Today is D-day.
Our boys are now at the Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma for the Grand Finale of the International STEM Olympiad in Rome, Italy.
I’m optimistic about their victory.
Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
Dear Nigerians, January 16th presidential election date for 2027, was well thought after, and highly strategic.
(1) Many will still be in their villages, and may most likely not vote.
(My Southeastern brothers and sisters)
(2) Salaries that will be paid between 22nd, 23rd and 24th December, must have been exhausted. (Rice, 5k or 10k for vote, will be highly tempting)
(3) House rent and school fees pressure will be hitting so hard by then. (5k, 10, or 20k for vote, will be so so tempting)
Please don't sell your votes. If you know you will spend January 2027 in your village, kindly apply to transfer your polling unit to your village now that INEC's continuous voter registration exercise is still ongoing.
Please go and get your PVC, and vote
OK and the NDC ✌️
It's your shortest cut to the actualization of our dream of a new Nigeria that is possible.
Abi suffer no dey tire you?
Retweet and share.
@Biglummy100 Lol, even though I agree with your bias,
Let's take it one step at a time.
We will go to the poll to have the election as required by law, and if they try to play foul just like 2023,
We ignite the REVOLUTION.
We no fit just start revolution just like that
I promise you that no cultural event will hold in this country if those kids were the children of big government officials, but go on.
Keep sprinkling tribalism to make your points valid.
Hello @LCFC
I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. I’ve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.
I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.
I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.
My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn
Thanks,
Olaogun

On no account must Tinubu win a reelection. I already have my PVC from the last election. I will fly in to vote for Peter Obi, like I did in the last election. Nigeria deserves competent leader, not every day “it saddens me, or I’m in shock” type of leaders.
Sheikh Gumi advocates For Terrorists and he's celebrated.
Justice Crack advocates for Soldiers and he's arrested and prosecuted.
Isn't Nigeria a crime scene like this?
I am losing it man. You wake up and some new set of people have been kidnapped or someone has been beheaded on the news and it is just statistics and loss of life have become background noise.
And we are unfortunate to be ruled by a government that will not swing into action or a military that is incapacitated and possess no threat to the brazen effrontery of terrorism.
Then you are online seeing people say they regretted voting for Obi in 2023, you are regretting an action that has no MATERIAL CONSEQUENCE on your current state of living!
God help my heart the next set of words about to come out are very unchristian.
Everyone who participated in bringing this current government to power are complicit including your Fathers in the Lord.
