  Reno Omokri  Social media influencer This article responds to Reno Omokris comments on Omoyele Sowore and President Bola Tinubu while addressing political misinformation and the continued attacks on Peter Obi within Nigerian politics and democratic discourse. No, Mr Reno! On the accusations you made against the President of Nigeria; It is awkward to say, it is not valid in court or even among the secular population. You're not the type of man to speak publicly without putting your facts together. In your tirade on Mr Peter Obi , you have asked your subscribers to " fact-check " your claims. A trademark you have aggressively adopted. You even told President Tinubu to sue you to court if you defamed him by calling him a drug lord. Such audacity, cannot be summoned under assumptions. I know you think all Nigerians are plain stupid. I mean, what can they do? they'd only join their favourite influencers on social media to drag, that's all. The influencer makes...

WHAT EVERYONE WHO KNOWS NIGERIA KNOWS ABOUT NIGERIA 🇳🇬 —  A Message of Truth, Unity, Strength and Hope A panoramic view of Obudu Hills, showcasing the untouched beauty and rich biodiversity of Nigeria’s landscape . Hello everyone across the world. I deeply appreciate readers from over 19 countries — including the United States , Nigeria , Russia , Germany , United Kingdom , France , Singapore , Canada , Sweden , Netherlands , Kenya , Türkiye , Ireland , UAE , Ukraine , India , Austria , Vietnam , Switzerland , and many others. For 13 years, you have stood by us. Thank you. GLOBAL TENSIONS & WHY NIGERIA MATTERS NOW Today, many nations where my readers live are facing serious tensions: The Russia–Ukraine war began February 24, 2022 , causing thousands of civilian deaths and large-scale military losses. India and its neighbour continue to experience border tensions that threaten escalation. The Middle East — Israel , Hamas , Hezbollah , Iran , Houthis — remains on edge. US–Ve...

Nigeria has suffered the loss of countless precious lives and properties since 2009. That was the year an ugly stranger emerged — Boko Haram , a violent terrorist sect that has plagued our nation ever since. Before Boko Haram ’s rise, Nigeria was already struggling with tribal skirmishes and intermittent religious clashes that often took the lives of innocent Christians. Over the years, cruel public killings have occurred —among the most shocking being the mob killing of Deborah Samuel Yakubu in Sokoto State , murdered by her fellow students who accused her of blasphemy. Tragically, no one was brought to trial for her death. Most of these killings have been carried out by Islamic extremists who claim their actions are in defense of their faith. Many of them publicly support such atrocities if they believe an action “defies the teachings of the Qur’an.” Some even hold the deadly conviction that it is their religious duty to forcefully convert Christians to Islam — or to eliminate t...

18 May 2012 , thirteen years ago, I wrote my first post. “The Joy of Success.” Then came “Ideas Are All You Need,” followed by “You Can Make the Right Kind of History,”  and then, “What Is in a Woman.” After that, I wrote “A Good and True Friend,” in honour of my American friend, Ebony. Then, “Procrastination Is Certainly Why You Are Down There.” All were hits. With “My Voice for 2015: Nigeria 🇳🇬, Lets Make This Our Voice,” my August 9, 2013 blog post attracted the attention of prominent Nigerians on the former Twitter — now Elon Musk’s X . Since then, I have gone on to publish over 70 posts. But all these were born from a desire to make a contribution to Nigeria 🇳🇬 through her youths. It was to create a voice that many only wish they had — a global voice that speaks to truth, peace, and unity. I dabbled into writing because I believed words could move mountains — and indeed, they can. Because of our choice of topics, the Google AdSense program coul...

🇳🇬 Nigerian National Flag — Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons Nigeria is home to the largest number of Black people in the world. It sits beautifully in one of nature’s most curated environments. Beneath this land lie huge deposits of mineral wealth; above, live the most talented, energetic, innovative, creative and intelligent humans on earth. We are a people capable of the impossible. Our capabilities as a people are largely untapped, revealing a huge deposit of unexplored potentials. Blessedly diverse, we are naturally hospitable and accommodating — living together in faith of the reality of a great future we all see in our minds — children inclusive.  Clearly, the future is ours. But more sacrifices, dedication, commitment, trust, hope, faith and patriotism must eternally go in. There is no argument that currently we fall below our true glory, but there is also no way we will remain this way forever. Change is the only constant. As such...

Published: September 21, 2025 Last Updated: September 21, 2025 AI generated peaceful demonstrators Nigeria feels tense. Armed violence, gender battles, tribal tension, religious divides—conflict is everywhere. But let’s be real: politicians created these wars. They profit from division. While we quarrel, they consolidate power. While we fight each other, they escape scrutiny. What Nigerians Truly Want We don’t ask for much: Safety Opportunity A nation that works Yet leaders drag their feet while lives are lost. Compare this to the swift response of U.S. law enforcement to assassination attempts . Why can’t Nigeria act fast to protect its citizens? A Global Village Technology collapses borders. A farmer in Borno can watch U.S. elections live . A student in Lagos can take online classes from London . A trader in Kaduna can sell products to New York . So Nigerians from any corner sees what is obtainable elsewhere and desire working systems in thos...
