Celebrating My Eldest Brother at 75

Today, 30th August 2026, I celebrate my eldest brother, Dominic Ositadimma Obi, who turns 75. I celebrate him not merely because he is my elder brother or because of his age, but because he is an exemplary human being.

When I was Governor of Anambra State for eight years, he never came to my office or the Governor’s Lodge for a day seeking favours, as many might have expected. He is a planner and contractor who builds homes for people, yet not once did he ask me for a government contract.

Whenever we met, he would warmly embrace me and tell me that he was fine. He would then solemnly remind me to keep doing what I promised the people and never bring a bad name to the family and my community. He would tell me that whatever difficulties he was going through, many others were worse off, and that I should do my best for society.

I later came to understand that this was not peculiar to him alone. My family members had actually held a meeting and resolved that none of them would take advantage of my position as Governor. They decided that whatever good name I was building for the Obi family and Agulu must be protected. The same principle extended to my children.

Today, at 75, my beloved brother remains deeply concerned about Nigeria. Whenever we speak, he is full of prayers and good wishes. He constantly reminds me that if I have the opportunity to serve Nigeria, I should do so with honesty, integrity, and the interest of the people at heart.

Brother Dom, I thank God for the gift of your life and for the example you have set for our family. Your integrity, humility, contentment, and sense of responsibility are qualities worthy of celebration.

May God Almighty, who has graciously been with you all these years, grant you good health, His abundant grace, and blessings.

Happy 75th birthday, my dearest brother. -PO

The most critical and immeasurable component of human development today is Education. It is a known and verifiable study that the more educated a nation is, the more developed it is. Consequently, the most important investment and Policy a nation requires is educating its people, especially children, to secure their future.

Nigeria was not only a signatory Millinum Development Goals (MDG) and Sustainable Development Goals which emphatically emphasised Education as a critical development yardstick, but also has as law Universal Basic Education, which means every child should have access to quality basic education. Yet, right here in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, public primary school pupils have been out of school for over three months due to a strike.

When the strike began, we all thought, “This is Abuja; it will only last for a day or two.” But here we are, three months later, our children are still at home and we are busy renovating the infrastructure.

The foundation of societal development is educated citizenry, not physical infrastructure. True development is about building people. It is about educating the next generation. A nation that ignores its children's education is digging deeper into poverty, insecurity, and underdevelopment.

We must prioritise investment in human capital, especially in basic education, healthcare, and pulling people out of poverty. That is how nations grow. That is how we build the New Nigeria that is possible.

The regularity of bloodletting of innocent souls in our country has reduced the news value of human deaths.

A glance at the news in a day in Nigeria, one would see the sad reality of our dear nation, and one would wonder if our country's leaders are really concerned.

Even hitherto peaceful areas have turned into killing fields. From Kano today comes a bomb explosion that has left at least 5 persons dead, many injured. And just yesterday, 12 wedding guests were attacked and killed in Plateau, and 11 others were injured.

In Kebbi, 30 people were confirmed dead as bandits went on a rampage.

In Borno, a female suicide bomber killed 24 citizens.

In Katsina, bandits gunned down a police inspector.

All of this just in a day, for a country that is not even at war. And there are still many other unreported cases as the incidents are spreading to all nooks and crannies of the country.

We must begin to treat insecurity as an utmost national priority. And to see the criticism on it as a genuine and constructive voice to help direct authorities to their failings.

An administration that continuously allows insecurity and other vices to thrive is doing a grave disservice to the nation.

The world is watching. People see these killings and corruption all over the system. Allowing these insecurities and corruption to continue is the real demarketing of the country.

But while the country bleeds daily, the relevant authorities must offer adequate response. The grieving Nigerians are not shown any empathy by leaders.

We must tackle this insecurity now. It is destroying lives and demarketing our nation. All hands must be on deck.

We must act now to save our country. Nigerians deserve to live.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump.

On behalf of my family and the Obidients Movement, I extend my warmest congratulations to President Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump on his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States of America.

Your victory is a testament to the resilience of democracy and the enduring will of the American people. It is my hope that your presidency will be marked by policies that foster global stability, economic growth, and strengthened international partnerships, particularly between the United States and Africa.

As you assume this great responsibility, I urge you to champion the values of unity, equity, and justice, which are the bedrock of sustainable progress. The world watches with anticipation, and we are optimistic that your leadership will usher in a new era of cooperation and mutual respect among nations.

Congratulations once again, Mr. President, and best wishes for a successful term. -PO

Today, I joined the clergy and faithful of the Nnewi Diocese for the solemn burial of Rev. Fr. Tobias Okonkwo, Msgr. Donatus Ebubechukwu Ike, and Msgr. Prof. Christopher Ejizu in Nnewi.

Fr. Tobias Okonkwo’s tragic death remains a painful reminder of the alarming insecurity confronting our nation. Senselessly killed by criminal elements, his loss is a blow not just to his family and the Nnewi Diocese but to all Nigerians committed to a safer and more humane society.

Fr. Tobias was the Manager of the College of Nursing Sciences at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala, an institution I have supported and visited annually. During my interaction with him in October 2024, I was deeply moved by his passion for advancing nursing education and his unwavering commitment to improving the health sector. His dedication to enhancing healthcare delivery was remarkable, and his death is a great loss to humanity.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Bishop, Most Rev. Dr. Jonas Benson Okoye, and the entire Nnewi Diocese as they mourn these dedicated servants of God. May God grant them, and all of us, the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss, and may the departed rest in perfect peace.

I also visited the retired Archbishop Godwin Okpala of the Anglican Communion, who was recently freed after enduring three weeks in captivity. I am heartened to see His Grace in high spirits, undeterred by the trauma, and resolute in his belief that, with the right leadership, Nigeria can overcome its challenges and emerge stronger.

My encounter with Archbishop Okpala strengthens my call for an intensified, decisive battle against insecurity at all levels of government. With unity, commitment, and shared resolve, we can restore peace, protect lives, and secure a brighter future for our nation. -PO

Today, I woke up to the heartbreaking news of the tragic and unfortunate death of Rev Fr. Tobias Okonkwo, the Manager of the College of Nursing Sciences, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala.

Fr Tobias was shot dead by yet-be-identified criminals last night in Ihiala, Anambra.

The constant killing of our very productive men and women by some bloodmongers is beyond heartbreaking.

In many parts of the nation, the blood of our brothers and sisters whose lives were cut short by insecurity, continue to cry.

How many more lives will be wasted before we rise to action and put an end to this menace contending with our future as a nation?

As one who has continuously visited and partnered with the College of Nursing Sciences, Ihiala, I understand how devastating this incident is to the College community.

I extend my sincere condolences to his immediate family, the proprietor, the entire management, staff, and students of the College of Nursing Sciences, Ihiala.

May God grant him eternal rest and grant us all the fortitude to bear his sad irreplaceable loss.

May God heal our bleeding nation. -PO

I am deeply saddened and distressed by the tragic loss of lives in desperate searches for food. A few days ago, about 35 people, mostly children, lost their lives in a stampede at a Christmas Funfair in Ibadan, Oyo State.

This morning, reports emerged of at least 10 people losing their lives in Abuja while scrambling for palliatives, with many others injured.

Now, I just heard that about 19 more lives were lost in another stampede in Okija, Anambra State, as people struggled to receive food items.

While I will not cast blame, but instead appreciate the organizers of these respective events for their kind gestures in providing palliatives and support to society, especially the poor, these tragedies reflect the systemic failures that plague our society.

The desperate quest for survival in these harsh economic times has driven our people to extremes in their search for food, often at the cost of their lives.

How do we explain that in a nation blessed with abundant resources, our people are dying of hunger in such numbers? How is it possible that we cannot feed our citizens despite the vast, fertile lands our nation is endowed with? My heart bleeds.

One can only imagine the pain their families are enduring at this moment. My heart goes out to them. I sincerely commiserate with all the affected families and the good people of Oyo, Anambra, and the FCT over these tragic incidents. May God grant them, and all of us, the strength to bear these painful losses.

May God Almighty grant the departed souls eternal rest, and may the injured recover swiftly. -PO

Congratulations and Welcome to the United States of America! 🇺🇸

Here are some important tips for students arriving in the U.S.:

1. Set Up a Network Provider:

Getting a mobile network provider is one of the first things you should do upon arriving in the U.S.

Popular options include Mint Mobile (budget-friendly), Lyca, T-Mobile, and AT&T. It’s crucial to check which provider offers the best coverage in your area.

WiFi is widely available, so you may not need an unlimited data plan right away.

You can get a SIM card at the airport, Walmart, or ask someone to order one for you before you arrive, as delivery can take some time. Having a U.S. phone number is essential for tasks like opening a bank account in your first few days.
