🚨Femi Azeez becomes the first Nigerian in 55 years to net a brace on his debut for the Super Eagles The last player to do so was Mathias Obianika in Nigeria's 4-0 defeat of the then Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso, in November 1971 He’s also the 62nd player to score on his debut

Great Oracle Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary.
APC and ADC have behaved poorly in the conduct of their primaries. Section 77(5) of the Electoral Act 2026 provides that only members whose names are contained in the register are eligible to vote in primaries

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.

Dear children, happy celebrations! As we honour you today, I reflect on the incredible talent, energy, and resilience you possess. You are not only the future of our nation but also its vibrant pulse in the present. Each time I look into the eyes of a child in Nigeria—whether in a classroom, a displaced persons' camp in Benue, or on the streets of Lagos—I see unparalleled potential. I envision future scientists, tech visionaries, leaders, and builders who can stand toe-to-toe with the world’s best if they have access to the right resources. The true measure of a nation's leadership lies in how it cares for its youngest members. It is unacceptable that countless children remain out of school, and that essential healthcare and safety are seen as privileges instead of rights. To transform Nigeria from a nation of consumption to one of production, we must begin by investing significantly in you. Leaders, parents, and educators, we must acknowledge that the best investment a nation can make is in developing its human capital, particularly through foundational education and healthcare. Failing to invest in our children today is akin to borrowing from our future. To you, my dear children: • Always keep dreaming: Your current situation does not limit your potential. • Remain curious: Engage in reading, learning, and adopting new technologies. The world is evolving rapidly, and you have the intellect to lead that evolution. • Take pride in your identity: As Nigerians, you embody resilience, brilliance, and the promise of greatness. We will continue our efforts to cultivate a new Nigeria—one where your dreams are recognised, schools are safe, and your future is assured. Blessings to all, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO

A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria @NGRSenate @HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE: DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY . To the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Vice President, the Governors of the 36 States, the Federal Executive Council, the Members of the National Assembly, the State Houses of Assembly, and the entire political class that has captured and destroyed the Nigeria State: Do not dare. Do not dare open your mouths on May 27 to wish Nigerian children a “Happy Children’s Day.” Do not dare release the recycled, ghost-written platitudes your media handlers have already drafted. Do not dare stand in front of cameras, surrounded by carefully arranged children in matching uniforms, to perform a tenderness you have never extended to the millions of Nigerian children you have abandoned, betrayed, and condemned to lives of suffering. You have no moral standing to wish anything to Nigerian children. None. Consider what you are dishonorably wishing them. You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 39 students and 7 teachers seized only days ago, on 15 May 2026, from a secondary school and two primary schools in Ahoro Esinele community in Oriire district of Oyo State- children aged between two and sixteen , snatched from the southwest in a chilling expansion of a terror that you swore would be confined to the north. You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 25 schoolgirls of the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Wasagu/Danko, Kebbi State, taken from their hostel at dawn on 18 November 2025, after gunmen killed the vice principal and most of whom are still missing as I write. You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 303 students and 12 teachers of St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, Niger State, seized on 21 November 2025 - children aged 10 to 18, boys and girls- whose abduction forced more than 20,000 Nigerian schools to close indefinitely . You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 287 students of the Government Secondary School in Kuriga, Kaduna State, taken by gunmen on motorcycles on 7 March 2024 in broad daylight while you and your political colleagues posed for swearing-in photographs. You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 15 children of Gidan Bakuso, Sokoto State, seized from their boarding school on 9 March 2024 as they slept. You are wishing to the Chibok girls- over 90 of whom are still missing, twelve years after April 14, 2014, while you have moved on, and for your repugnant luxury, speedily rebuilt and redecorated Aso Villa, bought opulent hideous cars, and rotated power among yourselves as if those girls never existed. But their parents who gave birth to them continue to grieve and daily rain curses on the evil leaders that have shown no empathy towards them and their abducted daughters. You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children of Dapchi, Kankara, Kagara, Jangebe, Afaka, Greenfield, Bethel Baptist, Tegina - and to the many whose abductions never made the headlines because Nigeria had run out of capacity to grieve. You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the at least 1,799 students seized in a dozen of the largest abductions since Chibok , and to the 670 children affected by at least 10 school kidnappings in less than two years - a litany of horror compiled not by your security agencies, but by international human rights organisations doing the work your government refuses to do. Part One ………..

Yesterday in Aba, we commissioned 14 newly completed road projects across Osisioma, Aba North, and Aba South LGAs. This milestone reflects our unwavering drive to reshape Aba and unlock Abia’s economic potential. The roads include: Aro Amano–Eke Aro Road, Adaelu Road, Geometric Road, Afule Road, Assemblies of God Church Road, Nwogu Ajagba Street, Nwala Street, Sacred Heart Street, Elizabeth Avenue, Nigerian Brewery Ring Road, Etche Road, Mosque Road, Crystal Park Road, and Kingdom Hall Street. These projects are designed to: * Improve connectivity * Ease traffic congestion * Support industrial growth in Aba On Geometric Road, I recalled its poor state not long ago. Today, it stands transformed, lined with industries and opportunities. Afule Road, built as a strategic bypass, will ease pressure on Aba–Owerri Road, while Adaelu Road showcases the speed and efficiency of our project teams. In addition, we flagged off construction of the first phase of the Aba Ring Road (4.9km) under the Greater Aba Development Authority (GADA). This strategic bypass will decongest Aba metropolis, improve access to neighbouring states like Akwa Ibom and Cross River, and further drive urban renewal and economic expansion. Each of these projects reflects our commitment to quality, with proper drainage, street lighting, and durability. As we mark three years in office, these projects are proof of growth and progress, opening new pathways to prosperity for our people. Aba is rising, and together we are shaping the future Abia deserves.

The Nigerian Civil War/Biafran War was fought in Igbo land for three years, yet BBCAfrica is producing a documentary directed by a Yoruba man titled "Surviving Biafra.' The Biafran war was not a Yoruba Experience. It was one of the darkest periods in Igbo history. Millions of our people died. Families were wiped out. Children starved to death. Mothers watched their sons disappear forever. Entire communities were destroyed. Businesses collapsed. Dreams vanished overnight. Till today, many Igbo families still carry the emotional pain and trauma from that war But honestly, beyond complaining about outsiders telling our stories, we also need to look at ourselves. Why are Igbos not investing more in movies, documentaries, media and storytelling? Why do we wait until outsiders pick up our stories before we start getting angry about how the stories are told? Yes, we are doing well in the aspect of books but books ain't enough. This is the 21st century and films, social media and the Internet rule supreme. At some point, Ndi Igbo need to wake up and take our history seriously. We cannot continue allowing other people to tell our stories while we stay quiet. We have so many powerful stories that deserve global attention. The story of Biafra alone can produce world-class movies and documentaries. The story of King Jaja of Opobo deserves a major international film. The stories of the slave trade in Igbo land deserve proper historical movies. The stories of our missionaries, traders, businessmen, inventors, and communities deserve to be shown to the world. But where are our filmmakers? Where are the Igbo nvestors? Where are the media companies willing to fund these stories? Other tribes and countries are using movies and documentaries to preserve their history and culture. They understand that storytelling is powerful. It helps people control their narrative and teach future generations. That is why Americans tell American stories. That is why Asians proudly tell Asian stories. That is why Europeans keep making films about their wars and history But many Igbo stories are still untold, ignored, or left for outsiders to explain Then later, when outsiders tell the stories in ways we don't like, we start complaining The gospel truth is that if you don't tell your story, somebody else will tell it for you Ndi Igbo need to support our writers, filmmakers, historians, and creatives. We need more Igbo-owned documentaries, films, books, archives, and media platforms. Because if we fail to preserve and tell our own history, other people will continue speaking for us and shaping the story from their own perspective. @Adaigboglobal

A teacher beheaded. 32 abducted. Three schools raided. In Oyo State. What was once the North's nightmare has arrived in the South-west. On May 15, terrorists raided three schools in Oyo State and kidnapped pupils, teachers — and a two-year-old child. Nigeria must wake up. premiumtimesng.com/opinion/editor…
