Today, I visited Abor village in Enugu State to see the village children learning Maths. I turned into a teacher today as well.
Some of the children don’t have teachers in their schools. Some said their teachers are always in a hurry to cover their syllabuses, while others have very uninteresting teachers.
I personally experienced the joy and eagerness in the children. This gives me so much joy.
The lessons will now be held Monday to Saturday, and we will run 2 batches every day because of the crowd.
We will run an internal assessment every 2 weeks.
This now looks like a model that will eradicate illiteracy in villages and low-income areas.
There Was No Sincere Apology for the Assassination of Aguiyi-Ironsi, and the Family Was Not Compensated - Aguiyi-Ironsi
After he was assassinated, people moved on. The family needs to be compensated, given a sincere apology, and reconciliation.

INEC to Publish Personal Particulars of Presidential and National Assembly Candidates Tomorrow
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will tomorrow make available for public inspection the personal particulars of all 2027 presidential candidates and National Assembly candidates at its offices nationwide.
Since this video went viral, I haven't seen a single negative comment. Even many Obidients who usually criticize Atiku's ideas are saying they're seeing these proposals for the first time.
The interesting part is that these are solutions Waziri Atiku shared over four years ago. Unfortunately, tribal and religious sentiments prevented many people from paying attention back then.
Rufai Oseni on the Morning show today Reminded the NDC of how the Nigerian Police force played a Partisan role for the APC in the 2023 Election.
They even went to TV to defend MC Oluomo when he was supposed to be arrested for the things he said.
“For 50 days the President did not call the Oyo Governor. Me? I will be there in 2 days. Is the bush not in Nigeria? Everybody in that bush will come out. Every-body! And it’s time to start parading the people they arrest, why are they always hiding them?”
— Peter Obi
Speaking fearlessly in this video is Mazi BEN MADUBUGWU, a man of courage. In the annals of freedom-fighting or human rights crusade, there’s a special respect reserved for men like him, who are fighting on the soil, at great risk to their life & liberty. Hear him & respect him.
“I Took a Loan of £75,000 From the UK to Come and Invest in Nigeria Because the Government Said We Should Come Back and Invest. But the Same Government Is Destroying Our Investment. As I’m Talking Right Now, I’m Actually Thinking of Counting My Losses, Packing My Things, Tearing My Nigerian Passport, and Going Back. I Have Friends Who Have Destroyed Their Nigerian Passports Because of Things Like This.” ~ Man Cries Out After His Investment and Business Were Destroyed and Demolished in Abuja Without Any Notice or Warning.💔🤦🏾♂️
On Ibadan declaration we stand. A strategy to consolidate ideas, strategies and people to refresh Nigeria and check the slide down a terrible slope with opposition working together is still key to salvaging our Democracy. Opposition leaders need the Ubuntu spirit.
Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President
I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.
While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.
Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.
The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.
No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.
The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.

China Must Consume More, US Must Save More
China needs to consume more domestically and rely less on export-led growth. Whilst the U.S. has to save more and get its fiscal house in order.
The world economy is marked by some troubling over-dependencies. The weaponisation of some of these over-dependencies is swelling resentment, anxiety and political tension.

More gist - Abacha saw his babe's sister & told her he wanted to 'knack' her too & she agreed to leave her with Abacha to 'taste' her sister too. 🤣😅

Someone sent me this video and told me that a few people (the usual suspects) are very unhappy & distressed with what Prophet Odumeje said here and the hallowed name he mentioned with evident reverence. I then decided to post it here to see how others will feel about it.
How can @realdaveumahi have time to address the concerns raised by Senator @COshiomhole when all he does is spy on supposedly private phone conversations between 26yo girls & their boyfriends; & harbour young nurses in his house?

The concerning building collapses in Anambra and Ogun States.
The collapse of structures housing, among others, some students of Federal Polytechnic, Oko, in Amaokpala, Anambra State, is deeply distressing. I am saddened by the tragic loss of two lives in this unfortunate incident. While I understand that the deceased were not students of the Polytechnic, I extend my heartfelt condolences to their families and loved ones. I also pray for the quick recovery of those who sustained injuries.
Coming barely days after the unfortunate similar incident at Amaokpala, the reported collapse of a building in Ogun State, with the loss of lives, is another painful reminder of the urgent need to prioritise the safety of our people.
I commend the Anambra State Government, the Ogun State Government, the Rector of Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Dr Chioma Irene Awuzie, emergency responders, security agencies, and all involved in the rescue and relief efforts for their swift and coordinated response. Their prompt actions helped prevent what could have been even greater tragedies.
These incidents call for deeper reflection and urgent action. Across our country, we must strengthen the enforcement of building regulations, ensure strict compliance with approved standards, and insist on regular structural integrity assessments to avoid preventable tragedies.
The safety and welfare of our citizens, especially our young people, must remain central to our development efforts. We must continue to invest not only in educational infrastructure but also in ensuring that every environment in which our people live and learn is safe and fit for purpose.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives, those who were injured, the students affected by the Amaokpala incident, and all impacted by these unfortunate events. May God grant eternal rest to the deceased, comfort their loved ones, and grant the injured a swift recovery.
I will continue to cherish and support our students, as they remain central to building the New Nigeria we aspire to. By investing in their education, safety, and well-being, we make that New Nigeria possible. -PO
I find it strange that every few years, some Africans argue about whether their own native language is “useful.”
A language is not valuable because it gets you a job.
A language is valuable because it carries the memory of a people.
English connects you to the world but your mother tongue connects you to your identity, your history, your grandparents, your culture, and a way of thinking that cannot be fully translated.
The future belongs to people who can preserve who they are while engaging the world.
The real advantage is raising a child who can think, dream, and express themselves fluently in their local language, while also communicating confidently in English and other global languages.
