The believer is never without hopeeee 💖 We know exactly how this ends.

I'm sure of one thing. Peter Obi won't summon all the governors to the airport whenever he is travelling to come and wave bye-bye and expect them to line up for a handshake when he comes back. He will ask them if they are jobless.

After the blatant rigging of 2023 that brought Tinubu into power. Peter Obi came on National TV and said he would be with us every step of the way & from that day, he has been with us every step of the way. And you are wondering why he’s best suited to remove Tinubu? Lol.

Now a Disgraced Country Indeed Today, as the world marks World Health Day, we must pause for honest reflection. Nigeria, a nation of over 200 million people, continues to grapple with one of the weakest healthcare systems in the world. Our primary healthcare structure is almost comatose. We now record worse infant mortality outcomes than India, a country with a larger population, while health insurance coverage in Nigeria remains below 5%. These are not just statistics; they are a painful indictment of our priorities. Recent disclosures by the Honourable Minister of Health show that out of the ₦218 billion appropriated for healthcare capital expenditure, only about ₦36 million has been released. This is deeply troubling. At the same time, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has projected over ₦135 billion for legal expenditures. Let us reflect on this. The amount earmarked for election-related litigation is far higher than what has been made available for primary healthcare, the very foundation of a nation’s wellbeing. This is the same primary healthcare system expected to serve millions of Nigerians and support critical institutions such as: 1. University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City 2. University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar 3. University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada 4. University College Hospital, Ibadan 5. Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife 6. University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin 7. Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua 8. University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu 9. Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos 10. Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital, Kano 11. Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos 12. University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri 13. Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi 14. University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt 15. Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto 16. University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Uyo 17. Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria 18. Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki 19. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi 20. Federal Medical Centre, Yola These institutions represent hope for millions. Yet, they remain underfunded, overstretched, and burdened by systemic neglect. A nation that prepares more for electoral disputes than for the health of its citizens is a nation that has lost its way. We must begin to ask the difficult but necessary questions: What are our true priorities? What kind of nation are we building? And for whom? Healthcare and education are not optional; they are the foundation of national development. Any country that neglects them undermines its own future. Nigeria must urgently reorder its priorities. We must invest in the health and wellbeing of our people, strengthen our institutions, and build a system that works for all, not just a few. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Let us reflect, sincerely and without sentiment. In the past few days, the President has reportedly approved ₦3.3 trillion as a “full and final” payment for debts in the power sector. Yet, this is not the first time such approvals have been made. On May 17, 2024, ₦3.3 trillion was approved for the same purpose. On July 25, 2024, another ₦4 trillion bond was approved to settle similar debts. There have also been other approvals in between, all targeted at addressing the same power sector liabilities. This raises a fundamental question: were the previous approvals mere announcements without execution? ₦3.3 Trillion Again? Nigeria’s Power Crisis Without End During the 2023 campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a clear promise: that if he failed to deliver stable electricity, Nigerians should not re-elect him. Today, the reality is that power supply has worsened, to the extent that there are even discussions about disconnecting the Presidential Villa from the national grid. Each time legitimate concerns are raised, what we see appears more like policy pronouncements than measurable progress. Now, again, we are confronted with another ₦3.3 trillion approval to settle power sector debts. These debts were largely accumulated under successive administrations of the All Progressives Congress between 2015 and 2025. This raises serious concerns about accountability, transparency, and effectiveness in public financial management. It is important to note that government institutions and agencies, including the Presidential Villa owe a significant portion of these debts. Year after year, budgets were made and funds appropriated. Why then were these obligations not settled when due? And from what source will this new payment be made? Are we resorting once more to borrowing to service inefficiencies? Key questions remain unanswered: How did the debt accrue? What is the actual total debt in the power sector? Which components of the debts are due to operators’ inefficiency and should be borne by them? Why have previous approvals not translated into tangible improvements? Who are the real beneficiaries of these repeated payments? Is the ₦3.3 trillion approved on April 6, 2026, the same as the ₦3.3 trillion approved in May 2024, and how does it relate to the ₦4 trillion bond approved in July 2024? Nigeria must move beyond recycled announcements and confront the power sector crisis with sincerity, transparency, and decisive reforms. Until we do so, we will remain trapped in a cycle of debt and darkness. But with discipline, accountability, and the right leadership, a new Nigeria is still possible. -PO

I’ll start knocking children that kneel or bend to greet me Cause what’s the meaning of that !?!! I’ll shock you the way you’ve shocked me

Like please and please It’s enough nawww

Today we will be focusing on @BenuePoliceNG We are seeking for justice over ochanya’s sake #justiceforochanya Please help us bring the OGBUJA into books!

10 million to commence investigation!?! What a mess!

The Benue State Government tendered two conflicting autopsy reports. The same prosecution called a professor of Pathology from the Faculty of Basic Medical Science, Benue State University to duplicate one of the autopsy reports. - Inibehe Effiong, Legal practitioner, speaking on Ochanya Ogbanje's rape case #CTVMorningBrief

@afrotechbabe Putting it mildly

You’re actually ridiculous

REPLY TO WINIFRED OGBUJA Hello @Winifunds, It is offensive that you had the audacity to go on the record to trivialize your role in the exploitation of the late Ochanya Ogbanje. Ochanya’s family is particularly offended by paragraphs 4 and 5 of your statement where you stated as follows: “For clarity, in 2013, I was a student in boarding school in SS2 and had only just gone on vacation after my mock examinations. At the time, I was about 12 years old and was not present at the location where these events are being alleged to have occurred. This has been established in the course of legal processes.” “I did not witness any act of abuse as has been suggested in some narratives, and this position has also been reflected in the legal proceedings connected to this matter.” For the sake of unsuspecting members of public, the following facts are worthy of note: 1. Assuming without conceding that you were “about 12 years old” as at 2013, you became 17 years of age as at 2018 when your father, Andrew Ogbuja, and your mother Felicia Ogbuja were arrested by the Police and NAPTIP respectively. 2. No one asked you to give evidence while you were 12, as at the time of investigation, you were about 17 years old (again, going by your own assertion). 3. Winifred, claimed that she was about 12 years old in 2013. But, her younger brother, Victor Ogbuja, was about 20 years old and in his final year at the University of Agriculture in Makurdi as at 2018. 4. Victor was eventually expelled from the University following a report made against him to the University by NAPTIP. 5. You stated boldly that you didn’t witness any act of abuse and that this fact “has been reflected in the legal proceedings connected to this matter.” 6. Apart from the fact that a witness testified under oath at the Federal High Court in Makurdi that Winifred knew about the sexual exploitation of the late Ochanya, it is important to inform Nigerians that the mother of Winifred appealed against her conviction and lost. 7. In fact, the Court of Appeal made a very direct finding that Winifred knew about the sexual exploitation of Ochanya. The Court of Appeal in dismissing the appeal of Felicia, held thus at page 19 of the judgement: “The harm suffered includes not only the illnesses she suffered but also the abuse itself which affect her well-being, the conduct of the Appellant is highly condemnable to have allow such heinous crime to take place under her watch even when her own daughter brought to her attention the sexual exploitation of Ochanya she did nothing to protect the innocent girl who is now late as a result of the harm done to her. The Appellant I hold does not deserved any sympathetic consideration of this Court. 8. The Court of Appeal also found that your mother, your father and other members of your family made efforts to compromise justice. The Court found as follows at page 20: “In fact the Appellant, her husband and some of their family members made efforts towards that direction as they bought drinks and kolanuts to beg PW1, the father of late Ochanya that the matter be resolved within the family. See page 166 of the record.” 9. By law, a child who has not attained the age of 14 years is a competent witness in a judicial proceedings and can give unsworn evidence - “if in opinion of the court, he is possessed of sufficient intelligence to justify the reception of his evidence and understands the duty of speaking the truth”. However, “a child who has attained the age of 14 shall give sworn evidence in all cases”. See Section 209 of the Evidence Act, 2011. 10. At the commencement of the trial of your parents in 2019, you were no longer a child. 11. By the way, the exploitation lasted beyond year 2013 mentioned by Winifred. 12. The concurrent findings of the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal established that you had direct knowledge of the sexual exploitation of Ochanya. Evidence is attached. Stop dancing on the grave of Ochanya.

Apparently Winifred decided not to testify against her brother and father in court as the only witness to their crime against that girl. This is enough reason for people to call her out. If you protect criminals cos they are your family you are automatically complicit to their crimes.

As the solicitor to the family of the late Ochanya, I have been hesitant and very cautious about making public statements regarding this tragic case. However, people have been tagging and reaching out to me for clarifications. @Winifunds has very serious questions to answer regarding what she knows about the circumstances of the death of Miss Ochanya. I have attached certified excerpts from the judgement of the Federal High Court sitting in Makurdi, delivered on 28th April, 2022 in the charge filed by NAPTIP against Mrs. Felicia Ogbuja (Winifred’s mother). Mrs Felicia was convicted and sentenced to five months imprisonment for failing to protect the late Ochanya who was under her care. If you read page 14 of the judgement, you will see that Winifred’s name came up in the course of the proceedings. A witness testified under oath that Winifred caught her brother (Victor Ogbuja), who is still on the run, and reported to their father, Mr. Andrew Ogbuja. Based on what I know, Winifred refused or failed to cooperate with the investigators. She failed to make a statement regarding her role in the case. Efforts by investigators to get to her proved abortive. If she had cooperated, it would have likely had a profound impact on the quest for justice for Ochanya. That is all that I can say at this time.

raising a daughter to be a full person first is not raising her to be unmarriageable. it’s raising her to have a choice. and choice is exactly what makes certain people uncomfortable because the old system only worked when she didn’t have one.

That lawyer said Winifred refused to make a statement regarding the case. And her statement would have had an impact on the quest for justice for Ochanya because she caught her brother räpíng the poor girl.

A dark side to this story nobody's talking about is that Wini's father was our lecturer back in Benue and his major target were freshers, 15 to 17 yr old girls who newly gain admission. He was a very popular molester to the extent rumours said he used charm on all those girls. He's a very wayward man, always had an erection, and slept with his students under pressure. Many got pregnant by him and were forced to abort. I have stories for date but it's left for his victims to speak up and share their experiences, not me. His son specialised in targeting admission seekers promising them his father would give them admission, in exchange for sex. This whole family is demonic I can't go on.

I’ve been living through some of the best days of my life With the daily heart expansion and explosions, hard to imagine there’s more days ahead of this sort. The high-pitched laughter, soul-piercing stares and coos that I’m convinced I totally understand, absolutely nothing could’ve prepared me for the deep fulfilment I’ve felt in motherhood Grateful for this portion ❤️

The bar is so low that in 2026, we’re still discussing electricity as a campaign promise
