Whatever you sow...You shall reap
Building Smart Schools that are managed and run by average teachers, who are not smart, is crass Iberiberism
Education is the factory that produces politicians, lawyers, engineers, doctors, pharmacists, nurses, etc.
So if education is corrupt, the nation is finished.
No country becomes great with fake exams.
So the first national emergency is assessment integrity.
WAEC, NECO, GCE, JAMB, university exams, professional exams, all must become clean, technology-driven, traceable, and consequence-based.
Exam malpractice should not be treated as “normal Nigerian behaviour.”
It should be treated as economic sabotage.
Because every fake A produces a weak graduate, and every weak graduate weakens the nation.
This is what the Minister for education and all state commissioners for education should face head on and solve.
This Mamapee advert on Peter Obi is super!
Should be played over & over again to our youths, parents, elders, new & old voters.
Nigeria Will Be “OK” if we do the right thing.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
The chameleon is a unique animal.
It is not deceptive; it adapts to survive danger, hostility, and changing environments. Its ability to adjust is not a sign of weakness, but of wisdom, awareness, and survival instinct.
Those who mock adaptation often forget that rigidity has destroyed more people, institutions, and nations than flexibility ever did.
In politics, there is a clear difference between opportunistic movement and principled transition. One is driven by personal gain; the other is driven by conviction, vision, and the search for a better platform to serve the people.
Mr. @PeterObi’s political journey has never been about tribe, power, or personal survival. From APGA to PDP to LP to ADC, his values have remained remarkably consistent: prudence, accountability, competence, production, and compassion for ordinary Nigerians. The platform changed, but the message never changed. The environment changed, but the character remained intact.
A man who left office without stealing public funds, who still flies economy when others squander state resources, who speaks more about schools, hospitals, security, and production than about opponents, cannot honestly be described as a political chameleon in the negative sense. If anything, he represents ideological consistency in a political environment filled with transactional alliances and convenient morality.
Ironically, many of those attacking him today have crossed more political bridges than they can remember, defending one government today and condemning the same principles tomorrow. It is therefore difficult to take lectures on loyalty from individuals whose political history reads like a revolving door.
People like Daniel Bwala especially should exercise restraint before attacking others over political association or movement, considering their own very public political transitions and recent outings, including Doha engagements that raised more questions than answers among Nigerians.
The real issue before Nigerians is not who changed political parties. The real issue is who has changed Nigeria for the better.
History will not remember those who shouted the loudest on television or social media. It will remember those who stood consistently for justice, competence, fiscal responsibility, and the dignity of the Nigerian people, regardless of the political platform they occupied.

The most important thing about leadership is not what you know. It is who you are—and what drives you. Will you lead for power—or for people? Will you lead for position—or for purpose? You cannot give what you do not have. And you cannot be what you are not. — Akinwumi Adesina
“This Experience Will Not Repeat Itself” - Another Presidential Promise fails in less than 24 Hours.
Less than 24 hours after President Tinubu stood at the Jos Plateau State airport on April 2, 2026, and promised the grieving Nigerian citizens, “I promise you that this experience will not repeat itself,” another brutal attack occurred in Nyamgo Gyel, Jos South LGA, resulting in the deaths of several innocent citizens.
Since then, and only a week following that reassuring promise from the President, Nasarawa State has been plunged into grief as the Akyawa and Udege Kasa communities fled for their lives after gunmen killed at least 11 people. Many homes were reduced to ashes, and numerous families remain missing.
In Zamfara State, 150 innocent Nigerians were abducted from the Kurfa Danya and Kurfan Magaji communities in one of the largest mass kidnappings in recent times. On the same day of the Zamfara kidnappings, terrorists in Borno State stormed Chibok, killing four officers and burning down homes.
Yesterday, on Easter Sunday, Benue State was rocked by violence again, with over 17 Nigerians massacred, entire communities left in ruins, and many individuals still unaccounted for. Today, in Kaduna State, several innocent citizens were killed by terrorists inside churches, with many others abducted in the Ariko community of Kachia LGA.
Yet we were told, “This experience will not repeat itself.” This represents a failure of leadership and responsibility, and sadly, Nigerians are paying for it with their lives.
These attackers are not ghostly figures; our inaction emboldens them. How can a President make such a categorical promise and, mere hours later, the nation continues to count the dead across multiple states? The primary responsibility of any government is to protect lives and property; however, this responsibility is failing today. Nigerians are being slaughtered in their homes, in their communities, and in the very places they should feel safest. Even the President did not enter these communities, so who is truly safe in Nigeria?
This is a national emergency. Nigeria is bleeding, and the situation is worsening and increasingly helpless.

This Saturday (2PM – 4PM) we are opening our Final Nationwide JAMB Readiness Assessment to everyone writing JAMB next month.
It's still remains completely free for everyone.
https://t.co/dnjSLGbm07
Let me explain why this is important.
Most students preparing for JAMB are studying hard but they have no real idea if they are actually ready.
Reading textbooks is one thing but facing real JAMB-standard questions under exam pressure is another thing entirely.
So we built an assessment using 100% JAMB-standard questions structured exactly the way students will face them in the real exam.
The goal is simple:
Before you walk into the real JAMB hall, you should already know where you stand.
Students who take this assessment and perform well are very likely to score high in the real JAMB because it measures the same level of readiness.
Many students who used our assessments in the past discovered their weak areas early enough to fix them before the actual exam.
That is the advantage.
And honestly, opportunities like this don’t usually come free.
If you know anyone writing JAMB this year, your child, sibling, student, neighbour, or friend kindly send this to them immediately.
Sometimes the difference between 180 and 350 is simply knowing your true level before the exam.
If you are writing JAMB this year, don’t miss this.
Sterling Bank will be giving us N60 million for prizes only towards 2027 South East Maths Olympiad.
This is now by far the biggest academic event in the country.
We are projecting to have up to 100k students in participation for 2027 and we will also remain transparent in every step.
Senior category winner takes N10 million
Junior category winner takes N5 million
Primary category winner takes N3 million
Teachers in each category takes N3 million
Schools for each winner takes N5 million
Every student that qualifies for round of 45 gets N100k
Second position gets N1 million
Thirst position gets N500k
The winners will represent us in 2027 International STEM Olympiad finals and also 2027 German Maths Olympiad Grand Finale.
Participation is FREE for every child who lives or schools in the South East regardless of your nationality or tribe.
We are on track to build the greatest workforce from Africa and we will make education highly rewarding and exciting like never seen before.
It was in May 2025, JAMB had released results and candidates from Lagos and South East states performed poorly.
Despite public outcry, a key person in the ministry of education defended the outcome as a reflection of their true capacities under strict examination conditions.
It was during this tense period that @winexviv, founder and CEO of Educare, publicly raised concerns about the UTME results, citing data and reports from schools whose students scored far below expectations despite strong past performance.
He argued there was a technical glitch in JAMB’s system rather than genuine academic failure.
Rather than use kinetic means to resolve perceived injustice, Onyia used subtle diplomacy. He petitioned governors and education officials in the South‑East and Lagos, urging an audit and transparent review before the rescheduled exam concluded.
Consequently, JAMB invited him to join a review panel examining the 2025 UTME process, indicating that his involvement was significant in pushing for scrutiny of how the results were generated.
JAMB eventually acknowledged technical errors in the examination system that affected scores at many centres in Lagos and the South‑East and ordered a resit for affected candidates (about 379,997 candidates) starting mid-May 2025 for affected candidates.
Significant improvements were recorded for many candidates in terms of scores above the 200 benchmark.
I was a direct beneficiary of the non kinetic activism of Alex Onyia. My daughter who had previously scored 179, later scored 299 which gave her straight admission for her chosen course of study.
Can you imagine the level of education apathy this would have generated if it had gone unchallenged?
A 19-year-old candidate, Faith (Timilehin) Opesusi, in Ikorodu, Lagos, reportedly took poison after seeing her 2025 UTME score, which she believed was much lower than expected.
She had scored about 190 and was deeply disappointed because she had done better the previous year.
Very sadly, reports say that a provisional admission notification arrived about 30 minutes after her death.
Alex Onyia went ahead to organize the well publicized and successful South East Maths Olympiad where three students Egejurum Onyedikachi, Onwubiko Chimdiebube and Don-Anele Munachimso emerged as champions. They won cash prizes in millions together with their teachers. Many corporate organizations were partners.
The students have been invited to compete on a global stage at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale happening in Rome from July 2nd - 8th.
He is currently organizing a South-East Educators Conference to happen in May in Enugu.
What we need in Nigeria right now are many Alex Onyia who can use non-kinetic means to achieve regional, national and global excellence.
A working, prosperous and egalitarian Nigeria is possible, just a step at a time.
Identifying with the People Peacefully for Electoral Integrity
Yesterday, February 9th, I participated in a peaceful protest at the National Assembly to demand urgent electoral reforms that truly reflect the will of the Nigerian people.
Our demands were clear and non-negotiable: anyone seeking to hold titles such as Honourable, Distinguished, or Excellency must emerge through a transparent and honourable process. Aspirants for public office should provide verifiable records of their primary, secondary, and tertiary education, along with fulfilling other constitutional requirements such as age and qualifications. No one should aspire to lead without having gone through due process.
Beyond eligibility, candidates must engage in open campaigns, public scrutiny, and debates as mandated by law. Most importantly, election results must be transmitted electronically and in real time to protect the people's mandate and eliminate manipulation.
Claims that certain states lack network coverage are no longer acceptable. Financial institutions operate nationwide through secure digital networks to conduct transactions and collect taxes on a daily basis. If banking systems function seamlessly, our electoral system can and should do the same.
Nigeria must stop being a so-called Giant of Africa that disgraces the continent and instead become a beacon of exemplary governance, beginning with credible elections.
We owe the younger generation a nation built on order, justice, and trust—not one mired in chaos and impunity. As the agitation continues, I urge our youth, who turned out in large numbers, to remain steadfast and not relent until the necessary reforms are achieved.
I remain firmly committed to the vision of a New Nigeria—one that is not only possible, but inevitable if we stand and act together. -PO
Saving the Only Hospital in Mgbowo
Yesterday, after attending the symposium celebrating the 70th birthday of Prof. Pat Utomi, I visited St. Anthony’s Hospital in Mgbowo, Enugu State. This facility was inherited by the Catholic Diocese of Awgu from the former Enugu Diocese.
At its peak, the hospital was a large and vital institution, serving both the host community and several surrounding areas. Today, it remains the only health facility available to these communities.
After touring the premises and assessing the condition of the facilities, I made a donation of ₦10 million. I realised the extensive work needed to restore the hospital, and I assured the management that, while this task cannot be handled by one person alone, I will continue to contribute monthly towards its rehabilitation.
The involvement of missionaries—whether Christian or Muslim—in providing essential social services deserves our support and commendation. Through their efforts, they help fill critical gaps and assist the government in fulfilling its basic obligations to society.
I have attached a video of the hospital to illustrate the extent of its deterioration and the urgent help it requires. By offering support, we are not only restoring a facility but also reaffirming our shared responsibility to protect life and dignity in our communities.
A new Nigeria is Possible. -PO
We Continue to Confirm our ‘Now Disgraced Status’ as a Nation?
Let us all pause and pray for the souls of over 150 innocent lives lost in Kwara yesterday. This tragedy is precisely why I delayed commenting on the outrageous and shameful news surrounding our electoral system. The Senate's blatant rejection of mandatory electronic transmission of election results is an unforgivable act of electoral manipulation ahead of 2027.
This failure to pass a clear safeguard is nothing short of a deliberate assault on Nigeria’s democracy. By rejecting these essential transparency measures, they are eroding the very foundation of credible elections. One must ask: Does the government exist to ensure order and justice, or to institutionalise chaos? Is its purpose to serve the people, or to fulfil the sinister ambitions of a select few?
The turmoil, disputes, and manipulations that plagued past elections, especially the 2023 general election, stemmed directly from the refusal to fully implement electronic transmission. Nigerians were fed excuses of a fabricated “glitch” that never existed. While numerous African nations adopt electronic transmission to bolster democracy, Nigeria, the supposed giant of Africa, shamelessly lags behind, dragging the continent backwards.
We are wasting time hosting conferences and drafting papers on Nigeria's problems while we, the leaders and elite, are the real issue. Our deliberate resistance to reform is pulling the country backwards, dragging us toward a primitive state of governance.
By rejecting mandatory electronic transmission—a critical safeguard for electoral integrity—we are entrenching disorder aimed at perpetuating confusion according to the whims of a small clique. Have we not reached a point where we must think seriously about the future of our country and our children? Should leadership not focus on building a credible, orderly, and livable nation for the next generation, rather than one permanently ensnared in chaos?
When the former Prime Minister of the UK, aware of our history, labelled us “fantastically corrupt,” we reacted defensively. When President Donald Trump declared us a “now disgraced nation,” we were incensed. Yet, with every act of resistance against transparency and reform, we continue to affirm their claims. Those responsible will later point fingers at others for harming the country while they quietly suffocate its potential.
Let there be no illusion, the criminality witnessed in 2023 will not be tolerated in 2027. Nigerians everywhere must start getting ready to rise up, resist, and reject the backward trajectory, legitimately and decisively reclaim our country from the clutches of deliberate malevolence.
The International community must take heed of this groundwork for continued future electoral manipulation, endangering our democracy and development.
A new Nigeria is POssible but we must all stand and fight for it. -PO
Let me say this clearly and publicly.
Nigeria deserves answers.
I have made inquiries from sources within the education ecosystem, and what I’m hearing raises serious concerns about transparency around the new national curriculum.
So I’m asking directly and naming institutions that should provide clarity:
Has the Honourable Minister of Education ever seen or fully reviewed and publicly presented the complete curriculum framework?
Has the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) made the full curriculum openly accessible to the public without barriers?
Have the National Assembly Committees on Education conducted transparent oversight hearings on its contents?
Have examining bodies like WAEC, NECO, and JAMB publicly demonstrated alignment with the final approved framework?
Because here is the reality:
None of these agencies have seen the new curriculum and anyone you see online is fake.
This curriculum should determine what tens of millions of Nigerian children will learn.
It shapes national productivity.
It defines our innovation capacity for decades.
Yet try this yourself:
Write formally to NERDC today and request the complete official curriculum document, not summaries, not extracts, the full framework. They will never respond to you because it does not exist. This new curriculum was funded by a foreign agency.
If you receive it transparently and without obstruction, publish it for Nigerians to see.
Education cannot operate behind closed doors. Curriculum cannot be treated like classified intelligence.
The intellectual future of our children must never be opaque.
I am calling on:
Media houses to investigate
Legislators to demand disclosure
Educators to speak up
Parents to ask questions
Nigeria must move from secrecy to transparency in education governance.
We cannot claim to build a knowledge economy while hiding the blueprint of knowledge itself.
I just saw that Igbo history is being quietly removed from the curriculum, and I won’t pretend this is normal. I honestly feel a deep mix of anger and shame.
This doesn’t feel like oversight. It doesn’t feel like bureaucracy. It feels intentional.
No empire is forcing this.
No conqueror is rewriting our books.
We are doing it ourselves.
You don’t remove history by accident.
You remove it when you don’t want the next generation to ask uncomfortable questions.
History explains who we were, what we survived, and why things are the way they are.
Take that away, and you produce citizens who exist but don’t understand themselves.
A child who never learns Igbo history will grow up believing Nigeria began in 1914,
that power was always centralized,
that resistance never existed,
that things have always been this way.
That ignorance is not neutral.
It is extremely useful to someone.
Every serious society protects its history fiercely.
Not because the past was perfect, but because memory is power.
So when Igbo history is removed, what exactly is being replaced?
Silence?
Amnesia?
Or a version of the story that makes questioning impossible?
We’ll still cry tomorrow that our children don’t know who they are, but today we are the ones deleting the evidence.
This isn’t about sentiment.
It’s about control.
A people without history is easy to manage, easy to divide, and easy to lie to.
Erase the past, and you don’t need chains anymore.
Governments don’t fear angry people as much as they fear people who remember.
Removing Igbo history doesn’t erase the past, it just ensures the next generation won’t know enough to challenge the present.
