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

It has been 6 months+ since Fr. Emmanuel Ezemma was abducted from his home in the dead of the night by islamic terrorists.
He was abducted on 2nd December 2025.
Something still tells me that he is alive.
I will not stop praying for his quick and safe release.
Please in your kindness, pray for his safe release.
He is a good priest from my Diocese.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: The return of Jesus Christ is closer than ever.
Please share this with someone who needs hope and encouragement today.
God bless you abundantly!
Today is exactly one month since Borno & Oyo State schoolchildren were kidnapped! ONE WHOLE MONTH, & our children are not back!
They are eighty-one in number, including seven teachers. We lost a teacher in a beheading.
From public outcry to street protests. Then we move on. Please we shouldn’t forget them.
It’s the rainy season in Nigeria, they must be cold. There are mosquitoes, their immune system is not that strong. Then there is acute malnutrition otherwise called kwashiorkor.
There are waterborne diseases as well.
Diarrhea, malaria, acute malnutrition, etc. The children are dealing with all of these elements. Then there is the human factor — trauma in the form of constant trepidation. My paranoia is justified! They risk becoming child brides. Child marriage is not a thing to sweep under the rug.
Who is going to give them the closure they so desperately need? Closure is a psychological support to move on & achieve your life dreams.
I’m sure they have a bucket list, goals or things they want to achieve during their lifetime. I’m sure we have engineers, doctors, teachers, nurses, pilots, architects, etc among them.
This is their formative years. They shouldn’t miss out on a sheltered life; the promise of a better tomorrow. We shouldn’t forget them!
They stay in the bush so that politicians can soirée & party harder. Nigeria is the father that abandoned his children. Please remember them today & say a prayer for them. They remind us that Nigeria is a country of particular concern.
This is heartbreaking. This is solidarity. Children are praying for their friends to be rescued. A mother who is a teacher is crying for help. The significance of “May 15” is not lost on us.
They are our children dealing with adult problems. They shouldn’t become part of an ongoing statistics. I am only pleading.
At this point? Your silence will fail the children. PLEASE LEND YOUR VOICE TO THIS. 💔🙏
Your PVC is more than a card; it is your voice, your power, and your responsibility. Every election is an opportunity to shape the future we desire. Don’t sit on the sidelines and complain participate, vote, and be part of the change. Together, we can build a nation founded on good governance, accountability, and shared prosperity. Register, collect your PVC, and make your vote count. Nigeria will be OK. 🇳🇬✊🏾
The Obidient Movement remains an organic movement driven by the self-sacrifice, commitment, and collective determination of Nigerians who believe that a New Nigeria is Possible.
We align strongly with the ideas and principles of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, who has consistently demonstrated a different approach to politics by challenging the dominance of a money-driven political system. While resources are important in politics, the excessive influence of money has caused significant harm to Nigeria's democratic development and the well-being of its people.
As believers in democratic values, we are concerned about the deregistration of political parties such as ADC, AA, ZLP and APP. A vibrant democracy thrives on inclusiveness, political participation, and the availability of diverse platforms through which citizens can freely express their aspirations and choices.
The future of Nigeria's democracy must be built on fairness, inclusion, credible institutions, and the active participation of citizens. The Obidient Movement will continue to advocate for good governance, accountability, and a democratic culture that empowers the people rather than wealth and political influence.

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
“He goes by the name Bola Tinubu but nobody knows his real name. His whole background is mystery, he has 3 different official birthdays. One of his college diplomas is for a female. He was forced to leave the United States, he was in South Chicago the same time as Obama & Axerold & was a heroin kingpin, he wrote a cheque for a half a million dollars to the DEA & fled the country. That’s the current president of Nigeria.”
~Mike Arnold introduces Bola Tinubu (the man currently occupying the highest office) to the world
AFTER 2 WEEKS WITH BANDITS, SHE PREFERRED D£@TH TO RANSOMED FREEDOM
A 23-year-old girl—barely an adult, still full of dreams—was kidnapped by bandits. They demanded 50 million naira. Her family begged, pleaded, and cried for mercy. The bandits refused to reduce a single kobo.
For two weeks, her father fought like a lion. He borrowed, sold, and bled dry to raise every kobo. Finally, he had the 50 million. He called them, desperate to hear his daughter’s voice one more time before paying.
She came on the phone, instead of begging to be saved, she told her father: “Don’t pay. I will kill myself if they release me.”
Because for fourteen days—fourteen unthinkable, merciless days—those monsters had been raping life out of her over and over. Daily. Hourly. Destroying her soul while she was still alive.
When the bandits heard what she said, they put a bullet in her head. Then they sent her family the video and pictures of her final moment on earth.
She was murd£r£d—after being tortured in ways no human being should ever suffer.
This is not about politics anymore. This is about our humanity. This is about mothers who will never hold their daughters again. Fathers who gather ransom only to receive a corpse. Young girls who go to sleep terrified that tonight might be their turn.
May grief never leave the door of those that brought Nigeria to this point and may the pain they ignore today find them a million times over tomorrow.
(A heartbroken Nigerian)
