This is why Rufai Oseni cried.. just listen
Tinubu’s government has spent over ₦11.9 trillion on “energy security” (Subsidy) to guarantee fuel supply.
For context: Buhari spent ₦11 trillion on fuel subsidies in 8 years when petrol sold for ₦187 per litre. Today, under Tinubu, petrol costs over ₦1,300 per litre, yet more money has been spent in just two years than Buhari spent throughout his entire subsidy regime.
This country is run by criminals.
Nigerians, APC Vice Chairman Lukman has said Bola Tinubu can only win in 2027 through rigging. It is now time for us to mobilize and stop Tinubu from rigging the election.
Celebrating a Great Mind, Prof. Barth Nnaji, at 70 and Congratulating a Young Intellectual, Prof. Chimaeze Adi, on His Inspiring Inaugural Lecture
Today, in Enugu, I joined other Nigerians of goodwill in celebrating a great mind—an accomplished scientist, innovator, and one of the pioneers of the E-Design concept—Prof. Barth Nnaji, as he marked his 70th birthday.
The tributes paid to Prof. Nnaji by friends, associates, and admirers reflected the profound impact he has made in engineering, academia, public service, and the power sector.
The occasion also brought back fond memories of my interactions with Prof. Nnaji, especially during my tenure as Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum. We worked closely together on the ambitious initiative to assume greater responsibility for power in the South-East, driven by our shared conviction that reliable electricity remains one of the strongest foundations for economic growth, industrialisation, and job creation. His depth of knowledge, clarity of vision, and practical approach left a lasting impression on all of us.
May Prof. Nnaji’s light continue to shine ever more brightly.
From Enugu, I travelled to Lagos to attend the inspiring 23rd Inaugural Lecture, “The End of Development Economics,” delivered by one of our country’s promising young intellectuals, Prof. Alpheus Bongo Chimaeze Adi of Pan-Atlantic University. The lecture addressed many important issues relating to economics and development.
I first met Prof. Adi during my 2022 presidential campaign. Even then, he distinguished himself as one of our outstanding young intellectuals, demonstrating a profound understanding of economics and development issues.
It was a fitting celebration of two remarkable minds from different generations, whose lives have been defined by excellence, innovation, patriotism, and commitment to Nigeria’s development. -PO
BREAKING: Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has threatened to challenge the Federal Government in court over its handover of newly built luxury houses to judges in Abuja’s Katampe district.
He said the gesture was discriminatory and illegal, warning that legal action against it was imminent.
They’re circulating Peter Obi’s picture with Malami. 🤣🤣🤣
This is more than enough to tell you that Peter Obi is a saint, bro.
Do you know how clean you’re for the APC not to have anything against you but a picture with some politicians?
They have nothing on my man.
Integrity choke for Obi’s side.
I’m not backing a criminal, Alhamdulillah!
On the PO’s appeal of the last election, “Now there’s nothing to worry about the court. The court before was Peter bs Tinubu, now it’ll be the people vs the government; when the people come to court, the court will sit up - and I can tell you, I’ll drive the people to the court”. - PO
They told us subsidy was dead and buried, but NNPCL’s latest financial statements revealed ₦7.1 trillion was quietly spent as an "energy security expense". Meanwhile, citizens are paying over ₦1,200 at the pump. The opacity in our public finance architecture is exactly why public trust has completely evaporated
Can u see they changed the name to energy security expense Hahahaha
It is subsidy ooo
Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II
Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria
Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.
Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.
Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”
Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.
We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.
We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.
State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.
We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.
A NEW Nigeria is POssible. -PO
