The Commendable Act of Nigerian Artists at the World Cup

Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup, as I previously stated, stems not from a lack of talent but from a conspicuous deficiency in political leadership that has failed to create an enabling environment for talent development.

This assertion is underscored by two notable occurrences during the tournament: the vibrant participation and impressive performances of Nigerian artists, and the presence of numerous Nigerians representing other nations on the field. These observations present a significant imperative for Nigeria’s political leaders to actively foster an environment in which the nation’s youth can fully realize their potential.

Furthermore, Davido’s impactful gesture in drawing global attention to Nigeria’s security challenges warrants commendation. He prominently displayed the names of schoolchildren who had been held captive for an extended period, advocating for their safe return. By utilizing his international platform, Davido effectively highlighted Nigeria’s security crisis, transcending mere entertainment. He appeared in a custom black leather jacket emblazoned with the message “BRING THEM HOME,” accented with green buttons bearing the names of 39 schoolchildren and 7 teachers recently abducted by bandits in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The pervasive insecurity in Nigeria merits international scrutiny, particularly given the government’s apparent inability to effectively address the situation. Nevertheless, the prospect of a revitalized Nigeria remains achievable. -PO

Insecurity: Nigeria Cannot Continue Like This

I received with deep shock and sadness the tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who reportedly died while in the custody of kidnappers. Earlier, before this heartbreaking news, I also received disturbing reports of renewed bandit attacks in Sokoto and Kwara States.

The armed bandits reportedly blocked a market route in Sokoto and abducted traders, while terrorists invaded communities in Kwara State, kidnapping scores of citizens and killing innocent people, are heartbreaking and alarming. These incidents are not isolated tragedies; they are clear manifestations of the deepening security crisis confronting our nation.

But particularly painful is the reported death of Major General Rabe Abubakar, a distinguished military officer who dedicated a significant part of his life to defending Nigeria and protecting its citizens. It is tragic that a man who served his fatherland with honour, rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and retired after years of meritorious service, would meet such a heartbreaking end at the hands of criminal elements. His death is a national tragedy and a sobering indictment of the insecurity that has engulfed our country.

When traders can no longer travel safely to markets, farmers cannot access their farms, communities live under constant fear, and even retired senior military officers are not spared from the menace of kidnapping and violent crime, it becomes evident that our nation is facing a grave security emergency.

Security remains the foremost responsibility of any government. Every life lost, every citizen abducted, and every community displaced represent a painful failure of our collective duty to protect the Nigerian people. The recurring attacks in Sokoto, Kwara, and many other parts of the country demonstrate that insecurity is not only persisting but spreading in both scope and intensity.

I once again urge the Federal Government and our security agencies to move beyond rhetoric and adopt a more proactive, intelligence-driven, technology-based, and coordinated approach to tackling insecurity. We must strengthen our security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, secure our borders, equip and motivate our security personnel, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are apprehended and brought to justice.

A nation where citizens live in fear cannot prosper. A nation where economic activities are disrupted daily by criminal elements cannot attract investment, create jobs, or guarantee a better future for its people. We must urgently reclaim every part of our country from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all criminal gangs threatening our collective existence.

My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar, his former colleagues in the Armed Forces, and all Nigerians who have lost loved ones to insecurity. I also sympathise with the families of those killed, those abducted, and the affected communities in Sokoto, Kwara, and across the nation.

The recurring tragedies and embarrassing security failures we continue to witness make the quest for a New Nigeria not only necessary but inevitable. We must build a nation where every citizen can live, work, travel, and pursue legitimate economic activities without fear.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

"Yesterday, we stepped out to protest against the worsening level of insecurity in the country. To my greatest surprise, President Tinubu and his supporters had rented a crowd of counter-protesters, the majority of whom were women with children at home."

Those teachers are still in captivity. Those children are still in the bush.

We hardly hear about them anymore, but I think about them often. It feels as though everyone is gradually moving on, and perhaps that’s inevitable; life must continue.

Still, there is something deeply heartbreaking about knowing that while many of us return to our routines, some families are still waiting, still hoping, and still living with uncertainty.

This is a truly sad place to be.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of retired Major-General Rabe Abubakar, in the hands of his terrorist captors in Katsina State.

After a distinguished career of service to the nation, General Abubakar deserved a peaceful retirement. His tragic passing underscores the severe and worsening state of insecurity across Nigeria.

The continued loss of both serving and retired military officers, as well as other Nigerians to terrorists has become far too frequent and must not be normalised.

I urge the relevant authorities to intensify efforts to secure the immediate and safe release of his wife, and others who remain in captivity.

My heartfelt condolences go to his family, friends, and associates. - RMK

“I’m Really Ashamed To Call Myself a Yoruba Man. Yesterday, Some Fulani Herdsmen K!dn@pped People In Abia State And Demanded a N10M Ransom. Immediately, Youths Of The Community Mobilised, Stormed The Bush And Assisted In The Search Efforts. The Victims Were Rescued Within 24Hrs. Did You Hear About It On Social Media? Meanwhile, Since The Kidnapping Of School Children And Teachers, The Youths In Ogbomoso Cannot Even Enter The Bush. As a Yoruba Man, I’m Ashamed To Be One.” ~ Man Reacts

The correct Tinubu 3 years score card, which translated to FAILURE.

See Before and After, and you also decide if this is not failure.

Yesterday, I had the honour of hosting my brother and partner, His Excellency Peter Obi, at my residence in Abuja.

I warmly welcomed him back from his highly productive international trip, and we engaged in frank and productive discussions on key partisan and national issues.

Our party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), remains united. As leaders, we must continue to demonstrate maturity by making the necessary sacrifices and tolerating our differences in pursuit of our shared goal.

We are resolute in this mission, and together, we shall ensure that Nigeria is OK. - RMK
