@abdullahayofel This one dey dream and he's very proud in dishing lies. Obi will flog Tinubu in South East. The kind vote he will get will shock APC because hunger don show people shege.
You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.
You had government backing and still couldn't convince enough people to back you in your small constituency..
You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident..
You spent 8yrs with the ex president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty stricken community..
We all have different trophies Bashir, I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs.
When a Government Declares War on the Truth
President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as ���a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.
The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.
The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.
As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.
Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.
During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.
What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?
The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.
Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.
@AnewNaija If you think Tinubu has set Nigeria back, I'm sorry to tell you that all your education was a waste. You should go back to your school and ask for a refund.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Peter Obi wasn't even justifying the deed of his driver but it's very obvious the came for him because there are so many other cars packed there and nothing were done to them.
Some of my Yoruba brothers are exposed how bigotry they are .
E funny as una remember law only when e favor una politics. If una truly hate illegality, make una use the same energy call out everybody, no be only people wey no dey your party. Selective justice and propaganda no fit cover una own wahala. Nigerians dey watch, and no amount of spin go change the facts.
Peter Obi got his presidential candidate from miracle center, he should publish his credentials and not afraid of debate with me — Minister Umahi fire back at Agulu man 🔥🔥👇
DG Adeniyi says the Chief of Staff asked him for ₦12.5 billion and the problem began when he refused to pay.
Under a govt serious about fighting corruption, Femi Gbajiabiamila ought to have been suspended to face investigation but unfortunately, his principal is no different.
Congratulations to all the African countries representing our continent at the World Cup. Your performances have made Africa proud.
Special congratulations to Cape Verde, a nation with a landmass of 4,033 sq km, which is less than 0.5% of Nigeria’s landmass of 923,768 sq km, and a population of about 550,000, which is less than 0.25% of Nigeria’s population of 230,000,000. For context, Cape Verde has about 200,000 fewer people than Ogbomoso. Yet, they reached the knockout stage of the World Cup.
Cape Verde has once again demonstrated that greatness is not determined by size or population, but by planning and disciplined execution. When systems work, even the smallest nations can compete with the best in the world.
Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup is not a consequence of a lack of talent. It is the result of years of poor administration, weak institutions, and leadership that has consistently failed to build sustainable systems.
This is the lesson for us as a nation: if we can get leadership right, strengthen our institutions, plan and execute properly, and reward talent over connections, Nigeria can become a global success story, not only in football but also in other areas.
A new Nigeria is POssible … and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
I was discussing it with a friend from the South South. He told me that Amaechi nomination as the ADC VP candidate has completely ended the NDC chances across the region.
I asked him; Some people are saying he no longer has a political structure.
He replied, Anyone telling you Amaechi cannot win the South South and secure 25% in some parts of the South East is not living in the region.
"Amaechi is currently the main topic of political discussion across the region."
Gbaja was the one who exposed the Prince Adeniyi scam.
Gbaja was the one who formally wrote to the police, requesting an investigation.
So how has the person who exposed the alleged fraud suddenly become the one expected to take the fall for it? That defies logic.
If Gbaja were truly involved in the scam, do you honestly believe he would sign documents that could be traced back to him and used as evidence?
Make Una dey try use Una brain.
Stop pretending to be stupid. There is a place for micro, small and medium sized businesses in any economy. A huge population of Nigeria are in poverty and micro businesses help them survive. As such, she wasn’t speaking to Tech Bros and the educated elite. Aparo Journalist.
