Father’s Day: A Time for Reflection

Today is Father’s Day. After attending church service and in my routine reflection, I find myself once again asking a difficult question: Are we cursed, or are we the cause?

I grew up in a Nigeria that was more united and peaceful. In my primary, secondary school and university days, students related freely without divisions of religion, ethnicity, or region. We simply saw ourselves as Nigerians.

After university, I entered business in an environment where partnerships were built on trust and competence, not tribe or religion. I also lived in Nigeria, where the naira commanded respect, and Nigerians enjoyed dignity abroad, with easier global mobility and much respect for our passports.

I lived in Nigeria, where I travelled across the country—from Onitsha to Lagos, Maiduguri, and Calabar—without fear. Roads connected people, and life was more secure. Nigeria’s Armed Forces and the Police were also widely respected for their role in global peacekeeping and international stability.

Beyond security and unity, there was also a stronger sense of public trust in institutions, with greater confidence in elections, a clearer culture of accountability in governance, more stable universities that served as centres of intellectual excellence and national pride, a more functional and accessible healthcare system, and relatively better-performing basic infrastructure such as electricity, roads, and public utilities, which—though imperfect—were far less chaotic than what we experience today.

Today, as a father reflecting on Nigeria, I am pained that much of this has changed. Insecurity has grown, national unity has weakened, and many citizens no longer feel safe. Opportunities have also diminished for the younger generation compared to what we once had.

It is also worrisome that Nigeria’s influence in global affairs appears reduced, as seen in recent international gatherings such as the just-concluded G7 meeting, where African countries like Egypt and Kenya were invited, while Nigeria was absent. Whether symbolic or not, it reflects a decline in standing we cannot ignore.

As fathers, we must not only lament. We must not bequeath this reality to our children. We owe them a better Nigeria built on security, opportunity, fairness, and national pride.

A key part of achieving this is active civic participation. We must obtain our Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), vote responsibly, and remain committed to protecting the integrity of our votes. Change will not come from complaints alone but from citizens who choose and defend accountable leadership.

With responsibility, unity, and determination, we can together build the new Nigeria that is POssible. -PO

Mr. Wahab,

Impact is felt, not explained in 1,578 words.

Your plastic policy has failed.

Your environmental policy, if one truly exists, has been ineffective.

Your waste management policy has been an unmitigated disaster.

The only area where you have consistently delivered is the demolition of the hard earned properties and livelihoods of ordinary citizens.

Not to mention your Bigotry and Gaslighting.

You have lost the moral authority to remain in office.

You should resign.

Today.

@Elizabethh3dh @Salmaaa_o Which work is that?

[Shadowthrone @SenatorT__]

😂 you people asking me when are funny.

Who wants to be a millionaire was a knowledge game

Cowbell maths competition was a thing

My school has “Aut Caesar Aut Nihil” the best or nothing

We grew up wanting to be better people, this decay creeped in

They’ll obviously lie if they fancy you. So just ask “where were you during the fifa worldcup in South Africa in 2010”

[Malot Omokoya @Malotonhere]

@vian337 It’s sad to say if things continue this way they will announce Bola next year and everybody will just move on as usual. When you think about it you’d want to cry.

[Malot Omokoya @Malotonhere]

@EkeneAninze Nigerian politicians are one of God’s favorites people don’t worry.

Imagine if this had been a:

Primary healthcare centre ⚕️
Power plant ⚡
Housing project for low-income citizens 🏡

Just imagine...🤔🤔🤔

[Mich @ProfMich]

Fashola didn't give all these excuses o.
Y'all like excusing incompetence and it's appalling.
You have weak enforcement, that's a weak government and you breed people misbehaving with no consequences.

[Malot Omokoya @Malotonhere]

@fiyinsiku Some people from that abroad supports APC.

[Malot Omokoya @Malotonhere]

@Byronicgyro1 @psemophile And Episode 5 I believe the long stand off shooting almost 5 minutes of non stop action if not more than that.

[Malot Omokoya @Malotonhere]

@Sol_Kal91 @psemophile Nothing is better than the raid! It’s the best in the world of fighting cinema.

[Salmat O @Salmaaa_o]

That’s the whole problem. If it costs $600m to win, then power becomes an investment and every investment needs a return. That return comes out of public funds. We don’t elect leaders, we underwrite businessmen.

The correct Tinubu 3 years score card, which translated to FAILURE.

See Before and After, and you also decide if this is not failure.

[Malot Omokoya @Malotonhere]

@JJLawrence405 @SamGorC I envy you man. I remember watching The Raid for the first time in 2014 I couldn’t believe the fight scenes it was just something so refreshing.

[TG✨🇯🇲 @TerrelleGraham]

The Raid and The Raid 2 are stone cold classics.

They’re among the most defining action films of my adolescence. Those films released with a heavy impact for me.

The Raid 2 upped the levels and is so f*cking raw, it blew my mind in 2014. Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man have lived long in my memory.

[Rosemary @Rosespring74087]

Someone said that we're complaining about the physical kidnapping of people, that many Nigerians have been kidnapped spiritually 😳 😐. That's the reason they don't think straight and continue to support evil politicians 🤔 😳 🙄.
