Actually this is a “class action” I can get behind on my own dime. I’ll have a team do some preliminary research and if we decide to pursue, I’ll give an update. We need more public interest litigation.
Lionel Messi's recent stance, especially regarding Trump, may be open to criticism, but this photo is generally shared out of context.
The photo was taken in August 2013 during FC Barcelona's Middle East "Peace Tour," when Messi was playing for the club. The first leg of the tour was dedicated directly to Palestine.
Before traveling to Israel, the team visited the West Bank and met with Palestinians. At Dura Stadium near Hebron, a football training session and event was held with the participation of approximately 25,000 Palestinian fans and children. Messi and his teammates played football with Palestinian children on the pitch and gave them technical training.
I'm not saying this to defend Messi, but there is no concrete indication that he directly supports zionism. There is no need to hand the world's most famous footballer to zionists who are openly looking for supporters.
Every single part of your daily peace is governed by politics. If you're holding onto a cracked screen because phones now cost millions or you can't buy shawarma without doing mathematics, you are feeling the real-world weight of state failure.
Everything is politics.
I cannot stress this enough; In a (largely) binary choice such as the current elections have pitched before us, we don't have the luxury of sitting on the fence. We're either for or against. So if you're criticising Obi, you're implicitly in favour of BAT. Simple and short. If you think both are bad, the criticism of either is pointless in an election period; come back after the elections and work to put better people on the ballot.
For me, I'm firmly in support of Obi because he represents a better option than BAT. He's not perfect; I don't need him to be! He just needs to be better than the alternative and that he clearly is.
For one, Mr Obi has addressed the country more often than an actual sitting president who's presiding over a country in serious security and economic crisis. So I don't care for the content of Obi's media appearances; at least I dey see am steady. Whereas I no dey see the person wey suppose be my president.
The alternatives set the standard.
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
Good day everyone,
After my kidnapping, my mother had to borrow heavily to secure my release. Thanks to the kindness of many people, we've been able to pay off most of the debt, but we still have an outstanding ₦2 million left.
I humbly appeal for your support. Any amount, no matter how small, will help us greatly.

We have not seen destruction on this scale before.
The lower class have been obliterated. They have all been pushed below the poverty line. N55m more Nigerians pushed below the poverty line since Tinubu became president.
The middle class are in the lower class now.
Vote NDC.
