NIGERIA AT 66: OUR FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS

Fellow Nigerians,

Today, as we celebrate the 66th anniversary of our independence, I congratulate Nigerians at home and across the world.

Independence Day is not only a day for celebration. It is also a time to reflect on where we are, where we want to be, and what we must do to get there.

Nigeria is blessed with enormous human and natural resources. Yet, too many of our people are living with insecurity, poverty, unemployment, hunger and inadequate access to quality education and healthcare.

This should concern every Nigerian, particularly those entrusted with leadership.

We cannot continue to accept a situation where our children are out of school, farmers cannot safely access their farms, young people struggle to find opportunities, and communities are displaced by insecurity.

As echoed by our Presidential
Candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi, Nigeria must move from consumption to production.

We must invest in our people, especially our young population. We must make education a priority, support agriculture and industry, empower entrepreneurs and create an environment where hard work can translate into prosperity.

Security must also remain a fundamental responsibility of government. Nigerians deserve to live, farm, trade and raise their families without fear.

All through my time as a student union leader, parliamentarian, minister and governor, I have always believed that leadership must be measured by results, not by promises.

Our people deserve a government that is accountable, disciplined and focused on improving their lives.

Nigeria is not without problems, but neither is Nigeria without solutions. What we need is the courage, competence and commitment to implement those solutions.

On this Independence Day, let us renew our faith in Nigeria and our determination to build a country that provides opportunity for every citizen, regardless of where they come from.

A new and productive Nigeria is POssible, and it shall be OK with our country.

May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its people.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria. - RMK

I am appealing to those Obidients planning to travel for Christmas to postpone this year's journey because our elections are taking place in January 2026

This is the Indian Captain, Smit Machchhar. Remember his name. 🇮🇳

While flying 174 people from Dubai to Israel, Captain Machchhar was reportedly stabbed and seriously wounded by his co-pilot, who Israeli officials say attempted to crash the aircraft.

But Smit fought back. Despite his injuries, he resisted the attacker and managed to open the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to overpower him. Other flydubai pilots aboard then took control and landed the plane safely in Saudi Arabia.

174 people made it out alive. Captain Smit Machchhar helped prevent a catastrophe. India should be proud of him. Israel thanks him. A true hero. 🇮🇳🇮🇱

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.

Nigerian youths are wise enough to know the difference between light and darkness, irrespective of the propaganda and lies against Obi. You cannot deceive a man who is not blind.

Well said!

They will shut down the roads for a week and event disrupt air travel just to deny people returning back to their places to vote!

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, told PREMIUM TIMES that Peter Obi was duly admitted to study Philosophy in 1980. The university also authenticated the degree certificate examined by PREMIUM TIMES, confirming that he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Second Class Honours (Lower Division), in 1984.

These are the Ebonyi State citizens APC people say won't vote for Peter Obi.

This visit was an unannounced visit, yet people left their shops, work places and homes just to come show solidarity to Peter Obi.

This wasn't even a political event, yet people choke. Keep playing!

Peter Obi is wicked, after all the ranting by Dave Umah that Ebonyi people should not vote in Obi, he decided to go to Ebonyi State to show him sample.

Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Fellow Nigerians,

Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.

It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.

Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.

In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:

Where are we today?
Where do we want to be?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?

These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.

Today we stand before the world as a nation:

With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M

With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M

Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives

Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.

With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.

Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M

Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%

Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years

And the list goes on.

This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?

The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.

Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.

In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.

Did you notice that PO's speech is more inspiring & reassuring than failed Tulumbu's speech ... that's how revolution starts ... Nigeria must be OK!
