President Tinubu Says No to Bullying and Promises to Keep Nigerian Children Safe

President Bola Tinubu has spoken out strongly against bullying in Nigerian schools, calling it completely unacceptable. In his message to children on National Children’s Day 2025, themed “Stand Up, Speak Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation,” he emphasized that a child who learns or grows up in fear cannot thrive properly.
He shared worrying statistics, noting that worldwide more than one in three children face bullying regularly, and in Nigeria, as many as 65% of school-age kids have experienced some form of physical, emotional, or social abuse. Addressing the children directly, President Tinubu expressed pride in Nigeria’s young generation, calling them the heart of the nation’s future and its next leaders and innovators.
He mentioned his administration’s commitment to protecting Nigerian children and outlined several important policies aimed at their safety and well-being. Tinubu reiterated the government’s duty to safeguard every child’s rights and dreams. He described this year’s theme as perfectly timed to promote a culture where children feel safe, valued, and heard—both offline and online. The President affirmed that violence, bullying, and neglect have no place in modern Nigeria.
Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, his government is fully focused on child protection, including implementing Nigeria’s National Plan of Action on Ending Violence Against Children (2024–2030). This plan sets out clear steps to prevent abuse, bring perpetrators to justice, and support victims, backed by strong funding and coordination.
The government is also reviewing key laws like the Child Rights Act and the Violence Against Persons Act to strengthen protections, close loopholes, and ensure these laws work everywhere. President Tinubu pointed out that the Cybercrime Act is also being used actively to fight cyberbullying and online exploitation of children.

Chimamanda Adichie Tells Women not to Rush Marriage but Choose Right

Famous Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advised young women to be intentional when choosing who they marry.
Speaking at the Dream Count event, Adichie pointed out how much a life partner can influence a woman’s journey. She urged women not to rush into marriage out of pressure or desperation, adding that choosing the wrong person can affect one’s life for years.
She also encouraged women to find fulfilment in themselves, no matter their passion or path. “It’s really important for a woman to have her own thing, something that brings her fulfilment, no matter what it is,” Adichie said.
She continued, “Be careful who you choose. Sometimes, deep down, you know the person you’re with isn’t good for you, but because you’re eager to settle down, you ignore the signs. Don’t settle. The person you marry plays a huge role in how your life turns out. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it changes everything. There are good men out there.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Amaechi Says It’s Time for a Southern President to Rule Nigeriar

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.
He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”
Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
