GENERAL YAKUBU GOWON AND POPE LEO XIV.

Only a few days ago Yakubu Gowon wrote and published a Memoir of his life in which he detailed his roles in the Biafra war, excoriating everyone but himself in what many consider a revisionist attempt by a man who was front-and-center and instrumental in the creation of the war, and superintended its heinous outcome.

Gowon exonerated himself in all the atrocities of that war, admitting little or no guilt or wrongdoing, and failing to apologize to what many consider to be the worse genocide committed by any group of people in the entire human race.

A few days after Gowon’s indignant display, The Pope of the Catholics boldly issued an apology to the victims of slavery; crimes committed hundreds of years ago in which the Catholic Church was complicit and culpable.

The Pope said sorry, but the all mighty Gowon has no contrition, no remorse and no shame for the dastardly acts he committed; that he planned, sanctioned and executed — the killing of millions of innocent people in Biafra.

The essential thesis of this short note, is that the most brutal acts of Gowon have become a watershed of his life, and that instead of its history being a soothing balm in the domain of the past, softening our memories, it has become a dangerously loathsome reminder of his past and the fetid outcomes.

Drawing a contrast between these two men and the institutions that they emerge from, I wonder how their dispersed actions might affect our consciousness … I wonder also if we could truly say without hesitation, that, “All is well with us, and that our children and their children’s children are well.”

The cycle of the crimes of Biafra, just like those of slavery have left deep scars on the victors and the vanquished, more so on the victims, and robbing us all of our humanity.

To remain truly human, no man can gain anything from the horrors, the pain and the suffering of those they oppress.
And, what must be most painful is to not admit our failure and refuse to repent, confess and seek restoration and restitution.

This is not a review of Gowon’s book - that job is in the domain of so many other writers and pundits.
It is also not a rebuke of the man himself, because that judgement is reserved for God in whose domain Gowon will soon be.

My advocacy is that we must TELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH always.

Let us abhor the diminishment and condescension of telling not the Truth.

Let us FEAR GOD.

The trauma and the tragedy of Biafra when told properly, will help to lay the foundation needed to ensure the truth and the future of our country by guaranteeing the evolution of our society’s prosperity and stability.

Okey Anueyiagu.

“This is the cry of a mother who løst her three kids due to careless driving. I løst my three children, aged 10, 4, and 3, and they are trying to sweep the case under the carpet. The Nigeria Police are not saying anything about the case. Every morning, my alarm still wakes me up to take my kids to school, but when I wake up, there is no longer a child by my side.”💔🥲

After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.

I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.

I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.

Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

I won the 2023 election and it was stolen from me. I will still win in 2027 but this time around they can't steal again — Peter Obi reassures in an interview today 18th April, 2026.
