PART TWO
A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria@NGRSenate@HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:
DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY .
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the around 19 million Nigerian children - 27 percent- who do not attend school due to the threat of kidnappings, poverty and cultural factors, one of the highest numbers in the world .
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 70 percent of Nigerian children aged 10 who cannot read a simple sentence - the foundational learning crisis that your governments at every level have refused to treat as the emergency it is.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children buried under the rubble of Jos, Plateau, Benue, Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, and now Oyo - slaughtered in their sleep, in their schools, in their churches, in their mosques, in their farms - while your security architecture protects your convoys as you shamelessly drive around politicking in the land your selfishness has turned into a desolate territory.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children of Makoko, whose homes you demolished, whose schools you erased, whose futures you bulldozed in the name of “urban renewal” that is nothing but state-sanctioned cruelty against the poor.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 35 million people the UN World Food Programme estimates could go hungry in Nigeria in 2026 , among whom are millions of children whose stunted bodies and diminished brains are the direct ledger of your governance failure.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to children dying from preventable diseases in primary healthcare centres you have refused to equip, to children walking past abandoned school buildings to hawk sachet water in traffic, to the almajiri children you have used as political props for decades and then discarded, to the girl children married off before puberty in states whose laws you refuse to harmonise with the Child Rights Act.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to children whose parents cannot afford the food, the school fees, the medicines, the transport, or the safety that your governance failures have placed beyond their reach - even as you award yourselves allowances, SUVs, foreign medical trips, and pensions for life.
This is the reality. And the reality is not a “Happy Children’s Day.”
The reality is a National Day of Shame.
So I issue this warning, on behalf of every Nigerian parent, grandparent, teacher, and citizen who refuses to be insulted again:
Spare us your hypocritical statements wishing distressed children a “Happy Children’s Day”. Spare us your photo opportunities and deceitful performances. Spare us your empty words that carry zero weight for the safety of our children.

"Don't be deterred by their threats to rig elections. This time, our votes must count. If it doesn't count, those who refuse count it, we will count them."
- Peter Obi on 2027 elections.
The best voters sensitization you can see anywhere....
The message have gone local.
Kudos to everyone involved in this we will definitely reclaim our country from the looters masquerading as politicians.
Young Nigerians are on fire! Leave everything & listen to our Gen Z speak. I’m so proud of them!
Why should anyone pay over ₦600K for a substandard education in a public university?
NELFUND is a Ponzi Scheme. The APC almost got away with it. They removed the subsidy in Education, & ‘public’ school fees skyrocketed!
To make matters worse, you told them to borrow from you before they could go to school. How much did you pay to attend a public school? Which school did you attend?
Their struggling parents can barely afford food & rent. Where do you expect them to fetch the 600K from? From the poverty you created?
We have to speak for these young minds. We should never make the mistake of abandoning them. Education is a RIGHT, not a privilege!
Over ₦600K in a “public” university without functional laboratories, electricity, R&D, & a conducive environment for higher learning, is no education, but punishment! You are denying our children their right to a guaranteed future.
Education was under attack in eleven years. They want to keep you poor & uneducated.
Asiwaju is an octogenarian. He is not part of Nigeria’s future debates. His Generation are already on their way out. We Millennials ‘may’ have failed. But the APC cannot withstand the Generation Zoomers. The youngest among them is 15 years. The oldest just turned 30.
They came of age on Sai Buhari’s watch.
We must keep their fire alive. They are the ones to carry the torch. They are legatees of the New Nigeria that is POssible. They will protect the right of Nigerians to choose. The future belongs to these young minds, & we must protect their right to a quality & affordable education. We must teach, guide, & protect them. WE MUST!
The Church is not quiet. While we prayed, danced and hoped, we equally took it to the street to voice out our frustration to the highest insecurity, injustice and corruption in our Nation.
If you know any young person that wrote JAMB(UTME) this year and scored upto 220...tell him/her to apply for Mastercard Foundation scholarship at Pan-Atlantic University! Deadline is May 22nd!
