I don’t know why people forget I am still a surgeon, since I got the NDC House of Representative ticket for Surulere 1. People call me Honorable and have removed the surgeon from my name, anyway Saturday I had endoscopic sinus surgery by 7am and by evening I became a politician
A few months ago, Don Anele Marvelous Munachimso from Diamond Special College, Owerri, emerged as the winner of the Senior Category of the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad.
Today, we’re celebrating even more incredible news.
Don scored 98 in IGCSE Chemistry which is the highest score in Nigeria. He also earned 6 A*s in the Cambridge IGCSE examinations and has secured a $100,000 university scholarship in Canada.
In just 12 days, we’ll be heading to Rome together to for International STEM Olympiad and compete for gold.
Watching young people like this grow and achieve great things reminds me why we started this journey in the first place.
Congratulations, Don. The future is bright, and we’re all rooting for you. ❤️
@ogo2908@OM_fcb@asemota ‘We didn't know he was allergic to eggs, and someone used the same oil that had been used to fry eggs to fry plantains.‘
Not his fault, it’s the fault of his primary school English teacher.
@nycgunner74@RickyLylesuptf@DrianneBelleza It’s laughable! He needs to go check his ancestry and come back to his comment. Where do they think they got the rhythm from, the air in the US?
Come back to the continent and experience the real deal.
@Nairaexchanger@MorelandBu9547@DrianneBelleza You see olodo kom de argue wit am. Na wa for you o.
By the way you forget to add Morgan Freeman as Mandiba in Invictus, Will Smith as the Nigerian doctor, Dr. Omalu. We no tear pant o! Dem never cry finish.

This is America. Not what is currently in the White House.
Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
I just heard the funniest gist
A former road safety officer in Nigeria, now living in the UK, went for his 7th driving test today.
He failed the previous six tests.
