Today, I visited Abor village in Enugu State to see the village children learning Maths. I turned into a teacher today as well.
Some of the children don’t have teachers in their schools. Some said their teachers are always in a hurry to cover their syllabuses, while others have very uninteresting teachers.
I personally experienced the joy and eagerness in the children. This gives me so much joy.
The lessons will now be held Monday to Saturday, and we will run 2 batches every day because of the crowd.
We will run an internal assessment every 2 weeks.
This now looks like a model that will eradicate illiteracy in villages and low-income areas.
Why the voter registration exercise should be extended.
As we continue to encourage Nigerians to participate actively in our democracy, I respectfully appeal to INEC to consider extending the voter registration window to the latest practical date that still allows adequate time for the preparation of a credible voters’ register before the 2027 general elections.
Every day, more young Nigerians attain the age of 18 and become constitutionally eligible to vote. They are not just our future; they are stakeholders in our present. It would be unfortunate if many of them were denied the opportunity to exercise their civic responsibility simply because the registration process closed long before the elections.
Moreover, this position is legally supported by the High Court judgment delivered on 22 November 2022 in Anaja Salmat & 3 Others v. INEC (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022). In that decision, the Federal High Court held that voter registration should continue until 90 days before a general election to protect the constitutional voting rights of eligible Nigerians.
I appreciate the enormous responsibility placed on INEC to deliver free, fair, and credible elections. I also recognise the need for sufficient time to clean the register and make the necessary logistical preparations. However, our electoral process should, as much as possible, maximise participation rather than limit it.
A democracy is strengthened when every eligible citizen has the opportunity to be heard. I therefore urge INEC to adopt a registration timeline that protects the integrity of the process while ensuring that no eligible Nigerian, especially our young people, is unnecessarily disenfranchised. -PO
She playfully teased her 98-year-old grandmother, saying she was getting old, the grandma quickly disagreed, insisting she wasn't old. She proudly pointed to her smooth skin, saying she still looked much younger than people think😂🥹✨
This is Mr. Benjamin, and he is in charge of assessments for the International STEM Olympiad.
He said that this year's exam was the toughest ever, and for our boys to get gold, it means they are far ahead of their peers.
Nigeria has the brightest untapped brains globally.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
Meet Victor Onwubiko, He is the best mathematician in the country at the junior secondary level.
He will be competing with students from 154 other countries this week in Rome, Italy, at the fierce International STEM Olympiad competition.
The South East has one advantage that is often overlooked:
People believe in education.
Whether rich or poor, Christian, traditionalist, trader, civil servant, politician, or farmer, there is a deep cultural respect for learning.
You can argue about politics, religion, and ideology, but tell an Igbo parent that education can improve their child’s future, and they will listen.
That cultural acceptance is a massive asset.
Many regions struggle first with convincing people that education matters. In the South East, that battle is largely won already.
Our challenge is no longer acceptance.
Our challenge is quality.
If we can provide world-class teachers, better learning systems, technology, mathematics, AI education, and clear pathways to opportunity, the people will embrace it.
The soil is already fertile.
We simply need to plant the right seeds.
That is why transforming education in the South East may be one of the fastest ways to transform the future workforce of Africa.

Omoh, serious sensitisation is really going on all over Nigeria !! 2027 election will be serious !! People are ready to defend their votes at any cost 🪧 🗳️
Building a Healthier Nigeria Through Stronger Healthcare Systems
As part of our desire and commitment to building a healthier Nigeria, I met with some healthcare professionals and experts in the United States on Friday, June 5, 2026. The meeting was essentially to deepen my understanding of how successful health insurance systems deliver improved healthcare, especially in the areas of primary and emergency care.
One of our key health objectives remains unchanged: to expand health insurance coverage, strengthen primary healthcare across our electoral wards, train more healthcare workers, and make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all Nigerians.
A New Nigeria must be a healthier Nigeria.
A New Nigeria is possible. -PO
