Being a Nigerian is a full time job
Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has lamented over being a citizen of Nigeria as he describes it as a full-time job.
The legendary actor, Pete Edochie who celebrated his 76th birthday yesterday has taken to his page to share some observations he has made during the time of elections and the aftermath. According to the actor Pete Edochie, being a Nigerian comes with an inherent perpetual anxiety adding that it’s a full-time’s job to be a citizen of Nigeria. Pete Edochie further questioned INEC over the results of the just-ended 2023 elections. He shared on his page; Fellow Nigerians,
I have observed the events in our Nation for the past few weeks as it unfolds and I have chosen a special day like my 76th year on earth to address that in a few words. I have deduced that: – Being a Nigerian is a full-time job
-Being a Nigerian comes with an inherent perpetual anxiety – We need an explanation
– Or is it all REALLY FOR OUR OWN GOOD? – Was the Presidential election an ELECTION or a SELECTION?
– We need EXPLANATION as a NATION – Chief Pete Edochie 2023
Your support will not be in vain — Peter Obi assures [Full Speech]
Following the 2023 presidential elections, the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi, addressed the nation while assuring justice in his full speech. He spoke about the concerns that were troubling Nigerians after INEC announced Bola Tinubu as the winner of the election. Peter Obi paid his respects by observing a moment of silence for those who lost their lives or were injured during the election. Peter Obi’s Full Speech “Again, my dear people, let me correct an impression because I’m seeing some people saying in the media that I released one news or the other. I have never, directly or indirectly, spoken or released any message since after voting on the 25th. My last comment to the media was immediately after voting on the 25th, and I’ve never done so until now. So, whatever you see in the media please disregard. It’s not coming from me directly or indirectly. “This is my first time of speaking to the media, and I thank all of you for your understanding. For me, it is a very simple thing to speak to Nigerians who on the 25th of February trooped out en masses as committed citizens to participate in what all of us have called an existential election, for a supposedly free, fair, credible presidential and national assembly election. We give thanks to God. “For me, the number one thing is gratitude. Gratitude to God Almighty that continues to protect and bless our dear country Nigeria. Number two is gratitude. Gratitude to Nigerians that participated in the election, answering the call as true citizens in our dear country. Number three is gratitude to those of you Nigerians, especially the youth, that believed and worked tirelessly for a new Nigeria, I thank them for the hard work. Gratitude to the Obidients, Youths, those who believe that a new Nigeria is possible, and I say to them that a new Nigeria is possible, and we will work for that new Nigeria. Obi’s Commitment to Nigerians “The resilience, the hard work, for a new Nigeria should not wane. Datti and I remain committed to that new Nigeria. I know how they will be feeling now because of the way the elections have come and gone. The commitment of Nigerians, even in the face of unwarranted attacks, is a testimony that a new Nigeria is indeed possible. I look at people like Lady Jennifer who was stabbed but insisted on voting, and that gives me courage to believe that a new Nigeria is indeed possible –and there are so many other Nigerians. “The election that we just witnessed has been conducted and results announced as programmed. It is a clear violation of the electoral rules and guidelines as we were promised. This election did not meet the minimum standard expected of a free, transparent, credible fair election. It will go down as one of the most controversial elections ever conducted in Nigeria. Speaking on Election Manipulation “The good and hardworking people of Nigeria have again been robbed by our supposed leaders whom they trusted. However, very humbly, I must appeal to all Nigerians to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and conduct themselves in the most responsible manner. Please be assured that Datti and I, and indeed all of us, this is not the end but the beginning of the journey for the birth of a new Nigeria. Datti Baba-Ahmed and I remain undaunted and committed to the project of a new Nigeria that will be built on honesty, transparency, fairness, justice, equity. “All the above starts with a process. The process through which people come into office is far more fundamental, more important than what they do thereafter. It is my belief that if you must answer “His Excellency”, the process through which you arrive to office must be excellent. “We must now require that we do the right things. It has to generate the confidence and moral authority to lead. As you know, the destruction of a society begins and gradually progresses when we act rascally, with the deliberate manipulation of the rule of law and the suppression of the will of the people. During my campaign we have been saying that we will govern by the rule of law because we know what not doing that will bring about. “I assure the good people of Nigeria that we will explore all legal and peaceful options to recall our mandate. We won the election, and we will prove it to Nigerians. Full Speech Conclusion: Obi Preaches Peace “Please, do not despair. We have elections coming up on the 11th. I enjoin you to go out. Campaign. Come out and vote in that election. We still have so many massive support out there that we need for our subnational and state assemblies. Please, come out and be part of that election. I assure you that I will be part of it. I assure you that I am totally committed to a better future in this country, and nothing will stop that. Datti’s commitment, my commitment, is total. “Be rest assured that your support will not be in vain and you will not find us wanting. We must build a better Nigeria where Nigerian youth will be happy, glad to call their own country. “Thank you and may God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

I have full support of Chelsea’s board
Ahead of Chelsea’s match against Crystal Palace today, January 15, Graham Potter has said that he has the full support of the club’s board even with the poor performance of his team in over 10 matches they’ve played. Potter who admitted that he was under pressure after two defeats before the World Cup break, told reporters that if anyone he works for thinks the problem lies with him, they have the right to sack him. He said; “There are always questions if you don’t get the results. I was under pressure after two defeats before the World Cup break – and that is from the media. In terms of the board, I’ve had full support but I am not naive. If anybody that I work for thinks the problem lies with me then they have every right to say, ‘Thank you very much but it’s not working’. I accept that.” When asked if the players were still committed to his ideas, Potter said; “From what I see, they are professional, responsible, and honest. We’re in a bad moment and we’ve got challenges, everyone suffers from that point. January is always complicated no matter where you are because the window is open and human beings are human beings, but I don’t see any problems in that regard. I have the support of the boys and they have mine. We just need to keep working.”
