A BUILDER OF OLD WASTE PLACES, A RAISER OF THE FOUNDATION OF MANY GENERATIONS, A REPAIRER OF THE BREACH, AND A RESTORER OF PATHS TO DWELL IN.
ISAIAH 58:12
Where is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?
This is not just a question; it’s a critical demand for accountability in a national emergency. As we approach the end of this year, Nigeria will be home to approximately 140 million people living in extreme poverty—the highest number in the world. We are grappling with one of the hungriest populations globally, staggering insecurity, an unemployment rate exceeding 80 million among our youth, and one of the worst places to be born, with infant mortality rates worse than those of a nation seven times our size.
In the midst of this chaos, where has our President been? Spending 196 days abroad in 2025 alone—more than he has spent within his own country, at a time when we face profound crises.
Since December 2025, Nigerians have not heard a word from their President. Reports indicate he opted for a holiday in Europe while the nation was plunged into a New Year marked by hunger, anxiety, and uncertainty. There was no New Year address, no national broadcast, no leadership voice to provide reassurance or guidance.
This lack of presence starkly contrasts with what we see in comparable developing nations where leaders step up in times of crisis. In Nigeria, following U.S. military strikes on our soil, our President remained silent. Instead of directly addressing the nation, Nigerians learned about these critical events from foreign media, American officials, and the vague communications from the Presidency’s aides known for their propaganda, rather than from their own leader.
This is not governance; it’s neglect. The President was seen abroad yet again for another summit while remaining absent from his own country when he is needed the most. Earlier this year, he even sent an AI-generated image to the nation instead of addressing his people face-to-face.
Are we to believe Nigeria is being governed, or is it merely being managed from elsewhere? Leadership is not simply issuing press releases; it’s about standing before the people, engaging with them, and offering clarity.
We are not asking for perfection; we demand presence. Nigerians are eager to hear from their President through direct media briefings. They deserve to understand the state of their country. You cannot run Nigeria like a personal business or a private club; it is imperative to rebuild and grow our economy through unity and clarity.
Progress is impossible without unity and consensus, and it begins with strong leadership that sets the tone. No policy, reform, economic plan, or security measure can thrive in a divided nation. When leadership withdraws, unity falters, and the fabric of our society unravels under the weight of mistrust and division.
In a time of crisis, the absence of leadership is not just troubling; it is perilous. Silence in the face of crisis is the loudest form of failure.
A New Nigeria is not just POssible; it is essential. -PO
We thank china for their solidarity to Nigeria but remember china is fighting for their own mineral exploitation in Nigeria here.
We also thank the EU but remember they have their interests too
We need a Nigerian leader that will fight for the interests of Nigerians
Stop the killings

Thank you, and may God bless you.
Showing and telling people your weaknesses does not make them help you in most cases, if not all. In fact, quite the opposite. It often teaches them how to hurt you with more precision since they now know your pressure points. If a goat cries to a leopard, it only tells the leopard where to find it and kill him. Do you have a weakness? Welcome to Earth. We all have weaknesses. But the weakest weakness is advertising your weakness!

If you wake up on a Monday morning and enter a train in London and its environs, you can hardly find two people talking to each other. Everyone avoids eye contact. There is silence. The only noise you hear is the choo choo-ing of the train. Very little human interaction.
The same thing happens on buses and the streets. It is as if people have been put in a trance-like state, and they become zombies heading off to different workplaces doing work that they don't like to get the money that they like. In fact, you will see the rat race on steroids.
Nobody has time for you. Each person is wrapped up in themselves. This cycle is repeated every working day. And then, at four in the evening, there will be a wave of people, all stoic and cold, moving in the other direction. Very soon, you find that it is hard to make friends. And even if it is possible, you may not be able to maintain friendships, as the work commute takes its toll on you.
As an African immigrant, this is your first culture shock. Then you become part of the system. You get a job, and your life revolves around it. You buy a house, and you take up a second job because the mortgage is something else.
Then your biological mother visits from Nigeria, and you can't even spend five unbroken hours with her, because you have to go to your second job soon after you finished your first job. You are not even aware that you have become more committed to the rat race than to your family.
And you are thirty. You will do this for the next thirty five years. Yes, you have a lot of things that people back in Africa do not have. But is life not more than things?
Don't take for granted the warmth, noise, the hustle and bustle, and the human connection you get in Africa. Even in a bus in Lagos, commuters are not strangers to each other. In the ninety minutes it takes for them to get to their destinations, they will 'gist' and have more interactions than you have had with your English neighbour since you moved next door to him.
Those are the little things that make life worth living, not material possessions that possess you to the extent that to keep them, you must stop living and become another fixture of the rat race.
What did the philosopher say again? Even if you win the rat race, you are still a rat!
If you japa, you may end up trading relational wealth for economic prosperity. And in the evening of your life, you may ask yourself, 'What did it profit me to gain the whole world and lose my soul to the rat race?'

Properties in Lagos state is about to decline due to one statement. This is very sad for real estate developers and investors. I think all of you knows the majority of people acquiring these properties, I don’t think they are longer interested.
@chimaobi_nteoma If it is by their dressing , none because the one in black has also opened her breast before in her dressing. That is Liquor rose. Please fact check.
