What Our Pervasive Insecurity Requires: A Holistic not Reactive Approach.

In a hasty effort to be perceived as attentive and courageous, it is reported that President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of about 1000 forest guards for Oyo State. This is a further demonstration of poor leadership and attending to very serious governance and security issues with a reactive approach. It is the same reactive approach that led to the sudden removal of fuel subsidy and floating of the Naira that has caused irreparable damage to ordinary Nigerians and the economy.

While recruiting more security personnel for Oyo state and the country is important, it should be done in a more organised and well-thought-out manner. Presently, almost all the 36 states in Nigeria are experiencing different forms of insecurity, with Oyo, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Borno, Katsina, Anambra, Niger, Imo, and Sokoto being very alarming.

The question, such as the reactive approach of our President, is whether all the states will receive the same approval to recruit 1000 forest guards per state, that is 37, 000 forest guards for the 36 states and Abuja or is the recruitment approval based on the mood of the President? Moreover, with the approval for Oyo, what will happen to the Amotekun Corps that is trying its best to secure South-West Nigeria?. Will they be disbanded in Oyo state?

The pervasive insecurity we currently have is directly related to the failure of our ecosystem, particularly leadership. It is only failure in leadership that can lead to the death of over 10,000 innocent Nigerians since 2023, and Nigeria is ranked among the top-most terror-affected countries in the world.

Addressing our insecurity situation requires a holistic or what can be described as an ecosystem approach. With failure in leadership, there is failure in unifying our dear nation, failure in industrialisation, failure in harnessing our abundant resources in agriculture, minerals, tourism, water, sports and even oil and gas to effectively generate required revenue, growth and particularly jobs for our exponentially growing youth population.

A New and Productive Nigeria will be POssible, and we will be OK! -P0

Rev, you don’t know what Peter Obi wants from political parties — I do.

Grab a coffee and I will explain — it’s a long one.

It’s clear to me, and anyone who is paying attention, that Peter Obi is laser-focused on being president. Full stop.
He wants to lay a foundation upon which this country will begin the recovery of its soul.

PO sees everything else as a distraction or performative.

By the way, he doesn’t need to prove himself anymore. He won the last election and will win the next one — but I digress.

A close watcher of the man will see that he is channelling precious energy and resources towards making sure that he wins again and that his mandate is not stolen a second time.

Energy is finite. Wise people pick their battles.
Fighting random proxies like Lamidi Apapa to prove a point is useless in the extreme. Committing the enormous time and energy required to prove that he can hold a political party with willpower alone when courts are in the pockets of APC is like urinating on a rock just to prove that wet rocks glint in the sun.

Political parties as is currently constituted is a cage that he must work within. So to make sure his name is on the ballot, the man has to tear up the rule book you, and the undiscerning are judging him by.

Pause for a moment and acknowledge that the data points you’re using to judge Peter Obi today is after the fact.

Let’s do a thought experiment.

Imagine it’s the night of 23th May, 2022, days before the PDP primaries:

- Your name is Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi.
- Your brand is that you will never pay for votes.
- You already know that tens of thousands of dollars are greasing the palms of delegates.

Answer honestly.

What would you do?

Would you in your craziest thoughts imagine that moving to Labour Party, a party that doesn’t appear even as a footnote, is a remote option?

Would you fancy your chances with 9 months to prepare for an election?

Would you dare slog it out alone without anyone of note in your corner?

What would be your assessment of a person’s concern for your wellbeing, were they to suggest such madness?

Your answer (and mine) is very simple, unless you’re lying to yourself.

“Oga just go home, you don try. As you no dey give shishi, Nigerian politics is not for you. Even if you get shishi to give, you can’t outspend Atiku and Wike.”

But what did Peter Obi do?

He moved to Labour Party and reignited hope in young hearts up and down the country.

He read the mood of the people and mapped out a path and a campaign plan that he executed flawlessly.

A man who has that level of insane belief in his abilities is who you flippantly speak about instead of humbly taking notes?

People forget that Peter Obi’s appeal is not a random act of nature. It derives from an intentional life — painstakingly built over 6 decades to withstand the type of pressure that will forge diamonds.
So when you say, offhandedly, that he has a large following, do well to remember that he earned it! His followership didn’t fall from the sky. He earned that shit!

Now tell me this, what would you do if the umpire and your opponents are in the same WhatsApp group?
It is most unwise to loose a second of focus playing by the rules that they invent to keep you running around in circles. Reminds me of a clip I saw once of a cat chasing laser shone on a wall.
If they set up the rules so that instead of fighting them, you are chasing a sliver of laser, you refuse, you flip the rules or you don’t play at all.

Is it not instructive that the arguments you have about his relationship with political parties are the same as Wike and the APC (the trap setters) use against him? That should give you pause.

Finally Rev, instead of marvelling at a man dodging bullets like Neo in the Matrix, you sound unhappy that he isn’t standing still and taking the bullets in the stomach like a real man.

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@GloWorld I took out the SIM card to put in a phone to recharge, but same problem; the recharge of 16k has wiped off!

[Tolu Kehinde @tolusacks]

@GloWorld First of, Glo Café has been absolute crap this past few days, and that’s putting it mildly.
Secondly, I recharged 16k on my MiFi line, the amount initially showed on the Glo Café; how did the entire money wipe out and I’m only seeing N100?

I have a surgery scheduled. My chances of survival are 30%.
I have the choice of two doctors.

Doctor A laughs and jokes with me. Empathises with me. Explains everything clearly and charges a fair amount. He has been investigated endlessly by envious competitors and has passed every time with flying colours. His success rate in this type of surgery means that my chances are improved to 60%. He believes in anaesthesia.

Doctor B talks and laughs with other doctors, never with me. He sends nurses to talk condescendingly at me and belittle my fear. His charges are outrageous. The fee structure is so opaque that the only thing I’m sure about is that the man has left room to charge me even more.

There are rumours that his current name isn’t even his original name. That his certificates may have been forged, and every time the matter is brought up, he sends an army of lawyers to stop inquiries.

Court documents show that he forfeited money in Togo for organ harvesting before settling in Nigeria. He wasn’t indicted, though, so that’s up in the air.

Last year, Doctor B left a pair of scissors in my cousin’s stomach, and he died of sepsis soon after.
To be fair, the medical examiner conducted a thorough investigation and cleared Doctor B of any wrongdoing. The examiner swore on the Quran and the Bible that his friendship with Doctor B didn’t influence his report in any way, and that the brand-new Prado Jeep Doctor B bought him was purely coincidental.

Also, Doctor B became chief medical officer by sending thugs after his rivals (allegedly), so the fact that he is chief based on competence is a shaky proposition.
In fact, Doctor B “matter too long”, so let’s stop here; but you must know that he thinks that anaesthesia during surgery is for crybabies.

Now the choice is not entirely mine. My friends and family must have a say before the choice is made. They are the ones who will help me pay for the surgery, you see.

Of course, it’s a no-brainer. It’s not even a real choice, right? I don’t bother to tell my folks who to choose. I mean, duh!

So today, I put my affairs in order. In my head, I have 60% odds of survival - not the 30% advertised. Thank God that such a brilliant doctor as Doctor A refused to migrate to Canada and make an absolute shitload of money. Instead, he is here in Nigeria helping common people get world-class medical care.

I am all set to be put under. I put on the hospital gown, get loaded onto a gurney, and am wheeled into the theatre only to see Doctor B standing there. He wears a mean grin and a weirdly coloured surgical gown that seems to exude unprovoked animosity.

My heart sinks. My mind races in confusion. I think it’s just a nightmare. So I shut my eyes tight to squeeze it out of my reality, but my eyes open to Doctor B still standing there with a bevy of nurses chatting away as if I wasn’t in the room. As if I were an interruption to their important debate about who wrote better songs between Davido and Wizkid.

Doctor B says, in a lazy, bored way, like a spider speaking to a fly caught in its web, “I hope you know that I don’t allow anaesthesia in my surgery.”

I am too stunned to speak, so he continues, “This is going to be extremely painful. That’s what pain receptors are for.”

What the hell does that even mean?

I shoot a horrified, confused, questioning look at my mother behind me as the theatre doors begin to close.

“Why?! Mama. Why?!” Sickness and betrayal make my voice raspy and weak.

My mother blocks the twin doors from closing. She wants to make sure I understand their decision, seeing as it is possible she will not see me again.
She doesn’t want me to leave this world thinking that she and everyone who is supposed to love me hate me instead.

“My son, I know you have questions. But trust us. We can’t bear Doctor A touching your insides. He is not from our place. Not like Doctor B, who is a son of the soil.”

Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.

During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.

I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.
