Despite Three Years of Tinubu's Food Emergency, Nigeria hungriest ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.
In celebrating his supposed successful three years in office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu listed some achievements in the agricultural sector, firstly, his declaration of emergency on food security in July 2023, followed by the acquisition of 2,000 tractors and 9,000 farming implements, stated as Nigeria's largest agricultural mechanisation programme.
Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria's hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria's hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure had since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026. Consequently, Nigeria is now classified among the world's most hungry or food-insecure nations in the world, with the World Bank forecasting that 33 million Nigerians could experience severe hunger.
In fact, Nigeria has the highest number of hungry people in the world.
I have always maintained that Nigeria have no reason to be seen among the hungriest nations in the world when we have fast, uncultivated land in the north, which is our greatest asset today.
We must transparently invest in Agricultural production, which will guarantee food security, but create huge employment.

Message to Obidients
I have said that the Obidients are the greatest political resource for Nigeria’s political transformation.
Now, listen
Forget the primaries
Focus on driving @PeterObi to the presidency
30 good legislators would not change Nigeria
1 truly transformative President will change Nigeria.
Focus on Peter Obi. Support NDC. Get to work
To the @NigeriaNDCHQ
I have been silent on your internal affairs I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt.
But you’ve taken much for granted. Far too much! My silence ends now! Theo Abu & Brian Dennis are misfits. There are far more decent Nigerians out there who can run your media.
Appointing the duo already puts you at the short end of the stick. You leave yourselves exposed to attacks from every quarter.
I am no politician; what I am is Obidient—an ardent supporter, no less. I see your disdain for My People. Your war against us is far from subtle. Your handwriting is clear enough for all to read. I see you aren’t out to win minds & hearts; you are out for vendetta. Perhaps to settle scores you made up in your heads.
Who appoints political jobbers to run their Media? Boys without a modicum of reputation. Whose minds can those boys change? Almost everyone has them on a blocked list. They are pariahs as far Political Twitter is concerned.
Both cannot win their polling units. They are errand boys to Abuja politicians; they have zero electoral values. To add salt to injury, both are anti-Peter Obi. The NDC is unthinking & unyielding, brash even! I can’t believe what my eyes have seen. I have been holding back. I had hoped to see a sharp departure from others.
But I was wrong, SO WRONG! So I take back all the reviews. You’ve shown me who you are, & I believe you! Who appoints notorious charlatans @TheoAbuAgada & @XBrianDennis to head their Media Communications Department?
It’s obvious the NDC as a party is out to shut the Obidients out. It’s obvious they are out of touch with the realities out there on the streets.
Perhaps, you’ve overestimated yourselves?
Both boys are on my blocked list. I have them nestled in there since 2023. Worse still, your party is enmeshed in allegations of corruption across almost all 36 states & the FCT.
What kind of party are you running? Are you that hungry? Are you that cheap? Your mess is rubbing off on upstanding citizens like us.
Each time you mess up, Peter Obi is the one that bears much of the brunt. He is now in the line of fire. Your house is on fire. How many fires are you going to put out? I am drama free, but I don’t like what I hate. I am opinionated, I have strong opinions. If others have chosen to be silent, I WON’T! I hate injustice of any kind!
I have never asked anyone for anything, NEVER!
As far as Twitter goes, I have no rap sheet. I have my own money. YES! I am no political jobber. I have never been paid to tweet, NEVER!
I am not on anyone’s payroll. Peter Obi remains the only presidential candidate I have ever campaigned for, at least since 2017. I DO IT FREE OF CHARGE! And yet, I’ve never met him.
We have no relationship, no connection whatsoever. He doesn’t have any of my contacts, except perhaps Twitter (otherwise X).
For a party that is supposed to be different from others, the NDC is already being accused of selling its tickets to the highest bidders.
How do you reconcile that with your body language & what you preach? You are in the eye of the storm. Sadly, you don’t know that!
I did not build my reputation for you to come & tarnish it. I have a reputation to protect. I will call a spade what it is. The NDC must come clean & clear their name. Who got what? Who paid who? I won’t be part of what I criticize.
You know me to be unhinged. I was mad long before I was born. I may be wrong, but I don’t think you are out to win the 2027 election.
You are playing the long game—to arrive at a predetermined outcome. I won’t tell Seriake Dickson what to do. But I will do what I’m supposed to do! What I’m compelled to do!
Morals & values must return in Nigeria. We must restore the throne of good men.
You have time to course correct; if you so wish. At the end of the day, I will leave you with no doubt whatsoever. My name is Nefertiti, I remain your First Lady. I will say no more! ✌️
@PeterObi and his Obidients have been the most transformative force in Nigerian politics in the two and half decades. The energies, the disruption and the ideas and vehemence they brought to Nigerian politics have parallel only in the 1960s.
It does not mean they are good or bad people. It means they have been immensely transformative. Any serious and fair-minded political scientist will admit this.
They should be resolute and press harder in 2027.
Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.
As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.
I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.
Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.
We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.
Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.
A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.
A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO
A Faithful Father in the Faith at 85
On behalf of my family, I join millions of believers and well-wishers across the world in celebrating your 85th birthday, Papa Kumuyi.
For decades, you have exemplified integrity, humility, discipline, and unwavering commitment to the Gospel. Through your teachings, leadership, and personal example, you have inspired and transformed countless lives across generations and nations.
As you mark this milestone, I pray that Almighty God grants you continued good health, renewed strength, and greater wisdom to keep impacting lives and advancing His Kingdom.
Happy 85th Birthday, Papa Kumuyi. May your light continue to shine brightly. -PO
Yesterday, I was in Strasbourg, France, to attend sessions at the European Parliament.
While there, I spent the day holding a series of constructive meetings with several members from various committees, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, to the Members of the Africa-EU Delegation Committee, to the Committee on Transport and Tourism, and Development, amongst others.
I appealed to them to strengthen their relationship with Africa, especially Nigeria, which stands as a key frontier for global development. Africa, as I reiterated, is a continent of immense potential, the second-largest in size and population, richly endowed with natural resources, and powered by a vast, youthful demographic. Yet it remains the face of global poverty, largely because of bad leadership and entrenched corruption, a reality clearly reflected in Nigeria.
I urged them to support the development of Africa, particularly Nigeria, by advancing good governance. This includes supporting our democratic processes in ways that promote the emergence of competent leaders with the capacity and integrity to transform our nations.
I also highlighted how they can support us in addressing insecurity, improving power generation and distribution, strengthening education and healthcare, and lifting our people out of poverty. This is necessary because our success as a nation and the success of Africa have a direct benefit to Europe.
I also underscored the need to invest in and support Nigerian youths who have an immense desire and drive for entrepreneurship and productivity, if well supported, but are now facing despair due to limited opportunities.
Africa and indeed Nigeria can and must work for all and contribute to global developments.

I do not think many Gen Z Africans have seen an African leader this confident, articulate, and eloquent on the world stage.
Imagine, just imagine for a second, that it was Bola Tinubu, Yoweri Museveni, Cyril Ramaphosa, Paul Biya, Teodoro Obiang, Denis Sassou Nguesso, Emmerson Mnangagwa, or Alassane Ouattara sitting there. The shame I felt while even writing this paragraph 🙈
Just look at the admiration on the faces of the parliament members. Look at how they listened to him. You need to see the respect in that room and how confidently they asked him questions because they knew he could answer clearly and intelligently.
This is what happens when competent leaders are given a chance.
Peter Obi is not just the man Nigeria needs. He represents the kind of leadership Africa desperately needs if we are ever going to regain respect on the global stage.
A leader who can speak clearly, think clearly, answer questions without embarrassing himself, and represent his people without making the continent look like a retirement home for tired politicians.
This is why most career African politicians do not want him to succeed. His presence alone exposes them. His clarity exposes their emptiness. His competence exposes their mediocrity.
Peter Obi is the standard they are afraid of.
The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.
Young Nigerians - Take back your country!
A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

This is what it means to speak the truth and stand as God’s witness against evil in the land.
This is what it means to use one’s platform for good, and not to cuddle evil animals in power or ordain their evil wives as pastor.
May God bless this woman.
RCCG is less than a cult. They are the religious wing of the APC. They vote for bad leaders, then they start to disturb my Jehovah Jireh.
Pastor Johnson Suleman said everything 👏👏
