- What I saw, past, present and future, that made me decide to exit partisan politics in Nigeria completely: We arenβt ready for real democracy. Too much poverty &the financial corruption it enables. Too many evil, powerful vested interests. Weak institutions. Illiterate electorate
- I was very disappointed to view the video clip of H.E. Atiku Abubakar @atiku , a former Vice-President of Nigeria, telling an audience in Kaduna that what the North needs is a northerner to be President, and not a Yoruba or Igbo candidate.

- Iβm one year older today. Thank God for adding another year to my life. May His blessings continue to abide in my life and yours.
- Itβs my birthday today. I thank God for the gift of life, another year on earth, & His many blessings-health, parents who taught me values, a wonderful wife,lovely children, a successful global and national career-a life of impact & consequence! So far. Chukwu Dalu.

- From the standpoint of economic transformation, presidential candidate @PeterObi has a strong, even if controversial point: that the economy cannot be driven just by (physical) infrastructure. The foundation of economic transformation is human development (social infrastructure).
- The "drip lord" @58. I thank God for another year, and for His mercy and many blessings. Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God, the Ancient of Days. Creator of heaven and earth, Giver of life and the Shaper of destinies, take all honor, and glory. Amen.
- Three Gbosas to @NigeriaGov Minister of Mines and Steel, Olamilekan Adegbite, who has emerged as my favorite Minister in the administration of President @MBuhari, for reportedly declining to give @Tesla a license to mine lithium in Nigeria unless the company establishes a battery
