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

This is emotional talk. We didn't fund African liberation movements out of an emotional sense of African solidarity - it was necessity. We needed to help decolonise the continent in order to be able to become a stronger country with more diplomatic leverage. No matter how bad our situation is now, can you imagine if we were part of an AU or AfDB with fellow member states called "Rhodesia" and "South Central Africa" which are ruled by white people? The worst we can get from modern African states is casual disrespect, which doesn't kill. If we were still a 3 hour flight away from countries with access to modern technology where black people are not allowed to run for president, Boko Haram would be child's play compared to what we would be facing. Funding African independence movements was a pragmatic move that was in our own self interest, the same way that the premise for the wider Pan-African project is not that people from Mozambique or Kenya are supposed to love or respect Nigerians - it's that the cold, hard mathematics of our situation demand that if we want to survive in a world ruled by ruthless people whose ground freezes solid for 6 months every year, we have to work together and aggregate our competitive advantages into a continental civilisation that cannot be destroyed. That's literally all that Pan-Africanism is - it's just basic math and common sense. Emotions have nothing to do with it.

They'll keep extending this shit 😂

@TheUsmanLawal Our state is very much dead, those guys are just looting the state to oblivion

Apart from salaries there's nothing Ododo is doing again upon all the billions coming to Kogi State.

@ChikwenduEmykar Amen

Thank you, Lord for keeping things running smoothly. #Newweekblessings.

@sassco19 Good morning

Good morning mutuals It’s a good day to be alive and beautiful

@Icevishimself_ Gm shiny

@the_janetnoah Because I love it now and always

@luckysol54 😁😁😁 why?

Radiography and Radiation Science or Medical Laboratory Science and why?

@TheUsmanLawal Who's FGYB?

I promise you, if FGYB were to contest in Kogi West, a landslide victory would almost be inevitable.

@Shaibu_AO 9k

How much is a crate of egg in your area?

@aproko_doctor 😂😂😂

Someone just called me a "human systems engineer"

@TheUsmanLawal Kogi is bleeding, literally

Lugard House right now feels less like a seat of power and more like a comfort zone for underperformance. The painful part? Kogi is not lacking in potential, it’s drowning in leadership that refuses to translate vision into action. #RescueKogi

@Icevishimself_ Guy you dey 7k now now 😂

@Icevishimself_ As how now 😂

@Shaibu_AO Interesting times ahead 😂

Na you know how u go caption am o 👀

@TheUsmanLawal Honestly

If not for these inept nincompoops in Kogi State Government House, I promise you this banter wouldn’t even exist. You’d be asking us for tips on how to govern.

@Abab_Jr I don't think they know

Does the MDCN know that in the UK they have consultant radiographers, who function with a high degree of autonomy, often performing tasks traditionally handled by medical doctors?

How do we even have 2D or 3D photos of the presidential villain, isn't that a security threat?

New week Thank God for life

@ybYoungBoy__ You even see 200 😂

Omoh I still dey 200 followers since 2024😭
