As the World Cup Begins Without Nigeria
As the World Cup begins today across three nations, I identify with our teeming football followers and urge them not to be despondent that Nigeria is not participating, despite the abundant talent in our land.
Our failure to participate on the global stage is not due to a deficit of talent; it is a direct consequence of a deficit in leadership, planning, and institutional support.
The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. Do not watch the World Cup with despair; rather, see it as a reminder of where Nigeria ought to be. We must move our country from being a nation of mere consumers of global entertainment to a nation of proud producers and competitors.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

"It doesn't matter if all the 36 Governors are with Tinubu, I will win in 2027 election, I didn't have one Governor in the last election but i won 12 states
— Peter Obi in a recent interview in Washington DC
The Nigeria we seek is one where every child, regardless of tribe, religion, gender, or background, has access to quality education, healthcare, and opportunities to thrive.
A Nigeria where leadership is built on competence, character, and accountability not ethnicity, patronage, or empty promises.
A Nigeria where young people are not forced to leave in search of opportunities, but can build successful lives and businesses at home. A nation where security is guaranteed, justice is accessible, and hard work is rewarded.
The Nigeria we seek is one that invests in its people, protects its resources, strengthens its institutions, and restores the dignity of its citizens.
It is a Nigeria where diversity becomes our strength, not our division; where elections are decided by ideas, not intimidation; and where every citizen believes that tomorrow can be better than today.
This Nigeria is possible with @PeterObi if only if we choose participation over apathy, unity over division, and nation-building over personal interests. The future we desire will not be handed to us; it must be deliberately built by all of us.

All the people that had so much to say about Qatar 4 years ago, are suddenly silent about the USA. All Qatar did was ask the world to respect its culture.
The USA is violating every professional and ethical rule that governs the sport and everyone is silent.
Excessive Borrowing Without Accountability: Further Affirmation of Imprudent Governance.
President Bola Tinubu's administration has engaged in remarkably imprudent borrowing, escalating Nigeria's total debt to approximately N200 trillion. This represents an increase of over N100 trillion within a mere three years, a stark contrast to the roughly N49 trillion accumulated during President Muhammadu Buhari's eight-year tenure, which would have projected to around N80 trillion. As millions of Nigerians grapple with the shock of this unsustainable debt accumulation, the situation is exacerbated by the government's reckless approach to borrowing and a profound absence of accountability and transparency in the utilisation of these funds.
For instance, data from the Federation's Budget Office reveals that the Bola Tinubu government borrowed N11.89 trillion in the first three quarters of 2025 (January to September), exceeding the planned borrowing target of N10.34 trillion by approximately N1.54 trillion. Under a responsible and accountable government, such an overshoot would necessitate rigorous scrutiny and explanation from relevant governmental bodies. Regrettably, this is not the reality under the current administration.
Compounding this issue, only N3.10 trillion of the borrowed funds was allocated to capital expenditure during the same January-September 2025 period. This constitutes a mere 17.66% of the N17.58 trillion earmarked for capital projects, leaving a deficit of roughly N14.48 trillion, or 82.34% of planned capital expenditure unfunded.
The most disturbing aspect of the financial management fiasco under Bola Tinubu is that there is no explanation or information regarding how the balance was utilised or deployed. The question that Nigerians are rightly asking and deserve an answer to is what happened to the balance? Was it deployed for recurrent expenditure/ consumption, for the entertainment of guests to Aso Rock or transferred to the Renewed Hope Agenda 2027 Election Campaign Fund? Nigerians deserve an answer on how our economy and resources are most unpatriotically managed.
A New and Productive Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK!
