BREAKING: This is in Trump's back yard. Washington DC No Kings Day Protest. This is just the start of the day.
It is absolutely unbelievable how many people are turning out for this. I love how everyone is staying peaceful. It's exactly what Trump doesn't want.

BREAKING: A judge has just ruled that immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters.
THANK YOU JUDICIARY!

Peter Obi had already called for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as far back as last year. (June, 2024). He described his continued detention as illegal. It was even reported by Tinubu's Television.
Peter Obi spoke out for Kanu when many people were not speaking. He spoke out for Kanu when it was not even convenient but he spoke!
I don't understand this sudden love for Kanu by some certain people and trying to pull Obi into what I don't understand.
Obi has always made his position known during the elections, which is that he will negotiate with all agitators including Kanu. The issue of Kanu was asked him in almost every interview and he maintained his position.

Dear MAGA—guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

Sent to me by a dear friend and colleague yesterday. I thought it was spot on…

That was Wole Soyinka in the year 2010 assessing Nigeria progress since independence. In 2025 situations are much worse than 2010; we didn’t hear about his assessment during independence but he gladly accepted the honour of national theatre being renamed after him. Meanwhile his promise to assess BAT government after two years has gone into voicemail.

So Peter Obi spearheaded the creation of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) in 2012 to combat gully erosion and flood around states in Nigeria. He also made the first counterpart funding for the project.
Peter Obi is a visionary leader

There has never been such a nepotistic administration in the history of Nigeria. Tinubu is indeed a master strategist! 😂

Hey @grok,
Can you list 30 most corrupt governors in Nigeria with their State from 1999 till date.
If your leaders name is here, don’t ever spark again when I talk on this street. 📌

We will only support a coalition in which Obi will be its flagbearer. Anything else is tantamount to failure.

If you remember, students of dentistry,Unical reported this case to me. I intervened and charged MR OBI to do something.
I am glad this is happening

Back in 2012 when I lived in Bradford, I applied for the Standard Chartered Nigeria management trainee program and my first round interview was in Manchester. I literally drove an hour up the M62 to attend an interview at Deansgate for a job in Lagos (I didn't make it past that stage because I had no NYSC yet).
This wasn't our parents' experience sometime in 1976 - this was 2012. Literally 5 minutes ago. Yet if you tell someone in Nigeria today that barely 12 years ago, along with my entire friend group of Nigerian international graduates in the UK, I voluntarily returned to Nigeria in search of a better life, it will sound absurd.
Meanwhile over the same period, my Chinese housemates from uni have been exploring the world, earning full value for their labour, and living their best lives. Up until around 2017, they used to occasionally still invite me to join them on their latest group trip to Bangkok or Phnom Penh or Jakarta.
But here we are. I was having a chat with a (foreign) friend this morning complaining about Nigeria's economic situation and she told me that it's been a boon for remote employers because they now know that high quality Nigerian talent is available on the cheap.
Apparently her Nigerian contractors get paid $500/month and they're happy for the job. These are grown men with families. My proposed training allowance as a 24-year-old cadet pilot back in 2014 (no CPL/PPL, no hours, no type rating, nothing) was $1,200/month.
It's the most frustrating thing in the world having to navigate Nigeria's information asymmetry because you can be sure that there will be dozens of people in the comments who are hearing of all this for the first time. Nigerians are the only people in the world who are so information-resistant that they can experience the economic boom of a lifetime with obvious signs in their own lives, but you have to convince them that they are experiencing good times and they shouldn't pour petrol over everything and burn it down.
And sometimes despite your entreaties, they still vote for the real life Col. H. Stinkmeaner from Daura to come and destroy their own widespread prosperity, because a white guy from Washington paid some yellow beret or hijabi-wearing numpties to tell them that their prosperity is "fuelled by corruption" and "caused by high oil price."
I don't see any hope.
Many Nigerians don’t realise that during OBJ and GEJ’s time, Nigerian-based companies were travelling to Europe and the US to recruit Nigerians— on the spot interview, offers and free flights to Nigeria, with excellent working conditions. Why wouldn’t @DavidHundeyin be angry?
