Dangote invested $688 million in education.
0 patents.
Femi Otedola invested ₦5+ billion in education.
0 patents.
Cosmas Maduka.
0 patents.

Now pause.

Walmart (a supermarket): 8,841 patents
Tesla: 7,000 patents
Apple: 116,000 patents
Meta: 24,000 patents
Shell: 12,500 patents
All from university research pipelines.

So what exactly are Nigerian universities doing?

We are not running universities.
We are running glorified secondary schools with professors.

Globally, universities are judged by research output, patents, grants, and industry impact, not convocation gowns, social media noise, or strike press conferences.

No patents.
No serious research.
No industrial relevance.

Until our universities become research engines, Nigeria will keep importing ideas and exporting talent.

This must change. Now.

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.

Branding is how people see you.

Marketing is how they find you.

Sales is how you get paid.

I have nothing to prove to anyone, but for the sake of posterity, I feel compelled to say this.

I’ve always tried to “stick to chess” on Twitter, not out of fear, but out of reverence for the sacred work we do. This work is about children and giving them a fighting chance to belong in a world that too often forgets them. It would be terribly selfish to let my personal opinions or politics smear the integrity of this important mission.

But I worry now. I worry that we’re becoming so divided as a people, so consumed by suspicion and tribal lines, that we’re losing sight of what truly matters. And if we continue on this trajectory of hate, the ones who will suffer most are the very ones we claim to love, our children.

It is simply untrue and deeply unfair to suggest that I favor any tribe or ethnicity. In all my years of living, the thought has never even crossed my mind. I have stood in IDP camps in Maiduguri and Yola. I’ve held hands with children in Bayelsa, Cross River, and Delta etc. We have supported education projects across every region in Nigeria, and now in over 20 countries across Africa.

In all my travels, what I have seen is not tribe or religion, but talent, possibility, pain and deep suffering.

I have made it my life’s work to stand in the gap for these children and be a voice that compels the world to be less indifferent to their plight. That should be our shared mission: to stand in the gap, together. Not as Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, or Ijaw. But as Nigerians. As humans.

If we allow those who shake the jar to pit us against one another,we will fail the children and leave behind a legacy of hate. And that would be a tragedy too great to bear.

I am proudly Nigerian. And my life will always remain committed to helping every child, no matter where they’re from, find their place in this world.

Because in the end, the true measure of a nation is how fiercely it fights for the children it did not birth, but chose to love anyway.

It's official! I received a call from President Trump and he wants me to become the Book Czar! I will be responsible for removing all books that aren't age appropriate in the US! NO MORE P0RN in schools. He even offered me a couple offices at the White House, private security, and a personal vehicle. #MAGA

The Ige Bridge, our longest hydraulic control structure on the Aboru project, has just been baptized by flood—with no spillover to the community. This milestone not only validates our robust flood control measures but also underscores our commitment to a cleaner Lagos, as evidenced by the clear, styrofoam-free runoff.

Such achievements remind us that thoughtful, innovative infrastructure can transform challenges into opportunities for resilience and sustainability.

We get to a stage in our lives where we need to ensure all is well. It is important to have regular health checks at least once a year. In my case, I do it every 3 months because early detection saves lives. Go get checked please…#cancerfree #marcelleruthcancercentre

I grew up in Ondo City, and I saw the dead bodies of top politicians and others on the streets and the wanton destruction of properties. That killed my interest in politics in Nigeria and the UK.

Watching this video is one reason you should not fight or attack anyone because of any politician. They will eventually make up openly or secretly. Wisdom is profitable. Do not put your life on the line. I was given this advice in 1983 and have kept to it.
