VivianBabalola: Crowd Says “No Going Home” as Peter Obi Leads Surprise Late-Night Campaign for Dr. Mo
What was supposed to be a simple campaign stop turned into something far bigger than anyone expected.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhI3wgA-aIQ In this video, Peter Obi leads a late-night campaign squad in support of Dr. Mo, but instead of the crowd dispersing as the night grew darker, something unusual happened — they refused to go home.
No chairs. No comfort. No official program extension.
Yet the crowd stayed.
Why? What message was being passed that kept people rooted long after midnight? And what does this say about the growing political mood ahead of crucial elections in Nigeria?
This moment is now trending because it reveals a grassroots political energy rarely seen in Nigerian night campaigns — raw, emotional, and deeply symbolic. From the chants to the body language, this rally may signal a shift that the political establishment cannot ignore.

Did you know one funny thing? Whether or not Peter Obi emerges the president of Nigeria, your condition will not change neither will the condition of your family or that of that generation that comes after you. Peter Obi has been a made man even as far back as 1995. Whenever I see some of you come here to type things and then drag Peter Obi into it, I just laugh at all your ignorance. People laughing while Nigeria keeps going back wards is one of the wonders of the world. For your information if the man doesn't win tomorrow it doesn't change the fact that Peter Obi is made likewise his kids and the generation after him. Whatever he's doing today is for people lyk you who have no future.
treesun: Dadiyata was abducted on August 2, 2019, from his Kaduna residence by unidentified gunmen.
Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has alleged that former Kano State governor and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was responsible for the abduction of an activist, Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata since 2019.
El-Rufai made the statement during an interview on Arise News Prime Time on Friday, where he addressed questions regarding the activist’s disappearance and clarified that Kaduna State authorities were not involved.
Dadiyata was abducted on August 2, 2019, from his Kaduna residence by unidentified gunmen.
The case drew attention from civil society organisations and members of the public, and police investigations were conducted at the time.
His current whereabouts remain unknown.
El-Rufai said that Dadiyata’s criticism was directed at the Kano government. He said, “He (Dadiyata) is a critic of the Kano government, it was Ganduje that was his problem, go and check his timeline, I don’t even know him."
He explained that Kaduna State authorities only became aware of the activist after the family reported the abduction to the police.
“We only got a report of Dadiyata’s existence after his family reported to the police that he was abducted."
El-Rufai also referred to a police officer’s alleged confession regarding the abduction.
“Three days after Dadiyata’s abduction, a policeman posted from Kano to Ekiti confessed to someone that they were sent from Kano and abducted Dadiyata, and felt bad about it."
He reiterated that Kaduna State had no role in the incident. “That is the only thing I know, but it was not a problem for Kaduna State.”
Human rights organisations, including the Amnesty International, have previously called for investigations into the case. More than six years later, no official findings have been made public.
notoracism: Marriage is a joke. I have stayed in 16 years of hell, trouble, fight, arguement.
My kids are unhappy.
I have never stayed in my marriage happily for 3 days since almost 16 years.
I wish I could end this mess, and no family member would know.
Not for me anymore.
I dont know how to stay calm. My husband never smiles, he is a sadist. I do nothing right, always compalins, haaaaa. We split bills but still compalins, what else do I do? He keeps saying abroad marriages crashes, I am doing my best, I am trying, this man is so emotionally unstable. I am dying slowly, I dont have peace of mind.
If I leave, they would say abroad destroyed our marriage, but it is not true, we've been through alot, the trouble has always been there, we came here with bad baggages. My sister has had an experience with him before and she asked me how I cope.
He got a very good job, and lost it due to his negligence, he would stay and call all night without sleeping. Call all his friends, tell them about his job, send them link to the company website, despite all my warnings to remain humble.
He started struggling and lost the job. He is doing menial job now and started calling me names. The job issue is not why he is calling me names, he has always been an abusive individual, proud and impatient.
He is threatening to leave us, I dont care anymore, I would adjust and move on. Since I have not had the courage to leave if he leaves, I don't think I will ever allow him a space in my life. Neverrrr.
Madam, go and sit down with your husband and settle your marital issues. Don't bring it to nairaland. Look how you are calling him names because he's not here. One funny thing about some of you is that you'll never mention the things you did wrong. I won't be surprised if you are doing this because you want to be free to do things best known to you which the marriage won't permit you to. Go and resolve your marital issues. That man needs you, don't back out and don't paint him bad.

phantomxx: THE PRESIDENT HAS ORDERED, Sir Siminalayi Fubara MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE DOMINANT POLITICAL FIGURE IN RIVERS STATE, AND ORDERED AN IMMEDIATE HALT TO ALL IMPEACHMENT PLANS AGAINST HIM
BREAKING President Bola Tinubu has taken fresh action to calm the prolonged political crisis in Rivers State involving Governor Siminalayi Fubara and former governor, Nyesom Wike.
The president has ordered an immediate halt to all impeachment plans against Fubara. However, the decision came with strong warning aimed at restoring order and control in the state.
Tinubu’s message to the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike was direct. Gov Siminialayi Fubara must be acknowledged as the dominant political figure in Rivers State based on his office as the number one citizen of the State, regardless of party lines. The president made it clear that this status should not be challenged.
He warned that continued conflict, needless political rallies and unguarded statements by the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and his supporters is weakening governance and threatening stability in the state. He also insisted that such instability would not be tolerated under his administration.
At the same time, Tinubu further instructed Wike and his allies to withdraw from any impeachment plot against the sitting governor. The focus, he said, must return to governance and public service.
As part of the agreement, wike was directed to formally recognise Siminialayi Fubara as the “political leader” of Rivers State.
The president directed that Gov. Sim loyalists should be recognised by the ruling party. One of the conditions stated, “It was explicitly stated that the APC party structure should be handed over to Sim and no further action be taken without the Governor's consent or approval.
More details to follow....
Make una stop this nonsense. Today una go talk from one side of una mouth and tomorrow another side of una mouth. Una no dey tire?

avalancheMedia: When the Student Becomes the Teacher: How David Mark Publicly Schooled Akpabio on Democracy 101
There are moments in politics when someone says the quiet part out loud, and there are moments when someone gets called out for it so spectacularly that you can't help but watch. Tuesday's Senate session gave Nigerians both.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio stood before his colleagues and attempted to justify why electronic transmission of election results should remain stripped from the Electoral Act. His reasoning? The opposition won some states anyway, so what's the problem?
Then ADC National Chairman Senator David Mark rose to his feet and delivered a masterclass in public correction. In clear, measured terms, Mark didn't just disagree with Akpabio, he reminded him of something the Senate President seemed to have completely forgotten: his actual job description.
"What the ADC is saying is, pass the law, and there should be electronic transmission," Mark stated firmly. "Let INEC decide whether they can do it or not. Don't speak for INEC. Speak for the National Assembly. What the public wants is let there be electronic transmission."
In those few sentences, David Mark gave Akpabio a civics lesson in front of the entire nation about the fundamental difference between serving the people and serving yourself.
Akpabio's Breathtaking Logic
Let's appreciate what Akpabio actually said, because it deserves to be examined in all its glory. "This same Electoral Act made the opposition party win a large number of votes in the 2023 presidential election. In fact, Peter Obi won the five states of the south-east and even took Delta in the South-South and Lagos in the South-West with the same act we're talking about oo. Maybe we should leave the act so that they will see that no matter how they jump from here and there, they'll still lose."
The Senate President just stood before the nation and essentially said: "Look, the opposition won some states, didn't they? So stop complaining. Besides, they still lost the big prize, so what's the noise about?"
This is the political equivalent of a thief telling you, "I only stole your TV and laptop, but I left your toaster. Why are you calling the police?" Akpabio's logic is spectacularly empty and profoundly insulting to Nigerian intelligence. He's essentially admitting that even with a flawed system, some opposition victories slipped through, and he's using that as proof the system works fine.
But here's what makes it worse: the smug certainty in his tone. The dismissive "oo" at the end. The casual "they'll still lose" that gives away the entire game. Akpabio wasn't defending the Electoral Act. He was openly bragging about how the ruling party could win regardless, so why bother with transparency? This is a man who has completely forgotten that elections aren't supposed to be rigged games where the house always wins.
David Mark's Masterstroke
Enter David Mark, a man who has been in Nigerian politics long enough to recognize nonsense when he hears it. Mark didn't shout. He didn't need to. He simply delivered a reminder so basic that the fact it needed to be said at all is damning.
"Let INEC decide whether they can do it or not. Don't speak for INEC. Speak for the National Assembly."
With those words, Mark cut straight to the heart of the matter. Akpabio wasn't acting as a senator representing the Nigerian people. He was acting as a defense attorney for the status quo, making excuses for why transparency shouldn't happen. Mark reminded Akpabio that his job isn't to protect political parties or defend flawed systems. His job is to listen to what Nigerians are demanding and make laws that reflect those demands.
"What the public wants is let there be electronic transmission."
Simple. Clear. Undeniable.
The Nigerian public has been screaming for electoral transparency since the 2023 elections left a bitter taste in millions of mouths. Nigerians watched results disappear into mysterious "technical glitches." They watched votes counted at polling units somehow transform into completely different numbers at collation centers. And what did Nigerians ask for in response? Not revolution. Not violence. Just one simple thing: let the results be transmitted electronically in real-time so everyone can see what's happening.
Mark's intervention was a reminder of a principle that should be carved into every legislator's desk: You are a servant, not a master. When the people speak, your job is to listen, not to lecture them about why their demands are unnecessary.
The 2023 Election Wound
To understand why Nigerians are so insistent on electronic transmission, you need to understand what happened in 2023. For the first time in recent history, young people actually believed their votes might count. Peter Obi's campaign energized millions who had given up on politics. Nigerians turned out in massive numbers, determined to be heard.
At polling units across the nation, citizens watched results being tallied. They took pictures. They recorded numbers. They saw with their own eyes who won their polling units. But then something happened on the way to the final results. Numbers started changing. Results announced at polling units didn't match results at collation centers. In some places, votes simply disappeared. The electronic transmission system that was supposed to provide transparency somehow stopped working at the most crucial moments.
The excuse? Technical glitches. In 2023. In an age when we can stream 4K video to our phones from anywhere in the world, Nigeria's electoral commission claimed it couldn't transmit simple numerical results electronically. Nigerians weren't stupid. They knew exactly what "technical glitches" meant.
The 2023 presidential election became the most controversial in modern Nigerian history not because people are sore losers, but because the process itself was so obviously compromised. This is why electronic transmission isn't some technical policy detail. It's the difference between an election that Nigerians can trust and an election that leaves everyone suspicious and angry.
When results are transmitted electronically in real-time, there's a permanent record created immediately. No one can later claim different numbers without that contradiction being obvious to everyone. Any discrepancies between polling unit results and collation center results become immediately visible. The possibility of "negotiations" during the transportation of results from polling units to collation centers essentially disappears. Confidence in the entire process increases dramatically.
Why Akpabio Really Opposes Transparency
Let's address the elephant in the room: Why would Godswill Akpabio be so opposed to electoral transparency? The answer is painfully obvious. Electronic transmission doesn't favor any political party. It favors the truth. And if you benefit from a system where the truth can be flexible, then transparency becomes your enemy.
Think about what Akpabio said again: "Maybe we should leave the act so that they will see that no matter how they jump from here and there, they'll still lose." That's not the confidence of someone who believes their party wins because voters support them. That's the confidence of someone who knows the game is rigged in their favor. It's the confidence of a card dealer who knows the deck is marked.
Akpabio isn't worried about opposition parties winning because of electronic transmission. He's worried about what happens when every Nigerian can see, in real-time, exactly who their neighbors actually voted for. He's worried about a fair fight. The 2023 election, with all its controversies and irregularities, put him exactly where he is today: Senate President, wielding enormous power, sitting comfortable. Would he be there if every vote had been counted honestly and transparently? That's a question he clearly doesn't want Nigerians to be able to answer definitively.
From Servants to Masters
Akpabio's stance represents a disease that has infected Nigerian politics so thoroughly that we've almost forgotten what healthy democracy looks like. The disease is this: Nigerian politicians have forgotten they are servants. During election season, they're everywhere. On your street, in your neighborhood, at your church or mosque, shaking hands, making promises, begging for votes. They practically prostrate themselves for your vote.
And then, the moment they win, something magical happens. The servant becomes the master. The beggar becomes the emperor. Suddenly, your phone calls don't get answered. Your concerns don't matter. Your demands become "unrealistic" or "politically motivated."
When David Mark told Akpabio to speak for the National Assembly and listen to what the public wants, he was calling out this disease directly. He was reminding Akpabio that the people aren't asking for his opinion on what's possible or reasonable. They're telling him what they want, and his job is to deliver it. That's how democracy is supposed to work. The people are the principals. The politicians are the agents.
The Road to 2027
Nigerians have made something very clear in the two years since the 2023 elections: they will not accept a repeat performance. The frustration, the anger, the sense of betrayal that followed the 2023 elections hasn't faded. If anything, it's hardened into determination.
The demand for electronic transmission of results is, at its core, a demand for dignity. It's Nigerians saying: "We're not stupid. We can see when we're being cheated. And we refuse to participate in a charade that insults our intelligence."
The exchange between Mark and Akpabio wasn't just another day in the Senate. It was a moment that crystallized everything that's wrong with Nigerian politics and everything that could be right about it. On one side, you have Akpabio: the embodiment of a political class that has forgotten who it serves, that defends broken systems because those systems benefit them personally. On the other side, you have Mark: reminding politicians of their basic job description, speaking for a public that's tired of being ignored, insisting that the people's will should actually matter.
Akpabio got taught . Whether he learned it remains to be seen. But millions of Nigerians were watching, taking notes, and preparing for 2027. And they haven't forgotten what happened in 2023. Not by a long shot.
Kingzjayzee: Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has stunned fans by announcing plans to divorce his wife to give himself the freedom to marry multiple women.
Speaking at a watch party for his latest film ‘Aníkúlápó: The Ghoul Awakens’, Afolayan explained that his decision is influenced by his upbringing in a polygamous household.
“I am in and out of court seeking a divorce. I don’t mind the toll. So I can marry many wives now,” he said in a video that has since gone viral.
CREDIT TO HIS FATHER'S LEGACY
Afolayan attributed his personal and professional success to the example set by his late father, who had ten wives.
“Without my father, there wouldn’t be a KAP Village or even Kunle Afolayan. I am the seventh child of my father because he had ten wives,” he said, urging men to consider marrying multiple women.
He added: “For the men, marry many women, or rather be involved with many women. You know why? If my father didn’t, he would not have born me, and that is the honest truth. But today, a few of us are lifting his legacy. Life is short, death is constant. Nobody has life forever. Everybody has a period. Use your period.”
His statements have since sparked heated discussions on social media, with many pointing out the stark contrast to his previous stance on polygamy.
CONTRADICTION TO EARLIER VIEWS
In a 2021 interview, Afolayan had openly rejected polygamy, citing the difficulties he witnessed growing up.
“I would not want to marry many wives because my father had 10 wives, and I knew what happened throughout that period. I knew that really distracted my father,” he said at the time.
He also highlighted the challenges his father faced managing a large family, which included 25 children. Language and cultural differences, he noted, made it difficult for the family to bond fully.
Despite this, Afolayan’s recent statements suggest a shift in perspective, crediting his father’s choices for his own achievements.
How Oshiomhole turned from the voice of labour and a die hard activist against corruption to this is one of the wonders of the world. His late wife will be turning in her grave.
