Standing Up for Democracy
Today, I joined fellow Nigerians, leaders, and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by National Chairman Sen. David Mark to participate in a peaceful "Save Democracy" protest.
This event was not just an effort to protect our democracy; it was also a moment of reflection on how far we have fallen as a nation. We must resist the suffocation of our democracy by those who once claimed to have sacrificed to defend it, but are now doing everything possible to undermine it and silence opposition.
History will not be kind to those who traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power. We will not remain silent, we will not be intimidated, and we will not surrender the future of this nation. The will of the people must prevail—stronger, louder, and impossible to suppress.

“This Experience Will Not Repeat Itself” - Another Presidential Promise fails in less than 24 Hours.
Less than 24 hours after President Tinubu stood at the Jos Plateau State airport on April 2, 2026, and promised the grieving Nigerian citizens, “I promise you that this experience will not repeat itself,” another brutal attack occurred in Nyamgo Gyel, Jos South LGA, resulting in the deaths of several innocent citizens.
Since then, and only a week following that reassuring promise from the President, Nasarawa State has been plunged into grief as the Akyawa and Udege Kasa communities fled for their lives after gunmen killed at least 11 people. Many homes were reduced to ashes, and numerous families remain missing.
In Zamfara State, 150 innocent Nigerians were abducted from the Kurfa Danya and Kurfan Magaji communities in one of the largest mass kidnappings in recent times. On the same day of the Zamfara kidnappings, terrorists in Borno State stormed Chibok, killing four officers and burning down homes.
Yesterday, on Easter Sunday, Benue State was rocked by violence again, with over 17 Nigerians massacred, entire communities left in ruins, and many individuals still unaccounted for. Today, in Kaduna State, several innocent citizens were killed by terrorists inside churches, with many others abducted in the Ariko community of Kachia LGA.
Yet we were told, “This experience will not repeat itself.” This represents a failure of leadership and responsibility, and sadly, Nigerians are paying for it with their lives.
These attackers are not ghostly figures; our inaction emboldens them. How can a President make such a categorical promise and, mere hours later, the nation continues to count the dead across multiple states? The primary responsibility of any government is to protect lives and property; however, this responsibility is failing today. Nigerians are being slaughtered in their homes, in their communities, and in the very places they should feel safest. Even the President did not enter these communities, so who is truly safe in Nigeria?
This is a national emergency. Nigeria is bleeding, and the situation is worsening and increasingly helpless.

Tinubu in Jos Confirms ‘Don't Vote for Me’ Prediction on Power Supply
During the 2023 campaign, President Tinubu made a clear electoral promise: “If I don’t give you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second term.”
When he took office in 2023, Nigeria had a power supply of over 4,000 megawatts and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply is less than 4,000 megawatts on the average, and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below 30% of the African average. Africa’s average is 617kwh, Nigeria’s is 144 kWh. This means that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans.
In a glaring display of disregard for promises and a lack of trust, President Tinubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving families of the Jos attack on Thursday, April 2, 2026, stated that one of the reasons for his 10-minute stay was that the airport had no electricity. “You have no light here I fly out in ten minutes” At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it.
Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders—those lacking the capacity and compassion—who prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the people and make empty promises.

Yesterday defenders of democracy, today's destroyers, What a shame.
What an irony of history, that the acclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights who claimed to have fought for democracy during the era of General Sani Abacha now find themselves worse than the man they opposed.
Today, General Sani Abacha, once presumed face of oppression, will be remembered as seemingly more democratic and more respectful of human rights than the so-called champions of activism from the NADECO days. Power indeed reveals character.

“Either they remove subsidy or not, we will be in problem. Before they remove the subsidy, they have already shared the money”. - Pastor Tunde Bakare (Speaking at Tinubu Organized rally at Ojota)
"The Nigerian army have started a pattern, we are at war with our freedom of speech. Our security operatives are making money out of the kidnåpping issue in Nigeria. They should call the commissioner of police to answer questions. They can track people commenting on social media, but they cannot track kidnåppers." - VDM

Here’s what I’m suggesting- every citizen contacts their reps & senators with coordinated emails, phone calls and WhatsApp messages with the following -
*Dear Hon/Sen, as your constituent, i am urging you to call for a PUBLIC hearing to address the strategy to defeat terrorism, rumours of an ill-equipped military and how Nigerians will be kept safe. Please act urgently*
This will break your heart...In Plateau state, military personnel is confronted to his face on the complicity of the military in the ongoing genocide of Christians in that region. The rot goes deep.
Help is on the way
@POTUS@SecWar@RepRileyMoore@TomColeOK04@SenTedCruz@RepNancyMace
Just forget it.
All your propaganda and diplomatic efforts has been ruined with this singular video.
So, upon all the assurance there's a stronger push to unalive more Christians, gain more lands before the Donald J. Trump bombs starts to land.

This is Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe of the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi.
On February 14th, 2024, Bishop Anagbe appeared before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, testifying about the genocidal persecution of Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, particularly Benue State. He was invited again on March 12, 2025 during which the good Bishop, accompanied by reverend father Remigius Ihyula, detailed systematic massacres by ethnic Fulani jihadists against Christian farming communities, including kidnappings, church burnings, and land seizures.
According to the clergy, the number of Christians documented to have been killed by the Fulani Jihadists is over 1000 within months with over 160 Churches destroyed In the past decade and large swaths of land belonging to the Christian victims seized and currently occupied by the jihadists with no commensurate action from the govt. Bishop Anagbe told the US parliamentarians that the Nigerian govt is engaging in a “conspiracy of silence” aimed at enabling an “Islamic agenda” to Islamize the region.   
 
After Testimony, Bishop Anagbe and Father Ihyula received multiple death threats allegedly from Nigerian government sources and Islamist groups.
In April 2025, foreign embassies (including the U.S.) warned of potential arrest upon his return to Nigeria.      The Nigerian Foreign Ministry denied involvement
but promised investigations.
On May 24–26, 2025: Fulani Jihadists attacked Bishop Anagbe’s home village - Aondona - killing not less than 42 people (some sources placed the casualty figure at over 70) and displacing hundreds. This was described by many as reprisal for his testimony at the US Congress
      
On June 1–13, 2025, further coordinated attacks by ethnic Fulani Jihadists in Gwer West and Apa counties including Yelwata (near Makurdi) left over 300 men, women and children butchered with most of the victims burnt alive. This was even as the communities alerted the security agencies of the impending attacks weeks before it happened. Many of you would remember that the Bola Tinubu govt and her agents actually tried to play down the Yelwata massacre until activist Verydarkblackman went to the venue to bring the gory images of the victims to social media.
During the last Lent/Holy Week, over 92 Christians were massacred in the same Benue.
Please note that the govt headed by a muslim president and a muslim vice president has not prosecuted any known Fulani jihadist for any of these genocidal attacks. Most shocking is the fact that after similar attacks in Jos which left over 271 Christians dead, the leader of the Fulani jihadists called a Press Conference where he was shown in a video shared by Tvcnewsng, a television station owned by @officialABAT, giving conditions that must be met before they stop killing innocent people. One of the conditions he gave was the removal of a senior military commander in charge of keeping peace in Plateau. (I will share the video in the comment section ) As I type, that particular commander is no longer in his position. Your govt yielded to the demand of the jihadist.
I challenge anyone to fact-check everything I have written here.
THERE IS CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE GOING ON IN NIGERIA and the govt is complicit. The whataboutism of some Muslims being affected does not vitiate this fact because even those muslim victims were killed by fellow Muslims and there is no record of a any Muslim community being targeted the way it has been happening in southern kaduna, Benue and other parts of the Middle Belt
Say you live in Plateau. You’re 25.
And for the past 10 years (just for example) you have seen communities big and small, get attacked by people screaming “Allahu Akbar” & speaking Hausa & Fula.
These communities get WIPED out. At best, driven off their land.
You see pastors
Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, says former President Jonathan didn't remove fuel subsidy due to Boko Haram
Sanusi said: If Nigerians had allowed Jonathan to remove subsidy in 2011, there would have been pain, but it'd have been a tiny fraction of what we're facing today...But people like my friend, Kayode Fayemi and his APC friends came out on the streets to say we couldn't do it.
I even called one of my closest friends at that time and told him,'You know we're doing the right thing', but he replied that he was in opposition and his job was to make the government look bad.
The only reason Jonathan compromised at that time was because of Boko Haram. There were thousands of Nigerians protesting in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, and we had suicide bombers in the country, and there was a fear of terrorists blowing up any of the protest venues and we have 200 corpses. It will no longer be about subsidy, and you have to give Jonathan the credit. He was determined to do it, but he had to compromise to save Nigerians' lives.
