Peter Obi is always interested in gossip... Tufia!
Can you imagine?!
This man went to Ibadan in solidarity with Makinde over the abduction of school children in Oyo State.
And Makinde told him that since the incident, President Tinubu has not called him.
Because, I don't understand. Is it the job of the president to call the governor over an abduction that happened in his state?
Abduction and kidnapping borders on security and the president is not in charge of securing everyone. Besides, Tinubu didn't specifically promise to Oyo school children.
So, Makinde was actually expecting Tinubu to abandon his re-election plans and start getting distracted by a simple kidnapping in Oyo State? Rubbish.
When I suggested appointing Alex as Minister of Education, someone replied that he should first start in Anambra.
He has.
This exposure of the STEM and Math Olympiad is a blessing in disguise; something tells me that the next competition will attract more participants and more private sponsors.
I also hope the same pressure being applied to a private individual will also be exerted on the State and Federal governments to sponsor a delegation from Nigeria.
Nigerian students and teachers are the ones who gain the victories.
The Disturbing Reports from Osun State University
I have read with deep concern the troubling reports of soldiers invading students’ hostels at Osun State University, Osogbo, during which students were allegedly assaulted, humiliated, dispossessed of their personal belongings, and female students subjected to degrading treatment, including rape.
Every Nigerian deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Our Armed Forces are renowned for their courage, discipline, and sacrifice in defending our nation. They are not known for such barbarity against the very citizens they are sworn to protect.
I therefore urge the military high command to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into these allegations. Anyone found culpable should be brought to justice. Holding offending personnel accountable will not only ensure justice for the victims but also preserve the honour and integrity of our Armed Forces while serving as a deterrent against future abuses.
A nation that respects human dignity builds confidence in its institutions. We must never tolerate impunity or the abuse of power.

What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?
This question has become necessary, given where we are today as a nation and where we are supposed to be.
While completing my INEC nomination form yesterday, Section E, Question 1 caught my attention. It asks: “Have you ever been adjudged a lunatic or been declared a person of unsound mind?” The answer is either Yes or No. That question got me thinking: Can we, as the political leaders of today’s Nigeria, truly say we are exhibiting the characteristics of a sound mind?
When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abducted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from, and several billions are being siphoned frivolously through non-existent agencies and projects, should politics really be our primary preoccupation?
A sound-minded leadership would have declared these existential challenges a national emergency and immediately mobilised all relevant institutions, security agencies, experts, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to confront them with urgency and resolve. At a moment like this, the survival, security, and stability of Nigeria must take precedence over every other consideration. This is a time for decisive action, not political calculation or the pursuit of partisan advantage.
Further in the same Section E, Question 6, was: “Have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC?” Again, the answer is either Yes or No. This raises another important question: Why shouldn’t INEC, in the interest of ensuring that our leaders are exemplary in following the rules and to strengthen public confidence in our electoral process, publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office?
Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service.

Why is this airport in Enugu not receiving billions from the Nigerian taxpayers to upgrade?
The airport in Lagos is getting taxpayer funds to upgrade
I ask so it can be explained to me
Nigeria problem is not corruption the way you think
Government officials steal, then do what? Build petrol stations and a 5-bedroom luxury estates
The real problem is a lack of imagination of the leadership
Real Madrid says it's the largest team in the world
They tell us every day. Their allies tell us every day
So why is Real Madrid so afraid of playing Enyimba Football Club in any soccer game that they rush and tell FIFA, UEFA, IATA, plus the EU Commission to ban Enyimba FC from coming to Europe to play any soccer game
Maybe Real Madrid, who have the best scouts and data in football, and understand how to win, know something that even Enyinba does not know
State Police:
"Governors will destroy State Police like they did to Local Government if the funds meant for state police didn't not go directly to the state police commission.” — Abaribe warns the Senate.
Thoughts?
OPEC threatens to leave OPEC if the quota is not raised
If Iraq's output is raised, Iran will also demand that its quota be raised so it can recover lost revenue. More output raises will depress the price of crude oil
I hope Abuja is listening.
Back in Nigeria, those whom he is better than are campaigning for those who have fewer than 20 years on planet Earth. His age mates are campaigning for convicted criminals & drug kingpins. Those who forced him to Japa are receiving praises from his age mates in Nigeria.
“A Northern Nigerian military man vowed publicly to enter the forest to eliminate the notorious Fulani band!t Bello Turji in Zamfara and other Northwestern states, but that very month he was arrested and jailed in Keffi Prison.”
