“The South-East depends so much on Northern Nigeria for little things we can actually do over here. Alex Otti is on the right path.” — Sampson Ukwu

Is the South-East relying too heavily on external supply chains for products and services it can produce locally?

Journalists are civilians protected under international law, yet their work often places them on the frontlines of danger. - Inibehe Effiong

During the session on human rights reporting, Mr. Inibehe (@InibeheEffiong) highlighted that investigative journalism involves navigating complex ethical dilemmas, stating that reporters must balance the duty to protect their sources with the broader responsibility to society. According to him, maintaining clear professional boundaries, exercising ethical judgment, and understanding that the primary role of a journalist is to uncover facts and report responsibly are essential.

Speaking on data journalism, Victor Ejechi (@VictorEjechi) stressed that data is more than just numbers, they tells stories. According to him, data journalism enables reporters to organize, verify, analyze information, uncover patterns, spot trends, and reveal the truths behind what is happening, and in the process revealing what words alone cannot convey.

@UNIONBANK_NG It’s a shame that winners of the Imo Quiz @ 50 can’t access their prize money. After opening accounts at Union Bank (PH Road, Owerri), they’re being blocked from withdrawing due to the union bank so-called maintenance. This is totally unfair!

IMO AT 50: Gov. Hope Uzodimma has flagged off Imo State’s Golden Jubilee celebrations with a thanksgiving service in Owerri, reflecting on the state’s journey, challenges, and renewed stability as it marks 50 years since creation.

@Rebel_Sensei The answer is one state, one people, one agenda. The reason these questions were difficult for most people was because AI could not get them correctly.

[AfiaTvOfficial @AfiaTvOfficial]

Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma has signed the ₦1.44 trillion 2026 Appropriation Bill into law, tagged the “Budget of Economic Breakthrough.” Signed in Orlu, the move underscores decentralised governance and a renewed push for economic growth.

Party lines aside, the region comes first.

Imo Gov. and South East Governors’ Forum Chair, Hope Uzodinma, paid a New Year courtesy visit to Abia Gov. Alex Otti, reaffirming commitment to regional collaboration and development.

#FactFriday: #WorldMalariaDay

🦟 Did you know?
Malaria is one of the world’s deadliest diseases, yet it is entirely preventable and treatable. In 2022 alone, there were an estimated 249 million malaria cases and 608,000 deaths globally. (WHO)

This year’s theme reminds us: Malaria Ends With Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite. ✊🏽

Here’s how we can take action:
✅ Reinvest in prevention: sleep under insecticide-treated nets, eliminate stagnant water, and maintain strong community hygiene practices.
✅ Reimagine a future where innovation, science, and technology drive new solutions to defeat malaria.
✅ Reignite our commitment to early testing, prompt treatment, and strengthening healthcare access for all.

Every effort counts.
Every life matters.
Together, malaria can end with us.
