Today I carried a group of sales girls to INEC office.
Spoke with all their madams and told them the importance of their votes and gave them a date to work on & we were successful today.
Allow that your sales boy/girl to get their PVC.
I don't share stories like this often, but this one is worth your attention.
Meet Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo. First-Class graduate in Mathematics from UNILORIN, CGPA 4.76/5.0. This is no small feat, she put in so much to get here.
She earned a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy. Tuition, accommodation, meals, and stipend all covered. This is the kind of opportunity that can change a family's story for good, for life.
She has already paid her enrollment fee. She used her tutoring savings and borrowed from friends to get this far.
What she needs now is €3,122 (about ₦4.9 million) to cover her visa, flight, document processing, and initial settlement in Italy. The scholarship does not cover this part, and without it, she cannot travel to start what she has already earned.
This is someone who did the work and is one step away from the finish line.
If you can support her, even a small amount helps.
If you cannot, a share costs nothing and might reach someone who can 🙏🏾
“You’re collecting money from people and giving them slips. But we've been here since. You refused to attend to us.
-A lady confronted INEC Staff for collecting money to register only certain people during the Voter’s card registration yesterday.✍️
All the local media outlets that called him DG are now silent.
A fake agency can be situated right inside the federal secretariat yet still receive N1.3bn in state funds.
The level of corruption under the @officialABAT administration makes the odious acts of Buhari’s government look like child’s play.
Where was this helicopter when school children were kidnapped in Oyo State?
Where was it when Nigerian military generals were kidnapped and murdered?
But the moment it’s terrorists, there’s emergency air service. 💔
Reports that Nigeria military helicopter was used to airlift injured terrorists after clash with rival groups.
Once again I will tell you that no one can explain Nigeria to you.
The IMF dropped a bombshell on July 1st and many Nigerians missed it.
It said the government borrowed and spent a huge percentage of money without accounting for it through the budget.
That means, off the books.
Lagos Alpha-beta style.
UN’s Warning on Northern Nigeria’s Food Crisis
The recent report from the UN about the impending food crisis in northern Nigeria is disheartening, more so because it is avoidable. Northern Nigeria is the nation’s food basket, and nothing short of incompetent and irresponsible leadership could have created this tragedy.
In a recent post on my X handle, I urged our national leaders to reassess their priorities and address the dire circumstances facing our citizens. I called on the Federal Government and state leaders to move beyond mere political discourse and make transparent, upfront investments to secure agricultural corridors, support smallholder farmers with accessible resources, and collaborate vigorously with organisations like the World Food Programme (WFP) to bridge funding gaps before this crisis escalates and claims more lives, especially those of children.
A prosperous Nigeria, free from hunger, is achievable, but it requires leadership that prioritises the welfare of its citizens.
I am deeply troubled by the latest report from the UN’s World Food Programme, indicating that northern Nigeria is experiencing its most severe hunger crisis in nearly a decade. Over 17 million people in nine northern states face crisis-level hunger, with more than 35 million Nigerians nationwide at risk during this challenging season.
The fact that over 10,000 residents of Borno State have entered “catastrophic” hunger conditions represents not only immense human suffering but also a profound national failure. Nigeria should not rank among the world’s hungriest nations, given its abundant resources, particularly the vast stretches of fertile, uncultivated land in the North.
This food crisis stems from two critical structural failures: insecurity and farmers’ inability to access their lands. Banditry and insurgency have turned agrarian communities into displacement zones. Until we secure our agricultural areas, we cannot secure our future.
Our global hunger ranking continues to worsen because of our proclivity for adopting superficial measures that do little to boost agricultural productivity or transform rural infrastructure. We need to adopt policies that address the structural barriers to agricultural productivity and transform our land resources into agro-industrial output. We can overcome hunger and poverty if we urgently shift our focus from consumption to production.
A New Nigeria, devoid of hunger and mass poverty - a Nigeria where we transform our arable land into productive acreage - remains attainable, but it demands leadership that prices the lives and livelihoods of the Nigerian people above grandiose road dualisation projects.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, just came out of the International STEM Olympiad finale.
Listen to his experience.
We are rooting for him to win gold.
If 40 pets were missing in another country the President will not sleep, in Nigeria 40 kids are missing, the presidency sees nothing wrong. #politics#nigeria
After series of Fulani Att@cks in Amanze, Imo state, they mobilized youths & chase the fulanis away, then police came and arrested the youths. The entire village are protesting against police & fulanis. We are in solidarity with Amanze people. Police must stop this nonsense.
EFCC just discovered $5 billion, pre-written future election results, ₦1 trillion worth of gold necklaces, and 200 exotic cars during a raid in the Umuahia residence of former Abia State Governor T. A. Orji.
The operation was reportedly carried out after the former governor allegedly failed to honor multiple EFCC invitations for questioning and was said to have gone into hiding for several months.
“Nigerians, wake up‼️ Gbajabiamila na th!ef, @rmed robber. Do you think Tinubu doesn’t know all these things have been going on? He knows & that’s why he’s been collecting loans. It is only @PeterObi & Kwankwaso that can put a stop to all this. For Atiku, what’s happening under Tinubu’s Govt will still happen under Atiku.”
~Lady tells Nigerians to wake up 🆙
How do I tell people that Prince Adeyemi’s case with Gbaja is a tip of the iceberg in our federal budget?
The National commission for the Almajiri and Out of School Children Education situated in Abuja will spend 1,400,000,000 ($1.1m) on “Rehabilitation & Construction of Obasanjo-Itele Road & Idogo Township road” in faraway Ogun state”

Chance Visits to INEC Registration Centres
On my return to Anambra State yesterday, and on my way to attend some scheduled engagements, I made impromptu visits to the INEC voter registration centres at the Civic Centre, Nibo, and Nrijiofor Primary School, Nri.
I was pleased to see Nigerians registering to vote. I took the opportunity to commend those who had turned out and to encourage every eligible citizen to do the same. I reminded them that the journey to good governance does not begin on Election Day; it begins with voter registration. Registering to vote is not just a civic responsibility — it is an investment in the Nigeria we all desire.
I urged everyone who is eligible but has not yet registered to do so without delay. I also appealed to those who have already registered to encourage their family members, friends, neighbours, and colleagues to take advantage of the ongoing exercise before the deadline.
Every registered voter strengthens our democracy and brings us one step closer to building the secure, united, productive, and prosperous Nigeria we all seek.
