@Harckhan@AndyjnrUmaru Abobi na which part of Naija dey do this lie wey you spit? For the death of youth, prematurely, in this manner they died?? That is never in Nigeria. Fanfare burial are for those that died at old age, or died naturally, not by accident or any form deemed prematurely, and not youth
@Trends4Naija@JosephM_pundit Even in 2011, that's 13yrs ago. That means Boniface should be 10 yrs by then and makes his claim correct. That sanwo guy dey ment, chasing elon musk's $
On this International Literacy Day, I join the global community to remind us of the importance of education, which I have consistently maintained, is the most effective tool for development in any nation.
For us in Nigeria, I have consistently argued that education is the greatest investment the government can make for the development of our Nigerian society. The obvious lack of commitment to educational growth in the country has continued to unleash many dire consequences on the nation. As I have always said, the society we abuse today will take its revenge on us tomorrow.
We cannot have an army of over 18 million out-of-school children roaming the streets and not be worried about crime and insecurity in the nation.
Even with our about 62% literacy rate as claimed by the government, we still significantly fall below the 87% global average.
This, therefore, is a poignant reminder of the urgent need to prioritise investment in education, especially at the basic level.
For a country with about 81,520 schools at the primary level and 23,550 schools at the secondary level, the N251.47 billion budgeted for Universal Basic Education remains low.
Let me, once again, cite a scenario I had earlier painted before. Imagine using N160 million to buy vehicles for the legislators, the total of which came to about N60 billion. Local Car manufacturers, Innoson would have sold the same vehicles with about a 50% discount, saving us 50% of that cost, which would be about N30 billion and above all, transacting with INNOSON would not have involved foreign currency.
At the N10 million cost of building 5 classroom blocks in a primary school for basic education, the saved amount would have given us 3000 structures which will go a long way in reducing the number of our children without classrooms and currently learning under the trees. This would have helped us to drastically reduce the number of out-of-school children who are roaming the streets today.
With the ongoing discussions about the minimum age requirement for admission into universities, I do not wish to argue for or against it. I am more particularly concerned with aggressively cutting down the cost of governance and channelling the resources into the critical areas of education, and health and pulling people out of poverty.
I encourage us, the political leaders, to prioritise investment in education for our collective progress.

Yesterday, I had the honour and privilege of joining other renowned guests, young artists, speakers, and change agents across the African continent and beyond to witness the incredible work the Rwandan-born British @SherrieSilver is doing through her Foundation, Sherrie Silver Foundation.
Through entertainment, choreography, dance, and music, Sherrie's passion and dedication to the transformative power of education and healthcare and her work in lifting people out of poverty deeply resonates with me.
For me, Africa is not just a continent of challenges; it is a continent of limitless possibilities and opportunities, if we can unleash the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of our youth.
I extend my deepest gratitude to my dear little sister, Sherrie Silver, for her relentless efforts in living a life of impact and service to humanity. Her work is a source of encouragement to me as a political leader striving for a new Africa, especially in New Nigeria that is possible, and I assure her of my unwavering support. -PO
In pursuit of my desires and soul-searching for solutions for our country’s and continental challenges, I was in Kigali, Rwanda , over the weekend. I had several meetings, planned and some sudden with notable people in the development sector, and discussed a range of issues, especially from personal to sports and food insecurity.
Most of the comments, I had resonated well with belief for example, whenever I talk about productivity, I maintain that our productivity is low and my emphasis remains on our country moving from consumption to production.
The Former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Hailemariam Desalegn @HMDessalegn shared that in their dealings with the Chinese, they found that the Chinese produce 6-7 times what the Ethiopians can produce, and they decided to do something about it.
Today, he recounted: "I can comfortably say that the average Ethiopian produces 60-70% of what the Chinese can do."
At the height of my meetings, and engagements was a gracious opportunity to meet with the legendary Rwanda President @PaulKagame, with whom I had very useful discussions on things that resonate with me every day, especially what is required for Africa to move forward.
He remains committed to the management of scarce resources and serving the people faithfully, which resonates with me deeply.
Finally, I spoke at the Sherrie Silver Foundation's "The Silver Gala". While looking around the hall, I saw a continent on the rise if only we could have the right Leadership and invest in the entrepreneurial, innovative energy of our youths.
Overall, my experience in Kigali have reinforced my belief that the new Nigeria is possible and that Africa, the continent, is on the rise and unstoppable. -PO
