In a recent video post by Symfoni on YouTube, on Monday, May 4, 2026, former presidential candidate Peter Obi has reiterated his vision for a fair and inclusive Nigeria, where opportunities are not limited by background or connections.
Speaking on the future of the country, Obi stressed the need for a system built on merit, equity, and equal access for all citizens.
He declared, “We want to build a country where a child of nobody can be somebody without knowing anybody.”
The statement has since gained widespread attention, resonating strongly with many Nigerians, particularly the youth who continue to seek better opportunities in a challenging economic climate.
Obi explained that national development cannot thrive in an environment where success is determined by who one knows rather than what one can offer.
He emphasized that nations that have progressed globally did so by creating systems that reward hard work, innovation, and competence rather than favoritism and nepotism.
The former Anambra State governor further noted that building such a country requires deliberate reforms in education, governance, and economic structures.
He called on leaders to prioritize policies that empower individuals regardless of their social or economic background.
Many supporters have praised his remarks, describing them as a reminder of the kind of leadership Nigeria needs at this critical time.
They argue that a merit-driven society would not only reduce inequality but also unlock the full potential of millions of talented Nigerians.
Obi concluded by urging citizens to remain hopeful and committed to positive change, adding that a better Nigeria is possible if the right systems are put in place….See More
