Check out the professional manner with which Ojy Okpe & Rufai Oseni handled the US Congressman’s call to #FreeNnamdiKanu. They deftly zeroed-in on the core issue: Selective injustice when it comes to the IGBO. To be sure, this matter is never going away until justice is served.
“I apologise to the Igbos so that we can put the past behind us and continue to foster unity. We have become one family because our people were deceived into going to war, and we regret it. We must close that chapter and move forward.” - Mutfwang, Plateau Governor.
As the feud between Peter Obi and Dave Umahi escalates, Dr Obiaraeri takes it up from an interesting angle that brought new dimensions to the discourse. What do you think?
Suspension of Examination Fees: A Victory for the People
I received the welcome news of the suspension of the newly introduced examination fees with relief. This is a victory for the Nigerian people.
While I commend the authorities for listening to the widespread public outcry and suspending the policy, it must be said that the fee was an unnecessary burden that should never have been introduced at this time of great hardship, when we should be doing everything possible to invest in basic education and reduce the millions of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
At a time when many families are struggling to make ends meet, access to education should be expanded, not restricted. Education is a fundamental right and a public good, not a source of government revenue.
Imposing multiple fees at the basic education level risks denying many children their right to education. At that stage, the State has a duty to invest in educating and preparing its citizens for productive lives, not to erect financial barriers that keep them out of school.
True leadership is demonstrated not only by making decisions but also by having the humility to reverse policies that impose unnecessary hardship on the people. Many other anti-people policies deserve similar reconsideration.
I thank the citizens, parents, and advocacy groups whose voices made this reversal possible.
A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO
IGP Disu and @PoliceNG should look into this video, reportedly of a Delta community chairman flogging an adult male over his criticism of an abandoned NDDC project. If verified, arrest & aggressive prosecution should ensue. We can’t continue like this. Credit: SaharaReporters.
BREAKING: A new group (Igbos & Descendants in Diaspora - IDD) has been formed for the specific purpose of SELF DEFENSE of Igboland. Calls on Igbo youths to join Igboland Community Vigilante.
The American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID) announces its upcoming 2026 convention in USA. If you’re interested, message me or contact AVID for the FREE invitation to process your US visa, early enough.
This video never gets old & here’s why: What the Sardauna of Sokoto said here about Ndigbo is how northerners/other Nigerians view the Igbo & which led to the Igbo problem in Nigeria. So, I ask: Why do you still want Igbos in Nigeria if you fear & distrust them so much?
The UN just released a report from a twelve-day Nigeria "investigation" by its Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief. Finding: no evidence of religious persecution.
One detail sets the table: the Rapporteur was there at the invitation of the Nigerian government.
The Rapporteur's reasoning: she did not see a direct government order to kill Christians. No instruction from Abuja, up and down the chain of command, ordering one religious group destroyed. Therefore — not genocide. Not persecution. Move along.
The problem is, that is NOT the legal standard. That is a red herring. Disgusting.
In 1994, Hutu militias — not the Rwandan military, not a government chain of command — killed 800,000 Tutsi in 100 days. The International Criminal Tribunal ruled it genocide. The killers didn't have government memos in their pockets. They had machetes and a mission. Intent to destroy a group is the standard. Not a signed order.
The Rapporteur, Prof. Nazila Ghanea, holds a chair in international human rights law at Oxford University. She knows the legal standard for religious persecution and genocide. She chose intentionally to kick up dust with a false argument to justify her obviously pre-determined conclusion. That's not an investigation, it's a whitewash. This should be a crime.
Here's what her twelve-day investigation looked like. She went to Abuja, Jos, and Kano — cities. Not to Barkin Ladi, not Benue, not Taraba or Southern Kaduna, not Gwoza, where the massacres continue. Her own statement confirmed her activities were "limited to Kano and Plateau states." She met with government officials and "religious leaders." In Nigeria that means she sat with the apparatus running the cover-up and took notes.
In her own words, she acknowledged that "at the village and hamlet levels in particular concentrations of the country, scores of innocent people experience killings, mass violence and the total decimation of their livelihoods, time and again, witnessing little or no justice." She acknowledged the scale of killings "could qualify as genocide." Her own senior legal experts told her directly they "cannot say that genocide is not happening anywhere in Nigeria."
Then she issued a report saying there is no evidence of religious persecution.
Prior to her trip, the European Centre for Law and Justice, Genocide Watch, and 21Wilberforce each submitted documented evidence of anti-Christian massacres for her consideration. She came home and said there's nothing to see.
Lying to hide the genocide is nothing new for the UN. I build schools in displacement camps in Abuja. The UNHCR wrote a detailed report about those camps in 2015. When I contacted them in 2020, they officially denied the camps exist. But they do, and the victims are still there.
More than 185,000 Christians and non-jihadist Muslims have been killed since 2009. More than 20,000 churches burned. Twelve million driven from their homes.
And the UN just handed Nigeria a clean bill of health.
The only certain conclusion from the report is that the UN Rapporteur is either corrupt, complicit, or a complete ignoramus. And her Oxford position likely rules out ignoramus.
The United Nations is not a neutral observer in Nigeria's genocide. It is a participant in covering it up.

It seems to me that some people believe that Ndigbo have moved on from the humiliation & injustice of confiscating their properties & handing them a mere £20 at the end of the Civil War. Well, hear this: Ndigbo will NEVER move on until these injustices (plus more) are redressed.
