What was said a little over 13 years ago still holds true today. Sadly, it is even more crucial and pathetic now.
Which way, Nigeria?
"Only Nigerians will fix Nigeria!"
Hello @LCFC
I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. I’ve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.
I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.
I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.
My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn
Thanks,

Now a Disgraced Country Indeed
Today, as the world marks World Health Day, we must pause for honest reflection.
Nigeria, a nation of over 200 million people, continues to grapple with one of the weakest healthcare systems in the world. Our primary healthcare structure is almost comatose. We now record worse infant mortality outcomes than India, a country with a larger population, while health insurance coverage in Nigeria remains below 5%. These are not just statistics; they are a painful indictment of our priorities.
Recent disclosures by the Honourable Minister of Health show that out of the ₦218 billion appropriated for healthcare capital expenditure, only about ₦36 million has been released. This is deeply troubling.
At the same time, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has projected over ₦135 billion for legal expenditures.
Let us reflect on this.
The amount earmarked for election-related litigation is far higher than what has been made available for primary healthcare, the very foundation of a nation’s wellbeing. This is the same primary healthcare system expected to serve millions of Nigerians and support critical institutions such as:
1. University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City
2. University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar
3. University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada
4. University College Hospital, Ibadan
5. Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife
6. University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin
7. Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua
8. University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu
9. Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos
10. Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital, Kano
11. Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos
12. University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri
13. Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi
14. University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt
15. Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto
16. University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Uyo
17. Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria
18. Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki
19. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi
20. Federal Medical Centre, Yola
These institutions represent hope for millions. Yet, they remain underfunded, overstretched, and burdened by systemic neglect.
A nation that prepares more for electoral disputes than for the health of its citizens is a nation that has lost its way.
We must begin to ask the difficult but necessary questions: What are our true priorities? What kind of nation are we building? And for whom?
Healthcare and education are not optional; they are the foundation of national development. Any country that neglects them undermines its own future.
Nigeria must urgently reorder its priorities. We must invest in the health and wellbeing of our people, strengthen our institutions, and build a system that works for all, not just a few.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
We Have Lost the Judiciary
Whenever I converse with Judges i feel more distressed about Nigeria. This judge accosted me about my attacks against them. She revealed to me how the honest judges cannot breathe. They have no career path as long as they are honest. She was skipped for the Court of Appeal because she is not corrupt. Many suffer the same fate
The truth is that heads of judiciary have sold the sector to criminal politicians. Honest judges have no future in Nigerian judiciary except we rise and displace the criminal caste ruling Nigeria. It is a bipartisan caste
Just when everything was cooling down, Mehdi Hassan and his team have highlights from the interview to those who have been living under a rock
Make una allow Bwala breathe abeg
This year we have lost
1 Brigadier General
2 Lt Colonel
2 Majors
And not a word has been said by their Commander in Chief.
But see what concerns these ones.
Just as I am about doing to @beninelectric
I have engaged the area manager since last year.
Around July 2025, I observed that I began paying more for units. Outrageous tariff prices. I thought it was a glitch from Opay and continued buying. After months and it was not changing, I wrote Opay and they referred me to @beninelectric.
I managed to visit their office in November and they proudly told me they upgraded my meter to Band A - in an area with barely 4hrs electricity. They claimed the meter was recently moved from a highbrow area.
I vehemently refuted that claim and told them the meter has been in that house since I was a teenager, and asked them to carry out their own investigation.
I complained and wrote a letter but was asked to not bother dropping the letter that they're going to rectify it.
This is almost March 2026 now and I'm still buying units for outrageous amounts.
I'm not always around so I visited their office yesterday Monday 23 February and they confirmed it was not downgraded 'because there were similar cases from other regions'.
What kind of talk is that? So I should continue to suffer because of your own fault?
Why are we treated like this in this country???
Well, this is to put them on notice here first before sending my demand notice.
@beninelectric you will refund the difference in units I have bought since this your misadventure and pay compensation for putting me in mental, emotional, economic and financial distress.

@FBN_help@abiodunpaulojo Good day. I have 2 complaints:
1. I bought #500 Airtel airtime twice on Friday from the bank app and received only one. No refund whatsoever.
2. I sent #1,100 to an Opay account on Saturday and it didn't deliver but I was debited.
In 2002, Monsanto they paid a $50K bribe to an Indonesian official to bypass GMO cotton regulations, falsified records as “consultant fees,” and covered taxes for the scam. Despite no repeal, they faced a $1.5M fine ($1M DOJ, $500K SEC) for FCPA violations.
The patent owner of all GMO approved in Nigeria is Monsanto. Tela Maize is MONSANTO87460, MONSANTO89034. Are you concerned yet?
No Government official in Nigeria has come forward to declare they have received 'Consultancy Fees', but Nigeria approved GMO cotton faster than the speed of thought.
It's likely we have descendants of Judas Iscariot in Government, ready to mortgage our collective future. A lot is going on offline, and you can get involved. Will let you know how but first, keep the awareness going.
Watch the video below and share it to the ends of the internet. I'll keep giving you education on what we are dealing with. Ensure turn on notifications.
Aujourd'hui 4 août, notre pays se remémore la Révolution démocratique et populaire (RDP) conduite par le Capitaine Thomas SANKARA.
Cette révolution mue par un refus de la fatalité et une réaffirmation de la volonté populaire de bâtir une Nation fière, libre et souveraine est aujourd'hui restaurée dans sa Vision à travers la Révolution progressiste populaire (RPP).
Fondée sur la capacité intrinsèque du Peuple à impulser un développement endogène et inclusif de notre Nation, la RPP est la clé du plein épanouissement des Burkinabè.
Engagés et déterminés à l'image de nos valeureux devanciers, nous vaincrons l'impérialisme pour que prospère le BURKINA FASO.
LA PARTIE OU LA MORT, NOUS VAINCRONS.
