The Ministry of Education has now contacted the National Mathematical Centre to request that it submit all national Olympiad competitions it organizes.
They want to start sponsoring all of them to the international finals now.
They have started contacting schools already.
This was abandoned in 2019.
I hope they don’t politicize it.
Our children need to shine on global stages.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
My Stance on Road Development
There is a pertinent reason I have consistently advocated that we should refrain from initiating new road construction projects until we have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network. Instead of undertaking new ventures and dualization projects that offer marginal benefits, our primary focus ought to be on repairing the critical roads already in place.
Consider, for instance, the Asaba–Benin Road. This thoroughfare is a vital artery within Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. Travellers traversing from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Cross River, Abia, Enugu, and portions of Benue and Kogi States to Lagos are compelled to utilise this route.
Despite its significance, substantial sections of this road are in a lamentable condition. It has become a major impediment, precipitating persistent traffic congestion and inflicting undue hardship on travellers, businesses, and transport operators.
Regrettably, this situation is not unique; it reflects the reality on many of our busiest national highways.
Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention.
Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
When Peter Obi said politics made him poor.
I thought he was just blabbing or just playing politics.
But a look into his career before politics opened my eyes.
A bank chairman at 34.
Bought a $1 million dollars house in the UK with cash as far back as 1980.
Was making $25 million per annum in 1990.
And lived in his own house as an undergraduate.
Supporting Education with a visit to Shanahan University
I remain firmly convinced that no nation truly develops without investing deeply in human capital. The more a society invests in education, the more sustainable its development becomes. Education remains the most critical driver of progress; the more educated a state is, the more its prospects to develop become.
Guided by this conviction, I visited Shanahan University, Onitsha, Anambra State, again yesterday, an institution I have supported on several occasions. During the visit, I continued my support with an additional donation of 25 million Naira.
I wish to sincerely commend the management, lecturers, and staff of the university for their dedication and the excellent work they are doing in nurturing a new generation of morally upright, academically sound, and socially responsible leaders. I am particularly encouraged by the vision and commitment of the institution to building a better society through quality education.
I also urge the students to remain focused on their studies and to keep hope alive. The future belongs to them, and with discipline, hard work, and strong values, they can play a vital role in building the New Nigeria we all desire.

How many politicians in Nigeria of today can take anyone to court bcos they want the person to expose more of the crimes they commit 😀😅🤣
Peter Obi is the standard..
Peter Obi is a proper comedian.
They asked him why he doesn't partake in party primaries,
And he said that party primaries are like street football, someone can foul you and the ref would say play on. 😂😂
Tinubu supporters asked Peter Obi how he'll generate 10,000 megawatts.
And Peter Obi is asking them why didn't they ask Tinubu how he'll provide to the whole Nigeria when he made the promise.
Omo! This clap back is made in Taiwan. 😂
You're angry that Peter Obi didn't tell you how he'll solve insecurity. 😂
You want expo baa? No ooo. Go and do the work you signed for.
During last election, Tinubu said he won't talk about his manifesto and ideas because his opponents would steal it and you clapped for him.
Today, Peter Obi is telling you if you want to know how he'll solve insecurity, vote for him first and find out.
And you're gnashing teeth since last night. 😂😂
This wasn’t campaign. It wasn’t a political rally. He wasn’t sharing rice. He was there on a funeral visit, but see the crowd. When you’re loved, you’re loved, bro. 🥹❤️
Farewell to Bishop Peter Nworie Chukwu
This morning, I joined the clergy drawn from across the country and lay faithful of the Catholic Diocese of Abakaliki for the requiem Mass and burial of the late Most Rev. Peter Nworie Chukwu, Bishop of the Diocese.
His passing is a profound loss to his family, the Diocese, and the Universal Church, but we are comforted by the testimonies of his life of dedicated service to God and humanity.
In his homily, Archbishop Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji reflected on the inevitability of death and described the late Bishop as a courageous and devoted shepherd whose life was marked by sacrifice, service, and fidelity to his calling. Governor Francis Nwifuru also described him as a monumental loss to Ebonyi State and a pathfinder whose leadership transcended religious boundaries.
The Archbishop’s message further highlighted the moral demands of leadership and the commitment required of those entrusted with governance, both in the Church and public service, to make society work.
The Apostolic Nuncio to Nigeria, Archbishop Michael Francis Crotty, representing the Holy Father, underscored the unity of the Universal Church in this moment of grief. I also commend Bishop Ernest Obodo, the Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese, for his leadership and for ensuring a hitch-free funeral for the late Bishop.
May God grant Bishop Peter Nworie Chukwu eternal rest. -PO
Today, I held meetings in London with some stakeholders in British politics and business community, including Lord Jonathan Marland, the Chairman of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC).
The discussion with Lord Marland held particular importance as it centred on prospective trade opportunities, economic advancement, and the promotion of small businesses throughout Nigeria.
It is clear that fostering a robust economy and generating employment, as evidenced by rapidly growing nations like China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, necessitates a concerted effort to prioritise support for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.
As I have consistently asserted, our micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) serve as the driving force behind economic growth, and it is imperative that we provide them with vigorous support to enhance development and create significant employment opportunities, particularly within the agriculture and manufacturing sectors.
A New and revitalised Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Peter Obi will go on air and talk about what he achieved as Governor of Anambra state.
After everything he will challenge everyone to go and verify.
One unfortunate Fencist will still come here and be asking:
"what did Peter Obi really achieve as Governor for eight years that we should vote for him?"
But I thought the man said you should go and verify.
If anyone asks you such stupid question again ask them to goan ask their father.
Peter Obi and stinginess.
Look at the kind of drinks on their table, eva wine, malt and water.
They can't even bring out ordinary N20 million to buy high quality drinks.
Rubbish.
