Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity

I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.

I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.

It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.

To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.

No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.

I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

Lol there will be no revisionism.

The truth is that the smoke reached the South b/c the North refused to put out the fire. We don't get to look down South & smirk, "it's finally happening to you,"to say that requires a level of blindness we can no longer afford.

The Northern establishment spent yrs coddling this crisis. How many people even admitted there was a "Northern problem" in the first place? For a long time, the strategy wasn't to confront the rot, but to mask it under the guise of political correctness & regional solidarity using religion as a mesh.

There's no form of insecurity in the North that didn’t find a significant Northern bloc of politicians, clerics, & natives defending, justifying, and supporting it. We literally watched active, decisive attempts at destroying Boko Haram get sabotaged from within under the banner of "you're killing our brothers."

Ironically, Southerners were often some of the most vocal voices sounding the alarm against Northern insecurity. They understood a fundamental truth that our leadership chose to ignore : you cannot be part of a single body & watch a limb rot with gangrene, expecting the rest of the organs to stay safe. Eventually, the sepsis spreads to the heart. We are in "SIRS" now.

The Northern elite silenced the alarms and coddled the arsonists. We are not going to pretend even for one second about this reality because if we do, we will not find any way forward.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

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

Nigeria Is Bleeding From Within

It is deeply troubling to read recent World Bank reports indicating that, while Nigeria’s Federation Revenue surged to ₦84 trillion in just three years, a staggering 41% —amounting to ₦34.44 trillion —never reached the Federation Account. This sum exceeds the combined ₦34 trillion earmarked for capital projects in the 2024 and 2025 Appropriation Bills, a comparison that underscores the gravity of the situation and signals that something is fundamentally wrong.

This is not a mere oversight; it points to institutionalised corruption on a massive scale. In 1994, when the Okigbo Panel reported about $12.4 billion from the Gulf War oil windfall as unaccounted for, Nigerians were outraged and the nation shook with indignation. Today, an even more troubling situation appears to be unfolding, yet it is met with a disquietening silence.

We are trapped in a lethal paradox: Earning more as a nation, yet having less to invest in healthcare, education, and infrastructure. From 2025, systemic “deductions” have allowed agencies to capture more resources than entire states and even critical ministries.

These leakages explain why countries with fewer resources are out-performing us across key development indices. With such a broken system, how can we fix power, strengthen our schools, build resilient healthcare, or develop critical infrastructure?

Nigeria has no business being poor. We must stop these leakages through disciplined, transparent leadership driven by character. It is time to redirect our hijacked resources back to the people and move Nigeria into the league of developed nations.

With our collective resolve to change this corruption-infested system, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[iOccupyNigeria @iOccupyNigeria]

THE RECEIPT HE CAN’T DELETE.

Nigeria purchased it with state funds as a national asset, but Tinubu made it a family affair. It is meant to be a Nigerian vessel, but he flagged it in the Marshall Islands to avoid Nigerian oversight. The money is supposed to come to the Nigerian treasury, but it goes to his personal accounts through Mauritius.

Every single day, an estimated $16 million (₦25 billion) in national wealth is siphoned through this parallel economy by Bola Tinubu. Small Problem: He forgot about the paper trail.

From the Bight of Benin to the Maltese mixer to the Mauritius laundry, after a painstaking investigation, we have the full map of the biggest oil heist in Nigeria's history, all being run from Aso Villa by Bola Tinubu.

Watch this space. The full forensic exposé drops Monday morning. The ghost is about to speak.

Only him had used deep poverty to cure problems

Fuel queues — gone. because he took fuel drive from 160 to 1400 in just 3 years. Let’s see if your father can afford it let alone queue for it

ASUU strikes — gone. He captured the agency, dissolved all bodies, took away educational fundings. Within 3 years, most schools had more than 300% increase in school fees. Poor man dropping from school. Yet no one could speak for them because he destroyed all the agencies that can speak before hitting them with pain

State bankruptcies — Worsening. We just kept borrowing more and more WITH NO RESULT. Before, if govt borrows, they’ll try to do something for citizens before stealing the rest. This one steals with impunity. Award 3.3 trillion to power (the same) project 3 times in 3 years with nothing better.

Electricity — people now pay more than 300% increase for the same uselessness. An average Nigeria can’t even guarantee a 12 hour electricity in a day. With all the money said to have been pumped in this sector. This is a big shame.

Insecurity — Worse than ever before. Now police don’t even interfere in kidnapping again. They just ask you to pay ransom.

Private sector exits — Worsened. Almost all companies had exited Nigeria
NGX decline — Naira had gone all time low. He took it from about 400 to 1400. More than 300% decrease

Food inflation — so bad than a Tiber of yam has to be cut in slices for Nigerians to be able to afford it.

I didn’t even know how much of a failure this man is until I realized you didn’t even have anything good he did to campaign.
This is the Worst President ever in the history of Nigeria. We all should be angry and ensure he doesn’t see that sit again

[Elliot @elliot_solution]

A Nigerian man was working as a cashier at a DIY (hardware) store in London.

He was caught letting his wife steal £200 worth of materials.

Both convicted.

One year later he was arrested again.

This time at Euston station with another man’s stolen credit card.

Convicted again.

He returned to Nigeria.

And he ran for governor of Delta State.

Nigerian law said you cannot run if you have a criminal conviction.

He forged his date of birth on his passport to hide his UK record.

Nobody checked.

He won. 😂😂😂

His official salary as governor was $25,000 a year.

He bought six properties in London. A mansion in Johannesburg. Properties in Washington and Houston. A private jet worth $20 million. A Bentley. A Maybach. A fleet of armoured Range Rovers.

His American Express bills showed he spent tens of thousands of dollars every single month on luxury hotels, clubs and shopping.

In 2007 Nigeria’s anti-corruption chief accused him of stealing $250 million from Delta State.

Ibori offered the EFCC chairman $15 million in cash to drop the case.

The chairman pretended to accept.

Then deposited the cash at the Central Bank.

Nigerian courts still acquitted him on all 170 charges.

He ran. Escaped to Dubai. A mob of his supporters fought off the police trying to arrest him.

Interpol caught him in Dubai.

The UK extradited him.

In 2012 he pleaded guilty in a London court.

The judge called the £50 million he admitted to stealing “ludicrously low.”

He was sentenced to 13 years.

Served half.

Returned to Nigeria in 2017.

A sitting senator was in the crowd that welcomed him home.

His name is James Ibori.

Nigeria never convicted him once.

Let me state it here for the benefit of those who dont know: it takes a country at least 25 years to produce a General in the army. This is aside the financial and other investments the country will have to make to get a General.
A country like US or Russia will declare war if any of their active general is killed in another country, talk more in their homeland.
Earlier this week US spent more than $500 million to rescue their colonel trapped in a mountain in Iran war, mind you a colonel is less than a Brigadier General.

Gout Gout was at Ipswich Grammar School to play soccer. He had never trained as a sprinter. He was twelve years old, wearing sand shoes, and somebody told him to line up for a race at the school carnival.

The kid next to him was wearing spikes. He had won nationals.

Gout left him in the dust.

His classmate Tyson Walker was in the race too. "Everyone there stopped and watched," Walker recalled. "We had GPS athletics the next week and he broke every record and just didn't stop. He's just kept going faster."

A coach named Di Sheppard saw him run that day. She told him he could be an Olympic medalist. He later said it was the first time anyone had ever told him anything like that. He was twelve. He joined her squad and started training twice a week.

Here is where the story gets strange.

At 14 he ran 10.57 in the 100m, the fastest ever by an Australian under 16. At 15 he broke the national U18 200m record. At 16 he clocked 10.04 in a heat, then 10.17 legal in the final, then woke up the next morning and ran 20.04 in the 200m, breaking Peter Norman's Australian record from the 1968 Olympics. That record had stood for 56 years. Usain Bolt saw the footage, posted a photo, and wrote "He looks like young me."

The Bolt comparison is worth sitting with. Bolt didn't race 100 meters professionally until he was 21. His first professional 100m was 10.03. Gout Gout ran 10.00 flat at 18.

And his coach still only puts him in the gym two days a week. She's managing the fact that his body is still growing. The power phase of his development hasn't started. He is running these times on stride length and raw top-end speed alone.

His parents are Dinka, from South Sudan. They fled to Egypt, then to Australia, two years before he was born. Third of seven children. The family name was misspelled during transliteration from Arabic. It was supposed to be Guot. His father has been trying to change it back because "gout" is a disease name.

The kid kept running.

Brisbane 2032. Home Olympics. He'll be 24, the same age Bolt was when he set the 100m world record in Berlin. Adidas already signed him through that year.

The fastest man in Australian history started in sand shoes at a school carnival. Nobody told him to stop.

Nigeria has lost 3 commanding officers in just one week to Boko Haram and ISWAP attacks in Borno.
In the last 3 months, 7 commanding officers and a brigadier general have been killed.

Meanwhile, ₦2 billion was giving to Boko Haram.
That money could have bought 88 armoured trucks for the soldiers fighting them.
