Chai, my people! As wey we dey enter this new year, UN Secretary-General, António Guterres don drop some serious matter wey go make everybody think well. He dey talk say the world don reach critical level wey e no fit take mo wahala again. E don dey vex as military spending don jump reach $2.7 trillion, wey be 10% increase from last year! E no too dey right, abeg!

Make I yarn you true, na more than a quarter of world population dey inside areas wey don suffer from conflict already. Over 200 million people dey beg for humanitarian help, and nearly 120 million don waka come out from their home because of crisis. Wetin we go do for these people? This na serious wahala!

As Guterres dey show us this side of the matter, him dey carry hope come too. E talk say we fit solve this problem if leaders fit change their focus from destruction to peace and development. E just need small shift, make dem redirect the money wey dem dey use for military to more important things like poverty reduction, education, and climate change. Na just 4% of that military moola fit wipe hunger for the world by 2030! Make una carry that one reason!

Guterres dey remind us say military spending dey cost us more than just money; e dey take over our future and planet. E dey call on everybody to play their part, meaning na we all get responsibility to push for better leadership wey go fit lift our people and help our environment. If we no do am together, na wah for all of us o!

So as we dey enter 2026, Guterres don clear say ‘peace must prevail’. E dey challenge all world leaders to choose people and planet over war. Na time to take action! Make we dey shine our eye and demand better from our leaders. E no get better time pass this, my people!

Guterres don put call across wey dey echo loud and clear: ‘Our future depend on our collective courage to act!’. This na wake up call for all of us. Make we go dey align our priorities well; na how we go fit achieve development and sustainable peace for our world. Naijans, make we gree say enough is enough!
