“When the nation is bleeding, you can’t expect a polite meeting with the Head of State. We need to let him know. And his reply is that the nation is not bleeding. We told him the economy is not helping the poor people. He said economy is doing fine. Practically speaking, he told us quite clearly that he does not agree with us.”
Cardinal Onaiyekan shares details of the Catholic Bishops meeting with President Tinubu.
Let your churches feed you.
That's why you are a member. Before I became president, there was hunger. I don't have control over the population. This is a statement from Tinubu, a sitting president 💔
Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President
I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.
While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.
Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.
The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.
No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.
The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.
A New Nigeria is Possible. PO
Tinubu Has Pulled Off The Scam Of The Century Unchallenged 🙆🏾♂️
Do you know that fuel subsidy did not go? Do you know Tinubu just changed the name to “Energy Security Expenses,” fooled Nigerians, and made us start buying fuel for 10 times the price?
Evidence is HERE! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Peter Obi didn’t just speak about unity, he practised it. As Governor of Anambra state, his Commissioners of Police were Northerners, and his ADC was a Muslim. He chose competence over ethnicity, character over religion, and service over division.
A Peter Obi–Kwankwaso ticket is more than a political alliance; it is a unifying and healing ticket for Nigeria. It represents a country where competence overrides nepotism, where religion doesn’t determine opportunity, where tribe doesn’t limit potential, and where merit and hard work are rewarded.
That’s the Nigeria we must build. #NigeriaWillBeOK
KALU OKORONKWO: "How does a man repeatedly branded “stingy” leave behind a trail of multimillion-naira donations to hospitals, nursing schools, universities, humanitarian organisations, churches and community institutions across Nigeria? How does someone immortalised in Nigeria’s political folklore by the phrase “I no dey give shishi” emerge as one of the country’s most consistently documented private supporters of healthcare and education? It is a paradox that challenges conventional political narratives."

“Tinubu won the election and went into hiding in the Aso Rock bunker, while sending people to talk to us. He should come out and talk to us. We didn't vote these characters talking to us.”
- Peter Obi.
This is my best part of Obi’s fiery interview. Will Nigerians listen?✍️
Of all the Nigerian Presidential candidates, only one candidate has actually visited South-Africa to know what the actual hell is going on there with our people there.
That’s Peter Obi
If we highlight these things, they will say we are playing politics.
I hope Nigerians know by now that Obi’s only offense is that he wants to wrestle power from the political establishment and hand it over to the people. It is you they hate not Obi.
The new tax law will be implemented completely by next year. Be ready to be losing your hard-earned money to fund their luxurious life.
Voting Tinubu out is the only remedy!
Why the voter registration exercise should be extended.
As we continue to encourage Nigerians to participate actively in our democracy, I respectfully appeal to INEC to consider extending the voter registration window to the latest practical date that still allows adequate time for the preparation of a credible voters’ register before the 2027 general elections.
Every day, more young Nigerians attain the age of 18 and become constitutionally eligible to vote. They are not just our future; they are stakeholders in our present. It would be unfortunate if many of them were denied the opportunity to exercise their civic responsibility simply because the registration process closed long before the elections.
Moreover, this position is legally supported by the High Court judgment delivered on 22 November 2022 in Anaja Salmat & 3 Others v. INEC (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022). In that decision, the Federal High Court held that voter registration should continue until 90 days before a general election to protect the constitutional voting rights of eligible Nigerians.
I appreciate the enormous responsibility placed on INEC to deliver free, fair, and credible elections. I also recognise the need for sufficient time to clean the register and make the necessary logistical preparations. However, our electoral process should, as much as possible, maximise participation rather than limit it.
A democracy is strengthened when every eligible citizen has the opportunity to be heard. I therefore urge INEC to adopt a registration timeline that protects the integrity of the process while ensuring that no eligible Nigerian, especially our young people, is unnecessarily disenfranchised. -PO
