The @pmnewsnigeria , I see that your desperation and those of the @officialABAT’s @NGRPresident’s @NigeriaGov and their officials like @fkeyamo as well as their ruling party @OfficialAPCNg officials like @Morka2Felix, for Oby Ezekwesili’s praise is definitely real.
That’s why 24 hours later, you have failed to delete your manufactured quote-headline “Tinubu has achieved what many doubted in Nigeria’s economy” that you fraudulently attributed to me.
You deliberately lied to the public by crafting and spreading a sentence I never uttered in any form.
And you have persisted in keeping it up on all your social media handles to deceive the public.
Your @pmnewsnigeria exemplifies those among Nigerian journalists and media houses that have willingly and shamelessly sold themselves and their profession to our country’s vile politicians who are destroying the country and people.
I won’t even waste my time suing your rag-sheet @pmnewsnigeria because after all, like-media-like-judiciary in the hands of corrupt politicians who have infected both institutions to a metathesized state with their cancer of corruption. So, no need.
But I know for sure that they will get their comeuppance. Trust me.
When citizens are ready for Good Governance, we will all collectively arise and fight to reclaim our Land and all broken institutions from political hyaenas and their allies. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
I frankly did not realize that so much celebration was going on among the officials of @NigeriaGov@OfficialAPCNg and their allies pushing a narrative that “Oby Ezekwesili has agreed that @officialABAT is doing wonderfully on the economy”. The @OfficialAPCNg spokesman @Morka2Felix was triumphantly bursting through the screens on @seunokin’s @channelstv Politics Today program distorting what I said during my interview with @KayodeAkintemi of @NewsCentralTV.
Like, really? I am actually bemused by it all.😃
To keep public discourse accurate, I will over the next few days serialize the transcript of the interview which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Here we go!
Interviewer: It’s good to have you back here. So on that note, let’s begin with the state of the nation. More than three years into President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. How would you assess the state of the nation? It’s gonna be a long thing because we’re discussing the state of the nation but if you were to summarize the state of the nation today in as few words as possible, where would you say we are?
Dr. Ezekwesili:
I think you would basically take the most important indicator that tells you where society is headed, and that is what’s the dignity or the lack of it of life? What’s the state of the dignity of life? Every other thing hangs on people being alive. And when people are not alive, then you can’t even talk about, you wouldn’t care about education or health or the economy. You need people to be alive.
And what we have seen has been a degradation of that dignity of life quotient. Because when you look at the kind of serial abuse of life whether in terms of the killings, mass killings that have happened in the country between 2023 and 2026 or the amount of kidnaps especially of children, you would see that you have sufficient data on the basis of which to say that the already bad situation got worse over this period of 2023 to date.
You take a typical indicator that is a catch‑all for what I’m saying about the state of insecurity that has declined the quotient of dignity of life. It would be the Global Terrorism Ranking. So Nigeria was at around 6th sixth most terrorised country. By the last ranking it had become the 4th fourth most terrorised country. Come on. In the world. That’s such an indicator that tells you where things are.
And so when we then look at all the other aspects that have to do with quality of institutions, Nigeria degenerated. When you look at the state of the economy especially in terms of the cost of living index, especially for the poor, Nigeria deteriorated.
When you look at what has happened with poverty, it’s about 145 million Nigerians now trapped in poverty, from a number that was about 133 million as of the time that the previous administration which is this government did tell us that they continue, that it is a continuation. Even if they didn’t tell us we do know that this particular, the actors in this administration were praising the previous administration and lauding the policies of that administration so, and it’s the same party. So it’s a knock‑on effect of basically the same kind of people thinking of economic management maybe slightly differently because what you can say about this particular one is that some market principles have entered into the equation.
But the thing to ask is, while you can say macroeconomic stability is gradually becoming a thing, it is insufficient a thing to address the poverty that you see. And when you start looking at this kind of massive state of poverty, it means that quality of life has degraded especially for the ones who are poor and vulnerable.
So in all, I am not one that would score, because I’m driven by evidence not by any other thing. So when we look at the indicators your summary is that we’ve been the worse for it than anything anyone can say. ……../1

"May 1948. Haifa.
Golda Meir sat in a car leaving the city in darkness, wrapped in the wide dark robes of a Muslim woman. She did not speak Arabic. Her companion, Ezra Danin, a Haganah intelligence expert who did, was dressed as an Arab man. Together they posed as a married couple, moving through checkpoints into Transjordan, heading toward a secret meeting in Amman with King Abdullah I.
The windows of a second car had been covered with heavy black fabric so she could not be identified. The king had refused to come to the border. He had refused to alert his Arab Legion that Jewish guests were coming. If anything went wrong, she was on her own. C*pture meant interrogation. The implications beyond that were clear.
She went anyway.
This was not their first meeting. In November 1947, she had traveled to Naharayim on the banks of the Jordan River for a clandestine meeting with Abdullah, no disguise required that time. At that meeting, Abdullah had given his word. If the United Nations voted to partition Palestine, he would not att*ck the Jewish state. He promised.
Six months later, word reached the Jewish leadership that Abdullah had joined the Arab League and was preparing to march.
On May 11, 1948, four days before Israel would declare independence, Golda Meir traveled to Amman in secret to ask him directly. Would he keep his promise?
She found a different man from the one she had met in November. Pale, tense, and depressed. He explained that he had spoken to her as a man alone. Now he was """"one of five,"""" bound to Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and Iraq in a coalition he could no longer break from.
He asked her to accept a proposal: Palestine would not become a Jewish state. Jews would receive autonomy within a unified Jordan and after a year the whole territory would be merged under his rule with Jewish representation in his parliament.
She refused immediately.
He asked why the Jews were in such haste to declare a state. She told him they had been waiting two thousand years. He told her the Arabs could not wait longer. She told him that if he turned his back on his promise, w*r was inevitable because the Jews would resist.
The meeting ended. The w*r came anyway, five days later, on the morning after Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948.
But Golda Meir had already been shaping that moment for months.
In January 1948, with the pre-state leadership desperately short of funds and w*r visibly approaching, she had been sent to the United States to raise money. The treasurer of the Jewish Agency believed they might collect seven or eight million dollars if they were fortunate. Meir aimed for twenty-five million.
She spoke at the General Assembly of Jewish Federations in Chicago, a speech she later described as unscheduled, unrehearsed, and unannounced, and the response was unlike anything the room had experienced. She raised twice the requested amount in that tour alone, ultimately bringing back more than thirty million dollars.
After independence was declared she returned to the United States on a second fundraising mission and raised approximately fifty million dollars more. In total, her two tours brought in around ninety million dollars, roughly a third of the entire cost of Israel's W*r of Independence.
David Ben-Gurion, who would become Israel's first Prime Minister, wrote in his diary: """"Someday when history will be written, it will be said that there was a Jewish woman who got the money which made the state possible."
On May 14, 1948, Golda Meir stood in a room in Tel Aviv and signed her name to Israel's Declaration of Independence. She was one of two women among the signatories. She later recalled: """"When I studied American history as a schoolgirl and I read about those who signed the Declaration of Independence, I couldn't imagine these were real people doing something real. And there I was sitting down and signing a declaration of establishment. She wept.
The decades that followed built one of the most consequential political careers of the twentieth century. She served as Israel's first Ambassador to the Soviet Union, as Minister of Labor overseeing the construction of 200,000 apartments, and then as Foreign Minister for a decade. In 1969, at age seventy, she became Prime Minister.
She was also, by then, secretly fghting cncer, diagnosed in the mid-1960s with a lymphatic condition she kept entirely hidden. She governed Israel and managed international crises while battling a terminal illness she had decided no one needed to know about. The country's needs, she had concluded, were larger than her own.
The wr she had spent her life trying to prevent came anyway in a different form on a different day. On October 6, 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a coordinated surprise attck on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The intelligence failure was catastrophic. In the first hours, Meir made decisions her military commanders later credited with preventing total disaster: authorizing the mobilization of reserves against cautious advice and refusing to collapse under the weight of what was happening.
Israel survved. But the political aftermath was merciless. In April 1974, Golda Meir resigned, not because she was found personally responsible, but because she understood that democratic leadership sometimes requires absorbing institutional failure regardless of individual blme.
She ded on December 8, 1978, in Jerusalem, at the age of eighty, survved by her children, grandchildren, and a nation she had helped bring into existence, fund into survval, and govern through its most dngerous years.
She had carried her illness in secret for more than a decade. She had crossed into enemy territory disguised as another person to try to stop a w*r with words. She had raised the money that by any honest accounting made the state possible.
When asked what she thought of being called a great woman, she reportedly said she had worked to be a great leader. The adjective, she suggested, was beside the point.
She was right about the point.
She was both things anyway."

Not once did Lagos State Govt (@followlasg) react to allegations that its contractors serially paid money - mainly tax proceeds - into her account.
Forfeiture of funds by a private citizens without institutional consequence. Who’s fooling who?
They should use their hard earned money to help the poor but her husband can use the money of the poor to buy yatch and presidential jet.

The Anambra Man Who Coordinated The Rescue Of Oyo Pupils And Teachers
By Ken Chukwudi Ralph
Major General Chinedu Ralph Nnebeife is the General Officer Commanding, GOC, 2 Division of the Nigerian Army Ibadan, Oyo State. The Division oversees about 9 Brigades under its jurisdictions and the fine, gentleman and thorough bred officer was the one that coordinated the successful rescue of the 44 Oyo school pupils and their teachers.
Major General CR Nnebeife is from Awka, Anambra State, precisely Umuogbu village. The Major General has always proven himself in assigned roles and responsibilities in his military career with the Nigerian Army, which has seen his steady rise in rank. Currently a two-star General taking the responsibility of a Division with 9 Brigades under his command and the successful rescue of the Oyo School pupils and teachers once again proves his mettle being the Coordinator of the rescue operation.
The Major General during the course of his career also rescued kidnapped victims in Kwara State, in an operation he led as an Officer of the Nigerian Army.
We pray for God's continued guidance, protection and wisdom, as he keeps discharging his constitutional responsibilities as a General in the Nigerian military, including getting higher promotion and responsibilities.
Nnukwu Odogwu Nwa Awka deje!

Dear Alex @winexviv,
Hearty congratulations to all outstanding Nigerian champions who recorded wins in Mathematics and Science as well as you and the entire Educare family at the 2026 Olympiad! This is exactly the kind of excellence Nigeria needs. The laurels achieved by our children are proofs that when we invest in our young minds, they rise to meet the world.
You are building something that truly matters. Keep raising these champions; the nation is watching, and it is proud.
With deep admiration,
Oby🦾🥇🏆😃✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
@Zamani_WLK The claim that Oby Ezekwesili removed history from Nigeria’s curriculum is false.
History was long removed as a stand-alone subject in 1982 when Nigeria embraced the 6-3-3-4 system.
@Zamani_WLK Award-winning ignoramus, Ezekwesili was a minister of the Obasanjo regime while history has already been removed by early to late nineties we were in primary and secondary schools. Ezi
A Message Of Appreciation To My Husband Aliu Osigwe Yesufu. Earlier today my husband once again went above and beyond for me. I took a moment out to appreciate this great human being God created for me to call HUSBAND & MENTOR. ❤️❤️

Earlier today, I had the privilege of visiting Kwali, Abaji, and Gwagwalada Area Councils, where I met with party executives, stakeholders, community leaders, and dedicated supporters who have stood firmly by our mandate for the FCT Senatorial Seat.
The primary purpose of the visit was to sincerely thank and appreciate committed individuals for their unwavering support, loyalty, sacrifices, and dedication throughout the journey.
Recognizing the disappointment and frustration felt by many supporters, party executives, and stakeholders, I used the opportunity to console and encourage them not to allow their anger or disappointment over the unfortunate outcome to weaken their resolve. I emphasized that while individual ambitions may be delayed or denied, the larger struggle for a better Nigeria must remain the ultimate priority.
During the engagements, I called on party members and supporters to remain united, focused, and steadfast in their commitment to the collective vision of building a prosperous, equitable, and secure nation. I urged them to channel their energy positively and reinforce their determination towards the greater national mandate of supporting the emergence of and , whose leadership aspirations represent hope for millions of Nigerians seeking meaningful progress, economic prosperity, and good governance.
The visit was marked by overwhelming displays of love, solidarity, and encouragement from supporters across the three Area Councils. Many stakeholders reaffirmed their confidence and assured us of their continued support and commitment to the broader movement for national transformation.
The interactions served as a powerful reminder that true leadership is not defined by positions held, but by the ability to inspire, mobilize, and remain connected to the people. The enthusiasm and resilience displayed by supporters further strengthened the conviction that our dream of a better Nigeria remains alive and achievable.
Together, we remain committed to the task of restoring hope, strengthening democratic values, and working towards a future where every Nigerian can thrive. The journey continues, and with unity, perseverance, and the collective will of the people, Nigeria's glorious future is within reach. Nigeria will be OK.
