By Making Excuses for Unverified Certificates, We Are Planting Poison in the Soul of Our Society
A nation that tolerates unverified academic credentials at any level of leadership, regardless of who is involved, risks destroying the very standards upon which a society is built. The issue is not about an individual. It is about standards, accountability, and the values we choose to pass on to the next generation.
We cannot continue to excuse blurred, missing, questionable, or unverified credentials simply because they belong to someone we support. The process through which people attain positions of responsibility matters greatly. How we get into leadership is as important as what we do with leadership.
If we normalise the abandonment of basic verification today, tomorrow we may have professors who never attended a university, doctors who never studied medicine, and judges who never studied law.
That is the dangerous precedent we must never allow. Nigeria cannot sacrifice its future on the altar of today's transactional politics. We must build a society where truth is not partisan, standards are not negotiable, and accountability applies equally to everyone.
History will judge us not only by those we defended, but by the principles we were willing to defend. We must choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiments, and the future over political expediency.
A New Nigeria is possible, but only if we are willing to do the right thing, even when it is inconvenient. -PO
This why Nigeria remains a scar in the conscience of humanity. The country is designed to ewardcriminal while its relegate and frustrate hardworking people.
This is very wrong! Currently 80 years old, Bonfrere Joe, the Dutch tactician who led the Nigerian Dream Team to win the Atlanta 1996 Olympics has not been compensated 30 years after by the Nigerian Government despite making us proud those hey days?
Some of us recall those two nights of beating football giants like Brazil and Argentina with great nostalgia. In celebration, we shutdown the entire Ajegunle, Lagos State, in celebration. Leading the celebration march across streets and roadways in Ajegunle that midnight was Baba Fryo (aka Udobi the Lion).
It's very painful that a Nigerian official also stole the gold medal received by Bonfrere Joe on that historic day. A gold medal that symbolised the greatest achievement of his coaching career?
Treating Bonfrere Joe this way is demonic, opprobrious, and insalubrious.

🥇 One of the greatest Olympic football runs ever.
Nigeria stunned Brazil in the semifinals, then beat Argentina in the final to win gold at the 1996 Atlanta Games, on this day 🇳🇬⚽️
A moment that changed African football forever.
A dream team at Atlanta 1996. ⚽️✨
Nigeria made history by defeating Argentina 3-2 to become the first-ever African nation to win Olympic men's football gold. 💪

Nearly ₦400 billion was budgeted by 78 federal ministries, departments, and agencies for projects falling outside their core statutory responsibilities.
These controversial allocations feature non-developmental community items and infrastructure managed through unrelated research or technical bodies
@sirlablu Bad governance has made many people believe that you can't have quality education that is free and compulsory at all levels. Fine face without brain. Just imagine putting only the looted funds from the Former AGF into our education sector. Nonsense
Tinubu became president, installed solar power in Aso Rock for himself and his family, and told Nigerians, in effect, to go to hell or do their worst. Peter Obi would not have done this. He would never have abandoned Nigerians or approved over ₦180 billion for yachts to be kept at sea while many Nigerians are hungry.
This is the best interview from any person audition for presidency anytime in recent memory.
There is no debate that @PeterObi is the closet we will get to a President who could actually be a knowledgeable chief executive of the economy. This is mastery of the real drivers of economic growth in a competitive economy.
It was a brilliant performance from someone who rightly understands that the President of a divided and conflicted Third World country must be a communicator-in-chief..
Brilliant stuff
