A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS IN NIGERIA
The new dimension of toxic politics that Nigeria has developed since 2025,
I arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. this morning to board my flight to Enugu. There, I saw the Nigeria Under-17 girls' team, which had just arrived and was preparing to board its vehicle into town.
With genuine joy and enthusiasm, I asked my Protocol Officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether I could greet and welcome the team. I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs.
Regrettably, this is not the first time I have been subjected to such treatment. On March 25, 2025, I was in Uyo for the World Cup qualifier. The governor warmly received me and welcomed me at the VIP stand. Following the match, other government officials went to greet the players, but I was again prevented from doing so. I was told by the officials that they would lose their jobs if I proceeded.
It is deeply troubling to witness the extent of toxic politics into which our nation has descended since 2025. Each year appears to bring further deterioration. This reflects how deeply Nigeria has been affected.
The new Nigeria we aspire to build must have no room for hostility, intimidation, or discrimination, regardless of political affiliation. It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The problem with prolonged incompetence is that it dampens the imagination of people and compels them to accept mediocrity as the gold standard.
Firstly, between 1988 and 1991, less than four years, South Korea delivered over two million homes to tackle homelessness and affordability.
Between 2020 and 2024, Algeria delivered 1.7 million units to tackle affordability and access, a program driven and implemented by the ministry of housing.
In Singapore, where housing is views as a social welfare infrastructure, homelessness is practically zero and every young graduate gets an accommodation because the government invested in building millions of housing.
I can give several more examples from Finland, Vienna, or even Ireland.
But sadly, our people can’t imagine this because for nearly 26 years in power, the APC HAS NOT delivered up 20,000 units of social or affordable housing.
Even worse, our people have forgotten that Alhaji Lateef Jakande delivered over 20,000 units in 4 years over 40 years ago.
How can people imagine possibilities when President Tinubu’s ambitious housing program has actually completed about 1000 units in almost four years.
So honestly, i understand why this basic idea passes off as impossible. But is it also so because the APC has been so incompetent they have killled our collective ability to dream.

I briefly moved to Nigeria in 2021 to try & play my part in the electricity sector. My job was performance monitoring and I visited DisCos substations all over Nigeria. 5 months in, I told myself i cannot continue like this after being exposed to a developed system. Left some months after that.
Btw, I can write a whole book on why Nigeria might never achieve 24/7 electricity in the next 20 years

Borno state has 10 HoR members, 50X10= N500 million.
28 HoA members, 20X28= N560 million.
Total= N1.060 billion.
Before joining politics, Betara was a nobody. Today, he is the Chairman, house committee on appropriations.
This is happening in the same Nigeria that one idiot went to a podcast & referred to as a poor nation, & that the biggest problem of Nigeria is revenue generation, not corruption.
Proper idiot!
Until they start approving some while disapproving others
No difference in both responses.
GRV: Lagos is smelling
FD: Parts of Lagos is smelling
Both agree the city smells
That akewi page on IG is certainly one of my favorites on that app. Reminds me so much of the good in us as human beings. I also love that people never forget kindness

The funniest thing about this administration is that if Obi enters and ends up doing well as expected . We will be told Tinubu ‘laid’ the foundation😂

You are in Nigeria, your preferred candidate in any Presidential Elections - cannot win without the support of Nigerian Muslims;
Or maybe the best candidate in a Presidential Election, could be a Muslim.
If you like, keep talking like a White Southern Baptist in rural Alabama - who hasn't met a Muslim in his/her life.
This is why you are a human being, not a parrot - you should talk and act with full awareness of your context.

Meanwhile if you want something meaningful and real, you’ll realize your options are in fact very limited and possibly nonexistent

these guys do not care about the wellbeing of this country, they don’t care if things work or not, all they care about is tinubu and they don’t care putting anybody down in the process including their own!
Please come out to vote out APC in Oyo State and Nigeria!
I for make video about Seyi Makinde and his stup!d low-budget obidient mobs but man is too irrelevant in this election.
Na una dey do politics.
Our own business is Yoruba interest and Seyi Makinde is currently working against it.
He's not working against APC.
He's working against the majority of Yoruba people.
Even Baba Mimiko declared support for Bola Tinubu because they are wise enough to see that this is beyond not just Politics but survival.
