@ARISEtv Please could it be POssible to denounce Jesus Christ whilst professing Christianity?

@THISDAYLIVE As usual, no South Easterner on the list notwithstanding the security challenges in the region and the large Igbo population in the United States.
Planning to fail is the outcome when exclusion becomes a state policy.

@firstladyship Please who will tell Mr President's speechwriters that "recovery" is associated with dead bodies?

Anyways, they are used to counting dead bodies.

@channelstv Before this, there was a major incident in April 2024, when heavy rains caused the collapse of walls at the Suleja prison, leading to the escape of 119 inmates.

[ConsciencePlus @ChHeavens]

@channelstv FACT-CHECK: The most recent significant prison break in Nigeria occurred in August 2025 at the Keffi Medium Security Custodial Centre in Nasarawa State, where 16 inmates escaped. While seven have been recaptured, nine remain at large.

Indeed Segun is not Rufia.

[ConsciencePlus @ChHeavens]

@channelstv Daniel Bwala has lied as usual on channels TV. Unfortunately, Segun Okinbaloye once again failed to fact-check his guest. Bwala claimed that no prison break has occurred since May 29, 2023. Fact- Check:

We Are Finished!

I join millions of Nigerians in wishing Her Excellency, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, a happy birthday. May God Almighty, who has been with her all these years, grant her many more healthy, fruitful, and happy years.

However, I was struck by irony reading her request: that instead of cakes or newspaper adverts, well-wishers should donate toward completing the National Library in Abuja. On the surface, it is noble and selfless. But beneath it lies an indictment of our nation.

I recall that, as Governor of Anambra State, I too urged that money meant for adverts be channelled into meaningful causes—computers for schools and classroom blocks. Such gestures were never meant to replace the government’s duty but to complement it. The state still bore the responsibility of providing those essentials. That is why it is shocking that, in our present circumstances, while billions are easily found for jets, yachts, unused mansions, endless trips abroad, and other frivolities, the nation must rely on birthday donations to complete its own National Library.

What kind of country must beg for charity to build the very temple of knowledge? What kind of leaders waste trillions on luxury and vanity, while the National Library - our intellectual furnace - remains abandoned in the capital? Serious nations treat libraries as sacred; but here we reduce them to afterthoughts, begging bowls, or birthday tokens.

Mrs Tinubu was right: education is the most enduring legacy a nation can give its people. Yet to know this truth and still prioritise vanity is both shocking and tragic.

If Nigeria will rise, it will not be on the wings of jets or the splendour of mansions, but on the strength of minds formed in classrooms and nourished in libraries. Until then, the lament remains true—we are finished. -PO

The Seraphic Psychiatric and Old People’s Home - A Call to Humanity

Today, I met my very dear brother, Evangelist Ebuka Obi, at Lagos Airport, where he informed me about the commissioning of the Seraphic Psychiatric and Elderly Home. I later had the privilege of visiting the facility at Aguleri. I thank him for this noble initiative, which reflects deep compassion and a commitment to serving humanity.

The timing and establishment of this facility are most auspicious, especially in light of the recent World Health Organisation (WHO) report, which indicates that Nigeria is facing a mental health crisis, with over 20 million Nigerians living with mental health challenges caused by severe economic hardship and stress.

I recall that as Governor of Anambra State, I paid attention to mental health by investing in the Nawfia Psychiatric Hospital, providing modern buildings and equipment. Some may wrongly argue that establishing psychiatric hospitals implies a state “breeds mad people.” This is a misconception. Across the world, mental health is taken with the utmost seriousness, and any society that genuinely cares for its people must invest in it.

This has become even more urgent in our time, given the alarming rise in substance abuse among our youths. I have often suggested that one effective way of maximising such facilities is by organising excursions for secondary school students. Seeing firsthand the consequences of drug and substance abuse can serve as a powerful deterrent.

Equally commendable is the old people’s home component of the project. In a society where the elderly are often neglected, this initiative restores dignity, care, and respect to those who once laboured for us. Looking after our elderly is not just an act of charity but a moral duty, and a true measure of our humanity.

I sincerely thank Evangelist Ebuka Obi for his unwavering commitment to a better Nigeria and to serving humanity. I urge us, as a people, to pay closer attention to mental health and to the welfare of our elderly, ensuring that no one in our communities is left uncared for.

A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO

Any society where lawlessness overrides the rule of law is not destined to be a haven for investors. Recent reports showing that Nigeria’s human rights indicators have worsened merely highlight severe shortfalls in government protection for civil liberties, personal security, and basic living standards.

I know what I have been going through as a person in abuse of my human rights just because I contested a Presidential election which I have legitimate rights to do. So I imagine what small business owners, regular citizens, and vulnerable communities face every day. If this level of lawlessness can happen to someone with a registered company and legitimate means, what hope does the ordinary Nigerian have?

This morning, my youngest brother called me frantically, informing me that a group of people had invaded his company property in Ikeja, Lagos, and were demolishing the building. He had just come in from Port Harcourt and was denied entry to the property by security men who told him the building was being pulled down. They even informed him that this demolition had started over the weekend. As a peace-loving Nigerian, he quickly started processing to go to court immediately, not knowing what must have resulted in this, as they moved fast to destroy his home without any restraint.

I rushed to Lagos from Abuja after the call this morning and headed straight to the property. On arrival, I was met by security people who tried to bar me from entering the property. I humbly pleaded with them that the property belonged to my brother’s company, and from the records, the company had owned the property for over a decade. They told me they had a court judgment, and I immediately requested it. You would not believe that the court judgment they claim was issued against an unknown person, and squatters. I went further to ask about a demolition order or permit, and there was none.

How do you sue an unknown person? How does a court issue a judgment in such a farce of a case? No one was served. No name was written. Yet they showed up with excavators and began destroying a structure that had stood for over 15 years.

I immediately asked the excavators for the person who had sent them, and they said they didn’t know anyone, but they were only informed to come and demolish the house. I immediately told them to tell whoever it is that I would like to speak with them, if they can call my number, which I shared with the excavators, so that I can speak with whomever gave them the order to demolish the property.
I stood there from 10am to 2pm, waiting to get a call at least and nobody called or came. The contractor even said he didn’t know who sent him. Two men later came and said they would like us to go to a police station. I asked if they even had a demolition order but they had nothing. The whole situation screamed of coordinated lawlessness and impunity. Our country has become lawless.

I just started reminiscing about how just over the weekend, I had a meeting when someone told me how he has investments in Ghana, Senegal, and the Benin Republic, but won’t touch Nigeria despite his market being here. I asked him why. His answer was piercing: “Nigeria is a lawless country. Until we have laws that protect people, nobody will invest in Nigeria.”

I am just shocked. How did Nigeria get to this level of lawlessness?
What kind of country are we trying to build when the rights of citizens, their lives, their properties, and their voices are trampled upon daily?

I remain committed to a better Nigeria where lawlessness will be a thing of the past, protection of life and property, respect for human rights, care for the less privileged, and basic education for all children.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

And the Pope spoke. As in 1998. Pope JP II on visit to Abuja said to the Bishops after visiting Abacha: you have not been given the spirit of timidity. And Vanguard banner front page headline screamed; POPE OUR LAST HOPE. We pray for Leo IV as he prays for us. We mourn. I cry.

[ConsciencePlus @ChHeavens]

@firstladyship They waited until the Pope spoke against the massacre. Many of us are not impressed.

Should we bribe corruption to leave Nigeria alone. Evidence suggests it is holding Nigeria by the jugular. Or should we beg those who befriend it to shine eyes and see how it cripples dreams and castrates justice such that the world mocks us. If he be pushed aside we may thrive

@Newsweek "reengaging with South Korean strongman Kim Jong Un? I could imagine cynical responses from Pyongyang.

[ConsciencePlus @ChHeavens]

@thesunnigeria Believe me, Pastor Umo Eno has no intention to build hospitals. At least, he has told you where to go for healing. Ndi ara.

[ConsciencePlus @ChHeavens]

@DailyPostNGR It is not a crazy choice given that the rulers have gone mad.
