“Yoruba First”
Until there is crisis in a Yoruba state and you all try to twist narrative and play politics because the Governor is from another party.
Shame on all of you. Big SHAME.
But make una no worry. I will put my objectivity to rest for now and we will all play the game.
The recent events highlight the positive influence of the Yoruba people in shaping national discourse. After the Oyo kidnapping, the Yoruba community refused to stay quiet, their vocal response appears to have inspired others, teachers in the North are now protesting for their own demands as well.
This collective pressure is essential. Nigerian leaders have proven to be extremely stubborn; only consistent public agitation can force them to reflect seriously and take the necessary actions for the good of the country.
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Enough is enough. The killings, abductions of innocent Nigerians, and the unleashing of terror on our people cannot continue. These senseless killings and heinous crimes must stop.
Terror does not ask for your tribe, faith, region, or political affiliation before it strikes. Our response must be stronger than our divisions.
Today on Politics Today, I called on all Nigerians to put aside political, ethnic, and religious differences and stand united against the common enemy threatening our collective future.
Criticise what must be criticised. Demand accountability where it is due. But above all, let us stand together.

I understand that her knowledge of the matter may be limited, and of course she is expected to support her father. However, that post is simply too poorly reasoned.
The claim that Otedola wants to take over the Nestoil building makes little sense. We are talking about a debt of roughly $2 billion. The Nestoil building is nowhere near 5% of that amount.
Secondly, does she think her father owes only First Bank or Otedola? This is a syndicated loan involving multiple banks and financial institutions. At least five other lenders are involved. So the idea that Otedola can single-handedly take over the building is laughable.
And the part about Otedola learning from his father is even funnier 😂. With due respect to his father, Otedola is simply not in the same league when it comes to business. Otedola is obviously head and shoulder above Ernest.
At the end of the day, her father needs to settle the debt. There is no escaping that reality.
