We kicked off LearnBox back in 2023 because education across Africa, from kids in classrooms to adults chasing new skills, felt trapped in outdated ways. Too many folks were tuning out, feeling frustrated, and walking away without the tools to thrive in the real world
Peller’s Wedding Guests: Foreign Espionage And African Entertainment
When influencers and "foreign guests" collide, as is the case here, we are not watching a wedding but a social engineering operation
It is very clear here that the rise of our internet sensations is often engineered. When foreign money starts flowing into our digital spaces, it is time to start asking who is really behind the screen and what they’re buying with those "gifts." It’s time for Africans to stop being spectators to our own subversion.
Building a New Nigeria Through Education, Healthcare, and Responsible Citizenship
Yesterday, I visited Faith Foundation College of Nursing Sciences, Nsukka, where I was delighted to witness the remarkable progress of the projects currently under construction.
The proprietor shared something deeply encouraging. He revealed that it was my initial support to the institution, particularly my earlier donations, that gave them the confidence to commence many of the projects now taking shape.
In continuation of my commitment to improving healthcare and supporting the training of quality health professionals, I presented the institution with an additional cheque of ₦10 million to support the ongoing projects and assured them of my continued support until the vision is fully realised.
Thereafter, I joined the participants at the 68th Annual Conference of Anglican Youths at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, Nsukka, where I encouraged the young people to embrace their responsibility in building a new Nigeria.
I reminded them that the Nigeria we desire cannot become a reality unless they actively participate in shaping its future. I urged them to reject politics based on tribe, religion, or language and instead insist on electing leaders of proven character, competence, capacity, integrity, and ethical values.
Our future depends not only on the leaders we produce but also on the standards we demand. Together, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
Nigerians Can Make It Difficult To Rig If They Come Out And Vote Massively Because If Their Votes Don't Matter, Politicians Won't Want To Buy It — Atedo Peterside https://t.co/ZKJjKuWvxd
Femi Falana stated that Ali Modu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno State, founded Boko Haram. He was arrested in Cameroon over his links to the group, but the Nigerian government stepped in and negotiated his release. Falana challenged Sheriff to sue him if the claims are untrue.
This is Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad from kano publicly alleged that Ali Modu Sheriff was involved in the creation of Boko Haram. Whether people agree with her or not, those statements are on record.
His Excellency Peter Obi was the only governor who criminalized terrorism irrespective of religion or ethnicity.
Regarding the claim that Peter Obi chased Northerners out of Anambra, His Excellency Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has publicly stated that the allegation is false and should not be attributed to H E Peter Obi.
Public discussions should be based on verified facts rather than repeating allegations that have been disputed or are unsupported by credible evidence.
A New Nigeria is POssible and OK
The Dangers Of A Western-Led AI Revolution For Africa
The so-called 'AI Revolution' being marketed by western tech interests is not an inevitable, neutral or benevolent phenomenon but a deliberate power grab that seeks to cement the world's less powerful populations into a new form of economic dependency.
US president Donald Trump's recent decision to halt advanced features of a new Anthropic AI model outside the US illustrates the inherent danger of surrendering technological sovereignty and becoming dependent on technology that comes inbuilt with a US government kill switch.
