The transition at INEC marks more than a change of leadership; it’s a test of integrity. As Prof. Mahmood Yakubu steps aside and May Agbamuche-Mbu assumes acting chair, Nigerians must remember: elections are only as credible as the institution that manages them. With 2027

INEC is called “independent” for a reason. Yet too often, political influence seeps into appointments and decisions that shape our democracy. This isn’t about party lines — it’s about the people’s right to choose freely. Nigeria’s democracy survives not on ballots alone, but on

Earlier this week, Nigeria First Collective joined hands with the Active Citizens Group in Kubwa Village, Abuja for yet another PVC civic outreach. We have seen death, fear, and division. But history reminds us: nations rise when citizens do. Register. Vote. Speak. Act. Pray — but

Changing the chair of INEC is not reform. Reform means auditing technology failures, securing BVAS systems, and ensuring that no tribunal overturns 88% of results as it did after 2023. As we discuss names, let’s demand systems — transparent, digital, and accountable. The face

When leaders in their seventies plan 2031 bids, we must ask: who prepares the next generation? Leadership renewal is not rebellion — it’s responsibility. Nations thrive when elders MENTOR and youths MOBILIZE. 2027 isn’t far; the baton won’t pass itself. We must build capacity

The debate over forged certificates — from presidents to ministers — isn’t about individuals. It’s about integrity in public office. Every unchecked document erodes national confidence. If accountability starts at the top, then truth must be non-negotiable. Nigerians deserve a

Foreign media now call Nigeria’s violence a “silent genocide.” 150,000 lives lost since 2015 — more than Gaza’s toll this year. Yet our outrage flickers between hashtags. Justice must outlive trends. Accountability must start from within, or history will judge us harsher than our

Nigeria ranks 6TH on the World Watch List for Christian persecution. 82% of global faith-based killings happen here. This is not destiny — it’s dysfunction. The faith that built our communities must now build our conscience. Security begins when empathy becomes policy.

For every citizen murdered, there’s a report of delayed response — “no fuel,” “no vehicle.” Security cannot run on excuses. Nigeria’s police-to-population ratio is 1:1,200 — far below the UN’s 1:450 standard. When protection becomes privilege, the poor become prey.

Youth unemployment sits near 53%. Desperation fuels gangs, militias, and migration. Every idle hand is a weapon waiting for direction. Fighting insecurity means fighting poverty — not just with guns, but with jobs, justice, and education that restores dignity.

Somtochukwu Maduagwu, 29. Deborah Samuel, 22. Father Tobias Okonkwo. Their stories remind us: injustice anywhere threatens peace everywhere. We prayed for safety in bulletins as children; now, those prayers read like prophecy. We cannot let fear replace faith in a just Nigeria.

Even in our darkest days, the flame of change flickers. In youth registering for PVCs, in citizens donating food to displaced families, in communities rebuilding brick by brick — we see the Nigeria that refuses to die. Change will not come from the top; it will rise from the

Good Morning Active Citizens, The New Nigeria is possible through us ✊🏽

As INEC prepares for 2027, Nigerians must remember: democracy is not a gift from the government — it’s a responsibility of the governed. We cannot fold our arms and expect change. Register. Watch. Question. Demand transparency. Because freedom dies where apathy lives.

To every faith leader turning pain into politics — stop. To every community staying silent out of fear — speak. To every Nigerian scrolling past headlines — remember: silence is not neutrality; it’s permission. We are all witnesses to history; the question is what side of

The 2025 Tax Reform Acts were meant to simplify — merging over 20 laws into four new ones — yet public fear calls it “new taxes.” With 139 million Nigerians in poverty and only 6% social-protection coverage, fiscal policy must wear a human face. Numbers don’t eat; people do.

We recently held a PVC outreach in Kubwa Market, Abuja — and the faces we saw told one story: hope still lives here. From traders to students, everyone wanted to believe again. They just needed a reason. NFC is here to remind them — your PVC is that reason.

The government says 13,500 terrorists neutralized, 11,000 weapons seized — but lives keep falling. Security operations mean nothing if they don’t bring safety. Nigeria must invest not just in military might but in human protection systems — intelligence, rehabilitation, and

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz recently called for Nigeria to be redesignated a “Country of Particular Concern” under U.S. law. When the world starts paying attention before our leaders do, something is deeply wrong. Accountability cannot come from abroad — it must start within.
