Why does the President hardly ever address the nation despite the relentless insurgency, kidnappings, and insecurity that Nigerians face every day?
People are being killed. Children are being abducted. Communities are living in fear.
In many countries, leaders speak directly to their citizens during moments of crisis to reassure them, explain actions being taken, and show that they understand the pain of the people.
The silence is becoming as disturbing as the insecurity itself.
Are Nigerians not human beings?
Côte d’Ivoire and football.
Those two belong together.
A team built on resilience.
A team ready for the world’s biggest stage.
Yamoussoukro behind you.
Africa behind you.
We travel together.
Take Africa to the #FIFAWorldCup, Côte d’Ivoire. 🇨🇮

Husband told his wife that the cloth she’s wearing is too revealing and she changed it immediately to another one. She got to the even and her friends noticed her own cloth is different from the other, she explained that her husband does not like the style so she had to change. They all understood.
After the gathering, one of them who is a single mother of three due to divorce started messaging her that she’s letting her husband control her life and she shouldn’t be a slave to any man bla bla bla.
She blocked her immediately before she sends further messages.
As a Muslim, do you think the best day to advocate for Shariah law is the same day terrorists demanded for it while holding our children hostage?
Can you not see how that looks? Take a second, pause and see how that looks.
I personally want Obi as Nigeria’s president so people can see that you can be upright, be respectful, be a Nigerian, be law-abiding, have no criminal case and still win in Nigeria. Obi’s presidency is good for Nigeria’s moral compass.
Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.
As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.
I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.
Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.
We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.
Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.
A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.
A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO
I extend my deepest sympathies to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). The relentless increase in insecurity nationwide continues to inflict severe hardship on frontline workers. Regrettably, this alarming lapse in governance is being eclipsed by prevailing political machinations.
I wish to express my condolences to the FRSC operatives in Kebbi State following the heinous murder of their colleagues. Furthermore, I unequivocally condemn this act, which exacerbates the profound and unacceptable threats to our nation's stability.
We must elevate the sanctity of human life to a paramount position within our national agenda. -PO
Bola Tinubu and Remi Tinubu are a perfect illustration of what it means to marry one’s type.
A vicious couple bonded by destructive and greedy proclivities.
Zero empathy.
All they care about is political power and total state capture.
When will this nightmare end in our country?
INEC Database Breach Is Beyond Emeka Ike, It’s A National Issue- Osoma
This issue goes beyond Emeka Ike as an individual. Even if an apology is offered, it is not just about him, it is a broader political and national concern. Any voter can reasonably ask, if this is what has happened in this case, how secure is our personal data in the hands of INEC? The real issue is the protection of INEC’s database and the integrity of the system safeguarding sensitive voter information. INEC must do more to demonstrate that this data is secure, and where individuals are found guilty of wrongdoing, they should be properly investigated and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent and send a clear message to anyone who may attempt to compromise such information.

“Shariah law is for Muslims alone, it doesn’t concern non Muslims”.
But after you are done cutting the hand of my cousin that’s a Muslim for drawing a tattoo, you will now leave him for me and family that’s non-Muslim to be the one taking is responsibility and liability. Ko jo.
No Shariah in Yorubaland.
