Abeg I have a question. All the people in ADC that Peter Obi’s presence washed their sins away (like Aregbe, Malami, Atiku and co), now that he has left them in ADC, are they back to being sinners or did the blood of the lamb wash away their sins forever?😭

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

Why is the highest court in the land which is the Supreme Court, referring a matter back to the High Court.

First Nigerian to play chess at the Louvre 🇫🇷-The world’s most prestigious museum.

The only thing you do consistently is to make bogus claims on people’s career without any sort of evidence. If you are not making attempt to taint First class students of one of the most respected Institution in the Country, you are busy defending fake JAMB Score. If you are not doing that, you will be posting innuendoes against judicial officers based on assumptions. This is not how to live.

Tunde Onakoya’s Chess in Slums initiative gets a lot of attention, but I’m not fully convinced about its long-term, measurable impact. Meanwhile, someone like Alex Onyia is building structured academic pathways through math Olympiad programs in the East, which directly develop skills that can translate into educational and career opportunities. The system built by Alex Onyia helped bring attention to issues raised around JAMB results and pushed the scrutiny of reported inconsistencies against the South East. He is part of the reason why the South East is No. 1 in education today. To me, real impact isn't about optics or social media moments. it is about creating systems that consistently move people forward, especially in education and capacity building. That’s the kind of model I find more compelling. If an initiative can’t point to sustained educational or economic outcomes, then it risks being more symbolic than substantive. What has Tunde Onakoya’s Chess in the slum initiative actually done for education in the southwest? Nothing.
