From the desk of the COS Anambra
PUBLIC APOLOGY AND FULL RETRACTION
My name is Ejike Ofoegbu Experience, the owner and publisher of Igbo Times Magazine and INews.
I wish to offer my deepest and most sincere apology to Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, the Executive Governor of Anambra State, his family, and the general public.
I publicly admit that the stories I published concerning Governor Soludo and his son were completely fake, false, fabricated, and untrue. They did not come from Governor Soludo, his son, his family, or any official representative. They were not based on any verified facts or credible source, and they should never have been presented as news.
The false posts I published included:
* โBreaking News: โI will arrest anyone who calls Ozo my son. He is not my son. I disowned him years ago, and he is no longer a member of the Soludo family.โโ
* โJust In: I Donโt Take Advice From My Father. He Was a Drunkard Who Beat My Mom When I Was Young. His Treatment of My Mother Made Me Decide Never to Take Advice From Him โ โSoludoโs Sonโ Speaks Out.โ
* โBreaking News: โI ordered Ozo from Temu. He is Chinese-made, not my son. Even at the hospital when he was born, I asked the doctor, โI hope you didnโt accidentally exchange my real son.โ Ozo is from Temu,โ Soludo jokingly told reporters.โ
* โBreaking News: โThey should organize a drinking competition between my father and Wike. I just want to see something. Iโm willing to bet my life that my father would win. People donโt understand his drinking capacity.โ โ Ozo.โ
I state clearly and without reservation that every one of the statements above was fake. They should not be regarded as factual reports or genuine quotations. I take full responsibility for publishing them.
I also wish to acknowledge that the false posts listed above were not the only fabricated stories I published about Governor Soludo. Among other posts on Igbo Times Magazine and INews, I also published false and misleading stories involving Governor Soludo and Mr. Peter Obi, including claims that Mr. Peter Obi would defeat Governor Soludo in an election. Those stories were also completely false, were not based on any verified facts, and should never have been published.
I sincerely admit that I published such stories in pursuit of online traffic, audience engagement, and financial gain. I now realize that no amount of money or online attention can justify spreading false information or damaging another personโs reputation. I deeply regret my actions and accept full responsibility for everything I published.
I deeply regret the embarrassment, reputational harm, and misunderstanding these fabricated stories may have caused to Governor Soludo, his family, his associates, and members of the public.
To Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, I respectfully and humbly ask for your forgiveness. I sincerely apologize for my actions and for publishing information that was false.
I also apologize to the people of Anambra State, readers of Igbo Times Magazine and INews, and everyone who may have seen or shared these false publications. I am committed to correcting this mistake and ensuring that such an incident does not happen again.
This statement serves as my full and unconditional retraction of those publications. They were false, fabricated, and should be disregarded in their entirety.
Once again, I sincerely ask Governor Soludo, his family, and the general public to forgive me.
Signed
Ejike Ofoegbu Experience

Peter Obi is telling Chude on his podcast that if H.E Dav Umah wants to debate him, he should first qualify as a presidential candidate first. Funny; the Peter Obi @PeterObi how did he qualify to be a presidential candidate? Did he (Peter Obi) participate in any presidential primaries? In fact has he ever participated in any presidential primaries? Imagine a miracle centre presidential candidate questioning a successful governor and performing minister on qualifications
โWhen Chibok happened, it was the fault of President Jonathan. They went all over the world and asked Jonathan to bring back the children. But when this happened, noโit is the irresponsibility of the state governor and the state government.โ โ Seyi Makinde
Festus Keyamo will be regretting why he released that CCTV footage ๐ญ
In their bid to discredit Peter Obi, they have disgraced themselves, and proven everything Obi said on that Podcast to be true.
APC in severe pain right now. ๐คฃ
Touch not my anointed, and do my prophet no ---
URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!!
This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. Heโs working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State.
Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days.
Yes you read that right.
A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. Thatโs about 10 months work with NO pay.
According to Dr Innocent,
The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay.
They have nobody to speak for them.
They have nobody to fight for them.
They are suffering and dying in silence.
Please if you see this tweet,
Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence,
I donโt know these doctors personally,
But we canโt watch evil and say nothing.
Please donโt let this young doctors suffer in vain, they have families who depend on them for support and survival,
It will only take you 2seconds,
Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence.
Pls share and retweet. Thank you.
Day 2 of asking for your support. ๐๐ฝ

Educare received this special recognition from the International STEM Olympiad, Rome.
We will continue to build the right technology that powers education and also support our children to shine on global stages.
This is Mr. Benjamin, and he is in charge of assessments for the International STEM Olympiad.
He said that this year's exam was the toughest ever, and for our boys to get gold, it means they are far ahead of their peers.
Nigeria has the brightest untapped brains globally.
FESTUS ADEDAYO: "Over the last two decades, Nigeria has birthed scandals of tectonic proportions. A few hours ago, the IMF Resident Representative in Nigeria, Christian Ebeke, said the Tinubu governmentโs about 2% of GDP worth of public spending was not recorded in recent official budgets. This leaves a yawning gap between the governmentโs reported deficit and actual financial needs. This opacity hallmarks the Tinubu government. The Gbajabiamila/Adeyemi inferno appears to be another of the Tinubu administrationโs own sewage-encrusted medallions, begging the question: Is this an ignorant systemic error, or a monumental fraud gone awry?"

Nobody warns you that being a good doctor in Nigeria can make you poor.
The ones who thrive financially often learnt to look away.
The ones who keep looking pay for it. In their pockets and their sleep.

Weโre more than grateful! Thank you sir!
