Igbo was spoken in prayer at the Vatican, and every Igbo person anywhere in the world should feel it in their chest.

This is the language your parents spoke in whispers when they were told it was backward. The language some were punished for speaking in school. The language many were encouraged to abandon so they could sound acceptable. That same Igbo stood at the centre of global faith and spoke to God without apology.

That moment belongs to every Igbo child in London, Lagos, Houston, Johannesburg, Aba, Onitsha. It says your tongue is not small. It says your culture is not provincial. It says you come from a people whose voice carries weight even in the most guarded rooms on earth.

For ndi Igbo, this is a reminder of who we are. A people who travel far but never disappear. Who lose battles but never identity. Who bend history until it makes room for us. Our language did not survive by accident. It survived because it carries intelligence, philosophy, dignity.

This is not just pride. It is responsibility.

To speak Igbo boldly.
To teach it deliberately.
To stop treating it as lesser.

N’ihi na asụsụ nwere ike ikwu ekpere n’Ụlọ Nsọ Vatican egosila na o kwesịrị ibi ebe niile.

Igbo adịghị anwụ anwụ.
Igbo erugo Rome.

"Unity Entails Standing For Something, Not Merely Against Something" - Kwame Ture

It has been said that one of the greatest obstacles to Africa’s progress is its lack of unity. In this excerpt from a 1992 lecture at Florida International University, Miami, USA, political activist and revolutionary Kwame Ture (1941 – 1998) outlines what it actually means for African people to be united, and how to build such unity.

Ture was a notable figure in the Civil Rights Movement of the United States, a key leader in the Black Power Movement and a global advocate for Pan-Africanism.

Is not like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was wrong in any of his predictions.

The double standards and 2 tier policing when it concerns persons from the south is now glaring for all to see.

Terrorist in the north are “rehabilitated and reintegrated”

Those from the south west are allowed to make public apology and everything is forgiven.

The ones from the south south are granted amnesty.

But when a south easterner dare to speak about the injustice and marginalization of his people, he’s thrown under the jail.

Clearly you don’t want the s/easterners. Oya let them go, MBA.

@PeterObi The government’s approach has only deepened mistrust and created an avoidable distraction at a time when citizens are overwhelmed by harsh economic realities and insecurity.

Kanu’s Conviction: At a Time Like This.
The news of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction should compel every well-meaning Nigerian to pause and reflect. This is coming at a time when our beloved nation is facing severe economic hardship, insecurity, and the consequences of poor governance.

Rather than reducing tension, this unfortunate development may well only aggravate it.
I have always maintained that Mazi Kanu should never have been arrested. His arrest, detention, and now conviction represent a failure of leadership and a misunderstanding of the issues at stake.

For years, I have consistently argued that dialogue, constructive engagement, and inclusive governance offer the path to lasting peace. Coercion becomes necessary only when reason has been exhausted. In this case, I submit that the reason was not only not exhausted, but was probably not explored at all, or not fully explored.

The concerns Kanu raised were not unheard of. The issues for which he demanded solutions were not insoluble. It only required wisdom, empathy, and a willingness to listen. In any functional society, such grievances are met with dialogue and reforms aimed at strengthening unity.

The government’s approach has only deepened mistrust and created an avoidable distraction at a time when citizens are overwhelmed by harsh economic realities and insecurity. While some may insist that “the law has taken its course,” leadership often demands more than a strict, mechanical application of the law. Nations around the world resort to political solutions, negotiated settlements, and even amnesty when legal processes alone cannot serve the broader interest of peace and stability. Nigeria is not an exception.

The handling of Kanu’s case mirrors the government as a man trapped in a hole but who, instead of looking for a way out, keeps digging deeper. It worsens not only the government’s predicament but also the nation's collective condition.

If we truly desire a new Nigeria - a united, peaceful, and progressive one, our leaders must choose healing over hostility, reconciliation over retaliation, and dialogue over division. Only by addressing grievances with justice, fairness, and compassion can we move towards a future where every Nigerian feels heard, valued, and safe.

My ultimate call at this time, without prejudice to how anyone feels about the decision of the court, is for us to be optimistic for peace and reconciliation which will come in the end. I am also saying, thereby, that the Presidency, the Council of State and credible statesmen who love this country and who are interested in cohesion and inclusivity, should rise to the occasion, for a lasting solution. -PO

Watching this event live on @channelstv, one can't but wonder: Why is the US Congress more concerned about the killings in Nigeria than we ourselves are? Why are they the ones asking the questions we won't ask? Why hasn't there been a public hearing organised by our @nassnigeria?

STOP the Bloodshed in this Land. Period.

What are all these silly Debates about, really?

Of what use are Governments that cannot protect their own people?

Of what use are “leaders” who do not value the lives of their people?

Of what humanity are people in power and our society who defend such failures?

Of what Future are a people who allow such evil to become normal in their country while they sit around to “debate” about the mass killings of their fellow countrymen, women and children to determine if it is really “Genocide”?

In 2015, they came for our Chibok daughters and several others, Nigerians sat around debating “Politics” while the parents of the girls cried in anguish pleading to “even be believed that they are not “scam parents”.

Those that believed them, joined their cries, stood in empathy to ask Governments to take constitutionally mandated effective actions for the girls’ rescue.

Our cries and demands fell on deaf ears and hardened hearts.

We cautioned that if Government failed to act decisively against the terrorists by allowing them to go unpunished, the inaction and absence of deterrence would embolden the organized deadly criminals.

What we cautioned against happened and in 2018, same terrorists abducted Dapchi School girls.

As predicted, Kidnappings soon escalated and morphed into an Industry with many families in this country becoming victims of the same losses, griefs and anguish that the ChibokGirls, Leah Sharibu and their parents were left to suffer.

More than 90% of the Chibok Secondary School girls that were abducted were Christians.

I for example did not know this until much later in the demand for their rescue and justice.

Sharibu was punished for being a Christian and not released along with her classmates when Government negotiated their freedom.

Yet, as kidnappings and killings escalated, rather than take responsibility and act effectively, Governments were more interested in unleashing all manner of assaults on innocent citizens who demanded for accountability and results.

I ask again, “Of what use are “leaders” and Governments that cannot protect their own people?”

Stop the silly debates.
Stop defending the indefensible.
Stop the irresponsible deflecting.
Stop the heartless indifference to the sufferings and injustices done to others.

There are no ifs, buts and whataboutism about the mass killings of Nigerians.

Just be human by imagining what it feels like to be in the line of vulnerability that historic, courageous and incredible Reverend Ezekiel and others have been calling all of us to see.

When your fellow humans tell you they are being targeted, learn to listen with human compassion.

The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.

Even a Lai Mohammed called it Genocide in 2023 when he was Minister of Information. Yes, the same Lai Mohammed that Nigerians know.

The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.

So what really is all the Debates about?

One more Nigerian does not deserve to be killed while our Governments do nothing. Period.

Be Human Beings for a change and stop “majoring in the minors”.

It did not have to take the insults and threat from Trump to wake up our Government to the Duty of Care it owes EVERY CITIZEN of Nigeria.

Again, Be Human Beings for Once.

STOP the Bloodshed in OUR Land.

Period. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

Some of you are speaking from a place of privileged

You don’t know what it means to see your family slaughtered with machete

What it means to be chased out of lands your ancestors passed down

What it means to never have slept properly for years because it could be you next.

[Inibehe Effiong @InibeheEffiong]

The fake love for Nigeria by people whose daily preoccupation on this app is to make excuses for politicians who are destroying Nigeria will always be ludicrous to me.

You want to extricate Nigeria from western and geopolitical influences, but you are working overtime to keep Nigerians In bondage.

You attack those protesting peacefully for accountability and good governance.

All that concerns you is keeping criminally minded politicians in power.

Your fake patriotism is meaningless to some of us.

[Pep Opara @pepprish]

They slaughtered so many people in Benue state- just a few months ago. For many days, the President said nothing and never bothered to visit.

The Roman Catholic Pope all the way from the Vatican City spoke about the Benue massacres before the Nigerian president said anything.

And eventually when the president visited Benue, he failed to go to the villages where the lunatic terrorists murdered people.

A useless government that treats human lives like toilet paper. You think the whole world was not watching.

[NeneGod the Rosary Girl (Nwa Chinemelu) @Stepharney]

“Religious freedom”… yet Deborah Samuel was burnt alive in broad daylight, and no government official of national authority spoke with outrage.

“Constitutional guarantees”… yet thousands have been killed in Southern Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, and Taraba with no decisive justice.
