Bayo Onanuga said he doesn’t see hunger anywhere.
I think that’s more dangerous. This govt are no longer in tune with the realities of Nigerians.
How can you help the people if you don’t see their suffering.
Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
I feel like Haaland is a victim of his own success.
The man won another Premier League Golden Boot last season and there wasn’t much fuss about it.. Now in his first ever World Cup, scores back to back braces to drag Norway to the knockouts, and everyone just acts normal😂
If any other striker on earth did this, the internet would melt. His standards are just too high.
Delivered by C‑section from her dead mother's body. 23 years old. 'israel' bombed and killed her. Buried them under rubble. The baby girl was named after her. Doctors gave her a 50/50 chance of survival. She died 5 days later and was buried next to her mum.
Check the date.
This is why when faced with Sankara's dilemma of 'water for all or champagne for a few', smart nations always choose water for all.
Because when everyone has a solid baseline, the elite can truly thrive and become exceptional. Their "champagne" can be meaningful.
But when most people are dirt poor, the elite become stupid, mediocre bastards who cannot pave their own roads, organise their own garbage collection, and prevent their own Ikoyi from regular flooding, constant foul odour, and mosquito infestation.
Charterhouse my ass.
