There is something deeply troubling me about the direction of this nation, and these are my thoughts.
Please, take some time this weekend to give it a read.
For some time now, I have been thinking deeply about the state of our politics, the direction of our country, and what appears to be an increasingly entrenched pattern in the way political power is acquired, distributed and preserved in Nigeria.
What troubles me most is not simply who is in government today. It is the possibility that we are gradually accepting a political system designed to reproduce itself, where the same networks, interests, families, allies and political structures continue to determine who gets access to power, who is allowed to rise and who remains permanently outside the room where decisions are made.
Names change. Parties change. Alliances change. Positions change.
Yet somehow, the architecture of power remains remarkably familiar.
And we must begin to ask ourselves a difficult question:
Are we genuinely building a democracy for the future, or are we simply reproducing a political class for the present?
There is something fundamentally wrong with a country where political leadership increasingly appears to be about succession, influence and survival rather than institution-building, problem-solving and preparing the next generation.
Nigeria needs leaders who are thinking about the next generation, not merely the next election.
Leaders who are prepared to build institutions they may never personally benefit from.
Leaders who understand that public office is a responsibility, not an inheritance; a trust, not a family possession; and an opportunity to solve problems, not simply another route to influence and wealth.
But increasingly, our politics appears trapped in a cycle of political gatekeeping.
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣
The most dangerous political system is not necessarily one in which one person remains in power forever.
It is one in which the same interests remain in power even when the faces change.
That is the deeper question Nigerians must begin to ask.
When political influence is continuously transferred from one generation of political elites to their preferred successors, associates, relatives and protégés, we must ask ourselves: Are we actually building a democracy, or are we simply reproducing a political class?
In 2015, the All Progressive Congress (APC), wrestled power from the then ruling party, People’s Democratic Power (PDP). It was expected that while the guard or leadership changed, there should have been a metamorphosis of new leaders across board. Meanwhile, the old guards and leadership discharged from the PDP, especially their egg heads regrouped under the APC. So, at the end it was same people in the position of power, but this time, with a different acronym.
We must deliberately understand that;
Democracy is not merely the periodic act of voting.
Democracy is participation. It is accountability and preserving accountability systems.
It is competition of ideas. It is equal opportunity to aspire. Where a child of nobody can become somebody, by the same grace and privileges available to all.
It is the ability of an ordinary citizen, regardless of background, to look at the highest offices in the land and believe that those offices are genuinely open to people with competence, character, courage and a commitment to service.
When political access becomes the exclusive preserve of a few, democracy begins to lose its substance.
And when young Nigerians are repeatedly told that they must wait their turn, be loyal, serve someone's political ambition, or find a godfather before they can meaningfully participate, we should not be surprised when an entire generation begins to lose faith in the system.

If Tinubu wins the next election (in addition to 8yrs of Buhari), that would be 16yrs of wasted opportunities for Nigeria to be a country of our dream.

The APC government has performed so poorly that, at this point, the conversation should no longer be about whether Nigerians should give it another chance.
The focus should be on holding it accountable and demanding a change of leadership through the ballot in 2027.
Nigerians must not allow another four years of unfulfilled promises, economic hardship and poor governance. Come 2027, the message should be clear: it is time to send them packing.
By it's governance modalities and dismal delivery of good governance, the ruling APC has made 2027 elections binary choice for Nigerians. Ultimately, Nigerians will vote YES for A New Nigeria and NO to APC and the Tinubu Administration. It is that simple. No one chooses darkness over light.

“A group of sheep led by a lion will always defeat a group of lions led by a sheep.”
That's my thought.

Guy. Are you blind, deaf or dumb?
If something is not working, change it. It is not hard. Which kind mentality y'll have with your oppressors. See the nonsense question.

They looted our common wealth and are using it to compromise your conscience by buying your voters' cards or thumbprints. Do the right thing on election day.

One fool told me he followed me because of my sports content, simply because I posted a political video.
My response was simple, unfollow me, because I will post more.
We are in a political period, and I am actively involved in political activities right from my ward. Politics is part of public life, and I have every right to express my views and share the issues, conversations and activities that interest me.
Some people tend to overrate their importance and appoint themselves as moral police whenever your views do not align with their political stance or agenda.
If you followed me for sports, that’s fine. But don’t dictate what I should post or expect me to limit my interests to suit your preferences.
You are free to unfollow. I am not about to stop expressing my political views to make anyone comfortable. In fact, there is more to come. If my political content makes you uncomfortable, feel free to leave. I will keep posting.
I need to put this out there.
Do not come to my comments to tell me not to talk about politics. Especially when you say, “focus on football”, I’ll block you and move on.
Many of you don’t even know politics more than I do, and choosing not to talk about it more often than not, does not mean I don’t know about it.
I was 8 years old when I was already going for ward meetings, my mum was woman leader of A.D back then in Eti Osa, where she also later contested for House of Assembly. We’ve done AD, PDP, AC, ACN, CPC.
We’ve been going to ward meetings and party meetings in Eti-Osa from the 2000s, many of you that say these things to me in my comments weren’t even born then, it’s amazing. During holiday jobs back in the day, I have worked across 3 LCDAs and Ikeja Alausa, many of you haven’t even been privy to such.
I was born and raised in Obalende, and all these BAT you’re shouting, some of us use to walk into his house at Bourdillon back in the day. Na Falomo area I school sef just to add. The last chairman of Ikoyi/Obalende LCDA, Fuad Lawal, was like a big brother to me, we stayed in the same compound growing up at Daniel’s Compound in Obalende, his late younger brother was my friend. His other brother and I still chat on WhatsApp. If you know Obalende well back in the day, you’ll know Daniel’s compound.
I’ll stop here, but if I don’t talk about politics, do not ever think I have no idea about it, I was born in it. I’m not a fan of it, but I can talk about it.
I am Nigerian before anything. I can choose to stay anywhere in the world and I’ll be fine, but these places ain’t my home. Nigeria is my home, my family lives there, my friends live there, many of them are struggling and trying to make ends meet due to how the current government has turned the country into. They have plunged us into serious suffering. Monday was the umpteenth time I’ve had to pay the school fees of some of my nieces and nephews because their parents are fighting for their lives in that economy.
Few weeks ago, I was tweeting a lot about Brazilian politics, now it’s my country’s politics and someone will enter my comment and tell me to focus on football talks, and usually it comes from these APC miscreants. They’re always the one.
One thing is assured, you can support whoever you want, I will never ever come into your posts or comments to tell you anything or cuss you or tell you that you’re making a wrong decision. However, I do not expect you to come into my comments to do same. It’s my page and my timeline and you cannot police my tweets. I have friends that support them, we have arguments everyday but I respect their opinions.
I’ll tweet against this current government like never before. My friends that are working above average jobs are struggling, my family is struggling, the government has failed the people. The only people that want them again are those benefiting from them.
They say we’re a poor nation but we don’t live like one. The government wants us to be patient but they’re buying SUVs for themselves, even youth leaders are collecting SUVs, they’re ripping the country off but they’ll tell the people that they should be patient. The poverty doesn’t touch them, we’re the only ones meant to suffer.
I put it to you, if you vote for APC again after these past 4 years of suffering, you’ll even suffer more the coming years. 4 years ago, he told you he’ll give you electricity, reduce cost of living, etc. guess what? Those things quadrupled, and now he’s back again, repeating the same things and you’ll still vote, are you cursed? Have some self reflection.
Loans are at all time high. The demands are neck breaking.

In 2022, "By all means, you must have stable electricity. If I don't provide you with stable electricity, don't vote for me for a second term".
This is 2026, almost 4 years after he made that promise.
And some APC dingleberries are still standing on his mandate.
Shame.

APC influencers don’t know the difficult job they’ve collected.
You’ll see the force you’re battling against soon. Im sure little by little, the fire in people’s bellies will begin to burn.
The anger will be evident and people won’t vote that useless party that will tell us to be patient but buy SUVs for youth leaders.
You’ll not believe your eyes. I will push from my end and I implore everyone to do the same, we are better together, we must remove Bola Ahmed Tinubu from that presidency. He has done his bits but we cannot continue anymore.
Nigeria first.
NIGERIAN YOUTHS, USE YOUR BRAIN!
Don't give the APC a second chance to waste another eight years of your life.
Leadership is not about propaganda, slogans, or endless promises. It is about results, accountability, and the quality of life of the people.
You have seen the hardship. You have experienced the economic realities. You have watched the promises and lived with the consequences.
Don't let political propaganda make you forget your experiences. Don't allow temporary political incentives to mortgage your long-term future.
2027 is another opportunity to make your voice count.
Think critically. Demand accountability. Don't reward failure with another opportunity.

NIGERIAN YOUTHS, DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!
Don't allow the APC to become an accomplice in wasting another eight years of your life on empty promises, recycled excuses, and poor leadership.
You have already seen the consequences. You have lived through the hardship. You have paid the price.
Your future is too important to be sacrificed on the altar of political propaganda and unfulfilled promises.
2027 is another opportunity to demand accountability, rethink our choices, and insist on leadership that delivers.
Don't mortgage another eight years. Your future is not a political experiment!
