Fire safety is one of the charges imposed by State Internal Revenue Services on every registered establishment. They even embark on field inspection to ensure strict compliance. Yet, when emergencies like this strike, you're left to your fate. Governance in this country is a scam
Yesterday, I had the honour of celebrating the graduation of 850 young innovators from TechRise Cohort 3. These brilliant minds have completed intensive ICT training and are now equipped to shape Abia’s digital future.
To encourage their excellent performance, I have:
* Approved automatic employment into the State Civil Service for the 19 best-graduating students.
* Directed that all 850 graduands receive ₦100,000 each.
* Gifted them the laptops used during training, now theirs to keep.
Beyond these, I have instructed our ministries to integrate TechRise talents into government ICT projects, ensuring their skills directly improve public service delivery. A special salary structure for ICT professionals in the civil service will also be introduced.
I urge our graduands to remain committed to continuous learning. The greatest reward of the programme is the knowledge and skills they now possess. Use them to build businesses, create innovations, and uplift society—not for harmful purposes.
I am particularly proud of the team that developed a functional drone. We will support them in moving this innovation from concept to commercial reality.
Finally, we are working to establish international-standard ICT certification centres in Abia and expand internet access across the state in partnership with MTN.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to our graduands, once again. You are the true architects of our collective future.
Rufai: You hardly offer solutions. For instance, while speaking recently you talked about adding extra megawatts and targeting 10,000 megawatts. Can you give a breakdown of how you are going to achieve that 10,000 megawatts of electricity?
Peter Obi’s response: Somebody said, “If I don’t give you power, don’t vote for me.” Did he tell you how he is going to give you power? So why must my own be in the marketplace?

President Tinubu has now signed the Electoral Act 2026, and it removes certificate forgery as a ground for challenging election results at tribunals. Politicians can no longer be disqualified over fake credentials.
Incase you didn’t know,
Now you know.

Today marks the official nationwide kickoff of the presidential campaign for all political parties.
For Peter Obi, the ask is simple: give him four years, not eight. His ambition is not about clinging to power for eight years. It is about using four years to lay the foundation for a New Nigeria strong enough to outlive any one administration.
Four years of discipline, competence, accountability and purposeful leadership can change the direction of our country.
Today, the journey to laying the foundation for a New Nigeria begins.
#NigeriaWillBeOk
H.E Peter Obi.
No public office blemish, no corrupt cases, no shady pasts - walks the talk & has proven that there's an upright way to do politics.
You're the man we say you are & thrice the man you think you are.
In my lifetime, you will be president and THAT IS NEXT YEAR.
Nigerians are actually not smart.
I see people insulting him in the comments and quotes saying "his party lost".
What this despicable cunt is telling you, is that:
Whether Adeleke won or Ambo won - it is all in line with Tinubu's grand agenda, and he's right.
Disgraceful.
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.
@channelstv What a people! What a society!
If a Governor wins an election in New York or Colorado, will he thank Donald Trump for a free and fair election? For letting him win?
A broken society!
A broken people!
One of the beauties of the Abia State 20 newly commissioned electric buses is that their stairs can be adjusted to lift persons with disabilities.

Wallahi, we are currently hiding in the bush. The bandits have forced us to flee our town, and I am now hiding in the bushes. I have no idea where my wife and my mother are.

There's this yahoo guy in our compound that is not always at home , he just rented a place here to keep his properties while he lives in a hotel .
But recently he started coming back home more often so one day our caretaker told him to contribute so we can pump water , he did and we pumped the water but he didn't use it , after pumping the water he went back to his hotel and remained there .
One month later our sumo spoilt and we were doing meeting on how to fix it , everything came out about 137k both for repair and workmanship.
We are already budgeting how all of us must contribute 6k each, our caretaker said we shouldn't count him since he's always outside but we the compound people said he must contribute whether he stays at home or not , we are arguing it ....
until he came back and met us having the meeting, we started hailing him and he asked us what the meeting was for we told him and right there he transferred 150k to the caretaker's account
He said use 137k to buy and fix the sumo then use the remaining one to buy drink for compound people.
Now imagine if we had forced him to pay, he would have just paid the 6k and leave immediately.
What I am hearing about WAEC Nigeria is deeply troubling.
This year recorded the highest performance in the history of WAEC and they are not happy about it.
There is something many Nigerians do not understand about WAEC grading.
The score required for A1, B2, B3, C4 etc. may not simply be a permanently fixed number every year.
From the information available to me, WAEC applies statistical standardisation/normalisation based partly on the overall performance of candidates.
In simple English:
If a paper is unusually difficult and candidates generally perform poorly, the threshold required for a particular grade can effectively be lower.
If candidates perform extraordinarily well, the threshold can become much higher.
So hypothetically, what qualifies as an A in one examination could be around 60, while the statistical threshold in another circumstance could be 80, 90 or even higher.
Your final grade therefore may not tell the complete story of your raw score.
This year involved candidates sitting examinations under different modes, including computer-based/hybrid arrangements and the traditional paper-based system.
And there are serious allegations that questions circulated ahead of time in some paper-based centres.
If that happened on a significant scale, it could artificially inflate the overall performance of that population.
Then comes the critical question:
When WAEC carried out its standardisation, were candidates from fundamentally different examination conditions treated as one population?
Because if leaked questions artificially pushed one group’s scores upwards, and those abnormal scores subsequently influenced grade thresholds, an innocent student who genuinely scored very highly could suddenly appear statistically ordinary.
Imagine scoring what would ordinarily be excellent marks, only to receive a surprisingly poor grade because you were being compared against an abnormal national distribution.
That is the heart of what needs to be investigated.
And it wouldn’t affect only computer-based candidates.
Honest children who wrote paper-based examinations without cheating could also have been punished by the abnormal performance of people who had access to questions.
The innocent students potentially become the victims of the malpractice they never participated in.
This is why WAEC cannot simply tell Nigerians that these children failed.
Show us the data.
What were the raw scores?
What were the score distributions?
What thresholds produced A1, B2, B3, C4, C5 and C6 in each major subject?
Were those thresholds changed after marking?
Were computer-based and paper-based candidates standardised separately?
How were centres showing statistically abnormal performance treated?
And have results changed after candidates requested reviews?
Because I am also receiving disturbing reports that some people who aggressively challenged questionable results got their cases reconsidered, while millions of ordinary parents may not even know they can request a review.
If that is true, it is unacceptable.
A child whose parents have connections cannot have greater access to justice than a child sitting somewhere in a village.
And there is another dimension that must not be ignored: I am receiving serious allegations of internal management problems within WAEC Nigeria, including concerns about how staff who question certain decisions are treated.
Those allegations also deserve an independent investigation.
This is not an attack on WAEC.
It is a demand for accountability.
The Federal Ministry of Education and National Assembly should urgently invite the leadership of WAEC Nigeria.
Because behind every A1, C6 or F9 is not just a statistic.
There is a child. There is a family. There is a university admission. There is a scholarship. There is a future.
We cannot gamble with the destinies of an entire generation of Nigerian children.
We have now taken legal action against WAEC.
WAEC has 14 days to respond and take appropriate action, failing which we will proceed with litigation.
You can carefully read the details here https://t.co/x1JhbqoKe1 .
There appears to be a serious problem with the recently released results that WAEC has so far refused to publicly acknowledge and address. The consequences are not abstract. Real students are affected. Their admissions, opportunities and futures are at stake.
We cannot sit back and watch an institution as important as WAEC toy with the destinies of young people because it is unwilling to admit that something may have gone wrong.
If there is a glitch, admit it. Investigate it transparently. Fix it. And where students have been wrongly affected, correct their results.
That is what accountability looks like.
No institution should be too big to admit an error, especially when the future of a child may depend on it.
WAEC must be accountable. WAEC must be transparent. And every affected student deserves answers.
