65 FREE SURGERIES FOR 65 CHILDREN

Yesterday, I attended the final follow-up clinic and appreciation programme at Mother Mary Hospital, Isolo, Lagos, following the successful completion of 65 free surgeries for children to mark my 65th birthday.

I am deeply grateful to God Almighty for guiding the medical team throughout the process and for granting all 65 children safe and successful surgeries.

The surgeries, led by Dr Folaseye Adebayo and her dedicated team, included adenotonsillectomy. This procedure removes enlarged or chronically infected tonsils and adenoids, which can cause breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, and sleep-related problems in children.

What made the occasion particularly touching was listening to parents share their testimonies and hearing how these procedures have improved their children’s health and quality of life.

My profound appreciation goes to @DrFolaseye Adebayo and her entire team, the hospital management, the parents, and everyone who contributed to making this initiative possible.

For me, birthdays are not merely occasions for celebration. They are opportunities to give back, touch lives, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

I thank God for the privilege of being part of this initiative and, most importantly, for the gift of 65 healthy and hopeful children.

May God continue to bless all those who dedicate their lives to saving and improving the lives of others.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

INSIDER EXPOSÉ: ATIKU’S FORMER MEDIA AIDE SPEAKS UP

Explosive claims from a former media aide strike directly at Atiku Abubakar's political core—alleging fake credentials, rampant family pressure, and a push for state-funded wealth.

“One day in 2020, there were rumors that the Senate wanted to amend the requirements for the office of President to raise the minimum qualification, and Atiku had felt that he was the target of that process, so he had reached out to me frantically via email.

In that email, he said that beyond the Senate, his children were also pressuring him, his family basically were pressuring him to run for office, and as such, wanted him to acquire, by any means necessary, a higher certificate that would make him eligible to run for office. And so, he wanted me to help him secure admission to any Nigerian polytechnic where he could purchase such a certificate without scrutiny.

I secured admission for him at Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, and Dorben Polytechnic in Abuja. He [Atiku] sent money, and I paid his fees. But I had advised him that the scrutiny he wanted to avoid was not going to be possible because the ever-vigilant DSS were always around these schools investigating, and so there was no way he was going to avoid scrutiny.

Acting on that advice, somehow he secured admission to Anglia Ruskin in the UK. I do not know how he did it, but he secured a master's degree from there. But he didn't go to school because he loved education. He went to school to fulfill his desperation of becoming President of Nigeria.

In that email, he had mentioned the fact of his children forcing him, putting him under intense pressure to run for office again. I wondered why, but it didn't take too long for me to find out why.

So, Hawa is Atiku's daughter, one of his daughters, and she had told me herself that one of the reasons her brothers, especially Mo, whom she mentioned, would do anything for their father to become President was the fact that he knew that, he knows that he must become a multi-billionaire should his father make it to that office.

In her words, "Nothing will stop him." Now, when you put into perspective the fact that Atiku has 31 biological children, each one of them wanting to become a multi-billionaire, then you'd understand why you should be afraid of letting this family near that space.

I was later to speak with Mo himself, and he affirmed what his sister told me. He said that there is no other goal in his life right now than for his father to become President because he knows that when his father wins, his appetite will become larger.

Also, these children want to emulate their father's royalty or royal lifestyle lived abroad, and so it is their dream to relocate abroad with their various families. But they feel that the billions they already have, even by the admission of their father, they are living comfortable lives here, that those billions are not yet enough. They need more. And so they need their father to be in office so they can embezzle more money and relocate.

Do you know what it will cost you, this country, for 31 children to aim to be multimillionaires in a country where we are already short of funding for major critical projects? They will rip Nigeria dry. You can listen to them. You don't have to take my word for it.”

Did you hear that part? Let me say it again, the guy said 'Stand up against the man who wants to decide a future he can't live in'. Does that make sense to you? To me, it sank deeply like a big stone thrown inside a river. we're absolutely ready for 2027. It is either we get them out or we all perish but I vehemently refuse to perish. They must leave for us.

[Ochi @OchiJnr]

Wike talks like a man who knows he doesn't need your vote. That level of casual arrogance only exists when leaders face zero accountability.

In a functioning democracy, he wouldn't even qualify as a local councilor. But under the Tinubu administration, the bar is not just low—it's completely gone.

.@officialABAT President Tinubu, Terminate the Dodgy £746 Million Ports Deal, Now

By
Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili

One hundred and fifty‑two days after President Bola Tinubu signed a £746 million ports financing deal with the United Kingdom at Windsor Castle, neither government has disclosed the terms of the agreement. I initially held back from commenting, prioritising Nigeria’s spiraling insecurity. But the persistent silence surrounding this deal and the pattern of opaque governance it reflects makes further waiting irresponsible.

Nigeria’s public debt has exploded from ₦87 trillion in May 2023 to over ₦152 trillion today. Debt service now gulps more than 60 percent of government revenues, leaving crumbs for health,
education, and the security Nigerians are dying for lack of. The administration’s annual borrowing
rate has soared to nearly ₦50 trillion, that is, ten times that of its predecessors, fueled by a $21.45 billion external borrowing plan approved without a single substantive public hearing by the complicit, supine and captive @nassnigeria .

Against this backdrop, the Tinubu government added a £746 million ports deal whose terms remain hidden. This is not a grant, nor aid. It is a sovereign debt obligation. It is a commercial loan arranged by Citibank London, guaranteed by UK Export Finance, and structured to benefit British exporters.

At least £236 million is contractually reserved for British suppliers. British Steel alone secured a £70 million contract it described as one of the largest in its history. Nigeria borrowed the money that British companies will harvest the contracts and Nigerians will repay the debt. Yet neither interest rates nor repayment timelines have been officially published.

Civil society organizations, including SEREC, BudgIT and opposition parties have demanded disclosure. None has received a substantive response. The loan agreement remains unpublished by the Ministry of Finance, NPA, UKEF, or any other official body.

Three failures make this silence unacceptable.

First, currency risk: a sterling loan benchmarked to a floating dollar rate, repayable in a Naira that has lost over 70 percent of its value since 2023, with no disclosed hedging framework.

Second, procurement failure which is most vexing for me as one who led the public procurement reforms of this country: credible reporting identifies ITB Nigeria a company owned by Gilbert Chagoury who is publicly identified as a bosom friend of President Tinubu as the primary contractor without the Due Process of competitive tender, without publicly available evidence of the involvement of the Bureau for Public Procurement, and without any published evaluation criteria.

Third, policy failure: the government ignored the proven alternative of private capital. The Lekki Deep Sea Port was built for $1.5 billion under a private BOT concession with zero sovereign debt and now handles 1.2 million Twenty‑foot Equivalent Units - TEUs. In simple language, the Lekki Port for which Nigeria did not take on any loans attracted private financing and is today successfully handling 1.2 million single 20‑foot shipping container annually.

No analysis whatsoever has been offered by the Tinubu administration to justify why then Apapa and Tin Can, two of West Africa’s most commercially productive ports, could not follow the same model of private capital. These two ports do not need sovereign debt to be rehabilitated. What they need is a governance framework that attracts private capital on Nigeria's terms. …/1

Peter Obi.

There is a strange thing happening in Nigeria. A quiet man, unpolished in speech, has become louder than every microphone raised against him.

He doesn’t speak queen’s English. He is not an orator. But when he opens his mouth, something ancient in the Nigerian spirit stirs, because real recognizes real. He speaks the way a father speaks to his children when NEPA fails and there’s nothing left to perform: plainly, urgently, truthfully.

A billionaire, yes. But somehow, impossibly, he feels the pulse of the hawker in Kano, the graduate without a job in Enugu, massacre survivors in Benue, the okada rider dodging potholes in Lagos. The poor recognize him not because he pretends to be poor, but because he refuses to pretend they don’t exist.

The ruling class doesn’t know what to do with him. They cannot buy his silence. They cannot bury him in scandal that sticks. They cannot shrink his profile, at home or abroad, no matter how many microphones they hand to his critics. And when they attack him online, millions rise before he even has to speak, an organic army he never had to build, from every tribe and tongue, because you cannot manufacture what people give freely.

He is not perfect. He is not the messiah some have made him. But he is proof that a nation this bruised can still recognize sincerity when it sees it, still reach for hope when it’s offered honestly.

And by the grace of God, and the vigilance of long-suffering Nigerians who refuse to look away, he will be Nigeria’s next President and Commander-in-Chief, Peter Obi.
