Reflecting on the Prison Exchange with Ethiopia
The news of the conclusion of the prisoners exchange between Nigeria and Ethiopia is refreshing.
Every life is precious, and ensuring the constitutional right to human dignity for all Nigerians - regardless of where they are or the circumstances they find themselves in - must remain a cornerstone of our national foreign policy.
I must therefore appreciate the efforts of our Foreign Affairs Minister, Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), and their Ethiopian counterparts for finally concluding these protracted negotiations.
However, we must reflect deeply on this development. It is heartbreaking to learn that at least four Nigerian citizens lost their lives in custody while this diplomatic and administrative process dragged on over the past few years. My heart goes out to their families, who had to endure the ultimate pain of losing loved ones in a foreign land.
While we commend this humanitarian intervention, it serves as a reminder of a larger systemic crisis. The overwhelming majority of these citizens are young Nigerians. A significant number were arrested while transiting through Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport in search of green pastures. While we must continuously urge our citizens to remain law-abiding and respect the laws of host nations wherever they travel or reside, we must also ask ourselves a hard question: What drives our young and productive population into desperate circumstances across the globe?
Until we build a New Nigeria that offers genuine economic opportunities, a functional educational framework, and an environment where hard work is rewarded, we will continue to grapple with the tragic consequences of mass emigration and its associated vulnerabilities.
As these citizens are brought home to serve out their terms, our correctional facilities must be properly managed with a focus on genuine rehabilitation and societal reintegration. Let us use this moment not just for short-term relief, but as an urgent call to build a nation that protects, values, and empowers its citizens here at home.
With the right policies and leadership, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

“God why me. I pledge to Nigeria my country after everything I still did not see my name why?…” - A young Nigerian man has cried out online after reportedly scoring 100 in the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) recruitment Computer-Based Test but was not shortlisted for the next stage of the exercise.

If anybody should be in jail, it is us politicians for what we have done to this country — NDC presidential candidate, Peter obi
At a summit held at The Summit Church with young entrepreneurs, Peter Obi shared reflections on his business experience, leadership, and institutional realities.
He described what he referred to as unusual cases involving academics and senior officials entangled in legal troubles, saying:
“In university of Southern California, the past few days with them, we have the entire faculty and people who have studied in jail… all the professors. You’ll be shocked what they’ve been able to do.”
He noted the scale of the situation, mentioning senior academic figures:
“I saw the dean of faculty say I he did 28 years. I saw the registrar… everybody, they’ve done years. And it was amazing that they are professors.”
Reflecting on justice and perception, he added: “When you hear what is happening, you realize that many people think that once you go to jail, most of them are even people who are not supposed to be there in the first place.”
He then drew a broader moral reflection directed at political leadership especially in Nigeria; “If anybody should be in jail, it is us politicians for what we have done to this country.”
He added that such experiences should encourage young people to build with integrity, remain aware of institutional realities, and understand that leadership often involves navigating complex and imperfect systems.

Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.
When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.
Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.
Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.
We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.
I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.
To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

This job wey NDC give Theo go really hard am. 😂
Oshiomole claimed that insecurity under Peter Obi was high in Anambra because of the presence of Bakassi boys.
As the media communicator of the NDC, Theo was expected to debunk the propaganda and sell Peter Obi's track records in security.
Instead, the guy started going round, speaking grammar and beating around the bush with sprinkles of NDC.
As the guy failed to make the defense, Obidients rolled up their sleeves and immediately thrashed the propaganda by themselves.
I'm just finding out now that the Bakassi ended in 2002, under Mbadinuju's tenure. And after Peter Obi's crackdown on criminality, the Nigeria Police declared Anambra the safest state in Nigeria.
Obidients no dey gree ooo

If Nigeria was a functional country, some people would have been shot for treason.

In a Hausa interview with DW Hausa, Ishak Rabe Abubakar, son of the late Major General Rabe Abubakar (rtd.), disputed the Katsina State Government's claim that their father died from complications related to diabetes. According to him, the General died as a direct result of a snake bite while in the bandits' camp.
He also stated that their mother is still being held by the bandits, contrary to reports claiming that she had been released.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
