Between August 2024 and July 2025, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency attended to 8,692 cases, and is currently averaging 400 cases per month. Guess where it’s happening? Your estate. Your place of worship. Maybe your street. Abuse thrives in silence. 0-8000-333-333 SGBV - It Concerns Us All!!!

You can easily see how empty His head is once he is not in a room filled with his Party Sycophants clapping after Every 2 sentences… 😭😭🙄🤣

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

Governor Amuneke is loved by all

Prime, Netflix left Nigeria. TikTok, Instagram doesn’t pay Nigerian creators because low priority, guess why? Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pay way less per Nigerian viewer. Roll outs, perks, only get to us after years of creators in other climes enjoying them. There’s no light. There’s no regulation of rent. Data tariff increases depending on the network provider’s mood. Fuel is 1300 per liter. Fuel has become lighter, evaporates quicker. 5 liters of 2022 is not same as now. But yeah!!! Bring your tax. File your tax! I won’t give you job but if you create one for yourself, I still won’t make it easy for you because I’ll make sure bulk of your money goes to rent payment and electricity. And things will also get ridiculously expensive because $1 is 1450 naira. But yeah, FILE YOUR FUCKING TAX!!! We pay VAT per online transaction. We pay VAT per light purchase. We pay VAT per every purchase or transaction. But hold on… FILE YOUR TAX!!!! And no matter what ridiculousness that happens, we swear that the “next one” that will “definitely” be our tipping point. Bloody hell!

happy international women’s dayyyy remember that the goal is includinggg womennnn not creating a new thing for us every march x

Beyond all the buzzwords and platitudes today, I hope we all take some time out today to genuinely inquire and listen to the women in our lives about their experiences. Without defensiveness, without internalizing and without deflection.

On Sunday is International Women's Day. If you're a woman, say what you need in the comments, and a woman will meet you at the point of your need.

blessed to have my sister in this life. there’s peace in knowing that someone exists who absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, loves you, likes you and is on your side. my sister really, really likes me and it moves me to tears every time.

Jenny glow, god will judge you for not doing NAFDAC registration 😭

Everyone is so desensitized to rape that they are trying to make us believe false accusation is a greater crime and it’s more rampant than rape.

I was 19, when a lady told me that her father slept with her. He slept with all his daughters. And her mum knew about it. Yes, you read that right. Almost every woman I have encountered in my 41 years on earth has been sexually assaulted. If you don't believe me, ask the women in your life or around you. Simple. How can an entire gender be sexually exploited by men accross decades or centuries? When will this rubbish stop? Yet, you say women are angry or bitter. If you are tired of women being bitter, angry or rude, then LEAVE WOMEN ALONE! How hard is it to LEAVE WOMEN ALONE!

Women are raped everywhere. Women who have taken all types of precautions are raped. Women who are dead are raped. Women with trusted people are raped. Infants are raped. Children are raped. Yet, there are still questions of what you ‘did’ to be raped.

The festering Boko Haram attacks on the North East and massacre of innocent citizens is concrete proof that Nigeria has no government

He who finds a wife should leave other girls alone, Nobody force you to marry!!!!!

a cycle of consideration. excitement & safety — the freedom to share dreams, failures, and accomplishments. just one long, never-ending conversation, carrying each other (not as a burden) through life. that’s it.

If I expand on your tweet and I'm seeing eight paragraphs. I'm not reading all that bullshit abeg. Twitter is for brevity, no matter how much blog space your blue tick got you. Take that shit to substack or medium. Lmao

Could you do me a favour and retweet this once you see it? First look at our gorgeous film, Onobiren. In cinemas from March 6, 2026. Preorder tickets from January 30. Learn more at Onobiren.com

And to the Nigerian Senate!!! My goodness!!! You people are so useless! We have a senate that sings “on your mandate we shall stand” Swearing allegiance to the President you are supposed to be checking and balancing??? You can’t even summon the President and ask questions on behalf of the people of Nigeria that you ought to be representing!! But they know how to share our money (prayers) to their mail boxes and oppress Nigerians with the same power the people have given to them! Embarrassing lots!!!
