I'm not asking the world to believe in me right now. I'm just asking it to stay close enough to watch. It's not a prediction, it's a spoiler.

Six years later, not much has changed. Same government, same playbook of fear and intimidation.
Today, right here at the Lekki Toll Gate, citizens gathered peacefully to honor the lives lost six years ago during EndSARS. And how did the authorities respond? By firing tear gas at us.
Let that sink in.
Six years after a generation cried out for basic dignity, safety, and accountability in policing, a peaceful memorial is still met with an unprovoked tear gas attack?
The message is loud and clear, they are still terrified of remembrance, they are still terrified of accountability, and they are still terrified of YOU speaking up.
Expressing grief and sympathy is not a crime. Peaceful assembly and solemn reflection should not be met with state brutality and repression.
Effective governance is not about silencing the streets. It is about building a system that listens, that protects, that includes and that provides for everyone.
To every young person and resident carrying the vision of a better Lagos, never forget that your voice is powerful, that your vote carries your voice and that the ballot is the vehicle through which you can speak loudest and change the story.
We remember, We rise.

The coalition we formed with Peter Obi has helped foster peace and political understanding between the North and the South. When was the last time you saw Northerners and Southerners constantly attacking each other over politics the way they used to? Our decision to work together has shown that national unity is possible when we put Nigeria first.

I really can't get enough of how this website turned out. 🥹
Here's the mobile view, fully responsive, and as warm as the community itself.
Now imagine what I could do with your idea.
If you're a founder looking for a designer to bring your vision to life, my DMs are open 🤍

Mediabunny v1.62.0 (🚀) ships with an insane amount of fixes and improvements aimed at making Mediabunny extremely robust against adversarial and malicious inputs (files that exhaust memory or clog the CPU).
In some cases, malicious files could balloon memory usage to gigabytes and now use less than a megabyte when being processed.
My goal is that you can use Mediabunny confidently (in your web app or on your server) and know that a bad file won't freeze or crash your program. Bad inputs will simply throw early now.

ENDSARS LEKKI TOLL GATE: NEVER FORGET OCTOBER 20, 2020
Today, October 20, 2026, marks the sixth anniversary of the Lekki Toll Gate shootings, a painful reminder of the price Nigerian youths paid in their demand for a better country.
On that fateful night, peaceful #EndSARS protesters were met with gunfire. Lives were lost, many were injured, and the nation was left with questions about justice, accountability, and the sanctity of human life.
We must never forget. We must never normalise injustice.
As we remember the victims, I reaffirm my belief that a New Nigeria is possible—a country where citizens are protected, not brutalised; where young people are heard, not silenced; and where government power is exercised with responsibility and respect for human rights.
Nigeria must become a nation where no citizen is punished for demanding good governance and a better future.
May the souls of the departed continue to rest in peace. May their sacrifice strengthen our resolve to build a Nigeria where this tragedy will never be repeated.
A New Nigeria is POssible. A Nigeria where every life matters. -PO

What I did in 2023 was child's play.
If it takes 5 days to count the results, I'll be outside for 5 days.
Wherever my result goes, I go‼️
This is probably the last chance we have to save this country,
So I'm putting EVERYTHING on the table⚠️

We won't rig. We can't rig. What we'll do is overwhelm them with our numbers.
And for those planning violence or to rig, they'll be met with a force so strong that they'll curse the day they were born.

If you're a Nigerian developer, whether you're just starting out or you've been building for years, there's so much you can build and learn with homegrown technologies 🇳🇬❤️
We have:
🇳🇬 @Dbrij_hq & @pxxl_space instead of Vercel for hosting.
🇳🇬 @StackshiftCloud for VPS hosting and management, as an alternative to providers like Hostinger and tools like Coolify.
🇳🇬 @Dbrij_hq & @sendly_ai_ instead of Resend for business and transactional emails.
🇳🇬 @cencori instead of OpenRouter and Cloudflare AI Gateway for AI model access and management.
🇳🇬 Sabilytics.com instead of Google Analytics and DataFast for website analytics.
🇳🇬 @OutRayTunnel for tunnelling local services, as an alternative to tools like ngrok and Cloudflare Tunnel.
🇳🇬 @Bachs_hq for international payments, as an alternative to Stripe.
And these are just the ones I can remember right now!
I'm not saying you must stop using international tools.
I'm saying we have people right here building alternatives worth trying, supporting, and contributing to. With better local pricing that fits us.
I know I'm missing so many other products.
What other Nigerian-built products and their global alternatives should be on this list?
Drop them in the replies! 👇

NIGERIANS MAKE ONA NO SLEEP O
@inecnigeria has refused to publish the voters register ONLINE.
Even offline sef, as per @ARISEtv report, it wasn’t published in some polling units in Lagos and people have to personally request for it. No be so o!
The danger of waiting till day of election is that if your name is missing from your polling units, you will be disenfranchised and won’t vote o!
Why are opposition sleeping?

INEC is already flaunting the electoral laws.
Am I overthinking this? Because I am genuinely struggling to understand what is happening in Nigeria.
@inecnigeria has disregarded the Electoral Act by failing to publish the voters’ register online for public scrutiny, even after the statutory 90-day deadline has passed.
Even under Mahmood Yakubu, the register was published online, with a mechanism for complaints and objections.
Today, NOTHING!
And somehow, the country has moved on like nothing happened.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
Apart from @ARISEtv and @fijnigeria, where is the Nigerian media?
Where are @YIAGA, @EUinNigeria @EU_SDGN , @NDI and the other civil society organisations?
@NigeriaNDCHQ .@ADCNig ARE YOU PEOPLE SLEEPING? Are you actually preparing for this election?
This is the voters’ register we are talking about. THE VERY FOUNDATION OF AN ELECTION!
INEC has effectively said, “To hell with public scrutiny. Do your worst.”
And our collective response is SILENCE.
I am genuinely pained.
We complain about electoral malpractice and compromised institutions, yet when it is time to demand accountability BEFORE an election, everybody suddenly goes quiet.
Must we wait until votes are cast and results are disputed before we start shouting?
Seriously, am I the only one who finds this silence deeply disturbing?
