Nigerian soldiers are battle ready to tackle American soldiers that want to invade Nigeria to crush terrorists, but same Nigerian soldiers are not battle ready to tackle and crush internal terrorists killing Nigerians and crushing Nigerian soldiers.
Let someone make it make sense.
Today, during the election of a new national leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, I called for a renewed commitment to Igbo unity and the prioritisation of our collective interest above partisan politics and narrow affiliations.
While congratulating Senator John Azuta-Mbata and Chief Emeka Sibeudu on their emergence as President-General and Secretary-General respectively, I emphasised that the socio-political circumstances that led to the formation of Ohanaeze in the 1970s remain as relevant today as ever.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo represents the soul of our people, a testament to the enduring vision of our forebears, who understood that unity is a formidable force. From the Igbo Federal Union to the Igbo State Union, and now Ohanaeze, our collective strength has always been rooted in our sense of brotherhood and shared purpose.
We will certainly achieve far more when we fully embrace the value of speaking as a collective voice – not as lone, discordant voices. Like a quiver of arrows, our strength lies in unity.
Let us draw inspiration from the leadership pedigrees of Igbo leaders such as Dr Michael Okpara, the Premier of the old Eastern Region, who demonstrated how much could be achieved when patriotism and statesmanship are at the core of leadership. Now, more than ever, we must channel that spirit to achieve our collective aspirations and bring development across Ala Igbo.
Today, I delivered the 1st Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Distinguished Personalities Lecture Series, themed “Experiential Learning: Building the Wealth of the Nation.
The lecture provided an opportunity to address our educational model which is a critical issue at the heart of our nation’s development. I emphasised that Nigeria’s current education system, focused on rote memorisation, has hindered our progress, failing to equip students with the skills and competencies required for industrialisation and economic transformation. I called for a paradigm shift towards experiential learning, education that connects directly to real-world challenges and opportunities.
Nigerian universities seldom feature among the ranking of the world's best universities and are yet to produce inventive graduates who can drive national development. This shortfall stems from an outdated system that does not prioritise productive skills or innovation. Experiential learning fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, empowering students to see themselves as problem-solvers and innovators.
As part of our commitment in Enugu State, we are leading this transition by allocating 33% of our annual budget to education, twice UNESCO’s recommended benchmark. This investment has facilitated the creation of 260 Smart Green Schools across our wards.
Through our Smart Green Schools, we have introduced the ‘cut-off point’, whereby we target children from age three, and begin to inculcate in them social habits, health habits, fine motor skills, and problem-solving competencies, introducing them to an experiential education system that helps them to navigate our rapidly evolving technological knowledge-driven world.
After three years of Early Childhood Education, having completed Nursery 1-3, our children complete Basic 1-9. During their twelve-year academic study in the Enugu Smart Green Schools, our children learn with interactive digital whiteboards, tablets, and computers; they are immersed in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual/Augmented Reality, and Internet of Things, among others.
Upon graduating from the Smart Green Schools, about one-quarter of our children will proceed to the eight Science, Technical, and Vocational (STV) schools already under construction, which will focus on key competencies like Industrial and Information Technology, Building and Fabrication Engineering, as well as Industrial Agriculture, with the objective to become respected and skilled professionals, highly valued for their expertise.
I also announced a new policy directing all state-owned tertiary institutions to adopt experiential learning models in their planning, curriculum, and research efforts. Education, after all, is not just about passing exams, it’s about preparing our youth for a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world.
The transformation of our education system is not just a necessity; it is the foundation upon which we will build a prosperous and self-reliant nation. By prioritising experiential learning and investing in modern, skill-oriented education, we are equipping our youths to lead the charge towards a future defined by innovation, industrialisation, and sustainable development.
Tomorrow is here!
I indulge every African to be a Pan African, everyone should carry Africa's development on their heads.
The only way we will get the respect we deserve in the world, will be when we decisively choose our leaders according to their own credibility, integrity and not the American sponsored Africa media propaganda, the way it was done for Buhari and T-pain.
During Goodluck's time, many Africans, including me left europe after schooling because we saw that the future with him will be great.
This action restores the constitutional parity between both chambers of the National Assembly.
In response to this decision, Speaker Abbas praised the President’s commitment to justice and fairness:
The @HouseNGR has expressed its gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR for addressing a significant historical oversight by conferring Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) on the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, PhD.

Wooow! Hezbollah must have realized by now, that they are outclassed. First it was the pagers, then the communication gadgets, now the air waves.
Israel continues to set the pace in anti-terror warfare.
