Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
BREAKING: A new investigation by Channel 4 reveals the consistent targeting of Christians by Islamists in Nigeria.
Nonstop massacres and the world does not say a word.
Turkey is coming to Nigeria to build a jihad training facility, not a military training facility as announced by the government. Nigerians, open your eyes. Sheikh Gumi is an Islamic terrorism supporter who suggested that the Tinubu government should partner with Turkey for security. Gumi will never support the killing of jihadists. Open your eyes.
My secondary school classmate was kidnapped in Ekpoma, Edo state alongside three of his friends on Easter Sunday. On the 9th of April three of them were released leaving the kidnappers with just scott(my classmate). Reason being that…..
I'm angry.
You can call me names but I don't give an eff.
If you are supporting Tinubu, you are evil and it's God that will p*nish you.
In this my setting, I've heard a patient brought in dead to me after jumping into the well because of depression.
People are struggling to pay for essential healthcare services like basic injections, CS and oxygen.
I've had babies die in my arms because parents didn't come quick to the hospital because of funds.
Everyone is groaning under this insane hardship.
Many homes are broken.
Many peoples futures have been jeopardized.
Thousands of businesses have folded up.
Thousands have dropped out of school.
Even doctors are dying anyhow.
We can't even afford the healthcare we offer.
Many of us treat our families off the books to cut cost.
There's unimaginable hardship in the land.
The country is not safe.
You can't travel far without informing half your family incase you get kidnapped m
The road is bad and people die of road traffic accident everyday.
Kidnapping is now a booming nationwide industry.
Yet our useless leaders are splurging on luxury like no tomorrow.
The president is a frog faced evil baron that doesn't care.
Flying around and spending billions on frivolity.
Then some bastards are still trying to push this evil party down our throat.
Brainless people.
Dear Nigerian Medical Association @nationalnma
Are you aware of the allegations that Dr. Ogbomade Samson Romani was beaten up by patient relatives and now he's dead
Is his death going to be one of those deaths we only reference?
When is the @PoliceNG going to bring his killers to justice?
In the last three weeks we've lost three doctors.
A consultant to lassa fever.
A resident to a pregnancy complication and now
A house officer to patient assault.
Nothing on the timeline.
Nothing on the news!
No freaking outbreak!
And I'm not surprised.
A thousand doctors could die and people would move on as if it's normal.
We put our lives on the line but nobody gives a shit about us, as our lives is being treated as expendable.
Something has to give.
I understand that everyone has the freedom to support anyone they like.
But we also have the freedom to judge people by the choices they make.
For instance, anyone can declare they are Nazi and they love Hitler.
But if they do so, the world will judge them because it's morally bankrupt to love Hitler.
Tinubu is a horrible president.
Anyone that declares loyalty to him must be seen as a morally bankrupt individual or possibly insane.
VIEWER DISCRETION‼️ Since no one including the Vatican will pay attention, Plateau women are now protesting naked to draw attention to the incessant genocidal, industrial scale killing of Christians in Nigeria.
The kind of horror these Christians are subjected to in the hands of Islamic terrorists, makes hell feel like a resting place.
As you watch this, remember to save this date as the when I predicted that Nigeria is being irredeemably cursed by unclad, grieving mothers who symbolically clutch their breasts and hit their wombs, to signify un-atoneable vengeance. No nation survives a CURSE this gigantic. Go ask Sudan.
February this year Dr. Ogbomade Samson Romani a House officer at Delta state hospital management agency was beating up by patient relatives.
The young doctor suffered from a tympanic membrane rupture and other complications following the assault, since then he has been repeatedly falling ill and the hospital he worked never offered him any care until recently when he slumped and was rushed to the ICU.
His assaulters were never arrested and the association only went on strike following another assault that occured last week Saturday because management sees assault as a norm.
A WhatsApp Necrology telling us how he was a hardworking doctor shouldn't be the end of this painful demise, the healer should not be killed by those he devotes himself to healing, Dr Romani deserve justice, his assaulters should be made to face the wrath of the law.
