The concerning building collapses in Anambra and Ogun States.
The collapse of structures housing, among others, some students of Federal Polytechnic, Oko, in Amaokpala, Anambra State, is deeply distressing. I am saddened by the tragic loss of two lives in this unfortunate incident. While I understand that the deceased were not students of the Polytechnic, I extend my heartfelt condolences to their families and loved ones. I also pray for the quick recovery of those who sustained injuries.
Coming barely days after the unfortunate similar incident at Amaokpala, the reported collapse of a building in Ogun State, with the loss of lives, is another painful reminder of the urgent need to prioritise the safety of our people.
I commend the Anambra State Government, the Ogun State Government, the Rector of Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Dr Chioma Irene Awuzie, emergency responders, security agencies, and all involved in the rescue and relief efforts for their swift and coordinated response. Their prompt actions helped prevent what could have been even greater tragedies.
These incidents call for deeper reflection and urgent action. Across our country, we must strengthen the enforcement of building regulations, ensure strict compliance with approved standards, and insist on regular structural integrity assessments to avoid preventable tragedies.
The safety and welfare of our citizens, especially our young people, must remain central to our development efforts. We must continue to invest not only in educational infrastructure but also in ensuring that every environment in which our people live and learn is safe and fit for purpose.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives, those who were injured, the students affected by the Amaokpala incident, and all impacted by these unfortunate events. May God grant eternal rest to the deceased, comfort their loved ones, and grant the injured a swift recovery.
I will continue to cherish and support our students, as they remain central to building the New Nigeria we aspire to. By investing in their education, safety, and well-being, we make that New Nigeria possible. -PO
See the weather.
Your mates are home with LOTL, eating, drinking, Netflix and fucking their souls out, but because you are an evil person, the universe punished you to be in Lagos traffic, exchanging words with smelly mouth conductor over increased fares.
After 2027 polls, we seriously need to rebuild.
We need to start identifying young, enegetic Nigerians across board to start stress-testing for next polls. They exist I assure you. They exist but no one has given them a voice.
True power is if young, credible Nigerians take over the National Assembly as a proper checkmate to the Executives. It’s late for this cycle but we need to rebuild. No matter how long it will take, 10-15 years we need to take back this country.
When we get it right, there will no longer be ridiculous borrowings, no more ridiculous spendings passing through the NASS.
It will be a coalition of a New Nigeria for its young citizens.
We will circle back to this much later.
Lmaoo! The fact even women call men that are kind/nice ‘simps’ is enough evidence you can’t even blame the young kings that prioritize themselves.
Everyone deserves what they actually get.
“No politician travels across Nigeria the way I do. While others remain in the comfort of their homes, making accusations and calling names, I am on the ground, engaging with Nigerians and visiting communities many politicians never go to.”
Peter Obi’s words are not just a campaign line; they reflect how he has consistently conducted himself.
Just look at his itinerary over the past week.
He arrived in Abuja from Lagos on Thursday, met with the British High Commissioner, proceeded for a live interview with Seun Okinbaloye, and then travelled to Anambra, where he attended to several engagements before calling it a day.
On Friday, after activities in Awka and Onitsha, he travelled to Enugu, where he met with Nigerians, encouraged them to register and collect their PVCs, and attended other public engagements.
On Saturday, he embarked on another journey, travelling by road from Enugu to Ogoja and Iyala in Cross River State. There, he donated ₦10 million to a maternity hospital, celebrated his birthday at the first Council Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Ogoja, and donated another ₦5 million to support the Church’s school.
His schedule didn’t slow down. From Cross River, he returned to Anambra, travelled onward to Delta State to honour the NDC governorship candidate at his thanksgiving service, then proceeded to Mbaise in Imo State to attend the celebration in honour of Nobel laureate James Robinson, before eventually landing in Lagos.
This is the kind of stamina leadership demands.
Nigeria is too complex, too challenged, and too important to be governed by someone who is absent from the people or disconnected from their realities. The country needs a president with the physical strength to cover every part of Nigeria, the mental capacity to understand its many challenges, and the emotional resilience to connect with its people.
Leadership is not a part-time job. It requires energy, discipline, empathy, and relentless commitment.
If Nigeria is to move from where it is today to where it ought to be, it needs a leader who is willing to do the work, not from the comfort of a “bunker”, but among the people.
Why should a government prefer deceit rather than implement projects for its people?
Tell that man to come out from his solar powered bunker and do his job.
The South East has been highly marginalised by this government.
From the lack of erosion projects in communities in Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, and Enugu where homes, roads, and farmlands are consistently lost, to the lack of stable electricity for industrial hubs, to the deeply concerning situation of no Seaport or Deep Sea Port in the entire region which has the most business operators, to the Eastern railway completion. So many projects ignored.
Tinubu @officialABAT please come out from your bunker and do your job.
There is no country on earth where a child will be sent to prison because they scored an F in an exam.
But every day, people lose their freedom, destroy their futures, or even lose their lives because of poor character, lack of discipline, greed, dishonesty, or violence.
Yet many parents panic over grades and ignore character.
If your child leaves school with integrity, discipline, empathy, resilience, and the ability to do the right thing even when nobody is watching, you’ve already won.
Academics can open doors.
Character determines what happens after those doors open.
The greatest product of any school should not be straight A’s.
It should be responsible human beings.
What’s your view?
Of all the Nigerian Presidential candidates, only one candidate has actually visited South-Africa to know what the actual hell is going on there with our people there.
That’s Peter Obi
If we highlight these things, they will say we are playing politics.
We continued our Maths training for village children and highly underprivileged kids in Abor village in Enugu.
Some of them attend schools that barely have a teacher at all.
After they heard testimonies from the children who attended the previous class, the facility became so crowded that we can’t handle the numbers anymore. We will be designing a timetable to manage the crowd going forward.
See? These children are hungry for knowledge. They only lack access to it.
This is a clear gap we are fixing, and we will scale it across the South East.
My Visit to Ogoja
After visiting the Catholic Maternity Hospital in Ogoja, where I supported the hospital and its School of Midwifery, I stopped at the INEC Continuous Voter Registration Centre at St. Ben’s Demonstration Primary School, Ogoja. I observed the voter registration exercise and the orderly conduct of the citizens who came out to register.
Thereafter, I honoured the invitation of the Missionary Diocese of Ogoja, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), where the newly installed Bishop held his first Synod and unveiled a vision centred on expanding access to education and healthcare through the establishment of a school and a hospital.
In support of this noble mission, I made an initial contribution of ₦5 million. Investing in education, healthcare, and the welfare of the less privileged remains one of the most meaningful ways to build a productive, compassionate, and prosperous society.
I sincerely thank the Bishop and the Diocese for their commitment to serving humanity.
We thereafter proceeded through Okuku, Yala LGA where we greeted the people.
Together, through purposeful investments in people and institutions, we can build a better Nigeria.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
A time will come in Nigeria when the whole nation will be at a standstill because we are about to launch our first real rocket into space.
We are currently investing in the talent that will make that happen.
Our real wealth and potential lie in the millions of young talents we are building.
The future will be exciting and inspiring.
Fixed deposit rates in Nigeria currently range from about 8% to 20% per annum depending on the bank, tenure, and deposit size, supported by the Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Rate of 26.5%.
To take advantage, you have to compare rates across commercial and merchant/Micro-Finance banks, choose longer tenures for higher returns, and keep deposits within NDIC-insured limits while matching the lock-in period to their liquidity needs.
Tip: Micro-finance banks have higher rates. That’s what I use.
They will never have waist beads to get job in an Oil company, Gas or Tech.
No beads to get shares and stocks in Tesla, Google or Nvidia.
No waist beads to become secretary of United nations or OPEC
Always beads to get gifts from men.
Such a useless product
I received a phone call from Mr Peter Obi and am deeply grateful for the words of encouragement from His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, in appreciation of our 65 Free Adenotonsillectomy and ENT Surgery Initiative, organized to mark his birthday and give back to our country, Nigeria.
As of today, we have screened over 50 patients, categorizing them into surgical and non-surgical cases while also managing other medical conditions where necessary.
What has been particularly inspiring is that beneficiaries have come not only from different parts of Lagos but also from Benin, Awka, Enugu, and Owerri. This reminds us that disease knows no boundaries, and quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live.
Surgeries for the selected patients will commence this week, and beneficiaries will be contacted through the phone number previously used to reach them.
Tomorrow is the final day of the free screening, which ends at 4:00 p.m.
📍 Venue: Infirmorium Catholic Hospital, No. 1 Olufemi Street, off Ogunlana Drive, Surulere, Lagos.
My sincere appreciation to everyone who has supported this initiative. Together, we are restoring health and giving hope, one patient at a time.

I will be running another experiment.
The top 40 students in Enugu from the last Olympiad will engage in a 3-week bootcamp to learn some critical skills with precision.
They will learn how to build drones from the ground up, auto mechanics, precision welding, electrical work, and basic programming.
Some experts will fly into Enugu for the period to train them on these skills. It will run from August 10 to August 30.
If this works as planned, then it will give us stronger validation for the skill development program we are currently designing.
Don’t be tired of my experiments. Whatever works, we scale quickly.
