Next week, I will be taking 3 students and 2 teachers to Rome, Italy, all expenses paid by me.
All visas have been issued and all arrangements have been sorted.
The students will represent Nigeria in the Maths and Science categories of the International STEM Olympiad.
They will compete alongside 154 other countries.
The students who won the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad and the teachers who supported them are going. Both the teachers and the students will experience growth together.
I will continue to push our bright minds to global stages.
In 10 years, I pray you will be alive to see the outcome of our investments in our children today.
Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy
Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.
From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.
It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.
It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.
The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.
Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.
My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.
I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO
If you don’t want Ronaldo in the team help him win the trophy so we retire. If we no win am this year we will be back in 2030 when Portugal is hosting and you will cry again 😂😂😂😂
Ronaldo lack of dictatorship is the reason he hasn’t won the World Cup…..
Choose your team, choose your coach….
Choose everything from top to bottom…
Watch and see yourself win
I must have said this a billion times and I’d never stop saying it…at the end of the day, Cristiano Ronaldo is the one that brought all this nonsense upon himself, allowing players like Thierry Henry and Ibrahimovic that never got to his level talk about him the way they do.
That move out of Real Madrid is the greatest mistake he ever made as a footballer. He was on a crazy high then and allowed his pride get the best of him. Yes, he deserved to be treated better or maybe given a better contract, but leaving wasn’t the solution at all, he then went to a Juventus that had old players that couldn’t compete anymore, then they created a narrative that he ruined Juventus.
Even Lionel Messi said he was shocked Ronaldo left, it’s as if he gave Messi the platform to go ahead and be seen as the better player while he roams about looking for where to find consistency, but like Modric will always say, it’s downwards after Real Madrid.
Mind you, when he left, he and Messi was tied at 5 Ballon D’or each and if he stayed, that was the season he was gonna overtake Messi in the Ballon D’or ranking for the first time in over 8yrs, I’m sure he felt it was already a guarantee, but Papa Perez had other ideas. Perez did what every other president would, he had to fight for his own player to win it, Modric, since Cristiano was no longer a Real Madrid player, Modric was the one Perez was going to put in front.
Cristiano Ronaldo leaving was another reason Zinedine Zidane left, who knows how many more Champions Leagues and Ballon D’or he’d have won if he stayed & the story would be totally different today, but that one decision ruined what was left of his career.
Perfect story, perfect match, score the goals, we do every other work for you. Now the other clubs he went to kept saying his goals were hurting them, even Juve. Pathetic.
That is why I keep saying Vini fans that wants Vini to leave because they think he deserves a better contract does not like Vini, where does he want to go?
Bayern? They have a LW
PSG? They have a LW
The Premier League?
You people don’t like Vini, you actually hate him.
But then, I’m a die hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan
During good and bad times
THAT’S MY GOAT.
Even when he makes stupid mistakes
THAT’S MY GOAT
Even when he’s being human and make wrong decisions, HE REMAINS MY GOAT.
THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT!!!
