I want to be fair to @PeterPsquare . He is not wrong that French opens doors Igbo does not. He is not wrong that parents get to decide how they raise their own children. But I guess he underestimates the fact that he is not just any parent. P-Square is a name millions of Igbo people grew up admiring, their success made them proud to be who they are. People all over the world sang their songs using Igbo words. So when a voice like that says Igbo is not worth passing on, it does not land like one man’s private choice. It gives permission for a belief a lot of people were already quietly carrying, that English and French, in short anything foreign, sits above Igbo, that their native language is something to graduate out of rather than something to hold onto.

I am not Igbo. I am Swiss. But my husband made it clear from the beginning that our children would speak Igbo, and I have never once seen that as a burden or a complication. Our children speak Swiss German, English, and Igbo at home, German at school, and now French as well, since that is part of their school curriculum too. Five languages, and none of them fighting each other for space. That is the part people forget when they frame this as a choice. Children do not need to pick one language to be strong in. They can navigate several at once, easily.

It is adults who turn language into a competition. Children just absorb what is spoken to them and grow fluent in all of it.

A language is not only a tool for getting ahead. It is also a rooting tool, the place where love, memory, and belonging live. It is the specific way a grandmother scolds you and forgives you in the same breath. It is a joke that only works in the original. Lose the language, and you do not just lose a skill. You lose a room in your own house, one you can still visit as a guest but never quite live in again. That is what worries me most in this conversation. A child who cannot speak their father’s or mother’s language will, at some point, stand in that homeland and feel like a stranger. Not unwelcome, not unloved, just outside something that was supposed to be theirs by birth.

One day, my sons will be handed a kola nut, and in that moment, no one should have to do it for them. They should know how to receive it, how to speak over it, how to break it themselves, not pass it along to someone else because they never learned the words or the meaning behind them. That is such a small moment, and yet it says everything. It is the difference between being someone’s guest and being someone’s own.
So when I hear ��Igbo is useless,” what I actually hear is a wound that has not healed.

From the outside, I have watched how often English or French get treated as the languages worth keeping, while Igbo gets treated as the one you can afford to let go of. That preference did not come from nowhere. It is a colonial hierarchy that convinced generations of people that closeness to their own culture was a limitation rather than a foundation. I don’t say this to shame anyone, least of all a man raising his own family the best way he knows how. I say it because the people who shape how we see ourselves carry a weight beyond their own households, whether they asked for it or not.

My hope is simple. That we stop treating our children’s languages as a competition with only one winner. That we let them have both the world and their roots, and trust that they are capable of holding both without ever having to choose.

I find it strange that every few years, some Africans argue about whether their own native language is “useful.”

A language is not valuable because it gets you a job.

A language is valuable because it carries the memory of a people.

English connects you to the world but your mother tongue connects you to your identity, your history, your grandparents, your culture, and a way of thinking that cannot be fully translated.

The future belongs to people who can preserve who they are while engaging the world.

The real advantage is raising a child who can think, dream, and express themselves fluently in their local language, while also communicating confidently in English and other global languages.

@PeterObi That wisdom part is important, he really needs the wisdom.

[Esther Umoh @EstherUmoh10]

“No politician travels across Nigeria the way I do. While others remain in the comfort of their homes, making accusations and calling names, I am on the ground, engaging with Nigerians and visiting communities many politicians never go to.”

Peter Obi’s words are not just a campaign line; they reflect how he has consistently conducted himself.

Just look at his itinerary over the past week.

He arrived in Abuja from Lagos on Thursday, met with the British High Commissioner, proceeded for a live interview with Seun Okinbaloye, and then travelled to Anambra, where he attended to several engagements before calling it a day.

On Friday, after activities in Awka and Onitsha, he travelled to Enugu, where he met with Nigerians, encouraged them to register and collect their PVCs, and attended other public engagements.

On Saturday, he embarked on another journey, travelling by road from Enugu to Ogoja and Iyala in Cross River State. There, he donated ₦10 million to a maternity hospital, celebrated his birthday at the first Council Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Ogoja, and donated another ₦5 million to support the Church’s school.

His schedule didn’t slow down. From Cross River, he returned to Anambra, travelled onward to Delta State to honour the NDC governorship candidate at his thanksgiving service, then proceeded to Mbaise in Imo State to attend the celebration in honour of Nobel laureate James Robinson, before eventually landing in Lagos.

This is the kind of stamina leadership demands.

Nigeria is too complex, too challenged, and too important to be governed by someone who is absent from the people or disconnected from their realities. The country needs a president with the physical strength to cover every part of Nigeria, the mental capacity to understand its many challenges, and the emotional resilience to connect with its people.

Leadership is not a part-time job. It requires energy, discipline, empathy, and relentless commitment.

If Nigeria is to move from where it is today to where it ought to be, it needs a leader who is willing to do the work, not from the comfort of a “bunker”, but among the people.

This is precisely the tragic reality that W.E.B. Du Bois painfully discovered during the final stages of his intellectual life. The Black individuals who somehow manage to accumulate personal wealth, corporate power, and elite social status do not . . 1/n

One sign of maturity is realizing that not every argument deserves your energy. Some battles are won not by having the last word, but by knowing when to walk away.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I need your honest opinion on this.

I think it's time we introduce the South East STEM Olympiad alongside the South East Maths Olympiad. One registration covers both competitions.

Our children have significant gaps in science, and we need to fix that as soon as possible.

I'm thinking we should split the prize money between Mathematics and Science.

We can hold both competitions on the same day but at different times.

I've been studying several world-class science curricula that are built on higher-order thinking and real-world application. We can develop our own curriculum specifically for the competition and share it with schools across the South East so they can prepare their students effectively.

What do you think?

[Annie Annie @AceOrjih]

@Tallesty_ Nothing at all.

Many things are not okay in this country.
Security is not okay.
Health sector is not okay.
Electricity is not okay.
Cost of living is not okay.
Our roads are not okay.

I just hope that Nigeria will be OK.

Peter Obi emerging as the flag bearer of NDC signals a major moment for Nigerians who are demanding competence, accountability, and people-centered leadership.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.

During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.

I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.

A New Nigeria is POssible. - PO

My account being paused from revenue sharing even when I've not received any shishi is funny.

I've not been active for past few weeks due to some reasons. So, I'm wondering if that could be the reason for pausing my account.
