Yesterday, at Johns Hopkins University, USA, I honoured the invitation to speak on "Politics and Change in Nigeria" from Professor Peter Lewis, the famous author of "Growing Apart: comparing Indonesia and Nigeria".
In discussing this very critical issue, which directly impacts the direction of a nation, I pointed out that the failure of a nation depends largely on its Political Leadership. Competent, capable and compassionate political leadership, with integrity, will help nations to achieve sustainable growth and development.
In my speech, I tried to assess 3 of our comparable nations - China, Vietnam and Indonesia, from 1990 till date.
In 1990, the year the measurement of the Human Development Index (HDI) was started, these 3 comparable nations, including Nigeria, were all classified under the medium category of the HDI measurement. 35 years later, 3 of these nations have moved up to the High category of HDI while Nigeria has fallen into the low category.
Within the same period of 35 years, from 1990 to 2025, the GDP Per Capita of these comparable nations have all improved. As of 1990, while Nigeria had a GDP per capita of $556, China had $317, Indonesia had $578, and Vietnam had only $99. Nigeria, obviously, had higher GDP per capita than China, while Vietnam had less than one-fifth of Nigeria's per capita. Today, Nigeria's per capita is about one-fifth of Indonesia's ($5000) and Vietnam's (4400) GDP per capita and below one-tenth of China's (1300) GDP per capita.
In the area of poverty, Nigeria with about 50 million poor people, had the least number of people in poverty in 1990 than any of the three countries. While China had about 750 million people living in poverty, Indonesia and Vietnam had 85 million and 60 million poor people, respectively. China alone had about 15 times the number of poor people than Nigeria. Today, however, Nigeria has more poor people than these 3 countries combined.
The question then is, what exactly did these countries do to be able to achieve the desired growth and development? That is where political leadership comes in. These comparable nations, and indeed other progressive nations, unlike Nigeria, have competent leadership with character, capacity and compassion, committed to prioritizing investment in critical areas of developmental measures; Education, Health, and pulling people out of poverty.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Last jamb was a disaster for my village youngsters. Over 70% of them failed jamb and the rest sparely passed. Rather than waiting for the government, we decided to take a different approach. We took the challenge upon ourselves for it not to repeat itself again. Every youngster in my village right now is on an intensive morning and evening drilling for next years Jamb and they undertake CBT once monthly with large pool of 16 years past questions across different subjects. In the CBT we track their performances on different topics and lays more emphasis on their weaknesses across different subject topics. One common thing we noticed is that many of the youngsters are alien to computers and can't even use a mouse nor keyboards. How were they planning to succeed in jamb when they could had probably be using a computer for the first time on Jamb day?
It's an eye opener and our mission is for all of them to score above 250. We will be paying for all their jamb exam fees and are also offering full scholarship to everyone that scores 300 and above.

@iRechargehelp I recharged my meter on the 22nd of March using my card to complete the transaction. I was debited but no token was sent to me. Make una refund my money I swear for una.
PDP decided that the best way to reclaim power was to retain power in the Muslim Fulani North. They wanted to exploit tribalism to gain power.
They chose pragmatism and what was politically expedient.
To counter, APC decided to field Muslim-Muslim ticket and exploit religion.
Not a single blame was reserved for the party leadership who disobeyed the party constitution on zoning.
But Peter Obi and Obidients are to be held responsible for Atiku's misadventure at the polls.
I wonder who you guys will hold responsible for his past 5 failed attempts.
Yeah, you’re right to be acutely disappointed.
Can you convert your anger to wised-up action, by not just voting on Saturday for best Candidates for Governor but also transmitting the result of your own PU to a Citizens-IReV portal?

@inecnigeria it's looks as though a Presiding Officer at the polling unit mentioned below is working overtime to scuttle the efforts of voters
State: Kaduna
Local Government: Chikun
Ward: Kakau
Polling Unit: Buwaya LEA Pry. School
PU: 18-02-03-007
Please retweet this thread
See the face of the Polling Officer, Nigerians of Goodwill insisted on providing him with facilities to aid him work in the dark but he blatantly refused and as we speak he's just sorting votes casted by less than 20% of electorates present at a polling unit with over 1000 voters
