Nigeria’s problem is that the rule of law is taken merely as a suggestion. If the legal arm of government was just, and incorruptible … Nigeria would be better off.

Plateau State is blessed with some of the most breathtaking rock formations in Nigeria. Nature really took its time here. ⛰️

Suddenly we have moved on and those Children are still in the Bush 💔 Another Chibok girls loading 30 or more days now 😭😭😭😭💔

Good morning 🌞

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions. When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world. Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure. Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot. We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed. I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all. To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country! A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday ordered the deregistration of African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four others over failure to meet the constitutional requirements for political parties in the country. Justice Peter Lifu, in a judgement, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregistered the affected parties having failed to secure 25 per cent of the votes in the last general elections in compliance with the provisions of the law. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the five political parties include ADC, Accord (A), Action Alliance (AA), Action Peoples Party (APP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).

"The IMF reported 63% of Nigerians are living in poverty. It also pointed out that 27 million Nigerians are living in food insecurity. They are saying that the people are suffering, and the recommendations of the IMF is to tax them more." — Lady says

Omo! Do you people know how insane it is for terrorists to kidnap a retired general, kill him and then return his body in a handover ceremony where they took pictures knowing they'd leave unchallenged? Do you people know what kind of trouble we are in?

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

What Tinubu is implementing today has been tried before. IBB tried the implementation of SAP. And after 4 years, it failed woefully. Bola Tinubu is implementing SAP 2.0 & it will end in tears. SAP is a program of the IMF. Listen to this & retweet for others. Know your history.

Growing up, I believed elders were naturally wiser, more honest, and more responsible. What I’m seeing in Nigeria today has taught me that age and wisdom are not the same thing. Character, integrity, and competence do not come with grey hair. They come from values.

There are no bandits in Nigeria. The belittling of the murder and atrocities these people commit by calling them bandits, is a media propaganda by their sponsors in government to diminish the level of horror of what these criminals do to innocent Nigerians. People who massacre citizens, kidnap schoolchildren, attack military formations, burn communities, and hold entire regions hostage are not bandits. These are terrorists The media must stop sanitising their crimes with softer language. Calling terrorists “bandits” trivializes murder, kidnapping, rape, arson, and the destruction of lives. Call them what they are They are terrorists. Anything less is a disservice to their victims and a crime to the pain they inflict on every Nigerian.

Today makes it exactly one month since those kids and teachers in Oyo were kidnapped. Also, on this day one month ago, kids were kidnapped and used as human shields on motorbikes in Borno state. The Bola Tinubu led administration failed these kids.

It gets worse Many Hausa people don’t know God’s name in Hausa, they always say it’s Allah, but it’s actually Ubangiji. Islam really erased their identity.

Day 30 today makes it one calender month. 💔

Too sad!!
