I don’t advise women because I believe African women get too much unsolicited (and often unhelpful) advice, while African men get too little. Nobody talks to the men about how to be good men, good sons, good husbands, good fathers, good brothers, good citizens. I try to do that.
I see people praising Wike’s son for his extravagant lifestyle, with many rushing to follow him on Instagram.
Some of you dnt knw what you’ll eat today bcos of how politicians have ruined this country, yet you feel no resentment toward your oppressors &their children.
Disgusting
First slide was last week, second slide is this week. None of the two incidents were discussed at neither the Senate Chambers nor at Security Council.
These people are discussing 2027 political dynamics at the detriment of National security. Cc @DavidHundeyin@firstladyship
I arrived in London, United Kingdom safely on Sunday, the 2nd of March morning for a busy schedule.
I made the trip via Air Peace business class, as is my policy when embarking on long-haul flights, particularly when I have to start work immediately upon arrival.
On arrival, I proceeded to Cambridge for scheduled meetings with development experts.
Our discussions centred on suggested solutions to challenges confronting our nation.
Coming back to London later in the day, I attended Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s launch of her latest novel, Dream Count, at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London. The event attracted about 3,000 attendees.
Her conversation with journalist and author Elizabeth Day was insightful, keeping the audience fully engaged throughout the event.
The event was not only a celebration of literary excellence but, more importantly, a testament to the immense potential our beloved nation holds if we invest in the most critical measures of development reflected in the Human Development Index (HDI): education, healthcare, and lifting people out of poverty.
Coupled with my earlier discussions on turning around our struggling nation and the exhilarating performance by @ChimamandaReal, I am convinced that with the energy and brilliance of our youth, a collective commitment, and guidance through good governance, the dream of a better Nigeria is within reach.
I remain confident that all hope is not lost.
A new Nigeria is POssible!

In 234, you will be given a goat to share to 10 people.
One man named DRE will take 100% of the goat
DRE will promise another man called PEOPLE the ears and eyes of the goat.
PEOPLE will then go online and accuse the other eight folks who did not get any goat meat of wailing and being unpatriotic
In the end, DRE will eat the goat 100%
But PEOPLE are so ashamed to be proven wrong that they defend DRE by saying
“Is he the only person to eat 100% of a goat?”
The same way Ronus deliberately writes “Ibo” instead of “Igbo” is the same way Very Dark Man insists on pronouncing Ndị Igbo as “Indigbo”—it’s not a mistake, it’s intentional. Very dark man has shown time and time again he doesn't like Ndị Igbo, but that's his cup of tea.
To the reasonable Yorbas I respect on this platform, who have been in my DM, advocating for an indefinite suspension of this bigotry system of government,
let’s have an honest conversation.
Show me where an Igbo man has ever written to Yale University or any foreign or local institution, demanding that a Yoruba public office holder be stripped of their honors. Omojuwa did exactly that to Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Show me where an Igbo man has ever written to a foreign embassy, requesting the deportation of a Yoruba individual. Qudus did it to @harreceipts.
Show me where an Igbo man has taken to a foreign space on Twitter, siding with outsiders to incite violence against Yorubas, advocating for their elimination simply because
"we Igbos hate them too." Aderonke did this on a South African space.
Show me where a Yoruba person has sent planes to rescue Nigerians in distress abroad, without discriminating against other ethnic groups. Allen Onyema did
Show me where an Igbo senator made hateful and inciting statements against the Yorubas on election day. Remi Tinubu did (Now, First Lady of Nigeria).
Show me where an Igbo king threatened to throw Yorubas into a river if they dared vote against his choice in an election.
The Oba of Lagos did that to the Igbos.
Show me where a Yoruba person was a victim of terrorism, shot, and crying out for help, only for Igbos to mock her, retweet insensitive comments, and have a field day at her expense, she eventually died. Woye did this to Dr. Chinelo, and Dipo retweeted it.
If you can’t provide a single instance of the above, then show me where you publicly condemned these acts and distanced yourself from them.
If you remained silent back then,
if bigotry wasn’t your concern then, it shouldn't concern you now, don’t come to my DM to preach peace. Your silence fueled the chaos we see tody.
Let’s be guided.
Let’s embrace this system of government!
We haven't actually started bigotry, when we start, it will be discussed in the green and red chamber.
Until then, we play to the DET.
Too much attention on frivolities as Poverty deepens is concerning.
It is deeply troubling that Nigeria’s political leadership is rapidly descending into an embarrassing spectacle.
We are at a time when our nation faces the highest levels of actual and multidimensional poverty, soaring infant mortality rates, millions of out-of-school children, one of the most insecure and hunger-stricken nations on earth, grappling with escalating insecurity and countless other challenges.
One would expect our leaders to be focusing and sacrificing solely on providing urgent, transformative solutions to this myriad of problems but not necessarily .
Instead, the national discourse is consumed by trivialities, whether it is allegations of sexual harassment or budget padding in the National Assembly, controversies surrounding State Houses of Assembly speakership, reckless Court judgments threatening to destabilize or deprive the State of funding to provide needed services to the citizens.
What is coming out of the three arms of government, the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary is disgusting and uninspiring. The Executive show of negative power as seen in Osun state, the reckless Judiciary pronouncement on Rivers State that is capable of threatening democracy plus the embarrassing scandal from the National Assembly all combine to give a gloomy picture of our democratic journey.
Leaders in these three arms should avoid undue disruptive interference in affairs of sub-national government activities.
Urgent steps should be taken by the leadership of the three arms to stabilize our polity and stem politicians from defecting to parties where they feel it will be easier to rig them into office.
This reckless neglect of serious governance is a grave disservice to the millions of Nigerians who deserve competent, accountable leadership focused on solving real problems.
The blatant display of political rascality, coupled with widespread irregularities, paints a distressing picture of a leadership that has abandoned its core responsibility to the people and is making governance resemble a theatrical performance rather than a serious commitment to public service.
While citizens bear the crushing weight of various hardships due to misgovernance, those in power prioritize personal interests and political gamesmanship over the nation’s well-being.
This mockery of leadership is not only unacceptable, it is a betrayal of the people’s trust.
Nigeria cannot afford to be governed like a reality TV show while millions suffer for so long. It is time for leadership rooted in character, competence, capacity, consistency, compassion, and urgency—leadership that prioritizes education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation.
Anything less threatens the nation’s stability, undermines the present, and betrays the nation’s future.
A new Nigeria is POssible! -PO
Arise keeps bringing on people just to attack Natasha ! & distract from the very damning strong allegations of sexual harassment against the SP. Do better @ARISEtv ! This should be a watershed moment not an opportunity to undermine the struggles and realities of women politicians
