Veteran Nollywood actor Bob Manuel Udokwu has shared a remarkable and little-known chapter of his life, revealing how Peter Obi personally paid for his airfare to Haiti during the devastating 2010 earthquake relief mission. Speaking during an exclusive podcast on Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) Television, Udokwu recounted how the humanitarian trip led to a relationship that eventually opened the door to his career in government. He also narrated how a second charity mission to Haiti with Peter Obi became a turning point that saw him retained in government by successive Anambra State administrations.

Bob Manuel Udokwu's account:

"Peter Obi was the person who brought me into government. The picture you saw was taken in Haiti. In 2010, there was a major Earthquake in Haiti and Nigeria ln Government wanted some people to go and see how they can help out, to help them in recovery, through Red Cross. I happened to be a Celebrity Red Cross Official and then we had a meeting with the then president, Late Umaru Ya aradua at the Villa, Aso Rock. Peter Obi was Governor of Anambra State then and patron for the Red Cross. So After the meeting with President Yara sis, he briefed us and everything and arrangements were being made for us to go to Haiti. The Red Cross people and the government now said since I am from Anambra State..., I wasn't in government and Peter Obi was the governor of Anambra State, that he should take care of my air fare. Eventually, Peter Obi did. We went to Haiti where that picture was taken. That Picture was actually taken in a field were United Nations out some makeshift tents. That earthquake was bad. It was really bad. So the following year. We went again. The following year. It was not under government. I ran into His Excellency Mr Peter Obi in an Aircraft coming from Lagos to Anambra. So I didn't notice he was in the aircraft. By the time we came down, I saw him. I went to great him. He said 'Bob, Oh, you are around!' it was a weekend. He said 'okay why don't you come on Sunday evening, let's chat. I went to see him in the government house then at Amaubia and he was like 'I am going to Haiti again, back to Haiti again. But this time it is not under Federal Government. You know I do charity things so I have to go'. I said 'ah, your Excellency I have to go with you'. He jokingly said 'No'. I said 'I have to go with you. We went together and you saw the way it was. He said you really want to go. I said yes. He now asked his aide to call the person getting ticket. So we actually went twice. He was him bringing me into government that translated to Obiano coming in, retaining me, translated to the incumbent governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR retaining me and now made me Special Adviser which terminated in his first tenure. So that's how I came into government; through his Excellency Mr Peter Obi "

Politics › Peter Obi Put Socrates On A Billboard; Obiano And Soludo Put Their Names by otrasane(op): 8:11pm On Jul 05

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ba4mVJF2JU


Long before social media became part of everyday life, many people in Anambra noticed something unique about their governors. Each administration was known for a message displayed on large billboards along major roads.

During Willie Obiano's time in office, people regularly saw the words "Willie Is Working." Under the current governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, the popular slogan is "Soludo Solution." Or "Solution is here!". Both were smart campaign-style messages built around the governors' names, making them easy to remember.

Peter Obi, however, chose a different approach.

Instead of using a slogan that promoted himself, he placed a famous quote by Socrates on roadside billboards:

"An Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living."

The message was not about Peter Obi's name or personal image. It was a simple but powerful invitation for people to stop, reflect, and think about the kind of life they live, the values they hold, and the choices they make.

To Obi, leadership was about more than publicity. The quote reflected his belief that the progress of any society depends on the character, discipline, and principles of both its leaders and its citizens.

It also helps explain one of the most interesting decisions he made as a young man. At a time when many Nigerians believed Philosophy had little practical value, Peter Obi chose to study it. Many people found the decision surprising. Looking back, however, the message on those billboards suggests that Philosophy was never just an academic subject to him—it was a way of thinking and living.

Health › "Never Suck Out Snake Venom!" - Pediatrist Dr Odera Nwankwo by otrasane(op): 3:13pm On Jul 03

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlcaQASfMOw?si=7jowXSZJwTpOY3AB

What would you do if you or someone close to you was bitten by a venomous snake? Would you know the right first aid to give, or could your actions make the situation even worse?

Dr. Odera Nwankwo, a Pediatric Intensivist and Associate Professor of Pediatrics, has shared simple but life-saving advice on how to help a snakebite victim before they get to the hospital.

He explained that some snakebites cause local symptoms, such as pain, swelling, and redness around the bite, while others allow the venom to spread throughout the body. When this happens, it can become a medical emergency and may even be fatal if treatment is delayed.

According to Dr. Nwankwo, the victim should be kept calm, the affected arm or leg should be kept as still as possible, the head should be properly supported, and firm pressure may be applied over the bite area where appropriate. He stressed that the victim should be taken to the nearest hospital immediately for proper medical care.

He also warned against common mistakes that many people make after a snakebite. These include trying to suck out the venom with the mouth, cutting the bite with a knife, or tying a tight tourniquet around the affected limb. He said these actions can make the injury worse instead of helping.

Dr. Nwankwo urged the public to treat every suspected venomous snakebite as a medical emergency and seek professional treatment as quickly as possible.

"I Will Build Primary Health Centres in All 8,000+ Wards" — Obi Declares During Abuja Visit

During his visit to the Waru Wazobia community in Apo, Abuja, NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi unveiled an ambitious vision to establish primary healthcare centres in all of Nigeria's more than 8,000 wards. Addressing residents during the ongoing PVC registration exercise, Obi emphasized that true governance is measured not by what happens in major cities, but by the impact it has on underserved rural communities.

"This is where governance truly matters, not only in the cities. The rural communities, where the needs are greatest, are where government should demonstrate that it exists and genuinely cares for its people. These communities deserve quality education, accessible primary healthcare, and other essential basic amenities," he said.

Obi also urged Nigerians to play an active role in the electoral process, stressing that meaningful national development begins with citizen participation. His remarks have sparked fresh conversations about rural development, healthcare, education, and the importance of voting in shaping Nigeria's future.
