 Politics › Ojudu: The Limit Of “atenuje” By Adekunle Olomilua by Oluwabash(op): 8:27pm On Nov 08 |
Ojudu: The limit of “Atenuje”
By Adekunle Olomilua
Reading through Babafemi Ojudu’s latest rambling epistle with the caption “BIG JEEPS, SMALL IDEAS: NIGERIA’S POLITICS OF MEDIOCRITY”, I could not help wondering why a supposedly grown man — a grandfather at that! — will choose to be roaming the street naked and barefoot, literarily speaking.
In Ekitiland where I come from, we place high value on what we call “uyi” (honour). It is a corollary to “iwa” (good character), without which a man is simply branded “oni yeye” (good-for-nothing).
Since he became jobless after Buhari’s tenure ended in 2023, Ojudu has more or less turned the social media to his new office. He churns out epistles almost on a daily basis where he tries to sermonise and posture as the new “moral conscience” of Yoruba politics, even though he is a political nobody.
In Ikere-Ekiti, whenever Ojudu is mentioned most people laugh at his inconsistency. This is beside some claims that his new-found prolificity is based on AI (artificial intelligence) stimulants. In a Facebook post, for instance, one computer engineer had alleged that fact-checking tools revealed that portions of Ojudu’s Facebook musings have genetic fingerprints of AI.
Well, the purpose of my writing is not to question or defend the right of anyone to use AI to enhance his literary performance, the same way some insecure men use sex-enhancing drugs to boost their performance in “the other room”.
Rather, it is Ojudu’s sustained hypocrisy and lack of shame. In the referenced article, he was at his sanctimonious best. Wanting to sound or appear “highly principled”, he began this way:
‘A senior friend and former colleague in the Senate recently asked whom I would vote for as President in the next election.
‘ “I do not know yet,” I replied.’
In the subsequent paragraphs, he went on his usual showmanship, name-dropping and “notice me” antics.
Hear him again: “President Bola Tinubu, as the incumbent, bears a particular responsibility to explain his record and the case for continuing his administration.”
Good. But the striking contradiction is that Ojudu’s name had yet topped the list of those nominated into the Ekiti APC Presidential Campaign Council just last week. It was in form of advertorial sponsored by the Ekiti chapter of the ruling party.
Given that the list was featured in virtually in all the national dailies, Ojudu cannot claim today not to be aware. Of course, the incumbent Ekiti governor, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO), is not on the ballot. So, the excuse that “I am in it for only BAO” is not tenable. Therefore, it can be said that the Ekiti APC Campaign Council has a singular mission: deliver Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential polls.
At this writing, I am not aware that Ojudu has declined his nomination into Ekiti APC PCC. Afterall, he had boasted in 2022 that “In the unlikely event that Tinubu won the APC primaries and became the flagbearer, I will not campaign for him. I will retire to my farm.”
Then, Ojudu was the arrogant Political Adviser to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and had become so insolent and acidic in attacking Tinubu who, ironically, was instrumental to him becoming Senator representing Ekiti Central between 2011 and 2015. Simply because Tinubu in 2014 was no longer willing to support Ojudu’s second term ambition against popular sentiments in Ekiti Central favouring Opeyemi Bamidele, Ojudu suddenly began to bite the fingers that had fed him politically.
Of course, the treachery and betrayal of the likes of his Ojudu could not stop God’s plan for Tinubu at APC primaries in June 2022 and the eventual presidential polls in February 2023.
Were he truly a man of honour, Ojudu should have returned to his imaginary farm. At least, with that, he would be of some value to the country by helping to ensure food security in the area of his self-confessed competency — cassava production.
But Ojudu is not. Rather, he has turned social media to his farm. So, he cannot reject the nomination into Ekiti APC PCC. Because, as a jobless man, he needs that platform to stay relevant in Ekiti and have easy access to Ado Ekiti Government House. So, to accept his nomination to Ekiti APC PCC and still be posturing that “I’ve not decided who to vote for in 2027” is shameless hypocrisy. This is not principle. But sheer “atenuje” (Yoruba for jobbery).
But the story is much deeper than it appears. Those truly in the know will attest that Ojudu cannot afford to reject that nomination openly. That may incur the wrath of Governor Oyebanji. The whispering campaign in Ado Ekiti is that a scheme of “stomach infrastructures” to the tune of N10m monthly has been put in place to service some selected “political figures”. That is why Ojudu is shameless enough to attack “national APC”, but is in bed with “Ekiti APC”.
Ojudu, you see your life.
That said, it is therefore high time Governor BAO stopped this Ojuju nonsense. Feeding Ojudu to be attacking President Tinubu will amount to betrayal of the President.
Otherwise, in the coming days, I personally will be leading a group of concerned Ekiti stakeholders to collect signatures to append a petition to EFCC whose chairman is incidentally an Ekiti indigene to track those collecting the “stomach infrastructure” from BAO monthly.
Ojudu may have some explanations to make.

"I Went to Feed 100 Children, But I Left Being Fed" — Beauty Queen Victoria Jenewari's Heart-Wrenching Visit to Abuja IDP Camp Leaves Her in Tears
Abuja, Nigeria — In a moment of profound vulnerability and unexpected grace, Miss Portharcourt City contestant Victoria Jenewari has shared a life-altering experience from her recent visit to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Abuja. The beauty queen, who is also a dedicated girl-child advocate, took to social media to recount a humanitarian outreach that shifted from a simple act of charity to a deep, personal awakening.
According to her, Jenewari set out on a mission to feed 100 children at the Area 1 Durumi IDP Camp in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory. The camp, which is home to thousands of displaced individuals, is one of the largest in the region.
Armed with bags of food packed into the trunk of her vehicle, she arrived with the intention of giving. However, the experience, she said, gave her far more than she could have ever anticipated. In a now-viral quote, she stated, "I went to feed 100 children, but I left being fed."
The powerful statement captures the paradox of humanitarian work — the giver often becomes the recipient of a deeper, more profound sustenance through the resilience and spirit of those they seek to help.
The Area 1 Durumi IDP camp, where the outreach took place, is a microcosm of Nigeria's broader displacement crisis. Established around 2014, the camp has grown to house over 3,000 individuals and 340 families who have fled insecurity and violence in various parts of the country.
The camp's inhabitants have long called for government support, particularly for basic amenities and healthcare, with mortality rates reportedly increasing due to deplorable living conditions. It is within this context that Jenewari's visit — and her willingness to share her emotional journey — takes on even greater significance.
Victoria Jenewari is not new to the world of advocacy. The 21-year-old beauty queen first rose to prominence when she won the Face of Democracy Competition in 2020 as an ambassador. She is the founder of the Victoria Jenewari Foundation, a non-governmental organization dedicated to the promotion of girl-child education and the welfare of children generally.
A graduate of Mass Communications, Jenewari has consistently used her platform to champion the cause of the less privileged. Her decision to visit the IDP camp is part of a broader pet project she is set to launch, which aims to address the needs of vulnerable populations in Nigeria.
The beauty queen's post has resonated deeply with her followers, sparking conversations about the true nature of service and the often-overlooked dignity of those living in displacement. Her message serves as a reminder that humanitarian work is not merely about providing material aid, but about acknowledging the shared humanity that binds us all.
As she continues her journey in the Miss Portharcourt City pageant, Victoria Jenewari has already proven herself a winner in the most meaningful way possible — by leading with her heart and reminding us all that true fulfillment comes not from what we give, but from what we allow ourselves to receive in return. format to collect donate for fake NGO we know how e dey go |

Around 2014 when I was still a student, I was always spending most of my holidays near a coffin making site.
I was young and naive so I felt the carpenters working at that site were stupid people for spending the whole day designing what will be lowered six feet into the ground.
When I finished from school and was jobless for some years, I had the opportunity to join the business but I still declined.
I would have used the advantage of being educated to advance in the business by incorporating other things like decoration, ambulance, canopies and other things needed for a burial but foolish me was looking for a clean work.
My friend joined the business as a graduate but what I did was use him to crack joke at every given opportunity. I made mockery of the guy for not even attempting to job hunt or leave the community in search of greener pastures, Little did I know that a time will come when the business will explode.
It happened that there came this concept of okeite(juju pot) and money ritual which started trending and getting massive engagements around 2017.
People were returning from all parts of the world to engage in the money ritual and get their own pot.
These came with promises of hitting sudden wealth, attracting large customers daily or meeting a mugu that will pay as high as $20k in romance scam.
People started returning to their roots and bringing in different deities into their family houses. The concept of all these was to attract wealth and prosperity.
The unfortunate native doctors or juju priests didn't dim it fit to educate the people of the repercussions of having such deities in the house. They didn't tell anyone that such deities require human sacrifice and will eventually start eating members of the family.
Now that the okeite has boomeranged, some families are burying 3 or more people within the space of 2 years. The summary of the story is that dead bodies became surplus and my friend who joined the funeral service business now sells more than 500 coffins within 6 months.
These dead bodies also include the people who were used for rituals and those who used them for the rituals. The brutal deities kill all at the end.
My friend is now a multi millionaire and has completed his duplex. If I had known that the business would have a nice future, I would have also joined.
Finally, I actually added ingredients to this story to make it sweet. There are elements of truth in it and lessons to be learnt if any I enjoyed every bit of it. Ntin like yahoo again, just rituals and more rituals. |

When I confronted her with the issue, she said she intentionally wanted to infect me because she was raped to be infected. She promised to go down many men. That was 2008.

Democrats increased their tally from 2022 by around 20 million votes.

| Politics › Obi Is Coming To Stop The Erosion Of Nigeria’s Commonwealth — NDC by Ofunaofu(op): 3:35pm On Nov 07 |
MR PRESIDENT, OBI IS COMING TO STOP THE EROSION OF NIGERIA’S COMMONWEALTH — NDC
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken careful note of President Bola Tinubu’s swipe at Mr. Peter Obi over the erosion menace in Anambra State. But we want to remind the President that the mission of the Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Peter Obi and his running mate Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is much bigger: to stop the rapid erosion of Nigeria’s commonwealth.
Obi-Kwankwaso mission is to address the growing contradiction between the gains expected from fuel subsidy removal, Mr. President’s seemingly one week, new loan and the persistent underfunding of national budgets.
Nigerians deserve to know what has happened to the promised fiscal benefits of subsidy removal, particularly against the backdrop of the administration’s frequent borrowing, increased revenue generation, poor debt-service-revenue-ratio and inadequate funding of critical public services like health and education.
Obi/Kwankwaso will not allow Nigeria to continue borrowing at an alarming rate, without corresponding benefits, while citizens endure worsening poverty, unemployment, insecurity and declining purchasing power.
Let’s look at the financial records of the two former governors - Mr. Obi left the equivalent of $500 million in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in dollar-denominated bonds when he left office in 2014 in Anambra State. In contrast, available Debt Management Office figures put Lagos State’s external debt at approximately $190.43 million at the end of 2007, when Mr. Tinubu handed over to his successor.
Apart from that, Mr. Tinubu aided the erosion of Lagos public finance by signing into law the pension law, granting former governors and deputies, including himself life time pensions, equivalent to 100% of the basic salary of the incumbent governor, houses in Lagos and Abuja, multiple vehicles, furniture allowance, utility allowance, entertainment allow, free medical care, house maintenance allowance, domestic staff provision, and other ridiculous benefits. The package was so outrageous that a successive governor was compelled to slightly review the law. In contrast, Mr. Obi never set up pension for governors in Anambra State
The Obi/Kwankwaso ticket offers Nigeria the golden opportunity to make fundamental departure from President Tinubu’s borrowing-dependent and erosion of public funds model of governance towards Obi/Kwankwaso prudent management of public resources, accountability, productive investment and measurable improvements in citizens’ welfare.
The debt-dependent economic model without accountability contributed to the decline and weakening of powerful empires and nations throughout history. From the Ottoman Empire and 19th-century Egypt to modern-day countries such as Argentina and Zambia, history offers repeated warnings about the dangers of excessive borrowing, unsustainable debt and poor fiscal management. If not stopped, Nigeria is in serious trouble.
And of course Peter Obi bravely tackled gully erosion in Anambra State. Obi helped attract and launch the World Bank Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) to the state. He mandated new state roads to include proper drainage connected to safe discharge points and executed local flood controls, such as concrete drains in Adazi Nnukwu, Amawbia, Umuoji, etc. He regularly lobbied the federal government for ecological intervention funds with accountability.
The bottom line is that Obi-Kwankwaso mission is about stopping fiscal recklessness and the erosion/decimation of Nigeria’s commonwealth, while providing economic opportunities for Nigerians today and for future generations.
Signed
Dr. Chiogo Constance Ikokwu
Spokesperson, NDC National Presidential Campaign Council |

| Politics › Did Peter Obi Really Run Away From Erosion? Examining Tinubu’s Claims Against Th by Limitednow(op): 10:55am On Nov 07 |
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s attempt to ridicule Peter Obi over the devastating gully erosion problem in Anambra State has raised an important question about political accountability: Did the former Anambra governor actually abandon the fight against erosion, or is the President presenting a complicated environmental challenge as evidence of leadership failure?
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Friday, November 6, 2026, Tinubu accused Obi of running away from erosion in Anambra, contrasting his record with what he described as his own success in confronting the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos.
“He ran away from erosion in Anambra State. He could not confront erosion. I, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, confronted the Atlantic Ocean,” the President declared.
It was a politically convenient attack, particularly at a time when opposition figures are positioning themselves against his re-election bid.
But political mockery does not replace historical evidence. And when the records are examined, Tinubu’s suggestion that Obi simply ran away from the erosion crisis becomes considerably more difficult to sustain.
OBI DID NOT IGNORE THE EROSION CRISIS
Anambra State has one of Nigeria’s most severe gully erosion problems. The crisis predates Peter Obi’s administration and has continued beyond his departure from office.
Communities have lost homes, roads, farmlands and valuable properties to expanding gullies. In some locations, entire stretches of land have been swallowed by erosion.
There is, however, a difference between failing to eliminate a problem and refusing to confront it.
Available historical records show that Obi’s administration took identifiable steps to address the crisis.
In December 2012, for instance, Obi personally inspected the Isulo erosion site, where the expanding gully threatened to cut off the Akpu–Ajalli–Isulo–Umunze road.
During the inspection, he identified poor road construction practices and inadequate drainage systems as contributing factors.
His administration also pursued a policy requiring proper engineering designs and drainage infrastructure for road construction.
These are not the actions of a governor who simply disappeared from a problem.
They may not have been sufficient to eliminate the crisis, but they contradict the suggestion that he refused to confront it.
THE NEWMAP INITIATIVE: A RECORD TINUBU’S ATTACK OVERLOOKS
Perhaps the most significant evidence against Tinubu’s allegation is Obi’s involvement in the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP), a major intervention designed to address erosion across several Nigerian states.
Former Minister of Environment, John Odey, publicly acknowledged in September 2014 that Obi was instrumental to the creation of the initiative.
According to Odey, Obi almost single-handedly pushed for the project when some of his fellow governors were initially reluctant.
More importantly, the World Bank Country Director at the time, Marie-Françoise Marie-Nelly, praised Obi’s commitment, disclosing that Anambra was the first state to pay its N500 million counterpart contribution.
The initiative was designed to bring together federal and state governments, the World Bank and affected communities to tackle erosion through engineering interventions and watershed management.
The Anambra NEWMAP programme was formally launched in June 2014, shortly after Obi left office in March. Nevertheless, the historical record establishes his administration’s involvement in advancing the initiative and providing counterpart funding.
That is hardly the record of someone who simply ran away from erosion.
BUT DID OBI SOLVE THE EROSION PROBLEM?
This is where the conversation requires honesty.
No serious assessment should suggest that Peter Obi completely conquered Anambra’s erosion problem.
The crisis remained significant after his administration. Several communities continued to suffer devastating environmental damage, while some intervention projects experienced delays and implementation challenges.
A December 2021 investigation by Radio Nigeria, for instance, documented poor-quality work, neglect and delays at several erosion intervention sites in Anambra, despite billions of naira having been committed to projects.
This demonstrates that the problem was far from resolved.
However, it also reinforces the need to distinguish between initiating interventions, implementing projects and achieving complete environmental rehabilitation.
Obi deserves scrutiny over what his administration achieved and what remained unfinished. But claiming that he ran away from erosion requires evidence of abandonment, not merely evidence that the problem persisted.
WHAT ABOUT TINUBU’S CLAIM OF CONFRONTING THE ATLANTIC OCEAN?
The President’s comparison also deserves examination.
Tinubu’s reference to confronting the Atlantic Ocean appears to centre on the coastal protection and reclamation initiatives associated with Eko Atlantic and the Great Wall of Lagos.
There is a legitimate historical record of the Lagos State Government’s involvement in coastal protection during his governorship.
In 2005, following severe storm damage around Bar Beach, the Lagos State Government awarded a contract for shoreline protection. A two-kilometre sea wall was completed in December 2006, before Tinubu left office in May 2007.
However, the larger Eko Atlantic development and construction of its Great Wall began in 2008, after Tinubu had left office.
The project is also a public-private partnership involving private investors and the Lagos State Government.
Therefore, while Tinubu can legitimately claim a role in initiating coastal protection efforts in Lagos, presenting the entire Eko Atlantic development as his personal accomplishment oversimplifies its history and financing.
THE DOUBLE STANDARD IN JUDGING GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE
There is another important question here.
If Tinubu believes that the persistence of erosion in Anambra proves Obi’s failure, should Nigerians apply the same standard to every environmental challenge that remains unresolved under his own administration?
Should the continued flooding of communities across Nigeria automatically mean that the President has run away from flooding?
Should the persistence of insecurity automatically mean that he has refused to confront insecurity?
Of course, the answer is no.
Governments must be judged by their policies, interventions, implementation records and measurable outcomes.
The same standard must apply to Peter Obi, Bola Tinubu and every other political officeholder.
It is also worth remembering that Tinubu’s eight years as Lagos governor and Obi’s eight years as Anambra governor involved different geographical realities, environmental challenges and available resources.
A fair comparison must examine what each administration inherited, what it invested, what it achieved and what it left unresolved.
THE VERDICT: TINUBU’S CLAIM DOES NOT STAND UP TO THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE
Based on the historical records examined, there is evidence that Peter Obi’s administration confronted Anambra’s erosion crisis through site inspections, drainage policies, engagement with the Federal Government and participation in the NEWMAP initiative.
There is equally evidence that the problem remained unresolved in several communities.
What is missing, however, is credible evidence to establish that Obi abandoned the challenge or simply ran away from it.
Tinubu’s allegation therefore confuses an incomplete outcome with an absence of effort.
That distinction matters.
The President is entitled to question Obi’s performance as governor. He is entitled to ask why erosion remained a major challenge in Anambra after eight years of his administration.
But if he chooses to make such accusations, Nigerians are equally entitled to demand evidence and examine his own record.
Political campaigns should be opportunities for candidates to demonstrate their achievements and explain their shortcomings, not occasions to rewrite history for applause.
If Obi’s erosion record deserves scrutiny, so does Tinubu’s coastal protection record. If Obi must account for unfinished projects, Tinubu must also account for the promises and projects that remain unfulfilled under his presidency.
Ultimately, Nigeria needs leaders who can defend their records with facts, not leaders who believe that ridiculing political opponents is an adequate substitute for explaining their own performance.
The question is not whether Peter Obi eliminated every gully in Anambra. He did not. The question is whether he ran away from the challenge. Available documentary evidence says otherwise.
