Yesterday, I was in Strasbourg, France, to attend sessions at the European Parliament.
While there, I spent the day holding a series of constructive meetings with several members from various committees, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, to the Members of the Africa-EU Delegation Committee, to the Committee on Transport and Tourism, and Development, amongst others.
I appealed to them to strengthen their relationship with Africa, especially Nigeria, which stands as a key frontier for global development. Africa, as I reiterated, is a continent of immense potential, the second-largest in size and population, richly endowed with natural resources, and powered by a vast, youthful demographic. Yet it remains the face of global poverty, largely because of bad leadership and entrenched corruption, a reality clearly reflected in Nigeria.
I urged them to support the development of Africa, particularly Nigeria, by advancing good governance. This includes supporting our democratic processes in ways that promote the emergence of competent leaders with the capacity and integrity to transform our nations.
I also highlighted how they can support us in addressing insecurity, improving power generation and distribution, strengthening education and healthcare, and lifting our people out of poverty. This is necessary because our success as a nation and the success of Africa have a direct benefit to Europe.
I also underscored the need to invest in and support Nigerian youths who have an immense desire and drive for entrepreneurship and productivity, if well supported, but are now facing despair due to limited opportunities.
Africa and indeed Nigeria can and must work for all and contribute to global developments.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

VIDEO: OYO CHILDREN ABDUCTION; Chants of ‘Tinubu Ole’ Dominates the Streets of Oyo State as Residents Protests the Failure of the APC Government To Secure the Release of the Kidnapped School Children
I am deeply disturbed by the ongoing plight of the abducted students and teachers, kidnapped from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Like many other victims still in captivity, they have endured prolonged hardship, missing precious moments including the recent festivities with their families and loved ones.
It is imperative that the government treats their rescue as a matter of urgent priority, while taking decisive steps to prevent such incidents from recurring.
Nigeria must break free from the chains of insecurity. The dignity and sanctity of every human life must be protected. - RMK
"Look at the way terrørists are k!ll!ng people and posting the videos on social media. This is the result of the votes some people sold during the last election."
— Livinus Nwosu, while visiting villagers and showing them a videos and pictures of several victims of terrørists att@cks, urged them not to sell their votes ahead of the 2027 elections and encouraged them to register for and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
Fr. Ebube Muonso reflects on Biafra Remembrance Day today, as he pays tribute to the fallen heroes who løst their lives during the struggle, as he also ask for the release of Mazi Nnamdi kanu.
I am so pained, not because of what I went through, but because I had so much security around me while those schoolchildren in Oyo State did not even have a single police officer to protect them.
Guys, get your PVC.

While fighters are dying in the hands of terrorists because they lack ammo.
Same people. 56 years later. Sometimes I wonder if, in the middle of the bombings, the starvation, the fear, and the endless funerals, they ever imagined a future like this for us. Where we smile and shine
In Igbo land , anytime we see those that fought in the war between 1967 to 1970 , we respect them straight from the heart for their good job 👍 unadulterated respect with love !
This happened in ABA
