Trump’s Genders, Agendas, Fada Oluoma Evoke Introspection.
Trump, genders and agendas, Fada Oluoma write out of conviction to evoke introspection. Says
I chaired a meeting. After the minutes was read, corrected and adopted, we moved to matters arising. After we exhausted the first issue, I said: “our next agenda in the meeting is finance”.
While the knowledgeable people at the meeting grimaced, the ignorant ones noticed nothing while I continued with my “executive blooper”. After announcing the fourth agenda in same meeting, one of the knowledgeable guys who couldn’t bear it anymore raised his hand in exasperation and said “Mr chairman, there’s only one agenda in a meeting, the rest are items on the agenda”. I got the gist, and hopefully the rest of the guys in my ignorance league did.
Donald Trump is the POTUS. He said America will officially operate two genders; male and female, going forward. This is soothing for many of us who have always wondered at the multiple genders espoused by some persons in America and other European countries. It got to the point that some persons were teaching children to choose what they want to be rather than what nature has biologically assigned to them through genitalia.
It went to the crazy level of some identifying as anything that fascinates them. You see a full grown adult male and he tells you he is to be identified as woman or cat or even car. We watched as the obvious madness kept expanding. A woman with all the biological organs of a woman tells everyone that she identifies as a man or ‘them’ or something totally ridiculous. Some people cheered this weirdness, others stood aloft, while a few cried out against it.
You just couldn’t but wonder what agenda these new genders and their promoters were introducing for humanity. The bible said God made them male and female, and there upon set up an agenda for the human race. Nature and biology concurred. Each gender was to take up items from the agenda and execute for the good of all.
For all of the recorded and conceivable history of humanity, the divine and natural agenda for humanity through the two gendas trudged on until recently, certain people woke up to hijack the meeting and instead of following the time tested items on the agenda, were surreptitiously introducing strange agendas and many ignorantly thought they were just following the items on the agenda.
If the champions of the new genders had made their business private and never resorted to using subtle political and media tactics to force everyone to accept their agenda, even using schools and public services to recruit people into their cycle, many of us wouldn’t have bothered.
Trump and Elon Musk understood the danger of people who were saying “next agenda” instead of reading out the next item on the agenda. Elon Musk is a victim of what Trump is fighting against. You can find details of this in Charles Awuzie’s page.
Fada Oluoma
While I heartily and happily welcome Trump’s reintroduction of the item on the agenda for humanity through the two gendas, i am not too excited about his presidency, just as I wasn’t about Biden’s. Barrack Obama taught me this hard lesson. Sometimes we get too excited over issues we should somberly reflect on. Beyond this gender item, Trump’s agenda as a president has been set by the American Constitution, and it will be for Americans.
If any of the items he chooses to implement as the one chairing the American meeting favors Nigeria or any other country, it will be a mere crumb falling from the table of America’s diet. In fact, majority of his policies might even have adverse effect on us.
On this, we can’t begrudge him, he was elected for America by Americans, why should we expect him to make Nigeria or any other country his priority? This is why we must pay attention more to forming a good agenda for our own country, an agenda whose items any president must stick to for the good of Nigerians.
I dare say that Nigeria doesn’t have a well thought out agenda yet. Every administration seem to come with new agendas, often throwing the country into a strangulating cycle of new beginnings. Until we have a country with a robust constitutionally set agenda, we wouldn’t know when a president is using us to pursue his own agenda. We wouldn’t even know the difference between the agenda of a meeting and items on the agenda.
My name is Fada Oluoma, and like Charles Awuzie, I write out of conviction to evoke introspection.
Peter Obi: Nigeria Collapsing, Divided Under Tinubu, May Drift into Anarchy If Re-Elected
Former presidential candidate Peter Obi says Nigeria is collapsing and divided under President Bola Tinubu, warning the country may drift into a more devastating situation if he is reelected in 2027.
“The country is collapsing, and if you allow it to go further, it would be worse,” Mr Obi said during the African Democratic Congress convention in Abuja on Tuesday. “We need to work as a united Nigeria for the sake of Nigeria. The country is so divided, so we need unity. The present government has ensured that we remain more divided. Our unity is important.”
Mr Obi, who decried the high poverty rate under Mr Tinubu, further accused the All Progressives Congress-led government of excessive borrowing.
He added, “If you check your indices, when the present government came into being, our poverty rate was 41.6% and 8 million people. Today, we are 63% and 140 million people. So they have almost doubled that.
“When this government came into being, we removed the petroleum subsidy to stop borrowing for services and use the money to develop the country. Today, we are about 200 trillion in debt. Worse still, this government owes contractors; no projects of 2025 have been funded. We have a huge debt and have borrowed more.”
The former Anambra government said the country may descend into disaster, stressing the need for sacrifices among Nigerians.
“We are heading to disaster. I used these figures to show you we are drifting. We all have to work hard because anarchy consumes everybody. We must now sacrifice for the sake of our children. If we don’t do anything, what is happening will take revenge on our children and us,” Mr Obi stated.

The presidency could not be reached for comment on Mr Obi’s latest allegations.
About 141 million Nigerians were projected to fall into abject poverty in 2026, as Nigeria’s poverty rate was projected to rise exponentially to 62 per cent this year, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Nigeria Economic Outlook published in January.
The report revealed that the poverty rate, which stood at 59% in 2024, rose to 61% (139 million people) in 2025 and is expected to climb to 62% (141 million) in 2026.
Peter Obi Vows To Declare War On Terrorists If Elected President
Peter Obi vows to declare war on terrorists. Former Governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has said he would declare war on terrorists and reject negotiation as a response to insecurity if elected president.
Drawing on his record as Anambra State governor, he argued that decisive action can restore safety across Nigeria.
Obi made the comments in an interview with Arise TV on Monday, during a discussion focused on the country’s worsening security situation, including the recent killing of Brigadier-General Oseni Braimah and several soldiers in a Boko Haram/ISWAP attack in Benisheikh, Borno State.
“No nation will lose about 10 of its senior officers without a response. I will declare war on the terrorists. There is nothing like negotiation,” he said.
Obi said the approach that worked in Anambra during his tenure as governor remained the template he would apply nationally.
He recalled going directly to former President Olusegun Obasanjo to seek authority to act.
“I had to come here and tell President Obasanjo, this is what I want to do and you must allow me to do it,” he said, adding that the results were verifiable.
He named former army commander, Jarrell Enenche, and the late security officials John Haruna and Commissioner Bello as witnesses to the outcomes.
He cited a former Inspector-General of Police as confirmation that the strategy worked.
Obi argued, however, that military force alone was insufficient and that the roots of today’s insecurity lay in decades of policy failure.
“What you are seeing today is the cumulative effect of leadership failure over the years, erosion of governance, erosion of values, abandoning the youth, education, social trust, everything,” he said.
He outlined a two-track response: immediate decisive force combined with long-term institutional rebuilding.
“You start building while you are pushing. You bring governance, justice, people are punished if they do the wrong thing,” he said.
Peter Obi
When the interviewer noted that he would need to become president to execute such plans, Obi did not dispute the point, pressing instead on the allies he would need and his commitment to front-line leadership.
He named northern political figures, including former Kaduna governor Nasir el-Rufai and former Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, among those he would work with, saying he intended to “be in the north.”
He ended with a direct pledge on leadership style. “I am not going to lead from the back. People will see, they will feel it.”
