As humans we love vanity & sin;
We love deprivation & weaknesses;
So we believe that God has abandoned us.
But God does not deny anyone the grace of salvation. It is the most beautiful thing there is.
Good saves us always!
“This Experience Will Not Repeat Itself” - Another Presidential Promise fails in less than 24 Hours.
Less than 24 hours after President Tinubu stood at the Jos Plateau State airport on April 2, 2026, and promised the grieving Nigerian citizens, “I promise you that this experience will not repeat itself,” another brutal attack occurred in Nyamgo Gyel, Jos South LGA, resulting in the deaths of several innocent citizens.
Since then, and only a week following that reassuring promise from the President, Nasarawa State has been plunged into grief as the Akyawa and Udege Kasa communities fled for their lives after gunmen killed at least 11 people. Many homes were reduced to ashes, and numerous families remain missing.
In Zamfara State, 150 innocent Nigerians were abducted from the Kurfa Danya and Kurfan Magaji communities in one of the largest mass kidnappings in recent times. On the same day of the Zamfara kidnappings, terrorists in Borno State stormed Chibok, killing four officers and burning down homes.
Yesterday, on Easter Sunday, Benue State was rocked by violence again, with over 17 Nigerians massacred, entire communities left in ruins, and many individuals still unaccounted for. Today, in Kaduna State, several innocent citizens were killed by terrorists inside churches, with many others abducted in the Ariko community of Kachia LGA.
Yet we were told, “This experience will not repeat itself.” This represents a failure of leadership and responsibility, and sadly, Nigerians are paying for it with their lives.
These attackers are not ghostly figures; our inaction emboldens them. How can a President make such a categorical promise and, mere hours later, the nation continues to count the dead across multiple states? The primary responsibility of any government is to protect lives and property; however, this responsibility is failing today. Nigerians are being slaughtered in their homes, in their communities, and in the very places they should feel safest. Even the President did not enter these communities, so who is truly safe in Nigeria?
This is a national emergency. Nigeria is bleeding, and the situation is worsening and increasingly helpless.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
The United States recently spent an estimated $300 million to $500 million on a massive combat search-and-rescue (CSAR) operation in early April 2026 to recover the crew of a downed F-15E Strike Eagle in Iran.
The operation is being described as one of the costliest and most daring rescue missions in modern military history due to the loss of several high-value aircraft.

Breakdown of Costs and Losses
•Aircraft Losses: The bulk of the expense stems from the destruction of specialized aircraft to prevent sensitive technology from being captured.
◦Two MC-130J Commando IIs: Each of these transport planes costs more than $100 million. They were reportedly disabled during the mission and intentionally blown up by U.S. forces.
◦Additional Aircraft: Reports indicate the loss of two Black Hawk helicopters, an A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog), and multiple drones.
•Mission Scale: The rescue involved "dozens of aircraft" and an elite team, believed to include Navy SEAL Team 6, operating deep inside Iranian territory for several hours.
•Iranian Bounty: During the search, Iran reportedly offered a $60,000 reward to locals for information leading to the capture of the missing airmen.
Whether people agree or not, religion has become one of our greatest obstacles. If you look closely, you’ll see how it conditions people to accept hardship instead of challenging it. We are constantly told to pray instead of protest, to endure instead of demand accountability. Hope is sold to us, but action is discouraged.
As a Catholic, I say this with full awareness, we have been praying for Nigeria for over 30 years, yet things continue to deteriorate. At some point, we must confront the reality that prayer without action has not changed our situation.
Now imagine if major religious leaders like Jerry Eze, oyedepo, adeboye came together and asked their followers to peacefully protest. The country would come to a standstill. Our voices would be impossible to ignore. The world would be forced to pay attention. And the government would think twice before using force, because the consequences would be far reaching.
But that never happens. Instead, the message remains the same pray, wait, hope for miracles while conditions worsen. Ironically, many of these same voices supported protest movements in 2015 when the situation was not nearly this bad.
We cannot pray away evil while refusing to confront it.
Faith without action will not protect our homes, our families, or our future.
The responsibility is clear: defend yourself, defend your household, and stand for your community.
Those who support, fund, or harbor evil must be held accountable and removed from our midst. There can be no tolerance for those who enable destruction.

A mother holds her son for the last time.
The standard of leadership in Nigeria has, in my view, declined since the APC came into power. Under Obasanjo, there was a culture of regular engagement, including monthly interviews that kept leadership accessible and accountable. That level of openness diminished during the administration of Buhari.
Over time, this has contributed to a broader sentiment that those in power feel insulated from public accountability that electoral outcomes are not strongly tied to citizen satisfaction, and that actions or inactions carry limited consequences. If there were stronger accountability mechanisms and a more engaged electorate, i believe such patterns would be far less likely to continue.
But them no rate us because we have people like some Nigerians and city boys who are ready to sell their soul to be at the alter of the devil
No leader who truly values their people would proceed with international travel in the midst of a mass killing at home. In fact, responsible leaders cut their trips short and return immediately when such tragedies occur, in order to lead, respond, and stand with their citizens.
🇸🇻 MUST WATCH: El Salvador’s Bukele explains the problem Mexico and other countries face:
“Every state is stronger than the criminal groups on its territory, but if a state cannot overcome them, it is because it is complicit in the crime.
Once the state stops being complicit in crime and fights criminals with force, it overcomes it.”
@nayibbukele is right!
With all due respect to Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN — this letter is not a defence of truth; it’s a denial of pain.
When a sitting Minister writes to @realDonaldTrump, not to address the blood on the streets, but to polish the image of a government knee-deep in ethnic and religious tension, it reveals everything wrong with the elite bubble that rules Nigeria.
Mr. Keyamo, you speak of awards, positions, and religious balance — but none of those statistics comfort the widows of Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, or the displaced thousands from Borno to Taraba whose only “crime” was living in the wrong region at the wrong time. Whether they were Christians, Muslims, or traditional worshippers, Nigerians are being killed — and government spin cannot bury the graves.
The question isn’t whether Christians are officially targeted — the question is: why has Nigeria become a killing field where faith, ethnicity, and geography determine who lives or dies? Why does impunity flourish while justice dies a slow death in the files of the DSS, police, and military investigations that never see daylight?
You say Boko Haram is “decimated.” Yet, every week, we bury civilians and soldiers in numbers too painful to count. You say Tinubu’s appointments prove religious tolerance — but Nigerians measure governance not by diversity in cabinet photos, but by security in their streets.
The world doesn’t need propaganda letters, sir. What it needs is sincerity, accountability, and courage from leaders who will admit failure and fix it. Pretending that persecution or injustice doesn’t exist only deepens the wounds of those still bleeding.
Let’s be clear: Nigeria’s problem isn’t religion. It’s failed leadership wrapped in religious narratives to mask incompetence.
So, Mr. Minister, before writing another letter to Washington, try writing a truthful one to the Nigerian people — they deserve it.

Lavrov's comments underscore the ongoing challenges in reaching a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. While Putin expresses willingness to meet, the lack of a clear agenda remains a significant obstacle.
'How can we meet with a person who is pretending to be a leader?' – Lavrov on Zelensky's demands to hold a meeting with Putin.
- President Putin clearly stated that he is ready to meet on the condition that this meeting has a real agenda — a presidential agenda.
- So that's a big 'if.' The meeting is not scheduled, Mr. Minister. You say there is no meeting now.
- Kristen, sorry that you are not listening: there is no meeting, and I do not dispute that, but you seem not to understand what I am saying. Putin is ready to meet with Zelensky only when the agenda for the summit is ready. And there is no such agenda yet at all. After the meeting in Anchorage, President Trump proposed several points with which we agree, and on some we agreed to show flexibility. When President Trump raised these issues at the meeting in Washington, in the presence of Zelensky and his European sponsors, it became clear to everyone: there are several principles that Washington believes must be accepted, including: no NATO membership; discussion of territorial issues. Zelensky said 'no' to everything. He even refused, as I have already said, to repeal the law banning the Russian language. How can we meet with a person who is pretending to be a leader?

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct
One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.
It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.
I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.
Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.
I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.
In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.
My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.
If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.
I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.
We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.
Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:
sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.
Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.
These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
