Building a Healthier Nigeria Through Stronger Healthcare Systems
As part of our desire and commitment to building a healthier Nigeria, I met with some healthcare professionals and experts in the United States on Friday, June 5, 2026. The meeting was essentially to deepen my understanding of how successful health insurance systems deliver improved healthcare, especially in the areas of primary and emergency care.
One of our key health objectives remains unchanged: to expand health insurance coverage, strengthen primary healthcare across our electoral wards, train more healthcare workers, and make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all Nigerians.
A New Nigeria must be a healthier Nigeria.

The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.
Young Nigerians - Take back your country!

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
@AustineAluge1@omoelerinjare Na that consequence part I like most. He told them clearly, that they will be the one to feel the consequences of a destroyed Africa the most.
@AffamafulaJR@ronna256@VikakaSalvage@PFA@goal The same way votes are being divided by fans is how it will be divided by players. A player can only vote one particular player as the best, and just like some fans, some players will also think Gabriel or Raya is the better player this season compared to Rice.
“Oi, sou o Casemiro, tenho 17 anos, jogo de volante. Tô no São Paulo desde 2003. Já fui campeão mundial sub-17, sub-15. Já fui pra seleção três vezes. Fui pra Espanha com a seleção, Japão. E, graças a Deus, tive uma chance pra pra integrar o grupo aí. Vamos atrás do meu sonho pra permanecer aqui no CT da Barra Funda.”
H.E. Peter Obi throwback
I'm sure over 200 million Nigerians have never seen this video, because personally, I have never come across it anywhere before now. Different clips of him are circulating daily, but I've noticed that many Nigerian youths pay more attention to irrelevant news, celebrity clashes, and trending stories that add little or no value to our future.
At this point, I strongly believe Peter Obi was sent to help rescue Nigeria. His message has always been about accountability, production, education, and rebuilding the nation for the next generation.
The painful truth is this: Nigerians need Peter Obi more than Peter Obi needs Nigerians.
And if we truly want a better country, we must sit up, get involved, get our PVCs, and make the right decisions for the future of Nigeria.
Peter Obi may not contest forever, but the vision of a better Nigeria must continue with the people.
@TheShotChaser_@CRISGOATIANO@xAlexTHFC Paul Pogba was penalized when he blocked his face. I mean, "the ball would've hit his face/body anyway". But, Westham was awarded with a PK.
@miriodere@alaypatel4@tobyasky What do you mean??
What's the point of allocating time then?? So, because it's the last thing, we should now wait for 11 mins too for him to take a corner??
