June 12, 1993.
The freest election in Nigeria’s history.
The winner never became president.

Imagine the sports, economy, and healthcare trajectory if that mandate had been respected.

Interesting. He did the right thing rather than sully his name any further.

When good men refuse to understand the language of force, wicked men become its masters. And before long, those who once believed that goodness alone would protect them will discover, to their horror, that evil does not surrender simply because virtue has chosen to remain harmless.

Hit me with a random fact

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

You were not brought into this world merely to suffer in silence, nor should you accept misery as though it were your portion in life. You have every right to demand good governance from those who have assumed the responsibility of leading you.

I want you to consider the cruelty of this contradiction, while you struggle to afford decent medical care in your own country, the very men and women entrusted with governing it can send their children abroad to receive treatment in some of the finest hospitals in the world. And what remains for you at home? Hospitals without adequate equipment, facilities without proper care, and a healthcare system that too often leaves the poor to negotiate with death.

If a man dies before his 50th birthday in Nigeria from an illness that could have been treated had proper medical facilities been available, it is not because he was destined to suffer. It is a tragedy that demands answers. There is something profoundly unjust about a society in which the privilege of staying alive depends so heavily on the depth of one's pockets, while those entrusted with public responsibility are insulated from the very failures ordinary citizens endure.

You were not born to be abandoned by your government. You were born with dignity, and that dignity gives you every reason to demand better.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

It is heartbreaking to think about how different our lives could have been if we had a government that genuinely cared about its people. We could have lived longer, healthier lives, with access to decent hospitals, clean water, good roads, nutritious food and an environment where human life is valued. There is so much potential in this country, yet millions of people are being denied the simple privilege of living a decent life. We were never asking for too much,we only want a country where being born would not feel like a sentence to suffering.

Every Nigerian needs to see this video, there's much to learn from it.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

Worry not; all the bus driver needs to endure this terrible road, abandoned by the government, is renewed hope.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

Every day, my faith in the youths of Nigeria continues to grow stronger. Lord, what a time to be alive!!!

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

Dear David,

I understand where your frustration is coming from. I can see that you are deeply disappointed by the state of things in Nigeria, particularly by the conduct of those entrusted with governing the country. And perhaps, after witnessing so much corruption, injustice and needless suffering, it has become difficult to look upon this country with anything but resentment.

But I want you to understand something, being Nigerian is not a curse, nor should the failures of those who govern us become a reason to despise the country we call home.

There will come a day when you look back at Nigeria and feel a genuine sense of pride, when the country begins to reflect the hopes and sacrifices of the millions who have refused to surrender their faith in its future.

But such a day will not arrive by some miracle. It will require courage, sacrifice and, above all, the willingness of ordinary Nigerians to confront the forces that have kept this country in a perpetual state of decay.

And perhaps the first real step towards that future is before us in 2027, we must find the courage to vote out those who continue to fan the flames of corruption, protect a rotten system and feed upon the suffering of the very people they were elected to serve.

Do not mistake your disappointment with Nigeria for a reason to abandon hope in her. This country is worth fighting for, and its future must not remain the private property of those who have failed it.

Being born in Nigeria is the Top 2 worst things that can happen to a Human being.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

Nigeria will definitely be OK.

Nigerians, 2027 presents us with yet another opportunity to decide what kind of country we wish to live in and, more importantly, what kind of people we must never again entrust with public power.

[Chude @Chude_ND1]

APC Councillor Hon. Paschal Okoro (Ajangwo) of Avu/Oforola Ward 1, Owerri West, declared zero tolerance for any other party, insisting the ward belongs exclusively to Rt. Hon. Kanayo Onyemaechi and the APC ahead of 2027. He was captured on video dismantling an AA billboard at Avu Junction while citing an alleged “state order.”

This is what they have turned Imo state to, Such acts of political intolerance undermine democracy and must be condemned.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

What a pity.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

Never again shall we surrender the fate of our country to men who mistake noise for authority and intimidation for leadership. Our destiny must never be held hostage by the whims of touts. Never again.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

This is a very deep message.

When people ask why do we hardly see NDC and opposition campaign banners in Lagos?

Here’s a brief glimpse of what often happens to those banners. This should not be acceptable.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

I sometimes wonder whether the President remembers that he occupies the highest office in the land. For a man entrusted with the responsibility of governing a nation, he speaks with the indignation of one who has been condemned to suffer under somebody else’s government. It is a strange spectacle, the man holding the reins of power speaks as though he were merely an unfortunate witness to its failures.

We will? Is he contesting for the first time?

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

Children enter this world knowing nothing of racism, tribalism, or the peculiar hatred men reserve for those who are different from themselves. They do not instinctively despise another child for the colour of his skin or the tribe into which he was born. No, such things are taught to them, whispered into their ears, planted in their minds until, one day, they begin to mistake inherited hatred for their own convictions. And perhaps this is the greatest tragedy of humanity, we teach our children whom to hate long before we teach them how to love.
