@DrJoeAbah Isn't this an indictment that the 4 years spent studying in universities/ colleges didn't achieve the goals? Why don't we incorporate this framework within the current school curriculum. Give the money to the universities to upgrade their facilities.

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

@ProfDNgong @YarKafanchan What is toxic masculinity?

@Valkyrie9990 @elnathan_john Lol. El Nathan is funny. Sometimes, his line of thoughts makes one wonder if he needs help

[Stone @CBN9]

@etebster @DrMorwanimutugi A lot bro. But go for it; it's necessary for character development

[Stone @CBN9]

@asemota Quite true. Met a veteran in NY who told me about his days in the military and his role in some of the wars around the world.
In Canada, same cannot be said about the small talk culture. There's a tensed air that hovers, seeking not to offend, seeking to play safe, or disconnect

@elnathan_john @Benn_X1 That's why we deserve BAT since party hegemony is top of the agenda.

@alienf0x @_______Collins Same here... Swiss was boring until I started visiting neighboring France during weekends for hiking and buying fresh produce. Met amazing people especially Congolese there.

@rayverma @mrscmway I don't know what to say but pls hang on

[Stone @CBN9]

Same thing happened to me in Swiss but this time, it was my laptop bag with my cards and gadget.

Thankful to the bus driver who returned it.

I Lost my wallet in Tokyo. Like completely lost it. I had all my cards, my cash, everything. I was freaking out.

Went back to every place I'd been that day. Nothing. Went to the police station to file a report, not expecting anything.

The officer asked for my name and address where I was staying. Went to check the lost and found.

I came back with my wallet. Everything is still in it. All the cash, all the cards, even receipts I didn't care about.

I was shocked. Asked where it was found. He checked the report and said "Family Mart, Shibuya. Turned in by an employee 20 minutes after you left."

I went back to that Family Mart to thank whoever found it. The employee who turned it in wasn't there, but his coworker said he'll pass along the message.

I asked what the person's name was so I could come back. The coworker looked confused and said "he doesn't need thanks. It is normal to return a wallet."

Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Of course you return a lost wallet. Why wouldn't you?

I'd been living in the US too long, I guess. Forgot that some places, doing the right thing is just... normal.

@giwajossy Hi

Do you have any idea where Martins is right now?

[Stone @CBN9]

@iamReyDaniel @PeterObi When it's time for fools to comment, we will call on you. For now, go outside and play in the mud. That's where you belong.
