Today, I was a guest at two special and memorable events, a Guest Speaker in 2 remarkable institutions in Abia State; first at Methodist College, Uzuakoli, celebrating its Centenary Anniversary and then at the Annual Meeting of Government Boys College Umuahia, which was hosted by their Class of 1974, celebrating their 50 years as Alumni members.

Through many decades of educational growth and development, these renowned institutions have raised many national figures whose contributions to our national development remain immeasurable. For example, Methodist College Umuahia produced the Late Dr Michael Okpara, the first premier of the Eastern Region of Nigeria; the Late Clement Isong who was the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and an elected Governor of Cross River State, and a fine jurist, Sir Egbert Udo Udoma, a former judge of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, to mention but a few. Government Boys College Umuahia produced best-selling authors like Chinua Achebe, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Elechi Amadi, Christopher Okigbo, and so on.

In my little contribution, I appreciate everyone who has, in any way, contributed to the sustenance of educational growth in both institutions through these years. In interacting with the students, I encouraged them to always appreciate the formation they receive from their teachers both in learning and in character. I urged them to always look up to their old boys, who have grown to become responsible members of society, contributing productively to our national development.

I also leveraged the opportunity to call on the alumni body to remain supportive of the institutions as a way of giving back to society through investment in education.
The seeds of educational investments we sow today will grow into the harvest of national development in New Nigeria, which is possible. -PO

Great mentor and friend to younger Old boys.
May the gentle soul of Omelora rest in the Bosom of Our Lord.

This 2012 article where Tinubu tore Jonathan to pieces for removing subsidy has resurfaced. In the article, Tinubu said, “It is as if Jonathan has turned from president to pharaoh and has decreed that the people make bricks without straw.” https://t.co/HvRx4DxPOc

Naira was at roughly 200+ when this tweet went out. That June, the Gbese began. It's sitting on 750+ now. Them still never arrest anybody.

I need my people to be liberated from mental laziness masquerading as inspiration from God. Righteousness exalts a nation. Hard work and productivity exalts a nation. Justice exalts a nation. Truth exalts a nation. But praying for currency devaluation to be arrested, well. Well.
