Born before television entered ordinary homes, he now keeps in touch on WhatsApp.
Today, my father, Ogbueshi, is 100 years old.
On November 9, 1926, the world he entered was almost unrecognisable. Queen Elizabeth II was a six-month-old baby. Lufthansa, Mercedes-Benz and McKinsey were newly established. Television had just been publicly demonstrated. In Nigeria, the Union Jack flew over a British colony, and the Daily Times had only begun publication.
He was 33 when Nigeria became independent. He was 39 when the first military coup came in 1966. He lived through the tragedy of Biafra, the return to civilian rule in 1979, and the long years of military government. In 1999, he witnessed the restoration of democracy, and he has now seen 27 unbroken years of it.
He has travelled from handwritten letters to the telephone, and from the telephone to the smartphone. Today, he chats on WhatsApp, transfers money on his banking app, and still reads the news online. A man born under colonial rule now moves with ease through the age of artificial intelligence.
Yet his life has not been made of change alone. He has buried all his siblings and outlived his two wives. He has known the joy of raising a family and the sorrow of saying goodbye to those he loved. Through it all, he has remained steadfast.
His mind is clear. His health, within the limits of age, is remarkable. No terminal illness. No debilitating disease.
As a teenager, I never imagined he would see 70. A hundred was beyond my imagination.
November 9 has always been special to our family. My youngest brother was born on this day, and on this date, I married the love of my life at the Anglican Cathedral of the Advent, Life Camp, Abuja.
This morning, we will gather around him and sing his favourite hymn, How Great Thou Art. On December 27, we will gather at St Andrew's Church, Obosi, where he was baptised, to thank Almighty God for a century of mercy.
A hundred years ago, the world was different. Nations have risen, empires have fallen, and inventions once unimaginable have become ordinary.
Through it all, one thing has remained constant: God's grace.
Happy 100th birthday, Papa.
Your life is our testimony.

20 years ago at around 5:30 am, Anambra lawmakers impeached Peter Obi because he refused to inflate the state budget and share public money with politicians. If you are criticizing this man on the internet I want you to sit down and think about that for a moment.
A governor was removed because he refused to spend money recklessly, refused to satisfy political godfathers and refused to turn public funds into a settlement for lawmakers.
They accused him of gross misconduct because he drove a Peugeot 406, bought furniture locally and spent far less than the hundreds of millions approved for renovating the Governor's office and Lodge. They thought they could force him out and end his political journey. They were wrong.
The courts overturned his impeachment, and the Supreme Court later reaffirmed his right to complete his constitutionally guaranteed tenure.
Twenty years have passed, but one thing remains clear, Peter Obi's refusal to share public money with the corrupt political class was enough to make him their sworn enemy.
There are very few politicians in Nigeria like Peter Obi and I strongly believe that God has given us another opportunity to get things right in this country. Nigerians, please, do not take this opportunity for granted.

If you know anyone who plans to work for INEC in the coming elections, or anyone who is a corper that may work for INEC next year, please kindly send them this video to watch.
It is better not to show up at all, than to collect money and rig elections for politicians. These animals in power will pay you peanuts and watch you get killed by an angry populace who are livid that their votes are being stolen.
Please don’t be a tool in the hands of evil men who want to be in power at all costs. I beg you all. People are angry. Don’t lose your life over crumbs. Don’t rig elections for politicians that don’t even think your life is worth anything.

It is the very height of imbecility, to invest time and energy, in an effort to awaken the man who is determined to pretend to be asleep..🇳🇬🙄

There is something remarkable about the way Peter Obi connects with ordinary Nigerians. His appeal goes beyond politics, party affiliations and the pursuit of power. It speaks to something deeper which to me is the desire to see leadership that is humble, accessible and grounded in the everyday struggles of the people.
Perhaps this is what other politicians in Nigeria needs to learn from his life, you don't have to live above the people to lead them. You don't have to surround yourself with luxury to command respect. You don't have to wait until election season to remember that the people exist.
Leadership is not just about occupying an office, it is about the strong relationship you build with the people long after the campaign posters have faded. Peter Obi loves Nigerians with all his heart, and Nigerians love him too.

I support the death penalty for drug lords.
I support the death penalty for fake drug merchants & counterfeit manufacturers.
I support the death penalty for election riggers.
I support the death penalty for politicians who steal government funds & commit genocide.
These four groups are enemies of Nigeria.

APC thugs have killed a supporter of Peter Obi in Enugu state. So far APC have killed in Kano, Kaduna, Osun, Abuja, Enugu, Kogi, and Edo state.
APC is not campaigning to win election. APC is killing opposition members to win election.
The world should take note.
Wow...
After that MOU they signed today, Nigeria will be the next subject of a smug conversation like this between 2 colonisers from Epsteinstan. By the time they're done with us, we'll be like Mongolia - a nation that once mattered.
I'm very happy for all of us. Since we decided to be collectively foolish, all of us are going to die together as fools. Including me. No exceptions.

“My wife has her own business and her own money, so what is my business if she buys expensive items with her money? The bags and shoes my wife wears, I don’t even know how much they cost.
“In fact, she is actually a bit less sophisticated now. She used to be far more sophisticated before I became governor. I’m managing public money, and as long as she lives her own life without interfering with my management of public funds, good luck to her.
“I didn’t even have an Office of the First Lady while I was governor. I don’t celebrate my own birthday, but I don’t stop people from celebrating. As long as you don’t ask me to pay the birthday bills, I will even attend if you invite me.”
—Mr Peter Obi

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
