"Each state should get ₦250bn from NLNG dividends, but FG has spent it. They said they won't pay state governors until after the 2027 elections. Are elections more important than development?"
— Gov Seyi Makinde
So kidnappers collected ransom from each family member. The kidnappers further told them to convert the money to dollars, and it was transported to the kidnappers.
I am shocked Gov Uzodinma is acting like the hero when the ransom was paid.
The government failed.
Governor Otti pulls off his shoe and says, “This is Aba Made.”
Proudly Aba! Many thought the shoe was foreign-made until they saw the words “Aba Naija Made” written on it.
His Excellency supporting local brands and proudly promoting Made-in-Aba products 👏

Unlike Other Presidential Candidates, If Peter Obi Becomes President, He Won’t Steal And People In His Cabinet Won’t Steal — Amaechi https://t.co/lMos6B5onj
If Peter Obi becomes president, he won't steal and people in his cabinet won't steal. The president's body language matters, even though I don't support him

What is wrong with this picture?
Be careful who you take pictures with. You may think it is just a harmless photo today, only to wake up tomorrow and see the person at the centre of breaking news.
Thank you, Obi, for ignoring that fellow.
Did you notice that PO's speech is more inspiring & reassuring than failed Tulumbu's speech ... that's how revolution starts ... Nigeria must be OK!

“Someone was a governor, he paid all the salary, pension, gratuity; he paid all without owing anybody.

Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change
I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey.
I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built.
Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people.
Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so.
Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment.
Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty.
The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character?
Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest.
Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.
Arsenal have scored 17+ goals in the EPL all via same dubious methods and have gotten away with many fouls in the box, blocking and groping Goalkeepers and Defenders all season. They would’ve been nowhere near where they are today if VAR were consistent. That’s the state of the league this season, inconsistent.
Congratulations to Victor Osimhen
I want to join other fans in congratulating one of Nigeria’s many talented exports, Victor Osimhen, for successfully leading Galatasaray S.K. to the Turkish Süper Lig title with a brilliant performance, scoring twice in the decisive victory that sealed the championship.
Your resilience, discipline, and talent continue to inspire millions of young Nigerians to believe in the power of hard work, dedication, and excellence. You have remained a proud ambassador of Nigeria on the global stage, bringing honour to our nation through your achievements and conduct. Nigerians are immensely proud of you and your continued success.
I have often spoken about the transformative power of sports and the immense opportunities it offers to young people. This is why the persistent neglect of the sector in our country is deeply regrettable. The truth is that Nigeria is blessed with countless talents like Osimhen, waiting for the right leadership, support, and environment to rise, excel, and bring glory to the nation.
I reiterate that a new Nigeria, where all sectors develop simultaneously for the balanced growth and health of the nation is POssible.
I wish @victorosimhen9 even greater success in the years ahead. -PO
