COLLEGIATE: What Does This Mean For Nigeria?


The African Democratic Congress (ADC) wants to change how leaders work together in Nigeria. I have broken it down in such a way that primary school pupils can understand. 

Instead of one person winning and controlling everything, ADC wants a team of leaders working together—like classmates doing a group project.

Think of it like this:

Imagine your class is choosing a class captain.

Old way: One child wins and makes all the decisions.

New ADC way: The captain works with other top students as a team so everyone helps lead.

Now, the key ideas explained simply:

1. Shared Leadership (Working Together)

No one person is the “boss of everything.” It’s like having a team of prefects, not just one.

Everyone helps make decisions.

2. No Fighting After Elections

Usually, when people lose, they get angry and leave.

ADC says:

“Even if you don’t win, you’re still part of the team.”

So:

No quarrels

No sabotage

Everyone stays united

3. Strong Rules in the Party

The party wants rules that everyone must follow, including leaders.

Like school rules:

Even the class captain must obey them

Not just the students

4. Focus on Helping People

The main goal is to make life better for Nigerians.

 Like a class leader who:

Helps students learn better

Keeps the class safe

Solves problems

In one simple sentence:

ADC wants leaders to work like a team, not like one boss, so they can stay united and help Nigerians better.



This is a breath of fresh air for Nigerians, at a time Pres. Bola Ahmed Tinubu has transmuted into an emperor, arrogating all powers to himself, breaking laws with impunity and turning Nigeria into his personal criminal empire.

ADC's Collegiate system, is poised to establish collective political leadership that will serve all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, religion and political party affiliations. Join us.

KOLA ALUKO: Secret Documents Expose Nigerian Oil Mogul’s Offshore Hideaways

In September 2015, Beyoncé sat on a yacht drinking sparkling wine with her legs wrapped under a striped, earth-toned blanket as the Faraglioni rocks, near Capri on Italy’s west coast, passed by. The singer and her husband, Jay Z, paid a reported $900,000 that week to sail the Mediterranean Sea on the Galactica Star, a 65-meter private cruiser with a helipad, 10 dining areas, Jacuzzi and sun deck. Unknown to the celebrity couple, the yacht’s owner was soon to be a wanted man. Held through a shell company created by the law firm at the heart of the Panama Papers scandal, Mossack Fonseca, the yacht is now caught up in a massive investigation in Nigeria. The government claims the yacht was bought with profits from crude oil sales that were diverted and never paid to authorities. The Galactica Star’s owner is Kolawole Aluko, a petroleum and aviation mogul who is one of four defendants accused of helping to cheat Nigeria out of nearly $1.8 billion owed to the government o...

NIGERIA AND A PRESIDENT IN BED WITH DISHONESTY - Lauretta Onochie

Illness is not a crime. Every human being, including presidents, can face health challenges. What separates leadership from deception is honesty, transparency, and respect for constitutional order.  Nigeria has a clear precedent. During the early period of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, when health challenges arose, Nigerians were formally informed through the National Assembly. Power was duly transmitted to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, in line with the Constitution. The country was not left guessing. The system, though strained, worked. Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigerians are confronted with something far more troubling than illness: opacity dressed up as governance. President Tinubu appears to suffer recurring health challenges, yet there is no forthright communication with the Nigerian people. Instead of honesty, there is camouflage. Instead of constitutional transparency, there is silence. Each time medical attention is required, it is routinely presente...

BRIEF ON WAI BRIGADE VOLUNTEERS

Background On March 20, 1984, the then Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, Major-General Babatunde Idiagbon launched a campaign on ‘National Consciousness and Enlightenment’  at the National Theatre, Igamu, Lagos which lifted the nation into a sphere of national awareness and prepared ground for the then Head of State, Commander-in-Chief, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari’s clarion call that we are all Nigerians and we must fight indiscipline. This formed the basis for the nationalism and patriotism campaign, the third phase of National Consciousness and Enlightenment – the WAI crusade which was launched in Jos, Plateau State, on Monday, August 27, 1984 with emphasis on the National Symbols – the Flag, the National Anthem, the Pledge and the Coat-of-Arms. The War Against Indiscipline (WAI) Brigade was formed therefore to give practical effect to the campaign against indiscipline. It is a uniformed voluntary association of able-bodied young men and women trained an...
