“I’m Really Ashamed To Call Myself a Yoruba Man. Yesterday, Some Fulani Herdsmen K!dn@pped People In Abia State And Demanded a N10M Ransom. Immediately, Youths Of The Community Mobilised, Stormed The Bush And Assisted In The Search Efforts. The Victims Were Rescued Within 24Hrs. Did You Hear About It On Social Media? Meanwhile, Since The Kidnapping Of School Children And Teachers, The Youths In Ogbomoso Cannot Even Enter The Bush. As a Yoruba Man, I’m Ashamed To Be One.” ~ Man Reacts
BREAKING – Armed Terrorists have reportedly abducted children from a government school in Oron, Akwa Ibom.
The victims are said to have been taken further south.
Authorities have yet to release a statement.
I just stumbled on a video of terrorists in the North slitting the throat of someone in the name of religion.
My evening is ruined.
Tell me why the Armed Forces cannot bomb these animals out of existence.
Why are we living with these despicable creatures in the same country?
Why?
Kanu’s Conviction: At a Time Like This.
The news of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction should compel every well-meaning Nigerian to pause and reflect. This is coming at a time when our beloved nation is facing severe economic hardship, insecurity, and the consequences of poor governance.
Rather than reducing tension, this unfortunate development may well only aggravate it.
I have always maintained that Mazi Kanu should never have been arrested. His arrest, detention, and now conviction represent a failure of leadership and a misunderstanding of the issues at stake.
For years, I have consistently argued that dialogue, constructive engagement, and inclusive governance offer the path to lasting peace. Coercion becomes necessary only when reason has been exhausted. In this case, I submit that the reason was not only not exhausted, but was probably not explored at all, or not fully explored.
The concerns Kanu raised were not unheard of. The issues for which he demanded solutions were not insoluble. It only required wisdom, empathy, and a willingness to listen. In any functional society, such grievances are met with dialogue and reforms aimed at strengthening unity.
The government’s approach has only deepened mistrust and created an avoidable distraction at a time when citizens are overwhelmed by harsh economic realities and insecurity. While some may insist that “the law has taken its course,” leadership often demands more than a strict, mechanical application of the law. Nations around the world resort to political solutions, negotiated settlements, and even amnesty when legal processes alone cannot serve the broader interest of peace and stability. Nigeria is not an exception.
The handling of Kanu’s case mirrors the government as a man trapped in a hole but who, instead of looking for a way out, keeps digging deeper. It worsens not only the government’s predicament but also the nation's collective condition.
If we truly desire a new Nigeria - a united, peaceful, and progressive one, our leaders must choose healing over hostility, reconciliation over retaliation, and dialogue over division. Only by addressing grievances with justice, fairness, and compassion can we move towards a future where every Nigerian feels heard, valued, and safe.
My ultimate call at this time, without prejudice to how anyone feels about the decision of the court, is for us to be optimistic for peace and reconciliation which will come in the end. I am also saying, thereby, that the Presidency, the Council of State and credible statesmen who love this country and who are interested in cohesion and inclusivity, should rise to the occasion, for a lasting solution. -PO
I’ve seen comments from a few of our friends who use me as an example of someone who “behaves” well in court, even claiming that I LISTEN to my lawyers. They say this to create the impression that @MaziNnamdiKanu’s reaction to a compromised judge was the problem.
No, that is false.
My conduct in court has never been about agreeing with the judge. In fact, there are countless videos of me challenging judges openly, even when my own lawyers felt otherwise. I have always insisted on one thing, that is, that a judge’s duty is to deliver justice, not to turn the courts into instruments of injustice.
So don’t twist the narrative. This is not about “behavior.”
It is about the integrity of the courtroom and the right of every citizen to stand against judicial abuse.
