Nigeria Cannot Become a Killing Field
What is happening to our country?
In recent days, deadly attacks have struck Benue, Plateau and Niger States, three contiguous states in Nigeria’s North-Central region.
In Mangu, Plateau State, at least 23 people were officially reported killed in the Jwak Maitumbi attack, while residents put the toll above 30. More than 45 houses were reportedly destroyed. In Borgu, Niger State, recent attacks reportedly killed over 40 people and abducted more than 100, though the figures remain contested.
This comes amid continuing violence in Benue, where communities face repeated killings, abductions and the destruction of homes and livelihoods.
Nigeria is not officially at war, yet citizens are being attacked in their villages, abducted after prayers, driven from their homes and stripped of their farms.
What is happening in Benue, Plateau and Niger is similar to what is happening elsewhere in the country, with some attacks even going unreported. The violence across these states must no longer be treated as isolated incidents. It is a national security emergency requiring urgent and coordinated action.
I urge governments at all levels to wake up to their responsibility and take urgent and decisive action to end this madness once and for all.
Government must protect vulnerable communities, improve intelligence and rapid-response capabilities, rescue abducted Nigerians, and arrest and prosecute those responsible.
We cannot keep counting bodies after every attack. We must prevent these attacks before they happen.
Protecting lives and property is the most basic duty of government. Nigerians deserve nothing less.
Nigeria must not become a killing field. -PO
📢 URGENT APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE – PLEASE HELP SAVE A LIFE
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We humbly appeal for your prayers, financial support, and kind assistance for our beloved brother, Adeyemi Kazeem Tunde, who is currently battling Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) that has progressed to End-Stage Renal Failure (ESRF).
Due to the failure of both kidneys, his condition has become critical and life-threatening. He urgently requires a kidney transplant, which is the most effective and life-saving treatment available to restore his health and give him a chance to live a normal life again.

Beyond Football: The Match for a Better Nigeria
This weekend, Europe comes alive again with football. Millions of Nigerian youths will be glued to television screens, streaming matches, debating tactics, celebrating victories, and admiring the organisation, discipline, and excellence that make European football the envy of the world. But here is a question worth asking: Why can’t Nigerian football be just as good?
The answer is not a lack of talent. Nigeria has produced world-class footballers who have excelled in Europe because they found systems that reward merit, invest in infrastructure, ensure security, and are governed with competence and accountability. Great football does not exist in isolation. It grows where there is good governance.
The stadiums, academies, transport systems, healthcare, security, electricity, and institutions that support football are products of leaders who make the right choices and citizens who insist on accountability. Nigeria has the talent. What we have lacked is leadership that creates an enabling environment for that talent to flourish.
As I have decided, in the next 150 days, to engage Nigerian youths wherever they gather—in town halls, campuses, online spaces, and even football communities—my message is simple: The future you admire in Europe can be built in Nigeria. But it starts with your vote.
Imagine a Nigeria where our local league is competitive, our stadiums are full every weekend, our clubs attract sponsorship, our coaches receive proper training, and young footballers no longer see emigration as their only path to success.
Nigeria will not emerge through wishful thinking. It will emerge when young Nigerians decide that elections matter as much as football matches. Every goal scored in Europe is a reminder that excellence is possible. Every well-managed league is proof that systems work when honest leadership is in place.
The 2027 presidential election is therefore more than a political contest. It is an opportunity for Nigerian youths to choose the kind of country they want—a nation that exports talent because it is respected, not because its citizens are escaping failed governance.
Cheer for Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter, AC Milan, or any club you support. Enjoy every match. But when the final whistle blows, remember that the greatest match awaiting Nigerian youths is not in Europe. It is in Nigeria.
It is the match for good governance. It is the match for jobs, security, education, sports development, and national renewal. And unlike football, where only twenty-two players are on the pitch, every Nigerian youth has a place in this match.
Stand up. Mobilise. Vote. Defend your vote.
If Nigerian youths can passionately follow European football every weekend, they can also passionately build a Nigeria where our own football—and our nation—becomes a source of pride.
The journey towards better Nigerian football begins with the path to good governance. And the path to good governance begins with the decision of Nigerian youths to stand up and be counted in 2027.
Every weekend, starting today, I will come to you with a reminder of January 16, 2027, and our future. We can create world-class standards right here at home.
It’s in your hands, and that new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Please pray for Nigerian Christians who are enduring daily persecution — at the hands of jihadists and the very soldiers meant to protect them. In parts of the country, moderate Muslims who refuse to cooperate with the jihadists are also being targeted. Let’s remember them as well. 🙏🏾
Happy Sunday

A CRY FOR HELP FROM BINPER BY REV EZEKIEL DACHOMO
Today I speak to Nigeria and to the entire world with a heart that is deeply broken and with tears that words can hardly explain On this painful and heartbreaking day a Christian community in Binper Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State has once again been thrown into mourning after a deadly midnight attack that reportedly claimed the lives of at least 23 innocent people Several others were injured while some residents are still unaccounted for
The attack began around midnight and continued for more than three terrifying hours According to reports the attackers moved through the community from house to house forcing open doors and attacking innocent people in their sleep Young and old alike were caught in this terrible violence Families who should have been safe inside their homes were suddenly confronted with terror bloodshed and unimaginable loss
These were not just numbers These were fathers mothers grandparents children brothers sisters and young people These were human beings created in the image of God People with dreams families hopes and futures Tonight their loved ones are left asking questions that no family should ever have to ask
How many more lives must be lost before the world says enough is enough How many more mothers must bury their children How many more children must grow up without their fathers and mothers How many more communities must wake up to the sound of gunfire and the cries of grieving families
The Bible says in Psalm 34 verse 18 that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Today the people of Binper are brokenhearted Today families are crying Today children are grieving Today the wounded are fighting for their lives and they desperately need our prayers our compassion and our help
Those who survived with injuries have been taken to nearby hospitals for urgent medical attention They need treatment They need medicine They need care Their families need support And the displaced need protection and assistance
I am pleading with the world please do not look away from Binper Please do not allow these precious lives to become forgotten statistics Please do not allow the suffering of Plateau State and the Middle Belt to become something the world simply scrolls past and forgets
Jesus said in Matthew 25 verse 40 that whatever we do for one of the least of His brothers and sisters we do for Him When you help a wounded person you are showing the love of Christ When you comfort a grieving family you are showing the love of Christ When you stand with persecuted communities you are answering the call of Scripture
The people of Plateau State deserve to live in peace They deserve to sleep in their homes without fear They deserve protection They deserve justice They deserve to raise their children without wondering whether another night will bring another attack
I am therefore pleading with the Federal Government of Nigeria the Plateau State Government security agencies humanitarian organizations churches Christian leaders and the international community Please act Please protect innocent communities Please investigate these attacks Please bring those responsible for killing innocent people to justice Please help the wounded and displaced
The Word of God says in Proverbs 31 verses 8 and 9 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves defend the rights of the poor and needy That is why I cannot remain silent
As a pastor and as someone standing with persecuted Christians I mourn with every family that has lost someone in Binper I stand with the wounded I stand with those searching for missing loved ones I stand with the children who have been traumatized by violence and I stand with every innocent person who is living in fear
MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?
