ABİKE DABIRI-EREWA, YOU CANNOT LAUGH AT ETHNIC HATE AND THEN HIDE BEHIND SEMANTICS!

Madam, you are not just an ordinary social media user. You are the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, a public official serving under President Bola Tinubu. Your office demands sensitivity, responsibility and respect for every Nigerian, regardless of ethnicity.

So, when you amplify a post describing Igbo people as monkeys, children of gorillas and bastards, and accompany it with laughing emojis, you cannot expect Nigerians to pretend nothing happened simply because you did not personally write the original insult.

You may not have authored the hate speech, but you chose to amplify it. That is precisely what you need to explain.

Your defence that you did not personally call Igbo people those names does not answer the central question: why did you repost that message with laughter in the first place?

And what makes this particularly troubling is the government you represent. This is a government whose officials routinely demand respect for the President and insist that public discourse must be responsible. Yet, when a senior public official is confronted with a controversy involving an ethnic insult, the public deserves more than an argument over who typed the words.

If the same conduct were directed at your own ethnic group, would you consider it harmless because the person sharing it did not originate the insult?

Nigeria belongs equally to the Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Middle Belt communities and every other ethnic nationality. No public official should treat ethnic humiliation as entertainment.

Madam Abike, this is not about escaping blame through technicalities. It is about responsibility for what you choose to amplify.

You owe the Igbo people and Nigerians at large an unreserved public apology. Not another explanation designed to narrow the accusation. Not an attempt to make the controversy about who misunderstood whom. An apology that acknowledges the hurt caused and recognises the responsibility that comes with your office.

Public office is a position of trust, not a licence to dismiss legitimate public outrage.

If you expect Nigerians to respect the office you occupy, you must also respect the people whose interests that office is meant to serve.

DEAR APC, PLEASE RECRUIT SMARTER TROLLS!

This is Isaac Newton’s kitchen, which he used in the 1660s. Here is another room, and look at his toilet too. Everything is remarkably well preserved.

I see so many similarities with the pots (Ite Ona) and wooden kitchens I grew up seeing in my village.

Tourists from all over the world come here almost every day to see these things, and we paid £15 each just to walk around and experience this history.

Nigeria destroys their own history.

Something was born inside me today.

Our time is near.

[PIDOMNIGERIA @UNOFFICIALFACT]

He is not a thief. He will not steal. He is not corrupt.

Can anyone in APC or ADC say the same about Tinubu or Atiku?

Vote Peter Obi to save Nigeria's wealth, economy and future.

Obi is a presidential material.

Smart.
Agile.
Prepared.

Vote NDC.

Nigerians,

General Sani Abacha is BACK! Do we have to form another NADECO to kick them out?

The killings have started! 💔

[Aisha Yesufu @AishaYesufu]

Well said!

They will shut down the roads for a week and event disrupt air travel just to deny people returning back to their places to vote!

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

This is what GRV proposed before the 2023 elections instead of Tokunbo ElPatek demolishing houses

I mean, why should you vote for a MIT trained cerebrally active, empathy driven leader when he can't speak Yoruba

The people I should be arguing with on Twitter.

Bloody idiots.

[PIDOMNIGERIA @UNOFFICIALFACT]

Vote Peter Obi.

He will never steal the country's resources and wealth with his friends and cronies, like we have seen over the years.

That endemic corruption will be a thing of the past because Obi who is the head is not a thief.

Vote NDC.

Independence Is Meaningless Without Real Freedom

As we continue to reflect on Nigeria’s Independence, we must remember that independence means very little if citizens cannot freely express themselves, within the bounds of the law, without fear.

Reports that some Nigerians in Akwa Ibom were arrested simply for identifying with the Obidient Movement should worry every Nigerian who believes in democracy and freedom, especially when such identification is a constitutional right.

One of the greatest tragedies of our society is that people who once described themselves as freedom fighters can become defenders of oppression when they eventually occupy positions of authority. Those who once complained about injustice can become comfortable with injustice when it is being perpetrated against people they disagree with. That must not be the Nigeria we accept.

Our independence must ultimately mean freedom from fear, injustice, intolerance and abuse of power.

Nigeria must belong to all of us. -PO

Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Fellow Nigerians,

Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.

It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.

Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.

In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:

Where are we today?
Where do we want to be?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?

These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.

Today we stand before the world as a nation:

With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M

With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M

Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives

Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.

With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.

Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M

Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%

Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years

And the list goes on.

This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?

The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.

Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.

In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.

Dear Lagosians, This is my promise to you.
I will never in any language tell you to live in your parents house as an answer to the expensive rents and housing deficit.
Instead we will work tirelessly to deliver a 100,000 units of housing that are not only accessible but truly affordable.
Enact laws that protect tenants and create an agency to investigate and enforce said laws.

I will never in any language tell you that Traffic is a lifestyle.

Instead we will deliver the entire rail network in 2years by opening the project to private sector procurement. Our focus will not be how to pad or steal money it would be on making movement in lagos more effective and affordable.

I will never in any language tell you that we do not know or understand how much waste is being generated in Lagos state, neither will we tell you to go back to you village when you complain about the state of the enviroment .

We will rid the waste management system of the corruption and racketeering that has left lagos covered in filth. We will create a waste to energy and waste to wealth value chain. We will build out proper sewage processing facilities and empower local governments to participate in waste management.

Lastly under no circumstance will any public official boast about expensive watches whilst so many struggle in poverty.

My promise to you is high impact governance, actions you will feel, because Actions speak far louder than words.
