A New Nigeria is About Investment in People

Today, I visited the College of Nursing Sciences and College of Medical Sciences at Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka, an institution I remain committed to supporting.

I made an additional donation of ₦10 million to strengthen its growth, development, and capacity to provide quality medical education and training.

I reminded the students that education goes beyond certificates; it is about gaining the knowledge, skills, discipline and character to make a meaningful difference. Their training also prepares them to become competent, compassionate healthcare professionals who can serve humanity anywhere in the world.

My belief remains that sustained investment in education and healthcare, alongside deliberate efforts to lift people out of poverty, is one of the most effective and responsible ways to build a better, more productive and prosperous society.

When we invest in people, we invest in the future of our nation.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Enough is enough. The killings, abductions of innocent Nigerians, and the unleashing of terror on our people cannot continue. These senseless killings and heinous crimes must stop.

Terror does not ask for your tribe, faith, region, or political affiliation before it strikes. Our response must be stronger than our divisions.

Today on Politics Today, I called on all Nigerians to put aside political, ethnic, and religious differences and stand united against the common enemy threatening our collective future.

Criticise what must be criticised. Demand accountability where it is due. But above all, let us stand together.

#UniteAgainstTerror 🇳🇬

@SpiricocoNg Did you even listen to all Pastor Flourish said before handing her the award?

You brought an old video against the girl's present reality? Is it?

Well, let's see what the coming days will be with the girl. I hope she sees your post and knows now that she needs to live right.

I could have exited with bang last year and taken the entire platform down with me, like these this same group of people did when they took the Parallel Facts website down while exiting before they invested in WAW 3 years ago.

But I'm not that kind of person.

I had grouses. I had beef. But I won't destroy something I built just because I have beef with someone who is running it. I'd rather leave it for the person and go do my own thing, which is exactly what I did. It's like the biblical story of Solomon and the 2 women claiming to be a child's mother. It's easy to see who the real mother is by gauging who is willing to light it on fire to prove a point.

West Africa Weekly was my child. I told the story of how it began in my book. I was living in this dirty Airbnb studio apartment in a dingy building called French Hostel in Akweteyman, Achimota, Accra. It was called French Hostel because most of the tenants were students from Cote d'Ivoire and Cameroon. This was where I was at rock bottom in 2021. Still winded and confused from ending up in exile after End SARS, running out of money and options, waking up everyday and wondering where the hell I fit in this new world post-October 20.

Then someone here on Twitter tagged me on a post about something called the 'Substack Local Fellowship', and even though I wasn't really sure whether I wanted to go back to investigative journalism, it was at least a temporary way out of my existential conundrum. In my application, I named the prospective newsletter "West Africa Weekly", because I thought I would put out a new piece every week and since I was in Ghana, I wanted to cover Ghanaian stories too. I ended up getting it, and they asked me to nominate a graphic artist and editor. I nominated my editor from @NewsWireNGR, @TheFavoredWoman and that was how it all began.

Just me in a cheap, dingy apartment that had a cockroach problem, a cheap Dell Latitude laptop, a Vodafone 4G MiFi router, the promise of a $7,500 funding tranche every 3 months, some editorial support from Fola, and however far I was willing to go to get a great story. That's where all of this began. Just me and my cheap laptop in an urban slum somewhere in Accra.

From there, the world heard my voice. I told Itunu Babalola's story and nearly got arrested in Cote d'Ivoire in the process. I went after loan sharks owned by Chinese triads. I went after Nigeria's biggest corporates. I told the story that could have ended my career because of how close I was to it. I went after a drug lord-turned-politician who was running for president, and eventually won. I took the FBI, CIA, DEA, IRS, USAO and State Dept to court and won, only for them to refuse to carry out the court order to date.

Somewhere along the line I was granted political asylum and I got taken into the journalistic equivalent of a witness protection program because my life was under threat. Nigeria's National Intelligence Agency attempted to kidnap me from Ghana. It was the craziest adventure of my life, and it was nearly the last one.

So naturally when it was time to accept investment and move this operation from one crazy daredevil with his newsletter and YouTube channel to a structured operation with a board and reporters and HR, I wasn't going to say no. I was tired and I needed to rest.

And so despite all the subsequent humiliations, annoyances and grievances after I let other people control what I built, I was never going to burn it all down just because my time there was up. My baby is always my baby regardless of who controls it. Most people are just finding out today that I left WAW nearly 8 months ago, only because the new management decided to act this drama on the TL.

They will be fine or not. I wish this could have been handled differently, but to each his own. Nobody can take my memories away from me, and I will always remember what I built. Not what it has become.

Peace and love be unto ye. 👋🏿

The speed at which the lady in this ibom air saga was sent to Kirikiri is the same speed all those involved in her dehumanization should be sent to Prison.
Plus the person who stopped her from leaving the aircraft, to her who assaulted the airline staff, to the person that exposed her nakedness and the idiots who shared it online, all of them should face the law!!!

But Nigeria is a country where there are zero consequences for actions. A country where someone close to the government can stand in front of an aircraft that is ready to take off while airport authorities beg him to leave and even after the video gets out, government officials come out to apologize on his behalf because to “err is human…” However, another passenger is stripped naked and bundled…

Minister sir, @fkeyamo it is not enough to tweet! Show workings! The lady is already in kirikiri Abi? Ok what is the punishment for standing in front of an aircraft and preventing it from leaving? Oya where are the people you said will face the law for dehumanizing her? Have they been charged to court and remanded in prison? Abi una dey wait make Nigerians forget as usual?

Well, I can go on and on but I already know that in Nigeria, what is good for the goose is definitely not good for the gander.
