When a Society Turns Against Its Own
Reports from Cross River State this week have brought to light a deeply troubling incident involving young boys who were tied up like animals and brutally treated under the label of “Skolombo boys.” These are not merely disturbing images; they are a stark reminder that we have failed the children of our nation.
These young people, often labelled “Skolombo boys” and “Lakasara girls,” are not criminals by birth; they are victims of a system that has neglected them. Children who ought to be in classrooms, learning and building their future, are instead on the streets, struggling to survive.
Today, Nigeria has over 20 million out-of-school children, the highest number in the world, which constitutes a national emergency.
A society that ties up and beats its children with machetes is one that has lost its moral direction. We cannot claim to be building a future while destroying the very foundation of that future - our children.
Even more troubling is the contradiction we now live with. In a country where we speak of rehabilitation and reintegration for “repentant” terrorists, how do we justify brutality against vulnerable children whose only “crime” is poverty and abandonment?
We must move from punishment to compassion, from neglect to responsibility. These children must be taken off the streets and given access to education, shelter, and structured rehabilitation. Governments at all levels should seek ways to protect and integrate them into society, rather than criminalise them.
This is not just about Cross River; it is about the kind of Nigeria we are choosing to build. We must do better. Our nation must protect the weak and the future of its people.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Perilous Era of Political Thuggery
Nigeria is descending into a perilous era of political thuggery under the current administration, where violence and intimidation are increasingly weaponized to suppress democracy and stifle political participation.
The recent attack on H.E. Rotimi Amaechi, a prominent opposition figure, and the brutal assault on his supporters during a political event starkly illustrate the deteriorating state of our democracy. The attack on Amaechi's convoy in Rivers State, the orchestrated burning of African Democratic Congress (ADC) offices, and the rampant disruption of political meetings nationwide are alarming developments that cannot be ignored.
The failure to arrest and prosecute those responsible for these heinous acts signals a grave danger—the steady erosion of the very foundation of democracy and the entrenchment of lawlessness by those entrusted to enforce the law.
If we do not confront this troubling trend with unwavering resolve, citizens will feel compelled to take matters into their own hands simply to exercise their democratic rights.
Nigeria cannot claim to be a democracy while political actors are endangered simply for expressing themselves, organizing, or attending meetings. A nation where thugs dictate who can gather, speak, or campaign is not practicing democracy; it is careening toward a brutal regime of political thuggery, aided and abetted by those in power.
We must unequivocally reject this descent into a democracy of thuggery. Nigerians deserve a political environment organized through competency, capacity, compassion,and commitment to the good of society, not one controlled by incompetence and thuggery. Democracy must be defined by the rule of law, accountability, competence, and the unrestricted participation of citizens in shaping their nation's future through political actions.
A New Nigeria is not just POssible; it is imperative, urgent, and achievable. -PO

Today in Banjul, following my engagement at the REFELA National Conference, I had the honour of also joining the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Community of Practice for Governance and Peacebuilding Conference, themed “Digital Governance for Inclusive, Transparent, and Accountable Societies.”
In my brief interaction with them, I sincerely appreciated the UNDP for the invaluable work of supporting governments across Africa. Many African States and sub-nations have benefited directly from UNDP’s expertise and support, and I can gladly count Anambra State during my administration as one of them.
Dr. David Omozuafoh, the Head of Regional Governance and Rule of Law of the UNDP told the conferees of the challenging moment of my first meeting with them when I was Governor of Anambra State. He narrated to the stakeholders how the UNDP had earlier left Anambra because resources they had provided were mismanaged by a previous administration, and how they initially declined working with me due to this bad experience when I first approached them.
However, after I sought an audience, we had a thorough and candid meeting where I transparently explained why Anambra needed assistance, why we were committed to reform, and how the stronger governance systems we put in place would ensure that every intervention would be used for the public good. I made them understand that our people deserved better, and that we were ready to be held accountable for results. I firmly promised that any support they provided would be transparently managed for the benefit of the people of Anambra, especially in the critical areas of development, education, health, and lifting people out of poverty.
After those discussions, the UNDP agreed to return and work with Anambra State. The moderator then noted that the outcome of that partnership was remarkable. He informed the conferees that Anambra eventually became the best-performing state in Nigeria in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) particularly in health and education. He added that Anambra State was then cited by the UNDP as a model for other sub-national governments, which led to my being invited to New York City to share and present our approach.
I encouraged them that we must continue to work together, governments, civil society, and international partners, to build societies where accountability, justice, and shared economic growth are the foundation upon which we build the future we want for our children and generations to come.
I still believe that a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Yesterday, 10th March, in Banjul, The Gambia, at the REFELA National Conference, themed 'Accelerating Representation, Safeguarding, and Strengthening Women’s Rights,' I had the honour and privilege to address the august gathering as both the Guest Speaker and Chief Guest of the occasion.
Focusing on this year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain,” I emphasised that the prosperity of nations is directly tied to how seriously they invest in their people, particularly women.
I reiterated a fundamental truth that nations that deliberately invest in human capital eventually gain stronger economies and more stable societies. When women are given equal access to education, finance, and leadership opportunities, they become not just participants but critical drivers of national development.
As Nobel Laureate in Economics, Amartya Sen, famously argued, billions of women are “missing” from economic transactions, and this exclusion is holding back the prospects of development in Africa and other developing economies.
For nations seeking lasting prosperity, particularly Nigeria, The Gambia and other African countries, the path forward must be aggressive, deliberate, and strategic investment in human capital. Prioritising education, healthcare, skills development, and economic inclusion for women and youth is the foundation for sustainable growth and development of any nation.
On this International Women’s Day, I thank the Mayor of Banjul, Hon Rohey Malick Lowe for the honour of inviting me, for the warm reception and for graciously hosting my team and me. I extend my sincere appreciation to the Nigerian community in The Gambia for the useful interaction we had.
I join all men and women of goodwill in celebrating women across the world, recognising their crucial and complementary roles in society. Now more than ever, women must step into public service and leadership roles.
By empowering women, fostering accountability, and prioritising education and skills development, Africa can transform potential into tangible progress, building shared opportunity for all. This is 'development as freedom'.

@RealQueenBee__ @StateDept @SecRubio @PeteHegseth @USinNigeria @IDF @Waspapping_ Thank you for your attention to this matter
English

I wish to bring the attention of @StateDept, @SecRubio, @PeteHegseth, @USinNigeria, @IDF, it is imperative that the United States and Israel investigate the persistent allegations of terrorism sponsorship in Nigeria.
The repeated assertions by this individual Sarki @Waspapping_ is leading a significant portion of the population in Northern Nigeria to believe that the United States and Israel are responsible for the insecurity in the Northern Nigeria.
Given this individual's prominent role within Hamas, disregarding this allegation could significantly damage the United States and Israel's reputation and endanger the lives of United States and Israeli citizens not only in Nigeria but also throughout the Sahel region.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this critical issue.

America created Boko Haram in Nigeria and continues to fund banditry in the northern part of the country, which has killed thousands of people. Today, they pretend to be fighting it. Biggest sponsors of terrorism in the world

Politics of Zero Humanity
It is profoundly disturbing that while we, the politicians, continue to obsess over the 2027 elections—spending our energy scheming about how to capture, grab, and run the next election—the first two months of 2026 have reportedly seen the killing of over 1,000 Nigerians and the abduction of several thousand others.
This is the painful reality confronting our nation. From Zamfara State to Kwara, Ondo, Kebbi, Edo, Benue, Adamawa, Plateau, and many other states, families have buried loved ones, and communities have been emptied by gunshots and fear.
In over 25 states across all geopolitical zones this year alone, there have been major violent attacks on innocent citizens, kidnappings by armed bandits, mass shootings, village invasions, and brazen assaults on worshippers and travellers. The scale of bloodshed and the number of deaths in just two months in Nigeria are even worse than what we see in countries officially at war. Yet the urgency with which we discuss these tragedies does not match the urgency of our discussions surrounding zoning formulas, party structures, and campaign strategies.
This is the tragedy of our politics.
We debate power sharing while citizens are sharing funeral programs. I watched in tears yesterday as families in the Doruwa Babuje community in Plateau State buried their dead after attacks by armed terrorists, but our media and leaders were focused on discussions about party issues and the 2027 elections, when we aren't even sure we will be alive to see it, given all the deaths happening in our country today. We strategise about 2027 while Nigerians struggle to survive 2026. This is inhumane.
We must elevate human life to a sacred status in our national priorities. Leadership is not about winning elections; it is about saving lives. We can, and we must, aspire to a Nigeria devoid of bloodshed—a Nigeria where governance is measured not by political dominance but by the safety and dignity of its people.
History will not remember how many strategies we perfected for 2027; it will remember whether we acted when Nigerians were dying. We must choose Nigerian lives over politics. We must put Nigerians first.

Translation of the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement in the image:
Saudi Arabia condemns in the strongest terms the brutal Iranian aggression and flagrant violation of sovereignty of the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan.
It affirms full solidarity, stands with these brotherly states, offers all its capabilities to support any measures they take, and warns of the dire consequences of continued violations of state sovereignty and international law.
Saudi Arabia calls on the international community to condemn these aggressions and take all firm measures against Iranian violations undermining regional security and stability.
English

Saudi Arabia just announced that it is prepared to join America in any capacity in the war against Iran.
For context, Saudi Arabia is the headquarters of Islam and the destination of every Muslim pilgrim.
Meanwhile, a certain Zubairu in Talata Mafara is telling you that the attack against Iran is an attack against Islam. 😂
