Media Literacy is being able to glance at this and instantly recognise that you're looking at an ad.

The Great Unwashed who have seen this ad and infested the quotes and comments with horny remarks because they don't realise that it is an ad are the same people who insist that their voices deserve to be heard because "democracy".

"Democracy" is the belief that the people who fall for engagement bait on Twitter or the ones who click on ads on pornsites and infect their phones with malware are qualified to make sovereign decisions involving nuclear weapons and global trade.

Sorry but fokoff.

Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President

I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.

While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.

Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.

The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.

No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.

The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.

A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.

A New Nigeria is Possible. PO

My Stance on Road Development

There is a pertinent reason I have consistently advocated that we should refrain from initiating new road construction projects until we have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network. Instead of undertaking new ventures and dualization projects that offer marginal benefits, our primary focus ought to be on repairing the critical roads already in place.

Consider, for instance, the Asaba–Benin Road. This thoroughfare is a vital artery within Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. Travellers traversing from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Cross River, Abia, Enugu, and portions of Benue and Kogi States to Lagos are compelled to utilise this route.

Despite its significance, substantial sections of this road are in a lamentable condition. It has become a major impediment, precipitating persistent traffic congestion and inflicting undue hardship on travellers, businesses, and transport operators.

Regrettably, this situation is not unique; it reflects the reality on many of our busiest national highways.

Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention.

Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.

Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.

Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).

A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.

Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths

Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

You've been hearing about the so-called "Olodo Uprising".

Here's a wider angle on this phenomenon to help you contextualise what you are actually witnessing, why it is happening and who is ultimately behind it (hint: it's not Peller - he's just a symptom!)

The Empire That Divided Africa Is Still Drawing Lines

America has once again shown us that democracy is only sacred when it protects white power.
Republicans in Louisiana have redrawn the state’s congressional map, reducing Black-majority districts from two to one and effectively weakening Black voting power. They call the old map gerrymandering, but the new one is, too. The only difference is that this version benefits white voters, so suddenly, it becomes acceptable.

This is not new. This is the same playbook the empire used in Africa. Draw artificial borders. Break people apart. Turn majorities into minorities. Fracture unity. Make movement and trade difficult for Africans, while the same people who drew those borders move freely across the continent. Whether in Louisiana or in Africa, the empire understands the power of a united people. That is why it works so hard to divide us.

US Shifts ‘Christian Persecution’ Narrative From Nigeria to Tanzania

After weaponising the “Christian genocide” narrative against Nigeria, and ultimately showing its hand with a policy proposal focused entirely on the country’s foreign alliances and resources as against any supposed Christian plight, Washington is now turning its attention to Tanzania. At a US Senate hearing on April 28, Republican Senator Ted Cruz accused Tanzania of suppressing Christians, despite presenting no concrete evidence.

The Spearhead’s feature-length investigative documentary titled “What Happened On October 29?” examines why Tanzania has suddenly become the latest target of this recycled US propaganda effort, the economic and geopolitical interests driving the campaign, and the complicit local actors. The documentary premieres in Accra on May 26, in Dar es Salaam on May 29, and in Nairobi on May 31.
