“Chris Ngige was the only governor in the history of Nigeria to have been kidn@pped. But immediately Peter Obi assumed office as governor, things started changing. Every day, we military personnel were on the move, working to tackle insecurity. I served under retired Major General Enenche. If Peter Obi becomes President of Nigeria, insecurity in the country will become a thing of the past. I’m speaking from experience.”

FROM WHAT WE BUILT TO WHAT WE LOST: LESSONS FROM NIGERIA’S HISTORY

Today, I attended the Daily Times Newspaper’s 100th anniversary celebration in Abuja. The occasion brought back fond memories of my younger days, when I would visit the newspaper stand at 57 Old Market Road, Onitsha, opposite the General Post Office, simply to read the front pages of the newspapers.

I was particularly interested in stories about governance, our economy, and Nigeria’s development. Those early encounters with newspapers helped shape my interest in understanding our country and the choices that have shaped our journey as a nation.

At the exhibition, I took time to go through some of the old publications. What I saw was both fascinating and deeply sobering.

One of the most striking things I came across was an advertisement for the Nigerian Shipping Line. In 1959, it had 6 ships; by 1960, it had 8; and by 1961, it had grown to 10 ships.

Today, more than six decades later, the Nigerian Shipping Line has no ships.

I also read about Nigerian Airways, which began operations in 1958 and, by 1980, had grown into one of Africa’s leading airlines, with a fleet of over 30 aircraft and direct flights to London, New York, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, and other international destinations. At one point, it even operated a Boeing 747, one of the largest aircraft of its time.

Sadly, Nigerian Airways eventually ceased operations in 2003.

The comparison with Emirates is particularly instructive. Nigerian Airways had already developed a substantial fleet before Emirates commenced operations in 1985 with just two leased aircraft. Today, Emirates operates a fleet of more than 250 aircraft, while the Nigerian national airline of that era no longer exists.

These are not merely stories from old newspapers. They are reminders of what Nigeria once built, what our people were capable of achieving, and, most importantly, what we failed to sustain.

The tragedy is not that these institutions belonged to a different era. The tragedy is that a country blessed with enormous human and material resources allowed many of its once-promising institutions to decline and disappear through years of poor leadership, mismanagement, corruption, and weak accountability.

Even more painful is the fact that while many of our institutions have weakened or disappeared, corruption seems to have remained one of the few things that has continued to grow.

We must ask ourselves: Why did institutions that once worked begin to fail? Why have countries that started behind us overtaken us? Why have we repeatedly failed to preserve the institutions and investments created by previous generations? The answers must guide the choices we make today.

I commend Mr. Fidelis Anosike and his team for keeping the Daily Times legacy alive and, importantly, preserving an important part of Nigeria’s history for present and future generations.

A nation that forgets its history risks repeating its mistakes. We must remember where we came from, honestly examine what went wrong, learn from both our successes and failures, and build institutions that can outlive individual leaders and political administrations. Nigeria is not condemned to decline.

We can rebuild our institutions. We can restore confidence in government. We can create an economy that produces rather than merely consumes. We can build enterprises that compete globally. And we can create a country where the next generation inherits stronger institutions, greater opportunities, and a better quality of life than the generation before it.

The Nigeria we desire is possible. But it requires leadership anchored on competence, accountability, prudence, integrity, and service. We must stop celebrating what Nigeria used to be and start rebuilding what Nigeria can become.

The journey to rebuild Nigeria must begin now.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Update: In the @FBI filing before the court, the FBI asked the court not to allow the disclosure of highly sensitive “wiretap” recordings responsive to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT). You read that correctly: the FBI admits that the Tinubu-responsive records contain wiretap material. Immediately afterward, the #FBI states that these wiretap-responsive records were compiled in furtherance of its investigation of multiple individuals for heroin-trafficking crimes. In our plain-English reading of the document, the FBI has Nigerian President Bola Tinubu on tape connected to heroin-trafficking crimes.

Not surprisingly, the FBI goes on to specifically invoke FOIA Exemption 3 and 18 U.S.C. §§ 2510–2520, the federal law governing Title III wiretaps, to protect the identities of individuals targeted for interception and information obtained from those wiretaps. The problem with this argument is that #FOIA has limited protection for deceased persons and persons convicted of a crime. The FBI itself states on pages 19–20 of Document 100-1 that “privacy concerns are typically obviated once an individual is deceased.” We are speculating, but the only targeted person we believe is alive in that case is Nigerian President Bola #Tinubu.

We truly hope that the court puts aside the FBI’s argument and orders the release of the wiretap material. If Nigerian President Tinubu is on those wiretap tapes connected to #heroin trafficking, the American people, the @realDonaldTrump Administration, Congress, and the #Nigerian people deserve to know what those tapes contain.

“Coming 2027 election, nobody will intimidate us again at the polling unit. Forget all these noises. They will try to manipulate the IREV, but it won’t be easy this time around. There will be so many IREVs; if their own doesn’t work, our own will work. If it has glitches, we will give them a new one that has no glitches, because by allowing them to continue, the glitches will glitch our lives.”

Together, OK Movement with Smart Ballot will take the fight for credible elections to the grassroots polling unit by polling unit.

We are building a movement where citizens are informed, organized, mobilized and ready to defend their votes.
No voter left behind.

Some of you don’t read between the lines.

You think Keyamo coming on the internet to tweet “agreement is agreement” means they handed Adeleke the win?

No!

They are playing a mind game. A psychological game on you!

They want to invalidate the people of Osun and demoralize the momentum building that says, “If Osun people can do it, we can too.”

Can’t you see that’s the only thing left for APC?

Mind games!

And some of you shamefully bought it.

You actually believed APC, the same party that refused to let Adeleke join them, would suddenly strike a deal with him to give them Osun in 2027?

Think about it. If an APC candidate wins in Osun, will he not have worked to give them Osun?

You mean it’s all a script and 28 persons died?

APC were beaten blue-black in Osun, and in 2027, we will come out in our millions and chase these heartless criminals out of our government!

Every Nigerian must participate!

If you don’t have a voter’s card, you will join those who have theirs in vote collation watch.

There was no agreement between Adeleke and APC. If there was one, Keyamo would not be tweeting about it on the internet. They would have simply allowed him to join APC, and he would win under their platform.

Na shame wear dem JIGIDA.

Shame and panic!

As for Adeleke thanking Tinubu, it’s all politics. If not, he has one vote, and we will count him among the 35 governors we will disgrace next year, just as the people of Osun disgraced the 18 governors.

Politics is politics. Don’t let political courtesy and strategy confuse you about the bigger picture.
