The worst set of Nigerians are not APC supporters but the adults without their PVC, supporting APC is understandable because every society has its Judas. Wishes cannot give us good governance and the only tool we can fight with for now is our PVC.
Get your PVC!

To tell you how lawless this country can become whenever the powerful are involved, remember that it was this same Nigeria where the Court of Appeal sacked MC Oluomo as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), yet he refused to vacate that office for a whole two years.
For two years, MC Oluomo flagrantly disregarded a valid judgment of the Court of Appeal.
Yet, no security agency made any serious effort to enforce the judgment.
Not even the Presidency deemed it necessary to advise him to respect the rule of law.
That is the reality before us.
So, anyone waiting for the Presidency to take decisive action on the issues involving either Femi Gbajabiamila or David Umahi may simply be wasting precious time.
This pattern has always been there for everyone to see.
I am Ekene Aninze Esq.
At barely 39 years old, this great Igbo man made former Eastern Nigeria one of the fastest rising economies in the world. He did it with only one export item: Palm Oil. The secret? Regional autonomy, meritocracy & zero corruption. His name is Dr Michael Okpara.
Yesterday, we were pleased to receive a delegation of investors led by Dr. Oko Jaja, alongside Mr. Dennis Madu Nwakanma, CEO of MD Nwakanma Nigeria Limited. Dr. Jaja briefed me on the significant progress made towards the establishment of a $145 million solar manufacturing plant at Umuelele, Isiala Ngwa South LGA, in partnership with their Chinese counterparts.
I am delighted that the project has reached the Final Investment Decision stage. This is a resounding vote of confidence in the improving business environment we are building in Abia State. It further validates our vision of making our State a preferred destination for local and international investment.
We remain committed to providing every support necessary to ensure businesses thrive and investments are protected. We have done everything required to make the land available for the project, and we stand ready to provide every necessary support to ensure its successful implementation.
Beyond the investment itself, the project promises jobs for our young people, skills development, increased economic activity, and greater prosperity for our State.
I commend Dr. Jaja, the investors, and MD Nwakanma Nigeria Limited for their confidence in Abia. I am particularly encouraged that the first tranche of funding is expected by September 2026, with factory construction projected to commence before the end of the same month.
I am also pleased that young Abians are already being trained in solar installation and related technologies, with plans for selected workers to receive advanced training in China once operations begin.
Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II
Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria
Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.
Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.
Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”
Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.
We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.
We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.
State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.
We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.
A NEW Nigeria is POssible. -PO
While growing up, Ike Nwosu was the governor then, he tries it in Aba and I think he achieved Alot
Work with the governors,our government school needs to be totally free, set up a taskforce, if they see any child wandering around after 8am (during school hours), let the child take them to their homes, arrest their parents or guardian, let them pay a fine.
There are children that their parents/guardian didn't even enroll, arrest those ones too, every child deserves Primary Education...
You can also set out a platform for whistleblowing, if your neighbours children doesn't go to school, blow whistle to the task force agency, they will take it up from there...
Soft landing will never solve this issue because some parents think Education is not important...
I've been thinking about this almost every day.
What would it actually take to ensure every single child in the South East is in school?
I don't mean reducing the number of out-of-school children.
I mean ZERO.
I'm setting myself a target:
Zero out-of-school children in the South East within the next 24 months.
And within 4 years, I want us to drive illiteracy as close to zero as possible.
I know it sounds ambitious.
There are children out of school because of poverty. Some because of culture. Some because of religion. Some because they have to work. Others because there are barriers we've not even identified yet.
But I genuinely believe this is a problem we can solve if we stop treating it as someone else's responsibility.
So I'm asking for your help.
If you had to achieve this, what would you do?
I want practical ideas. Bold ideas. Crazy ideas. Lessons from other countries. Community-based solutions. Technology. Policy. Anything.
I'll read every suggestion.
If we can solve this in the South East, we'll create a blueprint that the rest of Nigeria and maybe even Africa can learn from.
