The Voice Of The People

In a nation weary of deceit, Nigerians have watched the All Progressives Congress (APC) become the symbol of a political order that treats truth as optional. From ministerial nominees to those in the highest offices, the party’s record has been stained by repeated controversies over academic qualifications and forged documents—issues that have been publicly reported, not whispered rumours. According to Premium Times and Vanguard, former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Uche Nnaji acknowledged that the certificate he submitted was not issued by the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The university confirmed that although he was once admitted, he did not graduate and therefore was never awarded the degree he presented. The admission and subsequent resignation are on public record. Similarly, international reports, including AP News and court filings obtained from the United States, show that Chicago State University confirmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended the school but ...

  All over the world, when issues arise, it is the responsibility of the president to act swiftly and decisively in the interest of the people. But in Nigeria, leadership has often failed to meet this basic duty. Rather than solving problems, our leaders seem more focused on looting public funds and protecting their political interests. Let us reflect on some of the tragic events that occurred in 2025—the devastating floods in Niger State, the deadly massacre in Benue and Uzo Uwani, and the continuous suffering across parts of the Southeast. In all these situations, the presidency maintained a troubling silence, pretending as if all was well. No real action, no genuine compassion. But in the midst of this darkness, one man stood out. Mr. Peter Obi—though not in office and not in control of state resources—stepped up where others failed. He showed up for the people. He visited the victims. He consoled the bereaved. He donated huge sums of money not to buy votes, but to uplift the vu...

In the turbulent waters of Nigerian politics, where truth is often drowned by deception and power is frequently exchanged for corruption, one man stands as an incorruptible symbol of hope, Peter Obi. He is not just a man; he is a divine symbol, a prophetic figure clothed in white, a white cloth that cannot be stained. While others drape themselves in hypocrisy and betrayal, Peter Obi remains steadfast, untouched, and untainted. A WHITE CLOTH ORDAINED BY GOD There are men born of power, and there are those ordained by divine providence. Peter Obi is the latter. He walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor does he stand in the path of injustice. Like a white garment woven from heaven’s own threads, his life, principles, and values reflect purity in the darkest political climate. His public records remain as clean as his conscience free of embezzlement, devoid of lies, and rich in service. A SYMBOL OF INTEGRITY IN A NATION STAINED BY CORRUPTION Nigeria has become a land where integrity ...

 In a time when Nigeria is facing one of its most turbulent political and security crises, the continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (MNK), the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), raises deep and troubling questions. Many Nigerians — both at home and in the diaspora — are asking: Why is MNK still in custody despite multiple court orders calling for his release? Why is the government silent on his deteriorating health condition? And most importantly, what is the real reason behind the federal government's refusal to obey its own judiciary? 1. A DEFIANCE OF JUSTICE Since his extraordinary rendition in 2021 — a process condemned internationally — Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been detained under questionable legal grounds. Multiple court rulings, including those from Nigeria’s own Appeal Court, have ordered his release, yet the DSS continues to hold him in solitary confinement. His legal team filed a no-case submission, which is currently under judicial consideration. This subm...

In every generation, there arises a voice that unsettles the powerful, disturbs the comfortable, and speaks uncomfortable truths. For Nigeria, that voice is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. His continued detention is not just a legal matter—it is a loud echo of a deeper crisis, one that cuts across justice, marginalization, and the soul of a nation hanging on the edge of fractured unity. THE SYMBOLISM OF HIS VOICE Nnamdi Kanu is not just a man; he has become a movement, a mirror reflecting the frustration of millions who feel abandoned by the Nigerian state. Whether or not one agrees with all his methods, the message he channels is clear: there is a deep wound in Nigeria’s foundation—a wound of injustice, inequality, and disregard for constitutional rights. His voice is feared not because it calls for violence, but because it calls for accountability. It reminds the government of the promises it has broken and the people it has silenced. The fear of his voice is the fear of a truth long buried and no...

In a recent Twitter poll conducted by renowned journalist Oseni Rufai (@ruffydfire), Nigerians have once again made their voices heard and the message is crystal clear. The question was simple: “The government has performed well”   Yes or No? Out of 3,517 total votes, a staggering 91% of respondents voted “No,” indicating overwhelming disapproval of the current administration’s performance. Only 9% said “Yes.” The poll, posted in the early hours of July 20, 2025, had just over 5 hours remaining at the time of review and had already garnered more than 13,000 views. THE 9% AND THE REALITY OF HARDSHIP Let’s not be deceived, this 9% are likely the beneficiaries of the present hardship. They are the few enjoying political appointments, contracts, inflated privileges, or connected to those in power. But if only 9% of the population are happy, and 91% are experiencing failure, hunger, unemployment, and insecurity, then something is totally and critically wrong. This is not the time f...

 As the Voice of the People, I find it important to amplify voices that reflect humility, integrity, and service to the nation. Peter Obi, a statesman of principle, has once again reminded us what leadership should truly mean—not self-celebration, but sacrificial service. From the bottom of his heart, Mr. Obi has expressed sincere gratitude to everyone who sent birthday wishes from around the world. He remains deeply thankful to all who marked the day particularly Nigerian youths, the Obidient family, and members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, known for their apostolate to the poor. But true to his character, Peter Obi reaffirms that he does not celebrate birthdays. When he turned 50 while serving as Governor, many individuals and institutions brought plans to honour him. One institution offered to build him a ₦120 million home. He declined, asking them to use the money to build classrooms in Agulu, Ekwulobia, and Abatete. They did and the result was lasting. Another group ...

In today’s society, many are drawn to the idea of fast money and luxury lifestyles, even if it means engaging in fraud. Some people see fraudsters living large—driving flashy cars, wearing expensive clothes, and showcasing wealth on social media. But behind that glittering image lies a dark truth. This article reveals both the temporary advantages and the devastating disadvantages of being a fraudster. ✅ TEMPORARY ADVANTAGES OF A FRAUDSTER Let’s be honest: fraudsters sometimes appear to enjoy certain benefits. These may look attractive on the surface, but they do not last. 1. Quick Money Fraudsters can make large amounts of money in a short time without hard labor. 2. Luxurious Lifestyle They may afford cars, houses, and vacations that most people only dream of. 3. False Influence and Popularity Fraudsters sometimes gain fans and followers, fooling people into believing they are successful. 4. Manipulation Power They can deceive and control others to get what they want—emotionally or f...
