandem with the Supreme Court judgement. b. All legal matters relating to Rivers State must be withdrawn by the National Legal Adviser. c. The suit on the State of emergency be withdrawn forthwith. d. Nobody should deviate from the agreements so reached.
In the light of the foregoing, they pleaded with me to attend the stakeholders’ meeting at the Bauchi Government Lodge, regardless of my many engagements.
I attended the meeting and clearly reiterated my earlier concerns, and to this end and in order to resolve all other lingering and pending issues, a committee was formed, headed by HE. Bukola Saraki.
4. It is disheartening to note that even before the Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee began its work, the gentleman’s agreement we reached at Saraki’s Guest House was already being crudely violated.
To my chagrin, Seyi Makinde had connived with Peter Mba of Enugu State to orchestrate the summoning of the meeting of so-called South-East leaders to recommend that if Ude Okoye was not adopted as Secretary, they would pull out of the PDP.
I have since granted an interview to the effect that, that resolution of the South-East leaders can not hold.
Again, Seyi Makinde organized some people in the National Secretariat to insist that the Deputy National Secretary should act as National Secretary, in violation of the agreement earlier reached.
To attempt to give credence to this farce, a letter was written by the Deputy National Secretary, calling for a meeting of the NEC of the party.
Furthermore, the letter confirming the candidacy of the Governorship candidate of the party in the forthcoming Governorship elections in Anambra State, duly signed by the National Secretary, Senator Anyanwu and the acting National Chairman, was portrayed as rejected by the party through a rebuttal letter signed by the National Publicity Secretary, acting on the orders of Seyi Makinde and Peter Mba.
All these actions are in complete violation of the agreements reached and would not do the party any good whatsoever. On the 24th of May 2025, in Jos, for instance, a well publicized and properly attended zonal elective congress of the PDP was aborted because the letter inviting INEC to the congress was signed by the Deputy National Secretary of the party.
INEC refused to attend because the proper signatory recognized by law, that is Senator Samuel Anyanwu was not a signatory to the invitation notice. This is undeniably distasteful, provocative and annoying, to say the least.
5. I have painstakingly put out all these facts so that PDP members and the general public would know the truth. I have been in this party since 1998 and have worked tirelessly for the survival of this party with all my strength and it is on record that none of these persons have done anything close to what I have done to sustain this party.
What is more painful is that I contributed substantially to most of these governors winning their elections, yet I have not made any personal demands on any of them and I would never do so.
Most importantly, I had thought that we could keep the trust amongst us, but since it is now obvious that they would continue to play games to the detriment of the party, as is the case in the current debacle in the North-Central zonal elections, I have now firmly decided to pull out of all agreements hitherto reached.
I have decided to fight on until justice is attained.

kettykin: Once a governor defects to the APC, governance often mutates into a grotesque performance of entitlement.
The hunger to impress vanishes. Complacency creeps in like mold—quiet, stubborn, and destructive.
Innovation dies not with a shrug. Decisions that once sparked growth are replaced by ceremonial nonsense, photo-ops, and recycled rhetoric.
And now Akwa Ibom, a state that for over a decade stood as the eastern corridor’s vanguard of growth, risks being lobotomized—its strategic edge dulled by party loyalty over public service. I’m genuinely alarmed.
Thank God Enugu, Abia, and Anambra haven’t bent the knee to the center. That disalignment is a strange blessing—it keeps governors alert, uncomfortable, and thus accountable. Because when re-election isn't guaranteed by party machinery, performance becomes the only real currency.
apprentist: Hello Guys, let me first of all say the cliché "It is well".
Now let we start. I met my wife years back just before the COVID-19 year during which we dated for almost a year and then eventually got married just when the lock down was reducing. I started this story this way because I wanted to emphasis that during that period, we had so much time to bond and she was mostly available to me as she only worked on shifts 2 to 3 days per week. We could sit and talk for long, go out at late nights and have great s*x as frequently as we needed.
This I think gave me a mirage of an anticipated marriage life so I didn't hesitate to take it a step further ones the lockdown was relaxed. I also made it clear to her that her job would have to give way when their kids start coming as I had plans to assist her further her edu and also put up a biz for her.
Speed up to after COVID-19, she resumed work which till this day demands 5 days a week and 2 to 3 Saturdays per month all from 7:45am till 5pm. Often times she'd return home tired and would manage to make dinner and off to bed till the next day circle continues. It became worse when we started having children. I drive them to school as early as 7:40am before dropping her off at her job. And then I'll pick them up by 5:30pm or 6pm when she's done with her job for the day (let me mention that this extends to public holidays and school holidays or breaks).
I got tired and in December 2025 I told her she has to quit the job. My plan was to enroll her back into a private school after my kids are Upto 4 years as one of them still depends on breast milk. I also gave her the option of starting a business which I understand is a dynamic move and might not be successful, but at this stage of my life it's something I could afford to risk and so I didn't mind.
I must also mention that out of a 100% sex, 50% is not mutual as I could sense she isn't interested and 40% is a denial as she would rather deny me of s*x with the excuse that she is tired.
Simply put, I'm tired. I'm a Christian and divorce isn't an option. Also I can't cheat, but I am starved of s*x and my kids are not given the attention they deserve. Pls advice me
So many sexless marriages these days...I rather be single than be in one.
fineeyez: Hi, I need some help figuring out something I’ve been contemplating.
Due to some financial difficulties, I have to relocate and I’m looking for a place in Nigeria that’s very affordable in terms of rent and general cost of living. One of my top priorities is reliable electricity and good network connectivity, as these are essential for my work and daily life.
My budget is quite limited—less than ₦100,000—so affordability is crucial.
So far, the options I’m considering include:
Osogbo, Osun State
Uyo, Akwa Ibom
Gboko, Benue State
Abakaliki, Ebonyi State
If you have any suggestions, insights, or recommendations about these places—or anywhere else that might fit my criteria—I’d really appreciate your input.
Thanks so much for your help!
Will recommend Uyo, however get a house on the outskirts of uyo (you might not even know that you're on the outskirts due to rapid development, and most especially, live in a place where you will have a space to farm...
“A child witnesses his father being brutally beaten by officers of Delta State Operation Sweep, who intercept a family going to church.
“A man, his wife, and children wwere going to church when they were forced to stop by officers of Operation Sweep (HE WAS ON MOTION AND THEY DOUBLE CROSSED HIM). He simply inquired about the reason for the stop, which resulted in the officers using excessive force. This is not an isolated incident, as there have been multiple complaints filed against Operation Sweep.
“Operation Sweep was established to combat violent crimes, but it has failed to achieve its intended purpose. I wish to bring this matter to the attention of His Excellency, highlighting the public nuisance posed by this outfit.“
DeZoro: I entered a mall in Toronto to.buy coke and the amount will amaze you. Two dollar and forty nine cent ($2.49).
Using the price of 50cl Coke in Canada versus Nigerian which is about Four Hundred naira (N400), I am suspecting that the ingredients are different combination. It means the Coke sold in Nigeria malls and shop are adultereted or of less ingredients.
I have attached the receipt of the Coke for verification in case you doubt..
First things first, what's the minimum wage in Canada, compare it....also check the inflation rate in both countries...then we can draw our conclusions

SmartEnergyng: By One Who Knows That No House Falls From the Outside Without Cracks Within
A gale is sweeping through Nigeria’s opposition — not the gale of power, but of desertion. And no party is bleeding faster than the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Every day, a governor jumps ship. Every week, a senator waves goodbye. And every month, a former stakeholder becomes a latter-day critic.
Yet the PDP’s first instinct is to blame the weather.
“They are being bought,” they say. “They are being threatened.” But when your roof keeps leaking, the question is not about the rain. It’s about your roofing sheet.
Let us speak plainly: what is wrong with PDP is PDP.
It is not Bola Tinubu. It is not the APC. It is not gale, wind, thunder, or political harmattan. It is the simple fact that a party once described as the largest in Africa[b] now behaves like a ship without a compass — and worse, without a captain. [/b] Leadership is the first casualty. The PDP has not had a moral centre since Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat. The party has drifted from one court case to another, with chairmen fighting like village kinsmen over a chieftaincy title — each faction more concerned with ownership than direction.
When history offered the PDP a golden moment — a chance to learn from its loss in 2015 and rebuild — it chose instead to pretend nothing happened. Like a man who wakes up in a burnt house and still searches for the TV remote.
By 2022, as the APC wrestled with fuel queues and Naira redesigns, the PDP had a golden opportunity to present a credible, united front. Instead, it stumbled into an ethnic war zone of its own making, mishandled zoning, insulted its Southern base, and handed the Labour Party an emotional advantage it never paid for.
And at the centre of this chaos is one man: Alhaji Atiku Abubakar — the perennial contestant, the familiar face on the wrong side of history. Atiku’s insistence on being the “last man standing” has become a bulldozer that crushes internal consensus. Rather than groom successors, he declares himself the only saviour left — like a prophet who refuses to leave the pulpit even as the congregation dwindles.
This is not ambition. It is addiction.
And now, the party groans. Governors leave, not because APC is perfect, but because PDP has lost its flavour. People do not eat saltless stew twice — no matter how nostalgic they are about the recipe.
What PDP needs now is not a press statement. It needs a mirror. It needs to look at its old mistakes: alienating the South, ignoring youth, mishandling internal democracy, running campaigns like inheritance.
Opposition is not a title. It is a discipline. It requires strategy, humility, and reformation. None of which PDP has shown since 2015.
So let the gale of defection blow. Let the rats flee. But when the house collapses completely, let no one blame the storm.
The termites were already inside.
Very soon they will be only be known as a group in either telegram or what's app...since they can't overcome their own selfish interest and greed
Glimpsetv: A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to express her concerns about the changing attitudes of men in today’s society. According to her, there was a time when, if you went to a restaurant to buy food, a man would approach and offer to pay for everything.
She added that back then, even men who didn’t know you at all would walk up to you at a shopping mall, offer to shop for you, and even carry your basket around the store. But nowadays, she says, men no longer do such things — instead, they simply wait for you outside.
She also recalled how, in the past, men would often stop their cars to offer women a lift upon seeing them by the roadside. But today, she claims, such gestures of kindness have become rare.
She went on to lament how much things have changed in the country, reminiscing about 10 to 12 years ago when men were more willing to help women and showed genuine care.
Watch the full video to hear her heartfelt thoughts and personal experiences on this shift in male behavior.
