NIGERIA ON MY MIND (Series 1–3)By Moyosoreoluwa Olamilekan Eldreez (MOE)

NIGERIA ON MY MIND: “Criticisms and Commendations are like Twins. For any meaningful progress to be made, both must exist side by side.”

By a Distinguished Fellow Compatriot, Moyosoreoluwa Olamilekan Eldreez

Nigeria’s democratic journey continues to evolve, shaped by diverse voices, competing interests, and the collective aspirations of over two hundred million citizens. In this journey, one truth remains constant: no society advances without the delicate balance of criticism and commendation. These two forces, though often perceived as opposites, are in reality complementary instruments of growth.

Criticism, when constructive and sincere, serves as a mirror. 

It exposes flaws, highlights inefficiencies, and challenges complacency. It demands accountability from leaders and institutions, reminding them that governance is a sacred trust.

 Without criticism, systems become stagnant, leaders grow indifferent, and progress is reduced to mere rhetoric. A nation that silences dissent silences innovation and improvement.

On the other hand, commendation is equally vital. It inspires continuity, strengthens morale, and reinforces good leadership. When policies yield results, when reforms bring relief, and when governance translates into tangible development, acknowledgment fuels momentum. Commendation is not blind loyalty; it is a recognition of effort and impact. It encourages public servants and institutions to sustain excellence and aim higher.

For Nigeria to achieve meaningful and sustainable progress, we must resist the extremes of perpetual condemnation or uncritical praise. A society consumed only by criticism breeds cynicism and division. Conversely, a society addicted to praise risks mediocrity and unaccountable leadership. The strength of our democracy lies in informed citizens who can applaud performance while demanding better outcomes.

As compatriots committed to national advancement, our role is not merely to react, but to engage thoughtfully. Let our criticisms be objective and solution-driven. Let our commendations be honest and well-earned. In this balance lies the pathway to productivity, unity, and ultimately, prosperity.

Nigeria remains a work in progress—but with the right blend of leadership, Trust, accountability and encouragement, her promise will surely be fulfilled..

NIGERIA ON MY MIND PART 2: The Rusting State Of Nigeria Under Tinubu Govt Should Not Be Taken With Levity Hands, But Resilient Action — Moyosoreoluwa Olamilekan Eldreez

A prominent grassroots advocate and public affairs commentator, Moyosoreoluwa Olamilekan Eldreez, widely known as IJOBA AUTHORITY MOE, has shown concern on the current state of Nigeria under the administration of Sen. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has continued to generate deep concerns among citizens who desire progress, stability, and a renewed sense of national purpose. According to Moyosoreoluwa Olamilekan Eldreez, the situation should not be treated with levity but rather with resilient, deliberate, and people-centered action.

He noted that while leadership transitions often come with policy adjustments and economic recalibrations, the hardship currently experienced by millions of Nigerians has reached a critical point that demands urgent and sincere attention. The rising cost of living, economic uncertainties, and growing frustration among the masses are clear indicators that governance must go beyond rhetoric and focus on tangible relief and sustainable reforms.

Moyosoreoluwa emphasized that Nigeria remains a nation with immense potential, blessed with human and natural resources capable of transforming its fortunes. However, he stressed that realizing this potential requires leadership that listens attentively, responds compassionately, and acts decisively in the interest of the people.

He further stated that resilient action does not mean mere endurance by citizens alone, but also courageous decisions by those in authority to review policies that have placed excessive burdens on the populace. According to him, governance must be anchored on empathy, accountability, and measurable impact.

He called on leaders at all levels to remember that the true essence of governance is service, not power. He added that history will always remember those who stood firm in difficult times to defend the welfare of the people.

In his words, Nigeria’s challenges, though significant, are not insurmountable. With sincerity of purpose, strategic leadership, and collective commitment, the country can rise beyond its present difficulties and reclaim its path toward prosperity, stability, and national pride.

NIGERIA ON MY MIND PART 3: PBAT Has Failed Nigerians, Renewing Poverty, Hunger And Insecurity — Return Back To Bourdillon, Says MOE

The growing hardship across Nigeria has once again raised serious concerns about the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose administration many Nigerians believe has deepened rather than solved the nation’s challenges.

A prominent grassroots advocate and public affairs commentator, Comrade Moyosoreoluwa Olamilekan Eldreez, popularly known as IJOBA AUTHORITY MOE, has expressed deep disappointment over what he described as the failure of the current government to provide relief and direction for ordinary citizens. According to him, the promises of renewed hope have instead translated into renewed hardship, as millions battle daily with rising food prices, declining purchasing power, and worsening insecurity.

MOE noted that hunger has become a constant companion in many homes, while insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are collapsing, unemployment is expanding, and the confidence of the people in governance is rapidly eroding.

He stressed that leadership is measured not by rhetoric but by results, and sadly, the present realities reflect pain, frustration, and uncertainty. The masses who believed in positive change now feel abandoned and betrayed.

MOE therefore called on President Tinubu to take responsibility for the current state of the nation and, in his words, “return back to Bourdillon if he cannot provide the competent, compassionate, and effective leadership Nigerians deserve.”

He concluded that Nigeria needs leadership that prioritizes the people’s welfare, restores economic stability, and guarantees security — not one that presides over deepening poverty and despair.

According to him, Nigeria must work again, and the time to correct the course is now.
