I was moving from hostel to hostel, encouraging the girls there to come out and register for PVC when I stopped to take my afternoon medication.

One girl in the group I was talking to said she saw me speaking to other girls in Block A when she was going to school. Now she’s back, and I’m here at her own hostel, Block D.

She asked if I work with INEC. I said no, I’m just moving around reminding people about PVC registration and the deadline.

She said, "You are doing well, but I hope all this is not because you want me to go and vote for Tinubu o”💀.

I was laughing, then one of them responded to her, “Do you think anyone supporting Tinubu will go through the stress of moving around convincing people to register for PVC? 😭”

Today was stressful, but that girl’s response made my day 😂💀.

Yesterday defenders of democracy, today's destroyers, What a shame.

What an irony of history, that the acclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights who claimed to have fought for democracy during the era of General Sani Abacha now find themselves worse than the man they opposed.

Today, General Sani Abacha, once presumed face of oppression, will be remembered as seemingly more democratic and more respectful of human rights than the so-called champions of activism from the NADECO days. Power indeed reveals character.

Every large economy in Africa subsidizes university education

Many don’t have oil

Algeria — Provides free university education for citizens at public institutions, a long-standing policy covering tuition and often extending to related costs.
• Botswana — The government fully sponsors university students, effectively making tertiary education free or heavily subsidized for citizens, including from pre-school to university levels in some descriptions.
• Namibia — As of 2026, tertiary education is 100% subsidized by the government at public universities, technical colleges, and vocational centers—no tuition or registration fees for eligible undergraduate students (first primary qualification, NQF Levels 5–8, including Honours). This extends to some private institutions and builds on prior free primary/secondary education.
• Mauritania — Offers free public university education for citizens.
• Eritrea — Provides free education at all levels, including tertiary, though often tied to national service obligations.
• Mauritius — The government provides free education to citizens from pre-primary to tertiary levels at public institutions.
• South Africa — Through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), the government fully or substantially covers tuition, accommodation, and other costs for qualifying (mostly low-income) students at public universities and TVET colleges, making it effectively free for many.
• Egypt — Public universities offer heavily subsidized or low-cost tertiary education, with government efforts to keep fees minimal or provide free/low-cost access to increase enrollment.
• Kenya — The government has long subsidized a significant portion (historically around 80%) of college tuition costs for students at public universities, though recent policy shifts (e.g., around 2022–2023) have adjusted funding levels; it remains more affordable than in many countries, with low fees even for international students in some cases.

Time to End This Cycle of Violence and Insecurity

It is deeply worrisome and unacceptable that, as we usher in a new year, the cycle of senseless killings and insecurity continues unchecked across our nation. Today, in Niger State, we once again witnessed the horrific loss of over 40 lives in a brutal terrorist attack at the Kasuwan-Daji Market in the Domo community of Borgu Local Government Area.

Just yesterday, armed bandits struck Bong village in Doemak District of Plateau State, leaving multiple people dead. Two days ago, several communities in Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State were attacked by bandits. On New Year’s Day in Katsina State, the Unguwar Naino community was also attacked, with several lives lost and many others injured.

These incidents form part of a disturbing and tragic pattern of violence that has sadly become normalized. The repeated failure to provide basic security for citizens is a national shame, and the toll it takes on families and communities is immeasurable. As a nation, we cannot continue to normalize these killings. The protection of lives must remain the foremost responsibility of government.

What Nigerians urgently need is an all-hands-on-deck approach: a coordinated, capable, and decisive effort to end the menace of insecurity that has become a daily occurrence.

To the families who have lost loved ones in Niger, Plateau, Kano, Katsina, and other affected communities this New Year, no words can truly ease your pain. Know, however, that the nation mourns with you. May you find strength, comfort, and resilience in this time of unimaginable grief. This cycle of violence must be stopped.

Prosperity cannot come by taxing Poverty

As I travel the world and meet leaders who have transformed their nations, one lesson is clear: lasting economic and social progress begins with national consensus. Transformative leaders—those who successfully unite their people around a shared vision—share a defining quality: honesty. Government must be transparent and truthful because citizens deserve nothing less from those who lead them. True leaders do not exploit their people to enrich themselves and a few cronies; they build trust, unity, and shared purpose - the foundation of sustainable progress.

It is against this standard of honest leadership that Nigeria’s current approach to taxation must be measured. If taxation is to function as a genuine social contract, it must be rooted in sincerity, fairness, and concern for the welfare of the people. Every tax policy should be clearly explained, including its impact on incomes and its expected contribution to national development. Without this transparency, taxation becomes a tool of confusion and burden rather than a mechanism for growth and development.

Nigeria must rethink taxation if it is serious about economic growth, national unity, and shared prosperity. The purpose of sound fiscal policy is not merely to raise revenue; it is to make the people wealthier so that the nation itself becomes stronger. Yet today, Nigerians are asked to pay taxes without clarity, explanation, or visible benefit.

The solution begins with empowering small and medium-sized enterprises in every community. When small businesses thrive, jobs are created, incomes rise, and the tax base expands naturally. You cannot tax your way out of poverty - you must produce your way out of it.

This makes the ongoing tax fraud saga particularly alarming. For the first time in Nigeria’s history, a tax law has reportedly been forged. The National Assembly itself has admitted that the version gazetted is not what was passed into law. Yet citizens are being asked to pay higher taxes under this manipulated framework—without transparency, without explanation, and without corresponding benefits.

There is no virtue in celebrating increased government revenue while the people grow poorer. Taxing poverty does not create wealth; it deepens hardship. Any tax system that makes citizens poorer violates the fundamental principles of good governance and sound fiscal policy.

Nigeria needs a fair, lawful, and people-centred tax system—one that supports production, rewards enterprise, protects the vulnerable, and restores trust between government and citizens. Only then can taxation become a true tool for unity, growth, and shared prosperity. -PO

Migrating from Padded Budgets to Forged Laws

Our national shame continues to unfold, evident in the decisions made by our leaders, even at the highest levels of government. This shame is highlighted by a deeply troubling—and frankly unacceptable—issue: the documented discrepancies between what the legislature passed and what was ultimately published as law by the executive. This is not merely an administrative oversight; it is a serious matter that strikes at the core of constitutional governance and reveals the extent of our institutional decay.

We have transitioned from a Nigeria where budgets are padded to one where laws are forged—changes that impact taxpayers' rights and, most importantly, access to justice.

Even more alarming is the introduction of new enforcement and coercive powers that the House of Representatives never approved. These include an outrageous requirement for a mandatory 20% deposit before appeals can be heard in court, asset sales without judicial oversight, and the granting of arrest powers to tax authorities.

Perhaps most disturbing is the silence of the Presidency on a matter involving allegations of forgery, institutional sabotage, and abuse of process. Who made these alterations?

All of this must be made public. Nigerians need to understand what was signed, what was passed, and what was formally recorded. We cannot continue to ask citizens to pay more taxes while trust in governance collapses.

We need leadership that follows due process, embraces transparency and accountability, and respects the rule of law. No nation can thrive where laws are forged and silence replaces leadership.

Two years we have spent under this administration. And these two have been the darkest in Nigerian history (bar the civil war) by every single metric.

Yet, I should come and explain to some people online why I think elections should have consequences? Lol!
