PRESIDENT TINUBU GOES ON HOLIDAY AGAIN
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again left Nigeria for another holiday, this time beginning a three-week vacation in Europe.
Nigeria is in deep crisis. Nigerians can barely afford food and transportation. Insecurity is ravaging communities, and thousands of children are unable to access education because of insecurity.
Just days ago, about 600 Nigerians, predominantly women, children, and the elderly, were reportedly abducted during Juma’at prayers in Niger State.
Yet, at this critical moment, the President has left the country for another holiday.
According to reports, government expenditure on presidential trips and related travel expenses between June 2023 and April 2026 amounted to about ₦37.64 billion, with the President spending approximately 261 days outside Nigeria.
Meanwhile, only ₦36 million was reportedly released to the Federal Ministry of Health in 2025, despite a capital allocation of ₦218 billion, in a country of over 230 million people.
This is the calamity befalling our country today.
A government that can spend tens of billions on presidential travel while critical sectors remain starved of funds, and Nigerians are asked to endure worsening hardship, must not be allowed to continue.
Leadership is about priorities.
When citizens cannot feed their families, move safely, access healthcare, send their children to school, or sleep peacefully in their homes, the President should be more concerned about fixing the country than repeatedly leaving it.
I look forward to a Nigeria where our President can vacation in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Cross River State, Bauchi, Ebonyi, and many other destinations across our country.
The President of Nigeria should be the chief marketer of Nigeria as a tourism destination, as other comparable countries do.
Imagine the economic possibilities if our leaders, celebrities, business communities, and citizens travelled within Nigeria more frequently.
Tourism creates jobs. It supports hospitality, transportation, agriculture, entertainment, crafts, and small businesses. It brings investment and foreign exchange and allows communities to benefit directly from their natural and cultural assets.
We cannot continue to export our wealth and import our pleasures while our own enormous potential remains neglected.
We deserve leadership that puts Nigeria first; leadership that cares and plans for a better Nigeria. That is the kind of leadership that the partnership between H.E. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and me will bring.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, has warned that its informants and agents could be targeted and assassinated if it makes the alleged drug trafficking record of Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu public.
The FBI issued the warning in a court filing while responding to a Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, lawsuit before Judge Beryl Howell of the US District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington, DC

A ‘man of God’ in Nigeria is charging men money to link them up with women on his website.
Pastor is asking someone to pay 700k naira for link up with women and ‘access to pastor’. How is this different from what pimps do?

"People are being killed and deprived of their basic rights yet you want to continue as President. Tinubu Wallahi talahi you are going no where."
An Islamic Cleric laments.
@ziter001 A new Nigeria can only be made possible by someone who has conquered greed and that is HE Peter Obi. Vote Obi/Kwankwaso! Vote NDC. Nigeria will be OK
By Making Excuses for Unverified Certificates, We Are Planting Poison in the Soul of Our Society
A nation that tolerates unverified academic credentials at any level of leadership, regardless of who is involved, risks destroying the very standards upon which a society is built. The issue is not about an individual. It is about standards, accountability, and the values we choose to pass on to the next generation.
We cannot continue to excuse blurred, missing, questionable, or unverified credentials simply because they belong to someone we support. The process through which people attain positions of responsibility matters greatly. How we get into leadership is as important as what we do with leadership.
If we normalise the abandonment of basic verification today, tomorrow we may have professors who never attended a university, doctors who never studied medicine, and judges who never studied law.
That is the dangerous precedent we must never allow. Nigeria cannot sacrifice its future on the altar of today's transactional politics. We must build a society where truth is not partisan, standards are not negotiable, and accountability applies equally to everyone.
History will judge us not only by those we defended, but by the principles we were willing to defend. We must choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiments, and the future over political expediency.
A New Nigeria is possible, but only if we are willing to do the right thing, even when it is inconvenient. -PO
'I Never Said Military Should Reject Salary Increase'.
I wish to address a recent
report that falsely attributes a statement to me, suggesting that Nigerian soldiers should refuse any salary increments until after the elections. This assertion is entirely untrue.
My profound respect for our security forces, particularly the Nigerian Army personnel who diligently serve and protect our nation under challenging conditions, is unwavering. I have consistently advocated for the adequate provision of equipment, motivation, and protection for our security personnel.
My concern was palpable when soldiers were lost to insurgents due to a delayed rescue effort, prompting me to question how those defending us could be left vulnerable in their time of need.
Should I be elected President, the well-being, resources, safety, and honour of our soldiers will be a paramount priority. Those who ensure Nigeria's security must never be relegated to a secondary concern. Our soldiers are deserving of our utmost respect, unwavering support, and a government that will unequivocally stand by them. Under my leadership, scenarios where our servicemen and women are left unprotected in the face of peril will be eradicated.
I implore the Nigerian populace to dismiss this misleading report. I remain committed to articulating a clear and consistent vision for a secure and prosperous Nigeria. The realisation of a new and secure Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO
Students from the South East are very intelligent. I learned that the hard way myself.
I still remember when my family transferred me from my school in Port Harcourt to a boarding school in Anambra State.
I got there and started looking down on the other students. In my little mind, I believed my IQ was higher than theirs because I felt I came from the city, while they lived in the village. That mindset made me very overconfident.
Because of that, I didn’t put in as much effort as I should have.
Back in my school in Port Harcourt, I usually finished around third position in my class, so I was sure I would do well again.
Then the end-of-term results came out.
I checked my report sheet and saw 31st out of 46 students. My eyes first blur! 🤣
I was like, “Huh?!”
I got home and received the scolding of my life.
The next term, I put in much more effort and moved up to 13th position. 😭
I never saw 3rd position again until I graduated from that school.
I can boldly say that, from my experience, students from the South East are exceptionally intelligent and hardworking. Igbo people have one of the fastest IQs in the world.
In summary: Excellence can be found anywhere!
How can Nigeria have someone as our President with
📍No proper birth certificate
📍No primary school certificate
📍No secondary school certificate
📍 Questionable University certificate
📍 Forfeited $460,000 from proceed of drugs to the US Government.
📍How can you get employed into the Nigeria Public Service without the above documents?
📍How can Nigeria blessed with people of high intellectuals elect such a person like TINUBU?
📍How can the Yoruba nation blessed with Professors and great academicians gave us such a person with questionable character like TINUBU?
Aren't we ashamed as a country?

BREAKING: Chukwuebuka Enekwechi is the Commonwealth champion!🥇
He won gold in the men's shot put at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a 21.07m throw in the fifth round to claim the title.
Just in case you don’t know:
When the South African xenophobic animals were conducting barbaric rampages attacking and killing innocent Nigerians (and other African immigrants) in South Africa,
Tyla NEVER issued a public statement or explicitly spoke out against these violent xenophobic attacks by South Africans. She NEVER condemned it at any time.
Yet some of you compromised cursed bastards are making excuses for someone who doesn’t even think the life of your fellow Nigerian is worth a simple public statement. You are brainless and stupid, just incase you are not aware.
Anyway just as her lunatic countrymen have said, which she never condemns, Tyla should please go beck to her kantry and stop trying to take the jebs of our musicians.
“Before I was born, there was hunger in this country”
— Bola Tinubu.
“We are in a critical situation. If the President can speak like this concerning the country, then it raises serious concerns about the direction of leadership.”
— Ayo Mairo-Ese, reacting to the President’s remark that hunger in Nigeria existed before he was born.
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP
As a Muslim, I have a question for my own community.
Why do we demand freedom to build mosques, preach Islam, and wear the hijab in non-Muslim countries...
Yet in some Muslim-majority countries, churches are restricted, Christian evangelism is criminalised, and converts live in fear.
If religious freedom is a right for us, it is a right for everyone.
Truth does not need censorship to survive.
Peter Obi visited churches during the 2023 electioneering campaign. Unfortunate Nigerians like Deji Adeyanju has been using it to campaign against Peter Obi, claiming Peter Obi is playing religious politics.
Now that Tinubu is giving money to churches and mosques, they are all quiet. Deji is now deaf, dumb and blind.
They took light at the federal high court in Abuja this morning keh😭💔…. Listen to what people started saying after light went off inside the court premises 😭
