Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths, After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth. You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead. It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire. In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future. I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender. You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership. If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation. Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future. I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country. My young friends, this is your country. Take it back. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Wow

We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

3 months after Nelson Mandela of South Africa was released from Prison, he visited Nigeria, and thanked Nigeria 🇳🇬 for its financial and material support. Watch 👇🏾

1. Bakkassi boys were only in existence b/w 1999 to 2002 under Mbadinugu era not under Obi Era. 🤦🏽 2. The demolitions of buildings of criminals was actually signed, passed & carried out by Obi not Obiano. 🤦🏾‍♂️ If Oshiomole does not know “basic history”, how is he a Senator?

This reminds me of what Germany did to Brazil in 2014. Terrible World Cup debut for the tiny Caribbean nation. Apparently, the Curaçaon team may need to be reabsorbed into the Dutch national team until they are strong enough to be a separate team.

Day 30 today makes it one calender month. 💔

How many more generals must die before you tame this festering disease? The Nigerian Army has become a thing of ridicule under the APC administration, and it appears there's still no respite in sight for Nigerians. For how long will these terrorists have superior intelligence?

Partimos com a força de milhões de portugueses. Obrigado por estarem connosco! 🇵🇹💪

In 2012, when I started farming in Kuje Area Council-Abuja, cashew trees were everywhere. Many local landowners planted them as economic trees—not necessarily for commercial production, but because they increased the perceived value of their land. By 2013, the cashew industry had become a thriving rural economy. During harvest season, heavy-duty trucks lined up at Tipper Garage Junction in Kuje, buying cashew kernels for Nuts processing. Farmers earned and the entire communities benefited from the value chain. The boom continued through 2014, 2015, and 2016. Then greed quietly replaced sustainability. Instead of allowing the fruits to mature naturally, many people began harvesting prematurely to extract kernels early. The result was predictable: immature kernels flooded the market, quality dropped, and buyers began rejecting consignments. By 2018, something even more alarming happened. Many of the cashew trees simply refused to fruit. In 2019 and 2020, some produced while others remained barren. By 2021, large numbers of trees appeared diseased and failed to fruit. Today, the trucks are gone. The once-thriving cashew economy has largely disappeared. The trees remain, but many no longer produce. What is most disturbing is that nobody seems to know why. Nigeria has numerous institutions with mandates that should cover issues like this: • Seed Council of Nigeria • Forestry Departments and Agencies • Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development • Research Institutes and Extension Services Yet there appears to be little or no publicly available data explaining what happened to the Kuje cashew ecosystem. A nation that does not invest in research is condemned to repeat its mistakes. We spend billions discussing agriculture, but when an entire economic ecosystem collapses, nobody can explain the cause, measure the impact, or propose a recovery strategy. Agriculture is not sustained by speeches and conferences. It is sustained by data, research, and institutional memory. Until we take research seriously, we will continue harvesting from nature without understanding the consequences—and acting surprised when nature stops giving back.

This interview blows my mind. It’s been a long time coming. The results we see today were guaranteed decades ago.

So far we’ve received 2k, please don’t give on Lauretta, she can win cancer 🤲🏾🤲🏾🥹

BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire. After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own. Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion. Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity. Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.

It’s 28 days since Oyo children were taken. It’s 28 days since Oyo children were taken. It’s 28 days since Oyo children were taken. It’s 28 days since Oyo children were taken. It’s 28 days since Oyo children were taken. Pls keep speaking up. Pls share for the world to see this.

Am I the only one who feels like this just sounds like a bold impossible dream, as though Elon knows doesn’t even believe the words he’s saying?

My mum is dying, please help retweet🙏😩

Good news: Uchegbu Kosischukwu won the gold medal in the senior category at the German Mathematics Olympiad in Frankfurt, Germany. She competed against students from schools across Germany and also from 52 other countries. She currently attends Ambassador College, Ota. What a star!

Big ups every Nigerian out there representing Nigeria well, whether in relationship, business, research, or otherwise.
