“I’m a saint compared to Tinubu.” — IBB.
I never knew a day would come when someone like Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), also known as "Maradona," would rate himself as a saint compared to his successors. In Nigeria, your past is always better than your present.
“The Evil Genius” is what happens when there is no progress. Is IBB attempting to reinvent himself before our eyes? PMB said you will miss him, & he was right! Democrats in Nigeria have stolen more than the military. THIS IS A FACT!
In comparison, civilians are 10x more corrupt!
This is how Tinubu will play a knight in shining armor, years later, after his wicked regime. This is how evil men twist history. This shame largely belongs to the current administration in Nigeria.
“Compared to the Mandate, IBB is a saint.” 💔
The APC Gubernatorial candidate for Lagos said if you are 22 years old earning 100,000 per month, you should be staying in your father’s house. You have no right to rent your own place.
Elections can make or mar you. Take them seriously.
Taiwo Oyedele: FG won’t publish spending details of $5bn FAB loan — there’s nothing special about it

How can the head of tax collection be a member of a political party's fundraising committee?
If the head of the NRS has so much free time on his hands, perhaps he should take a sabbatical and then work for that political party
You are destroying institutions in the name of politics
Rufai: You hardly offer solutions. For instance, while speaking recently you talked about adding extra megawatts and targeting 10,000 megawatts. Can you give a breakdown of how you are going to achieve that 10,000 megawatts of electricity?
Peter Obi’s response: Somebody said, “If I don’t give you power, don’t vote for me.” Did he tell you how he is going to give you power? So why must my own be in the marketplace?
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
Almost a 30 minutes address, man did not mention the name of a single politician,
They cannot talk without mentioning his name.
Haha 😆
I love Peter Obi.
Maybe I’m wrong but I think a government that demands accountability for how you spend YOUR money, but refuses to account for how it spends YOUR money, should be immediately replaced.
The Rent we pay under Tinubu's regime is enough to buy a house under GEJ's regime.
Meanwhile Kunle is telling me GEJ was a failure but Tinubu is a Master Strategist
President Tinubu has now signed the Electoral Act 2026, and it removes certificate forgery as a ground for challenging election results at tribunals. Politicians can no longer be disqualified over fake credentials.
Incase you didn’t know,
Now you know.
The beauty of old memories
