Honouring Two Extraordinary Nigerians: Charly Boy and Newton Jibunoh
Yesterday, July 31, I attended the launch of 999: The Memoir of Charly Boy in Lagos.
Charly Boy is one of those people many may easily dismiss because of his appearance or the public persona he projects. But beyond that is Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, a thoughtful intellectual, a compassionate human being, and a patriot deeply committed to building a better society for all.
What particularly inspired me was the work he is doing through his foundation to promote men’s health. Having survived prostate cancer himself, he has chosen to transform his personal experience into a campaign for awareness, early detection, and improved access to treatment. Good health remains one of the most critical foundations of a productive and progressive society, and I am committed to supporting this noble cause.
Today, August 1st, I visited the newly established Newton Jibunoh Centre and Museum in Asaba, the brainchild of Newton Jibunoh. Although I was unable to attend his Mandela Day event, themed “Poverty and Inequality Are in Our Hands,” I considered it important to pay him a visit.
My dear Father, Newton Jibunoh, remains one of Nigeria’s living icons. He is a man whose stories, experiences, and wisdom can keep you listening for hours without fatigue. His remarkable road expeditions across the Sahara Desert to London, beginning in 1967 and repeated in 2000, 2008, and subsequent years, are enduring testimonies to courage, resilience, determination, and an adventurous spirit.
His extraordinary journeys also remind us of a period when travelling across Nigeria and beyond was far safer than it is today. Listening to him always leaves me reflecting on how much we have lost as a nation and how much work still lies ahead if we are to rebuild a secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria.

Listen to this passionate speaker talk about the accountability of Peter Obi. A man who refused to collect pension from the State. Sadly Tinubu is still collecting from Lagos.
Rehabilitate Existing Infrastructure Before Embarking on New Projects
I have consistently advised governments at all levels to prioritise rehabilitating existing infrastructure before embarking on new projects that may also end up abandoned or left unfinished. For expressing this position, I have often been criticised and called all sorts of names. Yet, it remains the most responsible approach to governance.
It is therefore noteworthy that President Bola Tinubu has now cautioned state governors against committing scarce public resources to constructing unnecessary flyovers in areas with little traffic while neglecting more pressing developmental needs.
The President is, in essence, saying what I have always maintained: government must prioritise projects that directly address the immediate needs of the people. I hope those ministers, officials, and supporters who have consistently attacked this position will now direct the same criticism at him.
However, this admonition must also apply to the Federal Government. There are several unrealistic and white-elephant projects being pursued by the current administration, even as much of our critical infrastructure remains in a state of disrepair. Given our present fiscal realities, priority should be given to rehabilitating and completing existing infrastructure rather than embarking on expensive new projects with limited immediate impact.
Across Nigeria, many of our major highways linking commercial centres and food-producing communities have deteriorated into death traps. Neglecting these critical roads while pursuing prestige projects is neither economically prudent nor people-centred.
This philosophy guided my administration as Governor of Anambra State. I prioritised completing viable projects initiated by my predecessors before embarking on new ones. Government is a continuum, and development should never be measured by who starts a project, but by whether it is completed and serves the people.
Leadership is about making the right choices: fixing what is broken, completing what has already been started, and investing limited public resources where they will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people.

2027: Tinubu Government Bent On Winning By All Means — Onaiyekan
Unfortunately they have a lot of means at their disposal and they’re deploying all those means in a way that eventually, even with a free and fair election the votes of the people may not count.

"A friend becomes governor and Dan doesn't even ask him for anything. Instead, I am the one calling to ask, 'Are you okay?' That's the kind of in-law Abia people should be proud to have, not someone whose first response is, 'Transfer money.' Besides, there's no money to transfer anyway."
—Governor Alex Otti made the remarks during the 60th Memorial Anniversary of Late Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi, where he spoke on the value of genuine relationships, selflessness, and the importance of caring for people beyond financial expectations.
Looks like Peter Obi’s team is not playing with the next election. Sergious Ogun explains that AI technology will be deployed to show Nigerians the real winner of the next election. According to him, Peter Obi will win before 2PM.
BREAKING: The Muslim community in Anambra State, has come out to defend Peter Obi against what it says are false allegations.
The community insists that the claims that Obi mistreated northern Muslims when he was the governor are completely false.
Instead, its members say Peter Obi was good to them during his time as governor and has continued to be supportive even to this day.
In fact, they confirmed that Peter Obi helped build their Mosque and also used to help them go for Hajj.
Nigeria will be OK ✌️🇳🇬
“We Were Happy When We Saw That a Man From Our Own Yoruba Land Became President. But What Has Happened? He Has K!lled Us With Hunger and Insecurity. Many Nigerians Are Homeless, Food Prices Are Sky-High, and We Can’t Even Afford Drinking Water. The Cost of Fuel and Transportation Has Become Unbearable. It Will Not Be Well With Anyone Who Sees the Truth and Refuses to Speak It. Look at Sanwo-Olu in Lagos, Busy Enjoying Himself While We’re Suffering. They Should Come and Arrest Me.” ~ Man Cries Out
Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President
I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.
While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.
Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.
The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.
No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.
The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.

“The Nigerian Supreme Court committed grave scandal by failing to issue a documented ruling on Peter Obi’s appeal, raising serious concerns about judicial transparency and accountability during the last court proceedings.”
— Prof. @ChidiOdinkalu
Tinubu forced himself to become the President of Nigeria. Let the whole world know, let the dead wake up from the grave and know that Tinubu is not the people’s choice, and we will never allow him to force himself on us again in 2027.
