The Disheartening Humiliation of Prof. Aghaji
Every day in this country, we find ourselves in a bizarre situation that we find difficult to understand: where we are and how we got to this uncivilised behaviour and rascality. Worse still, when you try to bring these abnormalities to the attention of those concerned, they resort to abuse instead of appreciation.
Just this morning, my attention was drawn to the disrespectful and humiliating circumstances surrounding the apprehension of Professor Martin Aghaji, a distinguished 74-year-old medical expert. This man was not invited, nor was any direct contact made with him. Instead, they invaded his home at Independent Layout, Enugu, in the dead of the night, at 2 a.m., to arrest him in front of his visiting daughter.
As an internationally recognised cardiothoracic surgeon, esteemed academic, and elder statesman, Professor Aghaji warrants a considerable degree of respect, both because of his advanced age and his substantial contributions to our nation. More importantly, however, every Nigerian, irrespective of status or profession, deserves to be treated with dignity and in accordance with the rule of law. After the humiliation of breaking into his house and whisking him away from Enugu to Lagos for three days, all he got was, “Sorry, we made a mistake.”
The public outcry concerning the state’s handling of Professor Aghaji’s case highlights a wider conflict between the actions of state security agencies and the imperative to safeguard professional integrity and individual dignity. Such conduct directed at a 74-year-old might not only exacerbate the critical “brain drain” but also severely damage the country’s already precarious healthcare infrastructure.
This incident brings to mind the similar mistreatment of a medical practitioner in Akwa Ibom, which prompted the Nigeria Medical Association to consider a nationwide strike. Fortunately, due to prompt intervention, a formal public apology was issued to the affected doctor.
The practice of treating highly regarded, ethical professionals - and indeed any Nigerian - like common criminals sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law across all sectors. Therefore, we must conduct ourselves with civility in the discharge of our public duties. A superior and renewed Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO
“If you think you’re not a cr!minal, go to the court and prove yourself. You forfeited 460,000 dollars to the US, are you not suppose to be checked ? Your certificates do not tally, the primary school you claimed you attended does not exist as at the time you quoted it. You’re a person of a concern”

Unprecedented flooding all over Lagos. It's been speculated that the coastal road has blocked off major drainage channels
When Minister Dave Umahi was questioned about environmental impact assessment report he belittled and berated the journalist asking the question.
One of the most profound statements that @DeleFarotimi has made was applauding Tinubu for exposing many people who we thought had integrity.
I dislike inconsistent people so much.
Dear Nigerian Military
What’s with the coup trial? First it was reported by the military that there was no coup! Then a trial started! Now we are hearing torture going on! Accounts frozen and families of the accused left in harsh conditions.
Is this trial justifiable?
Donald Trump faces the press everyday & answers questions from America.
Tinubu has never spoken to Nigerians, even in the most difficult times.
But Peter Obi is your problem.
"Tinubu said: '...why should I make laws that favour free and fair election, if you don't want to vote don't vote. Who say you must vote. You can sleep in your house that day. If only three people that vote for me, I win."
If you take a letter to INEC, they would call Villa. If they say don't collect they won't collect and if they ask them to collect they would collect because INEC is controlled from Aso Rock" - Prince Adeboyo
My dear supporters,
REMEMBER, WE HAVE MOVED ON AND FOCUSED ON THE BIGGER PICTURE!!!!
Any conversation that is not about the 2027 presidential election and how to get Peter Obi @PeterObi elected and sworn into office , please ignore!!!!!
After the 2027 General Elections we will have the luxury to respond if it is worth our time.
For now we will continue with our tunnel vision on the presidential election!!!!!
"...if you know I have done anything criminal in the past this is the time to bring it out..."

".... Releasing those academic.records will do me irreparable damage...."
~Tinubu to a US Federal Court.
One is a man of Character the other is career crímínal

If a Muslim can stand in London, New York, or Paris and publicly preach Islam, hand out Qurans, and invite people to become Muslim...
Why shouldn't a Christian be able to stand in Riyadh, Islamabad, or Kabul and publicly preach Christianity, hand out Bibles, and invite people to become Christian?
If we ask others to respect our religious freedom, shouldn't we be willing to respect theirs too?
Either freedom of religion is a principle.
Or it's a privilege we demand for ourselves but deny to others.
As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.
Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.
Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.
Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.
Why?
If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.
Truth does not need censorship.
If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.
You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.
The double standard needs to be called out.
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
SWEET NEWS FROM ABIA STATE.
Two persons were kidnapped in Umuawa-Alaocha community in Umuahia-North local government area by Fulani bandits. A male and a female. The kidnappers called the family of the female victim, and demanded for ransom, or else they will kill her. After much negotiation, they brought the ransom to 10 million naira last. Youths from the community felt challenged since the police or the military was not going to act, and their people are just suffering in the hands of kidnappers. They mobilized themselves in their hundreds to comb the forests around umuahia-north to rescue their people
They entered the forest from different directions in groups and in large numbers. Lo and behold, they spotted the kidnappers, rounded the 6 of them up, and rescued the two victims.
They have reunited the victims with their families and also handed over the 6 kidnappers to the police.
Despite Three Years of Tinubu's Food Emergency, Nigeria hungriest ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.
In celebrating his supposed successful three years in office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu listed some achievements in the agricultural sector, firstly, his declaration of emergency on food security in July 2023, followed by the acquisition of 2,000 tractors and 9,000 farming implements, stated as Nigeria's largest agricultural mechanisation programme.
Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria's hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria's hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure had since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026. Consequently, Nigeria is now classified among the world's most hungry or food-insecure nations in the world, with the World Bank forecasting that 33 million Nigerians could experience severe hunger.
In fact, Nigeria has the highest number of hungry people in the world.
I have always maintained that Nigeria have no reason to be seen among the hungriest nations in the world when we have fast, uncultivated land in the north, which is our greatest asset today.
We must transparently invest in Agricultural production, which will guarantee food security, but create huge employment.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

I have listened to everything Kenneth Okonkwo, Bwala, Reno, Momodu, Abure, and others have said about Peter Obi.
I have concluded that PO is no longer the better candidate but the BEST CHOICE for 2027.
The fact that they all hate him is exactly why we want him in power in 2027
When Deborah Samuel was brutally murdered in Sokoto, Atiku issued a press release condemning the action; the following day, he withdrew it and apologised, saying it was his pressmen that issued it without his approval.
Former SGF Babachir Lawal alleges that the ADC presidential flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, has no sympathy for the victims of terrorism.
