Calvin Bassey, thank you so much for your service. He was gallant, fearless and brilliant.

Didn’t bow to pressure, best player on the field by far. This performance is the best ever for a Super Eagle defender.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

OK I'm done. This ref is clearly corrupt. This is not how to win and I do not respect Morocco.

They can win 5-0 if they like. They're still a bullshit team and I don't respect them one bit.

Utter rubbish.

Sen. Hawley: “Can men get pregnant?”

Dr. Nisha Verma: “I'm not really sure what the goal of the question is.”

Sen. Hawley: “The goal is just to establish a biological reality...Can men get pregnant?”

American ideological divide 😂😂😂

[MONKELE @_Taaooma]

Guys don’t have the high hopes. The referee is against us.

[Jola @Jollz]

Nigeria needs to do it for all the suitcases Air Maroc has lost or manhandled.

[Nathan @OIuwatosin]

I expected the officiating of this game to be poor and biased. However seeing it happen in real time is just so disappointing

Congratulations to Nigeria 👏

Bassey yellow card after brahim pulled him first. lol ok na

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

JESUS CHRIST!!!!

This ref gave Bassey a yellow card for that?

The commentator said "its not even a foul, not alone a yellow card", AWFUL REF.

[MBAH @Mbahdeyforyou]

Calvin Bassey misses next match because of an illegal yellow card.

Where is the VAR?

['Fisayo Soyombo @fisayosoyombo]

That yellow card to Calvin Bassey is incompetent refereeing.

I hope the NFF appeal it after the match.

Supporting Purposeful Leadership Senator Victor Umeh Is Delivering.

Yesterday, I visited Francis Cardinal Arinze Secondary School in Nkwelle Ezunaka, where I joined Senator Victor Umeh, who represents Anambra Central. He made a significant gesture by providing over ₦60 million to cover the school fees of 327 students drawn from all 78 communities within his senatorial zone and beyond. This initiative, which he has sustained over the years, is truly commendable.

I encouraged the beneficiary students to take full advantage of this opportunity, reminding them that education remains the surest path to a meaningful future.

Through the Victor Umeh Education Foundation (VUMEF), Senator Umeh continues to demonstrate the profound impact of investing in human capacity and its immense contribution to societal growth. In doing so, the distinguished Senator exemplifies the kind of purposeful leadership that is increasingly rare in our political landscape. I congratulate him. -PO

Laying a Foundation for Education and the Future

Yesterday, I joined the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Jude Thaddeus Okolo, to lay the foundation stone for the Sacred Heart Primary and Secondary School in Ozubulu. It was a deeply fulfilling moment that reaffirmed my belief that education is one of the most powerful tools for transforming our society.

For this reason, I have committed to supporting this project until its completion by providing a monthly subvention. This is my humble contribution to ensuring that this noble vision becomes a living institution that will serve generations of children, especially those who may not otherwise have access to quality education.

In moments like this, we are reminded that authentic development is rooted in shared responsibility and sustained commitment. The Sacred Heart School project symbolizes hope, action, and our determination to invest in the future through education.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[TonySnip3r @tonysnip3r]

Stop lying 🤦🏻‍♂️
Look around… how many Nigerians can you see? You know why?
Because the tickets for Nigerians were sold ×5 the price, even by officials.

Even FREE tickets were turned into business.

This is why our people no fit show up. Painful.

Education: Rising Above a Broken System.

On Tuesday, January 13th, I visited Francis Cardinal Arinze Secondary School in Nkwelle Ezunaka and had the opportunity to interact with the students about the vital role of education in today's development.

I emphasised that the world is changing, and future progress will no longer be driven by physical assets such as land, buildings, or material possessions, but rather by ideas, knowledge, creativity, and skills. Those who control knowledge are the ones who succeed. Nations that recognise this will be the ones that thrive.

This is why I will always support education in every way I can. As a practical demonstration of that commitment, I presented ₦10 million to help develop their school. Education is not an expense; it is the best investment any society can make in its future and its people.

With education, a new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Anytime I hear people use the phrase "demarketing," I shake my head.

A man did wrong
I talked about the wrong
The man didn't demarket by doing wrong
But I demarketed by talking about it.

Make it make sense.

Why the Controversial tax law should be paused?

It is now undeniable that the tax laws have been fundamentally altered, and even a firm as esteemed as KPMG has pinpointed 31 critical problem areas, from drafting errors to glaring policy contradictions and administrative gaps. This revelation should prompt every responsible government to take immediate action.

Even more alarming is the fact that it took private meetings between the National Revenue Service and KPMG for these serious issues to be acknowledged. If experts require closed-door discussions to navigate the complexities of our tax laws, what hope does the average Nigerian have of comprehending the obligations being imposed on them?

Taxation transcends mere fiscal policy; it represents a social contract between the government and its citizens. You cannot enforce a social contract that isn’t understood or trusted.

Globally, tax policies are justified by delivering tangible benefits to citizens: improved healthcare, better educational systems, job opportunities, infrastructure development, and social safety nets. This is what the social contract signifies. In Nigeria, the narrative is all about how much more the government seeks to extract, rather than what it is prepared to offer in return. A tax system devoid of clear public benefits isn’t reform; it is, quite frankly, extortion.

Typically, months, if not years, are dedicated to consulting with businesses, workers, and civil society before tax drafts are presented for public discussion, with the ramifications clearly explained. People must be informed not only about their financial contributions but also about the benefits that will ensue. This is how legitimacy is cultivated. Yet, in Nigeria, we have seen no such public consultations or discussions regarding the final tax laws, leaving ordinary citizens completely in the dark about both the regulations and the benefits of the taxes they’re expected to pay.

We have hastily pursued collection without securing a consensus and imposed enforcement without providing adequate explanations. Even after the removal of subsidies, Nigerians remain in limbo, waiting for tangible benefits or relief. Instead, they are grappling with skyrocketing food prices, exorbitant transport costs, dwindling purchasing power, and escalating poverty levels.

Before we have even begun to address these issues, we are being thrust into an expansive new tax regime, riddled with inconsistencies and producing 31 alarming red flags from a leading global accounting firm. This is not the hallmark of responsible governance.

Without trust, taxation feels like punishment. Without clarity, it breeds confusion. Without evident public value, it amounts to robbery.

Nigeria cannot afford to place further burdens on its already struggling citizens. What we need is a government that listens, communicates effectively, and prioritises building national consensus. This is the only viable path to genuine reform, unity, growth, and shared prosperity.

A New Nigeria is not just a possibility; it is an imperative. -PO
