Peter Obi Shocks Opeoluwa Solalu, US Based Nigerian Who Invited Him To Wedding by Kingsmeal: 5:28pm On Jun 17
About a month ago, I accompanied Mr. Peter Obi on a six-state thank-you tour in the US. At the BWI airport, while traveling from Dallas, Texas, to Washington, DC, we met Opeoluwa Solalu, a DHS employee. Opeoluwa approached me and asked if he could take a picture with His Excellency, Mr. @PeterObi. After the photo, he gently told Mr. Obi, "I'm coming home to get married and would be honored to have you come."

Given Mr. PeterObi’s busy schedule, I was unsure if he could attend the wedding. When I reminded him about the upcoming event, he mentioned our commitments: the campaign flag-off in Edo and two other high-profile events.

Yet, Mr. @PeterObi is known for honoring invitations, particularly from ordinary people. He said, "Let's get on with Edo, and if we finish, we'll leave immediately for Lagos because of Ope."

Upon arriving in Lagos, we searched for the venue for over an hour. PO was determined, and we finally found it. The joy and happiness in the atmosphere were palpable, from the security to the newlyweds, their parents, and friends. Mr. Obi went further by instructing me to give a substantial gift to the couple and some of the attendees.

PO shared with me how he had attended numerous events like this as a governor, sometimes sitting quietly at the back to encourage people without drawing attention. He emphasized that he prioritizes invitations from everyday Nigerians. "They are the ones who need my advice, encouragement, and support," he said.

When we met Opeoluwa, his excitement was evident. He gratefully said, "Thank you, Sir, for who you are and for the sacrifices you are making for Nigeria."

He then turned to me and thanked me for allowing him to interact with and take a picture with Mr. Peter Obi. For Opeoluwa, it was a dream and inspiration come true.

This is the humanity and dedication of Mr. Peter Obi, a leader who truly values and uplifts the everyday citizens of Nigeria.

Those BATerians asking if Obi did all these as Governor.

Till date, Peter Obi is the only Governor in the history of this country to give out his personal phone number to School Senior Prefects to access him easily.

Go and verify!!

This is how Obi shocked the couple. I too love this man!!

Leadership is not about grabbing power and not knowing what to do with it. But rather about empathy and humanity. Its about understanding that regardless of how much power we have if you don't create positive impacts in people's lives. You are only wasting your time. Well done PO.

You don't understand what this means, implies and demonstrates in leadership. You only know of slave masters and not selfless leadership and service.

Nigerians can still correct this mistake of a president we have today by voting for Peter Obi in 2027 if we genuinely want this country to work.

Inviting a corrupt politician like Peter Obi to your wedding? Thats a sure way to start your marriage on the wrong foot, Opeoluwa.

😄 hahaha 😂 the agbadorian above and below me are reeling in terrible sifia painment 🤣

Their wish is for Peter obi to vapourize into oblivion but alas . . . The terrible hunger from their BAT inflicted gunshot wounds and their realisation that Obidients cut across all ages, tribes, location and works of life is too much to bear tongue

Should we draw map to the lagoon for people like them above and below me? 🤔

Lol, just because you invited him to your wedding and he came. What else he is doing?, i don't think Obi has a job that keeps him busy, he has all the time in the world junketing from one corner to another. Dear Ope, you smacks of low self esteem, do you know that without being invited, Obi wakes up, put on his clothes and takes the next bus to the north. If he could willingly turn himself into a second class citizen to northerners, bowing down in mosques, donating cows and boreholes. Ope, Peter Obi should be at your wedding washing plates to prove that southerners equally deserves the servitude he gives to the northerners.

Humidity ko, Humidifier ni.
Jagaban is busy running the country while your hero is busy paying courtesy visits.
Some people have serious things to do.

Labour is advocating for a significant upward review of the minimum wage to a living wage, but you are still happy to insult your life for a pittance. Now we know who does not have a day job.

A lot of you and the labor leaders are jokers and highly unrealistic.
Go on the internet and Google the effects of the Udoji salary increase on the Nigerian economy.
I am sure the government will find the right balance regarding the increase rather than follow some poorly thought out demands by the labor union.

Jesus is Lord.


No matter what, righteousness pays, it exalts a nation.

The major problem Nigeria have is that we do not love God, we only love what God can do for us and we love our religious titles. Nigerians need to draw closer to God in truth and in all sincerity. If we love God, He will change the situation. Our leaders today are a reflection of the majority of who Nigerians are.


My dear friends, nothing is as sweet as knowing Jesus Christ and having a personal relationship with God.


Being a Christian that goes to Church does not make you a righteous person.


One way to live a righteous life is by running away from sins; envy, wickedness, backbiting, fornication, adultery, all forms of sexual immorality, lying, deceit, keeping malice, taking and giving bribe, patronizing Babalawos, occult kingdoms/powers, use of charms and juju, consulting ifa to know the future, defrauding people, etc.


I have realized that wealth and success without God is vanity. May the good Lord reveal Himself to as many that believe and desire so. May God give you a reason to return back to Him, amen.
