@winexviv @Sterling_Bankng we could not take this test, because I don't think the site was ready for the number of children waiting to take the test. It's sad

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

@winexviv Hi Test duration elapsed and all the children I have rallied round raising their hopes are sad now because they could not take the test after sitting in front of their laptop for an hour waiting for the countdown

Ask yourself this question

Why hasn't the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria giving any audience to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) since all these crisis began or felt a need to meet them?

[OjiUgo™️🍫👁️‍🗨️ @OjiUgo_nwa]

The Catholic Diocese of Umuahia has donated street sweeping vehicles to Abia State government, they commended Governor Alex Otti for his efforts in keeping Abia clean.

I love this 🔥

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

I still believe in what my eyes do not yet see. Keep going dreamer❤️

These are the issues, this is why i have stayed on @aedcelectricity matter since I got to this estate they are getting away with so much, I have written an email to @NERCNG and written here again

No excuses will be allowed #FixtheLight or change Efab to Band D or E sef

[Chijioke 🇳🇬 @datobioma]

@AirtelNigeria I heard you recently put a Fiber Optics coverage of Efab Lokogoma. I implore you to join our call to #FixtheLight at Efab Lokogoma because if @aedcelectricity continues to withhold light against the order. You will have record low subscribers and lose massively.

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

@aedcelectricity and @NERCNG you are stealing from Nigerians, you are part of our major problem

[Chijioke 🇳🇬 @datobioma]

@NERCNG 3/ EFAB Lokogoma does not meet the service threshold for Band B. In over three weeks, the estate has not enjoyed an average of six hours of daily supply, even accounting for grid collapses. #FixtheLight

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

@netanyahu I would like to come study in Israel (security intelligence)

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

@MyFCMB you guys I don't understand. How do you keep deducting money with proper details and your staff don't know what it is meant for. Can someone explain please

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

When we push people of character into leadership, we set a better example for the next generation.
Power fades. Positions expire. But character lives on. #PoliticsOfCharacter #BetterAfricaa

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

I’ve been watching a series on Netflix called Parenthood, and one storyline struck me deeply.

Kristina Braverman, a full-time mum, decided to run for mayor against her former boss, Bob Little.
(Please follow the story below) #PoliticsOfCharacter #BetterAfrica

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

And remember this—none of us wants our children to grow up thinking that dirty politics, lies, and sabotage are the standard. We want to raise children who can look up to leaders of honour, people we are proud to point at and say: “Yes, that’s the kind of leader worth following.”

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

If you don’t, support them with your words and find opportunities for them. Push them to the highest levels, because it is leaders like this that will make Africa a better place for us and for our children’s children.

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

And here’s the challenge for us: let’s identify such people among us and push them into governance and leadership positions. If you have the capacity, support them with resources.

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

But once mud is thrown, even if you win, the stain never really leaves. Kristina’s example shows us another way, leadership built on trust, honour, and humanity.
We need more leaders like Kristina, who would rather lose with dignity than win by destroying someone else’s life.

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

That moment reminded me of a truth we often forget in real-life politics: character is bigger than position. Holding office isn’t what defines a true leader, how you handle the road to that office does.
Sadly, many politicians believe the only way up is by pulling others down.

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

She chose not to compromise her values, even if it meant losing votes. In the end, Bob Little won by a narrow margin. Yet Kristina walked away with something far greater: her integrity intact. She didn’t lose her soul. She didn’t lose her sleep.

[Olivedegreat @OLIVESADIQ]

Her campaign manager urged her to retaliate with her own damaging information about him, information that could have destroyed his reputation. Even her family and the victim involved felt it was justified.

But Kristina refused to play dirty.
