Buhari borrowed $1 billion loan to fund the rehabilitation of Port Harcourt Refinery.
That loan was backed by a pledge of 67,000 barrels of crude oil per day & repayment started in 2024, with maturity in June 2029.
What this means is that we are using crude oil to repay loan for a non-functional refinery till 2029.
- Where’s Buhari today?
- Where’s Port Harcourt refinery?
What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?
This question has become necessary, given where we are today as a nation and where we are supposed to be.
While completing my INEC nomination form yesterday, Section E, Question 1 caught my attention. It asks: “Have you ever been adjudged a lunatic or been declared a person of unsound mind?” The answer is either Yes or No. That question got me thinking: Can we, as the political leaders of today’s Nigeria, truly say we are exhibiting the characteristics of a sound mind?
When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abducted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from, and several billions are being siphoned frivolously through non-existent agencies and projects, should politics really be our primary preoccupation?
A sound-minded leadership would have declared these existential challenges a national emergency and immediately mobilised all relevant institutions, security agencies, experts, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to confront them with urgency and resolve. At a moment like this, the survival, security, and stability of Nigeria must take precedence over every other consideration. This is a time for decisive action, not political calculation or the pursuit of partisan advantage.
Further in the same Section E, Question 6, was: “Have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC?” Again, the answer is either Yes or No. This raises another important question: Why shouldn’t INEC, in the interest of ensuring that our leaders are exemplary in following the rules and to strengthen public confidence in our electoral process, publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office?
Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The young man handling this camera, Pelumi Onifade was later hunted and killed, for heroicly capturing this moment. These are the legacies of Nigeria at 64.

Master Chisom Unachukwu from Evergreen Schools, Enugu, will be going to Rome, Italy, next week to watch his student Victor Onwubiko compete with students from 154 other countries at the International STEM Olympiad.
The days of teachers earning their rewards only in heaven are over.
They will be rewarded here on earth. They will drive choice cars, live in mansions, travel for vacations with family, educate their children in Ivy League schools, and support their families better.
Ideally, teaching should be one of the best-paying professions in the country.
We will do our best to change the narrative as far as we can go.
Crazy that on the day @inecnigeria announced it will give access codes to political parties to upload their presidential and National Assembly candidates, a judge randomly reverses his own judgement, orders INEC to reverse its registration of NDC thereby making it impossible for them to submit their candidates.
The submission window closes in 14 days on the 11th of July.
You don't know how many times I watched & read Buhari's interviews....
I kept trying to understand what educated people were seeing that I couldn't see...
I'm still shocked....
