The media isn't talking about the case of Femi Gbajabiamila.
Nigerians are not even aware of such a grave issue.
How was ₦1.3b released to a non-existent agency?
The fraud under Tinubu is beyond the human comprehension.
This is the new public school in Abia State. 19 others are currently being built.
What they’re doing is transforming already existing schools into this. This is American-standard schooling.
You remember I once criticized their first smart school attempt, which the government later condemned entirely and followed this approach instead.
I’m so impressed with the Abia State Government.
They listen, and they are truly for their people.
We simply MUST emancipate ourselves from the mental slavery that is tribalism.
Tribalism is an ungodly, wicked, and generationally divisive thing, and we have to cut it out like the cancer that it is.
You are unlikely to ever be as rich as Dangote, and you have already missed the boat to fame as either an athlete or an artiste. But you have gained immortality by your efforts in pursuit of a sustainable and relevant educational system for the youthful victims of Nigerian..👏🏿
I was watching Jarvis defend her man, Peller and when she said, “Your President, did he go to school?”, I just shook my head in pain.
That we have a President with a questionable educational background is part of the reason we have this Olodo uprising.
The last time Nigeria participated in the International Maths Olympiad (IMO) was in 2019.
The government's reason then was that it was not important enough.
The actual funding required is less than the cost of a brand new Hilux.
This is the most prestigious academic competition in the world, and our children have been deprived of participation for years.
Education has been pushed to the back seat for a long time, while illiteracy has been elevated.
This needs to stop now!
Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy
Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.
From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.
It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.
It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.
The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.
Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.
My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.
I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO
We grew up watching who wants to be a millionaire, cowbell mathematics competition, spelling bee etc..
Now we’re stuck with BBN, peller and the likes and you can’t see the problem?
