MY TAKE ON  Mr. Peter Obi IN FRANKFURT LAST NIGHT.


In just 2 days of announcement,  over 300 people stormed and filled the hall for the event. When I heard about it, I quickly checked my work calendar and prioritised my work to make sure I got there on time. I thought I made a huge sacrifice by taking a 40 minutes transportation to the venue since I live in a city near Frankfurt. On getting there,  I saw people who drove 4-5 hours from other cities and some from France and the Netherlands. Some said, they just saw the poster online and came to verify.


We where all sitted on time. The room was hot all through (most European rooms don't have AC rather a heater) people just sat, fanning themselves.
We spent 4 good hours with Peter standing all through responding to over 30 questions from the people.


When I asked a young man who didn't know how to navigate Frankfurt because he came from The Netherlands why he had to drive all the way? He said, "I asked myself what was going to be my own sacrifice to this cause of a new Nigeria and my physical presence was the best sacrifice " He got home 4am today.


Mr Obi waited for 2 extra hours taking personal pictures with everyone. We all lined up waiting patiently.


Was his speech all that powerful? Does he manufacture words or what? The answer is No.
He looked like a Pastor preaching Psalms 23 but this time with basic reality. We all know Nigeria's problems, he is just able to give practical solutions and say it the way we want to hear, of course with some examples of governance success Anambra.  Good governance isn't hard.. we just make it difficult in Africa.


People are yearning for change.. they just saw a man who is ready and identitied with him. PO is a force bigger than himself. There are times and seasons, this is the time.


The obidients are like ants, no king, no "leader" we just move according.


With what I saw, once this man asks for campaign money.. Diasporans will over donate. I see 1BN in 1 week.
