I thought I was crazy. Also the girl was 14, old enough to say what or what didn’t happen. Conveniently, she’s now late so there’s no one to challenge his version of events.
None of us use our brains when it comes to talks like this and it’s very bad.
Nothing about this story is adding up.
Firstly, nobody was paying £11,000 per annum for school fees in the UK in 1970. Let’s be bloody serious.
And also a court in the United Kingdom convicting you of rape, one of the hardest crimes to prove, you’re not telling us everything.
Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
His father is indigenous to Lagos. He’s a monarch in Ogun state as a result of his matrilineal lineage. I have relatives in Ogun state who are also Awori.
Hamzat is an indigenous Lagosian.
Nigerians and performative rage. Did you see his original response to GRV? No outrage on GRV’s response but all of a sudden you are angry at Mr. Wahab’s response. Is Chinese not his name? Bunch of performative hypocrites
Dear Chinedu @GRVlagos
I have no interest in descending into the mudslinging and distractions you appear to thrive on. My focus remains on the important work before us - supporting the efforts of the Lagos State Government to ensure the safety, well-being, and prosperity of Lagosians.
If being committed to public service, good governance, and the protection of the interests and heritage of Lagosians is what you choose to describe as bigotry, then I make NO APOLOGIES for standing firmly by those principles. Public service is not a tea party - but how can you know what it entails? Nemo dat quod non habet.
For the sake of clarity, I would advise you, in your saner moments, to acquaint yourself with my record in public service - from my appointment as Special Adviser on Education to Mr. Governor in 2019 to my present tour of duty at the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources. The record is public, and it speaks for itself.
As for the labels and accusations, I will leave others to judge them on their merits. I have no intention of engaging in personal attacks or trading insults with a political nomad driven by ignorance and needless hatred.
I wish you all the best.

Why have you singled out Lagos? What is your obsession with that state? When you asked if Ogun people were buying bread cheaper, you were not making it about tribe? Such a stupid, divisive ethnic supremacist!
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

Can you remove the names you have on your post. I’m not sure why this wasn’t shoot at sight. No point handing them to authorities as they will be released again
PANIC 🇳🇬⚠️: Bandit attack reported in Imesi Ile, Obokun LGA, Osun State on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, as local security operatives led by Chief Layi Abesin and Chief Muyiwa Oguntoye reportedly arrested suspects hiding on nearby mountain during response operation.
Dude! STFU with your performative nonsense! Why didn’t you say that the rallys, primaries etc should also be put on hold. Idiots that don’t care about the children but looking for an opportunity to politicise it. Get away with your nonsense. Irritants!
E no go better for you. you won’t die well. I place a curse on you today, your end will be terrible and horrible.
You think a festival, no matter how long it was planned is worth more than one little child under the rain and sun and the blazing guns of kidnappers?
Pooja or whatever your name is, YOU WILL DIE WITH TEARS.
This is so stupid. What system failure are you talking about? The government has provided interest free loans to ensure it educates its population. Isn’t that a systemic solution? You people don’t even understand most of the issues you claim you want to resolve.
For a while now, I’ve endured coordinated attacks simply because I chose to correct misinformation about my culture and speak openly about Yorùbá traditions.
What started as me providing context and sharing history somehow became grounds for insults, smear campaigns, and being labelled things I have never been.
I’ve been called an extremist, an APC paid bot and even a terrorist for saying nothing more controversial than “This is Yoruba culture.” Meanwhile, I have never attacked anyone unprovoked, spread hate, or made bigoted statements about anybody. I’ve simply defended my culture when I saw it being misrepresented. When all of you preferred to look on while our cultural heritage gets continually watered down and dissected.
I’m Yorùbá and I've always been proud of it. I've had this handle for over a decade, before a Yorùbá man ever became Nigeria's president. People are free to disagree, but demonising me for cultural advocacy is unfair. I know my heart is clean, and I will never be ashamed of speaking the truth respectfully and standing by where I come from.
I honestly don’t care about any of those bigots spreading these narratives, my advocacy has always been for Yorùbá people to learn and embrace our culture. You don’t have to be as passionate about it as I am, but the least you can do is not pretend that there is no justification for the work I do. And I hope someday, you will see the need for this advocacy.
To everyone who defended me, checked in on me or simply showed kindness, thank you. I truly appreciate it.
Ènìyàn láṣọ mi. ❤️
You can’t be earning £10k per month after tax and you are dancing on TikTok.
That girl should stop capping….
No one is paying you £10k net salary in this UK.
Lol what is this post! If you want to leave ADC, leave with your full chest and stand by it. This useless “they are after me” is over played. The underlying issue is you are an ineffective leader and a coward who runs at the slightest challenge.
Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
This is a psychopathic take! It beats me that even people with children are agreeing. So because it’s an 8day old baby, its life is not worth saving? You people are psychopaths!
You quoted my tweet with an introductory message from 2022 @Tunde_OD then blocked me, to prove that I was "famzing" you.
Also share how you were explaining yourself.
When you're ready, you'll go and remove that 5 mins Davido album you sent.
I didn't listen to it.
I said it in a previous post. Hate, bile, bitterness and envy is innate for these people. I am now almost certain some of the hateful international accounts were sponsored by them. God forbid!
Pure undiluted envy is what this is. I’m sorry but these people are not good people! From the way they treat their help to production of fake goods. It’s innate. They do not mean well for anyone
Tunde was so desperate for a win after being dragged, that he brought more disgrace to himself
Already everyone in the chess community saw him as a joke.
He’s not a grandmaster, hasn’t won any major tournaments, hasn’t produced any students that compete globally and now this
Lol.
If you send the one million naira today, I’ll gladly deliver it. No one has ever gotten a chessboard for free. It was either bought directly or paid for by someone else as a gift.
Put your money where your mouth is and stop waffling. It’s for a good cause, not politics🤗
