Nations Like Nigeria, Know What To Do To Prosper, But Just Can’t Do It. - James A. Robinson, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2024
In July this year, the United Nations issued a frightening warning that 34 million Nigerians are at risk of hunger. This was also published in national dailies on August 1, 2025. This is not just an abstract statistic. It speaks of real people - our parents, children, neighbours, and friends - who are going to bed hungry and waking up without hope of a meal.
So, while the country faces acute hunger — with Nigeria ranked among the hungriest countries in the world and classified under the category of “serious hunger”, the Federal Government of Nigeria announced a ₦712 billion budget for the renovation of an airport on the same August 1, 2025.
It is profoundly troubling that at a time when millions of Nigerians are facing the crushing burden of hunger, the Federal Government has chosen to approve a staggering ₦712.3 billion—not to feed its people, not to lift them out of hardship, and not to invest in their well-being, but to renovate an airport. This raises a fundamental and urgent question: Where are our national priorities?
Let us not forget: in 2013, Nigeria secured a $500 million loan from the China Exim Bank, supplemented by counterpart funding, to upgrade five international airports - Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, and Enugu. If that massive investment was made barely a decade ago, what justifies an even larger sum today for just one airport - especially at a time when Nigerians are starving, internally displaced, and desperate?
As a nation, our primary obligation is to protect and provide for our people, to ensure they are fed, healthy, and secure. While physical infrastructure like airports and roads matter, they cannot prioritise against hunger, health, education and security. Food security itself is a national security and economic strategy.
Development is about choices. It’s about understanding that national progress begins with the basics: human development, not with grandiose infrastructure projects. A government that builds grandiose infrastructure while its people starve is not building a nation - it is betraying one.
The time has come to rethink our priorities and put Nigerians first in every policy, every budget, and every decision.
We must prioritise and concentrate our resources in critical areas of development: security of lives and property, health, education and pulling our people out of poverty.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Why will we buy cPen tokens?
We previously announced that we would regularly purchase cPen tokens. Based on community feedback, we’d like to clarify/correct our strategy:
Liquidity Pools
Purchasing cPen tokens is not intended to boost liquidity pools. As detailed in our Coin Economics, the Treasury pool already holds reserved liquidity tokens, so there’s no need to buy additional cPen tokens from the market for this purpose.
cPen App Project Development
We will acquire cPen tokens to support the development of the cPen app. Although our Coin Economics includes an Ecosystem Pool, its reserves are allocated for the cPen blockchain ecosystem. As mentioned earlier, the cPen blockchain and cPen app will eventually separate, with a dedicated cPen Foundation overseeing the blockchain ecosystem. Therefore, we’ve decided to regularly buy cPen tokens from the market to strengthen the cPen app ecosystem and drive its development.
Important Note
Our decision to buy cPen tokens is solely based on our commitment to advancing the cPen app project. This announcement is intended to provide transparency about our plans and should not be interpreted as advice regarding cPen tokens or any other cryptocurrency. Trading crypto involves risk, and you may lose your entire investment. Always conduct your own research before making any decisions.
Hey #cPenNetwork community,
In just 3 days, cPen mining will switch over to $INK. Please update your app to v1.2.20 or later to avoid interruptions.
Note: When mining transitions from $PEN to $INK, your current streak will reset for $INK mining.
On March 11, KYC and wallet address entries will be paused for balance verification and token distribution.
To qualify for the cPen token distribution, complete your KYC and add your BSC wallet address before March 11—if not, your $PEN tokens will be burned.
Thanks for your continued support!
