Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,

After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.

You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.

It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.

In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.

I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.

You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.

If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.

Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.

I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.

My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@sportsdokitor What's in God's name is so difficult to pay people their entitlements as at when due ?

If the country doesn't want such then those in charge should learn to do the right thing for goodness sake. It's not that difficult or is it?

Thank you, @Peter4Nigeria

@_Ochiedike God fearing, has nothing to do with critical thinking. Except the interpretation of God fearing in your context is different from what I know.

Critical thinking is really needed to move things forward on this continent.

Today, our nation marks another significant milestone in its journey to nationhood.

As we celebrate 65 years of independence from colonial rule, this moment offers us an opportunity to reflect on our collective journey of nation-building; on the challenges we have faced, and on the vast possibilities that still lie ahead.

It is true that we face challenges that could test our sense of hope; insecurity, economic disparities and institutions that often struggle to deliver on the promises of improved wellbeing, peace and security. Yet, as citizens, we must not lose faith. We must continue to nurture hope and sustain belief in the nation’s enormous potential and the resilience of the people.

Nigeria is a blessed nation, endowed with vast land, abundant natural resources, and, above all, the ingenuity and creativity of the people.

Our cultural richness, our knowledge, and our wisdom have continued to distinguish Nigerians across every sphere of human endeavor, both at home and abroad.

As we look to the future, let patriotism guide our actions. Let us hold firmly to optimism and faith, knowing that the greatness of our country is within reach if we remain united and steadfast.

May our nation continue to rise in strength and purpose.

.@GEJonathan: Tribalism and religion are major setbacks for Nigeria

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

No, Mr President, this is not the Time for Holidaying.

Dear Nigerians, I am struggling with my senses to understand what is happening to governance in this country.

What I have seen and witnessed in the last two years has left me in shock about poor governance delivery and apparent channelling of energy into politics and satisfaction of the elites, while the masses in our midst are languishing in want.

In the past two years, Nigeria has lost more people to all sorts of criminality than a country that is officially at war. Without any twilight, Nigeria ranks among the most insecure places in the world. Nigerians are hungrier, and most people do not know where their next meal will come from.

With such a gory picture of one’s country, you can imagine my bewilderment when I saw a news release from the Presidency announcing that President Bola Tinubu is departing Nigeria today for a visit to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean.

The Presidency release merely confirmed an earlier news report since last week where the Prime Minister of the Caribbean Philip J. Pierre announced at a pre-cabinet press briefing on Monday, last week that
President Bola Tinubu is expected to depart Nigeria on Saturday, June 28, 2025, for Saint Lucia for official engagements and private leisure time.

According to the Prime Minister’s announcement “two of these days, June 30 and July 1, will be dedicated to an official visit, with the remainder of the trip set aside as a personal vacation.

I told the person who drew my attention to the Caribbean story that it cannot be true and that the President is just coming back from a holiday in Lagos. I didn’t want to believe that anybody in the position of authority, more so the President, on whose table the buck stops in this country, with all the myriad problems in virtually all areas of governance, would contemplate a leisure trip at this time.

This is a President going for leisure when he couldn’t visit Minna, Niger state where over two hundred lives were lost and over 700 persons still missing in a flood natural disaster. I wonder which type of incident will happen before a President is attracted to show physical sympathy to the distressed citizens.

The other state in crisis where over two hundred lives were murdered, the President yielded to public pressure and visited Makurdi the state capital for what turned out to be a political jamboree than condolence as public holiday was declared and children made to line up to receive the President who couldn’t even reach the village, the scene of the brutal attack.

In terms of land size, Makurdi is 937.4 Km², which is over 59% bigger than St Lucia, which is 617 km², and Minna is 6789 square kilometres, which is ten times bigger than St Lucia. St Lucia, with a population of 180,000, is less than half of Makurdi’s 489 839 and Minna, with 532, 000 is almost three times the population of St Lucia.

I don't think the situation in this country today calls for leisure for anybody in a position of authority, more so the President, on whose desk the buck stops. This regime has repeatedly shown its insensitivity and lack of passion for the populace, going by the way it prioritises the rich and shows indifference to the poor.

This very obvious indifference of the federal government to the suffering of the Nigerian poor should urgently be reversed. One had expected the President to be asking God for extra hours in a day for the challenges, but what we see is a concentration of efforts in the 2027 election and on satisfying the wealthy while the mass poor continues to multiply in number.

Finally, I like to let our leaders know one thing that the God given resources of this country belong to all, not to a few. The time has come to put a stop to this drift before it consumes all and focus on pulling people out of poverty.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

With a heart so full it aches, our kids depart Lagos Nigeria today with for America, where they’ll compete in Athens Georgia, New York City and Harvard University.

Typing these words fill my eyes with tears all over again because I know their stories.

Ferdinand- Differently abled child, living with cerebral palsy, used to be bullied by other children in his community , born to poor fisherman in the Largest floating slum in the world. But when he plays chess, the world standstill.

Mary- her family was almost killed by Boko Haram terrorists. Forgotten in an IDP camp in Northern Nigeria where dreams go to die. But hers didn’t.

Mabel-radiant and full of promise. Met her 7 years ago in the slums of Ikorodu with a sparkle in her eyes but no opportunity to go to school. Today a fierce chess queen with dreams to be a doctor.

Jamiu—Abandoned by father as a child, watched his mum die in my hands, Homeless. Yet undefeated and already one of the best chess players in the country for his age category.

They have braved all odds to be here today to represent children like them who have been told they were invincible.

To the kids: play with heart, walk with pride. Know that the dreams of many others fly with you today, not as a burden but as light.

You are becoming the kind of story the world cannot ignore.

We still need all the help and support we can get, so if you’re in Georgia, NYC or Boston, come support the kids as they show the world what they’re truly made of. I have also put up a Go fund me link in Bio for those who asked to donate.

Dates:
Athens Georgia (March 29th)
New York City (April 2nd)
Harvard University. (April 4th)

Please reach out to me or @chessinslums for full info and location.

Fly safe my champions. Uncle Tunde will see you soon❤️

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

In a country that has ambition, people should grow up aspiring to benefit from and contribute to the country's productive economy.

Nobody should grow up seeing NGO work as their visual reference for prosperity, as is the case in many parts of Nigeria and Africa.

The NGO-isation of African economies is a form of hybrid warfare. In tech, for example, there exists a whole subgenre of "tech bros" who do not actually build anything that solves any problems or creates any value, but rather apply for grants and receive what amounts to "free" dollars from foreign governments in exchange for not very much work at all.

The same thing is happening is happening in journalism, where almost no Nigerian journalist is working to figure out a new business model to replace the clearly broken current one that makes journalists poor, and nobody is interested in reporting stories that actually matter to Nigeria's national interests. Everybody is instead busy chasing $2,000 grants from Pullitzer Centre, CDD, CJID, and the rest of the Abuja NGO journalism rabble.

In agriculture, nobody is trying to fix the REAL problems with Nigerian agriculture - security, mechanisation, and storage & transport infrastructure. Instead, everybody is chasing Gates Foundation money and parroting Microsoft Man's narrative about how GMOs will fix everything. Half of Nigeria's harvests spoil ON THE FARM every year due to lack of storage and evacuation infrastructure, but one white man's NGO is busy telling us that what we need to increase our food supply is Monsanto-patented corn, and EVERYBODY is following him because of NGO money!

In education, nobody is interested in the foundational problems - an outdated Victorian curriculum and a widespread lack of basic infrastructure like classrooms and computers. Everybody is instead busy following oyibo NGOs to be talking about AI and IoT-enabled learning for all the 12 students that will ever have access to those things, so that they will use AI to teach them that Mungo Park discovered River Niger, and they can use their IoT-enabled tablet computer to label parts of praying mantis.

In real estate, nobody is building to solve the uniform problem across sub-Saharan Africa - access to relatively cheap, high-quality housing, which immediately elevates low-income earners into middle-class status. Everybody is busy chasing one tiny market of money launderers and NGO people who earn in dollars and pricing condos in Guzape at $400,000. So now you have poorly-built, low-quality, cement-and-glass nonsense multiplying all over Africa and sitting empty for decades while the population of urban slums continues to balloon every year!

NGOs and the influx of foreign government money need to be treated as a critical national security threat across Africa. At least 90% of existing NGOs absolutely do not need to exist and should be shut down. Any influx of foreign state funds into an African country must be subject to oversight, and caps need to be placed on how much NGO staff can get paid, so as not to distort national economies dangerously, as they are currently doing.
