As far as the 2027 Nigerian presidential election is concerned, Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi remains my preferred candidate among the frontliners. My position is not anchored in certainty of victory, but in a firm belief in the quality of governance he could offer if given the mandate. My responsibility, therefore, is simple: to contribute, in whatever capacity I can, towards the realization of that outcome. No equivocation. No prevarication.

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

Sections 63, 138 of Electoral Act Dangerous Will Sabotage Voting at Polling Level - Igini Section 63 of the 2026 Electoral Act has reintroduced something very dangerous: a ballot paper used for the 2027 election that does not bear INEC’s official manufacturer and security features may be accepted by the presiding officer. By implication, the presiding officer has been given the discretion to accept ballot papers notwithstanding the absence of the official mark, and to count such ballot papers. What that means is that politicians who have access to INEC’s serial and security features could produce their own ballot papers. Mike Igini, Former INEC Electoral Commissioner

I constantly look up drug doses, guidelines, referral pathways etc A Doctor’s google search, is different from a random search on a topic from someone who doesn’t know what they’re looking for. If you have Doctors that never look stuff up - that’s a bigger concern!

@ShaunLintern The plain truth is that resident Drs are not expensive to train. We take a cohort of the smartest people in the country and they give us 24/7 service doing complex work with great skill for poor pay. It’s just that we - the people of the UK - want that service on the cheap.

Most people assume that if the NHS needs more specialist doctors, the Government would train more of them. But that’s not actually what’s happening. The Government can decide how many specialist training jobs exist each year. They can increase them, reduce them, or remove them entirely. These numbers are a political decision. So when the Government removes 1,000 future NHS specialist training jobs, that is an active choice to have 1,000 fewer future NHS specialists. That means fewer potential radiologists reading scans. Fewer potential surgeons doing operations. Fewer potential anaesthetists running theatres. Fewer potential psychiatrists and GPs seeing patients. At a time when waiting lists are in the millions and patients are waiting months or years to see specialists, the Government has actively chosen to reduce the number of future specialists. That doesn’t just punish doctors. It punishes patients and the NHS as a whole, because it means fewer potential specialists and longer waits in the future. And the most concerning part is why this happened. These training jobs were discussed in the context of negotiations with doctors. That means specialist training jobs, and therefore future NHS specialists, were being treated as something that could be added or removed depending on whether doctors accepted Government terms. That is not workforce planning. That is using future NHS specialists as leverage. The Government can create more NHS specialists if it wants to. It can reduce waiting lists faster if it wants to. It can train more doctors if it wants to. Yet they’ve chosen not to. This was a political choice that this Labour Government have made. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/04/the-go…

Leadership Tussle: Nafiu Bala Resigns As ADC Chairman By Funke Ogunlolu The 2023 Gombe governorship candidate and former national deputy chairman of the African democratic congress. Nafiu Bala has tendered his letter of resignation after declaring himself as the interim national chairman of the party. In the letter Addressed to the former national chairman of the party, Ralph Nwosu, Bala stated that his resignation was to pave way for smooth and effective coalition as well as restructuring the party. Bala assured that he is not abandoning the party and ready to serve in any capacity but the former Gombe governorship candidate was silenced on the David Mark-led interim leadership. The announcement came after the official handing over of ADC to the former Senate President and his team by the former national executive committee on Wednesday. During his declaration as the national chairman, Bala had accused Mark-led interim leadership of the ADC of hijacking the party through unconstitutional means and warned of impending legal action to challenge what he described as a “total surrender” of the party’s structure to external political actors. The former deputy national chairman emphasized that the party’s constitution clearly outlines the processes for leadership succession and that, in line with those provisions, he was now assuming the position of interim national chairman.

If your plans for the people were genuine, your son wouldn’t need to be actively distributing rice and foodstuffs ahead of the election. People would have been able to afford these things themselves. This reflects poorly on your leadership.

As a young man in Nigeria right now, this is not the time to spend recklessly in the name of romance, especially with someone who isn’t willing to be equally intentional and resourceful with you.

It's this nonsense they used to justify hacking Neymar's legs to pieces. Someone dribbling you will never be disrespectful. Na you no good.

Still wondering how Madrid has 15 UCL titles?!

🚨Warning: watching this may cause severe copium overdose for madridistas. Proceed if you dare. The robbery reel they don't want you to see.

I just want a Nigeria that works. That is all I ask for. I have seen and experienced systems that work, and Nigeria is not anywhere close. This is not a political statement. This is a statement of fact.

Marry the person kindest to you. Make a home with the person sweetest to you. There’s almost nothing better in life. Leave Komodo Dragons alone 🐉 let them continue to rule the jungle of the streets.

I take solace in knowing that there’s life after Bola Tinubu & there will be other leaders after him. The show of shame his supporters from our region put on just to defend absolute nonsense will come back in full folds years to this time. Time is a companion.

It’s who we are. Our people. Our roots. Thousands of voices. One feeling. Champions League Round of 16. Now is the moment.

The UK has always been based at the deepest level on Christian values, regardless of dogma Despite the many mistakes made by churches, for centuries British people have been influenced by Christ's teaching If these values are replaced by Islamic ones, this will not be Britain any more

Sharia Law is not compatible with any civilization.

This is how it should be 💪🏾 There is no reason, whatsoever, to grant citizenship to people who have made it clear their mission is to sabotage the country.
