I’m happy to announce that you can now purchase my book on Amazon.
For now this is the only place it can be purchased from. After it’s launch—which will happen in a couple of months time—physical copies will be made available within Nigeria.
Tinubu winning made many people somber. On radio in PH people were phoning in and saying at this point Peter Obi is the only hope. I kid you not, when the campaign budgets are far spent, it is those whose life are at stake and know it that will do the campaign by word of mouth.
This Mohbad news is a sad one. Looking at what’s been revealed so far, you can see the political and drug intersection with trails leading all the way to Lagos State Govt House and even the “President.”
Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi Is Anti-Worker, Made Policies Unfavourable To Labour In Anambra As Governor — Democratic Socialist Movement | Sahara Reporters
I like that LP will be taunted with Osun results. Let it be fuel for those who have chosen to stand with PO and Labour to work hard while the others can continue to bask in their “structures.”
For what it is worth, my family is voting PO, that’s at least 10 votes from Gokana.
Sega has earned the right to be on whatever panel that is setup about SARS. He contributed to the struggle getting to this point. His effort over time has probably saved someone from death in the hands of SARS. You people shouldn't take that away him. E no go make sense.
I’m very grateful for Peter Obi’s emergence.
Apart from bringing about a sociopolitical awakening, it has helped expose and unravel people who hid behind their support for GEJ against Buhari, making it look like it was always about the progress of Nigeria or its masses.
Caught this fish at Goi (the entire community has been sacked because of oil pollution by the way), and what you see in the belly there is crude oil. That is what they eat, it is the same in many Niger Delta communities. No compensation. No health facilities. No water. Nothing.
Port Harcourt we're coming out on Monday for a peaceful procession in memory of those killed at Lekki. The
#EndSARS
movement continues. As you know, SARS are currently on rampage even in PH.
Went home yesterday to take part in the inauguration of LP in Deken community. The turnout was impressive, but what stood out for me was the number of people who normally have never been interested in party politics.
Swimming against the tides, but the odds are in our favor.
The Presidency is never available to comment on the violent activities of Fulani Herdsmen, but once there is a reaction, civil or otherwise, they immediately find their voice. Like T. Y. Danjuma said, "they collude".
GRV needs to win Lagos. It is as important as PDP needing to lose Rivers, and APC needing to be kicked out of Aso Rock.
I urge you all to act accordingly.
A strategy of the Nigerian army. They commit crimes against humanity and take the bodies away then ask this question. I don't know if 70 persons were killed or not, but I'm letting you know what the Nigerian army does.
Just remembered what INEC did in one of the Federal Constituencies in Phalga. LP won. They asked the EO to collect 50m and announce PDP. EO refused. They stopped announcement and INEC conducted “rerun” in ALL the units and declared PDP.
Meanwhile old result is still on IReV.
Fulani Herdsmen attacks had been going on for days in Agbonchia, Eleme and nothing happened. After many had been killed, and just as the community youths were organising to retaliate, soldiers from Bori Camp showed up to "keep the peace."
Coincidence? Hell no.
I feel for the Niger Delta; go to the community where the 3 million barrels comes from and you’ll see heart gnawing poverty. Poverty of the worst kinds; economic, mental, political, etc. May God almighty deliver us.
For Context: This is what a 3 million barrels capacity Vessel looks like👇🏽
At $100 per barrel, this vessel is worth over $300M, that is about 125B Naira. Image how much these private individuals have stolen from Nigeria 4 the past 9 years
Oh! Guess who is d petroleum minister?
You take a bath in Port Harcourt and the run off is pitch black. No, you didn't sleep in ash the previous night, it is soot mostly from artisanal crude refining. We're incubating different varieties of cancer for a people without the facilities to handle it.
God help us all.
A rep member from the North once stood on the floor of the house saying if the entire Niger Delta needed to be wiped out for the political class to have peace, then it should happen. These are the people you're up against. Know this and prepare accordingly. Forget logic.
#EndSARS
People who understand how the state Supreme Courts in the US functions all of a sudden don’t understand how regional Supreme Courts will work because Peter Obi said so.
There’s no intellectual straw grabbing you won’t see today. Get your popcorns!
With GEJ, it was always about his being Ijaw and nothing else. Forget the nonsense excuses of corruption. Can you compare the levels of corruption under GEJ and today? You can't, but everybody dey chest the incompetence. You see? If you like don't use your head and open your eyes
Things are bad. People are approaching 40 with no jobs and still even living with parents. It’s good for you, but best believe you’re in the minority.
People are trying to create hope for themselves with this movement. A life without hope is dead.
If you're in Port Harcourt and willing to step out today to join the nationwide
#EndSARS
demonstration, send a DM. Once we get 20 persons committed, we'll move. If not we'll wait for Tuesday. Please RT.
If you're coming out for the Port Harcourt protest on Tuesday come very prepared. You know how it is here. If police decides to move mad on that day, 2 seconds everything will change. We will not succumb.

The incoming Governor of Rivers State making it clear she will never step down for anyone, that instead PDAPC third force should step down for her.
I stan this iroko. Come March 18th, we’re voting Labour Party top to bottom.
So "Ex militants" are paid less than 100k monthly stipend and "repentant" Boko Haram members are paid 160k? Omo. Shame dey catch me everyday for this Niger Delta.
The Gbaramatu Genocide: May 15th, 2009.
In 2009 oil production had been cut significantly by militant activities of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) in their fight for justice, so the Yaradua government decided to go after Government Ekpemupolo.
I think people don’t consider that PO is the rallying point of the movement and not the movement itself when they make suggestions.
It’s a movement trying to displace the current system using PO as its arrowhead.
He can’t be anyone’s Vice even if he wanted to. It’s beyond him
The Destiny guy who attacked Gogo Jaja’s house is dead. Apparently he was a married man with kids and an MSc.
That’s what the “political elites” of Rivers State have in store for our young people, thuggery and death.
May God forgive his sins and May his soul Rest In Peace.
The Election that declared Peter Obi re-elected Governor in 2010 was reported here by International Observers as very fraudulent yet he defended the mandate & rebuffed the Observers. Hypocrisy at its peak!
Incumbent declared winner in flawed Nigeria poll
The poverty in the rural areas of Rivers State is heartbreaking. Humans shouldn’t have to live this wretched, not when resources from their own land funds an entire country.
Our DSS cannot detect a fake certificate from someone being screened for a position as sensitive as Finance Minister, but if it is to break the doors of judges at night and keep innocent Nigerians in underground torture chambers, they'll stand fit.
The concerted effort to dissuade young people from voting PO is unsettling if we’re being honest.
People who carry on about bad leadership and governance at every opportunity are all of sudden all about “pragmatism”, and how faith isn’t what faith is. What exactly is happening?
You all were busy with NDDC and missed the fact that President Buhari somehow granted resource control to majorly Northern states using the Presidential Artisanal Gold Mining Initiative (PAGMI).
Last week Dangote and BUA were fighting over the sugar market, today Ganduje "settled" them and CBN is announcing sugar on its restrictions list.
Increase cost of sugar put on the shoulders of the poor masses in a 20 plus inflation rate country for two men to stop fighting.
The reaction on the TL is why I told someone that all you have to do is transport 50 persons from the Niger Delta every month to tour Abuja and come back. By the 24th month, if the country isn't burning then my name is not Nubari.
I felt it when I first step foot there.
I remember it was the DSS that kidnapped Jones Abiri, an independent news publisher from Bayelsa, held him incommunicado for two years, and tried to frame him up as a militant who wanted to “bomb Aso Rock.”
Nigeria’s security agencies are criminal organizations.
"The Nigerian army is just killing for fun now." Sent chills down my spine. That's credible information I just got about Oyigbo. Apparently those engaging the army have long gone, and it's now civilians being killed. A war crime is ongoing, probably worse than Lekki.
#EndSARS
Before militancy started, there was Ken Saro-Wiwa who opted for peaceful methods. He turned down the position of Minister of Energy from Sani Abacha, and he was judicially killed for standing for the Ogonis. We remember him, and 8 others who were killed, on the 10th of November.
I’ve been informed that the cleanup of the Niger Delta is captured in the PO manifesto as “Environmental Integrity” which will go beyond the cleanup.
I’ve also been informed that PO will address these issues himself when he comes to the region to campaign.
I’m happy PO’s manifesto is more detailed about restructuring than any of the others. I await what the new arguments against his candidature will be.
He’s competent.
Equity sake, it is the turn of the SE.
He has plans to restructure.

Murderers were released from Port Harcourt prison just to execute PDPs rigging in Rivers State on Saturday.
If not for the fact Don Wanny got himself on CNN and was killed by security agents, he would’ve most likely played a major part in what happened in Rivers State.
Ken Saro-Wiwa's Final Statement to Military Tribunal
My lord,
We all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly endowed land,distressed by their political marginalization and economic strangulation,
Have you like taken time out to find out what the economic situation at the “grassroots” in Rivers State is like?
Or you think it is an “as e dey pain dem, e go dey sweet us” something?
Crazy idea, but if I’m BAT, I’ll put Wike in the economic advisory council as a member. Not a lot of people have a grasp of the grassroots like he does and he knows how to relate.
When Ibrahim Tanko after becoming CJN went to Zaria to tell his people that "we now have the numbers" you guys were speaking English and not paying attention.
If a nationwide curfew is put in place and we have to retreat, we will do that gracefully. Once they lift it, we organise and fall out again. We must adapt and adapt quick. They cannot stop an idea whose time has come.

LP Rivers State Executives today made a live video where they declared support for the PDP Guber candidate, Sim Fubara.
Not surprised one bit. If they could betray PO during campaigns, they can betray Beatrice Itubo.
Anyways, vote Beatrice Itubo for Governor of Rivers State.
This here is dishonesty. Trying to rewrite history because you’re very much aware of your own role in the entire thing.
Imagine saying GEJ was arrogant or didn’t care about people dying.
Until we start saying the truth in this country, I’m sorry but we’re not going to make it.
Jonathan removed himself from office. People rallied round him in 2011. They voted for one of their own with no shoe. People demonstrated for him to be made Acting President. He got into office and became arrogant. He watched people being killed and did nothing. Not even to
A Bobi Wine in Nigeria would be ridiculed by other young Nigerians. The lack of self belief here is sad. Instead of young people to challenge the system, they'd rather go form one Youth group, and I'm talking youth groups or youth wings of 40 year olds and above.
That Malaifa's interview basically says the APC (Northern branch) went and recruited jihadists prior to 2015 to start a war if they lost and they're what we now call "bandits".
The main point for me is these people brought in foreigners to invade this country. Define treason.
Peter Obi’s manifesto is the only manifesto that address the important issue of a comprehensive cleanup of the Niger Delta. Vote who has your interest at heart and not people whose focus is to plunder our land and resources further.
Follow who know road.
You see how emboldened government has become and are now picking up
#EndSARS
protesters? It is because of the lull in protests after Lekki.
They succeeded in planting fear and now they're closing the gaps. If a major protest doesn't start soon, wahala for all of us.
I like this. Things like this will speed up the much needed unity between the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria, which will play a role in what will become of Nigeria in the not so distant future.
People will no longer pretend to be blind and the necessary alliances will be made.
Lol Nyako, the man that wrote a memo I think to Northern military officers telling them GEJ was trying to wipe out the North with is Boko Haram fight. Fun times.
It is gladdening to receive Admiral Murtala Nyako, former governor of Adamawa State, at my residence today on a courtesy visit. It was refreshing having a useful conversation with him about critical national issues. Thanks for the visit, sir. -AA

People not factoring this are not putting all the pieces on the table. Yes, your party has money? But does your party know that the streets are disillusioned and angry?
Money will not play a significant role in the 2023 voting patterns that’ll emerge.
Don’t let anyone gaslight you, you’re fighting for your life literally. Stand on the side of the man whose entire disposition and utterances points to the very fact that he is fighting for and with you.
Ignore or press the neck of those who want to reduce this to game theory.
Man has been too consistent even when it appears it is against his party.
I rate it, not Niger Delta Governors meeting to agree on a Southern President and then embarrassing our people.
One is now crying with back up criers for Vice President talamabout “I’m in charge.”
One thing that puts a smile on my face here is the youths of the Middle Belt.
They saw that the future of their region was on their backs, and they’ve risen to that challenge and have not looked back ever since.
Wish same for my people here, if only they can see.
God speed.
There’ve been attempts to portray gold mining in Nigeria as a “Northern” thing. This is FALSE. Nigeria’s Gold Belt actually stretches across several parts of the North West and SOUTH WEST, as well as several smaller occurrences outside of these two regions. cc.
@Saatah
Moses Jitoboh , an Ijaw man, was supposed to be the Inspector General of Police, but because he isn't Muslim or from the the core North, he has been denied that.
Before the end of June, this country will hear from and feel the pulse of the Niger Delta. Before the end of June.
People who prior to now said PO will make a good President are all of a sudden saying the opposite.
It means that they would’ve supported Buhari or even BAT if they were on the other side. It had nothing to do with principles, it was always about personal interests.
The year Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 Ogonis were hanged for what they didn't do, was the same year Sanusi was in prison for the murder of Gideon Akaluka. Where is Sanusi, and where is Ken Saro-Wiwa?
You think it is an issue of PVC? If you like allow them use your head for you.
Ayourb has not won that money, Bashir has not won it, Tolu Ogunlesi has not won it, Lauretta has not won it. Even the men and women saddled with the responsibility of packaging the President can't win a 150k prize by telling us one project Buhari has started and completed. Fam!
Take a moment and think about the fact that, N150,000 "prize" money has been set aside for whoever can point to ONE project started and completed by this government, and up until now, no one has won that money. That is after 3 years and over 7,000,000,000,000(Trillion) borrowed.
When we start taxing states based on their population is when we will know Nigeria's real population. For now, everything you see is solely for the purpose of getting more money from the FG.
We no reach 190 million for this country.
What stops Niger Delta Governors coming together to facilitate a comprehensive audit of the Niger Delta environment and a comprehensive cleanup? Emptiness.
You cannot give what you don’t have. But an Anambra man is on TV talking about my environment and what he’ll do.
23 years ago today, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Saturday Dobee, Nordu Eawo, Daniel Gbooko, Paul Levera, Felix Nuate, Baribor Bera, Barinem Kiobel, and John Kpuine were judicially murdered and their bodies doused in acid by the Sani Abacha led SMG.
We gradually moved from crowd funding hospital bills to crowd funding ransom money in Nigeria.
That adage or whatever it is, about putting a frog in cold water, and then on fire, and watching it boil to death without even knowing it. That is us.
I like that this campaign season is once again unraveling “activists” for what they really are. You never know that people feed off Nigeria’s dysfunction till you try to challenge that same dysfunction.
The Nigerian intellectual is a fraud.
When Wike ran PO street on the 25th for BAT, Asari was elated. They’ve ran him and his “Kalabari Governor” agenda street and he is crying.
Congratulations to all involved.
Just like what happened in the Presidential Election to Peter Obi of the Labour Party, INEC and the Police are working to ensure selected candidates win. - Rotimi Amaechi

In Sudan, it was the Muslim North violently oppressing the Christian South for decades, and then God in his mercy freed the South. Now, the North has turned on itself and the world isn't even interested
Let the oppressors in Nigeria watch and take notes, it is coming.
If you’re someone who understands Rivers people, you’ll understand that PDP is gone if indeed Wike is now with BAT.
You cannot go against Rivers people and win. Amaechi attempted it in 2015 and 2019. Congratulations to Beatrice Itubo in advance.
The grouse against GEJ was ethnic.
Some out of the lot, not aware, saw it as doing “right”.
Pay attention to the section now hell bent on voting APC again and how they have hinged their campaigns on ethnic loyalties.
In ‘15 they could hide it, but today they can’t hide it.
This is the first time in my life I’m hearing of the convoy of the President of Nigeria getting attacked by armed men.
The audacity alone should tell you something. Those who carried it out have the capacity to do more than that.
Port Harcourt, our own protest cannot be one day o. If the entire country is up and out, we sef we must be up and out. No dulling. Let's pick a date again.
