Mr. Peter Obi demonstrated perhaps the most visible example of his strength of character lacking in most Nigerian politicians during his impeachment saga. The process was long and grueling. Many prominent Anambra elders urged him to “settle” the House members to retain his position. Even President Olusegun Obasanjo invited him and advised him to make peace by appeasing the Assembly. But Obi stood his ground.

He told Obasanjo plainly: “I would rather leave office doing the right thing than remain in office by doing the wrong thing.”

That moment defined his character. It’s one of the reasons Obasanjo continues to respect and support him to this day.

True strength is not in flexing muscles or dominating opponents. Real strength is standing firm on principles—even when your position, your reputation, or your comfort is at stake.

Many people today seem to view strength primarily through the lens of strong male characters in movie scripts. But real-life leadership demands a different kind of strength—moral strength.

People from that zone that never manage anything successfully or bring progress because they rely on only lies, propaganda and backward tribalism instead of hard work , honesty and innovation. Everything they touch never grows but turns to ashes…Nigeria is gone to the dogs

The actions of the worst president in Nigerian history will eventually collapse the entire country and there would be no Nigeria anymore. The lawlessness and destruction of institutions that ensures government is constitutional is now alarming and out of hand

Kdon2:
Yet he defeated all of you hands down in 2023. Dey play you hear.

Rigging you meant to say but now the north are awake to his antics

jmoore:
A professor that said that an investment in brewery is worth zero naira. Same brewery that pays 300 million as taxes to Anambra govt yearly.

Soludo should submit himself for mental evaluation first.

If na man e be let him mention names na

helinues:
What did they say about you and your government that you did not like?

they were inciting people against the central government not the state one

SmartPolician:
I saw these pictures on Sowore's Facebook page. That guy wants to give these looters a reason to budget trillions of naira for MMA rehabilitation. I fear who no fear Tinubu goons.

I have been hearing sowore works for him from the back and now this

Wike aide a Yoruba man Lere Olayinka replies….once el Rufai son read the name he will go back to sleep or continue watching his dstv



Na only base wey tinubu get now …his fellow emilokan people against the entire Nigeria

Trying to defend the worst president in Nigerian history is like trying to use spoon to fill Atlantic Ocean

Una go explain statistics to hungry Nigerians tire and no result

Nowadays anytime you hear one ridiculous Lamba it’s people from that side.I have heard Ugandan tales, Kenyan tales but this current Yoruba ridiculous Lamba wave is beyond me…what’s going on?

optionalY09:
Nigerians and Ghana are unique and special among all other Africans i have met in the USA

Most of other African are really difficult to deal with. Especially the Serialeon, Librarians (mostly ignorant), Kenyans (fair and hateful)

How about Camerounians, Rwandans and benninose

Level of poverty is alarming in Nigeria o …people celebrating salary of 20-30k ? Chai

Waste of time…reno is totally broke and doesn’t have anything to offer anybody

Tinubu hand don touch dem come change everything their parents told dem about Nigeria. I don’t like tinubu but if you get tinubu handshake your life will never remain the same cos I heard he no Dey look money give person right from before he joined politics. If he give you the kind of handshake he gave Mahmoud and SC justices you no go only belong an APC loyalist overnight but enroll for evening school and start learning Yoruba and how to dobale same evening. I only feel for the ones fighting for him online and on the streets that do not have opportunity of such handshake 😀😀😀😀😀

Softmirror:
Are you saying an Igbo man Soludo is afraid of Fulanis?

Very good question asked and how I wished somebody will ask soludo that question anytime he starts his Lamba about HE Peter Obi

MartinCorridon:
Same way Anambrans cursed Peter Obi for being the worst leader ever

in 2013 and a decade later, 2023, They tried to sell him as a Messiah and cousin of Jesus Christ.

All the people who berated him back then are now with him today including Aremu Obasanjo. What does that tell you about him?

Softmirror:
That is why Igbos are different. Igbos call a spade a spade. When Soludo said 99.9% of crimes and all sorts of atrocities committed in Anambra is by Igbos nobody doubted him. 😁

Exactly because it is an admission from him that he is arresting only igbo criminals but not Fulani criminals

If Lawrence Anini wasn’t executed in 1986 , still alive and a Yoruba. The way they would have hyped him up would suprise anyone who care about ethical societal standards for a better society and country. You would have been reading articles from them like “ Lawrence Anini the gold standards of criminality in Nigerian politics” once he is vying for elections. They don’t care about good governance as long as the person is from their side

Cocaine sale he day, land sale he Dey , corrupt
politics he Dey ….what does he have for the masses in terms of fighting insecurity and improving the economy?

helinues:
Noted

But just some weeks ago, 2,000 tractors plus 8,000 farming equipments was commissioned by president Tinubu. It should have been distributed to the states to boost food security

Btw, this projection figure used to be about 50m on average

Normal lies and propaganda

One million is still less than $700 and that s your annual income so by UN standards you are still below poverty threshold

Anytime you hear one ridiculous Lamba na people from that zone and they see mention of Obi name as big achievements in their lives

helinues:
Peter Obi as the presidential candidate for ADC, who will fund the election campaign. Atiku had him reasons for not pairing with Peter Obi in 2023 most especially when it comes to election funds. Atiku/Obi ticket, Peter Hardly dropped funds while the party money given to him couldn't be accounted for.

Atiku, Amaechi out of the ADC presidential race means they might not fund the candidacy of whoever emerge.

And please before talking about the donations from the supporters, that would be a token of all the funds needed for the main election as Nigeria election is expensive

Na you fund the last one he contested?

These people wake up their Obas in the morning with sliding tackles and correct beatings..,no respect for their traditional institutions . I remember the late Abiola Ajimobi begging them more than 10 years ago to have respect for elders and constituted authorities but all fell on deaf ears sadly

Disenfranchised:
I never see the unpredictability side of PO. The urchins don't know his next moves that's the reason for all these speculations and propaganda.

Exactly! The unpredictability and that he is mentally ahead of them causes them daily stress

Every inconsequential ant now seeking few minutes of fame by mentioning Obi name…smh
