Africa can't afford to expect or require the imperialists or foreigners to look out for our interests. We must do so ourselves.
We must be in the drinking seat.
We must take our future into our own hands and end this absurdity.
Federal Government’s investments in the southeast of Nigeria:
Military/police barracks
Military/police checkpoints
DSS commands
EFCC command
Customs, etc.
In other regions?
Sea ports
International airports
Big Corporations, etc.
But Soludo 👇🏾
“We congratulate the EFCC and thank Mr. President for this important investment in strengthening the fight against corruption in our region.” - C.C. Soludo
Meanwhile, Anambra is the state with the highest number of homegrown billionaires per capita in all of Nigeria. And this is what we ended up with as governor.
Anambra is sadly under a curse called Soludo 🤡 Mana aga enwe deliverance very soon.
Chi anyi ama nda 💪
BREAKING: Lagos State Police Command have uncovered and sealed a suspected illegal factory used to produce and package adulterated alcoholic drinks in the Yafin area of Badagry, Lagos State.
🇧🇫For the 1st time in its history, Burkina Faso was able to successfully treat 162 cardiac (heart) patient at home with specialist treatment, without needing to send them overseas, thanks to Traore's investment in healthcare:
In 2025, the Tengandogo University Hospital treated 162 patients for cardiac surgery. This announcement was made by the Ministry of Health on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
Of the registered patients, 105 underwent open-heart surgery. 25 underwent closed-heart surgery, while 32 others were treated via interventional catheterization.
Behind these figures are men, women, and children who were able to receive specialized care without having to leave their families. This development helps bring previously difficult-to-access care closer to the populations who need it.
I actually understand their Igbo better than that of Ebonyi, which I love and find very entertaining. Yet we’re told they’re not Igbo. SMH
Igbo bu ofu 💪
Rubbish. Where are the actual ones that invaded the country? It’s a globalist operation known to all the European powers that be. Including Italy that’s suspending Schengen Agreement. They all know what’s happening.
How do you let nearly 60k military age men into your country with zero resistance and security presence at the borders and you’re here dropping stupid press statements? It’s a plan.
My annoyance is the way they keep saying “Africans!” Soon, they’ll make policies to hurt innocent black Africans and claim it’s because of the invasion - meanwhile, not one black African is a part of this eyesore.
Rehabilitate Existing Infrastructure Before Embarking on New Projects
I have consistently advised governments at all levels to prioritise rehabilitating existing infrastructure before embarking on new projects that may also end up abandoned or left unfinished. For expressing this position, I have often been criticised and called all sorts of names. Yet, it remains the most responsible approach to governance.
It is therefore noteworthy that President Bola Tinubu has now cautioned state governors against committing scarce public resources to constructing unnecessary flyovers in areas with little traffic while neglecting more pressing developmental needs.
The President is, in essence, saying what I have always maintained: government must prioritise projects that directly address the immediate needs of the people. I hope those ministers, officials, and supporters who have consistently attacked this position will now direct the same criticism at him.
However, this admonition must also apply to the Federal Government. There are several unrealistic and white-elephant projects being pursued by the current administration, even as much of our critical infrastructure remains in a state of disrepair. Given our present fiscal realities, priority should be given to rehabilitating and completing existing infrastructure rather than embarking on expensive new projects with limited immediate impact.
Across Nigeria, many of our major highways linking commercial centres and food-producing communities have deteriorated into death traps. Neglecting these critical roads while pursuing prestige projects is neither economically prudent nor people-centred.
This philosophy guided my administration as Governor of Anambra State. I prioritised completing viable projects initiated by my predecessors before embarking on new ones. Government is a continuum, and development should never be measured by who starts a project, but by whether it is completed and serves the people.
Leadership is about making the right choices: fixing what is broken, completing what has already been started, and investing limited public resources where they will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Colombia is recognized as the world's largest hard drug trafficking and producing country, accounting for over 67% of the global supply of cocaine.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Colombian coca leaf cultivation and pure cocaine production have consistently broken records, reaching over 2,600 metric tons produced annually.
And now, all of a sudden, a new embassy in Nigeria 👇
This is what everyone should be talking about right now. But the guys in Abuja won’t pay attention until it’s abundantly clear to them that victory in 2027 is a pipe dream.
Earlier today, I met with the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency Dr Richard Montgomery. We had a thoughtful discussion on the state of our democracy, the economy, the importance of strengthening our institutions, and the need to ensure that our elections remain free, fair, credible, and truly reflective of the will of the Nigerian people.
As Dr Montgomery prepares to conclude his diplomatic assignment in Nigeria next month, I thanked him for his service and for the role he has played in strengthening the longstanding relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom. His time in Nigeria has been marked by constructive engagement and support for our democratic and economic development.
I wished him well as he prepares for his next assignment and thanked him for the friendship and cooperation he has extended to Nigeria throughout his tenure. I look forward to seeing the strong relationship between our two countries continue to grow.

Reflections on My 65th Birthday
Today, July 19, 2026, marks my 65th birthday. At sixty-five, birthdays should naturally become moments of deep reflection - moments to look back with gratitude to Almighty God for His abundant graces, examine the journey so far, and ask how the remaining years can be devoted more meaningfully to the service of God and humanity.
Perhaps in countries where basic human needs have largely been met, where institutions function effectively, and where citizens enjoy a greater measure of security and dignity, such attainments may rightly call for elaborate celebrations. In Nigeria, however, our reality compels a different kind of reflection.
Our nation is blessed with enormous human and natural resources, yet millions of our people continue to struggle with challenges that demand our collective attention. We cannot afford to celebrate ourselves excessively while many around us are burdened by poverty, ill health, unemployment, and limited opportunities. Rather, occasions such as this should remind us of our responsibility to contribute towards building a nation where future generations can genuinely celebrate.
This is why I have always seen birthdays not merely as occasions for personal celebration, but as opportunities for sober reflection, thanksgiving, and a renewed commitment to service.
As I reflected today, I came to a simple conclusion: the greatest celebration of life is not what we receive from others, but the lives we can touch positively.
This conviction has guided my approach throughout my years in business, in the corporate world, and as Governor of Anambra State. In each of these roles, I have tried to see every privilege not as a personal entitlement but as an opportunity to improve the lives of others.
Whenever people or institutions sought to celebrate me with expensive gifts or elaborate ceremonies, I encouraged them instead to redirect those resources towards projects that would have a lasting impact. Over the years, this philosophy has resulted in the building of schools, hostel blocks, support to schools, and other facilities that continue to benefit the less privileged. I have always believed that resources meant for personal comfort can often be transformed into instruments of hope for many.
The greatest honour anyone can receive is not found in gifts, ceremonies, or public admiration, but in knowing that one’s life has contributed, however modestly, to making another person’s life better.
Today, therefore, I give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of life and for bringing me to this important milestone of 65 years. I began the day with a Mass of Thanksgiving in Onitsha, thanking God for His grace, protection, guidance, and the countless blessings He has bestowed upon me over the years.
After the Mass, I proceeded to St. Raphael’s Hospital, Umueri, a small rural hospital in Anambra East Local Government Area. In furtherance of my belief that birthdays should be occasions for service rather than self-indulgence, I donated the sum of ₦10 million to support the hospital’s work of providing quality healthcare to the people.
As I was conducted around the hospital and saw patients in their moments of vulnerability, I was reminded again of our shared humanity. Some of those receiving care may not even have the financial means to settle their hospital bills, yet they deserve compassion, dignity, and access to quality healthcare. Their condition was a reminder that leadership, in its truest form, is about caring for people, especially those who cannot repay our kindness.
Hospitals and schools remain two of the greatest investments any society can make. A hospital preserves life; a school shapes the future. Supporting both is, therefore, not just an act of charity - it is an investment in humanity and in the future of our nation.
Please join Mina and me in praying for the families of the two brave American service members who were killed, and for the safe return of the missing service member.
Eternal rest grant unto them, o Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them.
BREAKING: Iran has told Abu Dhabi to evacuate its citizens near Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports.
This is coming as the U.S. worldwide terror alert is said to include threats to U.S facilities on the homeland - on U.S. soil. This war has clearly entered a whole new phase and is most likely going to have far reaching implications on the global economy.
BREAKING: After killing two U.S. servicemen with a missile strike, reportedly in their sleep, Iran tells all Middle Eastern nations hosting U.S. Troops to prepare for battle.
Analysts believe a much wider Middle Eastern war is now underway, as the United States is said to have begun striking at key Iranian gas installations. Clearly an economic decapitation of the Iranian regime elements.
