@MobilePunch By the grace of God, 1 day.. we will make the minimum requirement eligibility for voting to be MSc. We will wipe out alot of hungry citizens away and shape this country. I can't see any other way this can be stopped in 100yrs to come.

[Engr Abba Tahir @profabbah]

@GuyMr10 One of the reasons I will really want the Nigerian Senate to make the minimum requirement for voting eligibility in Nigeria should be MSc.
Requirement to run for office should be PhD. Alot of people needs to be wiped out for some decades.

Why is it that Aliko Dangote, Abdul Samad Rabiu, and many other Hausa-Fulani businessmen went to Lagos, built billion-dollar corporations, created jobs, paid taxes, and contributed to the economy, but nobody stereotypes the whole North as billionaire businessmen who go to other places and build?

But a few bandits enter the Southwest, and suddenly Fulani people are profiled.

I bet there are disproportionately more Hausa and Fulani people in the Southwest chasing honest living than there are bandits anywhere else combined.

So why do we only generalize negative things?

[Bashir El-Rufai @BashirElRufai]

There are individuals in the South having children under bridges, many later turn out to be agberos, cultists & yahoo boys. There are individuals in the North getting married with no means to cater for those children, many turn out to be bandits & terrorists.

2 truths can exist.

[Ziyad Yakubu @Ziyad_yakubu]

The politicians from southern Nigeria need to be deeply studied.

In fact, a whole department in our universities should be set up just to study those people.

Because the way they have managed to convince many southern youths, some of the most intelligent youths in all of Africa, that their real problem is not the politicians who govern them, but “the North,” is almost a political miracle.

That the reason a pothole in Abakpa Nike is not fixed is because of Hisbah breaking alcohol bottles in Kano.

That the reason they have youth unemployment and underemployment is because of a Sharia court in Sokoto.

That the reason their electricity is unstable, state hospitals are weak, courts are slow, police are corrupt, refineries are not working, and local industries are dying is because the North is too religious.

Not the governors.

Not the senators.

Not the local government chairmen.

Not the contractors who collected money and disappeared.

Not the political families who have controlled the same states for decades.

Not the state assemblies that behave like extensions of the governor’s office.

No. The problem is somehow Kano Hisbah.

This is the genius of southern political deflection.

They have built a system where they can fail locally and outsource the blame nationally.

Meanwhile, the same southern politicians control budgets, collect allocations, appoint commissioners, award contracts, borrow money, tax citizens, control state institutions, and still somehow escape the anger of the same people they govern.

That is the part that fascinates me.

The North has many problems and deserves serious criticism. Nobody honest can deny that. But the way northern dysfunction has been turned into a universal excuse for southern elite failure is a political miracle, second only to democracy itself.

The governor no longer needs to explain why the roads are bad.

The senator no longer needs to explain what he has done.

The local government chairman no longer needs to show where the money went.

The people simply look northward and rage.

And the politicians smile.

As a southern youth, know this: every minute you spend shouting about Hisbah, Sharia, almajiri, or the north is backward, is one less minute spent asking why your own state budget keeps producing nothing.

Nigerian politicians have not only failed many of their people. They have also mastered the art of giving them a convenient enemy.

This is the oldest trick in politics.

Divide the people, make them suspicious of each other, then govern both sides badly while they fight over identity.

There is nothing I would want more than a coherent Nigeria.

Notice I said coherent, not uniform.

I am not talking about this fake “One Nigeria” slogan where everyone pretends we are one people, one culture, one worldview, one moral community, and one historical experience.

That is childish.

Nigeria does not need to become one tribe.

Nigeria does not need to become one culture.

Nigeria does not need everyone to eat the same food, marry the same way, worship the same way, dress the same way, or organize society the same way.

What Nigeria needs is coherence.

A country where different regions can govern themselves according to their values, compete with each other, cooperate where necessary, and still stand together as a serious bargaining bloc in the world.

Because in the international system, small fragmented African states will be eaten alive.

So we must ask ourselves whether we can build a political arrangement where our differences do not become a weapon in the hands of failed politicians.

And this is where both sides need to hear the truth.

If you are a southern youth and you believe the North must become exactly to your taste before you can accept it as part of the political arrangement, then you are not serious.

You may not like Hisbah.

You may not like Sharia courts.

You may not like how conservative northern societies are.

You may not like the way we vote, dress, worship, marry, or organize our communities.

Fine.

But if your idea of a working Nigeria is that Kano must first become Lagos, or Sokoto must first become Enugu, or Katsina must first become Port Harcourt, then you are not yet tired of the state of Nigeria.

A coherent Nigeria must allow Kano to be Kano, Lagos to be Lagos, Enugu to be Enugu, Sokoto to be Sokoto, and Rivers to be Rivers.

What Nigeria needs is restructuring that makes every region carry more responsibility for the choices it makes.

And this is where the North itself must also face its own contradiction.

It is not enough to say, “Leave the North alone. Let the North live by its values.”

That argument only becomes serious when the North also accepts the financial responsibility that comes with political and cultural autonomy.

If the governor of Kano wants to subsidize mass weddings for 2,000 couples, that is his right. But it will make more sense if Kano is generating the money for it.

If the governor of Sokoto wants to subsidize Hajj or support pilgrims, that is his political choice. But it will carry more moral weight if Sokoto is funding it from its own productive economy.

If the governor of Zamfara wants to negotiate with bandits, grant amnesty, or offer concessions in the name of peace, that decision should be borne mainly by the people and resources of Zamfara, not hidden within the comfort of national allocation.

If Kano decides it does not want alcohol sold openly in its society, that should be its cultural and religious right. But it becomes a contradiction when the same political system benefits from VAT and federal revenue that partly comes from products and lifestyles those same states publicly reject.

This is why restructuring matters.

It protects the South from blaming the North for everything.

It protects the North from being constantly insulted for choosing its own values.

And it forces every region to face the cost of its own political choices.

Because right now, Nigeria is structured in a way that encourages hypocrisy.

Southern politicians can fail their people and blame the North.

Northern politicians can defend cultural autonomy while depending on a central pool funded by economic activities they sometimes condemn.

A serious Nigeria should say: live according to your values, but fund the consequences.

Clarification on My Political Position

We have noted recent media reports and discussions suggesting a possible realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party.

In light of the misleading narratives in the public domain, I wish to state categorically that no final decision has been taken regarding my political future or that of my political associates.

The recent Supreme Court judgment, while affirming the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC), also remitted the matter back to the High Court. This has left the party in a precarious position.

In addition, the Federal High Court has recently ruled to delegitimise the party’s recent convention. The Attorney General of the Federation has also strangely applied to a Federal High Court to deregister the ADC.

We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous. The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty.

Consequently, like other major stakeholders, we have commenced wide-ranging consultations — including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests. We shall announce our decision in the soonest possible time.

On the issue of presidential candidacy, I wish to recall my consistent record as a committed democrat. In the 2014 APC presidential primary, I came second to President Muhammadu Buhari (whom I fully supported to victory), with Atiku Abubakar third, Rochas Okorocha fourth, and the late Sam Nda-Isaiah fifth. Similarly, in 2019, I contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North. I have always placed national interest and party unity above personal ambition.

Furthermore, the ADC is yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant. All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded.

My absence from the two recent ADC stakeholders’ meetings was due to unavoidable personal commitments. I promptly communicated my apologies to the party leadership.

We shall continue to engage constructively at all levels. Any definitive position on our political direction will be communicated formally through official channels at the appropriate time.

2027: Adamawa Political Heavyweight Binani Joins NDC

Former Adamawa governorship candidate and ex-senator, Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed Binani, has officially joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), marking a major shift in the build-up to the 2027 elections.

She was received in Abuja by NDC National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, alongside party leaders and the National Working Committee. Her move comes months after leaving the APC for the ADC.

Binani said her decision was based on the NDC’s focus on structured, policy-driven governance and the wishes of her supporters, whom she described as central to her political journey. She also pledged to work for the growth of the party in Adamawa and across the country, while calling for fairness, justice, and internal democracy within the party.

Welcoming her, Dickson described the NDC as an inclusive platform open to Nigerians seeking political alternatives. He announced that leadership responsibility of the party in Adamawa has been entrusted to her, urging her to build unity and strengthen party structures in the state.

He also made a wider appeal to women and political actors across the country to join the NDC, stressing the party’s commitment to inclusion and affirmative action for women.

Binani, a prominent figure in Adamawa politics who contested the 2023 governorship election on the APC platform, is expected to strengthen the NDC’s presence in the state as early political alignments intensify ahead of 2027.

EFCC's Troubling Revelation on Our Students.

The worrisome statement by the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that 6 out of every 10 Nigerian university students are involved in “419” is deeply troubling and must not be taken lightly.

Nigeria already has a very limited number of students in higher institutions, estimated at 2 to 2.5 million. If indeed about 60% of them, roughly 1.4 million young people, are involved in fraud, then we are not just facing a crime issue; we are confronting a serious moral and systemic failure.

The question we must ask ourselves is: what has brought us to this level? Who are the role models these students are looking up to?. What values are they learning from society?

We must understand that young people become what they consistently see. When a system appears to reward wrongdoing, when integrity is not upheld, and when those in leadership are associated with allegations of forgery and dishonesty without consequence, it sends a dangerous message.

It suggests that hard work does not matter, and that results, by any means, are acceptable. These points clearly point to a collapse of moral values.

As Socrates rightly said, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Nigeria must now examine itself.

This is not about condemning our young people. It is about accepting that leadership sets the tone. If we do not demonstrate integrity at the top, we cannot expect it at the bottom.

We must urgently rebuild our value system, enforce accountability without bias, and create an environment where honesty, hard work, and discipline are rewarded. That is the only sustainable path to securing the future of our nation.

A new Nigeria is POssible! -PO
