We are at Vatican City.

Our boys and their teachers are having a great experience here.

Any child or teacher, regardless of background, nationality or tribe, can experience this if they win in any category of the South East Maths Olympiad 2027.

David Umahi and Nyesom Wike should be the ones that should worry the most in the event that Tinubu does not return.

Because they are obviously the two Southerners that the government of Tinubu has benefited the most as Ministers.

While Nyesom Wike's administration as FCT Minister was removed from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), allowing him to prepare budgets and spend money on contracts without much restrictions.

David Umahi on the other hand was allowed to award the Coastal Highway contract that costs the nation an estimated cost of 7.5 billion naira per kilometer without going through an open competitive bidding process.

If President Tinubu does not return, they will be the ones that should worry the most.

Because beyond the fear of losing their juicy positions, they will also have to face the scrutiny of the next administration over how public funds have been spent so far.

That is why I believe that the prayer they say every morning after waking up is for Tinubu to return as President.

One of David Umahi's biggest wishes seems to be for Tinubu to send him as his representative to debate Peter Obi during the 2027 presidential debate.

That is probably why he keeps reminding Tinubu that he was a good debater back in his secondary school days.

Because why would you be drawing the attention of a minister of works to the impassable state of Federal roads in some parts of the country, and he is asking for a debate?

Once you challenge Umahi over the poor state of Federal roads that urgently need attention, instead of responding to the issues you raised, he either reminds you that he is a Professor in practice or throws a debate challenge your way.

At that point, you begin to wonder whether you are asking for better roads or applying for a debating competition.

If David Umahi truly loves debates this much, then why didn't he purchase a presidential nomination form?

That would have opened the road to multiple presidential debates ahead of the 2027 election, giving him every opportunity to display the debating skills he so proudly talks about.

For now, he should focus more on delivery as the administration is coming to a close.

Because many Nigerians would rather see smooth federal roads than hear another invitation to a debate.

Every developed nation first became an education superpower before becoming an economic superpower.

Education is not another sector.

Education is the operating system of a nation.

Everything else runs on it.

Nigeria resembles the late Roman Republic not because it is about to become an empire, but because prolonged governance failures have weakened public institutions, including security institutions, causing citizens to lose confidence in the state's ability to provide order and...

This was exactly how Peter Obi leased heavy tractors out to my local community in Anambra state to supposedly modernize farming and improve our agricultural outputs.

The entire project rapidly turned into an absolute disaster, and this is not a baseless political rumor because I personally worked on the project, I sweated in those fields, and I physically followed the tractors to the farmlands to till the wet rice fields in my village. There were grueling days we even spent 2- full days stranded deep in the bush because the tractor completely broke down. It's either the hydraulic systems failed, or the engine stalled, and we always have to desperately source for replacement parts at the Onitsha market, while simultaneously hunting for the rare skilled mechanics required to get the massive machine to work again. Both of which were technically impossible to handle even in a single day.

The tractors broke down not because they were of low quality or that the engines were weak, but simply because the rural roads are completely terrible, the regional infrastructure is practically nonexistent, and the state abandoned the fundamental engineering required to sustain heavy machinery.
The farmlands are not planned, the topography is completely chaotic, and some of the unpaved roads leading directly to the rice fields are absolute death traps that can violently chain your tractor to the thick mud, paralyze your tires, and you will eventually need another heavy tractor just to come and drag you out.
I personally remember aggressively using a crude cutlass to hack down soft dwarf trees, to manually clear thick bushes out of sight, and to physically clear the blocked path just for our so-called modern tractor to pass through.

The absolute worst thing in all of this is not even the brutal suffering and shege we saw in the bush. It was the horrific reality that after all of these backbreaking efforts, after burning our physical energy to support a state project, nobody paid us one single penny. The state government was owing me about 15,000 naira in 2014, which was exactly the final year of Peter Obi's term as governor. Factoring in our severe inflation, that stolen amount is equivalent to about 90,000 naira today. Back then, there were exhausted tractor drivers that were owed more than 70,000 naira. Mind you, I was not even a driver, I was very young, my daily job was strict monitoring and running endless field errands, and I worked brutally from 6:00 AM to sometimes late into the dark night.

The primary reason for this wicked lack of payments to us poor workers is not because Peter Obi did not legally release the project funds. We actually wrote a formal letter of complaint directly to his executive office in Awka, they officially reviewed our claims, and they confirmed that the funds were indeed fully disbursed. But the corrupt higher officials, the greedy local politicians, and the ruthless bureaucratic middlemen that the tractors were officially entrusted to completely ate all the money, they pocketed the labor wages, and they looted the treasury dry simply because they saw the governor was just leaving office and they knew absolutely no one would hold them accountable.

Willie Obiano eventually came into power, he immediately found out that maintaining and subsidizing those abandoned tractors was a financial nightmare, he looked at the sheer logistical rot, and he officially scrapped the entire project altogether, and that was the pathetic end of the heavily advertised sweet agricultural revolution.

Peter Obi also built the massive Coscharis rice mill in my local government area. It was a very massive modern rice mill that expertly refines raw rice, automatically removes the crude husks, thoroughly polishes the local grains, aggressively bags them for commercial mass distribution. It was supposed to ultimately scales our local production to compete on the global market. When I drove home just last year, that highly praised facility was absolutely no longer functional, and even as far back as five years ago, it was completely dead.
The reason for failure is lack of institutional infrastructure to support the project, no reliable electricity from the national grid, the commercial diesel desperately needed to run the massive generators is astronomically expensive, the total lack of skilled industrial mechanics meant that sometimes the factory would be completely grounded for weeks over minor faults, and the frustrated local farmers simply moved on and abandon the rotting mega-facility, and went back to using their own small-scale private rice mills to survive.

I am not even going to talk about the heavily publicized laptops he distributed to public schools, the cosmetic classroom renovations, or the other temporary projects he undertook to subsidize chemicals for local farmers, because they all met the exact same tragic fate, they lacked structural sustainability, and they pretty much completely collapsed the moment he stepped out of office.

This is exactly why I laugh mockingly when incredibly naive people blindly attack me for criticizing Peter Obi on this platform. They have absolutely no idea that I have intimately witnessed his governance firsthand, I have felt the painful sting of his administrative blind spots, and I know exactly how his policies crumble under the weight of reality. This is exactly why I aggressively fight for absolute institutional change, for the total dismantling of the corrupt bureaucratic machinery, and for the radical restructuring of the state itself, rather than merely begging for a cosmetic change in the face of the elite man occupying Aso Rock. We are absolutely never going to simply vote our way out of this catastrophic, systemic state failure.

In my father's house, the four houses surrounding our compound are all Muslims. I mean serious Muslims who take their religion seriously. They were very good neighbours nevertheless and we lived peacefully until something happened.
All four of them used to bring Salah meat consistently until I read a Quran translated into English, and what I discovered will shock you. 1/2

Sometimes greed could blind reasoning in such a way that it comes back at you in a manner you least expected.

One of the reasons Abubakar Malami is not a governor today is because he became a product of greed.

In 2022, when Nigerians were preparing for the 2023 elections, Malami was the Attorney General of the Federation. He influenced Muhammadu Buhari to sign the 2022 Electoral Act on February 25th just because he believed that he and members of his cabal who were loyal to the President had successfully influenced some of the provisions of the Act in a way that would eventually trap those they did not want to emerge victorious in the 2023 elections.

But unfortunately for him and many others, the 9th National Assembly led by Ahmed Lawan had other plans and other scores to settle with people they did not want to contest as well. So, they quietly inserted Section 84(12) of the 2022 Electoral Act, a provision that required every political appointee to resign from office before contesting an election.

That very provision later came back to haunt Malami in a way he never imagined.

Desperate to contest for the position of Governor of Kebbi State while still retaining the enormous power and influence that came with being Attorney General of the Federation, Malami pushed Buhari to institute an action against the National Assembly, seeking to have the provision struck down.

Unfortunately for him, the Supreme Court rejected the argument.

The apex court made it clear that it could not have been the intention of the framers of the Constitution for a President to come before the court to challenge a law that he personally signed into existence.

The court pointed out that Section 58(4) of the Constitution had already given the President the power to withhold assent to any bill he disagreed with. Having failed to exercise that constitutional right at the appropriate time, he could not later seek refuge in the courts to challenge the same law.

That was how Malami lost the opportunity to contest the Kebbi State gubernatorial primaries and, ultimately, the main election. He was simply too afraid to resign from his juicy position without any guarantee that he would eventually win the governorship ticket or the election itself.

Today, that case remains a reference point in Nigerian electoral jurisprudence and is cited as Muhammadu Buhari & Anor v. The Senate & Ors.

Interestingly, that is exactly what is playing out with the amendment of the 2026 Electoral Act today. Some of the very provisions that were celebrated and pushed into law are already turning around to haunt those who engineered and supported them.

The lesson is simple. Once greed takes control, you will hardly be fair to anyone. But more importantly, the greatest victim of your greed will often be yourself.
