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
ABOUT THE CHRIST THE KING PROCESSION TOMORROW
Dear Catholics, tomorrow is the Solemnity of Christ the King. In almost all the parishes tomorrow, there will be a procession. As you go for the procession, please keep the following points in mind:
1. It is not a gyration, nor is it a fitness walk. It is a Eucharistic Procession, a solemn act of faith and adoration of Christ truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Walk with reverence and meditate on Christ’s kingship over your life and the world.
2. Sing and dance responsibly. Your singing and dancing should be expressions of worship, not distractions. Let your movements and songs glorify Christ, the King of the Universe, in a dignified and prayerful way.
3. Avoid excessive use of phones. The procession is not a time to focus on capturing videos and pictures. While documenting moments may have its place, prioritize your spiritual participation over turning the event into a social media showcase.
4. Adore the Lord with all your heart. Gaze upon the Blessed Sacrament with love and devotion, recognizing Jesus as your King and Savior. Spend the time in silent prayers or meditations as He passes by.
5. Dress modestly and appropriately. Your attire should reflect the solemnity of the occasion and show respect for the Eucharistic Lord.
6. Respect order and unity. Follow the directions of those coordinating the procession. Avoid behaviors that disrupt the prayerful atmosphere or draw undue attention to yourself.
7. Make it a time of intercession. Offer prayers for peace, justice, and the reign of Christ in the world. Bring before Him the needs of the Church, your community, and your personal life.
8. Be mindful of the Blessed Sacrament. When the Eucharist passes by, bow or kneel in reverence. Remember, this is Christ Himself, the King of Kings.
9. Focus on the spiritual purpose. The procession is a public witness to Christ’s kingship over all creation. Let it deepen your faith and renew your commitment to follow Him.
10. End with thanksgiving. After the procession, participate fully in any concluding prayers or blessings. Spend a moment in silent gratitude, asking Christ to reign in every aspect of your life.
11. Finally, be security conscious.

"Why are you always angry?"
"Why are you always tweeting as if they're fighting you?"
If you have any sort of rationality, there's no way you're not perpetually angry.
At least since, yesterday, everyone is angry.
As much as I hate APC slaves and Data Boys, I respect the confession of wickedness to admit that - even if it doesn't serve a greater purpose, they're there for table scraps.
The people I have absolute disgust for, are the fence sitters - the apolitical.
"I really don't like to dabble in anything political conversations". It doesn't matter how much people die, insufferable policies implemented, chaos erupting - their tongues tied or riveting is stupid attempts at being politically correct.
Those ones, i hate.
Even if you're not currently affected, you owe it as a voice of reason, a token of consciousness, a signature of morality - to speak for others.
It a human responsibility to embody " injury to one is injury to all" because the affected victim could be you and in reality,
In Nigeria's reality - today's survivor is tomorrow's victim.
I pray that we wake up from this slumber. No one is coming to save us. No one.
When will it be enough? When?
It's becoming normal. We are gradually normalising killings.
Wake up.
Sometimes, you read a story that makes the blood in your veins run cold.
Blessing's baby, Victory, was born premature and diagnosed with hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain), and she needs an urgent ₦1,000,000 surgery to survive.
Instead of support, Blessing’s husband called her a witch for having a sick child and threw her and their baby out onto the street.
Now, Blessing is alone, fighting for her daughter's life with nothing.
Her husband turned his back, but we will not.
AprokoNation, let's be the family she needs right now. Let's save Victory.
