“To My Fellow Nigerian Soldiers And Personnel, Please Do Not Shoot Or Open Teargas On Peaceful Protesters. Let Them Exercise Their Civil Rights. Even If An Order Is Given, Still Make Use Of Your Brain. How Will You Feel, Or Even Sleep, If Your Children, Wife, Mother, Father, Or Relative Is One Of The Kidnap Victims In The Bush?”. ~ Nigerian Soldier Warns
JUST IN..ONE OF THE ABDUCTED SCHOOL CHILDREN GONE..
Sadly, one of the abducted schoolchildren kidnapped in Oyo State, Ahoro Esinele, has reportedly died.
Days ago, photos of her in captivity showed she was already seriously ill. Last night, the kidnappers reportedly appeared on a TikTok live stream and announced her death, telling her mother they no longer had her child.
They may not have used a weapon, but captivity killed her. The hunger, beatings, cold nights, fear, and terrible conditions were too much for her young body to survive.
Her heartbroken mother said through tears: “I knew it. She was not very strong. On the day they were abducted, she only managed to go to school. Unfortunately, she never returned home.”
No parent should ever experience the pain of a child leaving for school and never coming back alive.
Another innocent life has been lost. Another family has been shattered.
APC chairman in Kebbi was claiming that Nigeria is butter & bread under Tinubu. He is now with bandits. They have him in safe custody. They are flogging him right now.
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
What Our Pervasive Insecurity Requires: A Holistic not Reactive Approach.
In a hasty effort to be perceived as attentive and courageous, it is reported that President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of about 1000 forest guards for Oyo State. This is a further demonstration of poor leadership and attending to very serious governance and security issues with a reactive approach. It is the same reactive approach that led to the sudden removal of fuel subsidy and floating of the Naira that has caused irreparable damage to ordinary Nigerians and the economy.
While recruiting more security personnel for Oyo state and the country is important, it should be done in a more organised and well-thought-out manner. Presently, almost all the 36 states in Nigeria are experiencing different forms of insecurity, with Oyo, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Borno, Katsina, Anambra, Niger, Imo, and Sokoto being very alarming.
The question, such as the reactive approach of our President, is whether all the states will receive the same approval to recruit 1000 forest guards per state, that is 37, 000 forest guards for the 36 states and Abuja or is the recruitment approval based on the mood of the President? Moreover, with the approval for Oyo, what will happen to the Amotekun Corps that is trying its best to secure South-West Nigeria?. Will they be disbanded in Oyo state?
The pervasive insecurity we currently have is directly related to the failure of our ecosystem, particularly leadership. It is only failure in leadership that can lead to the death of over 10,000 innocent Nigerians since 2023, and Nigeria is ranked among the top-most terror-affected countries in the world.
Addressing our insecurity situation requires a holistic or what can be described as an ecosystem approach. With failure in leadership, there is failure in unifying our dear nation, failure in industrialisation, failure in harnessing our abundant resources in agriculture, minerals, tourism, water, sports and even oil and gas to effectively generate required revenue, growth and particularly jobs for our exponentially growing youth population.
A New and Productive Nigeria will be POssible, and we will be OK! -P0
Dear Nigerians,
THERE IS FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN!
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.
They are systematically deleting the Voter Registration of certain demographics. Kindly rush to their portal & check to make sure that your CVR Registration is still valid & is found.
RETWEET MASSIVELY & SPREAD THE WORD!
Last time Arsenal played Champions League final was against Barcelona. This match was absolute chaos, full of drama and a game every football fan would love to watch and watch again.
Will Arsenal bottle another UCL final against PSG?
If APC wins the 2027 presidential election, this will be my last time voting in that context.
I am doing this once more for Peter Obi, for suffering Nigerians, and for the future of our country.
I, Ayilola Ayotomiwa, will once again vote for Peter Obi.
The NDC was told to hold their party primaries. But they decided to hold a general election.
From Delta to Sokoto, Kano to Lafia, Lagos to Ogbia. All across Nigeria, people trooped en masse to be counted. The NDC is the only Democratic Party in Nigeria. What I saw today was shocking. Nigerians are tired, people are genuinely fed up. They want the APC gone!
This is going to be the mother of all campaigns.
Pooja e no go better for you and your family
