Happy Birthday to a dogged soldier in faith, Anthony Cardinal Okogie.
Today, I joyfully join the Catholic community in Nigeria, in particular the Archdiocese of Lagos and the entire nation, in celebrating a true soldier of Christ and an exemplary leader, His Eminence, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, Emeritus Archbishop of Lagos, on his Triple Milestones.
We give immense thanks to God as His Eminence marks his 90th Birthday Anniversary, 60th Priestly Ordination Anniversary, and 55th Episcopal Ordination Anniversary today, June 16, 2026.
Cardinal Okogie’s life has been a remarkable testament to inimitable faith, courage, and deep commitment to justice and the welfare of the common man. His fearless voice in defence of truth and good governance continues to inspire generations.
May the Almighty God grant him continued good health, peace, and abundant blessings as he continues to guide us with his wisdom.
Happy Birthday, Your Eminence! -PO
BREAKING: Emeka Ike Sues INEC and Wike’s Aide Lere Olayinka for ₦10 Billion Over the alleged unauthorised release of his voter registration information.
Dear well-meaning Nigerians, the presidential candidate of the @NigeriaNDCHQ has consistently encouraged us not to relent in our quest for a Nigeria that works.
A Nigeria where the safety of lives and property is a top priority.
A Nigeria where elected officials do not play politics with governance.
A Nigeria where accountability is valued above sycophancy.
A Nigeria where our resources are properly harnessed, and human development is central. Where education is affordable, accessible, and the welfare of citizens is truly improved.
To build this Nigeria, Peter Obi needs you, and I need you, to register for your PVCs (voter’s card), so we are eligible to vote and defend our votes.
For those in Abuja, we will be hosting a PVC registration party this Saturday at Uzzitzz Event Centre, Mabushi.
Come, engage, and have a good time while we help you resolve any PVC-related challenges.

Peter Lifu never disappoints. As judge of @FederalHigh, you can predict the cases that will come to his court & you can predict what he will decide.

Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.
When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.
Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.
Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.
We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.
I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.
To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
When I saw the video of Peter Obi at a conference in Abuja, I thought it was an old clip.
That man returned to Nigeria and started from where he stopped.
Still sharp and active.
Before APC came into Power If you had N1m in your bank account the Money had Weight. Being a Millionaire in Naira wasn’t easy to Attain but it felt fulfilling Once you achieved it. Now N1m a month salary can’t even sustain a Single Man.
VOTE WISELY 2027.
APC MUST GO. 😤🇳🇬
The Commendable Act of Nigerian Artists at the World Cup
Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup, as I previously stated, stems not from a lack of talent but from a conspicuous deficiency in political leadership that has failed to create an enabling environment for talent development.
This assertion is underscored by two notable occurrences during the tournament: the vibrant participation and impressive performances of Nigerian artists, and the presence of numerous Nigerians representing other nations on the field. These observations present a significant imperative for Nigeria’s political leaders to actively foster an environment in which the nation’s youth can fully realize their potential.
Furthermore, Davido’s impactful gesture in drawing global attention to Nigeria’s security challenges warrants commendation. He prominently displayed the names of schoolchildren who had been held captive for an extended period, advocating for their safe return. By utilizing his international platform, Davido effectively highlighted Nigeria’s security crisis, transcending mere entertainment. He appeared in a custom black leather jacket emblazoned with the message “BRING THEM HOME,” accented with green buttons bearing the names of 39 schoolchildren and 7 teachers recently abducted by bandits in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The pervasive insecurity in Nigeria merits international scrutiny, particularly given the government’s apparent inability to effectively address the situation. Nevertheless, the prospect of a revitalized Nigeria remains achievable. -PO
Kenneth Okonkwo used to shuttle TV Stations every 10 hours interval.
Since Peter Obi sued him, nobody has seen him in any TV or Radio Station since then 😂😂

PRESS STATEMENT
OBIDIENT MOVEMENT CONDEMNS THE REHABILITATION AND REINTEGRATION OF 744 TERRORISTS INTO NIGERIAN SOCIETY
The Obidient Movement condemns in the strongest possible terms the rehabilitation and planned reintegration of 744 so-called repentant terrorists into Nigerian society under Operation Safe Corridor.
A country where children are kidnapped from schools, teachers are killed in captivity, farmers are slaughtered on their farms, communities are taken over by terrorists, and even retired army generals are not safe has no moral right to start pampering terrorists in the name of rehabilitation. The death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar in captivity should shame every person in this government. If a retired army general, a man who served this country at the highest level of military communication, can be abducted and die in captivity, what exactly is the safety of the ordinary Nigerian?
As if that was not enough, at least 17 farmers were killed and 13 others injured in Goron Namaye, Maradun, Zamfara, while they were working on their farms. So farmers cannot farm. Children cannot go to school. Teachers cannot teach. Citizens cannot travel. Retired army generals cannot live safely. Yet the same government that cannot protect the living is rehabilitating and preparing to release terrorists back into society. What kind of wicked national arrangement is this?
What kind of country rewards terror and abandons victims? What kind of government rehabilitates terrorists while widows of fallen soldiers are still crying? What kind of leadership trains murderers in skills while many victims of their violence are left with trauma, poverty, displacement, and graves? What message is this government sending to the soldiers still fighting in the bush? What message are they sending to the families of murdered soldiers? What message are they sending to parents whose children are still in captivity? What message are they sending to communities destroyed by these same monsters?
You cannot bury soldiers and rehabilitate terrorists. You cannot mourn generals and pamper the enemies of the state. You cannot claim to be fighting insecurity while recycling the very people who helped create it. This policy is a slap on every victim of terrorism in Nigeria. It is a slap on every soldier who died defending this country. It is a slap on every parent who has lost a child, every community that has been displaced, every woman violated, every teacher killed, every farmer slaughtered, and every citizen living under fear.
The government owes Nigerians answers. Who are these 744 people? What exactly did they do? Who did they kill? Which communities did they attack? How were they vetted? Who is monitoring them? Where are they being sent? What guarantee exists that they will not return to terrorism? That they swore on the quran? The same quran they claim to quote while carrying out terrorism? The same quran they hide behind while killing, kidnapping, burning communities, and destroying innocent lives? Nigeria must stop treating religious performance as national security strategy.
Why are the names of these people hidden from the public while innocent Nigerians are expected to accept them back into society? A government that cannot protect citizens has no business asking citizens to trust its terrorist rehabilitation experiment. This country has seen too much blood to be playing with national security like this.
If one of these so-called repentant terrorists returns to violence, who will take responsibility? If one of them joins another cell, who will answer? If one of them uses the training received from government to strengthen criminal networks, who will be held accountable? Nigeria cannot continue to reward violence and punish innocence.
The same government that cannot properly compensate victims is rehabilitating terrorists. The same government that cannot equip soldiers properly is training terrorists. The same government that cannot secure schools is preparing to return terrorists into communities. The same government that cannot rescue abducted children is asking Nigerians to accept the reintegration of people linked to terror. The same government that cannot stop terrorists from slaughtering farmers on their own farmland is playing forgiveness politics with the same violence destroying food security.
This is the height of irresponsibility. No serious country treats terrorism like a youth empowerment programme. No serious nation takes people who helped destroy communities, gives them training, hides their identities, and expects traumatised citizens to clap. Peace without justice is nonsense. Rehabilitation without accountability is danger. Reintegration without transparency is reckless.
The Obidient Movement demands the immediate suspension of this reintegration process until Nigerians are given full transparency. We demand full disclosure of the vetting process. We demand independent monitoring of every person released under Operation Safe Corridor. We demand proper justice and compensation for victims before any government thinks of pampering perpetrators. We demand that soldiers, victims, displaced communities, farmers, and families of the dead be prioritised above terrorists. We demand a national security policy that protects innocent Nigerians, not one that rewards those who made the country bleed.
A country where army generals can die in captivity should not be forgiving terrorists. A country where children are still in the bush with their captors should not be graduating terrorists. A country where teachers are killed and beheaded should not be celebrating terrorist rehabilitation. A country where farmers are slaughtered on their farms should not be reintegrating terrorists. A country where citizens cannot travel safely should not be releasing hundreds of so-called repentant terrorists into society.
Nigeria cannot heal by embracing the hands that are choking it. Enough of this madness. Protect citizens. Honour the fallen. Compensate victims. Secure communities. Stop pampering terrorists.
