The corruption, co-optation and defanging of the Nigerian judiciary.
Dear political science majors,
When you hear “state capture”, the post below conveys its meaning to the fullest.
Nigerian “democracy” is a Potemkin construct
You are comparing the cost of fuel in the largest crude oil and gas exporter on the continent with that in a country that imports PMS, Kenya.
Why not compare the cost of fuel in Nigeria with that in Libya or Iran?
But hey…
When the government wants to work, it will work
A government that can build this in 24 months can also build a 1004 complex of one and two-room apartments in Abuja, and destroy the high cost of rent and win elections
The same way the government used solar to power itself out of darkness, but left you in band A
Notice how corruption did not affect these projects
You, who are writing a draft to attack this post, tell me what the government has done for you personally
In 2 days, the Sterling Bank National Mathematics Quiz will go live for all Nigerian students.
Starting Saturday, June 20, 2026, students from Primary 1 to SS3 across Nigeria will compete online for the prizes.
1st Prize – ₦500,000
2nd Prize – ₦300,000
3rd Prize – ₦200,000
That’s ₦1,000,000 in every quiz dedicated solely to rewarding academic excellence among Nigerian children.
But this is not just about winning money.
It is about building a culture where intelligence is celebrated.
It is about giving every child, whether in Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Bayelsa, Maiduguri, Aba, or a remote village, an opportunity to compete on a national stage.
Competition Schedule
• Saturday
• 6:00 PM – 6:20 PM
• Online nationwide
The top performers will then advance to a live championship session streamed online next day same time, where Nigerians can watch some of the country’s brightest students solve challenging mathematical problems in real time.
To ensure fairness and give more students the opportunity to benefit, every student can only win once.
And here’s what makes it even better:
Every participant will be able to review their questions after the competition, identify their weaknesses, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for the next challenge.
This means that even students who don’t win become better mathematicians.
Parents, teachers, school owners, and students should begin preparing immediately.
The questions will be tough and the competition will be fierce.
Registration is now open:

Please share this with every child, parent, teacher, school owner, principal, and education stakeholder you know.
Let’s make academic excellence prestigious again.
Peter Obi became Chairman of Fidelity Bank in 1996 at 34, emerging as the Youngest Chairman to ever head a Bank in Nigeria’s History.
He led the Bank from a Merchant Bank into a 33B Top commercial Bank by 2001.
45 Year olds “Data boys” are on X questioning him.
Omo 🤦🏾♂️
One day, Peter Lifu sits as judge of @FederalHigh to order @inecnigeria to de-register @ADCNig.
The next day, he presumes to sit again as a judge to adjudicate over the leadership of a party he says does not exist?
It is not that he lacks the capacity to see that there is a problem. It is that it shd now be quite evident that Peter Lifu no longer has the capacity to function as a judge. He is a #LowBudget hatchet man wearing a full-bottomed wig.

Reno Omokri advocated for Leah Shaibu when she was abducted.
Today, he is an ambassador without a base and says publicity for abducted children is the "oxygen of terrorism."
A man without a moral anchor
All of you that have been drafted in to attack @PeterObi , I want you to really reflect on why you were given our collective common wealth to wage an unjustified media war against a man who is not your President.
Think about how you have been paid to wage a media and propaganda war against a man whose only offense is to seek to do things right in Nigeria.
Ask yourself this important question, what is it about Peter Obi that you have been recruited to attack him on a daily basis.
Why will you be used to attack him and most importantly, what is it about his message that you have been recruited to suppress.
When Yahoo Yahok started many years ago in Nigeria, there were people who believed everything is fine provided that they were making money from an illegal act but it has completely destroyed our reputation as Nigerians in the comity of nations.
I urge you to reflect as to why you are ask to always tweet about PO.
We know that many of you are recruited and paid, some of you are doing this because your friends, family members have been given a job under this govt. we are also aware some of you are blackmailed and some, your jobs have been threatened. We have the evidence especially on most of you that consistently lie on this platform about PO.
It will save all of us if you tell those who recruited you to do the job of saving Nigeria than a campaign against PO
Young people are in kidnappers den but your daily attention is on PO.
It is nothing new and @officialABAT’s tenure will come to an end but just as his drug involvement in the US remain, your respective act/conduct will remain.
Remember, the internet never forgets and never will
Have a great day in your agenda.
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.

Every terrorist was once a child.
The difference between a future engineer and a future extremist is often opportunity, education, and hope.
If Nigeria is serious about security, education should be treated as national defense.
Instead of investing only in weapons, invest in educating children.
Sustainable Success Is Built on Competence, Integrity, Discipline and hardworking.
On Saturday, I had the privilege of interacting with young entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, and members of the emerging generation at the This Generation Conference hosted by Summit Bible Church in Abuja.
Our discussion focused on what it takes to thrive in the marketplace despite prevailing economic challenges. I shared insights from my years in business and public service, emphasizing that sustainable success is built on integrity, competence, discipline, and a commitment to creating value for society.
I reminded participants that no nation develops by consumption alone. Nations progress when their citizens are productive, innovative, and committed to excellence. Our young people must resist the temptation of shortcuts and instead embrace education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership.
The future of Nigeria depends largely on the quality of leadership and enterprise this generation is willing to build. We must move from a culture of sharing poverty to one of creating prosperity through production, innovation, and responsible governance.
I left encouraged by the energy, intelligence, and determination of the young people I met. Their questions, ideas, and aspirations reaffirmed my belief that Nigeria’s greatest resource remains her people.
Together, through hard work, integrity, and purposeful leadership, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
Growing up, I believed elders were naturally wiser, more honest, and more responsible.
What I’m seeing in Nigeria today has taught me that age and wisdom are not the same thing.
Character, integrity, and competence do not come with grey hair. They come from values.
🗣️Dear fellow Nigerians,
The 2026 Federal Government budget is the biggest in our history. N68.32 trillion approved. Let that number sit for a second.
But here is what they did not lead with. Nigeria is only expected to earn N36.87 trillion this year. That means the government can only fund 53.9% of its own budget from actual revenue. The remaining 46.1% will come from borrowing. And debt service alone will consume nearly 45% of everything we earn. That is N15.81 trillion going straight to paying back what we already owe, before a single road is fixed, before a single school is built, before a single hospital gets funded.
Every year, Nigeria sets revenue targets. Every year, we fall short. In 2025, the government projected N36.35 trillion in revenue. By June, only N10.92 trillion had come in. Yet the 2026 projections follow the same pattern, the same optimism, the same numbers that history tells us we will not meet.
Our full analysis of the 2026 Federal Government Approved Budget drops tomorrow. Do not miss it.

And then those of you who were quiet during Buhari's eight perilous and devastating years and have suddenly found your voices now, you are also very foolish. Stupid bigots. Don't think anyone considers you as allies. You know what you are doing.
Oh yes he did! Fela was alive during Buhari's run as head of state. Buhari was a failure then and Nigerians brought him back to fail again. Foolish people.
Nigeria is the only place where a politician can fail spectacularly and still have supporters explaining why the failure is actually a success.
Such idiocy must end in 2027.
