The violent attack on popular TikToker DJ Chicken in Sagamu, following a minor accident involving him and a commercial motorcycle rider popularly known as an Okada rider, is deeply disturbing and totally unacceptable. No misunderstanding or road incident especially one so minor should ever escalate into mob violence or jungle justice. No individual deserves to be beaten, humiliated, or subjected to degrading treatment under any circumstance. Violence does not settle disputes, it only erodes peace, fuels fear, and undermines the rule of law in our society. I call on our highly respected and visionary monarch, a symbol of peace, progress, and fairness across Remo land; HRM Oba Babatunde Ajayi, Paramount Ruler of Remo Kingdom, as well as the Police Area Commander, Sagamu, and the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of #Sagamu, to ensure a thorough investigation into this incident. The culprits must be identified, brought to book, and made to face the full weight of the law. Such decisive action will send a strong message that mob violence and jungle justice have no place in Sagamu, Ogun State, or Nigeria at large. Sagamu and indeed our dear nation must continue to uphold a culture of law, order, dignity, and peaceful conflict resolution. We stand firmly against mob action in all forms. Justice and due process must always prevail.

High Chief predicted it rightly but how do we expect Serah not to be upset with a lady who suddenly appeared from nowhere, took over her position, and even gained Peter Obi’s favor ahead of her? Naturally, feelings of resentment and frustration are bound to arise when someone unexpectedly loses influence and relevance to a newcomer. Serah should understand that nobody with wisdom tries to outshine or undermine the person who elevated them just like her with an excessive attitude, I know it all attitude and constant attempts to overshadow their benefactor often damage relationships and eventually make such a person politically irrelevant just like her own ways. The result is what Serah is facing today 😂

Whenever we criticize this man, his supporters scream hatred, tribalism or bias. But how can someone aspiring to be President of Nigeria give answers that are this shallow, illogical and completely devoid of substance and still expect to escape criticism? Even a Local Government Chairman would think twice before responding to serious questions in such a disastrous manner. Yet, we are expected to entrust the affairs of over 200 million people to someone who struggles with basic policy questions. Nobody would have criticized him for simply admitting he had no answer. It is far better to say, "I don't know," than to step into the public arena and repeatedly expose a shocking lack of depth and preparedness. This is not hatred. This is accountability. Anyone seeking the highest office in the land must be ready to face scrutiny when their own words continually raise questions about their competence.

This morning, I was returning from a condolence visit here in Lagos. A townsman had sadly lost his wife to the cold hands of death. After spending a good part of the day there, I decided to drive straight to my office instead of going back home first as I had originally planned. Lagos life no dey wait for anybody—if you blink twice, hold-up will use your destiny to do rehearsal. Barely ten minutes into the journey, I was flagged down by the Nigerian police. In true Naija fashion, they used the vehicle in front of mine as human shield to stop me—as if we were filming an action movie. I was about to properly park, but the officer immediately started demanding my driver’s license right there in the middle of the expressway. I politely asked him to allow me park first so I wouldn’t cause obstruction, but oga said no. Before I could say “Officer, calm down,” traffic had already started building up like JAMB website during registration season. After plenty back and forth, he finally allowed me to park halfway along the Isheri-Idimu Expressway. I handed him my driver’s license. He checked it and returned it. Next, he asked for my vehicle license. I gave it to him. Then he requested for roadworthiness. I handed that over too. Suddenly, his mood changed like NEPA light during rainy season. He flared up and started shouting that I did not give him all the documents at once. I was confused. I simply gave him exactly what he asked for, one after the other. But apparently, in his own constitution, I was supposed to have read his mind and submitted my entire family tree. He began yelling that I was wasting his time. I asked him calmly, “Officer, how exactly am I wasting your time?” The next statement shocked me: “I will change it for you o! In fact, come and open your boot!” At that point, tempers were rising on both sides. I told him, perhaps with more confidence than wisdom, to go and open it himself. But quickly remembering that what Nigerian Police officers cannot do does not exist, I decided to come down and open it myself before my village people would be accused. He searched my boot like he was looking for the missing budget of the federation. He scattered everything. Then he entered the car, opened compartments, checked under seats—searching for what was not lost. Meanwhile, while he was performing his ministry, I was quietly recording him with my phone. When he finally realized I was videoing him, ah! Ladies and gentlemen, the atmosphere changed immediately. Heaven did not fall, but hell applied for overtime. He insulted me.He called me names.He raised his voice. But trust me, it was aura for aura, egusi for egusi, pepper for pepper, back to sender with express delivery. At the end of the day, the devil searched but found nothing on the son of man. No hidden “something for the boys.” Just an innocent man trying to survive Lagos and reach his office in peace. Eventually, I entered my car and drove off, leaving behind the drama, the dust, and one very disappointed officer whose fishing expedition returned no catch. Moral lessons: First, integrity is expensive, but it saves you from unnecessary fear. When your hands are clean, your confidence becomes your defense. Second, power without courtesy becomes oppression. Uniform should command respect, not fear. Third, wisdom matters. In Nigeria, sometimes you need the patience of Job, the boldness of David, and the prayer life of Elijah just to survive one police checkpoint. And finally, life itself is unpredictable. From attending a condolence visit in the morning to almost acting Season 2 of “Police Wahala” by afternoon, one thing is clear: every day in Lagos deserves its own Nollywood documentary.

Let's set aside the fact that I support and believe in President Tinubu's leadership and look at this purely from a logical perspective. This womam is far more mature, composed, articulate and knowledgeable than MamaPee, even though both of them project a similar level of energy and passion. Just observe the calm, measured and intelligent manner in which she analyzed and defined Peter Obi without losing her composure or deviating from the facts. In contrast, MamaPee's presentations are often dominated by emotional outbursts, constant shouting and endless threats and curses that distract from the substance of her arguments. What stands out about this woman is her ability to remain collected while presenting her case with clarity, confidence and supporting facts. The way she systematically laid out her reasons for describing Peter Obi as a political failure was both compelling and easy to follow. Whether one agrees with her conclusions or not, the delivery was disciplined, fact-driven and intellectually engaging. That, itself is difficult to argue against.

While some are bitterly crying and lamenting on what is perceive to be impossible, calling for #OccupyINEC and #TinubuMustGo, others who believe they have witnessed a measure of progress under the leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu took to the streets with visible joy and renewed hope, celebrating with a lively performance from a RaRa crooner.

They grossly underestimated Nyesom Ezenwo Wike thinking they could diminish his influence. Instead, he has only grown stronger with each passing day. He and Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON and other APC South South Governors had designed themselves as the political weapon against African Democratic Congress in 2027. Believe it or not, across the entire South-South region, the #ADC will struggle to secure even 25% of the vote whether Peter Obi runs as a candidate or as running mate to Atiku Abubakar or even in a ticket with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso . Wike the man on fire nobody can check am..

For those who foolishly convince themselves that every criticism of Peter Obi is proof of his relevance, they fundamentally misunderstand the issue. Peter Obi is not constantly criticized because he is indispensable to Nigeria's political future; he is criticized because he repeatedly says and does things that attract legitimate criticism. Politics is not a sanctuary from scrutiny. Anyone seeking to lead over 200 million people must be prepared to face tough questions, intense examination, and public accountability. No politician deserves endless applause, and no presidential aspirant should be placed on a pedestal beyond criticism. One of the primary reasons Peter Obi continues to attract criticism is his reckless relationship with facts. Time and again, he makes claims that collapse under the weight of verification. His recent story about spending days at the University of Southern California with a faculty supposedly dominated by ex-convicts including a dean who allegedly spent 28 years in prison and a registrar who also served a lengthy jail term was exposed as false amongst several others. When a man seeking the highest office in the country repeatedly circulates questionable stories and unverified claims, criticism is not persecution; it is a necessary response. Beyond that, Peter Obi has perfected the art of complaining without convincing solutions. He is quick to identify problems, quick to blame others and quick to paint gloomy pictures, yet consistently struggles to present comprehensive, practical and realistic alternatives. Anybody can diagnose problems; leadership is measured by the ability to solve them. Endless lamentation is not a development agenda. What is even more troubling is the obsession with negativity that defines much of his political messaging. No matter the progress recorded, no matter the achievements delivered, no matter the improvements made, everything must be dismissed, ridiculed, or deliberately ignored. Every success becomes a failure in his narrative. Every effort becomes worthless. Every development must be blackened to sustain a predetermined political storyline. Peter Obi's politics often gives the impression of a man who believes that because he failed, everyone else must fail as well. Rather than inspiring hope, encouraging confidence, or presenting superior alternatives, he appears more invested in forecasting doom, exaggerating setbacks, and undermining achievements. His political capital is built less on solutions and more on pessimism. Equally disturbing is the conduct of many of his supporters, whose devotion frequently resembles fanaticism rather than rational political engagement. A significant number seem incapable of separating facts from emotions or objective analysis from blind loyalty. Any criticism, no matter how valid, is automatically branded an attack. Any inconvenient fact is rejected. Any opposing viewpoint is demonized. For many of them, political loyalty has replaced critical thinking. The reality is straightforward: Peter Obi is criticized because his statements, conduct,inconsistencies and political approach invite criticism. He is not a victim of scrutiny; he is a beneficiary of the same democratic accountability that every public figure faces. If Peter Obi wants to lead Nigeria, he must learn to defend his claims with facts, answer difficult questions without excuses, and subject himself to the same standards he demands of others. Leadership is not about perpetual complaints, endless blame or cultivating a personality cult. It is about competence, credibility, responsibility and results. No politician is above accountability, and Peter Obi deserves no special exemption from it. #hallelujah

Asiwaju did not enjoy this level of structured support across the Eastern states and some South South states in 2023. He does not control Governors, Senators, or members of the Federal and State Houses of Assembly. He does not determine how elections are conducted. Not a single soldier has left his camp. Instead, there is a significant influx of capable and influential individuals who were not part of his 2023 victory but are now fully committed to securing an even greater victory in 2027. If you still doubt his chances, then perhaps you are choosing not to see what is already written clearly on the wall. Bola Till 2031.

GOVERNOR HOPE UZODINMA GAVE ALL IMO RETURNEES FROM SOUTH AFRICA 1M EACH. But unfortunately, most of them are among the IPOB members who have always hated him. Called him different names just because he's from the APC and said "IPOB can't continue operating in Imo." See how God wants to catch them all. They came back after being driven home by South Africans, and nothing to start life with. That Governor thy have always hated wants to help them start a life. I hope they'll also be shocked to know they won't even recognize the road to their villages because of the amazing infrastructural projects of the government there. Ugoji Maximillian

I watched this video of Hon. Ben Nwankwo, and honestly, I wept for Ndigbo. The man drove home a point so forcefully and convincingly that it was impossible to ignore. He made it abundantly clear that the reality of Nigerian politics is far different from what many people in the South-East have chosen to believe. His first message was simple but profound: a President can be elected in Nigeria without the political support of the South-East. In other words, the region alone neither possesses the electoral strength to install a President nor the capacity to prevent one from emerging. Whether people like to hear it or not, that is the political reality he laid bare. His second message was even more striking. He drew a clear distinction between being influential and being loud. According to him, influence is the ability to shape outcomes, build alliances, negotiate interests and command political relevance. Noise, on the other hand, is merely making the loudest headlines and dominating social media conversations without translating any of that energy into tangible political results or If Igbo man have some pieces of money they begin to fly Private Jets, drive Royce Rolls, it is being loud and the next you see is convoy that is not influence but loud. That point hit me particularly hard because many people have confused noise for influence. They assume that because a group is vocal, it automatically means it is politically powerful. The two are not the same. A region can trend daily on social media and still lack the political leverage required to achieve its objectives. Sadly, some people in the South-East have convinced themselves that the path to producing a President lies in emotional rhetoric, ethnic solidarity alone and constant agitation. Meanwhile,the few voices within the region calling for strategic political engagement, alliance-building and reintegration into the mainstream political process are often attacked, insulted and bullied into silence. The truth is that politics is a game of numbers, negotiation, relationships and influence not emotion. If Pres Bola Tinubu were not a nationalist in his approach to governance, many of the major road and infrastructure projects currently ongoing in the South-East could easily have been redirected to regions that overwhelmingly supported him politically. He was fully aware that the South-East largely voted for their brother Peter Obi, in the 2023 election. Yet those projects were not abandoned. That fact reinforces the point made by Hon. Ben Nwankwo. During the election, the South-East overwhelmingly voted for their own son, Peter Obi. However, Tinubu still emerged President without winning the region. Whether one likes it or not, that reality demonstrates that political success in Nigeria is built through broad national coalitions and strategic alliances rather than regional sentiment alone. He retairated by saying the Igbos can't help and they can't hinder. In my view, one of the major reasons the South-East continues to struggle politically at the national level is the tendency to place ethnic considerations above broader political realities. Politics has become overly centered on tribal interests instead of building the nationwide partnerships required to secure influence at the highest levels. No region can isolate itself politically and still expect to dominate national politics. Influence is earned through engagement, negotiation, coalition-building, and strategic participation. Hon. Ben Nwankwo's message was uncomfortable, but sometimes the most uncomfortable truths are the ones that need to be heard the most. Until more people begin to distinguish between being influential and merely being loud, the South-East may continue to find itself making plenty of noise while achieving very little politically. #NewDay
