"Some politicians are behind the Oriire kidnappings to destabilize President Bola Tinubu's administration. I want permission to enter the bush to rescue those children" - Sunday Igboho.

[Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole]

Why is Peter Obi always showing up where he wasn’t invited? Not every event has to become a political opportunity. If you’re not invited, simply stay away. Constantly gate-crashing events in the name of politics only creates unnecessary embarrassment.

For a better, more prosperous, and united Nigeria, think Atiku Abubakar.

Nigeria needs experienced leadership to tackle insecurity, strengthen the economy, create opportunities, and build a more prosperous future for all.

[Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole]

So, according to your argument, the kidnapping of innocent children is merely a political payback against Makinde? Is that really what you’re trying to tell Nigerians?

[Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole]

Insecurity everywhere: Pray.
Fuel at ₦1,400 per litre: Pray.
Skyrocketing inflation: Pray.
No stable electricity: Pray.
Bad leadership: Pray.

At this point, it seems the only policy being offered to Nigerians is: “Pray and endure.” 💔🇳🇬

Do we still have the NLC and TUC in Nigeria?

With the rising cost of living, soaring food prices, worsening insecurity, and the daily economic hardship facing ordinary Nigerians, one would expect the voices of organised labour to be loud and clear.

There was a time when the NLC and TUC stood firmly as the conscience of the masses, speaking up whenever government policies threatened the welfare of citizens. Today, many Nigerians are asking questions.

Where are the protests? Where are the press conferences? Where is the sustained pressure for better wages, affordable living conditions, and improved social protection?

Millions of workers are struggling to survive, yet labour seems unusually quiet. If ever there was a time for the NLC and TUC to be visible, vocal, and active, it is now.

Do we still have the NLC and TUC, or have Nigerians been left to face these challenges alone?

Under Nigerian law, the way a woman dresses is not a licence for harassment, intimidation, or assault. Every citizen is entitled to dignity of human person and right to personal liberty under the Constitution.

These men who harassed this lady because of her appearance must be brought to justice.

No one deserves abuse simply because of how they choose to dress.

[Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole]

This is unacceptable. If the situation were reversed, the internet would be in an uproar. How can a woman slap her husband💔

@renoomokri Criticizing government policies is fair, but declaring that Nigeria is dead is an exaggeration that ignores measurable economic progress.

[Reno Omokri @renoomokri]

No, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Nigeria is not dead. She is very much alive and thriving!

As open a society as America is, there are limits on freedom of speech, such that pastors, priests, and other religious clerics cannot legally endorse, attack, or ask their congregations to support or donate money to a candidate while they are in church and acting as ministers of God. If they do, they will lose their (501(c)(3)) status and face other punitive measures.

The same is true in the United Kingdom.

So, why would Nigerian clerics think they can stand on their altars and pulpits and begin attacking or endorsing specific candidates, undermining the government of the day, or say things like "Nigeria is dead", while others call for revolutions?

In case Pastor Paul Adefarasin is not aware, the reason Nigeria became bankrupt and was almost a beggar nation in the early eighties, when his father's ₦18,000 salary was so high, was that the Nigerian naira was strictly pegged to the US dollar under President Shehu Shagari's administration.

What that meant was that the Naira was tied to the value of the US Dollar, not to the productivity of the Nigerian economy, meaning that Nigeria had to cover the gap between the real value of the Naira, which was then abysmally low, and its pegged value, by frittering away our foreign reserves and taking on loans.

That is why the Shagari Administration was forced to introduce major national austerity measures on Wednesday, April 21, 1982, or the Nigerian economy would have collapsed!

To put things in proper perspective, since President Bola Tinubu introduced the Naira's flotation, which is the same economic policy driving the US Dollar, Nigeria's GDP has consistently grown at an average of 4% per annum.

By contrast, when Paul Adefarasin's father was Chief Judge of Lagos, and, according to him, was earning ₦18,000, Nigeria experienced economic recession, and our GDP did not grow. It shrank.

In 1981, our GDP growth rate was -20.8%. In 1982, it was -10.3%. In 1983, it was -5.0%.

And why were we having negative growth rates under Shagari, when Justice Adefarasin was Chief Judge of Lagos?

Because Nigeria was using the money we should have used to fund our economic growth to defend the Naira, which was pegged to the US Dollar.

Pegging a currency to the US dollar demands massive foreign reserves, and when you deplete your foreign reserves, you will have to borrow!

In contrast, since President Bola Tinubu floated the Naira, Nigeria has experienced an UNPRECEDENTED 12 cycles of GDP growth and trade surpluses.

Nigeria’s GDP growth rate for the full year 2024 was 3.38%. It was 3.87% in 2025. In 2026, the IMF projects that our GDP will grow above 4%.

And yet someone is saying our country is dead, then nostalgically painting the early eighties as a utopian period of economic bliss?

We are not all suffering from amnesia!

This is an area in which I am an authority, as I have a Master's in Law from England and completed my dissertation on International Banking and Finance Law before working in the British Parliament.

Nigeria under Shagari was a dumping ground for imports from all over the world. We were importing toothpicks and pizzas, and had a negative trade balance.

Today, under President Tinubu, the IMF listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025.

We now have a positive trade balance and have added $67 billion to the economy, having moved from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.

How many Nigerian Pentecostal pastors had private jets, private runways, Rolls-Royces and private universities in the eighties? Today, is that not their lifestyle?

If Nigeria were dead, would Adefarasin be driving around Lagos in various high-end luxury vehicles and getting into road rage incidents with fellow motorists and pedestrians, which necessitated police intervention?

[Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole]

NDC says it conducted primaries, yet no aspirant can confidently say whether they won or lost. No results at the Ward level. No results at the LGA level. No results at the State level.

Apparently, the only results that matter are the ones being compiled in the Supreme Leader’s living room.

If this is how an opposition party handles its internal affairs, imagine handing them a country.

[Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole]

Peter Obi failed Aisha Yesufu! How can someone be following you up and down, and when it was time to negotiate tickets, Peter negotiated for himself and left Aisha Yesufu to her fate? What a selfish man. Now, Aisha Yesufu has become a laughing stock, to the extent that Wike is now mocking her.

We can’t continue like this.

@renoomokri The conversation around State Police is long overdue. Localized security structures are clearly necessary. Whether people agree or not, the timing similarities highlighted here are genuinely thought-provoking.

[Reno Omokri @renoomokri]

Could There Be a Hidden Finger Behind the Ogbomosho Abduction?

Before commenting, please read this and think critically, rather than just reacting emotionally.

On Monday, April 14, 2014, 276 girls were abducted from the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, by Boko Haram. As a result, #BringBackOurGirls erupted and soon became a cause célèbre.

That abduction became the single biggest factor in determining the outcome of the Nigerian Presidential election on Saturday, March 28, 2015.

Now, a similar abduction has occurred on Friday, May 15, 2026, at a time when Nigeria is facing another bitterly contested Presidential election.

The actual intent behind these recurring actions may be deeper than we think. So let us be sentient beings and think, rather than just emote in a knee jerk reaction.

Mathematically, what are the odds of two Southern Presidents facing almost exact scenarios occurring at a period almost equidistant to their elections?

The chances that this is a coincidence are slim.

Nevertheless, the focus ought to be on rescuing the pupils and teachers.

And then there is prevention.

That was why President Bola Tinubu launched the State Police initiative, and on Thursday, March 5, 2026, the Tinubu administration inaugurated a committee to develop a comprehensive framework for the establishment and governance of state police in Nigeria.

So, for Governor Seyi Makinde to say that the President was against State Police, which is why he set up Amotekun, is most unfortunate and fallacious.

Saying that the Tinubu government "should stop wasting Nigerians’ time" on State Police is sad.

First of all, Amotekun (officially the Western Nigeria Security Network) was established on Thursday, January 9, 2020. More than three years before President Tinubu became President.

So, how could President Tinubu have been against State Police when he had no power to order or prevent its implementation?

Secondly, the primary driving force behind the establishment of the Western Nigeria Security Network, AKA Amotekun, was not Governor Seyi Makinde. It was Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, a Tinubu ally, who only became Governor with Asiwaju Tinubu's backing.

So, let us stop all this bickering and face the issues at stake. There may be an as-yet invisible finger behind this abduction, and we should not get emotional about this issue, as we all did in 2014, during the Chibok abduction.

Nigerians may recall that before he died under mysterious circumstances, Obadiah Mailafia, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, had on Tuesday, August 11, 2020, said during an interview that repentant bandits told him that a then-sitting Governor was their Commander-in-Chief.

And truly, soon after he made that statement, a sitting Governor admitted in a Channels Television interview that he traced bandits to the locations of their powwows and paid them. Paid them for what?

And then, last year, that same individual, as disgruntled as he was under President Jonathan, vowed to ensure that President Tinubu would not be reelected!

Please fact-check me: That same individual made the exact threat in 2014 against President Jonathan.

If a person can threaten the lives of foreign election observers, what can't they do?

And now bandits have given us a déjà vu of the Chibok Girls abduction in Ogbomosho.

It may or may not be a coincidence. But if we are all emotional, reactionary, angry, and pointing fingers at each other, rather than approaching those issues with critical thinking, we will never know.

Again, it is unfortunate that this abduction occurred, and His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, is doing everything within his powers to rescue the remaining pupils and their teachers.

But let us not allow ourselves to become so worked up that we do not realise that we may be being set up.
