[Alex Otti @alexottiofr]

We received a delegation from the China Harbour Engineering Company Limited led by Mr. Nicolas Liu, where we discussed the proposed Azumini - Obeaku Sea Port and Inland Waterways Corridor project in Abia State.

I have granted approval for an immediate feasibility study on the project. While the company initially suggested a six to seven-month timeline, I have directed that the study be completed within a shorter period so that progress can be accelerated.

Alongside the study, we will begin the process of securing approvals from the Presidency, Nigerian Ports Authority, and the Federal Ministry of Blue Economy. I have also encouraged the team to visit the proposed site to assess its viability, given its proximity to the High Sea and the technical requirements such as dredging.

The project has the potential to transform Abia State’s economy and contribute significantly to Nigeria’s maritime development. With strong commitment, proper funding, and strategic partnerships, we can make the Azumini Sea Port a reality.

I thank the team from China Harbour Engineering Company Limited for their presentation and look forward to positive outcomes from the feasibility study.

Testimonies from survivors detained at Tiger Base Owerri Imo state reveal a disturbing pattern in which children arrested alongside their mothers are taken away by police officers and never brought back.

Amnesty International's findings show that these children are not simply separated but effectively disappeared — removed without any record, concealed from relatives, and never returned.

The absence of documentation, officers' refusal to provide information, and the deliberate obstruction of mothers seeking their children all point to a systematic practice that amounts to enforced disappearance. #Nigeria #Owerri

Reforming Nigeria’s Tax System Requires Trust and Transparency

Recent reports concerning a tax cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Nigeria and France have generated understandable public concern. While international collaboration is not inherently objectionable, agreements relating to tax administration, revenue systems, and data management demand a high level of openness because of their direct impact on public trust.

It is therefore worrisome that an agreement of this significance appears to have been concluded without the full terms being made public, and without a clear effort to explain its objectives, scope, and expected outcomes to Nigerians. Transparency is essential in matters that directly affect public revenue and institutional credibility.

That said, I am not opposed to engaging foreign expertise. However, such engagements must be clearly justified, with a transparent explanation of the specific gaps they are intended to fill, why those gaps cannot be addressed locally, and, above all, the concrete benefits to Nigerians.

This is especially important because Nigeria is not lacking in tax expertise. The country has a strong pool of qualified tax professionals, advisory firms, and globally recognised consultancies already operating locally, with the capacity to support tax reform and modernisation. In light of this, it is reasonable for Nigerians to question why external partnerships are made a priority instead of strengthening and leveraging existing local capacity. Sustainable reform should build institutions from within.

These concerns arise at a time of significant economic strain. Over 60 per cent of Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Youth unemployment remains widespread. Small and medium-scale enterprises are burdened by multiple taxes, while government borrowing continues to rise without commensurate gains in productivity. In such circumstances, policy attention should focus on simplifying the tax system, closing revenue leakages, broadening the tax base fairly, and ensuring prudent use of public resources.

Any agreement or policy initiative that lacks transparency, public confidence, and clearly defined, measurable benefits risks further eroding trust in government. It is therefore imperative that the Federal Government publishes the full MoU, clearly explains its rationale, and outlines the mutual benefits - particularly the tangible advantages Nigeria stands to gain.

Leadership demands openness, accountability, and commitment to the interests of the Nigerian people. Decisions of this nature must always be guided by what best serves the nation.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Reflecting on the 'Coup Glitches' in Guinea-Bissau

On Thursday, November 27th, I arrived in Abuja early in the morning after attending a productive meeting at the European Parliament. To my distress, I learned that our former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was caught up in the reported coup situation in Guinea-Bissau. I immediately reached out to him, and he assured me that he was safe. I was further relieved to hear that he had returned safely to Nigeria.

I listened carefully to his press briefing about the incident. Dr. @GEJonathan, who was in Guinea-Bissau as an election monitor, noted that the so-called coup appeared suspicious—especially because it was the president himself who announced the coup and shared details with the international community.

What makes the situation even more striking is that the election was reportedly peaceful, with the only remaining step being the formal announcement of the results.

It is safe to say that while Nigeria's own election was marred by a "technical glitch," the election in Guinea-Bissau seems to have suffered from a "coup glitch." Yet, to this day, no one has clearly explained the nature of Nigeria's glitch.

ECOWAS was quick to sanction Guinea-Bissau, but what does ECOWAS do when democracy is subverted not by soldiers, but by technology? What is the punishment for countries that announce 'glitches' at critical moments during an election? Do we only condemn coups that are visible with guns and ignore those carried out through a designed technical failures?

By addressing these issues constructively, we can work towards a New Nigeria and a more stable and democratic West Africa. Together, we can ensure that the will of the people prevails and that our elections reflect the true desires of our citizens.

The Guinea-Bissau scenarios represent two faces of the same crisis: one where ballots are discarded by force and another where ballots are obstructed by convenient technical issues. In both cases, the people suffer, democracy is undermined, and the region sinks deeper into instability. The outcome remains the same: the citizens are denied their mandate.

True democracy can only thrive when transparency and accountability prevail, and when the voice of the people is respected, not interrupted by glitches or coups.

A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO

What would be our response if 200 Catholic school children were kidnapped in Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, or any other city in America?

I have many coordinates of Fulani herdsmen hideouts that I’ll release with time. One of the major discoveries I made when I embarked on this was that most of the hills around Enugu were surrounded. I also saw the bloodshed in Benue with many communities now occupied by these herdsmen. More revelations will come but I have to be careful with what I share on X. Below is one of their settlements in Benue with coordinates: 6 57 19"N 9°20'53"E

Condanniamo con fermezza le rinnovate violenze avvenute oggi contro le comunità cristiane in Nigeria. La libertà religiosa è un diritto inviolabile: chiediamo al governo nigeriano di rafforzare la protezione delle comunità cristiane e di tutte le comunità religiose e di perseguire i responsabili di questi efferati attacchi. L’Italia esprime tutta la sua vicinanza alle vittime e alle comunità in Nigeria che oggi si sentono in pericolo per il loro credo religioso.

I am grateful for Congressman John James' strong comments in yesterday's U.S. Congressional hearing in support of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and condemning the Nigerian government's unjust persecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Congressman James' engagement on Biafran issues and the persecution of Biafran and Nigerian Christians is highly commendable.

Biafra Republic Government in Exile Acting Prime Minister Ogechukwu Nkere has had the opportunity to meet Congressman James in the past to discuss Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's plight and broader matters pertaining to Biafra (photo circa 2024).

[Rev. Fr. Chinenye John Oluoma #FadaOluoma @fadaoluoma]

The US and Us.

The United States Congress devoted time for public hearing on Nigeria's worsening insecurity. They brought different persons to testify from their perspectives and experiences.

They talked about genocide, banditary, shari'a, blasphemy laws and the things that concern us that our own lawmakers rarely talk about.

They mentioned people like Deborah who was murdered by some Muslim fanatics in a country governed by a secular constitution and her killers have not yet been brought to book. These are issues our legislators shy away from talking about, yet they are at the root of our problems as a Nation.

Everywhere you look, it seems our politicians and elected officials are carrying on with business as usual as if nothing is at stake.

Have you heard that our NASS had any ɗebate about Deborah and other victims of extrajudicial murder by religious fanatics? Have you ever heard that our legislators talked about the meddlesomeness of religion in our constitution and politics?

At what point will members of NASS begin to hold private and public conversations on these uncormfortable issues derailing and sabotaging the smooth sail of the ship of state?

Nigeria is supposed to be a secular state which guarantees freedom of religion. As it is now, it is a waywardly religious state begging for some freedom of secularity to survive. What the bigots among us rarely achieve with tribal and ethnic sentiments, they are exceedingly doing well with religion. Yet our lawmakers eerily mope on in their 'hallowed' chambers.

[Rep. Riley M. Moore @RepRileyMoore]

Devastating news coming out of Nigeria.

At least 215 children and 12 teachers were kidnapped from St Mary's Catholic school in Nigeria.

This is beyond horrific. Vague statements from the Nigerian government aren’t going to cut it any more. We must do everything we can to save our brothers and sisters in Christ.
