@DonAzag The Gonzaga Jesuit College Okija is a private school founded by philanthropist Dr. Ernest Obiejesi (Obijackson Foundation) with the Jesuits. Planning began in 2016—after Peter Obi’s governorship ended in 2014. It is not a government project from his era.
No direct link to Obi

It taught me a brutal, unforgettable lesson: Never judge someone when you don’t know the battles they are fighting in secret.
The person you’re pointing fingers at might just be carrying a burden you couldn't even lift.
Do have a Wonderful weekend. Copied
For 8 straight months, everyone in my compound believed our landlord's 24 year old daughter, Simi, was a high class runs girl 👀
Every single night at exactly 9:45 PM, she'd leave the house, enter a Bolt, and never return until around 6 AM.
And how did we repay her? With wicked gossip and judgment.
That weekend, all the tenants called a meeting. We voluntarily agreed to a 30% rent increase and raised ₦800k on the spot to support Baba Segun's surgery.
Baba cried. Simi cried. We cried.
Iya Favour, who started most of the gossip, actually came out to the corridor, sat on the floor, and started crying.
We were all enjoying cheap rent, saved by the kindness of a man whose daughter was secretly breaking her back in a factory just to keep him healthy.
The makeup and perfume she wore when leaving the compound? It was just a cover up so her nearly blind father wouldn't suspect she was going out to do hard labor.
When Bro Chuks shared this on our compound WhatsApp group the next morning, the silence was deafening.
To save her father from going entirely blind without forcing him to compromise his values, Simi quietly took a grueling night shift job at the factory.
His government pension hadn't been paid in over two years.
Extended family had advised him to double our rent to raise the money, but Baba Segun bluntly refused, saying it was wicked to punish his tenants for his health problems.
When she realized it was him, she broke down in tears right there in the parking lot and begged him not to tell anyone, especially her dad.
Simi confessed that her dad’s glaucoma had gotten terribly worse. He needed urgent eye surgery that cost ₦2.5 million.
They were covered in dust, wearing heavy boots, and looking physically broken. And right there, dragging her tired feet towards his car, was Simi.
Bro Chuks was shocked. Simi? What are you doing here?
She froze.
