I just read a disturbing comment in the media space attributed to one of the supposed political leaders in the country that the life of the Vice President is in danger because of the faults recorded in his official aircraft.
The leader went further to urge the Federal Government to purchase a new aircraft for the Vice President.
In making such a remark now, the speaker is insensitive and obviously unconcerned about the prevailing economic situation in the country.
That Nigerians are facing untold hardship at this moment is no secret .
Such a provoking call is coming from a person who probably is oblivious of the fact that Nigeria, at present, has continued to manifest every trait of a failed state.
We are today among one of the eleven worst-governed African nations in the last 10 years. We are also among the 20 most hungry nations in the world, with our people facing worsening mass poverty, extreme hunger and starvation.
Our nation remains the poverty capital of the world, with our per capita income crashing further from $1700 in 2023 to $1109 this year.
Are these not the issues that should be prioritized by committed leaders?
Our national electricity grid has so far collapsed 8 times this year alone and 105 times in the last ten years, plunging our small businesses into great losses and households into darkness.
In the past 15 months, several businesses have closed down or become distressed due to the harsh economic environment in the country.
Are these not the issues that should preoccupy us as leaders, rather than being consumed by our selfish desires for needless luxury at the expense of the people we are called to serve?
What does Nigeria's Vice President need a new jet for, and what value are all Presidential and Vice Presidential trips adding to our present situation?
It was not until 2014 that Indonesia, with sustainable economic growth of over 6% annually for the past 10 years, adding about 50% to both her GDP and GDP per capita, decide to buy a Presidential jet, used by both the President and Vice President.
The Vice President travels mostly in the country's national airline, Garuda Indonesia.
And since we have recently undeservedly bought one, it should be used on essential, inevitable trips of the President and Vice President.
I appeal to the President, Vice President, and our public office holders that our present precarious situation calls only for minimal and highly contributory inevitable travels.
It is time to sit down and find solutions to our litany of challenges for the wellbeing of the people and the development of our country.
Nigeria will rise again if the leadership can commit to selfless service.
A New Nigeria is POssible if we can get our priorities right. -PO

God gave Nigeria this man. Nigerians did the work. We sang, we donated, & we campaigned vigorously for him. He won, but the criminals in INEC & the Judiciary had other ideas. Now the result is out. Nigerians from all tribes, all parties & all religions are learning their lessons.
Today, set out as International Men's Day, I join the global community in celebrating our men, whose strength, courage, and vigour sustain our society on many fronts. I celebrate, particularly, men who bear the economic burdens of providing for their families, irrespective of
It is gratifying that the FGN has reversed its demand on the 40% IGR from universities. It is ab initio totally inconceivable that grossly underfunded universities would be expected to dole out 40% of their IGR to the FGN.
@SaharaReporters The Peter Obi effect is spreading to other African Nations. This is good. No wonder my Ghanian friend was angry when Peter Obi didn't get the Presidential seat. His effect would have travelled and influenced many countries in Africa for good.
We will get there someday.
@SasDantata Which courts are you referring to? The one in Nigeria where every soul of the Lawyers and Judges has a price tag that only government can pay for now except Dangote is also attached to your name? Anything that makes you to there is a lost already.
@ayemojubar These are the reasons they fight and make sure PO doesn't win. Those against Peter Obi are not just APC and politicians even the corrupt systems don't want him in. Just look at this
Peter Obi will remain 5x more popular than Tinubu. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed will remain 10x more popular than Kashim Shettima. BAAT is the INEC-SELECT, but Peter Obi is the one on everyone’s lips. It’s DEEDS, not WORDS, good name is better than Gold!
As long as Obi draws breath, Asiwaju will continue to live in his shadows. Bola Ahmed Tinubu may have been sworn in, but Peter Obi is the one in people’s hearts.
They want to pick his brain on almost everything. The Presidency don’t know what to do!! With more than 20 Media Aides, Asiwaju is still struggling. Bola will make a mess, they’ll attack Peter Obi, because deep down? they know he is the Heir Apparent.
Having been caught in a web of lies, Ajuri Ngelale is now a scarecrow of his former self. Since the UAE Visa Ban mishap, Lie Mohammed’s protege cannot seem to reinvent himself. I hope he is okay!
Bayo Onanuga (the bigot) & a grandpa is struggling to promote Asiwaju’s battered image, & his continuing policy somersaults. No one takes Bayo’s vituperation seriously. For young Nigerians, the old hag is everything we don’t want for a grandpa.
Anyways, I’m here to remind you that your Drug Lord will not amount to anything. If you like, give him an 8-year Imperium, he’ll still fail. You’re on your own, the old fogey only fulfilled his lifelong dream, “Emilokan.”
“Presidential Yacht delivered, I could care less about Ronu mothers protesting over a mere hike in fish prices. Must you eat fish?”
A druggie sandwiched between past & present criminals as his Ministers, is going nowhere!!! SHALL WE BET???
Where are the Indian investors & the so-called $13 billion investment pledges? Where is Afrexim Bank’s $3 billion NNPC Crude Contract loan? Has the hype expired?
The CBN cannot float what you don’t have. Dollar rate only experienced a temporal reprieve. Naira descent will continue shortly.
He is off to Saudi Arabia for another Summit that may bring Zero Investments to Nigeria as well. African puppet “rulers” file-out like Sardines in every mushroom Summit in the West & EuroAsia. An avenue to escape their harsh local environments, & sleep in five-star presidential suits.
Mapoka & Guara Guara are extras for “the boys,” for good behavior. Things they do for country, & for their madams back in Nigeria.
Kudos to Paul Kagame of Rwanda, he hacked the summoning of Nigerian puppet rulers to Summits as well. Men who refused to be useful for a change, will always be treated like zombies in foreign lands.
Your Supplementary Budget is for “the boys” for a successful stealing of the general election. Supplementary Budget is alocation to his First Lady, VP Boko Haram, & for himself. Ronuists are shit outta luck.
How of many of you are going to receive the so-called bogus Student Loan? Come back & give me the full report. Those of you who eventually gets it, are going to pay it back. I pray for you today, I pray you finally get a job upon graduation. If you don’t? OYO!!!
At the end of the day, those of you that sang “Yoruba Ronu,” & those making excuses for a drug man, will realize “it’s DEEDS, not WORDS, good name is better than Gold!”
The Economy is without emotions. Fundamentals will not develop wings & fly into Nigeria. Patriotism is different from sycophancy & willful blindness. Ben Bruce & his new found love for rampant sycophancy will wake up one day & realize he was the biggest fool among the sheeple.
How much investments did Muhammadu Buhari bring into Nigeria, in 8 solid years? Can you count the number of times the dunce & a failure flew abroad for Summits?
For me, I go kuku they look! I belong to the Wailers Club & I enjoy the wailing. Barman, give them one bottle, mortuary standard.
This man will not borrow $7.8bn & €100m to buy a yacht
He will not spend N28bn on the State House
100 schools & Student Loan will not receive a tiny N10.5bn
He won’t support the purchase of more than 400 Japanese SUVs for overfed lawmakers
I know the man I campaigned for. 👏
@AGINAS@instablog9ja Why do speak like someone that has deep seated hatred against the church or it's leaders? Every little opportunity is to badmouth the entity of the church and her leaders. You need to really check your heart and free yourself from hate.
