One of the greatest injustices you can do to yourself is to give up on your dream pursuit.

Yes, there will be uncertainty.
There will be business setbacks.
There will be several failed attempts. But none of these are strong enough reasons to discourage.

What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?

This question has become necessary, given where we are today as a nation and where we are supposed to be.
While completing my INEC nomination form yesterday, Section E, Question 1 caught my attention. It asks: “Have you ever been adjudged a lunatic or been declared a person of unsound mind?” The answer is either Yes or No. That question got me thinking: Can we, as the political leaders of today’s Nigeria, truly say we are exhibiting the characteristics of a sound mind?

When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abducted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from, and several billions are being siphoned frivolously through non-existent agencies and projects, should politics really be our primary preoccupation?

A sound-minded leadership would have declared these existential challenges a national emergency and immediately mobilised all relevant institutions, security agencies, experts, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to confront them with urgency and resolve. At a moment like this, the survival, security, and stability of Nigeria must take precedence over every other consideration. This is a time for decisive action, not political calculation or the pursuit of partisan advantage.

Further in the same Section E, Question 6, was: “Have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC?” Again, the answer is either Yes or No. This raises another important question: Why shouldn’t INEC, in the interest of ensuring that our leaders are exemplary in following the rules and to strengthen public confidence in our electoral process, publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office?

Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Sad: Our Children Are Now Pawns in a Deadly Ransom Economy

It’s heartbreaking to report yet another bandit attack on a school, barely three weeks after over 40 schoolchildren and their teachers were abducted and are still languishing in the forest.

The security situation in Kogi State has taken another tragic turn with a brutal bandit attack on Government Secondary School, Iluke, in Kabba-Bunu LGA. Armed bandits disguised in military uniforms invaded the school during an ongoing WAEC examination, killed the Vice Principal, Mr. Gani Anifowose, and attempted a mass abduction of students.

Reports from the scene indicate that local security personnel and vigilantes actively resisted the attackers and frustrated their abduction attempt.

Making educational institutions soft targets is a direct assault on the nation’s future. It creates a psychological barrier to school enrolment and worsens Nigeria’s out-of-school children crisis, disproportionately forcing young girls out of formal education due to fear. There is nothing more heartbreaking for a nation than being unable to protect its children.

My heartfelt condolences go to the family of the Vice Principal, who lost his life while gallantly defending the children entrusted to his care. May God grant his soul eternal repose.-PO

INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC)
PRESS STATEMENT

POSTPONEMENT OF NATIONWIDE VOTER REVALIDATION EXERCISE

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) held a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) today, Friday, 10th April 2026, during which, among other issues, the proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise was considered.

Following deliberations, the Commission resolved to postpone the exercise until after the 2027 General Election.

The voter revalidation exercise is a critical component of the Commission’s mandate to maintain a credible and up-to-date National Register of Voters. It is designed to verify and review existing voter records, ensure the accuracy of personal data, eliminate duplicate and ineligible entries, and strengthen the overall integrity of the voter register. The exercise also aims to provide an opportunity for registered voters to confirm their details and make necessary corrections where required.

INEC remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible, and inclusive elections.

National Commissioner,
Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee.

You don't build a team by gathering people alone; you build team by positioning people rightly.

In the journey of dream pursuit, one truth you must settle in your heart early is this:

You cannot go far alone. You need a team.

[Dr Paul Enenche @drpaulenenche]

A nation cannot move forward while lives are being wasted.

When will we choose people over politics?
When will human life truly matter again? 🇳🇬

QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED:

Is it not better to deploy all necessary resources to stop the loss of lives, rather than deny what is happening?

Is it not more profitable to protect lives than to prepare for elections over victims of preventable tragedy?

What nation truly progresses in a climate of constant crisis and insecurity?

When will we be tired of being a reproach among nations?
When will leadership be tired of Nigeria making negative headlines globally?

When will human life regain its value in this country?

When will senseless perpetrators be swiftly apprehended and brought to justice?

Enough is enough.
Lives must be protected.
Justice must be served.

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.

Your Level of Determination, Willingness to Sacrifice, and Consistency Reveal the Depth of Your Conviction Toward Your Dreams.

You Don’t Claim Determination — You Demonstrate it.

You Don’t Announce Conviction — You Prove it Through Sacrifice.

A Dream will Always Remain a Dream Until it is Backed by Drive and Sustained by Tenacity.

Desire Gives Birth to Vision, but Discipline Turns Vision into Reality.

Without Persistence, Even The Brightest Dream Fades into Mere Imagination.
