Suspension of Examination Fees: A Victory for the People
I received the welcome news of the suspension of the newly introduced examination fees with relief. This is a victory for the Nigerian people.
While I commend the authorities for listening to the widespread public outcry and suspending the policy, it must be said that the fee was an unnecessary burden that should never have been introduced at this time of great hardship, when we should be doing everything possible to invest in basic education and reduce the millions of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
At a time when many families are struggling to make ends meet, access to education should be expanded, not restricted. Education is a fundamental right and a public good, not a source of government revenue.
Imposing multiple fees at the basic education level risks denying many children their right to education. At that stage, the State has a duty to invest in educating and preparing its citizens for productive lives, not to erect financial barriers that keep them out of school.
True leadership is demonstrated not only by making decisions but also by having the humility to reverse policies that impose unnecessary hardship on the people. Many other anti-people policies deserve similar reconsideration.
I thank the citizens, parents, and advocacy groups whose voices made this reversal possible.

You must have seen Peller's Stream with Cubana Chiefpriest, either out of curiosity, through blogs that shared it on your timeline, or from reactions from opinion holders.
Let us forget the moral angle, forget the lack of literacy angle, forget the mockery of the poor.
Here is the angle nobody is talking about, and which is also very vital.
The political angle and the blanket statements are important enough to address.
Tinubu will be a one-term president as long as Nigerians decide to play their role.
You may ask how.
Watch to the very end, and you will see exactly how Nigerians can ensure Tinubu is an OTP.
Lastly, I know I currently don’t have the audience to reach 100 million Nigerians, but I do know that the Internet is very powerful and if deployed well, can do wonders.
If you want to make sure Tinubu does not return in 2027, this video is for you.
Share as widely as possible, in this video lies the only solution to 2027!
@PeterObi India's "achievements are not accidental; they result from deliberate efforts to strengthen the centripetal forces—those elements that bind a nation together—rather than amplify the centrifugal impulses of division that continue to challenge us."
They came with offers. I chose the people.
Integrity over influence. Always.
Because the spirit of my ancestor is not for sale —
built on resilience, driven by enterprise, and rooted in unshakable pride. ✊🏾🔥
We are governed today by a morally bankrupt class, at the Federal level, in the Senate, and in the House. A nation in perils.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu will always do what he knows how to do best: corrupt everything he encounters.
Institutions decay at his touch, and the nation now bears the evidence.
Nigeria is not merely struggling, it is in ruins.
Accept it.
How else do we explain a Senate President, sworn to the public good,
reduced to a compliant accessory of a corrupt administration?
When it is not budget padding, it is the mutilation of law; when it is not mutilation, it is sabotage, legislative vandalism at a scale we have not witnessed before.
And yet Nigerians move about as though all is normal.
We are reminded often, loudly, that Tinubu was once part of NADECO. A movement later revealed to be externally curated, strategically sponsored,
a geopolitical experiment dressed as liberation.
And suddenly the picture sharpens:
a leadership class compromised from top to bottom. What remains is not a nation, but a managed wreckage.
We have returned to square zero.
Nigerians will either rise - morally, civically, consciously to reclaim their country, or watch it perish in slow motion.
In full view of the world, everything is collapsing: religion hollowed out, governance weaponized, and the moral fabric of society shredded beyond recognition.
There are no elders left in the room, only spectators and profiteers.
Private sector executives, no longer merely complicit, now cheer their fellow criminals, dressing theft in the language of “enterprise” and baptizing plunder as economic genius. You see them every day, dressed in polished suits, flying around the world like they own it, bunch of economic buccaneers who have bled the country into abyss.
The judiciary, once the last sanctuary has fallen into disrepute. The scales are broken. Justice has been auctioned.
All this devastation, because one man, an inquisitor who lost an election yet refused the verdict of the people chose to soil every institution in his path rather than accept defeat. For him, it was his turn “emi lokan”
I am heartbroken by what is unfolding.
But history teaches us this much:
pressure does not dissipate, it explodes.
Sooner or later, something must give.
And Godswill Akpabio @Senator_Akpabio must understand this clearly: the fire now raging will spare no one. You have mastered the treasonous treachery of mutilating legislations for your corrupt party and morally bankrupt Presidency, a reckoning is almost near.
It will not recognize rank.
It will not honor alliances.
It will not negotiate with power.
It will be merciless. It will be unforgiving.
A Tale of Two Nations: India and Nigeria
Today, Monday, Indians woke up to a tweet from their Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, thanking citizens for standing at the forefront of artificial intelligence, a technology transforming every sector of their society. He expressed confidence that the outcomes of the AI Summit would help shape a future for their children that is progressive, innovative, and opportunity-driven.
Yet in Nigeria, we wake up thinking about how to rig local government elections, how to exploit and impoverish the poor, and how to use the very children we should be nurturing for the future as tools for manipulation and election malpractice.
Nigeria is rich in talent, resources, and promise, yet we allow bad governance, greed, and selfishness to define our reality. What we are today is far from what we ought to be: a nation where every child can dream freely, every citizen can thrive, and leadership is measured by service and vision, not manipulation and personal gain.
It is time for Nigerians to demand leadership imbued with compassion, commitment, and character — leadership that works not just for a few, but for all, and that transforms promise into progress. -PO

Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the ₦10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO
The recent ActionAid/Plan International report, which highlights the devastating fact that over 80 million young Nigerians are unemployed, is an indictment of our leadership and economic direction.
Nigeria tops the world in the absolute number of unemployed youths due to our large population, with over 80 million youths without jobs. South Africa with a youth unemployment rate of around 60%, translates to about 6 million unemployed youths, still more than 70 million fewer than Nigeria.
When millions of youths are unemployed, it is not a youth problem, it is a leadership failure. This is the direct result of political greed that has failed to serve the people.
Nigeria has one of the largest youth populations in the world, with about 75% of our citizens under the age of 35. With such a large share of the population young, joblessness at this scale should be a national emergency.
It is deeply troubling that, rather than investing in these youths as our most productive assets, promoting and supporting MSMEs the drive growth and create employment, we the Leaders chose wasteful spending, corruption, unproductive borrowing, and policies that will shrink opportunities and expand poverty, reducing Nigerian youths to easy tools for all forms of vices.
Nigeria does not lack entrepreneurial and resourceful youths, what we lack are leaders who are intentional about creating opportunities. We need leaders who understand that jobs come from deliberate investments in production and from running a government that is prudent, transparent, and people-centred, that can lift people out of poverty.
We need leadership that will see the youth as the engine of productivity and growth of a nation. This is the time, more than ever, for the Nigerian youths to get involved and ensure they elect leaders who have their best interest and the best interest of our nation.
Nigeria deserves competent, credible, compassionate, and capable leadership, one that will create opportunities and empower our young Nigerians.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@fike_lomo@UtdGotham@Naija_PR God is a loving father. Because he loves us that much, he doesn't coerce us to do what we do not want to do. Interestingly, he always lets us know which path is the best and then allows us to choose ourselves. This is why we can't blame him for the bad things that happen!
Last word on this matter:
If the day comes when I am captured by Tinubu’s government and taken to Abuja, I will accept that my life is over at that point and I will not be listening to whatever fake "deal" they may offer. I believe that you should only step into this arena if you understand the consequences and potential repercussions of fighting monsters.
You saw how Dele Farotimi faced the kangaroo court with his full chest and stated that he did not authorise anybody to beg anybody on his behalf? That's how a man deals with the consequences of his own actions. You don't start begging and squealing and denying and snitching. You own it and face what it brings.
Unlike some weak people, if I am arraigned in court, my defence will not be that "@DavidHundeyin is not the same person as David Inyene Hundeyin." I will own absolutely everything that I have said done in good conscience. I said and did those things as a full grown man of sound mind and body, so I will accept the consequences of those things, also as a man.
Instead of desperately trying to cut deals and barter away anyone who might offer me some leverage with my captors so that they may grant me 15 more minutes of miserable life to keep begging and bartering, I will stand and face my firing squad like many better and greater men before me have done.
My individual life is not special.
For what it's worth, my decision to go public with PIDOM's arrest was pme of the best decisions I made this year. You could tell from how disappointed the APC handles here were after I did it, and they started spreading that "David outed PIDOM" talking point. In reality, here's what it did:
1. It's probably the only reason that idiot is still drawing breath on this earth. The government's intention was clearly to use him as bait and then quietly get rid of him afterward. Because he's a dumb guyman from Port Harcourt and not the Edward Snowden he thought he was, he did not see the (obvious) reality that he was completely disposable to them, and he took whatever deal they offered him. If I had not turned Isaac Bristol into an international headline, they would have had absolutely NO reason to keep him alive when they were done with him.
2. It protected me from what they had planned. The idiot got his brother - or whoever that was - to give me his Twitter login details, with the express instruction to start tweeting in his voice from his account. Think about the implication of that. If I had poster even a single such tweet, with a paper trail somewhere showing that I had obtained his login details somehow, and then he was later officially declared missing or dead, do you know what that would make me? It would make me the guy who impersonated a missing or dead person, having somehow obtained his Twitter login details.
The next thing you would see is Muyiwa Adejobi on Arise TV addressing a press conference, announcing that David Hundeyin has been declared wanted for the murder of one Isaac Tamunoebifiri Bristol aka PIDOM Nigeria, and the reason is that some unnamed politicians sent 3,000 jillion dollars to PIDOM's crypto wallet for him and Hundeyin to sponsor nationwide protests against Tinubu, and Hundeyin had a disagreement with PIDOM about how to share the money, so he arranged for him to be abducted and killed...
You dey whine Nigerian police? They would load 96 fuckeries on my head to the point where even I would have been doubting whether I was innocent. If you recall, even though this plan failed, the police still claimed in PIDOM's court papers that he had crypto wallets containing over 37 million dollars (image below). They were 100% planning to use that as "motive" proving that "David Hundeyin murdered PIDOM." Then they would have mobilised their social media terrorists to start pushing that agenda nonstop. You could have seen Foundational Nupe Mumu, Ridwan, etc building 5 bedroom mansions inside that Twitter agenda.
At that point, it wouldn't matter whether anyone actually believes it or not - it would just need to be somewhat plausible. They could then use that to issue an Interpol red notice and obtain an international arrest warrant for me. Even my Ghanaian asylum and my other residencies would have been invalidated by such a thing. All because of one greedy guyman from Diobu.
Honesty and common sense is what has been saving my life all these years. That's why my default response to everything is to go public with it. I have nothing to hide. If you want to step into this arena and fight the monsters I've fought, you better make sure you expunge all guyman tendencies from your soul.
This arena is where guymen get a bullet to the head.
And one more thing.
I have since come to understand that the entire "PIDOM" thing was completely contrived. It was a cheap gimmick for extracting donations from the public under the guise of public interest whistleblowing.
This random Port Harcourt abobi saw my work and its crowdfunding model, and as a typical Nigerian, couldn't rest until he thought, "How can I take advantage of this and collect my own share?" That's how he came up with the gimmick of calling himself an "investigative journalist" and threatening Nigerians every 4 market days for not sending him money.
"PIDOM" was just a content creator using a successful gimmick that even I fell for at a stage (after I had spent close to a year initially ignoring him because I thought his work was crude, his persona was hubristic, and his constant threatening the public for not sending him money was suspicious).
After a while, the gimmick became so successful that the Borokiri guyman genuinely began believing that he was Nigeria's Che Guevara, which is when he got sloppy and started making the mistakes that ultimately got him caught, like sending people his personal bank details, and using the same POS shop for all his withdrawals.
Now he may be out of prison, but he is effectively a prisoner forever. He can't even physically leave Abuja. I hope the attention and the money was worth it (because there isn't even a lot of money to be had from crowdfunding in Nigeria - I would know).
Before I go any further, let me publicly confirm that the original owner of this account is in fact, the one behind it right now.
Let me also confirm publicly that this person has now been fully bought and paid for by the government. Whatever his motivations may or may not have been when he initially started doing the "anonymous whistleblower" thing, he is now 100% owned and controlled by whoever was behind his arrest in August.
There are many things I could say, but I'll just restrict myself to these few key points:
1. After I led the media campaign that forced the police to charge him in court instead of keeping him in the FCID dungeon, this fellow - from his cell at Kuje Prison - tried to entrap me in a scheme that would have forever destroyed my credibility and put me in legal trouble that could have followed me anywhere in the world. I trust absolutely no one, so I recorded the entire 54 minute call in the event that a day like this might come. I have uploaded the relevant 6-minute segment of it here. Another well known person here was also on this call and you can hear her voice in the recording. If she wishes to, she will identify herself.
2. The number that he used to make that call is in frame 2 below. He also used that number to reach out to multiple well wishers while he was in Kuje Prison. A contact of mine ran this number through the national SIM registration database and it turns out that it is registered to one Hassan Jibrin, whom I am made to understand is a Director at the Federal Ministry of Defense. Though I have since blocked it, I assume he is still using this number to reach out to people and solicit for money or entrap them like he tried to entrap me.
Whether "Hassan Jibrin" is actually a real identity or not, what I do know is that when someone facing a major national security lawsuit is remanded in prison by the government and immediately given access to a phone, and the next thing he does is to call other people he knows are being targeted by the government and start trying to get them to commit to do something illegal and unethical, I don't need to be Albert Einstein to work out that someone is putting him up to it, and that whatever deal he was offered for his freedom most likely involved giving his captors my head in exchange for his own.
3. Since we are talking about "traitors," maybe I will release the rest of the recording where this galactic asshole lambasted Deji Adeyanju, his lawyer who was representing him pro bono, calling him a "baby lawyer" and incompetent, boasting that someone told him that "Peter Obi will hire SANs" for him. In the end, it was the same Deji who got him out on bail, after which he went and acted that drama for the cameras in the courtroom, hugging Deji as if he hadn't destroyed him behind his back.
Let's also talk about "traitors" who get caught by the government after doing what they say is public interest work, and then they give up everyone who gave them information or helped them. Let's talk about the biggest traitor of 2024 who got caught up in his own web of nonsense, ended up in secret detention, and then got his brother to try to convince David Hundeyin to impersonate him, a missing person - making me an accessory to a crime in the event that he actually ended up dead, which he very nearly did.
I held my tongue since September because I felt that it was not my place to destroy this PIDOM fraud, but now that your itchy fingers have carried you to where you shouldn't go, I'm only too happy to indulge you.
