In 1991, Nigerian judges sued to clear their names over car-gift allegations. Today, a Chief Justice openly accepted a Mercedes-Benz from a governor with cases before the courts. Today, judges are collecting houses from an FCT minister.
What a sad shame.
SHAME OF A NATION.
In 2006, the EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu, came before the Nigerian Senate and listed 5 most corrupt governors. They include:
1. Orji Kalu, Abia State
2. Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Lagos State
3. Ahmed Sani yerima, Zamfara State
4. George Akume, Benue State
5. Chimaroke Nnamani, Enugu State
Today, in 2026, 20 years after.
Orji Kalu = Senator
Bola Ahmed Tinubu = President
Ahmed Sani Yerima = Senator
George Akume = Senator now Appointed by Tinubu as SGF.
Chimaroke = Senator
The then EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu who made the list but failed to prosecute them, is now appointed by Tinubu to be National Security Adviser.
The Senate is currently headed by another EFCC regular, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
Which Way Nigeria? This can never be a serious nation..
A New Nigeria is POssible
The Presidency tweeted the @officialEFCC statement at 8.50pm on Wednesday; then, the very next day at 1.15pm, the same Presidency tweeted that the President was unaware of EFCC’s action and had ordered that it be reversed.
A government cannot disown at 1pm what it broadcast at 9pm the night before.
Abi inside this our Presidency, anoda Presidency dey inside?
When a Government Declares War on the Truth
President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as “a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.
The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.
The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.
As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.
Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.
During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.
What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?
The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.
Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.
Under PO, Anambra has Nigeria’s lowest unemployment at 13%.
Poverty dropped from 53% to 14.78%.
Underemployment also lowest at 17%.

Women will encourage other men to marry a repentant prostitute until it's their brother or son who brings in a repentant prostitute home, then they're suddenly aware that a woman's past matters.
Take women seriously at your own peril.
FEMINISM CAN ONLY EXIST INSIDE PATRIARCHY. IT COULD NEVER SURVIVE OUTSIDE IT.
Feminism doesn’t fight patriarchy. It needs patriarchy to justify its existence.
Feminism needs:
The police force built by men to protect her right to protest
The laws written by men to give her equal rights
The military of men to keep her country safe so she can complain about men
The electricity, roads, infrastructure, technology invented by men to give her a platform to say men are useless
The food supply chain built by men working dangerous jobs to keep her fed while she says she doesn't need men
Outside of patriarchy? In the real state of nature?
No police. No laws. No rights. No grocery store. No AC. No internet.
Just raw survival. Brute strength. Violence. Starvation.
In that world, feminism dies in 24 hours. Because in that world, a woman with a gender studies degree cannot compete with a man with an axe. She NEEDS the patriarchal structure to survive.
Feminism is a luxury belief that only exists when men have already made life so safe and comfortable that women can afford to pretend men aren't necessary.
You will never see feminism in a war zone. In a famine. In a collapsing country. In a village with no running water.
You only see it in first-world countries, in safe cities, where men have built everything so well that women forgot who built it.
That's why feminism can only exist INSIDE patriarchy. It could never survive OUTSIDE it.
