Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
I will never understand this. I love money but no be everything be business.

If the story is legit, all you need do is use your voice to seek help instead of collecting from a broken family.
What kind of shit is this?
Three Kids Lead Newburgh Heights Police on Car Chase After Learning to Steal Vehicles on YouTube, Crash Into Home
Newly released bodycam footage showing three children — ages 8, 11, and 12 — being caught after stealing a vehicle and leading Newburgh Heights police on a high-speed chase Saturday before crashing into a home.
Police say the car reached speeds of 60–80 mph before the driver lost control and slammed into the house. After the crash, the children ran but were quickly taken into custody.
Investigators say the kids told officers they learned how to steal cars by watching YouTube tutorials.
No one was injured, and the home sustained only minor damage.
The 11-year-old driver is charged with receiving stolen property and failure to comply, both fourth-degree felonies. The 12-year-old faces a charge of receiving stolen property. The 8-year-old is not expected to be charged due to age.
All three were released to their parents and are expected to appear in juvenile court.

It was confirmed that Winnie’s beast of a father is still a Lecturer.
Now I want to know if he’s still a Knight, cos I saw a photo of him dressed in The Knight of Saint John attire.
I hope the Catholic diocese of Benue has taken him off that title or should we start calling them out too!!!?
