Res ipsa loquitur — the thing speaks for itself.
Three years on, Nigerians do not need spin doctors, talking points or carefully crafted excuses. The reality is reflected in the cost of fuel, food, cooking gas, the value of the naira, rising debt, and the daily economic hardship confronting ordinary citizens.
Supporters may debate the reasons. Critics may debate the solutions. But the lived experience of millions of Nigerians is difficult to dispute.
Nigeria deserves better @officialABAT@aonanuga1956
Unfortunately Nigerians are more emotional than logical. We have the disposition to talk but lack the motivation, discipline and conviction to act. Even look at the religious institution, people will go to church/ mosque and scream Jesus/Allah but go back to work and collect bribe. Nobody can take us seriously.
Let’s see how 2027 election turns out. That will determine whether there is any level of awakening.
I think many people are missing the sarcasm, and perhaps the deeper truth, in Rilwan’s statement.
President Tinubu is one man. No single individual, however powerful, can hold a nation of over 200 million people hostage without the cooperation, participation, or silence of others. It is Nigerians who protect public officials, Nigerians who work within the institutions of government, Nigerians who administer elections, Nigerians who manage public funds, and Nigerians who ultimately shape the culture that either tolerates or rejects corruption.
The challenge facing Nigeria is therefore larger than any one politician. It is a challenge of collective values, civic courage, and national unity. Our greatest obstacle has often been our inability to stand together in pursuit of a common vision for the country we desire.
History teaches us that meaningful change rarely comes from the actions of one leader alone. It comes when ordinary citizens make extraordinary sacrifices for a cause greater than themselves. Like Esther, who declared, “If I perish, I perish,” transformative moments are born when people become willing to place the future of their nation above personal comfort and fear.
The day Nigerians unite across ethnic, religious, and political lines with an unwavering commitment to justice, accountability, and national renewal is the day genuine change becomes inevitable. Until then, our struggle is not merely against individuals, but against the mindset that has allowed dysfunction to endure.
Nigeria’s redemption will not be delivered by one man. It will be achieved by millions who choose courage over fear and purpose over division.
@Prince_Zamani09@Gen_Buhar The funny thing is that I don’t even like Emeka Ike. I hope he looses but I can’t argue against him exercising his lawful right.
@Prince_Zamani09@Gen_Buhar What you’re failing to understand is that Abuja is the Federal Capital Territory and not a state and what he is contesting for is a Federal seat. Its just how Nyesom Wike is Minister of FCT but is from Rivers
I understand that it is questionable why Emeka Ike would want to contest for Abuja Municipal/Bwari Federal constituency seat. However, if the law of the Federal Republic of Nigerian allows the man to contest for the position and the man has the skills to deliver, then what is the problem. I think your focus should be ensuring that he does not win if he lacks the capacity to perform and the confidence of members of that constituency.
Let us leave tribalistic sentiments and address material issues so that we do not descend into meaningless throwing of hurtful words. I believe the goal is for a better Nigeria abi to suffer never tire you.
It is unfortunate when public commentary descends into vague insinuations rather than substantive engagement with the issues.
Peter Obi’s humility should not be mistaken for weakness. The office of President is, first and foremost, an office of public service, not a platform for arrogance or self-glorification.
More importantly, nothing in your post addresses the real question: whether Peter Obi has the competence, discipline, character and vision required to lead. The quality of a good president is not measured by how loudly he projects himself, but by his integrity, judgment, record of service, policy direction and commitment to the people.
Reducing leadership to optics and empty rhetoric is precisely the kind of thinking that has held Nigeria back. We should be demanding substance, not rewarding noise.
I take offense to when people respond to me with false information. Please everyone should note that the federal government of Nigeria did not try to build an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in eastern Nigeria to house Northernerners. This claim in itself is unreasonable because why would the FGN leave the north that is geographically bigger in landmass to come to the east to build IDP camp for Northerners. The ridiculousness is apparent on the face of that assertion.
In late 2024, a video spread across social media claiming that the federal government was secretly constructing an IDP camp in the Nsu community of Ehime Mbano Local Government Area, Imo State, specifically to relocate and settle individuals from northern Nigeria. The facility in question is actually a skills acquisition and training centre. The National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons designed the facility to provide vocational training specifically for the people of the South East geopolitical zone.
The Imo State Government officially debunked the rumor, stating that malicious actors deliberately distorted information regarding a harmless regional empowerment project to stir up ethnic tensions between the Igbo and Northern populations. Similar skill-acquisition slots were allocated across other geopolitical zones to train local residents within their respective regions
In 2026 you cannot afford to be misled by false information. The world has become so advanced that you can and should fact-check everything.
@Prince_Zamani09@Gen_Buhar It is unfortunate when statements of fact are met with assumptions of tribalism. When it comes to leadership I always want the best man to win. So if the person presented by the “Indigenes” is a better alternative, by all means, let him win. My focus is largely on the presidency.
He is contesting for Federal House of Reps. Since Nigeria has decided to remain amalgamated, federal seats are contested by people from various states so that those states can be represented at the Federal level. If you don’t like it then advocate for division of Nigeria so that the north south and east can exist independently.
@Oludari_ @Gen_Buhar What you must understand is that as long as the Igbo tribe is part of Nigeria, the Igbos cannot disassociate themselves from other parts of Nigeria especially the FCT. Otherwise, divide the country. Federal government still makes decisions and hold power that affect Igbo states.
@crownneverruin@Gen_Buhar I don’t even understand this comment. You call this your land but still chant “One Nigeria” when Igbos ask for Biafra. If we are a single country then every public land is collectively accessible to all Nigerian citizens.
If South Africans are asking you to leave their Country and their government is not doing anything to stop them from forcing you to leave, then leave in peace. I’m not sure why people are putting themselves in danger by staying in South Africa. I understand that those that have built businesses and a life there will find it difficult. But your best bet is to save your life first because these South Africans don’t know anything else but violence. Leave their country so they can deal with themselves when no more immigrants are left.
@novieverest Do you hear the passion in Peter Obi’s voice. Omo Nigerians, this 2027 election is a fight between Good vs Evil I hope we put Good (PO) in office. #DecideYourFate
