Today in Lagos, I had the honour of unveiling two newly acquired Boeing 737-800NG aircraft by United Nigeria Airlines, named in recognition of two exceptional sons of Nigeria: the late Professor Chinua Achebe, the globally celebrated literary icon, and His Royal Majesty, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, CFR, the Obi of Onitsha.
I commend the Chairman and Founder of United Nigeria Airlines, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, for this thoughtful gesture of immortalising individuals whose contributions have profoundly shaped our society. Honouring excellence and service inspires future generations and strengthens our collective national identity.
The acquisition of these aircraft is a testament to the growing confidence in Nigeria’s aviation sector and the resilience of indigenous enterprises. I also applaud the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, for his reform-driven leadership and commitment to creating an enabling environment for private-sector participation in the industry.
I particularly welcome ongoing efforts to strengthen local airlines through innovative initiatives such as aircraft leasing arrangements, which will enhance competitiveness, improve access to aviation assets, and support sustainable growth across the sector.
I also appreciate the Minister’s continued support for the Abia Airport project. I am pleased to report that work on the runway has reached an advanced stage, and our administration remains fully committed to delivering a world-class aviation facility that will expand economic opportunities, improve connectivity, and position Abia as a strategic hub for commerce and investment.
I congratulate United Nigeria Airlines on this milestone and wish the airline greater success as it continues to contribute to national development, create jobs, and strengthen Nigeria’s aviation industry.
Congratulations once again to Professor Obiora Okonkwo, the management of United Nigeria Airlines, and all stakeholders whose vision and dedication made this achievement possible.
No matter wetin anybody think about Nnamdi Kanu
One thing wey every civilized society suppose agree on be say:
Justice delayed na justice denied.
Too many years don pass.
Too many court appearances.
Too many arguments.
Too many headlines.
At some point, a nation must ask itself:
Are we looking for justice?
Or are we simply extending a story that should have reached a conclusion long ago?
You fit support am.
You fit oppose am.
But fairness no suppose depend on whose side you dey.
The true strength of any democracy no be how e treat people wey agree with government.
Na how e treat people wey challenge am.
If a man get case, hear am.
If e get answer to give, make e give am.
If e get punishment to face, make e face am.
But let justice move.
Because when cases drag for years and years, everybody lose.
The individual lose.
The system lose.
The country lose.
Nigeria needs lots of healing.
Nigeria needs closure.
Nigeria needs justice wey no dey crawl.
Tinubu my bro, pls wake up and do the needful.
What June 12 Should Mean to Us Nigerians
Today, we observe a day that should mean a great deal to us as a people who cherish democratic principles. Every year on June 12, the conversation inevitably turns to a critical assessment of the state of our nation. It serves as an annual benchmark for asking important questions: Are our elections today as transparent as they were in 1993? Is the social contract being honoured? Are the institutions of governance truly serving the people?
Ultimately, June 12 is a powerful blend of reflection and aspiration. It honours a fractured past while serving as a constant and foundational reminder of the immense power inherent in the collective democratic will of the Nigerian people.
For us in Nigeria, June 12 is not merely a date on the calendar; it is the emotional and structural bedrock of our modern democratic identity. Officially recognised as Democracy Day, June 12 carries deep historical, political, and social significance, representing both a monumental tragedy and the ultimate triumph of the collective will of the people.
To understand what June 12 means to Nigeria, one must examine its history, its evolution, and its enduring symbolism.
A new era of true democracy is POssible. -PO
@PeterObi Since our first qualification for the World Cup in 1994, we have never gone 2 world cups in row without qualifying until APC happened to us.
APC is a cancer that must be removed come 2027
As the World Cup Begins Without Nigeria
As the World Cup begins today across three nations, I identify with our teeming football followers and urge them not to be despondent that Nigeria is not participating, despite the abundant talent in our land.
Our failure to participate on the global stage is not due to a deficit of talent; it is a direct consequence of a deficit in leadership, planning, and institutional support.
The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. Do not watch the World Cup with despair; rather, see it as a reminder of where Nigeria ought to be. We must move our country from being a nation of mere consumers of global entertainment to a nation of proud producers and competitors.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
PROTECT THE INNOCENCE OF OUR GIRLS! 🙏❤️
Mark Wahlberg attended a father-daughter dance with his 10-year-old daughter.
When explicit lyrics started playing, he told the DJ:
“This is not okay. You got little girls here… you’re dropping F-bombs and all kinds of other stuff.”
Some called it old-fashioned.
Others called it good parenting.
Do you support his response? Would you have done anything differently?
This video made me emotional. The faith of Northern Christians in God is unparalleled. However, the radical isl@mists must not be allowed to continue with their cleansing & domination. This Christian population has to be saved.
MEGA PROTEST & FREEDOM RALLY
Against the Royal Reception for President Tinubu.
For the Release of Mazi #NnamdiKanu
Wednesday, March 18, 2026 | 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Buckingham Palace & Surrounding Areas in London.
Christian genocide******
Mazi #NnamdiKanu’s appeal and release*****.
The release of our brothers and sisters unjustly and illegally detained, just like Mazi #NnamdiKanu.
The Nigerian government’s false flags against #IPOB and Mazi #NnamdiKanu*****
The chaos surrounding the 2027 elections ****
The pursuit of a sane, just, and functional system - Biafra.
Through it all, one truth remains: there is work ahead, and we must stand where it truly matters, with dignity, integrity, and unwavering commitment to justice.
Our voices will continue to echo!
This day is an opportunity for people who share these concerns to gather, express their views, and call attention to issues they believe must not be ignored. Many feel that honouring a leader while governance challenges persist sends the wrong message, one that normalizes suffering, insecurity, and lack of accountability.
This rally is a chance for individuals to make their voices heard peacefully and publicly.
Mark your diary.
Take the day off.
Stand for what matters to you.
Participation is open to all who identify as Biafrans, friends of Biafra, lovers of freedom, and people of good conscience. Bring your families, your networks, your communities. Let your presence speak.
