I had to speak my mind, to @SkyNews’s @BarbaraGSerra, about the treatment of Omar Artan, @GaindeYi and several officials and fans from #Africa, who have come, are coming or not able to come to the @FIFAWorldCup.
In 1979, it was Awolowo vs Shagari vs Azikiwe. Awolowo was the best candidate. But he didn’t win & #Nigeria paid for it. In 2023, it’s @officialABAT vs @atiku vs @PeterObi. Obi is the best candidate. Let’s not make the same mistake in 2023 that was made in 1979. #VoteWisely
Since 1960, #Nigeria has NEVER had a people’s president. I hope, I really hope, that when @PeterObi is elected as President of Nigeria, he will be exactly that. 🙏🏾
Dear #Nigeria, this is what a Kenyan colleague, who is at the #OlympicGames posted in our group chat, after @FavOfili’s 200m final:
Favour Ofili went through the mixed zone crying, talked about how the last few days have been trying for her with all the saga around realising
Tell me how this was not a straight red card, for the @WACofficiel player? @AlAhly have every right to be aggrieved. How could Libyan Referee Mutaz Ibrahim have missed this? How could the VAR room have missed this, in the #TotalEnergiesCAFCL final, of all games… 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The @PeterObi phenomenon has laid one thing bare - hatred for #Igbo people, from a worrying number of ‘fellow’ #Nigerians, who refuse to accept that a person of Igbo extraction can legitimately be president of #Nigeria. This is deeply sad and disturbing…
Just because @PeterObi wants to be president, a very legitimate ambition, there is an increase in #Igbophobia and outright hatred. #Nigeria has to be better than this!!!!!!!
How does @CAF_Online play two successive #CAFCL finals in #Morocco? No other country in #Africa can stage the final? None in sub-Saharan Africa??? This is a shame and disgrace, for the CAF exco! 😐😏
Did @KashimSM of @OfficialAPCNg really say this, on @ARISEtv? “@PeterObi can only become a President in Igboland but definitely not in Nigeria.” 😳😲I can understand you have to undermine your opponent. But to say something so sectional, so tribalistic? Haba!
Do we realise that #Lagos, compared to places like Cotonou, Accra, Dakar and Kigali, not to mention places like Rabat, Tunis and Cairo, is one of the worst places to live in? As one that has been in Lagos since 1979 and has visited all the other cities, except Dakar, I can tell
Dear @thenff, I am made to understand that you have paid the @NGSuper_Falcons players just ten days of their $100 per day #FIFAWWC camp allowance and that you told them that the remaining five days will be paid to their bank accounts. This is the situation that existed after
