@NikkyHolla @PeterObi So you're saying Tinubu doesn't know what he's doing, correct?

This sounds emotionally compelling, but it leans more on optics than substance. Peter Obi is reducing leadership to physical presence, as if visiting a tragedy scene is what solves insecurity. In reality, decisions around such visits are often based on security intelligence and logistics, not indifference. Leadership is measured by actions taken, not just appearances. There’s also a pattern of selective outrage here. These strong statements tend to come when it’s politically convenient, which makes the concern feel less consistent and more strategic. More importantly, the post offers no real solutions. It highlights pain which is valid but says nothing about how to fix the problem. That’s the gap. Criticizing Bola Ahmed Tinubu is easy, but proposing clear, practical steps to address insecurity is what truly defines the leadership you are talking about

Leadership Without Compassion is Not Leadership During his visit to Benue State in June 2025, Bola Ahmed Tinubu stopped at the Government House but did not go to the actual scene where innocent Nigerians lost their lives. Similarly, yesterday in Jos, his engagement ended at the airport instead of at the affected communities. What happened in Plateau yesterday highlights a complete absence of leadership. True leadership requires presence, empathy, compassion, and a willingness to meet people where their pain truly lies. For citizens who have just lost loved ones, homes, and their sense of safety, being addressed from an airport tarmac is profoundly inadequate. This approach exacerbates the sense of abandonment already felt by innocent Nigerians who have endured repeated cycles of violence without meaningful protection or justice. Plateau deserves more than distant words; it requires urgent action and a clear commitment to ending the insecurity that continues to claim innocent lives. In such moments, leadership must not only be visible but also tangible—standing with victims, listening to survivors, and acknowledging the depth of their grief. If we truly desire a better Nigeria, we must demand leadership that is present, responsive, and responsible at all times. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

To celebrate the close of 2025, we published a look back at some of the breakthroughs, products, and scientific milestones that defined this year as one of relentless progress. Here are 3 examples (+ find even more in the link below): 1. Advancements in science and mathematics (AlphaFold, DeepSomatic, AlphaGenome, and beyond) 2. Tackling global challenges and opportunities at scale (FireSat, AlphaEarth, WeatherNext 2, etc.) 3. Empowering creativity and co-creating with AI (Nano Banana, Imagen 4, Veo 3.1, and more) Here’s to another year of advancing the AI frontier together! #collaborations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">blog.google/technology/ai/…

@PeterObi I remember there was a witness from AWS in the presidential court trials, and they testified that all AWS servers were up and running that day. So where is the glitch from, definitely man made. We ignore important things like this and yet expect the country to move forward.

Reflecting on the 'Coup Glitches' in Guinea-Bissau On Thursday, November 27th, I arrived in Abuja early in the morning after attending a productive meeting at the European Parliament. To my distress, I learned that our former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was caught up in the reported coup situation in Guinea-Bissau. I immediately reached out to him, and he assured me that he was safe. I was further relieved to hear that he had returned safely to Nigeria. I listened carefully to his press briefing about the incident. Dr. @GEJonathan, who was in Guinea-Bissau as an election monitor, noted that the so-called coup appeared suspicious—especially because it was the president himself who announced the coup and shared details with the international community. What makes the situation even more striking is that the election was reportedly peaceful, with the only remaining step being the formal announcement of the results. It is safe to say that while Nigeria's own election was marred by a "technical glitch," the election in Guinea-Bissau seems to have suffered from a "coup glitch." Yet, to this day, no one has clearly explained the nature of Nigeria's glitch. ECOWAS was quick to sanction Guinea-Bissau, but what does ECOWAS do when democracy is subverted not by soldiers, but by technology? What is the punishment for countries that announce 'glitches' at critical moments during an election? Do we only condemn coups that are visible with guns and ignore those carried out through a designed technical failures? By addressing these issues constructively, we can work towards a New Nigeria and a more stable and democratic West Africa. Together, we can ensure that the will of the people prevails and that our elections reflect the true desires of our citizens. The Guinea-Bissau scenarios represent two faces of the same crisis: one where ballots are discarded by force and another where ballots are obstructed by convenient technical issues. In both cases, the people suffer, democracy is undermined, and the region sinks deeper into instability. The outcome remains the same: the citizens are denied their mandate. True democracy can only thrive when transparency and accountability prevail, and when the voice of the people is respected, not interrupted by glitches or coups. A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO

Today I came across a problem where I had to use the `createPortal` function, I have forgotten that such exists in react 🤠

When Those Who Save Us Are Not Safe: The Abduction of Dr Mbanugo While still urging our government to engage the American government - through diplomatic means and otherwise - in helping us contain the rising wave of insecurity ravaging our nation, which has sadly made Nigeria one of the most insecure places in the world, I wish once again to draw attention to areas that require our immediate and collective action. The kidnapping of Dr Tochukwu Mbanugo, a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, shortly after an intensive day of saving lives in the operating theatre, including the successful removal of a complex brain tumour, is deeply worrisome. His abduction is not just an attack on one man; it is an attack on our already fragile healthcare system, and on the hope of millions of Nigerians who depend on the selfless service of our few remaining specialists. In a country of over 200 million people, we have fewer than 150 neurosurgeons - meaning there is approximately one brain surgeon for every 1.9 million Nigerians - where the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends at least one neurosurgeon per 100,000 people. This enormous gap highlights the sacrifices and pressure our doctors face daily, and the severe consequences of insecurity, which continues to drive many of them away. We must ensure the safe and immediate release of Dr Tochukwu, and I urge the security agencies to act swiftly. No nation can develop when its brightest minds live in fear. We must protect all, especially those who dedicate their lives to saving ours. -PO

Cross-border payments don’t have to be slow, expensive, or stressful. That’s why I tried @BoundlessPay, a digital bank on your phone that bridges local payments with Web3. And now, with @solana integration, it’s even faster ⚡️ and cheaper 💸. Here’s my experience 👇 A Thread 🧵

@AdeHardemola @PeterObi It's a pity so many people die every day not of natural course and many people like you are normalizing death, we just count deaths in numbers these days and one death now seems meaningless to people like you.

@PeterObi Seems you have a death bell that rings every time someone dies. You are always ready to drop condolences.

Rest in Peace, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu I am deeply saddened by the tragic and untimely death of Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu, a brilliant young anchor with Arise News, who was killed in the most painful circumstances during a robbery attack in Abuja. At only 29, Somtochukwu had already distinguished herself as a gifted broadcaster and trained lawyer whose voice engaged, informed, and inspired many. Her loss is not only a personal tragedy to her family and colleagues but also a huge blow to journalism and to our nation, which continues to lose its brightest to insecurity and violence. This heartbreaking incident once again highlights the urgent need for us as a country to prioritise the safety and security of every citizen. No Nigerian should go to bed fearful of what the night may bring, or lose their life in such senseless ways. My thoughts and prayers are with her grieving family, the Arise News family, and all who mourn her. May her soul rest in peace, and may we, as a nation, work harder to build a country where lives are valued and protected. -PO

I had to cancel my wedding for this event.

This is gold 🪙

Today, I with Dr @YunusaTanko , Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour Vivour @GRVlagos and Segun Adebanjo visited President Obasanjo on a courtesy visit. Thereafter, we visited the new Olubadan of Ibadan kabiyesi Oba Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja. In both visits, we were fortunate to discuss the state of our nation and how all of us can live in unity, love, fairness and justice progressively together. The meetings make me believe that coming together of a competent team with capacity, compassion, and commitment to build a new Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
