Where’s the Nigerian data protection commission in all

Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has warned young Nigerians against falling for narratives that exploit ethnicity, religion, and identity ahead of the 2027 elections. In an open letter shared via his X handle on Wednesday, Mr Obi said the Nigeria of the future can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided and instead prioritise competence, governance, and national development. https://t.co/fIPrKDCl8e

I've seen all the criticism of Peter Obi and it's clear people don't understand the man and the kind of politics he aspires to. If Obi is a "good" politician in the dirty politics that pervades Nigeria we should be very worried. I'm backing PO all the way. Nigeria will be OK!

We need a mindset change. Our electioneering process is not it at all.

We need a recalibration.

Todays makes it 21 days those kids are still held in the forest. Kids aged 2-5 held in the forest without their parents for the past 21 days and the Government is way too busy “Politicking”

What happened to our conscience as human beings?

[Shehu Gazali Sadiq @Rejoice_inlife]

INEC is deleting names of non APC voters from their voter register, thereby disenfranchising Nigerians in order to rig the 2027 elections for Tinubu. The opposition must challenge this crime ASAP.

[Inibehe Effiong @InibeheEffiong]

The integrity of this coming election can’t be guaranteed.

Prof. Amupitan has not gained the trust of Nigerians.

[Manjul Vic🦅 @VictorManjul]

Nigerians we are on our own

[Harrison Iyere @HarrisonIyere1]

@firstladyship EYE-NEC keeps pressing harder on the neck of democracy, and we’re expected to carry on as if nothing is wrong. Nigerians may soon have no choice but to hit the streets and make their voices heard. No electoral integrity, no 2027 election. End of story.

[Abu Amir @SadiqMaunde]

Tinubu, rice

Atiku, dollars

Obi, donations to schools

Kwankwaso, rolling out scholarships to children of the poor.

If you like, no vote wisely.

Reported demands made by the terrorists who kidnapped children and teachers in Oyo state:

1. ₦1 billion to be paid into an account in the Benin Republic.
2. Release of terrorists currently held in Agodi and Abolongo Prisons.
3. Two Hilux vehicles.
4. Amendment of Oyo State laws to enforce and introduce sharia law.

For those of you who continue to make excuses for terrorists, who refer to terrorists as your brothers and who applaud this lunatic government when they release these barbaric murderers back into society, please be aware that you will eventually be ruined by this same satanic ideology you endorse.

GOV. OTTI UNVEILS INSURANCE PENETRATION INITIATIVE IN ABIA, CHARGES STAKEHOLDERS TO DRIVE DESIRED OUTCOMES.

Abia State Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, has unveiled the Insurance Penetration Initiative in Abia, championed by the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB), aimed at taking insurance awareness and services closer to the people.

Speaking on Tuesday, June 2nd, at the Michael Okpara Auditorium, Umuahia, during the unveiling of the initiative at the 2026 Chief Executive Officers' Retreat of the NCRIB, Governor Otti commended the decision to use Abia State as the project pilot. He described the retreat as a significant gathering that would help shape the future of the insurance industry in Nigeria.

Delivering a keynote address titled, "A Resilient Support System," Governor Otti challenged stakeholders in the insurance sector to take deliberate actions that would produce the results they desire for the industry.

The State Chief Executive emphasized the need for operators to embrace and deploy technology to enhance insurance services and expand access to insurance products. The Governor also urged industry leaders to leverage the stable and enabling environment in Abia State to develop innovative strategies that would deepen insurance penetration across Nigeria.

Governor Otti noted that increasing public awareness, building trust, and making insurance products more accessible are critical to achieving greater participation in the sector and ensuring long-term economic security for the citizens.

"The central theme of my message, however, is that we now have to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and do whatever needs to be done to drive the outcomes that we seek as stakeholders. Evidently, the only way forward is up. The good thing, however, is that the odds are now in your favour following landmark legislations that strengthen the hands of stakeholders, especially consumers, a new leadership team that is determined to change the status quo and a long list of new markets and opportunities to exploit across the country.

"The assignment for us in Umuahia is to take advantage of the serenity that the environment provides to draw up strategies that would deepen insurance penetration in every part of the country." Gov. Otti stated.

The State Chief Executive reiterated that his administration is ready to provide all the necessary support required to achieve the vision. He emphasized the need to develop a robust framework for implementation and called for effective information sharing among stakeholders.

"I would also want the NCRIB leadership team to explore partnership opportunities with all the public and private tertiary institutions in the State. A framework should be developed to identify the number of young insurance ambassadors that can be trained and deployed to the communities and markets in the months ahead

"People need to know what they stand to benefit by buying insurance covers for themselves, loved ones, businesses and of course, whatever possession they consider dear as we see in other parts of the world.

"The changes that we seek will not happen by mere wish. All hands have to be on deck to bring our people to a new awareness of the opportunities and protection that exist in the industry," Gov. Otti stated.

Governor Otti disclosed that he has directed the Abia Leadership Academy to incorporate insurance - related studies into its 2026 training programmes for young people, to enable them gain a better understanding and appreciation of insurance and its benefits.

While appreciating the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) for selecting Abia as the pilot State for the Insurance Penetration Initiative and for hosting its annual retreat in the State. The Governor commended the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) for the ongoing reforms in the insurance industry. He also praised the President of the NCRIB for her dedication and leadership.

Governor Otti noted that the presence and active participation of the Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer of NAICOM throughout the retreat underscored the Commission's commitment to providing strong institutional support for the growth and development of the insurance industry.

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission, Mr. Olusegun Ayo Omosehin, stated that insurance is for everyone and emphasized that the economic strength of any nation is sustained by the resilience and stability that insurance provides.

Mr. Omosehin commended the NCRIB for choosing Abia State as the pilot state for the initiative. He noted that Aba is renowned for its industrial and entrepreneurial spirit and lauded Governor Otti for his transformative developmental strides and for creating a conducive environment for businesses and investment in the State.

He therefore encouraged investors to take advantage of the opportunities available in Abia State and invest in the State's growing economy.

"So, I'm calling on investors across the globe to find a ready place in Abia State. The State is ready, it's mature, and the environment is right for investment.

"To this extent, the insurance industry will be behind you to provide all the necessary resilience. At the National Insurance, we are totally committed to making insurance accessible, reliable and understandable to every Nigerian," Omosehin stated.

He charged the insurers to ensure that the message of insurance to the people of the State is simple and practical as well as people-centred.

Earlier, the President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers, Mrs Ekeoma Ezeibe, stated that the retreat was designed to address Nigeria's low insurance coverage, particularly, within the informal sector, where insurance penetration remains significantly limited. She emphasized the need for urgent and innovative interventions to expand access to insurance services and deepen public awareness.

Mrs. Ezeibe explained that the 2026 CEOs Retreat, themed "Leading with Innovation," brings together insurance executives, regulators, and key industry stakeholders to examine practical strategies for strengthening leadership, enhancing collaboration, and accelerating insurance penetration across Nigeria.

She also commended Alex Otti for his administration's support of the insurance industry and its commitment to creating an enabling environment for economic growth, investment, and insurance development in the State.

The retreat attracted the presence of the the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba, Senator Darlington Nwokocha, Commissioners and other top government officials, stakeholders from the insurance industry among others.

So these kids will walk hundreds of kilometers in the thick forest under the rain and sun and without food? Little children? My spirit is breaking.

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

If there is election in a state, IGP will deploy 30,000 men to that state.

Teachers and Children were kidnapped, no such deployment or fierce effort to retrieve the children.

Elections are more important to these men than our well-being.

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
