@ColinUdoh I read your tweets up to the 2nd paragraph , I had to recheck your name again ; I then saw the 3rd with your comment about SA and it always consistent with your opinion about SA.
Totally agree, SA is not football nation in the right sense of the word.
Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.
When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.
Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.
Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.
We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.
I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.
To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Heavily armed bandits handed over the body of General Rabe yesterday morning in Katsina and left for neighboring forest 🌳 of Matazu , unchallenged !
What a country ???
In our mosque earlier today, the imam said that we should pray for Nigeria, that only prayers can salvage this nation.
One person at the last row stood up & said “the Saudi that we go for hajj & enjoy basic amenities there, they didn’t achieve that by prayers. They achieve that by competent leadership.”
😊😊😊
I have met a lot of people that voted BAT the last time who will be voting Peter Obi next year.
I have also met a lot of first timers and people who didn’t vote last time that will vote this time because they are voting for Peter Obi. Their reason is that BAT has been an incompetent failure after all his promises and shouting “Emi Lokan” in 2023 and they consider Peter Obi the best and only credible option.
I haven't met any true Peter Obi supporter that is now supporting BAT or any other candidate(this is my reality)
I believe this administration hasn't lived up to the hype by its agents, supporters & ministers but I cannot deny that it's been the worst ever we have seen to date.
And anyone currently supporting them is delusional. That this administration has made propaganda and corruption their trademark is evident in all the arms and institutions of government. Alex Otti has shown that governance is truly not rocket science by adopting the Peter Obi model, and while BAT has failed woefully in 3 years he has excelled amazingly. It is now obvious to all that Peter Obi is the only one who can turn around the fortunes of Nigeria.
Retired army general buried after dying in bandits’ captivity
The remains of Rabe Abubakar, the retired major general who died in captivity, have been laid to rest at the Gidan Dawa Cemetery in Katsina state.
According to NAN, the burial, conducted according to Islamic rites, took place at about 6:45pm on Saturday, shortly after the release of his remains by the bandits.

If a retired American General is kidnapped anywhere in the world, it will be Guns blazing, and that General must be released in less than 24 hours.
If the General dies in captivity, that country, the kidnappers, the people will know and feel what missile rain looks like.
But in Nigeria a retired General was kidnapped inside the country by terrorist without any action. After two weeks in kidnappers den, he eventually died in captivity.
We have a president, his name is Tinubu. On his mandate we shall 😭😭
We're witnessing unprecedented levels of stupidity and sycophancy.
It's not only cynical, but also evil to continue to intentionally ignore the destruction brought upon Nigerians just to score points for your slavemaster.
Again, you're a fool.
Do you realise you don't have to be Christine Lagarde to run a country? I mean you could have a core and that could be finance/economy but you don't need a PhD level knowledge of it. As long as you're not on Buhari's level, and you have a sound economic team, you'll be fine.

If Peter Obi announces his retirement from politics today. In 2 weeks max unemployment increases by 3% at least. That's the entire populace being paid to support BAT online and offline. They all become useless. Peter Obi is the only reason for BAT's crazy election budget.🤷♂️
Insecurity: Nigeria Cannot Continue Like This
I received with deep shock and sadness the tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who reportedly died while in the custody of kidnappers. Earlier, before this heartbreaking news, I also received disturbing reports of renewed bandit attacks in Sokoto and Kwara States.
The armed bandits reportedly blocked a market route in Sokoto and abducted traders, while terrorists invaded communities in Kwara State, kidnapping scores of citizens and killing innocent people, are heartbreaking and alarming. These incidents are not isolated tragedies; they are clear manifestations of the deepening security crisis confronting our nation.
But particularly painful is the reported death of Major General Rabe Abubakar, a distinguished military officer who dedicated a significant part of his life to defending Nigeria and protecting its citizens. It is tragic that a man who served his fatherland with honour, rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and retired after years of meritorious service, would meet such a heartbreaking end at the hands of criminal elements. His death is a national tragedy and a sobering indictment of the insecurity that has engulfed our country.
When traders can no longer travel safely to markets, farmers cannot access their farms, communities live under constant fear, and even retired senior military officers are not spared from the menace of kidnapping and violent crime, it becomes evident that our nation is facing a grave security emergency.
Security remains the foremost responsibility of any government. Every life lost, every citizen abducted, and every community displaced represent a painful failure of our collective duty to protect the Nigerian people. The recurring attacks in Sokoto, Kwara, and many other parts of the country demonstrate that insecurity is not only persisting but spreading in both scope and intensity.
I once again urge the Federal Government and our security agencies to move beyond rhetoric and adopt a more proactive, intelligence-driven, technology-based, and coordinated approach to tackling insecurity. We must strengthen our security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, secure our borders, equip and motivate our security personnel, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are apprehended and brought to justice.
A nation where citizens live in fear cannot prosper. A nation where economic activities are disrupted daily by criminal elements cannot attract investment, create jobs, or guarantee a better future for its people. We must urgently reclaim every part of our country from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all criminal gangs threatening our collective existence.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar, his former colleagues in the Armed Forces, and all Nigerians who have lost loved ones to insecurity. I also sympathise with the families of those killed, those abducted, and the affected communities in Sokoto, Kwara, and across the nation.
The recurring tragedies and embarrassing security failures we continue to witness make the quest for a New Nigeria not only necessary but inevitable. We must build a nation where every citizen can live, work, travel, and pursue legitimate economic activities without fear.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Why are we making it seem as though Nigeria’s problems require an Economics Professor to solve?
I’m not saying he has all the answers or that he’s necessarily the most intelligent candidate. But dismissing him solely because you dont agree with some of his takes is harsh.
Also, the people you that “know better” have governed, yet, no results.
