The issues facing France are way more complex than the far right exploitation of « immigrants are bad, Islam is destroying the West ». This narrative is peddled here with so much hysteria because it serves the agenda of the owner of this medium. These are falsehoods.

The honorable vocal voices are silenced, threatened, and some have been witch-hunted.
Criminals, drug dealers, Agberos are now the most powerful and elevated in every position.
Look at the crop of people coming to defend Tinubu, bottom barrel degenerates. Lowest feeders of humans that should be locked up in jails.
Every society has these set of people, but having them elevated in your society is a dangerous precedent Tinubu has commissioned and instituted.
Good luck to all of you!

A Tinubu re-election in 2027 could trigger another wave of capital flight, similar to what we witnessed in 2023.
The concern is not simply the election result itself. It is how investors and households interpret the prospect of another four years of the current administration's economic policies, particularly against the backdrop of inflation and declining purchasing power.
We could see more Nigerians attempt to protect their wealth by converting naira-denominated savings and investments into US dollars or other foreign-currency assets.
For investors, this is a portfolio-protection decision.
For the economy, however, widespread conversion of naira assets into foreign currency could intensify demand for dollars, put further pressure on the exchange rate and weaken confidence in naira-denominated financial assets.
The critical question is whether a 2027 re-election would reinforce confidence that the current so called reforms will deliver sustainable growth, or deepen concerns about their economic and social costs.
The risk is not merely who wins the election; it is what that outcome signals about the direction of economic policy and the protection of investors' purchasing power.
Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele says investors expect Tinubu’s re-election and warns reversing economic reforms could trigger capital flight and naira depreciation.

Celebrating the Clarissan Missionary Sisters: A Legacy of Faith and Service
Heartiest congratulations to the Clarissan Missionary Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament on the momentous celebration of your jubilees, which commenced with Holy Mass today at the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, Onitsha.
I rejoice with you on this special occasion as you celebrate decades of faith, dedication, and selfless service to humanity.
Reflecting on our shared commitment to uplifting society through education and human development, I fondly recall my support for your school, Maria Inés College, Obosi, through the provision of buses and computers to enhance mobility and facilitate learning among your students.
As you continue your apostolate of forming minds, nurturing character, and empowering young people, I encourage you to remain steadfast in your mission. I firmly believe that education is one of the most powerful instruments for building a just, prosperous, and inclusive society. By investing in our people, especially the younger generation, we are laying the foundation for a Nigeria where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Together, through faith, service, and a shared commitment to human development, we can build the new Nigeria of our dreams. A new Nigeria that is POssible and OK. -PO

This is what good nutrition does when average inflation is single digit over 3 decades.
Hopefully Nigerians learn that good governance and good economics = taller, bigger, and healthier young people.

My cousin's that died in September in active service at bornu state, what compensation did army provide for the families, y'all are stupid in that organization. Not even a visit to the sick and heartbroken mum. Igbo youths will rather serve and become nwa- boi than to join u.
💔😭 This is painful.
🇳🇬🪖 Abia produced only 100 recruits? That is a red flag. And if this continues, the region will pay for it in the nearest future.
Military slots are not reserved forever. If you refuse to join, other candidates from other regions will take those slots. And when they do, the balance shifts. Then nobody should cry witch-hunting or marginalization.
The Army belongs to all of us. Join. Serve. Be part of the table. Not joining has consequences.
🥱🥱Wake up, South East.

A TRUE-LIFE STORY.
My sister’s husband was shot in the chest while serving on a peacekeeping mission. He was initially taken to a naval hospital before being transferred to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH).
Despite being a serving soldier injured in the line of duty, the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) required him to pay 30% of the cost of his surgery, medication, and medical equipment used during his treatment.
Beyond the surgery, he had to pay out of pocket for drugs and medical equipment costing more than ₦1,000–₦2,000.
For two weeks, he received an injection that cost ₦14,500 daily.
Throughout this ordeal, his commander, whom he served as an orderly, never visited him in the hospital. The situation was so troubling that hospital staff repeatedly asked whether he had been involved in an illegal military operation, given how completely the Army appeared to have abandoned him.
The most heartbreaking part? A day after his surgery, his commander called to ask when he would resume duty.
At the time, my sister was still in university. She had to abandon her final-year examinations to stay by her husband's side and ensure he survived.
His ordeal did not end there. He was discharged and subsequently readmitted twice: once for another surgery that never took place, and again after his wound became infected, due to the use of inadequately sterilised surgical and dressing equipment.
But something he told me has stayed with me.
He said the people who suffer the most are the wives of soldiers who are killed in action (KIA). According to him, these women go through hell trying to access their husbands' death gratuities.
I'm glad my very own elder brother did not get into the army 🪖

We were sitting on the ground at the Sokoto Air Force Base when senior government officials walked into the camp.
They asked the indigenes of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara to come up to the office. One after the other, they entered the Chief Warrant Officer's office and came out a few minutes later. It happened three times.
I had spent two weeks there, in a small apartment I rented for the training period. The tests were simple. I am a mathematician, and it was simple maths, so I passed.
A few weeks later, back in Delta, the names were published in the national dailies. Everyone who was taken to that office was enrolled. We were not.
That was the 2014 short service, and it was when I learnt that it is who you know that matters in this country. The Air Force had been my dream since I was in school, and some of my colleagues are now captains in the military.
Did anything like this happen to you in a recruitment?
The Nigeria military is once again calling on south eastern youths to pick up the form to join their military.
2010 I bought the NDA form, wrote the exams, and I wrote very well, but one thing struck me.
Before I went into the exam hall, I and my mum went into a senior officer’s office and he asked this question
“Who recommended you” when my mum answered no one, his face changed, he became weak, he wished he could help, but he couldn’t.
After writing the exams, the names came out, I wasn’t surprised that my name wasn’t there.
2010 when the military was interesting to join, you guys used tribalism and godfatherism to recruit.
Now that there’s nothing left in there, you guys are pleading for youths to pick up the forms.
What’s the salary structure of the military again?

There were Yahoo boys in Obj, Yar Adua's, and GEJ's regimes but foreign companies were setting up base here and boys were getting hired like water in global firms.
"Yahooze" by Olu Maintain, was released in 2007. It was a song that went viral celebrating fraud, but we were relatively better off as a country.
I know we are all prone to blaming someone or something but please there'll always be those crop of people in EVERY society. Onus lies on your government to execute favourable policies for the common man.

🇳🇪Niger's Petroleum is putting it foot down when Chinesecompanies are not acting appropriately:
Niger slams the table and gives China 45 days to repatriate 3,000 billion CFA
The Nigerien government is toughening its tone towards its Chinese oil partners. Meeting in a negotiation committee chaired by the MAEC Bakary Yaou Sangaré, the Niamey authorities have set a 45-day ultimatum to the leaders of CNPCNP (China National Petroleum Corporation), WAPCO and SORAZ to regularize the situation of their financial flows.
At the heart of this ultimatum, is the mandatory repatriation of foreign exchange from the export of Nigerien crude oil since the beginning of 2024.
According to official statements from the negotiation committee, the volume of export revenues not repatriated by Chinese partners amounts to about 3,000 billion CFA francs. This retention of foreign exchange outside the national financial circuit has critical consequences for the country. The Nigerien public treasury is recording an immediate loss estimated at nearly 17 billion CFA francs. The absence of these financial flows deprives local banks of essential liquidity.
This is the entire Nigerien economy that is suffering the backlash of this non-compliance with commitments

CIC Alumni: A Worthy Example of Giving Back
Education remains the most important investment we can make in the future. Yesterday, Friday, 16 October, I visited the College of Immaculate Conception (CIC), Enugu to honour the invitation of College Alumni Association President Dr Valentine Ozoigbo and inspect the remarkable work being done by the college’s alumni.
This is what I have continued to preach: we must give back to society. Those of us who passed through primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions have a responsibility to invest in them and remember the schools that helped shape our lives.
I was immensely impressed by the alumni’s efforts under Dr Ozoigbo’s leadership. I saw impressive projects, including a multipurpose hall, a dormitory complex, a sports complex, and an ongoing five-storey staff quarters building. They are already planning their next project. This is a worthy example of what collective commitment and generosity can achieve. I pledge to be part of their STEM project.
I encourage alumni of other institutions across Nigeria to emulate this example. We do not have to be immensely wealthy to make a difference. Through collective effort and regular contributions, we can improve our former schools, provide better facilities, and create opportunities for future generations. If alumni embrace this responsibility, our schools would be better equipped, and the burden on the government would be reduced.
I encouraged the students to take their studies seriously, remain disciplined, and work hard. I reminded them that, with commitment and determination, they too can become successful in life. I also urged them to respect their teachers, maintain good relationships with them, and appreciate their guidance, even after graduation.
I thanked the teachers for their dedication, particularly their efforts in maintaining the cleanliness of the school and the evident discipline among the students.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The most consequential skill an African writer can pick up in the 21st century is nonfiction-writing, specifically essays on ideas.
Fiction and poetry remain as essential as ever, but when you grasp the definitive power of nonfiction, you will wake up and start learning.
