In a bold move to counter the threat from the North, the Former President Tinubu"s South East Spokesman and current Chairman of Forum of former members of Enugu State House of Assembly Dr. Josef Onoh inaugurated Asiwaju Renewed Mandate Southeast. (ARMSE).

As a result of the warning by Northern Groups, represented by the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) and the Northern Awareness Network (NAN) who raised alarm over what they perceived as a covert scheme to thwart President Bola Tinubu’s potential bid for re-election in 2027, ARMS is inevitable to counter wrong impression, opposition and threats from any quarter against Tinubu's second term.

Onoh said,

"Unlike the outcome of the immediate past Presidential election in the Southeast where the APC party big wigs failed to secure victory for the President in the Region due to various selfish political interests of all major Southeast APC stakeholders who placed more interest in pursuing their different interests without making any effort to deliver the President, this group was floated to promote the President without any prejudice.

Although, most of them became the greatest beneficiaries of his appointments which can be best defined as rewarding bad behaviour, this anomaly will not repeat itself in 2027.

So to avoid a repeat, it has become necessary to inaugurate a political support group aimed at promoting the President alone.

Members from all different political parties who believes in the leadership qualities of Tinubu are welcome. We are not interested nor will we support any other political office holders or future aspirants other than President Bola Tinubu.

Our mandate starts and ends with the President and we currently have many anonymous partners in progress from different states in the South East and South South Geopolitical Zones as we hope to establish our presence in the entire Federation.

The President won with enormous help of the various support groups although they are poorly rewarded but that will not deter us from delivering him come 2027 hence any covert scheme from any part of the country is dead on arrival.

The Asiwaju Renewed Mandate Southeast group does not get involved in the activities of the APC in the Southeast which is really not making any meaningful impact currently in the region or any other political party in the country.

Our business is strictly President Tinubu and nothing else.

President Tinubu's administration is working hard to reduce the huge army of jobless Nigerians.

Appointees like the CBN Governor, Yemi Cardoso and his team are working hard to ensure they give a desired kick to the economy so that Nigerians come 2027 will look back and say, yes, "from 2023, our lives under Tinubu have improved qualitatively", then the millions of votes cast for Tinubu to emerge our President will not have been wasted.
With the enormous resources of the country, the Tinubu administration cannot peddle any excuse for failing to deliver on his Renew Hope Mandate and the direly needed public goods. That will answer the question of whether any section of the country can decide the outcome of the Peoples choice come 2027.

Before the elections in 2023, there was an apparent gang up against the candidacy of Tinubu from almost every region of the country and the then incumbent government. But these political manipulations from different politicians in the country was extinguished by the Nigerian electorates corkscrew drive for change of the Buhari administration.

The economy was collapsing; the social structure was hastily diminishing; Characters like the then CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele turned political Presidential Aspirant introduced manipulative and detrimental financial policies aimed not only at President Tinubu but Nigerians as a whole, the state of insecurity was day-by-day becoming excruciating.

President Tinubu inherited a fancy attractive well packaged economic disaster, a complete failed economy but he's not complaining neither do you see him blaming the past administration like most previous administrations do.

"The trifling frequencies of the Obidients brouhaha and wild imaginary 'stolen mandate' imaginary victory aimed at creating obvious displays of discontent from the electorates, not limited to political religious gangsterism and outright lamentation of rigging by the opposition thrown at President Tinubu were more challenging that the presumed covert scheme to thwart his potential bid for re-election in 2027 by some few entitled individuals from the north will fail.

In the words of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu "Do not relent in your pursuit. You too can be our heroes of tomorrow," so come 2027 we will deliver and be counted as heroes of tomorrow.

When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft, we had an ambitious goal: to put a computer on every desk and in every home. A lot of people thought we were out of our minds. But we believed in the power and potential of these machines to change the world.

So every day, we came to work determined to make it happen. Now, it’s hard to imagine the world any other way. In a few short decades, that goal became reality for billions.

In 1990, the possibility that the world would be able to cut child mortality in half over the next thirty years would have seemed just as remote. But that’s exactly what happened. And I believe the world can do it again by 2040—we can cut child mortality in half once more—and get even closer to ending all preventable child deaths.

My introduction to this issue came 27 years ago, when I read a piece in the New York Times about deadly drinking water in the world’s poorest countries that contained the following statistic: “Diarrhea kills some 3.1 million people annually, almost all of them children.”

Learning that shocked me to my core. There’s no greater pain than the death of a child. The death of millions of them—from something easily treatable in much of the world—is tragedy after tragedy on an almost unfathomable scale.

Before long, I was learning everything I could about global health generally and child mortality specifically. And shortly after, the Gates Foundation, which was just getting off the ground, made it our mission to fight preventable health disparities like this around the world—with an emphasis on children whose lives were being cut short before they ever had a chance.

We had phenomenal partners in that effort across governments, in the private sector, and from foundations and organizations that share our mission.

And by 2019, something remarkable had happened—what I consider to be one of the most important things humanity has ever achieved: In under three decades, child mortality was cut by more than half. (For more about how this happened, and all the partners who deserve credit, see my blog post from two years ago).

Measles deaths fell 90 percent thanks to vaccines. Pneumonia deaths fell 70 percent, also thanks to vaccines. Deaths from diarrhea—which killed 3 million kids a year not too long ago—fell 70 percent, too, thanks to low-tech interventions like oral rehydration solution, large-scale sanitation programs, and (yes, you guessed it) a new rotavirus vaccine. Malaria deaths fell 36 percent thanks to effective bed nets and sprays. Even deaths from HIV, which more than tripled as a killer of kids in the 1990s, fell 33 percent once we figured out how to protect and treat mothers so they don’t pass the virus on to their babies.

It wasn’t just the child mortality rates from these diseases that went down, though. Year after year, the raw number of overall childhood deaths fell—even as the global population rose—from 12 million in 1990 to five million in 2019.

We’ve made incredible progress, and we keep moving in the right direction. But we aren’t moving fast enough. Just under five million kids still die each year before reaching their fifth birthday. Another two million are stillborn. Virtually all of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries—and every single one is a tragedy that devastates families and entire communities.

My blog post from two years ago told the first part of this story—explaining what we know about child mortality and what we did to cut it in half once before. This is part two: how we can cut child mortality in half again, to below three million deaths a year by 2040.

The main reason I believe we can do this is because we already have most of the tools we need. As we shared in last year’s Goalkeepers Report, “Researchers have learned more about the health of mothers and babies over the past 10 years than they did in the century before that.” While continued innovation is always necessary, we currently have the know-how to save millions of lives—it’s a matter of putting it to use and making sure it reaches the children who need it most.

That begins before children even take their first breaths. It begins with mothers.

When a mother dies during childbirth, her child has a more than 63 percent chance of dying before their first birthday. To save those kids’ lives—and so many others by 2040—we need to focus on keeping women healthy before and throughout pregnancy, so they can deliver and raise healthy children.

Stop women from bleeding to death after childbirth
Around the world, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)—defined by the WHO as losing more than half a liter of blood within 24 hours of childbirth—is the primary cause of maternal mortality. Often, it isn’t caught until it’s too late, because it’s hard to know how much blood loss is too much.

But with a low-cost tool called a calibrated obstetric drape and a trained birth attendant monitoring it, blood loss can be accurately measured in real time.

By bundling five interventions that stop the bleeding and administering them simultaneously rather than sequentially—an approach known as E-MOTIVE—healthcare workers can slash cases of severe bleeding by 60 percent. By screening for and treating anemia, a common cause of PPH, during pregnancy, the world can prevent some PPH cases entirely.

Prevent life-threatening infections during labor
Sepsis—a life-threatening condition in which the immune system overreacts to an infection, causing widespread inflammation and organ damage—is another common cause of maternal mortality. In the U.S., it’s responsible for 23 percent of cases. But researchers have recently discovered that azithromycin, one of the world’s most common antibiotics, can reduce sepsis cases by a third when given preventatively.

This discovery will be lifesaving for mothers—and therefore babies—especially in places where many women give birth at home, in conditions that aren’t necessarily sterile.

Speed up the development of babies’ lungs
When babies are born pre-term, before 37 weeks of pregnancy, their organs are still under-developed—especially the lungs, one of the last organs to finish growing inside the womb. That leaves these babies vulnerable to a whole host of potentially fatal complications. But now, if doctors learn a mother is at risk of going into pre-term labor, they can prescribe her antenatal corticosteroids that help her baby’s lungs grow as much as they would over a few weeks—in just a few days.

Fight malnutrition before and after birth
Without a healthy microbiome—the universe of bacteria inside the gut—babies struggle to absorb the nutrients in breast milk no matter how much they’re fed. That malabsorption is doubly destructive because it can lead to malnutrition, which can leave babies more susceptible to contracting and dying from pneumonia.

While experts used to believe that malnutrition could only be treated at around six months—once a baby starts eating solid foods—we now know that the microbiomes of mothers and babies are connected. That means micronutrient supplements can be given to pregnant women; when they are, babies gain an additional 5 grams of weight each day during the late stages of pregnancy and are more likely to be born with a healthy gut.

And when a baby is born underweight or pre-term, probiotic powders that include bifidobacteria can be added to breast milk to improve their digestive system, help them absorb nutrients, and reduce their risk of contracting severe infections and dying.

The focus, with each of these interventions, is on the beginning of a newborn baby’s life (and the lead-up to it). Why? Because half of all deaths of children under five occur in the first 28 days. If a baby is born healthy and survives that first month, the odds increase dramatically that they will live to see their fifth birthday—and then onto adulthood. Making this happen will require renewed investments by governments and organizations around the world to get these life-saving interventions out to the people and places where they’re so sorely needed. But it doesn’t require much new invention. Again: The solutions to cut child mortality in half again already exist. (And they’re all low-cost.)


Of course, there’s still much more to do to eliminate preventable deaths of children altogether. We need to continue improving sanitation and increasing access to clean drinking water around the world. We need to develop a vaccine for HIV and next-generation malaria vaccines to really stop them in their tracks; as we saw over the last 30 years, diseases with effective vaccines declined much faster than those we try to control without them.


We also need to ramp up vaccine distribution efforts, with an emphasis on reaching the 60 million “zero-dose” kids in lower-income countries who’ve never received a single immunization and now make up half of all childhood deaths from diseases with effective vaccines

These numbers spiked during the pandemic, when routine immunizations were disrupted and vaccine misinformation surged.

Fortunately, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance—which has helped vaccinate over 981 million children in the world’s poorest countries since 2000—is working around the clock to reach these kids. The organization will be having its next replenishment cycle soon, and the more money raised, the more lives saved. I often say that giving to Gavi is the best investment I’ve ever made.

None of this work is easily accomplished. Most goals worth achieving aren’t, though, especially one as important as this. But with the right commitment, I think preventable child deaths will one day be as unimaginable to us as life without computers. And in the not-too-distant future, a world where all children have the same chance to survive and thrive—no matter where they’re born—will become reality, too.

THIS Heartbreaking Video brought out tears from people who watched it.

It was the video of an aged woman who was approached by an unidentified young lady who gifted her the sum of N50,000 at the time she needed it most but least expected it at the time.

THE STORY:

THE lady asked Mama if she can help to locate anyone who was in need of N50,000, she wanted to assist her. Mama said she has a friend who she can help with the cash, probably if the money is given to her she can assist her too from it.

While on their way, the lady told Mama she was only trying to test her integrity and that the money is meant for her.

Mama was perplexed, she said she doesn't know what she and her grandchildren whose parents had died would eat.

She added that she used ordinary water to wash her grandchildren's clothes because she had no N50.00 (Fifty Naira Only) to buy detergent to wash the cloth, she now cried to God.

While praying for this young lady, the lady wept because she never knew the extent of what she has done for this old woman in order to alleviate her pains.


It was so emotional.

THE meeting called by the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to resolve the crisis on the just concluded gubernatorial primary election in Ondo State was inconclusive according to report available to SOJ WORLDWIDE on Thursday, April 25, 2024.

In the Minutes of the Meeting, each Aspirants voiced out their grievances which were majorly contrary to resolving the crisis.

READ UPDATE ON ABUJA MEETING WITH GANDUJE
"The National Chairman, Alhaji Ganduje, thanked everybody for coming despite short notice. He pleaded with all the aspirants who attended the meeting to forget about the past in the interest of the party.

In summary, he begged them to accept the outcome of the Gubernatorial primary election.

Senator Jimoh Ibrahim:
In his response, he told Alhaji Ganduje that he has no conscience. He said he paid #100 million for members validation, yet he could not vote. He said nobody can tell him to accept the outcome of an election that was never held.

Wale Akinterinwa:
He said no election took place in Ondo state. He told the chairman he had drone video evidence to prove that no election took place. He said he would not accept the outcome of the election that was not held.

Chief Olusola Oke, SAN:
You deviated from your guidelines totally. I am thinking about party members who were violently attacked by thugs that were freely deployed to scuttle the entire process. It is difficult to accept an outcome of an event that never took place.

Hon Gbenga Edema:
Mr Chairman, you have 48 hours to redress the injustice. No election ever held in Omdo state.

Egnr Ife Oyedele: Imagine, I couldn't even vote in my ward. How do you organise an election that almost all the aspirants can not vote? Mr Chairman, what your men did was wrong.

Prof. Faduyile Francis: You asked us not to talk about the election. I am a pathologist, In any event postmortem, it is important to ascertain what happens so that we can prefer solutions. No election was held in Ondo state.

Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa:
I plead with you all to join me. I have not filled out all the available positions because of a day like this. If I have filled all the positions, I would have overrun all of you in the election. (Cuts in... the national chairman asked him to withdraw the statement when Senator Jimoh Ibrahim told the governor that he was the one that would have been overun had it been the election was conducted).

Jimi Odimayo:
He said he has moved on.

Diran Iyantan:
he said he has nothing to say.

Mayowa Akimfolarin:
The party has spoken, I accept the decision of the party.

Soji Ehinlanwo
 They should take care of members. He called it "people's management"

A 60-year-old man simply identified as Kenneth was allegedly tortured to death by his siblings and the vigilante group in Anambra State.

He was seen in a viral video monitored by SOJ WORLDWIDE being tied down with severe beatings while he was groaning in pains.  He was accused of stealing a Water Tank in his family house and sold it to make ends meet.

His captors had no pity on him until he breadth his last.

This is happening in the same country where ex-Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello Who Allegedly Stole over N80 billion from the state coffers still have the audacity to challenge the authority.

"@X_Dailly
A 60 YEAR OLD MAN, MR. KENNETH FROM TORTURED TO DEATH BY HIS OWN PEOPLE.

Kenneth was said to have sold a water tank in his family house and used the money to solve family issues.

His younger brother arrested him with Vigilante group. He was tortured for hours and died in the process. As he was being tortured, he continuously asked them “WHAT DID I DO”? They responded to him that he stole.

I wish to call Governor
@CCSoludo and @AnambraPolice
to act accordingly and ensure these perpetrators don’t escape justice.

Currently his wife and children are subjected to fear and intimidation as they have vowed to deal with them if they continue to seek for justice for the death of Mr Kenneth.

ONE of the notable All Progressives Congress, APC Governorship Aspirants in the party's primary election, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim has called for outright cancellation of the election held on April 20, 2024 across the state.

Jimoh in a Press Statement gave five grounds why the election should be cancelled and fresh election conducted.

Senator Ibrahim on his part, hinged his appeal for cancellation of the election on four grounds, including non-compliance with the rules, non-provision of electoral materials, non-accreditation of agents and gross misconduct.

“This is an appeal to your committee to cancel the Primary election held in Ondo state on 20th April 2024 on the ground that there was no election in the 203 wards, and this is evidenced from the many petitions before your committee as captured on the grounds below.

“Ground One, non-compliance with your rules, I paid the sum of N100m for the validation of over 40 thousand party members and those members were not allowed to be revalidated across Ondo State, this was because no voters register was made available in the wards to which members could be validated.
“On ground two no provision of electoral materials electoral materials were provided for the conduct of the election, the local government electoral officials were kept in the hotel during the period of the election for several hours and only result sheets were given to them. The ward electoral officers were provided by one of the aspirants, Lucky Ayedatiwa.

“Ground three non-accreditation of agents. My agents were not accredited in all the wards, and they did not sign the election result sheet since none was made available to them.

“The fourth ground is on gross misconduct. I received in my house in the village, Igbotako at 7 pm on the day of election the local government returning officer and members of his committee.

They informed me that they were in my house to capture my vote but I sent them away since my house is not a polling venue. The returning officer said he was instructed from above.

The Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, like Josef Onoh condemned the position of NEF regretting supporting Tinubu's presidency in 2023 election and for saying it will withdraw its support in 2027 but have now chicken out from their earlier stance.

It is good to note that the trio Matawalle, Ribadu and Onoh are unrepentant and diehard supporters of Tinubu's administration and this they have not hidden from public domain unlike others who are still sitting on the fence who are difficult to know where they stand.

At one time or the other, Matawalle has received attacks as a result of his opposition to the stand of the NEF calling them a 'burden' and 'paperweight' that do not represent the voice or interest of the North.

Onoh stands out for hitting the NEF where it matters most that actually forced them to make a public statement renouncing their earlier position on Tinubu's administration.


THE Northern Elders Forum, NEF, in twist of events finally reacted to the attacks on it for withdrawing its support for President Bola Tinubu's administration and vowing not to vote him in 2027 Presidential elections.

NEF in their reaction, bowed and denied that Tinubu has not done anything in the North to warrant his Second Term in office, this was after Dr. Josef Onoh took upon himself to itemize remarkable achievements and strategic appointments Tinubu made in the North at the expense of the Southeast.

Onoh equally mentioned how elites in the North are adverse to the development of the region by not giving any attention and support to the plight of the Almajiris by denying them quality education to perpetuate themselves in power.

"There is so much to say but so little said, but if clearly these Northern Elders regret voting for Tinubu who clearly elevated their sons and daughters politically to the detriment of my South East region then it's clear and obvious they hate the progress of the North and don't speak for the North rather their voices and regrets belong "in the other room" and have no place or significance in 2027." - said Onoh.

In its reaction, the Northern Elders Forum, NEF distanced from the statement credited to it that it regretted voting Tinubu as the President.

The statement reads:

“The attention of NEF has been drawn to a statement credited to the Forum by media – that the North regrets voting for President Bola Tinubu.


“NEF wishes to distance itself from the statement as it did not emanate from the Forum as it is the opinion of the person in his personal capacity and not that of NEF.


“Thus, the statement credited to NEF does not reflect the position of the Forum as it has never sat and assessed performance or non-performance of Tinubu administration.

“Similarly, NEF has never discussed, in any time, the politics of 2027 nor has it deliberated on who to support or not to support on such issues.

“The NEF considers it too early to be engaged in such distractions when NEF, like most Nigerians, are demanding good governance and dividends of democracy.

“NEF, for now prefers to, focus on advocating for what improves the Northern Region and Nigeria as a whole.

“The NEF charges leaders to always verify and authenticate information and treat issues within their specific contexts before making public pronouncement.”

When contacted, the former President Tinubu’s Southeast Spokesman and current Chairman of Forum of Former Members of Enugu State House of Assembly (FOF-MENHA), Dr. Josef Onoh said, politics aside, he will always hold the Northern Elders in highest esteem because they are our elders.

"Although, when elders delve into politics they seemed to loose their respects but that does not mean the Northern Elders are not held in the highest esteem.

In every organization there maybe few disgruntled elements that does not translate that all of them are disgruntled."

Onoh expressed his reservations on the protests of NEF against alleged killings of cows in the southeast.

He condemned it in its entirety the allegations of killings of cows by Eastern Security Networks, ESN.

He called on the Chairman of Ohanaeze, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu who is a pan-Nigerian to meet with the Northern Elders to put a lasting solution to the lingering crisis among the major ethnic nationalities including the Afenifere in the Southwest over cattle attacks on farmlands and killings of farmers by the cattle rearers.

"They should map out strategies and pathways to sustain peace in Nigeria", Onoh said.

Onoh added that Southeast have also been complaining about gross damages done to their farms by the cattles, despite this, our elders whom I know meant well for the unity and peace of Nigeria should come together to foster togetherness for the sake of generations yet unborn.

OLUJIMI Adekanle, JAF, a Public Affairs Analyst who has been a consistent 'thorn in the flesh' of Betty Akeredolu, wife of former Ondo State Governor, late Rotimi Akeredolu has fired another salvo at the former First Lady over her attacks on the recently concluded  APC primary election.

Betty, in her reaction to the election said it was massively rigged by professional riggers with reference to Nigeria as a Zoo country.

In Adekanle's reaction available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, he addressed Betty as someone who is shameless and that democracy was murdered in their tenure with evidence of many atrocities committed by her.


"This write-up shows how wicked and a liar this shameless woman is, during their time in Ondo state was when democracy was murdered when Aketi was rigged to win the ticket.


She and her family were busy collecting money from almost all aspirants of APC in Ondo State, she formed a conventional 419 ring cartel where she recruited her Igbo folks as catchers while she turned Ondo State people to 'Mugus', where they will collect money from more than three aspirants for just one position. 

Has she suddenly forgot how they hijacked voting process from Akoko to Akure?

That was the daylight robbery that produced the current House of Representatives member Gboyega Adefarati when Hon. Adeogun was denied the ticket.

Has this lucifer forgotten so soon how they wrote results in Government house, she has also suddenly forgot thugs in Aketi's branded campaign vehicles displaying guns, shooting on air to scare opposition during election?

Has she forgot how Femi Adekanbi was chased out of Owo during the election period in Owo?

How the current Deputy Governor was harassed in his Owo hometown?


This shameless woman has also forgot how she turned herself to a dictator in our state where if you don't bribe her you can not get anything in the state despite not holding any constitutional office, how she took 800 SUBEB contracts to herself out of 1660 contracts meant for the state, how she took state apparatus to her village for campaign for her failed Senatorial Election in Imo South Senatorial election, how she tried to impose an Igbo woman in Odigbo Local Government as chairman as against the wish of the people, is that democracy?


Very soon we are going to open the books of looting of our treasury by her, her children and in-laws.

This shameless former 'fingerlinks' seller now a billionaire has the guts to call Nigeria a ZOO and it is this same ZOO that you looted from that gave you that status of a billionaire and choice properties scattered all over the world. May God punishment locate you IJMN.
As far as Ondo State is concerned you are a foreigner here and you don't have any stake here rather than to retrieve all you have stolen from our State, all our State vehicles you and your family took away will be retrieve from all of you.
Olujimi Adekanle JAF
Public Affairs Analyst."

BETTY Anyanwu-Akeredolu, former first Lady of late Governor of Ondo State, Oluwaferanmi Akeredolu has condemned the All Progressives Congress, APC Primary election held in Ondo State on Saturday, April 21, 2024.

In a Press Release signed by Betty available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, she said the adversaries of Aketi has succeeded in "urinating on his grave with relish."

She referred to Nigeria as a Zoo and that what Aketi worked for in seven years have been bastardized.

"What happened, yesterday, at the primaries was unprecedented. It was terrible! Never experienced that kind of kangaroo and fraudulent primaries in Ondo State in the last 7 years.

It was like Aketi's adversaries have succeeded in urinating on his grave with relish. The hands of professional election riggers known and unknown were all over the place.

Without credible elections, Nigeria will continue to crawl with disabilities in leadership given that the power interlopers at the helm of affairs lack character, compassion, sincerity of purpose, mental and intellectual capacities for providing quality leadership required to stand firm and engage in impactful developmental strides.

It will interest you to note that, throughout the election cycles during Aketi's time, elections were relatively free and fair. Though tension soaked yet interesting to be involved or watch.

No thuggery, (Aketi was known for NOT encouraging thuggery), voters voted in peace without molestation. Go and verify as PO would say.

I make bold to say that Nigeria witnessed peace and decorum in the conduct of elections in Ondo State while Aketi was the Governor. Imagine, PDP won 2 MHA seats in Akoko and Aketi didn't upturn them.

I remember party stalwarts wanted him to reverse the results to favour APC but he refused stating that it was the choice of the constituents.

I was very proud of my husband because that's how things should be if we were in a sane clime.

Sadly Nigeria is a ZOO! It is heartbreaking that the positive changes in the conduct of elections that Aketi nurtured for 7 years have been thrown to the dogs.

Thuggery is back in Ondo State politics with vengeance. Beeni! Big time!!!
Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu writes from Owo, Ondo State."

KIDNAPPERS struck on Thursday as they abducted a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Olugbenga Olawore, alongside other passengers while they were in a 14-seater commercial bus heading to Lagos State from Ipapo town in Oyo State.

Olawore, whose mother died in February, currently pastors RCCG, Heavens Gate Parish, Lagos Province 73, along Agbara-Lusada Road, Ogun State.

 SOJ WORLDWIDE  learned that the incident occurred at the Maya axis of Lanlate-Eruwa Road at about 5 pm when the pastor was returning from Ipapo town, where he went to put the final touches on the burial arrangements for his mother.

The burial of his mother, Deaconess Deborah Olawore, was said to have been scheduled to commence with a Christian Wake next week on Friday, April 26, while the burial was slated for Friday, May 3.

A family source told  SOJ WORLDWIDE  that after holding the pastor and others hostage, the kidnappers called his wife at about 8 pm and allowed him to talk to her.

The pastor was said to have told his wife that he was kidnapped with others and that the abductors were demanding N10 million as ransom.


The source said one of the kidnappers who called the wife broke out in his language, making it known that he and his gang members were of Fulani extraction.

He was said to have called again the following day at about 9 a.m., and the pastor started appealing to his wife to look for money, even if it was N1 million, and not allow the abductors to kill him as they had done to some of those held hostage.

“When the wife asked where to drop the money if it was eventually gathered from friends and relatives, the abductors beside her husband started speaking in a language she did not understand.

Abruptly, he cut off the call, and attempts by the wife to call back failed as the line had been switched off.

“She kept on trying the line, but it remained switched off. At about noon, she contacted a family member to go to the police station to report. That was on Friday,” it was disclosed.

The source said further that when the pastor’s relatives got to the police station, he met family members of other kidnapping victims. He learned that the police recovered the abandoned commercial bus and some phones belonging to some victims.

The wife of the pastor reportedly waited in vain for the call from the kidnappers until Saturday morning, when she learned that one of the kidnapping victims who was able to escape had his phone and called the police. Hunters came into the bush and dislodged the kidnappers, making them and their victims flee in different directions.

“Till now, she has not been able to communicate with her husband, as the kidnappers did not call,” the source stated.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the kidnapping case but said that some of them had been rescued.

The PPRO disclosed that police operatives, in collaboration with other security agencies and local hunters, were in the forest and surrounding areas of the incident to rescue the remaining victims and arrest the suspects.

He said,

“Some of the rescued victims are assisting with useful leads that can help the investigation. All routes around the area, including the adjoining forest areas, are being combed.

“Investigation is ongoing. Updates would be provided accordingly.”

In his 1987 novel about a high-profile criminal trial in New York City, author Tom Wolfe has one of the lead characters, Assistant District Attorney Larry Kramer, share an open secret about how juries are selected: “You get people who come into the jury box with their minds – how should I say it? – set in a certain way. There’s a lot of Us versus Them.”

In “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” the big dividing line was race. In this week’s mammoth New York trial of former President Donald Trump on charges of falsifying business records in connection to hush money paid to an adult film star, the yawning gap between “Us” and “Them” is along partisan lines.

That dynamic has already reared its head, as at least 50 jurors – representing more than half of the first group of prospective jurors – were dismissed on the first day of jury selection Monday because they said they couldn’t be impartial.

The mass dismissal underscores the difficulty of finding acceptable jurors and is just the first obstacle facing the unprecedented prosecution of a former President that will leave a bad taste in many voters’ mouths from the unmistakable political undertones.

It should come as no surprise that it will be hard to find jurors who don’t bring strong political predispositions to bear given that the motivation for bringing this case looks to be so transparently political. The circus that is the first-ever criminal trial of a former President illustrates why this particular case may have been a poor choice to break that precedent.


Though seven were sworn in on Tuesday, there were still illustrations of the problems of a politicized jury pool.

One potential juror who underwent questioning, for instance, was subsequently struck for cause after Trump’s team found social media posts from the juror referencing Trump that say, “Get him out” and “Lock him up.”


Former US President Donald Trump attends the first day of his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs, at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City on April 15, 2024. Trump is in court Monday as the first US ex-president ever to be criminally prosecuted, a seismic moment for the United States as the presumptive Republican nominee campaigns to re-take the White House.


The scandal-plagued 77-year-old is accused of falsifying business records in a scheme to cover up an alleged sexual encounter with adult film actress Stormy Daniels to shield his 2016 election campaign from adverse publicity.

Indeed, it seems unlikely that this case would be being prosecuted with the same vigor and creative legal theorizing if Trump were an everyday citizen.

After all, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg came into office promising to focus on the ongoing investigation of Trump, and would have likely felt political heat from New York Democrats had he decided to close the investigation without bringing charges.

In the end, as The New York Times reported in March 2023, Bragg’s office took a “circuitous and sometimes uncertain road” to filing criminal charges, reviving a dying investigation that originally focused on Trump’s business practices with a renewed focus on hush money payments.

To Bragg’s supporters, it’s a mark of his diligence and fortitude that he left no stone unturned. To his detractors, the drawn-out investigation, seeming to pivot from one potential crime to another, gives the impression of a DA looking for a crime to pin on an unfavored individual. (Trump has pleaded not guilty.)

After all, making hush money payments, as Trump is alleged to have done with former adult film actress Stormy Daniels, isn’t illegal.

Instead, the case is built around a rather aggressive interpretation of the relevant statutes: In his records, Trump recorded his reimbursement to former “fixer” Michael Cohen, who handled the Daniels payment, as a legal expense. This deception would normally be considered a misdemeanor offense in New York State.

But Bragg, unwilling to let Trump off the hook easily, is hinging his case on the allegation that this misdemeanor offense was in service of a violation of federal campaign finance laws. The Federal Election Commission opted not to charge Trump with a violation of election law on this front, with two Republican Commissioners noting that Cohen had already pleaded guilty in relation to the alleged violation, and further government action “was not the best use of resources.”


Former US President Donald Trump and attorney Susan Necheles attend a hearing to determine the date of his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs, at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City on March 25, 2024.

Another problem, as National Review’s Andrew McCarthy has pointed out, is that Bragg, a state prosecutor, is seeking to enforce a federal statute, bringing this case against an offense “that the feds themselves did not believe Trump committed, and that Bragg is politically engineering into a new election law of his very own.”

Not that Trump is blameless in this. Trump’s manifest character flaws and history of shady dealings are being highlighted, once again, by a trial that includes the phrases “hush money” and “porn star.” And even while this case faces significant legal scrutiny from lawyers and legal commentators, his other pending trials, such as his handling of classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago home or his attempt to bully Georgia election officials in 2020, do run a much stronger risk of placing him in serious legal danger.

In a sense, it’s hard to blame the jurors who feel they can’t be impartial. For decades, Trump has been a fixture on our airwaves, social media sites and political coverage. And his well-documented celebrity, outrageous social media posts and charged political rhetoric make him a challenge for even the most sober-minded juror to treat as an individual rather than a politician.

Trump also has an unquestioned ability to push his supporters to defend the indefensible, even as he induces his opponents to stretch the envelope in their attempts to derail his candidacy. As such, no matter how the current trial is resolved, it will emphasize yet again how Republicans could – and, I would argue, should – have picked a presidential nominee with less baggage.

But they didn’t, and now many are feeling a rally-round-the-flag effect in what is likely the first and potentially only Trump criminal case that’s going to trial before Election Day.

If Democrats are so willing to come up with creative legal theories to keep him out of office, some voters may think that all their rhetoric about “constitutional norms” wasn’t as high-minded as it sounded.

The recent Supreme Court decision unanimously striking down Colorado’s attempt to remove Trump from the ballot was a reminder that too-cute attempts to keep Trump out of the White House can backfire. And the flimsiness of the hush money case will allow Trump’s supporters to downplay the seriousness of the other charges against him, making it less likely that they will have a significant political impact in November.

Bragg’s decision to bring this case, with its attenuated connection to an actual crime, can’t be taken out of its political context. The weakness of this case muddies the water for future efforts to attack Trump’s more egregious conduct.

The jury selection and following court maneuverings will highlight how strong the disagreements are between “Us” and “Them.” And Trump’s ability to push both his supporters and his detractors past the bounds of normal political battles, and to Washington, DCpull out all the stops to win, will remain unparalleled.

THE leaders of the Socio-Cultural Organisation in the Southwest, Afenifere on Wednesday, April 17, 2024 paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

The visit was in reciprocation of Tinubu's thank you visit to the leader of the Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti after he became the President few months ago.

In a Press Release signed by the Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), Ajuri Ngelale available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, the President reaffirm his determination to revamp the economy, fight insecurity to the barest minimum and make Nigeria safe for all and sundry.

"President Bola Tinubu says his administration remains undeterred in its pursuit of comprehensive economic security for the country while addressing foundational challenges and creating a fair and equitable system in which all Nigerians can thrive.

Speaking when he received leaders of Afenifere, the respected Yoruba Socio-Cultural Organization, at the State House in Abuja, on Wednesday, the President said his administration is re-engineering Nigeria’s finances and seeking to boost the purchasing power of citizens, and spread prosperity down the line, by instituting a credit system where the element of cash is not an impediment to a significantly enhanced standard of living for all citizens.

He said Nigeria must secure itself economically first before it can achieve any of its more sophisticated objectives.

‘’We are committed to the economic survival of our country. To re-engineer the finances of our country, we must start in earnest. So first, retool, revamp the economic opportunities available, and resolve to continue taking the firm and steady baby steps that are necessary.

‘’Education is a strong weapon against poverty. To empower the people, we must invest in the future of our youths. We have seen the problems parents face in training their children in school; it is the reason why we established the National Student Loan Programme, which is taking off well.

‘’We are equally examining what to do with the high degree of unemployment. We must help vulnerable people by providing social security.


We are looking at how to provide allowances for the unemployed, and we are developing ways to boost the purchasing power of citizens with the Consumer Credit Scheme.

If we remove the cash upfront element to buy a car or a house, we will reduce the propensity for fraud and corruption across the land,’’ President Tinubu said.

Speaking on security, the President declared that those who threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria would pay a heavy price.

‘’I am irrevocably committed to the unity of Nigeria and constitutional democracy.

Constitutional democracy is reflected greatly here since we assumed office. What we face now is the challenge of terrorism. Security of life and property is very necessary for development. I can tell you we are achieving success. We have degraded terrorism to a level that they cannot threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria any longer.

‘’Banditry and kidnapping will be defeated. And there is no payment of ransom whatsoever. We are taking the battle to them.


We are getting results more rapidly than before. We are working hard on intelligence gathering. Those who think they can threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria will have themselves to blame.

They have a price to pay. And we are not going to relent,’’ the President affirmed.

The President thanked the esteemed delegation for their prayers and support, assuring them that he would not relent in his resolve to advance Nigeria.
‘’God bless Nigeria. God bless our unity; our diversity must bring prosperity for all for the sake of Nigeria,’’ President Tinubu concluded.
Earlier in his remarks, His Royal Majesty, Oba Olu Falae commended the President for his courageous decisions and for the rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, as well as other critical ongoing projects.

He urged the President not to relent in ensuring fairness and equity for all Nigerians while noting the importance of a constitutional amendment to devolve more powers to the states.

‘’We are delighted about what you are doing for our country, and we assure you of our continued support. We thank you for your visit to Akure in February 2024, and we believe it is right and proper to reciprocate your kind gesture. We appreciate this relationship, and we need to make it work in the interest of Nigeria.

‘’Mr. President, you are the leader of Nigeria now and the most important political figure in Africa.

We expect you, in view of your legacy and pedigree, to lead our country with knowledge, courage, and integrity. We have no doubt that your tenure will mark a turning point in the history of our country. Under your leadership, Nigeria will be repositioned.

‘’We will stand by you as you make all efforts to change the Nigeria story for the better. Be assured Afenifere will not abandon you in fair or foul weather.

As long as you remain faithful to the principles of fairness, integrity, and courage that is expected of you as the leader of Nigeria, we will stand by you,’’ Oba Falae said.

The delegation was led by Pa Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere; Oba Olu Falae, alongside other eminent citizens.

THE Nigerian national currency, the Naira, is recovering from its position of dishonour to the position of honour courtesy, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Yemi Cardoso and his team with the maximum support of President Bola Tinubu.

In the past one month, Naira has gained N900.00 against the United States Dollars while the prices of commodities, petrol and others remain where it was when Naira was N1,900 to a Dollar.


Business is a risk, you either lose or win, you either gain or suffer loss. 
It is not logical to tell Nigerians to wait till stocks of commodities is exhausted before prices come down, they did not wait before adding to their prices at slighted information of marginal falling of Naira.

Nigerians are always at the receiving ends suffering from what they are not privy to.

Had Naira falling to N2,500, by this time, a litre of petrol would have been N1,000 or more, now that it is N1,000 to USD, prices remain where it used to be.

Are we going put the blame at the doorsteps of the President?  Tinubu is doing his best, it is now left for Nigerians to make life worth a living for one another.


In the Black Market of Dollar To Naira Exchange Rate Today, the USD to Naira currency pair are the most traded currency in the FX market.

Ten years ago today, 276 girls were abducted in the night from their school in Chibok, northeastern Nigeria. The attack by Boko Haram pricked the conscience of the world. From London to Washington, protesters held placards reading #BringBackOurGirls—the hashtag the girls' families had posted to pressure their idle government into action. It would take almost three weeks for then-Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan even to make a public announcement. Critical time had been lost.

When this March, 137 children were tragically taken from a school in Kaduna, northwestern Nigeria, the shadow of Chibok lay ever present. Why, Nigerians and the world asked, after the passage of a decade was such an atrocity still happening?

This time, unlike Chibok, the girls and boys were brought back a fortnight later, the security and intelligence agencies deployed immediately to rescue them. Nevertheless, legitimate concerns over kidnappings persist in Africa's most populous country.

Success in Kaduna has brought families relief and praise for the military, yet the government bears no illusions: The scourge of kidnappings must be routed once and for all.

It begins with recognizing the changing nature of the threat. Boko Haram translates to "Western Education is Forbidden" and reflects an ideological impetus as jihadi insurgents opposed to the very idea of a Nigerian state.

Today, Boko Haram are splintered, and mass abductions are primarily the work of criminal gangs. There is no ideology here: kidnapping has become an illegal industry rewarded with ransoms. Within days of the Kaduna attack, the abductors were demanding 1 billion naira ($600,000).Nothing was paid. As president, I have been clear that ransoms stop. Resolution through payment only perpetuates the wider problem. This extortion racket must be squeezed out of existence.

Meanwhile, the costs for perpetrators must be raised: They will receive not a dime, and instead security services' counter action.But compressing the kidnap for ransom market only addresses the pull factors. If we are to avoid funneling the same people into other crimes that cause normal Nigerians to feel insecure, we must address the push factors: poverty, inequality, and a paucity of opportunity. Criminal gangs can find easy recruits among those without either a job, or the prospect of one.

Some 63 percent of Nigerians are multidimensionally poor. They are bearing the economic consequences of a failure by successive governments to get to grip with the Nigerian economy. Fiscal and monetary albatrosses have grounded the country's flight, when surging demographics demand high economic growth to just maintain current standards of living.A decades-old fuel subsidy was exhausting paltry public finances. By 2022, the cost had ballooned to $10 billion—more than the government's combined spending on education, health care, and infrastructure in a budget of $40 billion.

Currency controls that artificially propped up the naira deterred investment and led to shortages of foreign exchange. For decades we have been financially ransoming ourselves. When my government took office last May, we faced a pile of debt obligations.

Just as with kidnappers, we had to be tough with the economy. Unsustainable market distortions had to be removed. As expected, floating the naira caused it to plunge. Given Nigeria is a net food importer, the average shopping basket has consequently risen in price. The removal of the fuel subsidy, in a country where many businesses and households rely on generators for power, has also had far reaching effects.

These reforms have caused pain across Nigeria; they are still painful. Yet there is no better alternative: These and other difficult reforms are necessary to arrest the economic rot that lies at the heart of insecurity.


Green shoots are now visible. In the first quarter of this year, foreign currency inflows have almost matched those for the whole of last year. A multi-billion forex backlog at the central bank has been cleared, giving foreign investors' confidence to invest in Africa's largest economy, safe in the knowledge they can repatriate earnings. The naira has begun to stabilize after its initial downward trend and has made huge gains against the dollar.

Talk of macroeconomics might seem remote from the challenge of insecurity. But without the fundamentals in place, it is impossible for an enabling environment where the private sector thrives, jobs are created, and opportunity is spread across the country. It is how we ensure children can go to school without fear.

For any who may have doubted our direction, it should now be clear. There will be no more ransoms paid—not to kidnappers, nor toward those policies which have trapped our people economically. Nigerians, and their economy, will be liberated.

Bola Tinubu is President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Former President Tinubu’s Southeast Spokesman and current Chairman of Forum of Former Members of Enugu State House of Assembly (FOF-MENHA), Dr. Josef Onoh has reacted to Northern Elders forum publicised regret voting for President Bola Tinubu.



Onoh in an exclusive interview with SOJ WORLDWIDE condemned in total terms the activities of most of the appointees of President Bola Tinubu for failing to propagate the monumental achievements Tinubu achieved so far within 10 months in power.



The son of the former Governor of old Anambra State and late Elder statesman said Tinubu's far reaching decisions and political will to turn around the economy cannot go without notice.



He wondered why it is those who are in the opposition like Reno Omokri, myself, Daniel Bwala and few others who are patriots that are doing what the appointees of the President ought to do.


"Going back memory lane, appointees like Otunba Olufemi Fani Kayode, Frank Nweke Jnr., Osita Chidoka Defended the President Olusegun Obasanjo administration against any political and opposition's verbal attacks and they delivered flawlessly even years after the administration has left.


Reno Omokri, Reuben Abati defended flawlessly and exceptionally the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan up till this day that everyone thinks twice before giving false narratives of the administration and today Reno Omokri is one of the greatest and best Ambassadors of the Tinubu led administration and one of the best promoters of our nation. He holds no political office under the Tinubu Government rather as a patriotic Nigerian who wants his nation to succeed and I ask,
"where are the President's appointees?"


Lai Mohammed, who even his little grandson questioned based on his notoriety for defending the Buhari led administration and also Bashir Ahmed who till today still defends the Buhari administration shows a total and alarming contrast with what is happening in the current administration.


With the exception of the Service Chiefs, who due to the nature and mandate of their offices are not permitted to engage in partisan politics, the few sincere Ambassadors of the current administration led by the Vice President who is fearless and unapologetic in defence of Tinubu administration, we have others like Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Bayo Onanuga, Tunde Rhaman, Matawalle, the EFCC Chairman, the CBN Governor, Finance Minister, Dele Alake and a handful of others that I won't mention but they know themselves.


"Nigerians should learn the general framework of the Tinubu led administration and then they should know where they come in contact with the government, which is expected to have been promoted by the appointees of the President, they should have been vocal at all times and educate the masses where the achievements of the administration touches their daily lives and where their influence is exerted on the government.



Rather, most of the President's appointees have made it look like a distant thing, someone else's business.


The President's appointees have forgotten that their most important responsibility is to promote this administration like a wheel or bar with series of projections on its edge, which transfers motion by engaging with projections on another wheel they must bear their share of responsibility for the smooth running of the entire machine." which isn't being done by their continuous silence.


" Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because he could do only a little."


Hence, I urge the President's appointees to look beyond the euphoria of their respective offices and stand in defence of the government more than ever before.


Even the various support groups that have not benefited anything from the government are more loyal, dedicated and committed in defence of the current administration. 




It is expected that the current appointees especially from the Northern axis themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce and serve this Government: and this is the only mode in which appointees have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to hold their various appointments.


Finally, moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.


It is time for Mr President to overhaul his cabinet as majority of his appointees don't share the same vision with him. 


It is either by their vocal support they are with us or by their silence they are against us. I commend and stand by Matawalle on his submissions."

Former President Tinubu’s Southeast Spokesman and current Chairman of Forum of Former Members of Enugu State House of Assembly (FOF-MENHA), Dr. Josef Onoh has reacted to Northern Elders forum publicised regret voting for President Bola Tinubu.


Onoh in his reaction said the regret of Northern Elders is because the President chose a perfect Northern running mate,  His Excellency, Kashim Shettima as his Vice President who they fear for his boldness, blunt submissions in every political situation and is nobody's puppet which is against their selfish interests.

Niger: Mohammed Idris. Minister of Information and National Orientation.

Niger: Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi. Minister of State, Agriculture and Food Security.

Plateau: Simon lalong. Minister of Labour and Employment

Benue: Sen. George Akume. Secretary General of the Federation.

The reason why the Northern Elders Forum regret voting for President Bola Tinubu, is because he appointed new Service Chiefs in the country and named former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu, as his new National Security Adviser (NSA) against their individual selfish interests and they resent the fact that under Ribadu's watch all the kidnapped students and citizens in the North were successfully rescued unlike what happened with the Chibok girls and I say " shame on them!

The reason why the Northern Elders Forum regret voting for President Bola Tinubu is because he reappointed Yusuf Magaji Bichi a simple gentleman the DG DSS to serve another term in office based on merit against political interest which went against their selfish interests.


Their is so much to say but so little said, but if clearly these Northern Elders regret voting for Tinubu who clearly elevated their sons and daughters politically to the detriment of my South East region then it's clear and obvious they hate the progress of the North and don't speak for the North rather their voices and regrets belong "in the other room" and have no place or significance in 2027.

On the other hand the South East do not have any regret not voting for the President going by distribution of appointments by the current administration which has only reaffirmed their earlier perceived fears because never in the history of political transitions after the Civil War have they been so isolated like they are in the current administration.

It's now a crime to be a South Easterners under the current political arrangement, they don't even feel any form of political inclusiveness, they hold the least appointment in the current administration and the least since the end of the civil war. Even the appointees are more like diaspora representatives selected by a few privileged few with access to the Presidency at the detriment of the true supporters of the President in the region, a truth they will do everything to hide from Mr. President.

As much as the Buhari administration wasn't all that accommodating security wise for the South East, yet they felt more sense of belonging than what they feel currently.

I urge President Tinubu to look beyond the political merchants who give him false narratives of how the South East is supporting his administration including the various political defections by various South East politicians jumping into the APC, they are worse and not different from the Northern Elders Forum who regret voting for you they are only trying to reap where they did not sow and I urge you not to be fooled by their political horse trading.

The South East, despite being the worst beneficiary of the current administration yet paid a heavy price and contributed immensely to the victory of the President.

The political hatred being unleashed on the South Easterners openly and on all Social Media sites for voting for Peter Obi and on same foundation the reason why they are punished by not appointing even those who worked for the victory of the President is based on the baseless claims that they failed to give the President 25% but in reality they gave him a greater victory.

PDP remains the dominating Party in the South East and to prove same even APC serving Governors in the South East failed to deliver their state to the President.

But by ensuring Peter Obi’s Labour Party won the entire South East Presidential elections, they robbed Atiku and the PDP from a victory that they would have taken and had it not been the victory of Labour Party the alternative would have been PDP which would have jeopardized the victory of President Tinubu hence I make bold to say that the South East gave you victory and rewarding us is not a favour but morally justified.

The Ministerial appointments with exception of that of Engr. Dave Umahi made by the President is not even recognised in the South East as the Ministers are totally detached from the People of South East and the states they represent and are more seen as Social Media South East BB Ninja representatives but unlike the Northern Elders Forum we are not complaining neither do they regret voting against us during the Presidential elections but today they accept you as their President and that's more to say than the region you have given so much unlike us you've given nothing.

The South East's highest political appointment is that of our illustrious sons the Chief OF THE NAVAL STAFF, VICE ADMIRAL EI OGALLA even that little grateful appointment they attempted to take it away but we are grateful you resisted their pressure and proved you are truly Mr. President. And Eng. Dave Umahi who is making us proud.

Currently the political isolation of the South East in the current administration is so traumatising that the South East is now struggling with the South South to claim Barr. Nyesom Wike as their son and an Igbo man just to feel they are part of your administration. And I ask how hopeless can it get.

Finally, the issue of out-of-school children mainly in Northern Nigeria is a major concern for the Tinubu led administration, which has left countless young minds without access to education, the severity of this crisis, revealing the top three states grappling with the highest percentages of out-of-school children in the North with
Kebbi, Sokoto, and Yobe stand out with alarming figures, where 67.6%, 66.4%, and 62.9% of children aged 6–15 are out of school, respectively.

These numbers paint a grim picture of the educational landscape in the North which the so called Northern Elders forum are not interested in the progress of the young Northern children due to their selfish reasons.

It shows deep-seated challenges hindering children’s right to learn and succeed in Northern Nigeria which currently is what the President Tinubu Administration is making frantic effort to eradicate which is against the wishes of the so called Northern Elders Forum as they know, access to education will liberate the region which will make them lose their strong hold on the masses.


I urge the younger generations and Northern brothers to always remember that though we may have our differences, yet we have more that unites us than that which divides us and it's the mentality and political vision of those who parade themselves as Elders in various forums whose political ideas and visions are no longer in line with the greater dreams of a greater united Nigeria that is our problem. I challenge the Northern Elders forum to dare me and I'll publish more positive achievements the Tinubu administration has and is still making towards the greater success of the North which they rather selfishly distributed amongst themselves to the detriment of our Northern brothers and since Mr. President wouldn't compromise they now regret voting for him.


Let me remind this same elders that we learnt from the mistakes of former president Jonathan"s administration and won't be fooled twice.


Igbos will continue to marry Yoruba and vice versa, Hausa, tiv, and all tribes will continue to inter marry, our problems is not in the union but in our morbidity to promote a better Nigeria.


Times are changing and we have no choice than to change with it. While the select few Elders that represent their own selfish interests try to sow the seed of discord between us and our President,

I urge every Nigerian to unite and stand with our President, we only have one nation, we only have one President and it's our collective responsibility to ensure his administration succeeds for we all will be part of that success story and not Labour Party, PDP, APC etc but Nigerians.

Come 2027, let the achievements of the President determine his fate and not the disgruntled voices of a select few that's being heard from "the other room."

SUSPECTED Yoruba Nation Agitators on Saturday, April 13, 2024 invaded the Oyo State Secretariat in Army Camouflage to take over power for the Yoruba Nation.

Curiously, the real Yoruba Nation leaders, Professor Banji Akintoye and Sunday Igboho said they did not know anything about it.

In this video, some of the agitators were arrested by the Police in army camouflage.
