Honouring Two Extraordinary Nigerians: Charly Boy and Newton Jibunoh

Yesterday, July 31, I attended the launch of 999: The Memoir of Charly Boy in Lagos.

Charly Boy is one of those people many may easily dismiss because of his appearance or the public persona he projects. But beyond that is Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, a thoughtful intellectual, a compassionate human being, and a patriot deeply committed to building a better society for all.

What particularly inspired me was the work he is doing through his foundation to promote men’s health. Having survived prostate cancer himself, he has chosen to transform his personal experience into a campaign for awareness, early detection, and improved access to treatment. Good health remains one of the most critical foundations of a productive and progressive society, and I am committed to supporting this noble cause.

Today, August 1st, I visited the newly established Newton Jibunoh Centre and Museum in Asaba, the brainchild of Newton Jibunoh. Although I was unable to attend his Mandela Day event, themed “Poverty and Inequality Are in Our Hands,” I considered it important to pay him a visit.

My dear Father, Newton Jibunoh, remains one of Nigeria’s living icons. He is a man whose stories, experiences, and wisdom can keep you listening for hours without fatigue. His remarkable road expeditions across the Sahara Desert to London, beginning in 1967 and repeated in 2000, 2008, and subsequent years, are enduring testimonies to courage, resilience, determination, and an adventurous spirit.

His extraordinary journeys also remind us of a period when travelling across Nigeria and beyond was far safer than it is today. Listening to him always leaves me reflecting on how much we have lost as a nation and how much work still lies ahead if we are to rebuild a secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria.

“When the nation is bleeding, you can’t expect a polite meeting with the Head of State. We need to let him know. And his reply is that the nation is not bleeding. We told him the economy is not helping the poor people. He said economy is doing fine. Practically speaking, he told us quite clearly that he does not agree with us.”

Rehabilitate Existing Infrastructure Before Embarking on New Projects

I have consistently advised governments at all levels to prioritise rehabilitating existing infrastructure before embarking on new projects that may also end up abandoned or left unfinished. For expressing this position, I have often been criticised and called all sorts of names. Yet, it remains the most responsible approach to governance.

It is therefore noteworthy that President Bola Tinubu has now cautioned state governors against committing scarce public resources to constructing unnecessary flyovers in areas with little traffic while neglecting more pressing developmental needs.

The President is, in essence, saying what I have always maintained: government must prioritise projects that directly address the immediate needs of the people. I hope those ministers, officials, and supporters who have consistently attacked this position will now direct the same criticism at him.

However, this admonition must also apply to the Federal Government. There are several unrealistic and white-elephant projects being pursued by the current administration, even as much of our critical infrastructure remains in a state of disrepair. Given our present fiscal realities, priority should be given to rehabilitating and completing existing infrastructure rather than embarking on expensive new projects with limited immediate impact.

Across Nigeria, many of our major highways linking commercial centres and food-producing communities have deteriorated into death traps. Neglecting these critical roads while pursuing prestige projects is neither economically prudent nor people-centred.

This philosophy guided my administration as Governor of Anambra State. I prioritised completing viable projects initiated by my predecessors before embarking on new ones. Government is a continuum, and development should never be measured by who starts a project, but by whether it is completed and serves the people.

Leadership is about making the right choices: fixing what is broken, completing what has already been started, and investing limited public resources where they will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people.

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.

Peter Obi cooked men.

Seun - Is Renewed Hope looking like audio hope?

Peter Obi - It's not even audio hope because the person who promised the hope isn't speaking. He should come out of his bunker and speak to Nigerians.

I'M DEDICATING THIS ONE TO REMI TINUBU & HER OFFICE OF CONFUSION. 🫠

Peter Obi: "What is office of first lady? Did we vote husband and wife?... The person seeking votes today is Peter Obi, not Mr. & Mrs. Obi... My wife will remain my wife, I love her, but not to come and have another seperate office, moving around, and creating confusion..."

Me: Oga, that one na your own o, we will create office for our Mama Margaret. Let her also have her fair share of creating confusion. RAT (BAT's wife) doesn't have the monopoly of creating confusion. 🤗🤗🤗

Our President

[Oluwakemi Oyefeso @i_am_agbeke]

I have come to the conclusion that, as a Peter Obi supporter, I cannot agree with a Tinubu supporter - and they cannot agree with me either. 😏

Our ideologies are fundamentally different. 🫩

I won’t lie to win elections.

I won’t support ballot-box snatching.

I believe in the rule of law.

I believe a leader should be honest, compassionate and empathetic.

I want a leader who invests in healthcare, education and infrastructure, while also recognizing the importance of saving for the future.

I admire a man who, rather than stealing or borrowing recklessly, chose prudence and savings.

I hate godfatherism.

I cannot stand a leader who believes winning justifies every means.

I would never knowingly support a man with serious criminal controversies hanging over his record.

I would not be comfortable supporting a man whose background cannot be transparently verified.

I appreciate a leader who knows he doesn’t know everything and is willing to learn from others.

I love a leader who knows his numbers and bases decisions on facts.

So you see, our ideologies are very different.

We cannot agree.

Ko possible. 🫩

For all the Saints who from their labours rest...

Today, as we mark the 20th anniversary of the tragic loss of Engr. Funso Williams, a great icon, Omo Eko Pataki, Omoluabi Eko, we remember a statesman of rare competence, deep integrity, and unflinching commitment to public service.

Lagos has not forgotten the visionary leader, the meticulous technocrat, and the quintessential gentleman whose life was cut short in the prime of his service to our people. He approached governance not as a platform for self-aggrandizement, but as a sacred duty to build a state driven by structural planning, accountability, and genuine care for the ordinary citizen.

Twenty years later, the values he stood for; peaceful politics, transparency, and true accountability, still inspire everyone fighting for a better Lagos. Your legacy of service to humanity and our beloved Lagos State shines ever brighter, motivating those following in your colossal footsteps.

May the ideals you pursued and for which you paid the ultimate sacrifice be speedily accomplished in Lagos State and Nigeria. Amen.

A life of service, A legacy of integrity - An inspiration forever.

Forever in our hearts,
Rest on, Captain!

— Funso Doherty (FD)

“I want those people that have what Peter Obi has done wrong to bring it out”

“……….Seun you might even have some, bring it out”

How many of your politicians can say these things

[Queen Bee 👑 🐝 @RealQueenBee__]

Seun: Kwankwaso is a big asset to you, and you believe that he can help you win the election.

Peter Obi: Don't say Kwankwaso is an asset to me; he's an asset to Nigeria. He believes in education and in pulling people out of poverty; that's why Nigeria needs both of us.

WISDOM!
