You Cannot Ask The People To Keep Fasting While You Feast Every Day — Obi To FG by DamnnNiggarr(op): 1:24pm On Jul 30, 2025
Leadership Failure: Nigeria’s Greatest Burden

I have consistently maintained that leadership failure lies at the heart of Nigeria’s problems. Until we confront it head-on, the country cannot move in the right direction. The cumulative effect of poor leadership remains our greatest obstacle to development. This calls for urgent disruption of the current retrogressive system and the enthronement of leaders with competence, character, capacity, and compassion.

Our declining governance has drawn global attention, as shown in the recent statement by the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Nigeria, echoed in The Africa Report (x.com/usinnigeria/st…) - a clear confirmation of what many of us have long said. Once again, let me be clear: you cannot ask the people to keep fasting while you feast every day. As Chinua Achebe rightly said, “The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership.”

I speak out to help build a new Nigeria, free of criminality and corruption. But instead of addressing the message, those who have hijacked our country deploy media thugs to insult and distract. Now that the American government has made similar observations, perhaps they too will become targets.

To all well-meaning Nigerians: this must stop. We must dismantle the system of criminality. We have voted based on tribe and religion for too long - it is time to vote for competence. Let us move from waste, looting, and reckless borrowing to production. Let us build a Nigeria that works.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

shocked

While Nigerians are urged to endure economic hardship "like labor pains," some governors are splurging billions on new government houses, @TheAfricaReport reveals » /3H5jxh9

@BudgITng warns that "instead of funding schools, clinics, or agriculture, leaders prioritize buildings they barely use."

@cislacnigeria adds: "There is more money, little accountability, and no priority."

Such alleged lack of fiscal responsibility fuels inequality and erodes public trust.

Leave Seyi alone, he has never occupied any public office.. Oseloka is twerking for men in the UK, nobody is bringing him into Obi's matter.

You dey mind the hypocrites, one of them quickly mentioned Seyi in a thread that doesn't relate to him but one hypocrite is saying you should respect his wife. Ask him if he told the other guy to respect the President's son.

Stop mastering hypocrisy. What has Seyi got to do with this thread?

Stop the victim crying when you are the culprit

Tinubu has made the opposition's job easier for them and that's why El-Rufai and the likes are comfortably checkmating him, riding on the tide of the angry and hungry masses. Tinubu's government is gradually fading into infamy. He has been instrumental to the unimaginable downward spiral for the last decade.


Even the gods are angry with him.

And you ignored the guy that plastered Seyi Tinubu pictures all over the place. Is Seyi a co-ruler with his father?

You guys should stop being h-y-po-cr-iti-cal and stop doing selective corrections

Una nor sabi politics. Obi don is enjoying his life in the UK too. I’m pretty sure there were poor people when his father was the governor in Anambra himself.
Re: You Cannot Ask The People To Keep Fasting While You Feast Every Day — Obi To FG by 9jatriot(m): 5:03pm On Jul 30, 2025
Obi may be lamba but I do recall that he was at least better than Mbadinaju, so this data may not be accurate
