IN ENUGU STATE, OUR TOMORROW IS HERE HAS EATEN OUR TOMORROW, WHAT REMAINS IS NEXT TOMORROW. SHALL WE ALLOW IT TO BE EATEN TOO?

Voice of the people -


In Enugu State today, we are no longer waiting for tomorrow. "Tomorrow is here," they told us — but when it arrived, it came not with hope, not with progress, not with justice, but with hunger, silence, and betrayal. The very tomorrow we anticipated with so much faith has turned around to devour the promises it once carried. Our tomorrow has eaten our tomorrow.


The roads still crack beneath our feet. The hospitals bleed from underfunding. Our youths roam, not with dreams, but with despair. The farmers groan, the traders cry, and the civil servants survive instead of thrive. And yet, we were promised that "our tomorrow is here."


Now, what remains is next tomorrow,  that flicker of hope still hanging in the hearts of the people. But we must ask ourselves, as citizens of this great land: Are we going to allow our next tomorrow to be eaten too?


We have a choice.


We can sit and watch, nodding to every political tune while the system swallows what’s left of our dignity.


Or we can rise, speak, challenge, and hold power accountable, not as enemies of the state, but as the true owners of the state.


Because if we keep quiet today, if we surrender our voices to fear or favoritism, our next tomorrow will not only be eaten — it will be buried. Buried under the same lies, the same puppetry, the same recycled faces that have ruled us without ruling well.


This is no longer about politics. It is about survival. It is about justice. It is about the unborn generation asking, "What did you do when Enugu bled in silence?"


To every youth, every elder, every voice that still believes in truth, now is the time to speak, to write, to vote, to protest, to question, to resist.


If our tomorrow was stolen, then our next tomorrow must be defended.


Let it be known that Enugu is not a kingdom of slaves. We are not ruled by fear, but by the constitution. We are not owned by any man, but by our collective conscience.


And as the voice of the people, I must declare, never again shall we watch tomorrow die without fighting for next tomorrow to live.

TINIBU WHY SO SOON 😭😭😭😭😭

Voice of the people -

In just two years, the current administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pushed Nigeria’s public debt to an alarming *₦149.39 trillion* (about *97.24 billion*). Even more concerning, the government is still seeking additional loans — including a recent request for *1.75 billion from the World Bank*. This raises serious questions:   *How can a resource-rich nation like Nigeria be drowning in debt so quickly?*   We have abundant oil, gas, solid minerals, fertile land, and a vibrant population — yet, rather than managing and maximizing these resources, we are depending on foreign loans to run basic government operations. While governments do borrow to fund infrastructure or emergencies, the *pace and volume of borrowing* under this administration is troubling. *Two years in office*, and the numbers already surpass what many past governments accumulated in longer terms. What’s even worse is the lack of transparency.   Where is all this money going?...

The Endless Cycle of Political Recycling in Nigeria: A Wake-Up Call

Voice of the people -

In a passionate address recently shared by Barr. Ugo Ugwunnadi, he expressed deep frustration at the way Nigeria's political class continues to recycle themselves in power while ordinary citizens applaud them blindly. He highlighted how some individuals have occupied multiple key positions—commissioner, House of Assembly member, House of Representatives member, Secretary to the State Government, governor—without giving room for fresh leadership. One striking example he gave was that of a former chairman of Igbo Etiti Local Government, who was under 17 when his father was governor, yet later rose to become chairman. Meanwhile, older and loyal party followers of his father remained sidelined. According to Barr. Ugwunnadi, “God forbid that my children will serve the children of those I serve.” He also recalled a moment in 2015 when Senator Ike Ekweremadu allegedly boasted at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium that he had been in power since 1999. Figures such as Orji Uzor Kalu also fall into this...

Tinubu’s Trip to Brazil: Diplomacy or Organized Looting?

Voice of the people -

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s trip to Brazil — presented as a diplomatic mission to strengthen economic ties — has drawn serious concern among Nigerians. While the presidency claims the trip is meant to attract investment and build international relationships, *as citizens of this country, we see it as another wasteful, self-serving outing disconnected from the real struggles at home*. Nigeria is facing one of its deepest crises in decades. Inflation is at an all-time high. Food prices are unbearable. Fuel scarcity and electricity failure remain constant. Millions are unemployed, and insecurity continues to threaten lives daily. Yet, in the middle of all this, the president and his team continue to embark on foreign trips that cost millions in public funds — with little or no tangible result. These trips are often wrapped in flowery language: "economic cooperation," "bilateral partnership," "investment promotion." But for how long will Nigerians be fed wit...
