“Professors are aiding illiterates to rig elections, lawmakers have removed forgery as an offense in electoral matters, and SANs are defending forgery, our religious leaders are now praying for criminal politicians, our judges are singing 'On your mandate we stand'”

The quoted video helped me understand this new interview with Burkina Faso President, Ibrahim Traoré, where he was asked about “60% of the country being under terrorist control.”

His response was smart and profound. It showed that not only is he self-aware and literate, but he also has a good team.✍️

There is no country on earth where a child will be sent to prison because they scored an F in an exam.

But every day, people lose their freedom, destroy their futures, or even lose their lives because of poor character, lack of discipline, greed, dishonesty, or violence.

Yet many parents panic over grades and ignore character.

If your child leaves school with integrity, discipline, empathy, resilience, and the ability to do the right thing even when nobody is watching, you’ve already won.

Academics can open doors.

Character determines what happens after those doors open.

The greatest product of any school should not be straight A’s.

It should be responsible human beings.

What’s your view?

JUST IN: Nigeria reveals an entire “presidential council” with government offices, civil servants, & nearly $1 million in the national budget was fake.

The Minister of Defence according to reports earns over N700k, which is more than N7m a year. That's just salary.

The same minister also gets:
- More than N16m as accommodation allowance.
- More than N6m as furniture allowance.
- About N8m for motor vehicle allowance.
- Over N810k for Leave allowance per year.
-Severance Gratuity of over N6m that is paid after completing his tenure which can be any number of year(s).

But Musa the Defense Minister wants the public to celebrate that soldiers who risk their lives on a daily basis and remain underappreciated and probably underequipped, are now being paid just "N100,000" monthly.

Soldiers get N1.2m for working tirelessly, while the Defense Minister who only gives speeches and appears on TV gets more than N7m alone as basic salary. Wonderful country.

Today in Rome, I could see different government delegates from other countries, including China and Singapore, right here to support their students for International STEM Olympiad.

No single government delegate from Nigeria.

Is this how much our government abhors education?

Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy

Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.

From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.

It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.

It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.

The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.

Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.

My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.

I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO

SOWORE BEING SENT TO PRISON: A DANGEROUS REGRESSION FOR OUR DEMOCRACY

I have received, with deep concern, the news of the court’s remand of citizen activist Omoyele Sowore in Kuje Prison.

While the judiciary remains the ultimate arbiter of justice, we must consistently guard against any trend that gives the appearance of state institutions being weaponised to systematically stifle dissent, muzzle the press, or shrink the legitimate space for civic engagement in Nigeria.

A thriving democracy does not survive on the silencing of opposing voices; rather, it is anchored on the robust protection of fundamental human rights, most notably the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly, as enshrined in our Constitution. Moreover, our society is already strained by insecurity and biting economic hardship; therefore, deliberate steps should be taken, even by the courts, to avoid inflaming the situation.

When we begin to treat citizen critics, activists, and journalists as threats to state survival rather than as partners in building accountability, we signal a dangerous slide toward authoritarianism. Our current challenges, ranging from economic strain to internal security vulnerabilities, require inclusive dialogue and cohesive nation-building, not the incarceration of those who demand a better society.

I urge the relevant authorities to ensure that the rule of law is strictly adhered to, that Mr. Sowore’s constitutional rights are fully protected, and that our security and judicial institutions are used solely for the impartial administration of justice. We cannot build a New Nigeria if we continue to undermine the very democratic structures meant to protect us all. -PO

Dear South Africans,

Remember we did this for you and today you hurt Nigerians

Is this how to appreciate those that suffered for your freedom


In 1976, Nigeria established the Southern Africa Relief Fund (SARF) to support anti-apartheid liberation struggles. Under the military administration of General Olusegun Obasanjo, all Nigerian civil servants and public officers were mandated to contribute 2% of their monthly salaries to the fund, which became popularly known as the "Mandela Tax". [1, 2]
The grassroots and public initiative was highly successful: [1, 2]
•Initial Government Support: General Obasanjo's administration contributed $3.7 million to SARF, alongside personal donations of $3,000 from the General himself and $1,500 from each cabinet member. [1]
•Public Participation: Civil servants forfeited 2% of their salaries, and students actively skipped lunches to donate their allowances. [1]
•Fundraising Milestone: In just six months, popular contributions reached $10.5 million by June 1977.[1]
•Broader Aid: These funds were utilized to bring relief to victims of the apartheid regime, finance educational opportunities, and support the general welfare of liberation movements. This contribution was part of an estimated $61 billion that Nigeria spent between 1960 and 1995 toward the anti-apartheid struggle. [1, 2, 3]

Tunde Onakoya that runs a "non-profit organisation" is selling chess for over a million naira; Now let's leave that one aside for a second. He claims that he can't send Peter Obi a chessboard because someone has to pay for it. So the ones Atiku and Tinubu were gifted who paid for them, but most importantly, has any of them been seen ever playing the chess?

Again, this is supposed to a nonprofit organisation mind u.

Figthing for the children in slums while laughing with the govt that lead to the slums. OK Mr. Empowerment.

Yesterday defenders of democracy, today's destroyers, What a shame.

What an irony of history, that the acclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights who claimed to have fought for democracy during the era of General Sani Abacha now find themselves worse than the man they opposed.

Today, General Sani Abacha, once presumed face of oppression, will be remembered as seemingly more democratic and more respectful of human rights than the so-called champions of activism from the NADECO days. Power indeed reveals character.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
