I want to appreciate Dr. Osuji my colleague, who came to assist me in doing some of the 65 free Adenotonsillectomy surgeries.
Also I seize this opportunity to appreciate the senior Anesthetist, Dr. Obietan that came to Anesthetize today. I also want to appreciate the scrub nurse, circulating nurse, the anesthetic technician and the cleaner who made sure the theatre was clean during the surgeries today. I know I can’t pay you but Nigerians deeply appreciate and love you, most especially the parents of the children who were operated on.
To remove Tinubu in 2027 we must be as Ruthless as he is.
We must understand that we shouldn't be fair because they won't be fair.
We must understand that to save Nigeria from Tinubu we must fight against many múmú Nigerians
ARE YOU READY?
This is A THANK YOU message to God’s Servant His Eminence John Cardinal Onaiyekan and the entire Catholic Bishop’s Conference
Thank you for remaining a beacon of Hope and a Symbol of Truth to this Nation
Thank you for Speaking Truth to Power on behalf of ALL well meaning Nigerians

We are Grateful to you, We Love you and may your Labor of Love never be in vain 🙏🏽
THANK YOU 🙏🏽 ❤️

For all Well Meaning Nigerians
I enjoyed history in High School and my teacher was one of the best. Venerable GB Daramola who was my history teacher at Loyola and became one of the great school principals of the Southwest was thorough with the checks and balances of the Oyo kingdom and the Oyomesi.
✝️ WHEN THE CHURCH RECOVERS ITS MORAL VOICE
To describe every religious leader who speaks uncomfortable truth to power as an opposition politician is to misunderstand the public responsibility of the Church.
The Church is not called to contest for political office. Neither is it called to remain silent while citizens suffer, institutions weaken and leadership loses touch with the people.
In KKP Sunday Reflections - Edition 004, When a Nation’s Conscience Is Troubled, I wrote:
“I believe the hour has come for the Church in Nigeria to recover its moral voice.
Not the voice of political partisanship. Not the voice of anger, bitterness or condemnation. Not a voice that becomes loud when political opponents are in power and quiet when friends and preferred leaders commit similar wrongs.
But a voice grounded in Scripture, shaped by the character of Christ and expressed with courage, compassion, humility and consistency.”

The Church must never become an appendage of any political party. But neither should it surrender truth for access, moral independence for political favour or spiritual authority for proximity to power.
When bishops speak about hunger, insecurity, injustice, weak institutions or the suffering of citizens, the proper response is not to label them partisan. It is to engage the substance of what they have said.
And as we reflected in today’s Edition 006, Do Not Let Hardship Harden Your Heart, prolonged hardship tests not only the hearts of citizens, but also the hearts of leaders.
Citizens may be hardened into bitterness and contempt. Leaders may be hardened into denial, defensiveness and distance from those carrying the burden.

The real question is not whether the Church should speak.
The question is whether it will speak truthfully, consistently and courageously, no matter who is in power.
Changing Hearts. Shaping Leaders. Building Nations.

One passion I have had from my time as a 17 year old undergrad has been for nationbuilding . It led me into the vanguard of the struggle against military rule in the 1970s. Democracy was our battle cry. It was natural therefore that I have followed global thought on its travails
When John Cardinal Onaiyekan completed High School at Mount St. Michael's Secondary School in Aliade (now Benue State) in 1962, he graduated as the absolute best graduating student in all of the old Northern Region (19 States & the FCT).
Today, he is set upon by hirelings of a man who is more comfortable in the company of #FakeBishops than with the real ones & who cannot say what primary or secondary school he went to.

The APCs fear of competing ideas is evident in the incorporation of the judiciary, capture of the Legislature and unleashing of miscreants in social media to insult those they are incapable of engaging in rational public conversation
What this structuring of the road to APC as path to forgiveness of sins and survival for narcissistic politicians lacking in principles did is that it effectively defined the arena as the people versus the politicians. Claude Ake foresaw this alienation of state and society.
Hello August!
Campaign season is here and our commitment hasn’t changed. We’re building toward a Nigeria that is truly OK, one rooted in justice, opportunity, unity and accountable leadership. 💪
The people deserve better and together we have the power to deliver it. Our movement is stronger and resolve unwavering.
Happy New Month. 🎉
Nigeria will be OK. ✌🏽
On the democratic space and extant reality in Nigeria I stand with John Cardinal Onayekan and the Catholic Bishops. Those who think shrinking the space for competition of thought either do not understand the essence of democracy, or are mischievous.
Alhamdulillah 🙏🏽
I am deeply honored by this appointment as National Deputy Secretary of the OK Movement. Thank you to the leadership and members for the trust.
I remain committed to service, good governance, accountability and amplifying the voices of our people.
Together we will build the Nigeria we all deserve.
Nigeria Will Be OK ✌🏽
All these attacks against Cardinal are plain nonsense. Cardinal is the most credible and respected Christian leader in Nigeria. His courage, truthfulness and honesty are without comparison. I know him closely.
The outrage is because he did not say “Well, insecurity is not Tinubu’s fault, Poverty is not Tinubu’s fault. Let us keep praying to God for help”.
If you hold Tinubu responsible for his failings, you are an Obidient, whether you are Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani or Nupe; whether you are a pastor, bishop, imam or babalawo
Honouring Two Extraordinary Nigerians: Charly Boy and Newton Jibunoh
Yesterday, July 31, I attended the launch of 999: The Memoir of Charly Boy in Lagos.
Charly Boy is one of those people many may easily dismiss because of his appearance or the public persona he projects. But beyond that is Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, a thoughtful intellectual, a compassionate human being, and a patriot deeply committed to building a better society for all.
What particularly inspired me was the work he is doing through his foundation to promote men’s health. Having survived prostate cancer himself, he has chosen to transform his personal experience into a campaign for awareness, early detection, and improved access to treatment. Good health remains one of the most critical foundations of a productive and progressive society, and I am committed to supporting this noble cause.
Today, August 1st, I visited the newly established Newton Jibunoh Centre and Museum in Asaba, the brainchild of Newton Jibunoh. Although I was unable to attend his Mandela Day event, themed “Poverty and Inequality Are in Our Hands,” I considered it important to pay him a visit.
My dear Father, Newton Jibunoh, remains one of Nigeria’s living icons. He is a man whose stories, experiences, and wisdom can keep you listening for hours without fatigue. His remarkable road expeditions across the Sahara Desert to London, beginning in 1967 and repeated in 2000, 2008, and subsequent years, are enduring testimonies to courage, resilience, determination, and an adventurous spirit.
His extraordinary journeys also remind us of a period when travelling across Nigeria and beyond was far safer than it is today. Listening to him always leaves me reflecting on how much we have lost as a nation and how much work still lies ahead if we are to rebuild a secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria.
A New Nigeria is POssible! -PO
“When the nation is bleeding, you can’t expect a polite meeting with the Head of State. We need to let him know. And his reply is that the nation is not bleeding. We told him the economy is not helping the poor people. He said economy is doing fine. Practically speaking, he told us quite clearly that he does not agree with us.”
Cardinal Onaiyekan shares details of the Catholic Bishops meeting with President Tinubu.
Today two of the three children that had the Adenotonsillectomy surgery yesterday has been discharged. The third child is still recovering and will be discharged soon.
