CIVILITY IS NOT WEAKNESS. ENOUGH OF THE HARASSMENT OF MY SUPPORTERS. RELEASE RILWAN OLAWALE NOW.
The continued intimidation and harassment of my supporters across the country, the latest being the case of Rilwan Olawale, is disturbing and unacceptable.
President Bola Tinubu has remained a huge beneficiary of our democracy and should not brazenly be destroying it by encouraging and facilitating violence.
Our campaign is peaceful and issue-driven, focused on offering Nigerians a credible alternative built on competence, accountability, justice, and compassion.
We have chosen the path of peace, not violence; persuasion, not intimidation. However, nobody should mistake our civility for weakness, our restraint for fear, or our commitment to peace for an absence of resolve. We will not be intimidated into silence, nor will we abandon Nigerians who believe in a New Nigeria that is possible and will be OK.
I therefore demand transparency regarding Rilwan Olawale’s arrest, his release, respect for his rights, and an end to politically motivated harassment. No government or political party has the right to deny Nigerians the freedom to support a candidate of their choice.
We will remain peaceful but resolute. We will not resort to violence, but we will stand firmly and lawfully against every attempt to undermine our democratic rights.
A New Nigeria is POssible and will be OK. -PO

Dear APC online supporters,
It will be a shame that after all you did, you weren't giving Prado Jeeps.
Those people that collected the Jeeps, are they more APC than you?

One of the greatest injustices in Nigeria’s education system is that we subject children to the same national examinations despite giving them completely unequal opportunities to learn.
A child in a poorly funded public school with no Mathematics or Physics teacher for an entire academic session will sit for the same WAEC examination as a child in a well-equipped private school with qualified teachers, modern laboratories, libraries and access to technology.
Both children will be judged by the same examination standards.
One scores an A, the other scores an F.
We celebrate one as brilliant and condemn the other as a failure.
But did we actually test their intelligence, or did we simply measure the inequality of their opportunities?
The tragedy is that the child who failed might be just as intelligent, or even more gifted, than the child who passed.
Equal examinations without equal learning opportunities are not necessarily a fair measure of a child’s potential.
We cannot continue to hold children accountable for the failures of an education system they did not create.
Every Nigerian child deserves a fair opportunity to learn before being judged on what they know.
A child’s examination result should reflect their learning, not the circumstances of their birth.

Imagine if Nigerian students were taught maths this way!
An easy rule of thumb for short distances is the length of a football pitch.
A standard pitch is around 100 meters long. 1000 meters (10 football pitches) make 1km.
A mile is 1.6km (16 football pitches), and a km is 0.6 miles. So to convert miles to km, multiply by 1.6, and to do the reverse, multiply by 0.6.
Assuming we are familiar with inches already (your smartphone is most likely between 5.5 and 6.5 inches tall), 12 inches make a foot and the distance between the floor and the ceiling of a typical Nigerian residential apartment is 9 feet.
1 yard = 3 feet. So to get yards from feet, divide by 3, and to do the reverse, multiply by 3.
For navigation, most of us already know East And West based on the perceived rising and setting of the sun.
North is the direction to your left when facing the East ('rising' sun) and the direction to your right when facing the West ('setting' sun)
Don't try to memorise them. They are grasped intuitively through culture, individual curiosity, or line of work.
A lot of children will love maths even more, because it’s relatable to their everyday reality.

The APC kept pulling down NDC banners in Lagos, so @richone090 became a walking banner. Now they want to pull him down too.
We won't let this happen. I've been preparing for my own kidnapping too, since I've been pissing off some people. I must make noise about this.
Put these hashtags in the comments!

Rebuilding Nigeria
Yesterday, Wednesday, 21 October, I arrived in London at 7 a.m. from Basel, Switzerland. It was one of my busiest days, filled with several engagements, including meetings with stakeholders in the UK.
I rounded off the day in the evening with a meeting organised by the COPDEM Chief and the NDC Director of Diaspora Affairs, bringing together other stakeholders in London.
All the meetings with British government officials and the Nigerian diaspora centred on our collective responsibility to rebuild Nigeria and free our country from the shackles of bad leadership, corruption, and the lack of accountability that continue to undermine our national development. These challenges have deprived millions of Nigerians of access to basic necessities, including quality healthcare, education, and decent employment.
Nigerians deserve a country where every life matters, where hard work is rewarded, and where every citizen has a fair opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or connections.
We must build a Nigeria where the child of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody. A country that works for everyone, not just a privileged few.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
