How do I tell people that Prince Adeyemi’s case with Gbaja is a tip of the iceberg in our federal budget?
The National commission for the Almajiri and Out of School Children Education situated in Abuja will spend 1,400,000,000 ($1.1m) on “Rehabilitation & Construction of Obasanjo-Itele Road & Idogo Township road” in faraway Ogun state”

Education Crisis: Calls for Fundamental Change, Not Just Policy
The Federal Government has finally admitted to its poor management of the education sector. Recently, the Minister of Education acknowledged that the policy separating junior and senior secondary schools has failed to improve educational outcomes. This is evident in recent examination results. In 2024, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) reported that only 38.32% of candidates passed English and Mathematics in the WASSCE. In 2025, only 32% passed the computer-based WASSCE. This poor performance has been consistent across major examinations over the past two years.
This admission is tragic because education is the most vital contributor to human capital development, which forms the foundation for growth and economic development of any society. We cannot overcome economic stagnation without prioritising education, healthcare, and job creation to lift millions of unemployed youths out of poverty. As successful Asian nations have demonstrated, educational excellence requires sustained investment in curriculum development, motivated teachers, and better learning environments.
Unfortunately, the government continues to neglect the sector. In the 2026 budget, education received only ₦3.52 trillion, just 6.17% of total expenditure, down from 7.87% in 2025, and well below UNESCO’s recommended 15–20%. This low allocation indicates a failure to recognise education as a driver of sustained economic growth.
Education advocate, Mr Alex Onyia @winexviv , recently revealed that Nigeria failed to sponsor students to the International STEM and Mathematics Olympiads due to a lack of funding. It is heartbreaking that the government can sponsor hundreds to irrelevant international conferences yet fail to support its brightest students on the world stage.
The Minister’s admission reflects a broader failure of public leadership. The issue is not the JSS/SSS policy itself, but the lack of commitment to properly fund, manage, and deliver quality education.
In Anambra State, we proved that committed leadership can transform educational outcomes. Through effective funding, oversight, provision of laptops, generators, internet connectivity, and other learning aids, we turned the sector around. For example, our effort in providing computers across all secondary schools (public and private in the state) was recognised by HP Africa Head, who declared that Anambra had procured the largest number of laptops for school children of any subnational government in Africa.
For the future of our society, we must deliberately invest in education, healthcare, and job creation. As I have always said, failing to do the right things is equivalent to abusing society, and the society we abuse today will take its revenge on us and our children tomorrow.

Breaking: Judge Tsamma Abubakar, who declared Tinubu winner in the 2023 presidential election, reportedly goes blind in a London hospital after undergoing eye surgery.
According to reports, the judge was admitted to a specialist hospital in London for what was described as a routine eye procedure.
However, doctors allegedly encountered unexpected complications during the operation, resulting in the complete loss of his eyesight.
The first time I clocked him was when he said he drank tea with God. 😂
I wan crase.
I wanted to make sense of it, e no enter.
Tea, as how? What kind of tea? 😂
Does God like His tea with or without sugar? Is He also a cultist that dips bread in tea?
Daddy G. O, Agba Yahoo.
Walahi, I'm not lying.
I will find the clip.
Adeboye once said he normally grow new breasts from cancerous breast 😭
Or is it when he said, it's because of him naira hasn't hit 10,000 naira yet.
Adebs omo oro, onilamba of the lamba kingdom. 😂
People are not even saying the major thing about this video.
Pastor Adeboye went to the US to convince the US government that Tinubu is doing well and to also show subtle support that there is no Christian Genocide because at least he's a pastor of a very big church.
We are overlooking the purpose of the video.
If Papa Adeboye misses heaven, hold Daddy Tinubu and Iya Alakara responsible.
I grew up knowing this man as the most respected man of God in the world.
