This right here needs to be amplified...

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.

A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.

They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.

They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.

Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.

The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.

Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.

At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.

Nothing happened to you.

The economy happened to you.

And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.

Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.

You didn’t lose your job.

You didn’t lose your salary.

But somehow, you lost your standard of living.

That is poverty too.

And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.

Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.

But surely, the bigger question should be:

Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?

If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.

But it has not solved the actual problem.

The real problem is that his labour has lost value.

And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.

How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?

How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?

How do we make food cheaper by producing more?

How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?

How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?

Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.

It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.

There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.

There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.

There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.

There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.

People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”

Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”

That is the part that keeps bothering me.

Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.

They just want hard work to make sense again.

And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:

Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?

Everything else is secondary.

SENATOR FRANCIS FADAHUNSI’S INCENDIARY RHETORIC AHEAD OF THE OSUN ELECTION

I wish to express my deep regret, and profound concern regarding the recent inflammatory comments and threat-laden rhetoric attributed to Senator Francis Fadahunsi in the lead-up to the Osun State election on Saturday.

As a high-ranking lawmaker representing the people in the National Assembly, Senator Fadahunsi carries a solemn constitutional and moral responsibility to promote peace, uphold democratic norms, and foster unity. It is therefore alarming and unacceptable that a distinguished senator would deploy intimidation, incendiary remarks, or political threats capable of heightening tensions, instilling fear in voters, and potentially inciting electoral violence in Osun State.

Elections are meant to be a celebration of democratic franchise - a peaceful exercise through which citizens freely choose their leaders without intimidation, harassment, or coercion. Resorting to threats of force or disruption undermines the integrity of our electoral process, disrespects the electorate, and threatens the fragile peace of the state.

I therefore respectfully demand that Senator Fadahunsi retract these harmful statements and tender an apology to the peaceful people of Osun State.

All political leaders, stakeholders, and party loyalists across party lines must exercise the utmost restraint, moderate their language, and recommit themselves to peace and democratic decorum.

The relevant security agencies must closely monitor inflammatory statements and ensure equal protection for all citizens, election officials, and voters before, during, and after the polls.

The democratic mandate belongs to the people, and no individual, regardless of status or political office, should attempt to subvert the will of the people through fear or coercion.

I urge the good people of Osun State to remain calm, peaceful, and resolute as they exercise their constitutional civic duty at the polls.

Getting elections right is a necessary step towards a New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO

This was a statement by Senator Fadahunsi now on video. Translation

"From now on, whenever you see Accord members, kill them. I authorise you to kill them. They have wives and children too. This is a Federal Government election. On election day, even if they come with voters card, we wont allow them to vote" - Senator Francis Ade Fadahunsi, Senator representing Osun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly a whole sitting senator !!

I just learned this morning that Bryan Eze qualified for the International Economics Olympiad in China to represent Nigeria, but the Ministry of Education said that there is no money to sponsor him.

They approached the Ebonyi State Government for support and the government said that they are not interested. So he missed it.

I became curious after he won the Sterling Bank National Online Maths Quiz yesterday.

This is heartbreaking.

For perspective, I know Bishop Adegbite right from when I was Secretary of CAN strategy and political committee. He has always been a very strong and open supporter of candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu. During the 2023 presidential election, he was one of CAN officials who openly supported Tinubu’s campaign. The secretary of CAN later became a member of Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council. They did not hide their partisanship.

This information does not make him a liar or a bad person. It just makes him partisan (which is not a bad or unusual thing considering he is now a political appointee of President Tinubu).

So, this is not your neutral voice. This is a fully-paid up supporter of President Tinubu

When John Cardinal Onaiyekan completed High School at Mount St. Michael's Secondary School in Aliade (now Benue State) in 1962, he graduated as the absolute best graduating student in all of the old Northern Region (19 States & the FCT).

Today, he is set upon by hirelings of a man who is more comfortable in the company of #FakeBishops than with the real ones & who cannot say what primary or secondary school he went to.

Uzere Kingdom is in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta. It is the second town crude oil was found in commercial quantities after Olobiri. Exploration and Exploration for oil has been going on in the community for several decades.

On the 24th day of June, 2026 Well No.14 in OML 30 which is situate in Uzere and operated by Heritage Energy Operational Services Ltd, collapsed and crude oil mixed with natural gas and water have been vomiting and spreading on the ecosystem in Uzere unabated.

The reported collapse of Well 14 in OML 30, which has swallowed the Christmas tree and resulted in the uncontrolled discharge of crude oil and natural gas, represents a serious environmental and public safety emergency. Such an incident poses significant threat to the ecosystem, biodiversity, public health, livelihoods and socioeconomic wellbeing of the Uzere community. If left uncontrolled, the effects can persist for many years, causing irreversible environmental degradation and substantial economic losses.

Environmental impact:
One of the immediate consequences of an uncontrolled well blowout is wide spread environmental pollution. Continuous discharge of crude oil contaminates rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, agricultural lands and groundwater. Oil forms a film on the surface of the water bodies, reducing oxygen exchange and threatening aquatic organisms. Fishes and other aquatic species may die of suffocation, toxicity or habitat destruction. The release of natural gas further escalates air pollution. Volatile organic compounds released into the atmosphere can reduce the air quality and may contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Residents living near the affected area may also be exposed to potentially harmful air pollutants. Contamination of soils can significantly reduce soil fertility, making farmlands unsuitable for crop production. These are some of the hazards Uzere is facing right now.

Impact on biodiversity:
The ecosystems surrounding Uzere support a variety of plants and animals species. An uncontrolled spill like the one we have currently, threatens these habitats by coating vegetation with crude oil, impairing photosynthesis, and causing plants to die. Wildlife may suffer from poisoning, loss of food sources and habitat destruction and reduced reproductive success. Wetlands that serve as breeding grounds for fishes and other aquatic organisms are particularly vulnerable. Damages to these sensitive ecosystem can lead to long-term decline of biodiversity and disrupt ecological balance.

Public Health Concerns:
The continuous release of crude oil and gas poses a serious health risks to residents of Uzere and neighboring communities. Exposure to contaminated water, polluted air and toxic hydrocarbons increases the incidence of respiratory illnesses, skin irritation, eye problem, headaches and nausea, and other health complications.

Economic Impact:
The economy of Uzere depends heavily on agriculture, fishing and small scale trading. Oil contamination of farmlands reduces crop yields and destroy harvests, resulting in income losses for farmers. Similarly polluted water bodies can lead to declining fish populations, negatively affecting fishermen and fish traders. Businesses that rely on clean water and environment, May experience reduced productivity.

Social Impact:
Environmental disaster such as this would distort the social fabrics of Uzere and loss of livelihoods may increase poverty, unemployment, food insecurity, and migration. Uzere people would experience psychological stress, anxiety and uncertainty regarding our future, health and economic security.

Safety Risks:
The uncontrolled release of natural gas in Well 14 may create a risk of fire or explosion around the affected place.

Long Term Ecological Consequences:
Even after the well is successfully controlled, it may take many years for environmental restoration to be achieved. Oil residues can remain in the soil and sediment
