Many thought it was foreign-made until they saw “Aba Naija Made” written on it.
Aba is making it happen! 🔥

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
The craziest thing here is that his height can be a limitation. Worse still, he is still young and growing. They better find a way around it. Need him in F1 in the future.

Godwin O. Ajala was a Nigerian who died a hero’s death during the terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Centre #OnThisDay September 11, 2001. A trained lawyer in Nigeria, he emigrated to the United States in the mid-1990s to further his studies and support his family.
In New York, he worked as a security officer for Summit Security Services at the World Trade Centre while pursuing the dream of qualifying for the New York State Bar.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Ajala was on duty at the Towers. Eyewitness accounts and family recollections describe him as someone who helped to guide and evacuate people from the buildings after the planes struck. He was struck by falling debris during the collapse and found unconscious; he survived for a few days in the hospital but succumbed to his injuries on September 15, 2001. He was 33.
Ajala’s name is inscribed on the official National September 11 Memorial & Museum roll of victims, a solemn and permanent acknowledgement of his life lost that day. His story has been preserved in obituaries, memorial pages and workers’ remembrances that recall not only his death but his efforts to save others in the chaos.
He left behind a family in Nigeria, wife and children who survived him, and a wider circle of colleagues and neighbours who remember him as determined and compassionate, a professional who had come to America seeking better opportunities and who, when the moment demanded it, acted to help others.
In remembering Godwin Ajala, we remember an individual life amid the many lives lost on 9/11: a son of Nigeria, a worker in New York, and a person whose final actions were to protect and to serve. #HistoryVille
