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.

Yesterday, I had the honour of hosting my brother and partner, His Excellency Peter Obi, at my residence in Abuja.
I warmly welcomed him back from his highly productive international trip, and we engaged in frank and productive discussions on key partisan and national issues.
Our party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), remains united. As leaders, we must continue to demonstrate maturity by making the necessary sacrifices and tolerating our differences in pursuit of our shared goal.
We are resolute in this mission, and together, we shall ensure that Nigeria is OK. - RMK
Dear children, happy celebrations!
As we honour you today, I reflect on the incredible talent, energy, and resilience you possess. You are not only the future of our nation but also its vibrant pulse in the present. Each time I look into the eyes of a child in Nigeria—whether in a classroom, a displaced persons' camp in Benue, or on the streets of Lagos—I see unparalleled potential. I envision future scientists, tech visionaries, leaders, and builders who can stand toe-to-toe with the world’s best if they have access to the right resources.
The true measure of a nation's leadership lies in how it cares for its youngest members. It is unacceptable that countless children remain out of school, and that essential healthcare and safety are seen as privileges instead of rights. To transform Nigeria from a nation of consumption to one of production, we must begin by investing significantly in you.
Leaders, parents, and educators, we must acknowledge that the best investment a nation can make is in developing its human capital, particularly through foundational education and healthcare. Failing to invest in our children today is akin to borrowing from our future.
To you, my dear children:
• Always keep dreaming: Your current situation does not limit your potential.
• Remain curious: Engage in reading, learning, and adopting new technologies. The world is evolving rapidly, and you have the intellect to lead that evolution.
• Take pride in your identity: As Nigerians, you embody resilience, brilliance, and the promise of greatness.
We will continue our efforts to cultivate a new Nigeria—one where your dreams are recognised, schools are safe, and your future is assured.
Blessings to all, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO
WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF STARTING OVER !
WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF LOOSING EITHER
DONT THREATEN US WITH POLITICAL IRRELEVANCE, WE ARE NOT POLITICIANS
DONT ALSO TRY THE SOUTH EAST PRESIDENCY BALCKMAIL. WE DONT CARE !
WHAT WE DO CARE ABOUT IS A PETER OBI PRESIDENCY
PETER OBI OR NOTHING!
In continuation of my extensive consultations with Nigerian leaders, today, notable South East Leaders, and I visited our respected former President Goodluck Jonathan @GEJonathan on a consultation regarding the 2027 general elections and, more importantly, the future of our dear nation.
Our discussions were frank, thoughtful, and anchored on the urgent need to reposition Nigeria on the path of unity, security, stability, productivity, and inclusive governance. At a time when our nation continues to grapple with economic hardship, rising insecurity, and deepening social divisions, it has become imperative that Leaders across regions come together to reflect, consult, and act in the overall interest of the Nigerian people.
Nigeria today requires leadership that is guided not by personal ambition, but by competence, character, capacity, and compassion. The kind of leadership that understands that governance is not about sharing what is left, but about creating what is needed. We must move from a consumption-driven nation to a production-driven one, where our vast human and natural resources are effectively harnessed for the common good.
The 2027 elections must therefore not just be seen as another political exercise, but as a critical opportunity to reset the trajectory of our country. It must be about the Nigerian child who deserves quality education, the struggling entrepreneur who needs a conducive environment to thrive, and the millions of citizens who simply desire a secure and functional nation.
I remain convinced that through sincere dialogue, unity of purpose, and a firm commitment to doing what is right, Nigeria can and will rise again.

you cannot control the words they throw
or the way they try to shape your name
like smoke that never learns to stay still
let it pass through you without landing
their voices may echo like broken glass
sharp but not yours to hold forever
you decide what becomes your weight
and what dissolves into distance
reaction is the place where power lives
not in the storm but in your response
you are not required to absorb everything
said in your direction like truth
you can step back without becoming cold
you can choose silence without losing yourself
i write for those who learn to breathe
between what hurts and what they leave
Morning flights are my favourite, and rows 1-3 are a must for me.
So two weeks ago, I am on a flight to Lagos from Abuja, I am arranging my bags with my headphones on when I start hearing people go "your excellency sir", I turn around and it's my president sitting next to me!!!
I Am Not Here to Be Your Friend. I Am Here to Wake You Up.
I don’t want popularity. I don’t want your friendship. I want you to stop waiting for someone else to fix Nigeria.
I have no newspaper. No political machinery. No oil billions. I’m one man in Stockholm with books, research, and receipts.
But here’s what I know: when the lights go out in Nigeria, they go out in all our homes — not Aso Rock, which now runs on solar. When I’m sick, I go to a Nigerian hospital. I don’t fly to Paris.
My father built his wealth through hard work, the law, and patriotism. He showed it could be done without stealing from the people. I inherited his standard, not his money.
I am Yoruba. I am Kalabari. I am Nigerian. And nothing I have ever published is fiction.
Forward my articles. Share them. They took time, research, and courage — and they need to reach more than a few thousand people.
God save Nigeria — because its people must now save themselves.
