When a Government Declares War on the Truth
President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as “a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.
The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.
The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.
As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.
Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.
During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.
What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?
The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.
Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.
@tchi_marh@eldivine That's not quite right.
Palantir's U.S. Government Revenue for Q2 was about $809 million, while commercial revenue was $764 million.
I think they survive as a business even without the Government contracts at this point
As a former two-term President of the Catholic Youth Organization of Nigeria (CYON) in the Army Chaplaincy, I didn’t need a second look to recognise this as a poorly fabricated forged press release.
The forgers in Aso Rock and their team of failures are now clutching at straws.
For God and For Youth…….
“We told him the nation is bleeding. He said the nation is not bleeding. We told him the economy is not helping the poor. He said economy is doing fine.“
Cardinal Onaiyekan shares details of the Catholic Bishops meeting with Tinubu.
If South African police strangled your country man in his apartment and despite it going viral nothing happened, it's not xenophobia to say that perhaps now is not a good time for a South African to come and do "say you love me put me in Chanel" in your country.
That is not xenophobia. That is common sense, you bums.
In the next 100 years, many ethnic groups in the Christian side of the Middle Belt will go extinct
Some of us have tried our best
We cannot save everyone
The largest enemies who have fought me haven’t been those from the North but our own people
We will learn lessons
The shocking thing for me is not that this happens in Lagos, but that this doesn't happen all over the country. Because I do not think it is normal to casually drive a Lamborghini through one of the poorest places in the world and expect that everything should be fine.
One of the problems in the north of nigeria for example is that thieves and the children of thieves feel far too comfortable flaunting their wealth in close proximity to people facing extreme poverty caused by corruption. There are too many people who accept their lot in life as something destined by god, instead of something completely man made. Too many remnants of feudalist culture there.
Like I always say, the day poor people in Nigeria actually grow the balls to rise up (or get frustrated enough to react) and reject their condition, it will touch everyone, from the actual thieves and their friends to the ones who just happen to be lucky enough to afford a livelihood, honest or otherwise.
Wait till you see what we found.
• ₦3.5bn for a Technical & Vocational Training College in Kaduna.
• ₦1.4bn for road construction in Ogun.
• ₦700m for dental X-ray machines and dental chairs in Ekiti.
All under the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education.
And this wasn't a one-off.
While analysing the 2026 budget, we found 11,122 constituency projects worth ₦6.93 trillion that blur agency mandates, making it harder for Nigerians to follow the money and hold the right institutions accountable.
We unpacked what this means for the credibility of the 2026 budget in our Federal Government Approved Budget Analysis.
Every Nigerian needs to know what the government is doing. Read 👉 https://t.co/nxkE5yEr64
The 2026 World Cup is presently ongoing. Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup but the National Sports commission budgeted 6,440,000,000 ($4.6 million) as “Special presidential support group for 2026 World Cup qualifiers”
How???
Actually this is a “class action” I can get behind on my own dime. I’ll have a team do some preliminary research and if we decide to pursue, I’ll give an update. We need more public interest litigation.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
People are not even saying the major thing about this video.
Pastor Adeboye went to the US to convince the US government that Tinubu is doing well and to also show subtle support that there is no Christian Genocide because at least he's a pastor of a very big church.
We are overlooking the purpose of the video.
