Worsening Leadership Crisis in the Country Now Evident

The ultimate cost of uncompassionate leadership, as evident in the country today, is turning citizens’ frustration into deep, volatile resentment. It is even more traumatising when the leader presiding over that collapse demonstrates clear incapacity and a lack of compassion.

The government and people of Oyo State, more than 50 days after the abduction of the schoolchildren without any tangible effort toward their rescue, should rightly feel bitter and abandoned.

Since this unfortunate incident, I have spoken publicly about it twice, including appealing directly to the kidnappers to release the children. I also called the Governor twice to assure him of my solidarity, understanding that this issue is not just an Oyo problem but a Nigerian tragedy.

On Friday, July 3, I decided to travel to Ibadan with Prof. Pat Utomi to express solidarity with the Governor, as more than 50 days had elapsed without the rescue of the children and with numerous others still being held captive across the country.

During our two-hour meeting, I shared my experience in addressing insecurity as Governor of Anambra State. I recalled how President Olusegun Obasanjo, and later Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, would personally call us several times whenever we faced major security challenges.

But, to my utmost shock, I discovered that, contrary to my assumption that they had been in regular communication over the matter, Governor Seyi Makinde had not received a single call from President Bola Tinubu.

I remember the only case of a school kidnapping during President Goodluck Jonathan’s era - the Chibok girls. It drew local and international attention. Even though the security agencies provided almost daily updates on their efforts, Nigerians and the rest of the world were outraged that it took President Jonathan over two weeks to call the then State chief Executive.

I vividly recall that the current President, Bola Tinubu, led a team of vocal critics who called for President Jonathan’s immediate resignation over the incident, citing his delay in calling the state governor. That call for IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION should actually be the case in this matter.

Today, under President Tinubu, there have been more than 13 school kidnappings, yet the President has found it difficult to call the affected state’s chief executive after more than 50 days (over 7 weeks). This is outrageous. I suspect the same may also have been the case in other school kidnapping incidents.

I cannot imagine any issue more important than the lives of our kidnapped children, their teachers, and the many other Nigerians being held captive across the country. It is now an indisputable fact that governance has completely collapsed under this administration.

The situation reflects a total lack of capacity and compassion, compounded by glaring insensitivity.

Amid such an apparent display of incompetence, the President should either resign or, at the very least, abstain from seeking re-election for the sake of our dear country. This call is patriotic, not political. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.

The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.

N8.83 trillion is as follows:

1.About 2% of our GDP.

2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.

https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).

If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.

This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.

This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.

A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Every developed nation first became an education superpower before becoming an economic superpower.

Education is not another sector.

Education is the operating system of a nation.

Everything else runs on it.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Today in Rome, I could see different government delegates from other countries, including China and Singapore, right here to support their students for International STEM Olympiad.

No single government delegate from Nigeria.

Is this how much our government abhors education?

“All this prosperity we are always praying for in church is rooted in ignorance. The fact remains that when jobs become widely available in Africa, many pastors will lose their ministries. Africa has created its own brand of faith, and we are selling it while people keep buying it. The danger is that those taking advantage of us are the wealthiest people.”

A working Nigeria is a threat to 95% of Nigerian pastors.

A working system is a threat to their crusade and their fake prophets.

Lagos is sinking and fast. Suffering severe floods, weakened infrastructure, and risky urban projects, the city could be underwater by 2100 if urgent action isn’t taken.

Is Lagos doomed? Science says yes.

In the USA,
President Trump wanted to remove birth citizenship. The matter went to the country’s Supreme Court and the judges ruled against the wishes of the president.

In Nigeria,
The judiciary is in the pocket of the executive and the head of the useless rubber-stamp senate wears the president’s logo on his cap like a demented buffoon.

He also said, "all your family members who do not attend this church will come to you to beg for food," and the sheep there all chorused, "AMEN!"

Not one person said, "Wait a minute. This can't be right."

Just drones chanting "Four legs good, two legs better."

Because they want to be lord over other Christians and over their own family members.

A cult of larps and idol (read: man) worshippers.

The other day i was arguing with someone about how books like 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' are foolish to Nigerians at large.

One of the points i raised was that financial literacy cannot cover for systemic failures.

This is a prime example of the statement: “you cannot out-hustle a bad system.”

Imagine a loan was taken for this.

I’m not sure Pastor Adeboye understands that the Commander in Chief can hire and fire his subordinates in the military for incompetency and a poor showing.

The bulk stops at the President’s desk. He takes full responsibility. That’s the point of being a Commander in Chief.

Pastor Adeboye cannot absolve the President from the insecurity going on in the country.

There’s something very Devilish about A General Overseer trying to gaslight an Entire Nation on Camera. That video scared me Deep in my Spirit. Something Very Dark & Evil is Going on In Nigeria & Heaven seems to Have Abandoned us to our Fate. These Occurrences are Not Natural. 🤐

Jsyk, cutting people off because they support Tinubu is very valid.

[MAYOR KACHALLA @MayorOfNasarawa]

Have you heard what is happening inside Tinubu's Presidency?

Are you even aware that someone is publicly claiming he paid ₦600 million just to be appointed to head a federal agency?

No, this is not a movie.

According to Prince Adeyemi, he paid ₦400 million upfront and was expected to pay another ₦200 million later.

But that's not even the biggest part of the story.

He says the real trouble started when he refused to part with 48 percent of a ₦24 billion take-off grant meant for the agency he was appointed to head.

Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, these are his allegations. The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has denied any connection with the agency altogether.

And that is exactly where this story becomes unbelievable.

The Chief of Staff says the agency does not exist.

Prince Adeyemi says it does.

Not only that, he says it has over ₦1 billion in the Appropriation Act, over 300 approved staff by the head of service of the federation, and even accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Now tell me...

If the agency does not exist, who inserted its budget into the Appropriation Act?

Who approved over 300 staff?

Who processed the files?

Who opened the accounts?

Or are all these claims completely fabricated?

On the other hand, if the agency truly exists, then why is the Presidency denying its existence?

Can you see why this matter cannot simply be dismissed?

Somebody is not telling Nigerians the truth.

Personally, I am less interested in the drama than in the documents.

Produce the appointment letter.

Produce the budget.

Produce the payroll.

Produce the CBN records.

Produce the evidence of the alleged payments, if they exist.

Let Nigerians see who is lying.

Because if a man can wake up one morning and falsely accuse the Chief of Staff to the President of collecting ₦600 million and demanding a share of ₦24 billion, then that is a national scandal.

And if he is telling the truth...

Then that is an even bigger national scandal.

Either way, this matter deserves much more than a press statement.

Nigerians deserve answers.
