On the 22nd of August, we will lay my beloved father to rest.
It is difficult to put into words how broken I have been. I am grateful for the life you lived, the memories we shared,and the love you left behind. The mornings we woke up and went straight to my parent’s room and yelled good morning, while receiving hugs and blowing up his tummy, even as an adult.
I remember asking for a camera as a birthday gift, before I even knew I’d be a photographer and without hesitation, you granted my wish.
You loved us too much and gave everything to us. Asides the material things, you gave us God, good education and left us a good name.
As we prepare to say our final goodbye, I ask for your prayers for my family, for strength, comfort, and the grace to carry this loss.
Rest peacefully, Eti-boy. You will forever be a part of me. 🕊️
We have now institutionalized ISEE, and it is now a formally registered non-governmental organization.
ISEE was rejected several times by the Corporate Affairs Commission until we amended the name to INITIATIVE FOR SCHOOL EXCELLENCE AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
Our chairman is Prof. Bath Nnaji, and I will continue to lead the vision.
Our members are Nathan Nwachuku, Eke Urum, and Tony Udeani.
The goal is for the vision to outlive our generation and lead us to civilization.
This is the beginning of greatness for Africa.
Yesterday, I continued my trip to Kogi State. I travelled to Onugba Ukoh in Olomaboro Local Government Area. There, I visited Mater Spei Model Nursery and Primary School, a facility made possible by the generous support of international donors.
It was a privilege to lay the foundation stone for the planned Mater Spei Secondary, Technical, and Vocational School. This significant undertaking is designed to enable young people from the local and surrounding communities to pursue their education while simultaneously gaining the technical and vocational expertise necessary for them to become self-sufficient and contributing members of society.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the proprietor and management for their visionary leadership, foresight, and dedication to investing in the education of our youth. I also conveyed my commitment to supporting this commendable initiative.
The imperative for continuous and strategic investment in education across our nation cannot be stressed enough. In a context where approximately 20 million Nigerian children are not enrolled in school, every endeavour to broaden educational access warrants encouragement and backing.
Education serves as the bedrock upon which we can construct a nation characterised by productivity, innovation, and prosperity. It is the platform from which an individual from humble beginnings can achieve prominence, irrespective of personal connections.

Lest we forget, twenty-eight (28) people needlessly died in Osun for our democracy to gain grounds. That did not have to happen. One life is too steep a price to pay for what ought to have been a genuine and periodic election. 28 lives are far too much a waste.
The deceased are the true heroes of our democracy. On their blood and bones the nation has found a path and voice to reaffirm that power still belongs to the people. I hope Osun State will emplace a marker in their memory - that way the labours of our heroes past shall not be in vain. RIP the unknown Osun Warriors of our democracy! RIP!
Osun may have just sent an early memo for 2027: never take the power and the might of the voter for granted.
There was the machinery, the intimidation, the arrests, the “kill them” rhetoric, the EFCC drama, and apparently even the two-hour suspense episode before results emerged. Still, Adeleke won.
The lesson? You can deploy the machinery to the polling unit, but you cannot legally deploy voters to vote the way you want. If you want to win, whether you are the ruling party or the opposition, deepen your grassroots connection.
But nobody should get comfortable. Osun is not the end of the story. It is the warning trailer.
So, watch and protect your vote. And don't leave democracy unattended. Because the people may have won this round, but the machinery has surely gone back to school.
Some of us refuse to get carried away by the #OsunGuber2026 Election result.
The only thing it really proves is that a large voter turnout (43.4% in Osun is high by recent Nigerian standards) is the best antidote to rigging and that we must all join hands to hold @inecnigeria's "feet to the fire 🔥"
As at 8.50am on the day after the elections (today), INEC's IREV had 98.35% of the results uploaded instead of 100%. INEC must still explain why they have NOT uploaded the results from 62 Polling Units out of 3,763 Polling Units i.e. notwithstanding the fact that those results are now largely inconsequential because Governor @AAdeleke_01 has already won.

Voltrons will not save Nigeria, but the choice to be silent when you have a voice, is a choice to be aligned with evil. Davido’s involvement in the Osun election is anything but altruistic, BUT it does prove the point: Nigerian celebrities have major voices..🤔
When you visit the 9/11 Museum in New York, beneath the ground where the Twin Towers once stood, you’ll find a section called “What Have We Learned?”
This section is not about the ideology that drove 19 men to hijack planes. It’s not about the religious worldview that justified slaughtering thousands of civilians.
No, that section is about New York City’s mistakes in dealing with the dust and its long-term health effects on first responders and residents.
Tucked away in a corner, almost hidden, you’ll find the museum’s weak defense of Islam, framing Al-Qaeda and Islamism as nothing more than a political faction that happened to emerge in the mid-20th century.
It’s designed not to offend, not to name the ideology that inspired the attacks.
America didn’t learn the real lesson of 9/11.
The lesson they should have put front and center is: if you ignore the ideology, if you pretend Islam is blameless, you guarantee that the same ideas will strike again.
But instead, the largest section is devoted to dust particles and respiratory illnesses.
That’s why New Yorkers got a jihad-loving mayor 24 years after 9/11
Dear @inecnigeria , thank you for releasing the results from 3,612 Polling Units in the #Osun Governorship Elections i.e. 95.99% of the results by 2am approx. Please release the results of the remaining 151 Polling Units. We are still watching. We also believe you owe the nation an explanation as to why it took you longer to collate the last 13% of the results than it took to collate the first 87%. Was there a "glitch" ? #Osunvotes2026 #GoNigeria
We travelled to Kogi today, and I honestly still cannot believe that a state can be in such a deteriorating condition in 2026. I simply don’t want to believe what I saw.
Some of the schools we visited had no roofs, no chairs, no tables and barely any basic infrastructure. The roads were terrible, electricity was a major issue, and the general state of things was deeply distressing.
And yet, money is allocated to the state every single month. So, where is the governance? Where is the accountability? What exactly are the leaders doing with the resources entrusted to them?
What I saw today has left me broken. Our leaders have no business being this comfortable while the people they were elected to serve are left without basic necessities. There is no excuse for this level of neglect and gross mismanagement in 2026.
Nigeria deserves better. Kogi deserves better. And Nigerians must demand for good governance.
A New Nigeria is About Investment in People
Today, I visited the College of Nursing Sciences and College of Medical Sciences at Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka, an institution I remain committed to supporting.
I made an additional donation of ₦10 million to strengthen its growth, development, and capacity to provide quality medical education and training.
I reminded the students that education goes beyond certificates; it is about gaining the knowledge, skills, discipline and character to make a meaningful difference. Their training also prepares them to become competent, compassionate healthcare professionals who can serve humanity anywhere in the world.
My belief remains that sustained investment in education and healthcare, alongside deliberate efforts to lift people out of poverty, is one of the most effective and responsible ways to build a better, more productive and prosperous society.
When we invest in people, we invest in the future of our nation.

Peter Obi lays the foundation for the construction of the Secondary School and Technical & Vocational Building of Mater Spei Model Nursery/Primary School in Onyigba, Kogi State.
This is Katsina State, as we step up our advocacy across North-West Nigeria.
During our visit to the state, we were warmly received by Sheikh Murtala Ibrahim Imam, Imam Malik, the Collegiate Coordinator of the Obidient Movement in Katsina State, and his executives.
We also visited the Anglican Church in Katsina State, where we met with the Rt. Revd. (Dr.) Bishop Yohanna Nuhu, as well as the Catholic Bishop of the state, Rt. Revd. Gerald Musa, who was represented by Revd. Fr. Bakosi.
These engagements were part of our religious harmony consultations aimed at fostering unity, peaceful coexistence, and building a united Nigeria.
Dr. Zayyana Shehu (Sani Store), the NDC aspirant in Katsina State, also joined us in strengthening the synergy and collective effort towards the 2027 elections.
A New Nigeria is Possible. PO and OK!
