The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has assured Nigerians that the issue of animals swallowing millions of naira will never happen under his administration if he is elected president.
He shared this on Friday, January 27 while addressing students of the University of Abuja during a town hall meeting in the school.
Obi brought up a past incident that happened during the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari when a JAMB official claimed that a snake swallowed N36 million.
The former governor declared that if any official of the government made such a claim while he was president, the snake must be located and made to spit out the money.
The LP flagbearer informed the crowd that leaders who can pinpoint the nation’s issues will be able to guide the populace toward the new Nigeria they desire.
In his words;
“If I dare hear anyone say a snake swallowed money in my regime as President, we must look for that snake to vomit all the money
I assure you that a new Nigeria is possible and that new Nigeria will be made possible by leaders who understand what the problem is. This election that is coming ought not to be based on ethnicity. If you are from the North and anybody says vote for me because I am from the North, tell him that the poorest people are from the North.
They haven’t solved for years, in fact, it is unsecured. They have voted North since but what did they do? They used the controversies to ride to power. South-East is the same thing, poor people are everywhere. So please, it is not about ethnicity”.
Obi also expressed concern about the northern region’s failure to realize its great potentials, noting that nine out of the country’s ten poorest states are located there despite the region’s abundance of agricultural land, which could ensure that Nigeria not only feeds itself as a nation but also exports agricultural goods to earn foreign exchange.

An American pastor, Gerald Johnson, has claimed that he went to hell and saw demons singing Rihanna’s hit song ‘Umbrella’ as they tortured people.
The Michigan priest, who claimed that he temporarily died from a heart attack in 2016, said he heard Rihanna’s song echoing through the gates of hell during his tumultuous visit to purgatory.
Despite living his life as a man of God, Johnson said he was shocked when he didn’t make heaven and instead plummeted down to Hell.
In a video shared on TikTok, Johnson recounted his 2016 journey into abysss and said he wouldn’t wish it on his worst enemy.
‘I thought I was going upward, because I thought that I had done so much good in this lifetime and helped so many people and made so many decisions that were Godly decisions,’ he said.
‘But as opposed to me going up, I went down. I went literally into the center of the Earth. That’s where Hell is.’
He said he suffered severe punishments in Hell, including being tortured with demonic renditions of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ and Bobby McFerrin’s ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’.
‘It just blew me away, it still baffles me to this day,’ Johnson said.
‘There was a section in Hell where music was playing. It was the same music we hear on the Earth, but opposed to entertainers singing it, demons were singing it.
‘While up here, you can listen to music to get over a breakup like ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’ or ‘Umbrella’, but down there every lyric to every song is to torment you.’
He added that his experience should serve as a warning to those who listen to chart toppers instead of hymns and prayers. He also claimed he saw a man being burned alive.
‘The things that I saw were indescribable, it makes me emotional,‘ he said.
‘His eyes were bulging and worse than that, he was wearing chains on his neck… it was a demon holding the chain.’
Following his resuscitation, the pastor said he now believes secular music is the underworld’s attempt to control people before they die.
‘On Earth, a lot of the lyrics and music are inspired by demons,’ he claimed.
‘People come into contact with demons who give them lyrics for the purpose of controlling people on Earth.’
Speaking further, he explained that the reason he went to hell despite doing a lot of good on earth was because he harbored unforgiveness in his heart against people who offended him.

The President revealed this during a visit to the Emir of Daura, Faruk Faruk, after inaugurating two roads in Katsina state.

“Many bridges were blown just before we arrived at some places, and after we crossed. I arrived at some places to see bodies of my own colleagues that we were fighting together. I am alive today only by God’s grace.
“This opportunity to serve the nation comes from God. All over the world, Nigeria is known for its diversity, with different religions and cultures.
“We are also known because we have a huge population of millions of people. For the President of Nigeria, at this time, to come from Daura is the grace and mercy of God.”

“When you are broke, everything seems linear, your taste in things are simple & sometimes that creates a false sense of modesty. Having money opens you up to a world of choices & gives you access to options you thought you never had, where your core values will be tested daily.”
“If you think you are humble, wait till you have money that can’t finish & then check yourself again. You’ll be shocked it wasn’t self control, good upbringing or your faith in God that was keeping you lowly, it was constant lack.”
