My Stance on Road Development
There is a pertinent reason I have consistently advocated that we should refrain from initiating new road construction projects until we have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network. Instead of undertaking new ventures and dualization projects that offer marginal benefits, our primary focus ought to be on repairing the critical roads already in place.
Consider, for instance, the Asaba–Benin Road. This thoroughfare is a vital artery within Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. Travellers traversing from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Cross River, Abia, Enugu, and portions of Benue and Kogi States to Lagos are compelled to utilise this route.
Despite its significance, substantial sections of this road are in a lamentable condition. It has become a major impediment, precipitating persistent traffic congestion and inflicting undue hardship on travellers, businesses, and transport operators.
Regrettably, this situation is not unique; it reflects the reality on many of our busiest national highways.
Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention.
Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
They didn’t care one bit about NDC until Peter Obi Joined 🤦🏿♂️!!
A fool went on TV to try to talk down and Peter Obi names on his Certificate’s ! Somebody’s father!!
You cannot be in office for years and none of your members can brag about your achievements. Instead They’re not campaigning on what you have done but they’re so focused on fighting a man that just means well for the country! It’s Madness!
Anybody supporting APC is useless and cursed for Life. It’s not Normal.
Igbos never wanted to dominate anyone. If Igbos wanted to dominate South South, they would have done that successfully because they are many, by now I will be speaking Igbo. The tribe that want to dominate are Fulani and Yorubas. Yorubas are pretentious people

I just got information that Nigeria has the opportunity to appeal its position at the International Maths Olympiad. This year’s final will be held in Shanghai, China, from July 10th to 21st.
If they succeed, they can participate again starting in 2027. They must commit to funding their students for at least the next 5 years.
The last time Nigeria participated was in 2019. This is the most prestigious academic competition in the world, and we have denied our children this privilege for so many years.
The Ministry of Education, through the National Mathematical Centre, should do the needful now.
Engaging Tomorrow’s Leaders at Madonna University
Yesterday, I continued my engagement with future leaders in the country. I was at Madonna University, Okija Campus, where I had the privilege of interacting with students at the NextGen Mentorship & Leadership Initiative on the theme: “Beyond Now: Raising the Next Generation of Leaders.”
The session was highly engaging, with students asking thoughtful and probing questions. Their concerns reflected the frustration of many young Nigerians who feel constrained by poor governance and widespread corruption, which have denied them opportunities to realise their full potential. However, I was equally encouraged by their optimism and determination to be part of the solution.
I reminded them that leadership is the greatest determinant of a nation’s progress. A true leader must possess the character, competence, capacity, and compassion to make sacrifices for the good of the people. Nigeria’s future depends on leaders committed to safeguarding lives, investing in education, creating opportunities, and building effective institutions.
I encouraged the students to take their education seriously, to prepare themselves for leadership, and to see themselves not merely as spectators but as agents of change. Through active participation in the democratic process, they have the power to enthrone leaders with integrity and the capacity to propel our nation forward.
As part of my ongoing commitment to education, I presented a cheque of ₦15 million to the university to support its educational mission. Investing in education remains one of the most effective ways to develop the human capital necessary for national progress.
Together, by raising a new generation of responsible and visionary leaders, we can build the Nigeria of our dreams that is POssible. -PO

A good day to remind everyone that what I’m wearing on my head is called Ichafu.
Ichafu is the Igbo name for headwrap, and this style of headscarf originated in Igboland.
Senator Remi Tinubu should first set up Corn, Akara and Kuli Kuli business for some members of her family and the APC women leaders.
It will encourage other Nigerians to venture into the same business.
Since she believes that with such ventures, one can make enough money to feed, pay house rent, pay school fees and solve other basic needs.
A family where the husband and wife are wicked and greedy shouldn’t be allowed close to the presidency of a country.
Bola Tinubu and Remi Tinubu are very vicious and extremely dangerous.
The unborn generation of Nigerians will not forgive the present generation for allowing wicked people to hold this country down.
