Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

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.

Let me say this clearly, especially to those still living in Nigeria:
If this government retains power until 2031, they will unleash the harshest and most brutal regime in our history.
Whether you supported them or not, nobody will be spared. Many of their loud online supporters will lose their jobs after the election and become irrelevant once their usefulness is over.
Most opposition leaders will be jailed, youth activists who worked against them will be locked up, suicide rates will rise, frustration will explode, and the economy will become far worse than it is today.
The only way to avoid this coming crisis is simple: make sure this administration does not return to power in 2027. Vote them out. Make it a personal choice, as if your life depends on it.
We can do it. You can do it.
If they were not scared of losing, they wouldn’t be intimidating the opposition so desperately.
Take this warning seriously, especially if you live in Nigeria.
Those who live in Nigeria will feel the pain. Those abroad have nothing to fear except for a few of their siblings or parents.
Retweet for those who need to hear this truth ✊
Not a single sacrifice this President has made.
When the economy is hardest, he makes zero sacrifice and lives large.
Came into power and splurged on a new Jet, Yatch, mansion for VP, fleet of armored SUV, and billions for travel.
Has a big cabinet with some of the most incompetent ministers we have seen.
We now have an apartheid power supply system that has gotten worst. He goes off grid and splurges on solar.
Fuel prices are high he mouths the same worthless CNG plan and tells Nigerians to be grateful.
People are being killed in hundreds and lazily tweets 2 days later and when he manages go get himself to visit the victims, he addresses them at the airport.
Every other day, something is being named after him. No decorum or class. Just embracing and encouraging shocking levels of subserviency from the shameless political class.
Nigerians pay more for everything. A generation of young people are having their productive years wasted with no form of care or remorse.
I have benefited absolutely nothing from Tinubu’s government. He promises better future that requires sacrifices. Sacrifices he has shown no interest in making.
A leader should be an example. Make some sacrifices. Show you care.
I don’t respect it!
On average, a Poor Nigerian speands 4k per day on food. 4,000 × 30 = 120,000 monthly.
Where do you think they’ll be able to see that kind of money, only for food?
Tinubu must go, and it shall never be well with all of you supporting this government.
Let me put it in perspective if you still don’t know how ridiculously bad and incompetent this government is;
The five naira note is useless.
The 10 naira note is useless.
The 20 naira note is worthless.
The 50 naira note can only buy a sachet of water and gum.
N100? Three sachets of water.
N200 can’t buy one egg.
How about the highest naira denomination?
N1,000 cannot buy bread.
N1,000 cannot buy sardines.
N1,000 cannot buy a liter of fuel.
N1,000 cannot buy a liter of juice.
N1,000 cannot buy a plate of street food.
So, for a poor Nigerian to be able to feed at least 2x a day, they’ll spend between 3-7k (note: I’m talking about poor Nigerians here). Let’s assume they spend 4k per day on food. 4,000 × 30 = 120,000 monthly.
Where do you think they’ll be able to see that kind of money, only for food?
Tinubu must go, and it shall never be well with all of you supporting this government. You’ll ask God for peace and prosperity, and He will forsake you. 🙏🏾
Only him had used deep poverty to cure problems
Fuel queues — gone. because he took fuel drive from 160 to 1400 in just 3 years. Let’s see if your father can afford it let alone queue for it
ASUU strikes — gone. He captured the agency, dissolved all bodies, took away educational fundings. Within 3 years, most schools had more than 300% increase in school fees. Poor man dropping from school. Yet no one could speak for them because he destroyed all the agencies that can speak before hitting them with pain
State bankruptcies — Worsening. We just kept borrowing more and more WITH NO RESULT. Before, if govt borrows, they’ll try to do something for citizens before stealing the rest. This one steals with impunity. Award 3.3 trillion to power (the same) project 3 times in 3 years with nothing better.
Electricity — people now pay more than 300% increase for the same uselessness. An average Nigeria can’t even guarantee a 12 hour electricity in a day. With all the money said to have been pumped in this sector. This is a big shame.
Insecurity — Worse than ever before. Now police don’t even interfere in kidnapping again. They just ask you to pay ransom.
Private sector exits — Worsened. Almost all companies had exited Nigeria
NGX decline — Naira had gone all time low. He took it from about 400 to 1400. More than 300% decrease
Food inflation — so bad than a Tiber of yam has to be cut in slices for Nigerians to be able to afford it.
I didn’t even know how much of a failure this man is until I realized you didn’t even have anything good he did to campaign.
This is the Worst President ever in the history of Nigeria. We all should be angry and ensure he doesn’t see that sit again
When they move abroad as immigrants - they make friends based on visa categories. They don't even date below their visa categories. 😂
When they're on Twitter, the reiterate that stratification. small accounts vs big accounts. 💀
I reflect a lot on our ideological design, as a people. Nigerians are morally bankrupt, culturally deficient and rooted in faux elitism.
This is why some markets exist for us, because they can take advantage of that shameless insecurity - and I genuinely don't think the reason is poverty.
I've visited other poor countries. These countries do not see cars beyond what they are, a means a transportation. They don't see restaurants beyond what they are. They don't see dates beyond what they are.
Something fundamentally is wrong with us.
For us, it isn't even enough that we succeed - it is important that other fail, or don't succeed as much as we do. It is important for us to have an edge other others. It is such a sick attitude.
Person A has one house. Person B has two houses. It isn't enough that they both have roof over their heads - Person B innately subclasses Person A.
You should also to hear from a Nigerian gym goer that you're not "man enough" because you don't bench as much as he does. 💀
As segwayed as these analogies are, they are rooted in the same proportionality. It points to the same mental illness.
Who did this to us?
Tinubu in Jos Confirms ‘Don't Vote for Me’ Prediction on Power Supply
During the 2023 campaign, President Tinubu made a clear electoral promise: “If I don’t give you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second term.”
When he took office in 2023, Nigeria had a power supply of over 4,000 megawatts and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply is less than 4,000 megawatts on the average, and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below 30% of the African average. Africa’s average is 617kwh, Nigeria’s is 144 kWh. This means that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans.
In a glaring display of disregard for promises and a lack of trust, President Tinubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving families of the Jos attack on Thursday, April 2, 2026, stated that one of the reasons for his 10-minute stay was that the airport had no electricity. “You have no light here I fly out in ten minutes” At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it.
Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders—those lacking the capacity and compassion—who prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the people and make empty promises.

A chief owned all the wells in a village. Every morning, people lined up to buy water. The price kept rising.
The people grumbled quietly. "This is too much." But when they reached the front, they paid and left.
One day, a young man asked his father, "Why don't we dig our own well?"
His father muttered, "Shhh. The chief has guards. They will come at night. Just pay and stay quiet."
"But Papa, we are many. The guards are few," the boy responded.
The father whispered, "Yes, but what if they remember our faces? Better to suffer than be singled out."
So they kept paying. The price kept rising. Families bathed once a week. Children drank less water. Still, they paid.
The chief watched from his balcony and smiled. "I don't even need guards. Fear is cheaper than force. As long as they fear what might happen more than they hate what is happening, they'll never resist."
A council member asked him, "What if they realise they outnumber us?"
The chief laughed. "They know. But each waits for someone else to speak first. While they wait, I raise the price."
The prison with no walls is the one where every man guards his own chains.
INALEGWU.
So Peter Obi was on Magic FM in Aba today and the radio presenter asks him
“What drives you and keeps you going in your ambition despite all the challenges?”
Peter Obi: “What keeps me going is that the alternative is worse. If we don’t act, we’re heading to an@rchy, which will affect everyone. I’m convinced the country is not on the right path to development.”

The truth is embarrassing.
One evening we were talking about the future.
Kids. Money. Life goals.
Then she said something that changed everything. She said.
“As long as you keep succeeding, I’ll always support you.”
Most people would think that’s a compliment. But something about it bothered me.
I asked her one question: “What happens if I fail?” She looked at me for a few seconds…
then said,
“Let’s just hope that never happens.”
That was the moment I knew. She loved my success. Not me.
