Do you understand what the role of an ambassador is?
These are the sort of cretins chosen to represent us, where is your sense of diplomacy and maturity?.
Coming online to spew bile against the entity you’re supposed to interface with on our behalf on day one is a failure!
It was a great and historic morning today at the South African Presidential Guest House in Pretoria where I had the honor and privilege of presenting my letters of credence to His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa @CyrilRamaphosa, the President of the Republic of South Africa, along with Ambassadors from 14 other countries.
It was a beautiful and historic occassion which witnessed the first posting of a substantive Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Republic of South Africa in four years.
The entire event was livestreamed by @PresidencyZA (the South African Presidency) where millions of Nigerians, South Africans, Africans and members of the international community were watching in real time.
Every single one of the 15 Ambassadors that were present were introduced formally and gave a speech.
Curiously the South African Presidency refused to air the introduction of my goodself and the Nigerian delegation or to air my speech.
They went a step further by cutting us out of the livestream completely and went back on livestream only after my speech was concluded.
Of all the 15 introductions and speeches that were made and delivered this morning only Nigeria's was cut out.
I raised the issue with President Ramaphosa directly during the course of the photo session and whilst we were still on the premises and, in fairness to him, he took me to the relevant officials and acted with despatch.
Right there in my prescence he questioned them and directed them to resolve the issue immediately.
Sadly by then it was too late and Nigeria had been left out. To be clear, I repeat, we were the ONLY ones that were left out.
Clearly some elements in South Africa do not want to hear what we have to say or see our faces but we are here to stay as long as we are welcome and have the confidence of President Ramaphosa, which I am sure we do.
Luckily for us there were at least two Nigerian television stations at the event and all that I had to say was fully recorded by them and will be released to the Nigerian public.
There is also footage that will be released in which I complained directly to the President and in which he called his staff and told them what to do.
Whilst still on the premises, when offered an interview by @SABCNews
(the South African State Broadcaster), I turned them down as a consequence of the deplorable way we were treated and I told them to go and listen to my speech instead which their Presidency officials had refused to air.
One thing is clear, I have immense respect and affection for South Africa and the South African people but I will not be anywhere or tolerate anyone that disrespects or treats our Government or our people flippantly.
My thanks goes to President Ramaphosa for his concern and timely intervention.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and God bless the Republic of South Africa.

Have you ever seen a tweet that doesn't even concern you, but you immediately go to that person's profile and block them because you don’t want to see any more of their thoughts on your timeline ever again?
Tinubu has failed woefully, and that’s why we’re voting him out. If Obi wins and fails too, we will massively vote him out.
No politician deserves blind loyalty. Four years is not a joke, add four years to your current age and imagine how much of your life that is.
They said GRV was lying
Meanwhile this is a tyrant doing same in his country
Anyway; geography is destiny and you can only see as far as your mind can take you in life, I’m not even amazed they think it’s impossible
I’m in a country with those who think corruption is strategy🤣
Nou kenbe pwomès nou…

Netflix is not even buying nada from them.
Nobody is pulling down anything.
Even Africa Magic was pricing my friend's Cinema standard movie N1.5M ,when she paid the lead cast N1.5M .
That Movie dey her laptop dey chill .
A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS IN NIGERIA
The new dimension of toxic politics that Nigeria has developed since 2025,
I arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. this morning to board my flight to Enugu. There, I saw the Nigeria Under-17 girls' team, which had just arrived and was preparing to board its vehicle into town.
With genuine joy and enthusiasm, I asked my Protocol Officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether I could greet and welcome the team. I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs.
Regrettably, this is not the first time I have been subjected to such treatment. On March 25, 2025, I was in Uyo for the World Cup qualifier. The governor warmly received me and welcomed me at the VIP stand. Following the match, other government officials went to greet the players, but I was again prevented from doing so. I was told by the officials that they would lose their jobs if I proceeded.
It is deeply troubling to witness the extent of toxic politics into which our nation has descended since 2025. Each year appears to bring further deterioration. This reflects how deeply Nigeria has been affected.
The new Nigeria we aspire to build must have no room for hostility, intimidation, or discrimination, regardless of political affiliation. It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
