PETER OBI: A COMMITMENT TO A NIGERIA THAT CAN WORK


Why Nigerians must not take credible leadership and political sacrifice for granted


Nigeria's search for transformative leadership requires more than political promises. It requires individuals willing to remain engaged with the people, confront difficult realities and continue offering practical alternatives even when the political environment becomes challenging.


Mr. Peter Obi has continued to make himself available to Nigerians who believe that the country can be rebuilt through competent leadership, responsible governance and stronger institutions.


He could have chosen the comfort of distance from the daily struggles confronting ordinary Nigerians. Instead, he has remained actively involved in the national conversation, continuing to engage citizens and present his vision for a more productive and accountable Nigeria.


The Cost of Standing in Opposition


In today's political environment, occupying the position of a credible opposition figure is not without its challenges.


It comes with intense scrutiny, criticism, political pressure, personal attacks and significant sacrifice. Yet, despite these realities, Peter Obi has continued to maintain his political engagement and advocate for what he believes can move Nigeria forward.


For many Nigerians, this persistence represents an important part of the conversation about the country's future.


But political support should never be reduced to personality alone. It should be rooted in ideas, competence, integrity, accountability and the ability to deliver measurable results.


Nigeria Deserves Another Opportunity


If Nigerians genuinely desire a country where institutions work, businesses can grow, young people can build sustainable futures and public resources are managed responsibly, then the conversation about leadership must be taken seriously.


Competent and accountable leadership should not be treated as an ordinary commodity.


Supporting Peter Obi and the Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement is, from the perspective of its supporters, about advancing a political alternative focused on rebuilding public institutions, strengthening accountability and creating opportunities for citizens.


Ultimately, however, the responsibility belongs to Nigerians.


Citizens must examine every candidate, scrutinize every political promise and make informed decisions based on the future they want for themselves and generations yet unborn.


Nwangele, the Conversation Is Local


For the people of Nwangele, the same principle applies.


The aspiration for a better Nigeria must translate into meaningful representation at the local level. Communities need leaders who understand their realities, listen to their concerns and are prepared to pursue development that directly affects the lives of their people.


That is where Barr. IKD Anomneze comes into the conversation.


The message is not simply about supporting a political personality. It is about encouraging citizens of Nwangele to participate actively in determining the kind of representation and leadership they want for their communities.


A better Nigeria must be built from the grassroots upward.


The Work Ahead


The road to 2027 will require more than rallies and political declarations. It will require citizens who are informed, organized and willing to participate peacefully in the democratic process.


It will require young people to demand space and opportunity, communities to hold their representatives accountable and political movements to demonstrate that their promises can translate into practical action.


The future of Nigeria cannot be left entirely to politicians. Citizens have a responsibility to shape the political conversation and make their voices count.


The aspiration remains simple:


A Nigeria where competence matters.

A Nigeria where integrity matters.

A Nigeria where institutions work.

A Nigeria where every citizen has an opportunity to thrive.


Nigeria will be OK.

A MASSIVE TURNOUT! A GRAND FLAG-OFF AS OK MOVEMENT OFFICIALLY TAKES OFF IN EDO STATE


Heavy rainfall could not dampen the enthusiasm as members, students and communities unite behind the Obi-Kwankwaso movement


Edo State, Nigeria | 7 August 2026


History was made in Edo State as the Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement officially held its grand flag-off, drawing an impressive and enthusiastic turnout of members, supporters and stakeholders from across the state.


Despite the heavy rainfall, the determination of participants remained undiminished. Members of the movement, students, representatives of Arewa communities, members of the Igbo community and Nigerians from diverse backgrounds defied the weather to attend the historic gathering.


The remarkable turnout transformed what could have been a rain-disrupted event into a powerful display of unity, diversity and political enthusiasm.


Unity in Diversity on Display


The flag-off was more than a political gathering. It provided a platform for people from different ethnic, social and cultural backgrounds to come together around a shared aspiration for a better Nigeria.


The presence of different communities, particularly the participation of the Arewa and Igbo communities, added a strong dimension of national unity to the event.


Their participation reflected the broader message of the OK Movement: that Nigeria's political future must accommodate citizens across ethnic, religious, regional and social lines.


The atmosphere was filled with excitement as participants expressed their enthusiasm through music, cultural presentations and entertainment.


The Igbo community, in particular, added colour and vibrancy to the occasion through an impressive cultural presentation, further highlighting the spirit of friendship and unity that characterized the event.


A Strong Grassroots Statement


The sheer number of people who attended despite the rainfall provided a significant indication of the level of grassroots interest surrounding the OK Movement in Edo State.


Rather than allowing the weather to discourage participation, supporters turned up in large numbers, demonstrating commitment to the movement and its political aspirations ahead of the 2027 general elections.


For the organizers, the turnout represents more than numbers. It is an indication that political movements must continue to engage directly with communities, listen to citizens and create space for Nigerians from different backgrounds to participate in the democratic process.


Commendation for Edo State Leadership


Special commendation goes to the entire executive of the OK Movement, Edo State, ably led by the State Coordinator, Comrade Jatto Peter Eromosele, for the organization and successful execution of the flag-off.


The coordination, participation of diverse communities and vibrant atmosphere contributed to making the event a memorable beginning for the movement's activities in Edo State.


As the movement continues to establish its structures across the country, the Edo State flag-off provides another example of the importance of grassroots organization and sustained citizen engagement.


Edo State Has Spoken


The message from Edo State was unmistakable.


The rain came, but the people came too.


The massive turnout demonstrated enthusiasm, resilience and a willingness among supporters to participate in the political process as Nigeria approaches 2027.


The official flag-off has now marked the beginning of a new phase for the OK Movement in Edo State, with the responsibility now resting on its executives, members and supporters to translate the energy of the launch into sustained grassroots engagement.


Edo State has spoken with its presence.


The movement has officially taken off.

The Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), H.E.

A notable moment at the event was the appearance of Mr. Peter Obi in the official OK Movement regalia, a development that drew significant attention and further reflected the growing visibility and grassroots identity of the Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement.


The empowerment programme, organized by Prof. Lilian Oby Orogbu, was aimed at providing practical support to constituents and strengthening economic opportunities for beneficiaries across Awka North and South Federal Constituency.


Speaking at the occasion, Senator Victor Umeh commended Prof. Orogbu for her commitment to the welfare of her constituents and for mobilizing resources toward an extensive empowerment initiative.

NIMENA Launches Trend Report for the Advancement of Shipbuilding.


....._Seeks Nigeria's Emergence as Africa's Maritime Hub_


The Nigerian Institution of Marine Engineers and Naval Architects (NIMENA) has launched a landmark Trend Report on the Advancement of Shipbuilding in Nigeria, unveiling a strategic roadmap aimed at positioning the country as Africa's leading hub for shipbuilding, ship repair, offshore engineering and maritime innovation. 


Developed in collaboration with Plug and Play Singapore, the report provides a forward-looking assessment of Nigeria's readiness to compete in the global shipbuilding industry. It outlines practical strategies for building a globally competitive maritime manufacturing ecosystem through engineering excellence, technological innovation, digital transformation and policy reforms. 


According to the report, Nigeria is well positioned to take advantage of the evolving global maritime industry due to its status as Africa's largest maritime economy, a growing offshore energy sector, expanding local content initiatives, an emerging innovation ecosystem and increasing government support. It notes that the country's focus should be on developing a technology-driven and innovation-led maritime industry rather than competing with established global shipbuilding giants on production volume. 


The publication examines global trends shaping the shipbuilding industry, compares Nigeria's maritime sector with those of countries such as China, Singapore and South Africa, and identifies emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, digital twins, robotics, blockchain-enabled supply chains and smart shipyard, as critical to accelerating indigenous shipbuilding and maritime industrialisation. 


Speaking at the launch, NIMENA National Chairman, Engr. Dr. Eferebo I. Sylvanus, described the report as a defining milestone in Nigeria's maritime industrial development.


He said the future of maritime leadership would be determined not only by the size of shipyards or the number of vessels built but also by the ability of nations to innovate, engineer and sustainably transform their maritime ecosystems. He added that the report represents a national call to action for building a resilient, technology-driven maritime industry capable of positioning Nigeria as Africa's foremost centre for shipbuilding, ship repair, offshore innovation and maritime industrial development. 


The report also reveals that Nigeria currently has 27 accredited shipyards with strong capabilities in vessel repair, maintenance and offshore support services, while highlighting digital technologies, engineering innovation and smart manufacturing as the country's greatest opportunities for closing competitiveness gaps. It recommends a phased development strategy beginning with digital technologies, followed by engineering capability development and eventually advanced manufacturing and automation. 


As part of efforts to drive policy implementation, NIMENA said the report would be transmitted to the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the Nigerian Society of Engineers, the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, relevant committees of the National Assembly, the Ship Owners Association of Nigeria, the Nigerian Shippers' Council and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), among other stakeholders. 


The institution expressed confidence that the recommendations contained in the report would deepen local content, strengthen indigenous shipbuilding capacity, promote engineering innovation, create high-value employment and support Nigeria's emergence as Africa's leading maritime industrial hub. It also called on government agencies, investors, financial institutions, research institutions, universities and private sector players to collaborate in implementing the report's recommendations.

Speaking on the significance of the programme, the organisers said the forum goes beyond motivational speeches by providing participants with access to opportunities capable of transforming their ideas into successful ventures.


"Youths don't just need inspiration, they need opportunity. IGYIF is where ideas become businesses and skills become income," the organisers stated.


They explained that participants at the forum will benefit from interactions with global mentors, policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and development experts who will share practical insights on leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and career advancement.


The organisers further disclosed that attendees will enjoy high-level leadership and capacity-building sessions, while also networking with young leaders from across Nigeria and different parts of the world. 


The event will also provide participants with valuable exposure to career, innovation, and entrepreneurship opportunities, as well as increased visibility for their ideas, initiatives, and community projects.


In addition, every registered participant will receive a certificate of participation and recognition, while qualified attendees will have access to non-refundable grant opportunities aimed at supporting youth-led initiatives. 


Selected participants will also have the opportunity to receive startup equipment support to launch or expand their businesses and innovative ventures.


The forum is expected to attract youths, government officials, development partners, private sector stakeholders, civil society organisations, entrepreneurs, students, and policymakers committed to advancing youth empowerment and sustainable development in Nigeria.


Registration for the event is currently ongoing, and interested participants are encouraged to register through the official portal: https://waterlightsave.africa/i-heal-registration/.




RIVERS STATE IS OFFICIALLY OK: OK MOVEMENT INAUGURATES STATE EXECUTIVES, REAFFIRMS GRASSROOTS MOBILISATION FOR 2027


Rivers State, Nigeria | Official Media Statement


A New Chapter of Grassroots Mobilisation, Unity and People-Driven Leadership Begins in Rivers State


The Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement has officially inaugurated its Rivers State chapter in a colourful and historic gathering that brought together movement leaders, newly inaugurated executives, political candidates, grassroots mobilisers, supporters and stakeholders from across the state.


The inauguration marked another significant step in the Movement’s growing national structure and its determination to build a strong, organised and people-centred political movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.


Despite a heavy downpour of rain, the enthusiasm and commitment of Rivers State supporters remained undiminished. The gathering recorded an impressive turnout, with the available canopies outside overflowing with supporters while the gallery upstairs was also filled with participants who came from different parts of the state.


The atmosphere demonstrated what the OK Movement considers one of its greatest strengths: grassroots participation driven by ordinary Nigerians who are demanding a stronger voice in the political process.


National Leadership in Attendance


The inauguration was graced by key leaders of the OK Movement who travelled to Rivers State to formally witness and support the establishment of the state structure.


Among those present was the Director General of the OK Movement, Hon. John Ughulu, whose presence further underscored the importance the Movement places on building functional structures across every state of the federation.


Also present was the National Director for Mobilisation and Outreach, Rev. Victor Ekam, who joined other leaders in emphasising the need for sustained grassroots engagement, community outreach and political education ahead of the 2027 elections.


The Zonal Coordinator for the South-South, Amb. Christopher Igharo, was equally present and officially inaugurated the executives representing the various Local Government Areas and Wards across Rivers State.


The inauguration of the LGA and Ward executives represents an important organisational milestone for the Movement as it moves from broad political advocacy to deeper grassroots structures capable of engaging directly with communities.


A Movement Built Beyond Political Rallies


The Rivers State inauguration was not simply a gathering of political supporters. It was a demonstration of the Movement's expanding organisational structure and its ambition to establish a presence at the grassroots level.


Representatives and executives from Local Government Areas and Wards across the state were formally brought into the structure, creating a foundation for sustained mobilisation and communication between the Movement's leadership and the people.


The OK Movement maintains that meaningful political change cannot be achieved solely through social media campaigns, political rallies or election-period activities.


Instead, the Movement is focused on building a structure that reaches communities, engages citizens, listens to their concerns and encourages them to participate actively in the democratic process.


The newly inaugurated executives were therefore encouraged to take the message of the Movement into their respective communities and continue building relationships with the people at the ward and LGA levels.


Political Candidates Join the Movement's Growing Network


The event also attracted Senate candidates, House of Representatives candidates and other political candidates, who were present and expressed their willingness to work with the OK Movement in Rivers State.


Their participation added further political weight to the inauguration and reflected the growing interest in the Movement's agenda across different levels of political representation.


The presence of candidates and political stakeholders also provided an opportunity for the Movement to reiterate the importance of cooperation, coordination and a shared commitment to grassroots engagement.


The OK Movement believes that political structures must ultimately serve the people, and that candidates seeking public office must remain connected to the communities they seek to represent.


The 2027 Mission: Taking the Message to the Grassroots


A major message delivered during the inauguration was the need for all members and executives to deepen grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.


The Movement's leadership called on members across Rivers State to take the responsibility of mobilisation seriously and to ensure that the OK message reaches communities across all Local Government Areas, wards and polling units.


The focus is on creating an informed and active electorate capable of making independent political choices based on leadership, competence, accountability and the future of Nigeria.


The Movement continues to express its aspiration for Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to emerge victorious in the 2027 presidential election, while encouraging supporters to engage Nigerians through peaceful, lawful and democratic means.


The message from the Rivers State inauguration was clear: the 2027 project cannot be left to political elites alone. It must involve citizens at the grassroots.


Rain Could Not Stop the People


Perhaps one of the most striking moments of the inauguration was the determination displayed by participants despite the heavy rainfall.


Rather than dispersing because of the weather, supporters remained present, filling the available spaces both inside and outside the venue.


The overflow of participants into the outdoor canopies and the upstairs gallery demonstrated the level of interest and commitment surrounding the Movement in Rivers State.


For the OK Movement, the turnout was more than a statistic. It was a reminder that political participation is sustained when people believe that their voices can contribute to the direction of their country.


Rivers State Joins the National OK Movement Structure


With the official inauguration of the Rivers State executives, the OK Movement continues to expand its organisational footprint across Nigeria.


The Movement's leadership maintains that the road to 2027 requires more than campaign season enthusiasm. It requires early organisation, responsible leadership, grassroots mobilisation, effective communication and continuous engagement with citizens.


The newly inaugurated Rivers State executives are therefore expected to work closely with the national and zonal leadership while strengthening the Movement's presence across the state's LGAs and wards.


Their responsibility extends beyond attending meetings. They are expected to become active points of contact between the Movement and the people, helping to communicate the Movement's vision while also listening to the concerns, expectations and aspirations of their communities.


A Message of Hope and Democratic Participation


The OK Movement's growing structures are being built around a broader message of political participation and the belief that Nigerians should have a meaningful choice in determining who governs them.


The Movement continues to advocate for a Nigeria where citizens are not merely spectators during elections but active participants in determining the country's political direction.


The Rivers State inauguration therefore represents another building block in the Movement's larger national mobilisation strategy.


As the country moves closer to the 2027 general elections, the challenge before every member is to translate enthusiasm into organisation, organisation into grassroots mobilisation, and mobilisation into informed democratic participation.


The message from Rivers State is one of determination:


The rain did not stop the people.


The mobilisation continues.


The grassroots are awake.


Rivers State is officially OK.


Nigeria will be OK.

OK MOVEMENT RIVERS STATE CHAPTER SET FOR OFFICIAL FLAG-OFF AS NATIONAL STRUCTURE EXPANDS ACROSS NIGERIA


“A New Direction for Rivers State”

Issued by the Office of the Head of Media, Northern Team, OK Movement

Queen Hassana Ozohu Salisu


The Obi/Kwankwaso OK Movement is set to officially flag off its Rivers State Chapter as the movement continues to strengthen its grassroots structures and mobilise Nigerians around its vision for national renewal, accountable leadership and a better future for the country.

The Rivers State chapter will hold its official flag-off under the theme:

“A New Direction for Rivers State”

The event is scheduled as follows:

Date: Wednesday, 5 August 2026

Time: 12:00 noon prompt

Venue: Shakers Place, by 1st Artillery Junction, Aba Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The occasion represents another important step in the ongoing expansion of the OK Movement's structures across Nigeria and provides an opportunity for citizens, supporters, stakeholders and members of the public to come together and identify with the movement's vision.


The official OK Movement describes itself as a coordinated nationwide movement focused on systemic reform and national rebirth, with structures across Nigeria built around the principles of integrity, unity, courage and service. Its leadership framework is anchored on the 5 Cs of OK Leadership: Character, Competence, Compassion, Capacity and Commitment. 


A MOVEMENT FOR NATIONAL REBIRTH


The Rivers State flag-off comes at a time when the OK Movement is deepening its grassroots presence and building a coordinated network of citizens across the federation.


The movement's stated mandate is to work towards a Nigeria where justice is a right rather than a privilege, economic stability creates shared prosperity, and peace is supported by decisive and accountable leadership. Its vision is centred on a united and prosperous Nigeria, bringing together Nigerians around the political partnership of His Excellency Peter Obi and His Excellency Rabiu Kwankwaso. 


The establishment and activation of state structures are therefore not simply ceremonial exercises. They are part of a broader organisational effort to take the movement's message directly to communities and create opportunities for citizens to participate in the national conversation.

RIVERS STATE: A NEW CHAPTER

For Rivers State, the flag-off presents an opportunity for citizens who share the movement's ideals to come together, organise and contribute to the conversation about the future of the state and Nigeria.


The theme, “A New Direction for Rivers State,” reflects the emphasis on purposeful organisation, responsible citizenship and leadership that responds to the realities faced by ordinary Nigerians.


The OK Movement's national structure places particular emphasis on rejecting divisions based on ethnicity, religion and region, while promoting unity and collective responsibility. 


It is within this spirit that the Rivers State Chapter is being formally introduced to the public.


INVITATION TO NIGERIANS AT HOME AND ABROAD


On behalf of the Office of the Head of Media, Northern Team, OK Movement, I extend an open invitation to Nigerians, residents of Rivers State, members of the diaspora, civil society stakeholders, professionals, youths, community leaders and all well-meaning citizens to follow and support the official activities of the Rivers State Chapter.


The OK Movement has consistently positioned participation, volunteerism, community engagement and grassroots mobilisation as central to its work. Its official platform provides opportunities for citizens, including Nigerians in the diaspora, to volunteer, support activities and participate in the movement's growing network. 


The movement believes that the task of rebuilding Nigeria cannot be left to a handful of individuals. It requires citizens who are prepared to organise, participate, demand accountability and contribute positively to the country's future.


THE ROAD TO 2027


As Nigeria moves towards the 2027 general elections, the OK Movement continues to develop its national and state structures around the political vision of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.


The movement's official platform presents the two principals as central figures in its national rebirth agenda, with emphasis on leadership, unity, competence, service and measurable outcomes. 


For the OK Movement, the objective is not merely to create political visibility. It is to build an organised, disciplined and people-powered structure capable of engaging Nigerians from the grassroots upward.


The Rivers State flag-off is therefore another milestone in that continuing process.


JOIN US IN PORT HARCOURT


The people of Rivers State and supporters of the OK Movement are invited to be part of this historic occasion.

The strength of any movement is ultimately determined by the people who believe enough in its ideals to participate in building them.


From the North to the South, from Nigeria to the diaspora, the message remains one of unity, integrity, competence and national service.


Rivers State is ready.

The OK Movement is moving forward.

Together, we will make Nigeria OK.

BREAKING NEWS

NDC Edo South Nomination Controversy Deepens as INEC Publication Raises Fresh Questions


Fresh developments surrounding the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Edo South Senatorial nomination have sparked renewed debate after documents published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reportedly contained conflicting candidate information.


At the centre of the controversy is Hon. Sunny “BIBI” Aguebor, JP, who emerged as the winner of the NDC Edo South Senatorial Primary Election. According to his campaign, Certified True Copies (CTCs) of the primary election records, obtained through the appropriate legal channels, identify Hon. Sunny Aguebor as the successful candidate from the party’s concluded primary.


However, attention has now shifted to documents reportedly published by INEC on Saturday, 1 August, which allegedly display the passport photograph and personal credentials of Hon. Sunny Aguebor, while one of the nomination forms, EC9, bears the name of another individual, Bridget Epelle Asemota.


If confirmed, the discrepancy raises significant questions that deserve clear and transparent answers.


The issue is no longer about who won the primary. According to the campaign, the Certified True Copies already in its possession establish the declared winner of the election. The concern now is how nomination documents could contain the identity of one individual while carrying the name of another.


Several questions naturally arise.


* How did such a discrepancy occur in an official nomination process?

* Was this merely an administrative error?

* Was there an internal attempt within the party to substitute the duly elected candidate?

* Why would documents reportedly contain Hon. Sunny Aguebor’s photograph, educational qualifications, employment history and party credentials, yet bear another person’s name?

* Who authorised the submission of such documents?


These are questions that only the leadership of the NDC and those responsible for the nomination process can answer.


The development has also fuelled public speculation over whether powerful interests within the party attempted to alter the outcome of the primary after the election had been concluded. Some political observers have questioned whether there was an effort to impose a different candidate, while others have revived previous allegations made in the public domain concerning the transparency of the party’s nomination process.


These remain matters of public speculation and should be addressed through facts and official explanations rather than assumptions.


Equally concerning is the implication for Nigeria’s electoral process. Every nomination document submitted to INEC is expected to accurately identify the candidate it represents. Any inconsistency involving the identity of a candidate deserves immediate clarification in the interest of transparency, public confidence and the integrity of the electoral system.


Political analysts say the controversy is unlikely to disappear until the NDC provides a comprehensive explanation of how such an apparent mismatch occurred and whether the documents submitted truly reflected the decision reached by delegates at the primary election.


Despite the controversy, supporters of Hon. Sunny “BIBI” Aguebor remain confident that the documentary record favours their candidate. They point to the Certified True Copies obtained through lawful channels and maintain that the official records of the primary clearly recognise Hon. Sunny Aguebor as the authentic winner of the NDC Edo South Senatorial Primary Election.


As legal and political scrutiny continues, many believe one fact remains central to the dispute:


The outcome of the primary election itself is not what is in question. The real question is how conflicting nomination records came into existence after a winner had already emerged.


For now, attention remains on the NDC leadership and the relevant electoral authorities to provide the clarification that party members, supporters and the Nigerian public deserve.

Steve Crown, Solomon Lange, Faze, Others Perform as CEO of Law Automobile Holds 40th Birthday Reception 


The Chief Executive Officer of Law Automobile, Dr. Lawrence Momodu, has celebrated his 40th birthday in grand style with an elegant all-white party in Abuja, an event that also marked the 7th anniversary of his automobile company.


Top music artistes, including Steve Crown, Solomon Lange, Faze, and several other entertainers were on ground to thrill guests at the star-studded colourful ceremony. 


The event also attracted family members, friends, business associates, and distinguished guests from across different sectors, making it a memorable double celebration of personal and corporate milestones.


Speaking during the event, Dr. Momodu and his family expressed profound gratitude to God for the privilege of attaining the age of 40, describing the journey as one filled with divine grace, favour, and countless blessings. He noted that the occasion was not only a celebration of his birthday but also a reflection on seven years of resilience, growth, and excellence in business.


The event was attended by key stakeholders from the automobile and entertainment industries, captains of industry, heads of corporate organisations, academics, government officials, and other notable personalities.


In his remarks, Dr. Momodu appreciated his family, members of staff, business partners, and loyal customers for their unwavering support throughout his entrepreneurial journey, stressing that their encouragement has been instrumental to the steady growth of Law Automobile.


Reflecting on the company's humble beginnings, he recounted his journey from South Korea to Nigeria.


"I left Nigeria in 2008 when I was 22 yrs old to Malaysia. My plan was to continue my education and working, but there was no job available for Africans in Malaysia. I got admission into Innovative College and paid all the fees for the first semester. After some months it was very hard keeping up with all the bills monthly because there was no job available especially the foreign students. 


"I came back to Nigeria the following year in 2009. Then I applied for United State visa and was denied for the visa. Then I made a research online about a country I can be working at the same time continue my education. I came across South Korea. I applied for the visa and got it that same Year 2009. Then I waited to celebrate Christmas and new year with my family and friends. In the first week of January 2010, travelled to South Korea. While I was there I got connected with some Nigerians who live there. 


They helped me to secure a job in a production company and after 2 years I was able to save some reasonable money to start buying cars and ship down to Nigeria for my brother who will receive them and put them out for sale. After selling, the money will be sent back to me to buy more. I was doing that until I returned back to Nigeria in 2015 to get settled down and establish my business, 


"Then in December 2015 I travelled to Cape Town, South Africa then returned back In 2016 to establish and focus on my automobile business. Most of the vehicles we sell are imported from South Korea because I have built very strong business relationships there over the years, while some are sourced from the United States," he said.


Dr. Momodu described Law Automobile as a brand committed to providing high-quality and reliable vehicles, adding that the company's reputation has been built on trust, integrity, and customer satisfaction.


Expressing appreciation for the gift of life, he said turning 40 represents the beginning of another chapter of greater accomplishments. 


He attributed his achievements to God's faithfulness, nothing that divine grace has remained his greatest source of strength in overcoming challenges, meeting expectations, and pursuing excellence with determination.


Friends and associates also spoke glowingly of the celebrant who they said is a dependable ally who shows up for his friends at difficult times.


The entertainers also took their turn to express their gratitude to the celebrant for his consistent support to the industry, wishing him God's continuous blessings.
