I know they are not your relatives but speak up for them.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Concerns About Deteriorating Security

Two weeks have passed since schoolchildren were kidnapped in Borno and Oyo States, yet they remain in captivity. Meanwhile, the government is promoting the formation of a thousand-member rescue team through the media while the children continue to suffer in the wilderness.

Today, the security situation across the nation continues to deteriorate. On Sunday, terrorists killed at least seven people and injured ten others in Gwon-Ajang Village, located in the Foron District of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

In Kogi State, armed assailants kidnapped over 25 individuals and killed one resident during a coordinated raid on the Ayegunle-Igun Community in Kaba-Bunu Local Government Area. These heavily armed attackers carried out their operation in a commando-style manner, terrifying residents in the early hours of Monday.

In Anambra State, we also mourn the loss of two police officers who were killed in a bandit attack.

We still remember the painful incident in which armed individuals targeted three schools—Community Grammar School, Yawota Baptist Nursery and Primary School, and L.A. Primary School in the Ahoro-Esinle Community (Oriire Local Government Area near Ogbomoso)—and kidnapped 46 people, including 39 students, seven teachers, and the school principal.

On the same day, between 48 and 51 pupils and students in the Mussa Community (Askira-Uba Local Government Area) were abducted by suspected Boko Haram insurgents. The victims, who included young children from nursery classes as well as primary and secondary school students, were taken on May 15, 2026, and have now remained in captivity for two weeks.

Meanwhile, amid all these tragic developments, we politicians remain consumed by the next election, paying far more attention to political ambitions than to the safety and well-being of our children and fellow citizens.

In a nation that is not at war, the ongoing insecurity that endangers schoolchildren signifies a profound and serious challenge. -PO

“If it was Seyi Tinubu they kidnapped, he wouldn’t spend 2 weeks in the bush before he is rescued.
If it was Seyi Makinde’s children that were kidnapped, they wouldn’t spend 2 weeks in the kidnappers’ den before they are rescued. Bring back our children”

— Protesters’ leader says

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

The NUT shut down Ikeja Lagos. They shut down Ogun State. Teachers are demanding the immediate release of our children. There is a protest in Port Harcourt. Power belongs to the people. Their authority is what you say it is.

#BringBackOurPupilsAndTeachers

If you can see this tweet, please know that your social media pressure is important.

Terrible news and the horrible state of governance can be depressing but please don't get tired of speaking up.

On here, we are truly the 4th arm of the government.

Online pressure works.

[Mr Psquare @PeterPsquare]

The way I’m about to start speaking out on insecurity and bad governance in Nigeria, all these N3k sponsored attackers better get ready. If una wan cancel me, make una line up well. Cos me to I DONE FALL OUT!🙅🏽‍♂️

[Davido @davido]

[Oyo Affairs @Oyoaffairs]

Watch the moment the husband of Mrs. Rachael Alamu, the principal abducted by bandits in Ogbomoso, breaks down in tears while pleading with Governor Seyi Makinde, who visited Oriire LG, to hasten the rescue operation for his wife and others.

[NASIRU @iamnasboi]

Any artist, actor, content creator, or influencer who stays silent about the insecurity and suffering in this country simply doesn’t care.
When it’s time for their projects, albums, movies, shows, or campaigns, reciprocate that same energy.
Ignore them.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

Children are sleeping in the forest this night having been flogged with iron and gun.

This is not right!

[Mr Buchi @ST_BUCHI_]

Dear @TonUP_io @OfficialAPCNg please, pay the terrorists you guys brought into Nigeria during 2014-15 election whatever you owe them so they can stop killing Nigerians and dashing the hope of so many families. As was confessed by Alhaji Kawu Baraje, you guys brought Fulani terrorists from sahel in 2014, to destabilize Nigeria and make it ungovernable for the then president, GEJ. Now that you're in power, please pay them whatever you owe them.

Nigerians can't be dying like fowls.

“This video is a plea to all Nigerians. Our voices are not loud enough because not everyone is speaking about this issue. I watched the video of the kidn@pp£d Oyo schoolchildren and teachers yesterday, and it brøke my heart. They are trying to distract us so that we do not speak with one voice because they know that once everyone starts speaking out, the pressure will be too much to ignore.”

— Spyro publicly appeals to Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and many others to lend their voices about the kidn@pped schoolchildren.
