“Despite widespread national calls for his release, Nnamdi Kanu’s decade-long trial adjourned again. How many more MNKs are abandoned in Nigerian prisons?” Princess Olatorera asked. “It is anticipated that he will be granted his freedom before the October 20th date of the traumatic #endsars massacre, a date that historically unites Nigerians against injustice.
A transformative leader and philanthropist, Princess Olatorera emphasized unshakeable, non-partisan, patriotic unity with dignity. “We must reverse the absurdity of jailing visionaries while exalting kleptocrats. It is unacceptable for unqualified public officials with falsified certificates to continue misusing the nation’s wealth and resources meant to transform millions of lives through the power of highest-quality education, infrastructure and innovation.
We must resist the normalization of regressive leadership and inhumane injustice through complacent silence. Let our voices rise with grace. Let our steps be boldly peaceful. And let our rightful demands be honored promptly. Every citizen is entitled to a dignified life, to freedom of speech, of movement, and of association.”“We have been intentionally divided for decades by ethnicity, financial class, religion, education, gender, culture, race, disability and even age. Discrimination sits entrenched in every facet of national life. It is a glaring mandate for our nation to show that compassion, courage, and conscience still live within our governance and our people.” Justice delayed for one is justice denied for all.”
She further stated that the unified quest to #FreeNnamdiKanu represents a moral awakening for Nigeria, a call for leadership grounded in selflessness, merit, fairness, empathy, and the protection of every citizen’s rights. A call to unite for a greater, freer, and more just Nigeria.
“We must look beyond the billboards of incumbents, the convoys, the temporary handouts, and everything money can buy. Our votes, our vision, our yearning for virtuous leadership will no longer be bought. Instead, we must deeply examine, in comparison to global best standards, true readiness, motives, developmental capacity, mental prowess, and the measurable achievements of those who seek to lead. Sixty-five years of independence, yet stable electricity remains unachieved. Poverty engulfs more than 90% of our people, and the naira now trades at roughly ₦1,500 to a dollar. These are not mere statistics, they are living evidences of leadership failure that should no longer be tolerated.”
October 20 remains a generationally significant day for national reflection against extreme hardship and unspeakable oppression, a day to transcend division and reaffirm our shared humanity. Once justice begins to breathe better, Nigeria begins to rise and prosper into a nation where every citizen is protected from arbitrary deprivation of liberty and from toxic limitations of fundamental human needs. The time is now, or the suffering gets deeper.
