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

Sustainable Success Is Built on Competence, Integrity, Discipline and hardworking. On Saturday, I had the privilege of interacting with young entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, and members of the emerging generation at the This Generation Conference hosted by Summit Bible Church in Abuja. Our discussion focused on what it takes to thrive in the marketplace despite prevailing economic challenges. I shared insights from my years in business and public service, emphasizing that sustainable success is built on integrity, competence, discipline, and a commitment to creating value for society. I reminded participants that no nation develops by consumption alone. Nations progress when their citizens are productive, innovative, and committed to excellence. Our young people must resist the temptation of shortcuts and instead embrace education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership. The future of Nigeria depends largely on the quality of leadership and enterprise this generation is willing to build. We must move from a culture of sharing poverty to one of creating prosperity through production, innovation, and responsible governance. I left encouraged by the energy, intelligence, and determination of the young people I met. Their questions, ideas, and aspirations reaffirmed my belief that Nigeria’s greatest resource remains her people. Together, through hard work, integrity, and purposeful leadership, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO

Building a Healthier Nigeria Through Stronger Healthcare Systems As part of our desire and commitment to building a healthier Nigeria, I met with some healthcare professionals and experts in the United States on Friday, June 5, 2026. The meeting was essentially to deepen my understanding of how successful health insurance systems deliver improved healthcare, especially in the areas of primary and emergency care. One of our key health objectives remains unchanged: to expand health insurance coverage, strengthen primary healthcare across our electoral wards, train more healthcare workers, and make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all Nigerians. A New Nigeria must be a healthier Nigeria. A New Nigeria is possible. -PO

Another advantage of being in tech is being able to see a problem and think of multiple solutions instead of just complaining. When the Nigerian government launched the list of PVC ( CVR) centres, it was a minimal interface that required you to do alot of manual work. When I saw it, I decided to build two things with @Salus_Cloud ASAP. 1. An interface that allows you search your address or location, and it'll show you the closest PVC center from your location. 2. Get daily email reminder with the locations that'll encourage you to go and get your PVC, and these emails will only stop once you tell the system that you've gotten your PVC. Do your part as a Nigerian today, Join 500 people and go to pvc.salus.sh and find the location close to you. Before VS after

Everyone is complaining about how to raise money. Please, if you want to raise money as a Nigerian business and you have between N100m and N1B in revenue, you're profitable, and have at least 3 years of financial records please send an email to listings@assetbase.capital We would like to speak to you. In your email include the name of your company, the location and what it does. We have many people in Nigeria and diaspora willing to give you money. Don't say we never did anything for you. (Please retweet for reach. Thank you).

Dear Young Nigerians, One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten. In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens. Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others. Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people. Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns. Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace. At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires. We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation. I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders. Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation. The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

I need to become more active here. Writing on Substack has made me sharper as an investor, but X is where the conversation happens in real time. My focus will stay the same: the boring stuff behind AI. Power. Cooling. Networking. Optics. Semis. Data centers. Not just the story, but whether the story shows up in backlog, margins, cash flow and customer commitments. I want to use this account more as a public research desk. More notes, more questions, more interaction, and more honest follow-ups when I change my mind. If you follow AI infrastructure, semiconductors, photonics, data centers or industrial bottlenecks, I want to hear more from you.

This is one of the most dishonestly gaslighting writeups. Expect more of these as the campaigns heat up. It shows that Tinubu is very afraid. When GEJ removed petrol subsidy with so many safety nets to help cushion the effect at a time when the economy was better prepared to handle it, who politicised it and organised a protest to reverse it? Tinubu! When GEJ, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and Peter Obi were advocating for savings for the rainy day, who fought it vehemently? The governors who were aligned with Tinubu and the APC When we had managed to keep Buhari, who was obviously clueless about governance, away from government, who went and teamed up with him to make sure he won for his own selfish ambition? Tinubu! When insecurity was spreading all over the country, who turned a blind eye because he did not want to offend the North so he could get his turn at the presidency? Tinubu! When herder terrorists made one of the first incursions into the SW and killed a prominent Yoruba person, who was out asking, "Where are the cows?"? Tinubu! When the EndSars protests happened, who used his propaganda machinery to term it an insurrection sponsored by people who wanted to take over the government? Tinubu! When did the military come in and kill peaceful, unarmed protesters? When Tinubu felt his moneybag at the tollgate genuinely threatened! When he returned from France, where he fled for safety in the event that the country went up in flames after the shooting and was interviewed, what did he say? "Those at the tollgate have questions to answer too. Why were they there? How were they there? What kind of character are they?" When Tinubu stole his way to power, what was the first thing he did? Yank off one of the only things Nigerians benefit from Nigeria. Took petrol subsidy away. Took education subsidy away. Asked us to endure baby steps of pain while spending our scarce commonwealth junketing across the globe, building expensive mansions for the VP in Abuja and his home state Borno, buying himself a new jet and a luxury yacht, taking the villa away from the national grid and pluging it fully into solar power while the entire country remains in darkness. APC has been in power for 11 years. By next year, it'd be 12 uninterrupted years of APC in power. Tinubu and his party have brought nothing but pain, suffering, and death to Nigerians. His audacity to be seeking a second term in office is solely because Nigerians are largely docile people. In some places, he'd have had to run into exile with his entire family by now.

I am retired now, and last year I thought, I would go home and just chill for a couple of months. It was rough. I do go home every now and then, but I'd never stayed this long. I should have planned the trip better. I have been away for almost 44 years, and my system has been used to a certain planet. Everything about and in me was stressed. Nigeria is a different planet. I did not attempt to replicate my comfort and lifestyle that I enjoy in the US. I stayed in rough and tumble places. It's hard if you do that. It's tough to think, to function, you are swamped with trying to make it through the day, seeing as you are deprived of what are basic services back in the US. Light, water, good roads, security, they are luxuries there. I have said this before, in Nigeria, no matter how wealthy you are, you are basically poor. Things need to change in Nigeria, the place needs a hard reset and a Marshall plan to replace the inchoate and decaying infrastructure and services. I stayed the entire two months, I was too lazy to try to change my flight, I would have done so. Would I go back? Absolutely. This time, I'll simply pay for comfort, I am too old to immerse myself in the drama of incompetence. I'll go back for the spirit and the camaraderie. My friends and relatives were incredibly generous and I did not lack, but I could tell they were struggling to keep up with my spiritual, emotional and physical needs. America had defanged me and I could no longer thrive in Nigeria's jungle. Our leaders and their enabler-intellectuals should be lined up and taught a lesson, if you know what I mean. Disgraceful lot. Sadly, there is no sugarcoating it, Nigeria is in very bad shape. And I speak from professional experience having worked with municipal government in the US for decades. Any attempt to gloss over the mess that is Nigeria is not merely dishonest, it is cruel. Nigeria needs a cultural and structural reset, one that this version of "democracy" cannot offer. Nigerians have no idea how badly they are being governed. And you don't have to go to the West to see that. Just go next door, to an African country. It's so sad. The two months I spent there, I lost total respect for our politicians and their enabler-intellectuals. They are all grifters.
