Update: We spent the weekend carefully reviewing the U.S. government documents provided to us. We found that #Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu (@OfficialABAT) is lying to the world. For example, this weekend, President #Tinubu and his associates claimed that the heroin-trafficking records have not been released solely because @TheJusticeDept (DOJ) and the @FBI object to their release to protect methods and save lives. But we found that President #Tinubu’s own October 23, 2023, motion to the court shows that he personally entered the federal case to prevent records concerning him from being disclosed and that he is communicating with the federal defendants: DOJ, FBI, DEA, and CIA.
In his October 23, 2023, motion, President #Tinubu argued that the records contained private financial and “law-enforcement information” and invoked FOIA and privacy protections (see pages 3–4). Tinubu went even further, arguing that the federal agencies (#DOJ, #FBI, @DEAHQ, and @CIA) themselves were not adequately representing (protecting) his personal privacy interests in court, which is why he wanted to participate directly in the lawsuit (see pages 5–6). But here is the smoking gun: Tinubu specifically requested 30 days before the documents were released to consult with the federal agencies (DOJ, FBI, DEA, and CIA) about what they intended to produce and release publicly (see page 7).
The court granted #Tinubu’s request to intervene on November 27, 2023. It was at this point that we believe the Biden DOJ went from stonewalling to absolutely blocking the release of the Tinubu heroin-trafficking files. So, in very plain English: Fact 1: President #Tinubu filed a motion in U.S. federal court and asked to be allowed into the case so that he could fight the disclosure of IRS and federal law-enforcement records concerning him. Fact 2: He specifically asked for time to “consult” with the federal defendants (#DOJ, #FBI, #DEA, and #CIA) about the records they intended to release and to assert additional protections and exemptions (see page 7). Nigerians, this is your President.

The children you don’t educate today while you steal money to build flyovers will grow up to become scavengers tomorrow and vandalise those flyovers you built.
Only stupid cursed politicians with zero foresight will prioritise infrastructure ahead of human capital development.
Last Week Saturday, I Was On News Central Tv Discussing The Outcome Of High Voters Turn Out.
For Democracy To Thrive We Must All Get Involved.
The People Of Osun Stood & Fought Against Intimidation & Nigerians Can Do Even Better In Our Upcoming Elections.
Fellow Nigerians,
The campaign period gives every citizen an opportunity to join the national conversation. I urge Nigerians to examine each candidate’s record and proposals, ask tough questions, and demand evidence behind every promise.
We should debate ideas without hatred, compete without violence, and disagree without weakening the bonds that unite us. When Nigerians make their choice, that choice must be respected.
Democracy does not end on election day. Citizens must continue to demand transparency, accountability, and results from those entrusted with the mandate to govern.
Nigeria’s challenges are real, but so are its opportunities. We have the people, resources, enterprise, and creativity to build a safer, more productive country. Our task is to turn these possibilities into results. We have the credentials, experience, and record to collaborate with Nigerians on this transformative journey.
Our journey will be harder if we do not unite as one people and one nation. A united Nigeria, guided by shared purpose and a commitment to fairness, justice, and equity, will make transformation easier, strengthen our institutions, and help us hold our leaders accountable.
Finally, the 2027 election must be guided by capacity, competence, compassion, character, and commitment. Our campaign will focus on the urgent concerns of Nigerians and not on ethnicity or religion. Nigerians must reject and disregard any campaign driven by propaganda, ethnicity, religion, elitism, or cronyism.
As my team and I travel across the country, we will listen to Nigerians, understand their needs and concerns, and assure them that we have the competence, character, and compassion to lead and reset Nigeria for the benefit of all.
Nigerians deserve leaders who will engage them, listen to their concerns, and present clear solutions to unite the country, defeat insecurity, pull people out of poverty, drastically reduce hunger and the number of out-of-school children, improve education and healthcare, and build growth that serves everyone, especially the most vulnerable. Every candidate must be willing to present their credentials, defend their records, and subject their vision to open scrutiny.
No candidate should hide behind the high walls of power, send proxies or surrogates to the hustings, and expect Nigerians to entrust them with the leadership of the country. Every candidate seeking the presidency must have the courage to come before the people, answer their questions, defend their records, and subject their vision to public scrutiny.
True leadership requires presence and empathy. No one can lead from the front without standing with communities across Nigeria devastated by banditry, criminality, terrorism, and flooding. You cannot truly lead people you are unwilling to visit, listen to, and understand.
*Now that we all have been called infidels let do our 35 million votes count!
*Listen to the Catholic Bishop of Nsukka Diocese, Prof. Godfrey Onah, passing the message in very clear terms*. Christianity is not Stupidity. Let us rise and do the needful.
By the Grace of God Spread this message to every Nigerian.
Forbid it Lord that I will not spread this Message !!
We have no business with IREV. It is cosmetic. We must approach the 2027 election as if it is manual. We are back to 2003!
We arrive at the polling unit with the mindset to stay there for at least 48 to 72 hours. We watch every vote cast like hawks.
We count and ensure each vote is counted and entered as voted. We do not allow so called human error of votes not entered correctly. 160 cannot be zero!!!!
In the meantime, all unused ballot papers are properly cancelled.
Ensure that the correct figures are entered ooooh. Our business is not to trust INEC!!!!
From the polling unit, we follow the ballot boxes to the ward collation centre. We vigilantly ensure that the votes are not changed!
From ward collation centre we move to the local government collation centre.
From local government collation centre, we move to State collation centre.
AT NO TIME SHOULD WE ALLOW BALLOT BOXES OR RESULT SHEETS TO BE OUT OF OUR SIGHT!!!
From State collation centre we move to Abuja. let states send some representatives) to come meet us in Abuja and stake out where Amupitan will be collating the results from all over Nigeria.
We will be there till result is announced the way people voted.
This election must be personal to everyone. If you vote and don’t wait for your results to be entered then you merely did paper painting not voting.
As for those that do violence, let their families know it will no longer be business as usual. Let everyone call their children to order.
I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.
A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.
They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.
They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.
Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.
The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.
Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.
At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.
Nothing happened to you.
The economy happened to you.
And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.
Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.
You didn’t lose your job.
You didn’t lose your salary.
But somehow, you lost your standard of living.
That is poverty too.
And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.
Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.
But surely, the bigger question should be:
Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?
If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.
But it has not solved the actual problem.
The real problem is that his labour has lost value.
And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.
How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?
How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?
How do we make food cheaper by producing more?
How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?
How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?
Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.
It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.
There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.
There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.
There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.
There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.
People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”
Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”
That is the part that keeps bothering me.
Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.
They just want hard work to make sense again.
And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:
Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?
Everything else is secondary.
More fire on Tinubu’s government from Catholic priests as notable fiery preacher and social commentator, Fr. George Ehusani blasts the government over its attack on Archbishop John Onaiyekan.
We need more Priests to speak out in defense of the Faith!✍️
As a former exco of CYON at parish level and current active member of the organization I shake my head in shame to this poorly drafted fabricated letter.
As a former two-term President of the Catholic Youth Organization of Nigeria (CYON) in the Army Chaplaincy, I didn’t need a second look to recognise this as a poorly fabricated forged press release.
The forgers in Aso Rock and their team of failures are now clutching at straws.
For God and For Youth…….
Bro, I believe in Peter Obi now more than ever. The Because imagine if Peter Obi had any stain on him no matter how small it is? They can't find anything on him that's why they are resorting to propaganda and lies to malign his character. I've always said that the character and integrity of Peter Obi cannot be found even on our pulpits
Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II
Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria
Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.
Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.
Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”
Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.
We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.
We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.
State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.
We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.
A NEW Nigeria is POssible. -PO
