By Making Excuses for Unverified Certificates, We Are Planting Poison in the Soul of Our Society
A nation that tolerates unverified academic credentials at any level of leadership, regardless of who is involved, risks destroying the very standards upon which a society is built. The issue is not about an individual. It is about standards, accountability, and the values we choose to pass on to the next generation.
We cannot continue to excuse blurred, missing, questionable, or unverified credentials simply because they belong to someone we support. The process through which people attain positions of responsibility matters greatly. How we get into leadership is as important as what we do with leadership.
If we normalise the abandonment of basic verification today, tomorrow we may have professors who never attended a university, doctors who never studied medicine, and judges who never studied law.
That is the dangerous precedent we must never allow. Nigeria cannot sacrifice its future on the altar of today's transactional politics. We must build a society where truth is not partisan, standards are not negotiable, and accountability applies equally to everyone.
History will judge us not only by those we defended, but by the principles we were willing to defend. We must choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiments, and the future over political expediency.
A New Nigeria is possible, but only if we are willing to do the right thing, even when it is inconvenient. -PO
Peter Obi will do well as Nigeria's president, but because I am a Yoruba, I will still vote for Tinubu. I can’t betray my path. Peter will do well but I will not vote for him. ~ Yoruba man
“If any street preacher gets bulli€d by the UK police for preaching the word of God I’ll personally pay for top UK Christian lawyers to represent you in court. It shouldn’t be illegal for Christian to preach the word of God in a Christian country.”

Nigerian businesswoman was left flabbergasted after receiving a ₦75 MILLION bill from the ITF over a business she started while in 300 level.
She questioned what the agency or Nigerian government had actually done to support her business for her to deserve such a crazy bill. 😭
If you’re claiming that this Sheikh Jingir is a bigot and he shouldn’t be taken seriously, what of the governors of katsina, Kano, & jigawa who were clapping?
We all know what we’re doing!
I'm happy that the speech of Sheikh Yahaya has gone international. International friends of the Nigerian Christians are now aware of the agenda.
2027 election will definitely not end like the APC and Tinubu expected. There will be consequences for political rascality.
Will the DSS invite the cleric for questioning and possible warning to avoid any potential religious crises before or during the elections or should we accept he is above the law?
@OfficialDSSNG pls treat.
In Osun state, APC Politicians are laying curses on the people as they share rice to them to canvass for votes.
Sharing rice to “buy” votes but also cursing the same people you hope will vote for you.
The APC is a despicable shithole of mentally deranged and depraved animals.
