See how beautiful parts of the North look now. Look at the attention given to the roads: well-constructed, properly marked and beautifully landscaped. This is how you recognise a government that is working. People judge governance by what they see around them.
A well-maintained environment is one of the clearest signs of progress. Kudos to the Northern leaders.
The urban renewal that has taken place in parts of the North over the last 10 years is worth celebrating.
Our leaders in the South should take note.
The government must also address the activities that contribute to environmental disorder, including street trading, indiscriminate parking and people turning public roads into shops and living spaces.
This is not about stereotyping anyone; it is about enforcing the law fairly and ensuring that everyone, including those who migrate to the South, respects public spaces.
Every part of the country deserves proper infrastructure. Even low-income neighbourhoods should have good roads, proper drainage and clean surroundings.
We should be working towards a standard where no community is left with neglected roads and potholes.
We cannot achieve a trillion-dollar economy with deteriorating roads and a dirty environment.
The government must prioritise infrastructure and urban renewal so that it’s cities can be celebrated globally.
A government that is working should leave its surroundings better than it found them.

A Pain One Carries Silently
This afternoon, as I travelled from Abuja to Lagos, a group of young Nigerians approached me at the airport and said: “We have not heard or read anything from you today or yesterday, despite all the heartbreaking news dominating our front pages—from the appointment of some of the least qualified individuals as ambassadors, to our institutions being ridiculed, the First Lady hosting extravagant dinners for Senators while children are being abducted, and the countless killings across the country.”
I looked at them and understood their frustration. My response came from the depth of my heart:
My dear younger brothers and sisters, there is a pain one carries silently when watching a nation you love bleed daily. There is a pain that words cannot fully describe—when you see the suffering of ordinary Nigerians and compare it to the reckless insensitivity displayed by those entrusted with leadership. It is the kind of pain that makes you remember the humiliating remark from the American president who referred to Nigeria as a “now disgraced country.”
Today, when you look around, you begin to understand why the world speaks of us that way. Yes, some of the names being paraded to represent us as ambassadors globally are shocking. But with a leadership that has allowed mediocrity, corruption, and impunity to rise to the top, who else did you expect them to choose?
When our people are being killed, our leaders are busy hosting dinners.
When children are being snatched from their schools, the political class is celebrating and dancing.
When families cannot afford their next meal, those in power are welcoming defectors and exchanging gifts as though Nigeria is not burning.
This is not governance.
This is not leadership.
And this is certainly not the Nigeria we deserve.
We cannot continue normalising this level of moral decay and national indifference. A nation rises when its leaders feel the pain of its citizens—not when they insulate themselves from it. A nation progresses when compassion, competence, and accountability guide public office, not when frivolity becomes the order of the day.
But I want you, the young people, to know this: do not lose hope. Do not become numb. Do not let this darkness demoralise your hearts. The New Nigeria we dream of—a just, secure, productive, and respected nation—is still possible. But it will not happen by accident. It will happen because people like you refuse to accept failure as our destiny.
We will continue to speak and insist that Nigeria can and must be better.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

You are shameless, that was how you lied against Iraq and Libya. Go and stop the massacre against the innocent Palestinians.
You sponsored the terrorists to destabilize Africa.

Dear Christian Brothers and Sisters,
Peace be upon you all🙏🙏
Before the terror attack on the church in Kwara, there was the terror attack on a mosque in Malumfashi in the most recent past. In both places, people doing nothing more than worshipping God were hunted down and murdered in cold blood.
I am not raising one tragedy to cancel out the other. I am simply asking us to look at the pattern with clear eyes:
The people who carry out these atrocities do not check your faith before they kill. They do not care whether their victims are reciting the Lord’s Prayer or making sujūd. They are equal-opportunity butchers. Those who commit such acts may carry Muslim names, but their deeds place them far outside the boundaries of Islam, just as a man who bombs an abortion clinic while quoting the Bible stands far outside the boundaries of Christianity. Evil does not own a religion; it only borrows its clothing.
My purpose is not to defend or explain away anything. My purpose is to speak as one Nigerian to another, with the voice of reason that these dark times demand:
If we allow ourselves to be divided, or accept a narrative that says only one community can be the victim and only one community can be the villain; we are doing exactly what the terrorists want. Division makes us weak, blame games make us blind and hatred makes us next.
United, we are too strong for them. Divided, we are simply taking turns at the slaughter. Let us refuse to take turns. Let us mourn every grave the same way. Let us protect every place of worship the same way. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder, Christian and Muslim, because the next bullet does not read identity cards.
Our children deserve to inherit a Nigeria where the sound of church bells and the call to prayer are both signs of safety, not signals of danger; that Nigeria is still possible, but only if we choose reason over rage, solidarity over suspicion, and humanity over hate.
May the One God we both worship grant us the wisdom to choose rightly, and the courage to stand together with respect and hope.
Assalamu Alaikum.......!

A few days ago,
Bishop Mike Okonkwo celebrated his 80th birthday and he invited the former VP Professor Yemi Osinbajo to speak.
Prof spoke on how the church in Nigeria today contributes heavily to the moral decay and corruption in society.
Everyone in Nigeria needs to see this:
