China comes to Nigeria, mines our raw materials with little government oversight and at almost no cost, and sends them back to China to manufacture products that are eventually sold to Nigeria and other African countries at significantly higher prices.

It is time we set tribalism aside and start looking inward.

If nothing is done, China could completely take over Nigeria’s economy within the next five years.

Nigeria cannot sell finished products to China, yet we consume almost everything they produce.

What, then, is the future of our children?

It is now a matter of urgency that we develop critical skills within Nigeria and take control of our economy.

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy

My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.

We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.

The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.

The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.

It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.

If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO

This Manchester United team is a disgrace. A proper embarrassment to the game of Football.

They were mediocre in attack last week against Everton. And that mediocrity repeats itself today against a 10-man city team.

Rubbish team playing rubbish football. 🗑 #MUNMCI #Mufc

🗣️ Cesc Fabregas: "The number 10 position is disappearing. Players of the caliber of Özil or James Rodriguez no longer interest coaches. These players are capable of unlocking a match with a brilliant pass, but nowadays, the coach prefers a stable structure.

When Conte arrived at Chelsea, I started to understand what modern football was: a lot of running, split sessions, robotic training...

I couldn't believe it. I was in shock, because I've always been a player who relied on creativity, which for me is the best thing in the arts."

[DaSuKi @chukaobi]

My first Uber ride in Nigeria in 2014 was in a 2011 Honda Accord.
It was N400. Short trip.
That was $2.40 at the time.

My most expensive Uber ride that year was just a little above N4,000.
About $24.

Anybody who did 10 such trips in a day made a minimum of $240.

With fuel at N97 and 25% platform fee, profit daily was at least $150 before bonuses.

That’s $900-$1,000 profit in a week.
$3,600-$4,000 in a month.

For context, a brand new 2014 Kia Optima or Hyundai Sonata was N5m. And you could pay over 5yrs.

Thats a monthly fee of $490.
Much lower for Cerato or Elantra—about $300-$350.

So with less than a week’s profit from Uber you had your brand new same year sedan monthly financing sorted.

Meanwhile a clean 2010 Corolla was 1.5m.
So paying $370 monthly, you cover the cost of buying it in 2yrs.
Leaving a profit of well over $3,000 monthly to split between you and the owner, and you take the car after 2yrs.

Now you understand why so many middle class people were buying clean cars and putting them on the road as Uber.

Now you understand why they can drinks and sweets and were so clean.
Some were even top cars like Benzes and Highlanders.

And everyone wants to suddenly act like going from buying fuel at less than N100 when the minimum wage could buy 3 bags of rice to buying fuel at N,1500 when the minimum wage can barely buy one bag, and when the cost of the same 2010 Corolla despite going from being a 4yr old car to a 16yr old car is x5 the cost it was when it was a 4yr old car, would not torpedo the entire business model.

If Uber were making N200M MONTHLY in 2014, they were making FAR MORE THEN than if they are making N200M WEEKLY TODAY.

N200M a month then—$1.2M monthly.
N200M a week now—$571K monthly.

They were all given certificates. This will form part of their CVs.

This is an experience they will never forget.

Beyond Football: The Match for a Better Nigeria

This weekend, Europe comes alive again with football. Millions of Nigerian youths will be glued to television screens, streaming matches, debating tactics, celebrating victories, and admiring the organisation, discipline, and excellence that make European football the envy of the world. But here is a question worth asking: Why can’t Nigerian football be just as good?

The answer is not a lack of talent. Nigeria has produced world-class footballers who have excelled in Europe because they found systems that reward merit, invest in infrastructure, ensure security, and are governed with competence and accountability. Great football does not exist in isolation. It grows where there is good governance.

The stadiums, academies, transport systems, healthcare, security, electricity, and institutions that support football are products of leaders who make the right choices and citizens who insist on accountability. Nigeria has the talent. What we have lacked is leadership that creates an enabling environment for that talent to flourish.

As I have decided, in the next 150 days, to engage Nigerian youths wherever they gather—in town halls, campuses, online spaces, and even football communities—my message is simple: The future you admire in Europe can be built in Nigeria. But it starts with your vote.

Imagine a Nigeria where our local league is competitive, our stadiums are full every weekend, our clubs attract sponsorship, our coaches receive proper training, and young footballers no longer see emigration as their only path to success.

Nigeria will not emerge through wishful thinking. It will emerge when young Nigerians decide that elections matter as much as football matches. Every goal scored in Europe is a reminder that excellence is possible. Every well-managed league is proof that systems work when honest leadership is in place.

The 2027 presidential election is therefore more than a political contest. It is an opportunity for Nigerian youths to choose the kind of country they want—a nation that exports talent because it is respected, not because its citizens are escaping failed governance.

Cheer for Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter, AC Milan, or any club you support. Enjoy every match. But when the final whistle blows, remember that the greatest match awaiting Nigerian youths is not in Europe. It is in Nigeria.

It is the match for good governance. It is the match for jobs, security, education, sports development, and national renewal. And unlike football, where only twenty-two players are on the pitch, every Nigerian youth has a place in this match.

Stand up. Mobilise. Vote. Defend your vote.

If Nigerian youths can passionately follow European football every weekend, they can also passionately build a Nigeria where our own football—and our nation—becomes a source of pride.

The journey towards better Nigerian football begins with the path to good governance. And the path to good governance begins with the decision of Nigerian youths to stand up and be counted in 2027.

Every weekend, starting today, I will come to you with a reminder of January 16, 2027, and our future. We can create world-class standards right here at home.

It’s in your hands, and that new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
