Pelumi Onifade picked up a camera on October 24, 2020, and did the one thing Nigeria can never forgive a young journalist for. He told the truth on film.

He captured Olusegun Abiodun Bolarinwa, President of the Yoruba Youth Forum, firing a gun into a crowd of EndSARS protesters at Abule Egba. Live and Unedited which no one can deny. The footage that proved a politician shot at unarmed citizens.

Hours later, Pelumi is wounded and dragged into a Task Force van wearing a jacket that says PRESS. Days later, his family finds his corpse in a mortuary 33km from where he was taken.

Six years later, DNA finally confirms what every Nigerian on Twitter knew in November 2020. The man he filmed is still walking free. Nobody has been prosecuted or arrested.

This is the entire story of journalism in Nigeria in one sentence: the man with the gun lives, the man with the camera dies.

And NUJ. Where is the union supposed to exist for exactly this. A reporter is murdered for capturing evidence against a politician, and the body sits unidentified for six years, and the union’s contribution is a report co-authored with an NGO that nobody outside press circles ever reads.

If a young intern with no institutional backing could be brave enough to point a camera at a man firing live rounds, the least the union representing thousands of journalists could do is point a finger at the system that let his killer walk.

Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!

Governor Wike faced no serious challenger in the 2019 gubernatorial election in Rivers State.

Despite the APC adopting (Biokpomabo Awara & the AAC as their SPV — only days to that election), Wike showed no mercy in the fiercely contested power struggle with Rotimi Amaechi.

The judiciary made sure that there was no serious opposition candidate. The APC in Rivers state was factionalized. All the APC candidates who were loyal to then Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Chubuike Amaechi, were eventually disqualified. Justice Omotosho then ordered INEC — the Independent Electoral Commission to remove the APC from the ballot.

In 1998, the candidate for the AD, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, had no strong opposition in the Lagos State gubernatorial election. Lagos AD chairman, Alhaji Ganiyu Dawodu, originally announced Funsho Williams as the winner of that AD primary election before retracting the announcement, citing "incomplete results.”

Back then, the late Pa Ayo Adebanjo served as the chairman of the AD. He oversaw the screening & the review of the disputed results that determined the final flag bearer. He officially announced candidate Bola Tinubu as the winner, after the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, had intervened.

Funsho Williams was later neutralized. ❌❌

Don’t forget the role the judiciary has played in undermining the fragile democracy in Nigeria. Tomorrow is pregnant, some judges have a date with history. 2027 is neither ‘99 nor 2019.

Nyesom Wike & Bola Tinubu have consulted the archives. They are determined to reenact the same undemocratic strategy. But fear not!

THE NDC WILL BE ON THE BALLOT! ✌️✌️

[Sam Amadi @SamAmadi]

@officialABAT strategy to avoid electoral loss in 2027 seems extreme and desperate. I believe he will lose out. But it could lead to extreme response. The tragedy is that the current desperation and recklessness may destroy the entire edifice of Nigerian democracy even in their failure.

I hope there are enough patriots to step in and save Nigeria when that happens.

May Nigeria survive.

Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy

Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.

From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.

It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.

It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.

The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.

Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.

My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.

I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO

This morning, I, like several other leaders, officials, candidates of the NDC, and members of the public, was jolted by the order issued by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja and presided over by Honourable Justice Isah Dashen.

All I can say is that the order lacks legal merit and is intended to affect the foundational credibility and efforts of our party. The order is illegal and will not stand. It is against multi-party democracy, anti-democratic in nature, and aimed at narrowing and stifling the democratic space. It will be resisted by all of us and by all lovers of democracy in Nigeria.

We have assembled our team of lawyers, and they are taking appropriate steps to set the order aside and restore normalcy. I call on all members, supporters, and candidates of the NDC to remain calm and continue with their normal political activities. This is only the first test of our commitment and resilience, both of which are not in doubt. Even this shall pass, and the NDC and all our candidates shall cruise to victory.

We are not naive to expect that the tremendous progress we have achieved in the last five months would go without attack, but this particular development came from a very unlikely source. The application by an unregistered association, which is not a registered political party and has no exclusive right to any logo under the law, is shocking.

Moreover, it was not a necessary party to the suit because it had no interest in the subject matter. It did not apply for registration in 2025, it was not one of the 171 associations that applied, nor was it among the 21 associations shortlisted for registration.

So, we know where this is coming from. It is coming from those who are shocked by the progress the NDC has made within such a short period as a result of our hard work and commitment to deepening multi-party democracy.

We will not allow this to slow us down or break our spirit. The struggle must continue.

We will use appropriate judicial channels to correct the judicial anomaly that occurred under the watch of Honourable Justice Dashen. He has clearly erred in law, and we will take steps to correct it.

All our candidates, supporters, and teeming voters across the country and beyond should hold on firmly and keep the faith. This development shows that our efforts have not gone unnoticed.

I would also like to refer to my favourite quote on struggles "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win."

We are under attack, as I have repeatedly said we should prepare for challenges such as this. But thereafter, we shall win.

Even with today's development, thousands of Nigerians are joining us in solidarity. In fact, thousands of Nigerians across the country registered as NDC members today to show their solidarity, sympathy and support for our party. All things work together for good. Men may act with evil intentions, but if it is not the will of God, He turns it around for our good.

I sincerely thank Nigerians for the confidence they continue to repose in the NDC. Your support, encouragement, and belief in our vision only strengthen our resolve to continue the struggle to deepen multi-party democracy in Nigeria.

So after 6 years, DNA test results have finally confirmed that an unidentified body deposited at an Ikorodu mortuäry belongs to Pelumi Onifade. He was one of the reporters covering the #EndSARS protests.

Later in October 24, 2020, Pelumi was arrested and taken away by police officers in Agege despite explaining that he was a reporter. He was also wearing a jacket identifying him as a member of the press.

Days later, an unidentified body was discovered at a môrtuary in Ikorodu, Lagos, and it was speculated that the body belonged to Pelumi Onifade.

Finally it has been confirmed...

A government that kills her own citizens!!!

[Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo @ezekieldachomo0]

Today was one of the most painful days of my ministry.

With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart, I stood before 22 coffins as I conducted the mass burial of our brothers and sisters in Christ who were brutally killed on the night of June 21 in Kawel, Mushere, Bokkos LGA of Plateau State.

As I looked upon the grieving families, I saw widows whose husbands would never return home, children whose parents would never hold them again, and parents burying the children they had prayed and sacrificed so much for. The cries of sorrow pierced my soul. No words seemed enough to comfort such unimaginable pain.

These 22 precious souls were not numbers. They were fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and faithful followers of Jesus Christ. Last night they went to sleep hoping for tomorrow, but violence stole their lives and left their families brokenhearted.

As we lowered their bodies into the ground, I could not help but ask: How many more innocent Christians must be buried before the world hears our cries? How many more tears must be shed before peace returns to our communities?

Yet even in our sorrow, we hold on to God's promises. The Bible says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18). Today, I pray that God will draw near to every grieving family and give them strength beyond human understanding.

O Lord, heal our land. Comfort the widows. Protect the orphans. Wipe away the tears of Your people. Let the blood of the innocent cry out no more. May justice prevail, and may Your peace reign over Plateau State and all of Nigeria.

Though their bodies rest in the earth today, their faith remains a testimony that death cannot silence. We will remember them. We will mourn them. And we will continue to pray that God brings healing to our wounded land.

May their souls rest in perfect peace.

Tinubu knows we always move on to the next one!

But as a mother I refuse to move on.

Thirty Nine (39) innocent children are still being held to Ransom.
The GCFR should resign if he can't secure our lives and bring back those kids.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Has the Tinubu’s govt ever rehabilitated any of the victims of terrorism?

[Chidimma @The_Chidimma]

Yes. That’s why we’re trying to move him to the presidential villa. Go get your PVC so we can find Peter Obi a home!

[Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo @ezekieldachomo0]

How did the kidnappers release the body of the late General to the Katsina state govt for burial? And how did the state govt know he died of diabetes and high BP without autopsy?

Akpakomiza is attacking one man.
Dave Umahi is attacking one man.
Julius Abure is attacking one man.

Bayo Onanuga is attacking one man.
Kenneth Okonkwo is attacking one man.
Adams Oshiomhole is attacking one man.
The entire Establishment is attacking one man.

Wike is promising Rivers votes.

Akpabio is promising Akwa Ibom votes.
Dave Umahi is promising Ebonyi votes.
Dapo Abiodun is promising Ogun votes.

32 governors are promising Heaven & earth.

They renew the promise every market day. It must be wonderful to walk in his shoes.

Our man is on everyone’s lips. You will think he snatched their wives. Do you know what it takes for one man to put Aso Rock & the entire Establishment under constant pressure?

To the point of forcing grown men to renew their pledges on camera every market day?!

He is not your mate jor. If e easy, try am! 💪💪

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,

After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.

You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.

It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.

In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.

I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.

You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.

If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.

Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.

I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.

My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Hon Henry Shield @HonShield]

As things stand today, any Governor that reintegrates terrorists back into the community should be considered and treated as a TERRORIST!
