POLICE BRUTALITY: MASSES NOW FEAR POLICE MORE THAN UNKNOWN GUNMEN

Voice of the people -
Image
In a society where peace and order are to be maintained by law enforcement agents, the very institution meant to protect lives and property has become a source of dread. The Nigerian Police Force, once perceived as the first line of defense against crime and lawlessness, has now become a symbol of unchecked brutality, daily harassment, and extortion. Today, many Nigerians, especially in the rural and suburban areas, fear the police more than the so-called unknown gunmen. This reality is tragic, disturbing, and utterly unacceptable in any nation that claims to be governed by the rule of law. A SYSTEM OF FEAR, NOT PROTECTION Countless citizens have harrowing stories of arbitrary arrests, unlawful detention, beatings, and even killings. Medical professionals on emergency duty are stopped and extorted. Youths are profiled based on their hairstyles, phones, or mode of dressing. Riders are forced to produce receipts for their motorcycles or pay outrageous bribes. Traders are harassed, and co...

šŸ”“ BREAKING NEWS YORUBA MAN TO GOV. OKPEBHOLO

Voice of the people -
EDO STATE IS NOT YOUR PRIVATE ESTATE This is The Voice of the People, where truth confronts power. A storm of reactions has followed a viral video showing Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State threatening Mr. Peter Obi not to enter Edo State without his “permission.” At first, Nigerians were skeptical — some believed it was fake, maybe AI-generated or a poorly acted skit. But it didn’t take long to confirm its authenticity. No denial. No press release. No disclaimer from the Governor’s media team. Just silence. And in moments like these, silence speaks volumes. Now, a concerned Yoruba man has publicly condemned the Governor’s outburst, issuing a strong message:  “Edo State is not your personal property. It is not a private estate. It is part of Nigeria and no Governor has the right to stop a citizen from entering.” He described Mr. Peter Obi’s visit as peaceful, purposeful, and generous — marked by a ₦15 million donation to an educational institution in Edo State. He questioned wh...

THE VOICE THEY FEAR: WHY MAZI NNAMUDI KANU’S RELEASE MATTERS NOW

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

NIGERIANS SPEAK LOUDLY: 91% SAY THE GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED

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

THANK YOU ALL – A MESSAGE FROM PETER OBI

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

BUHARI'S DEATH: MNK WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG

Voice of the people -
Image
When Mazi Nnamdi Kanu declared in 2017 that President Muhammadu Buhari had died and would only be officially declared dead two years after leaving office, many thought it was just another conspiracy theory. But today, with Buhari’s death officially announced on July 13, 2025, exactly 2 years and 14 days after he left office, the world is beginning to realize MNK was telling the truth all along. šŸ”„ EXACTLY AS MNK PREDICTED Let’s put this in plain facts: Buhari left office: May 29, 2023 Buhari’s death was officially announced: July 13, 2025 Time difference: 2 years and 14 days šŸ”“ That is almost word-for-word what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu prophesied years ago. > “They will announce Buhari's death two years after he leaves office. Mark it down.” — Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (2018, Radio Biafra) This isn’t a guess. It’s not luck. It’s a fulfilled warning from a man who was silenced for telling the truth. šŸ§  WHY THE GOVERNMENT HID THE TRUTH In 2017, Buhari disappeared for over 100 days in t...

POLITICS OF TODAY AND THAT OF YESTERDAY

Voice of the people -
Image
INTRODUCTION Politics has changed a lot over time. What we see in leadership, elections, and public service today is different from what people experienced many years ago. Let’s look at the differences between the politics of yesterday and today, and what it means for us. 1. LEADERS THEN WERE MORE HONEST Yesterday: Many leaders in the past served with honesty and a clear mission. They were not perfect, but they cared about the people. Names like Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo are remembered for their vision and service. Today: Now, many politicians are only after money and power. They focus more on their pockets than the people. Corruption is more common, and trust is broken. 2. POLITICAL PARTIES HAD MEANING Yesterday: Political parties stood for something. Each one had clear goals and ideas for the country. People followed parties based on what they believed. Today: Parties are now just platforms for personal ambition. Many politicians switch from one party to another without sham...

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF A FRAUDSTER

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

ETTE AND THE OTHER FORGOTTEN COMMUNITIES: THE POLITICS OF ABANDONMENT

Voice of the people -
Image
INTRODUCTION They call it Nigeria. But in truth, there are two Nigerias. One is for the cities — full of lights, cameras, and promises. The other is for the forgotten — where children are born and buried without record, where leaders only visit with campaign songs, and where development is nothing but a rumour. Ette, my hometown, belongs to this second Nigeria. THE REALITY OF ETTE AND PLACES LIKE IT We are not asking for skyscrapers. We are not asking for flyovers. We are asking for the basics of life: Clean water Good roads Primary healthcare Electricity Security Access to education But what do we get? Collapsed roads that cut us off from the world Power poles that haven’t seen light in years Health centers without drugs or doctors Youth with no jobs, no hope, and no help Old people who die in silence, unacknowledged Yet, when elections come, politicians suddenly remember us. They come in convoys, make fake promises, and disappear again — until the next round of lies. WHY ...

šŸ” POWER RECYCLING IN NIGERIA: WHY THE SAME FACES NEVER LEAVE

Voice of the people -
Image
INTRODUCTION  Nigeria is a country with a rich population of energetic, educated youth, yet many leadership positions remain occupied by individuals who have served in government for decades. This persistent trend of power recycling has become a national issue that demands thoughtful attention. šŸ›️ WHEN FAMILIAR NAMES KEEP RETURNING From military eras to democratic elections, many of Nigeria's top political figures have maintained influence across changing governments. While experience is valuable, the absence of new voices in leadership stifles innovation and weakens democracy. Citizens often witness the same leaders returning in various capacities—moving from one role to another—without substantial evidence of progress or accountability. šŸ‘„ AGE IS NOT THE ISSUE—ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY ARE The concern is not about age, but about access. When political opportunities are restricted to a few individuals or families, younger, qualified Nigerians are sidelined. For democracy to thrive, ...

THE BETRAYAL OF THE PEOPLE: WHY MANY POLITICIANS MUST NEVER BE FORGIVEN

Voice of the people -
Image
INTRODUCTION In every election season, they wear the clothes of the poor, kneel beside market women, carry babies, and promise heaven on earth. They say, “This time will be different.” They vow to fix roads, create jobs, pay salaries, and secure lives. The people clap, dance, and vote. But as soon as power is handed over to them, the same people who begged during campaigns become emperors. They close the gate, silence their phones, and forget the very people who suffered under the sun to vote them in. This is betrayal. THE NATURE OF THE BETRAYAL The roads remain broken. Salaries remain unpaid. Hospitals lack basic drugs. Insecurity grows. Students are idle. Pensioners are dying. And what do these politicians do? They fly private jets, send their children abroad, buy houses in Dubai, and keep repeating one thing: “We are working.” But we ask: Working for who? Certainly not the ordinary people. WHY THEY MUST NOT BE FORGIVEN It is not just failure — it is betrayal. When a man is trusted w...

ADC IS WELCOME—ONLY IF PETER OBI LEADS

Voice of the people -
Image
In this defining moment of our political journey, my loyalty remains clear and unwavering, I stand with Peter Obi. He is not just a politician; he is the grand pillar of a new Nigeria. His leadership, vision, and integrity remain unmatched in our contemporary democratic history. The recent disruptions in the Labour Party, orchestrated and sustained by individuals like Julius Abure, have become unbearable. Rather than build, they divide. Rather than unite the Nigerian people around purpose and principle, they fuel personal ambition at the expense of national progress. If these internal forces have chosen to betray the people’s hope, then it is only wise we redirect our energy—not away from the movement, but away from those sabotaging it. This is why the African Democratic Congress (ADC) becomes an option—not because of the name or structure, but only if Peter Obi becomes its presidential candidate. Let me be very clear: I will only support ADC if Peter Obi flies its flag. Without Peter ...

A STRONG WARNING TO NIGERIA’S AUTHORITIES AND INEC: THE PEOPLE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY AND INTEGRITY

Voice of the people -
Image
As the voice of the people, I must issue a powerful and unambiguous warning to the Nigerian authorities and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the deep and troubling issues that have plagued our electoral process. The 2023 presidential election and its aftermath have laid bare serious concerns about the credibility, transparency, and fairness of the system that is supposed to uphold the sacred right of every Nigerian to freely choose their leaders. The Electoral Process Under Siege Elections are the cornerstone of democracy. They are the mechanism through which the people’s will is expressed and respected. However, recent events have shown that our electoral process is under siege by systemic malpractices. Reports of vote rigging, result manipulation, the malfunctioning and suspicious operation of BVAS devices, and the inexplicable shutdowns and discrepancies in the iREV portal have cast a shadow of doubt over the legitimacy of the declared results. The wide...
