There is a false tribal narrative being circulated claiming that we dropped a Yoruba child to replace him with an Igbo child for the International STEM Olympiad in Rome.
That claim is completely false.
This is the full live stream of the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad Grand Finale, where the winners emerged. Our selection process was conducted publicly because we believe transparency is the best way to protect integrity.
We deliberately stream our competitions live so everyone can see how winners are determined. Our goal is simple: ensure that the right children win based on merit, not ethnicity, religion, connections or influence.
We are building a generation that believes hard work is rewarded. Merit is not negotiable.

Nigeria's children deserve better than tribal propaganda. They deserve fairness.
🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ARNE SLOT AND LIVERPOOL TO PART WAYS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. 💣
It’s over between the Dutch manager and Liverpool after end of the season review. 👋🏼
Andoni Iraola, clear favorite to take over as next #LFC head coach.
A must watch: Sir Chidi Lloyd has condemned the harassment of motorists by VIO officials in Rivers State, insisting that a court judgment already barred them from stopping vehicles, impounding cars, or imposing fines on road users. Every Nigerian must see this share with others.
“Don’t follow a divørced woman as your friend, even if she’s your sister. Teach her to either reconcile with her husband or remarry. They will tell you men are not important, but still go behind and do otherwise. There’s something you people need to stop, just because your marriage is broken doesn’t mean you should break other people’s marriages.”

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct
One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.
It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.
I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.
Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.
I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.
In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.
My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.
If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.
I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.
We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.
Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:
sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.
Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.
These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
“Don’t choose comfort at the age of labor so that you won’t labor at the age of comfort. There is a phase in life meant for hard work, sacrifice, learning, and building. If you spend that period chasing only ease, you’re likely setting yourself up for a harder future. Suffer a little now to enjoy more later instead of enjoying now and suffering later.”

Dating broke is something a lot of men are going through, but almost nobody says it out loud.
There is this quiet pressure to show up looking like you have it all together. Nice place, good clothes, steady spending. Even when that is not your reality yet.
So what happens?
You start spending to impress instead of spending with intention.
You take her out when you know your account is not smiling. You pick places you cannot really afford. You say yes to things just to avoid looking small. In the moment, it feels necessary. Like you are doing what you are supposed to do.
But later, it catches up.
Now you are juggling bills, cutting corners in other parts of your life, maybe even going into debt, all to maintain an image that was never sustainable in the first place.
And the tricky part is, it does not always come from the other person. Sometimes the pressure is internal. You feel like if you do not spend, you will not be taken seriously. Like your value is tied to what you can provide financially right now.
So instead of building stability, you are performing stability.
There is also the expectation side of things. Some people genuinely expect to be taken care of, and if you are not ready for that, it creates tension. You either stretch yourself to meet those expectations or you start feeling inadequate.
Neither option really works long term.
Because real stability is quiet. It is not loud spending or constant proving. It is being able to handle your responsibilities without stress. It is knowing what you can afford and being comfortable with it.
The hard truth is this.
If you are still building, you should date like you are still building.
Not like you have already arrived.
Because the goal is not to impress for a few months. The goal is to be stable for years.
And anyone who only respects you when you are spending is someone you will keep paying for, one way or another.
