At 41, he couldn't win the world cup.

And he thinks he's Messi's mate?

Congratulations to all the African countries representing our continent at the World Cup. Your performances have made Africa proud.

Special congratulations to Cape Verde, a nation with a landmass of 4,033 sq km, which is less than 0.5% of Nigeria’s landmass of 923,768 sq km, and a population of about 550,000, which is less than 0.25% of Nigeria’s population of 230,000,000. For context, Cape Verde has about 200,000 fewer people than Ogbomoso. Yet, they reached the knockout stage of the World Cup.

Cape Verde has once again demonstrated that greatness is not determined by size or population, but by planning and disciplined execution. When systems work, even the smallest nations can compete with the best in the world.

Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup is not a consequence of a lack of talent. It is the result of years of poor administration, weak institutions, and leadership that has consistently failed to build sustainable systems.

This is the lesson for us as a nation: if we can get leadership right, strengthen our institutions, plan and execute properly, and reward talent over connections, Nigeria can become a global success story, not only in football but also in other areas.

A new Nigeria is POssible … and Nigeria will be OK. -PO

Is Ronaldo at this World Cup?

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

True story. A couple I know moved to the US. Husband came on an F1 student visa, wife and kids on F2, which meant she could not formally work.

Most people would have waited. She did not.

She cooked for people, braided hair, then trained as a nurse in an accelerated program. She became a nurse before his student status ran out, got a hospital job, and the whole family got their green card through her.

They did not have this planned when they landed. They just came, and figured it out.

If you keep waiting for the full map before you move, you will wait forever. Come to the bridge. You will find a way to cross it.

It takes a child who was raised well to raise their own children well.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

You think I'm happy living abroad?

I have a family I grew up with, whom I love with all of my heart - and the reality keeps dawning on me, on how many times I will see them before I one day turn 60.

People I saw daily, or once a month - I haven't seen in years, and would realistically only see once a year, going forward.

You think I'm happy?

That one day, I might end up having children and my siblings might not have the relationship with them - the relationship I had with my uncles, in my formative years? I remember clearly how they would take us to MrBiggs every Sunday - I am currently reliving the flavour from that meatpie.

How we would go to the family house in Ikeja, every year for Eid. The grandchildren uniforms, the snacks while watching your uncles slaughter rams.

You think I'm happy that I might one day lead a family of children who might not know their version of that?

WTF will I be doing in another man's land, if I did everything they asked me to do from childhood (face your studies, be exceptional, stay away from crime, be hardworking) and opportunities lined up for me to be the best I could, in my motherland? WTF will I be doing here?

Why will I condescend myself to living in a clime where I have to mentally switch from sun burning weather to teeth clenching winter - when I came from a land where I never needed gloves? You think I'm happy?

If I could do honest work, be on my way home and not have to bother about the risk of getting shot by the people meant to protect me, because I have some lines of tattoos on my body - you think I would leave?

If I could trust a justice system to defend me, ensure my rights even though I am a nobody - have trustworthy institutions banking on the highest standards, not have to worry about the bread I eat, the fake drinks from the club or streets, the fake drugs - you think I would leave?

Don't get me wrong. I am grateful for the opportunities this clime has given me, to test my limits - to be everything I thought I could be. But all of these, in replacement for the soul I grew up with?

You know the satisfaction that settled within me when I could wake up on a Saturday morning, stroll to the Iya wanke's place - relish an entire plate, or some ewa agonyin while watching children battle it out, in a 5 v 5 across the streets.

That communal living that relished my soul, is now replaced with silent streets and finely divided sealed terraces.

You walk through the city centres in the evenings - you see friends having an aperitif (they do so every evening), you see grandfathers meeting up with their children, you see entire families with extended families living across the streets, first cousins are even able to use the same gym and you remember what that looked like for you back home?

You think of all your friends scattered across continents, some you might never get to hug again.

For a lot of diasporans, you don't want Nigeria to work more than us. A lot of us want to come home, but what is home? Where is home? When will home feel like home?

I hope to continue living life without lack, in comfort, with accomplished dreams - but I want to do so, with soul. When I die one day, I want to do so - with soul.

Dear Esteemed Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC),

Fellow patriots and nation-builders,

As we stand at this critical crossroads in Nigeria’s history, one truth rings louder than ever: Peter Obi is the perfect candidate to defeat the APC and Tinubu in 2027 and to finally deliver the Nigeria of our dreams.

Why? Because he is the president Nigeria can actually afford.

Unlike other aspirants weighed down by heavy political baggage, Peter Obi carries none of the burdens that have crippled previous leaderships:
*No large family obligations draining public resources
*No army of political associates demanding contracts and favours
*No expensive lifestyle or taste for luxury that turns governance into a personal ATM
*No cabal waiting to hijack the Villa
*No long list of enemies to fight or decades-old grudges to settle
*No foreign liabilities or diploma controversies
*No belief in marabouts or supernatural powers dictating policy
*No interfering First Lady or First Family turning the seat of power into a family enterprise
*No Weakness that comes with old age

He comes clean, focused, and ready to work for Nigeria and not for himself or a small circle of cronies.

But Peter Obi is not just “affordable” PO is highly effective. His agility and energy are unmatched. He moves across the country with ease, listens to the people, and makes decisions without drama.

He will:
1. Ruthlessly cut the cost of governance so that every kobo works for the people
2. Spend government money wisely, strictly on priorities that matter
3. Channel massive resources into human capital; education, health, and lifting millions out of poverty
4. Place National Unity for Prosperity at the very top of his agenda; one nation, one destiny, shared progress
5. Our institutions will be strengthened and made truly independent, free from interference by any arm of government.
6. True separation of powers will return: Federal, State, and Local Governments will function as genuine partners, not rivals.
7. Security agencies will be fully empowered, properly funded, and focused on protecting every Nigerian’s life and property.

This is not just another campaign promise. This is Peter Obi’s proven track record speaking for itself, a man who has governed before with integrity, frugality, and results.

ADC members, the moment has come. The people are tired of recycled politics, expensive governance, and broken promises.
They are hungry for a leader they can trust, afford, and be proud of.

Let us rally behind Peter Obi, the man who can defeat APC/Tinubu not with money or machinery, but with character, compassion, competence, and a clear vision.

Together, we will build the Nigeria of our dreams: secure, united, prosperous, and truly for all.

A president we can afford🤝
Peter Obi for President 2027!

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Let us reflect, sincerely and without sentiment.

In the past few days, the President has reportedly approved ₦3.3 trillion as a “full and final” payment for debts in the power sector. Yet, this is not the first time such approvals have been made.

On May 17, 2024, ₦3.3 trillion was approved for the same purpose. On July 25, 2024, another ₦4 trillion bond was approved to settle similar debts. There have also been other approvals in between, all targeted at addressing the same power sector liabilities.

This raises a fundamental question: were the previous approvals mere announcements without execution?

₦3.3 Trillion Again? Nigeria’s Power Crisis Without End

During the 2023 campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a clear promise: that if he failed to deliver stable electricity, Nigerians should not re-elect him. Today, the reality is that power supply has worsened, to the extent that there are even discussions about disconnecting the Presidential Villa from the national grid.

Each time legitimate concerns are raised, what we see appears more like policy pronouncements than measurable progress.

Now, again, we are confronted with another ₦3.3 trillion approval to settle power sector debts.

These debts were largely accumulated under successive administrations of the All Progressives Congress between 2015 and 2025. This raises serious concerns about accountability, transparency, and effectiveness in public financial management.

It is important to note that government institutions and agencies, including the Presidential Villa owe a significant portion of these debts. Year after year, budgets were made and funds appropriated. Why then were these obligations not settled when due? And from what source will this new payment be made? Are we resorting once more to borrowing to service inefficiencies?

Key questions remain unanswered: How did the debt accrue? What is the actual total debt in the power sector? Which components of the debts are due to operators’ inefficiency and should be borne by them? Why have previous approvals not translated into tangible improvements? Who are the real beneficiaries of these repeated payments?

Is the ₦3.3 trillion approved on April 6, 2026, the same as the ₦3.3 trillion approved in May 2024, and how does it relate to the ₦4 trillion bond approved in July 2024?

Nigeria must move beyond recycled announcements and confront the power sector crisis with sincerity, transparency, and decisive reforms.

Until we do so, we will remain trapped in a cycle of debt and darkness.

But with discipline, accountability, and the right leadership, a new Nigeria is still possible. -PO

A Nation Under Siege

The nation is once again engulfed in grief and outrage following the horrific explosions in Maiduguri, Borno State, yesterday. These tragic events serve as a painful reminder of how far we have strayed from the fundamental duty of governance: the protection of lives and property.

The fact that several innocent Nigerians can be killed in multiple coordinated attacks, with over a hundred others injured in vulnerable places like markets and near hospitals, highlights a troubling reality. The silence from our nation in response to such atrocities indicates a disturbing normalization of insecurity rather than a decisive confrontation with the issue.

In light of recent attacks in Kwara, Nasarawa, Kogi, Plateau, Sokoto, Benue, and even within the Federal Capital Territory, the pattern of insecurity is deeply concerning. In some regions, such as Katsina, there are alarming reports of communities being coerced into paying a "Peace Tax" to armed groups just to avoid further attacks and ensure their survival.

These moments test not only our security architecture but also the very essence of leadership. Such a grave national emergency requires immediate presence, attention, and action. It is crucial to cancel any planned trips to visit affected communities in favor of prioritizing efforts to safeguard lives.

During this time of grief, my thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost loved ones, as well as those who are injured and fighting to recover. May God grant eternal rest to the departed, comfort the bereaved, and provide strength and healing to all affected.

We cannot continue down this path. Our nation must rise to protect its citizens with urgency, responsibility, and compassion.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

WATCH THIS IF YOU HAD A BAD DAY

[AYO💡💡 @sepril23NG]

To those insisting Nigerians must pay through the nose for basic education, fuel, and essentials:

Let's be honest—what exactly is the purpose of government in Nigeria today?

Citizens already provide, at great personal cost, most of what any functioning state is supposed to deliver:

Security: we hire vigilantes, install burglar-proofing, pay community guards, or simply live in fear
Education: parents fund private schools, extra lessons, and exam fees because public schools are under-resourced and often dysfunctional
Electricity: we buy generators, inverters, solar panels, and diesel/petrol to power our homes and businesses
Water: boreholes and water tankers replace non-existent public supply
- Even basic infrastructure — many communities grade their own roads

Yet, despite forcing these burdens on Nigerians we still face heavier and more frequent taxation VAT, excise duties, multiple levies, new taxes almost monthly, while the cost of living skyrockets and even the government pays a very meager wage.

If citizens are already funding 70–80% of their own essential services out-of-pocket, why is it suddenly "too much to ask" for government to subsidize education, transportation fuel, or food staples
especially when billions from our shared national wealth (oil revenue, taxes, loans) continue to disappear into opaque budgets, inflated contracts, luxury lifestyles and outright looting by politicians and their cronies?

The social contract is breaking. A government that collects taxes but fails to provide even the most basic public goods while asking citizens to accept ever-rising hardship without visible benefits is not governing; it is only extracting.

If subsidizing critical areas like education (to build human capital), affordable transport/energy (to keep the economy moving), or food (to prevent mass hunger) is considered unaffordable, then perhaps we should honestly ask:

What, then, are we paying government for?

Nigerians deserve better than survival mode self provisioning yet endless taxation, duties and levies with little to show for it.
