Omo our realities in the different states in this country dey different o. I see things like this and I’m dumbfounded. I go too crash out if i ever experience something like this in Calabar.
Master Chisom Unachukwu is at the Colosseum.
Our teachers can now enjoy a vacation abroad.
This is the reward for years of hard work, and it has to be normalized.
He said to me that he now feels proud to be a teacher.
Some of us are yet to understand, removing Tinubu from that seat is not business as usual. It is paramount for this generation and the next's survival.
I took the boys and teachers to the Italian Parliament building in Rome, which is equivalent to the National Assembly in Nigeria.
The boys asked why everyone was walking freely and why the police were being so nice to us.
I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
Burkinabé students now need government permission to study abroad. This means that whether your father is a cabinet minister or a private millionaire, there is no way for their children to escape the state of the country's educational system
Which leaves them no choice but to make sure that the facilities available to students in the country are befitting of their own children.
That is how a country develops an actual elite. Not like Nigeria where as soon as I finished secondary school, my parents put me on a plane to England to enjoy a standard of education that no Nigerian alive today will ever enjoy in Nigeria. The class my parents belong to is called a pseudo-elite.
A proper elite is what is coming together now in the AES. Just wait. If there is no change of Nigeria's trajectory, within 10 years, Nigerians will start going to university in Burkina Faso and making it out to be a status symbol.
Just look at how young and bright they are.
Their present is already generations ahead of the future Nigerian university students.
I swear if you are supporting this government, you shall not die well!
Nigerian journalism is in the gutter. This is a story that should be investigated by journalists themselves and they are discussing it as if they are reporting gossip and reading out tweets. Journalism is not peddling gossip and discussing it like they are The View.
UN’s Warning on Northern Nigeria’s Food Crisis
The recent report from the UN about the impending food crisis in northern Nigeria is disheartening, more so because it is avoidable. Northern Nigeria is the nation’s food basket, and nothing short of incompetent and irresponsible leadership could have created this tragedy.
In a recent post on my X handle, I urged our national leaders to reassess their priorities and address the dire circumstances facing our citizens. I called on the Federal Government and state leaders to move beyond mere political discourse and make transparent, upfront investments to secure agricultural corridors, support smallholder farmers with accessible resources, and collaborate vigorously with organisations like the World Food Programme (WFP) to bridge funding gaps before this crisis escalates and claims more lives, especially those of children.
A prosperous Nigeria, free from hunger, is achievable, but it requires leadership that prioritises the welfare of its citizens.
I am deeply troubled by the latest report from the UN’s World Food Programme, indicating that northern Nigeria is experiencing its most severe hunger crisis in nearly a decade. Over 17 million people in nine northern states face crisis-level hunger, with more than 35 million Nigerians nationwide at risk during this challenging season.
The fact that over 10,000 residents of Borno State have entered “catastrophic” hunger conditions represents not only immense human suffering but also a profound national failure. Nigeria should not rank among the world’s hungriest nations, given its abundant resources, particularly the vast stretches of fertile, uncultivated land in the North.
This food crisis stems from two critical structural failures: insecurity and farmers’ inability to access their lands. Banditry and insurgency have turned agrarian communities into displacement zones. Until we secure our agricultural areas, we cannot secure our future.
Our global hunger ranking continues to worsen because of our proclivity for adopting superficial measures that do little to boost agricultural productivity or transform rural infrastructure. We need to adopt policies that address the structural barriers to agricultural productivity and transform our land resources into agro-industrial output. We can overcome hunger and poverty if we urgently shift our focus from consumption to production.
A New Nigeria, devoid of hunger and mass poverty - a Nigeria where we transform our arable land into productive acreage - remains attainable, but it demands leadership that prices the lives and livelihoods of the Nigerian people above grandiose road dualisation projects.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Today is D-day.
Our boys are now at the Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma for the Grand Finale of the International STEM Olympiad in Rome, Italy.
I’m optimistic about their victory.
Remember when all the Yoruba accounts were crying over Air Peace's ISI Agu uniform, a private company for that matter?
Now they want to force their Adire on us. We reject it forever and ever. It will not happen.
I posted Peter Obi or nothing on my Whatsapp status.
An APC supporter chatted me asking me why are Peter Obi and Obidients so desperate?
I asked him "...Do you how desperate it is for a political party to import terrorists and bandits into the same country they want to govern Just in case GEJ doesn't handle over?
He argued and I sent him evidence.
Since yesterday he hasn't replied me😭😭😭
