Today, Sunday, October 5, 2025, I participated as a guest speaker at the first Ubuntu Africa Youth Assembly webinar series of the Global Peace Foundation under the organisation's Africa Renaissance Initiative.
The event took place at the Global Peace Foundation headquarters in Washington, DC. I interacted with many young people across the continent who asked insightful questions about ethical leadership, accountability, good governance, and youth active participation in sustainable development and human flourishing.
The Ubuntu Africa Youth Assembly aims to foster and strengthen ethical leadership, empowering African youth to become valuable actors in African affairs now and in the future through intentional engagement among themselves and with African elders who possess proven moral authority. It also aims to provide a continental platform where African youth and elders engage in ethical leadership formation and intergenerational dialogue, inspired by Ubuntu values, and foster collaboration for Africa's sustainable future.
The webinar provided me with the opportunity to share ideas on continental transformation, grounded in the ideal of Ubuntu, "I am because we are." Collectively, we can build a better Africa when we apply the fundamental values of Ubuntu, caring for one another, living for others and our society, and dignifying our most valuable asset: the millions of young people across the continent. -PO
Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump.
On behalf of my family and the Obidients Movement, I extend my warmest congratulations to President Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump on his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States of America.
Your victory is a testament to the resilience of democracy and the enduring will of the American people. It is my hope that your presidency will be marked by policies that foster global stability, economic growth, and strengthened international partnerships, particularly between the United States and Africa.
As you assume this great responsibility, I urge you to champion the values of unity, equity, and justice, which are the bedrock of sustainable progress. The world watches with anticipation, and we are optimistic that your leadership will usher in a new era of cooperation and mutual respect among nations.
Congratulations once again, Mr. President, and best wishes for a successful term. -PO
When done by some in Africa, it’s called conservation. When done by others, it’s a crime. A thread 🧵 on trophy hunting.
1. A trophy hunter, all smiles and feeling fulfilled, after kiIIing an innocent wild animal.
THIS IS AN EVERGREEN PROPHECY FROM AYO FAYOSE,IT IS ALREADY MANIFESTING. Mark my word, Peter Obi will remove Tinubu from office come 2027, the owner of Lagos won't be returning to Aso rock.
I am sincerely delighted at the reappointment of my very dear elder sister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation for a second term, effective from 1 September 2025.
The very heartwarming news was just announced by the General Council of the organization.
Iweala's admirable character, impressive resume, and litany of achievements in public office stand her out as a competent leader for such a noble organization.
With her very visible contributions to our national development and the global community, she remains one of Nigeria's most valuable human capital exports to the world, a symbol of hard work and excellence, and a beacon of hope and inspiration for the younger generation.
As she is set to continue to pilot the affairs of this global organization for another 4-year tenure, I wish her more health, strength, and wisdom to continue to stand for what is right.
Her rise to greatness through productive contribution to societal development stands as a lesson to us in Nigeria; first, as leaders, who must understand that leadership is a responsibility to care for the people; and then as a people, who must understand that our leadership recruitment process must be based on character, competence, capability and integrity.
Congratulations once again to you @NOIweala
A New Nigeria remains POssible. -PO
@AishaYesufu Those who believe Asari are children in Nigeria Politics. He’s still with Jagaban till tomorrow. He’s only acting drama and divert your mind from what’s going on. Know this and know peace.
You can bet whatever you have coz come 2027, he’ll campaign for Tinubu as never before
