I was stuck in this gridlock for 6 hours+ due to the #EndSarsNow protest after church service. From Salem down to Chevron. The highlight was the intensity of these protests so far. The way we youths are saying ‘enough is enough’ to police brutality. 👇

This nursing mother was recorded by the terrorists after they were abducted few days ago in Oyo state.
The terrorists have since then beheaded one teacher and they still have 46 children brutally held up in a cave somewhere.
Let the whole world see this.
@Magatsheni90722@ruffydfire Nigerians, especially the tribal bigots, can you all see this South African lady seeing things the way they are. A lady living outside of Nigeria knowing that Peter Obi is the one currently best suited for president. This is not about Obidients o, this is an outsider o.
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has revealed that he held high-level meetings with top South African ministers and political leaders following recent concerns raised by Nigerians living in South Africa.
According to Obi, the discussions focused on immigration issues, regional cooperation, security concerns, youth unemployment, and the growing tensions affecting African foreigners, especially Nigerians residing in South Africa.
The former Anambra State governor disclosed that he met with South African Minister of Home Affairs, Leon Schreiber; Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Velenkosini Hlabisa; and Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie.
Obi explained that the meetings came shortly after engaging with members of the Nigerian community in Cape Town, where concerns about safety, peaceful coexistence, and the treatment of immigrants were reportedly raised.
He stressed the need for both Nigeria and South Africa to strengthen dialogue, promote mutual respect, and uphold the rule of law in addressing migration and social challenges affecting both nations.
Peter Obi also called for restraint, peaceful engagement, and unity among Africans, stating that violence, hate, and provocation should never replace lawful and democratic solutions.
He further noted that Africa’s progress depends on unity, economic inclusion, and protecting the dignity of every African regardless of nationality or country of residence.
The statement has since generated reactions online, with many Nigerians praising the move as a step toward diplomacy and protecting the interests of Nigerians abroad.

He was just a teacher.
He only wanted to teach and impart knowledge into his pupils.
He was kidnapped,
He was tied up and made to beg.
He begged for his life in tears.
He was thrown on the floor.
And his head was brutally cut off.
An action by heartless barbaric animals who serve a bloodsucking demonic god.
These are the terrorists that the government calls their “brothers”.
We should wake up everyday as a country and this picture should haunt us all.
Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
