By Making Excuses for Unverified Certificates, We Are Planting Poison in the Soul of Our Society

A nation that tolerates unverified academic credentials at any level of leadership, regardless of who is involved, risks destroying the very standards upon which a society is built. The issue is not about an individual. It is about standards, accountability, and the values we choose to pass on to the next generation.

We cannot continue to excuse blurred, missing, questionable, or unverified credentials simply because they belong to someone we support. The process through which people attain positions of responsibility matters greatly. How we get into leadership is as important as what we do with leadership.

If we normalise the abandonment of basic verification today, tomorrow we may have professors who never attended a university, doctors who never studied medicine, and judges who never studied law.

That is the dangerous precedent we must never allow. Nigeria cannot sacrifice its future on the altar of today's transactional politics. We must build a society where truth is not partisan, standards are not negotiable, and accountability applies equally to everyone.

History will judge us not only by those we defended, but by the principles we were willing to defend. We must choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiments, and the future over political expediency.

A New Nigeria is possible, but only if we are willing to do the right thing, even when it is inconvenient. -PO

Surgeons cling to a patient on the operating table mid-surgery as a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake violently shakes a Japanese hospital.

Surveillance video shows equipment rattling and staff scrambling to keep items from falling while the surgical team works to protect the patient as the room moves around them.

The earthquake struck southwestern Japan, killing at least 39 people and forcing thousands into evacuation centers.

An in-home caregiver at Sen. Mitch McConnell’s home was nice and friendly before she went inside the residence for the first time. She bolted to a waiting car as she came out and wouldn’t respond when asked how McConnell is doing with his home recovery

I think every student who graduates with a First Class from any Nigerian university should have 100% of their school fees refunded, plus a ₦1 million excellence bonus.

I came across a similar incentive model in the Netherlands, and it made me think.

Imagine the message it would send: Hard work pays. Excellence is rewarded.

Instead of only celebrating academic success with certificates, why not attach real value to it?

It could fundamentally change how many students approach their education.

The newest member of this household has some competition for attention.

Instead of hiding, Kurt the cat quietly walks over to inspect the family's newborn with a gentle tap and a cautious sniff.

Kurt's owner says he is usually her most scared cat, which makes seeing him so sweet and gentle with the baby all the more heartwarming.

NEW: President Trump reacts to the massive migrant surge overwhelming Ceuta, Spain, warning it could happen in America.

"It's terrible. Remember that picture. That's going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in," Trump tells Fox News' @JacquiHeinrich, referring to Democrats winning elections.

Spain is deploying its military after tens of thousands of migrants overwhelmed the North African enclave of Ceuta, with officials confirming at least 18 people died during the crossings.

Trump adds: "If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life."

🚨 WOW! President Trump just announced he will be bringing this 16YO lifeguard to the WHITE HOUSE to give him a High Civilian Honor, after @EricTrump called for it

THAT is a HERO 👏🏻

"We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it!" 🇺🇸

I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.

One thing became clear:

Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.

Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.

This isn't about politics.

It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.

I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.

Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.

If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

This type of economics, "Reducing the purchasing power of the people. Widing the tax net, let it get bigger and bigger. "
Nigeria is the only country on the planet Earth where politically aspirants make this type of promise, yet people, the citizens, support him to carry it out.
