You as common Nigerian can’t even apply for U.S visa. Yet the first family are in the U.S getting Directors seat at the world Cup at almost $100k for all of them. Mind you Nigeria is not even at the World Cup.
When will you people have sense. I’m talking to the APC folks that can’t even eat. When will you guys have brains.
Celebrating a Great Mind, Prof. Barth Nnaji, at 70 and Congratulating a Young Intellectual, Prof. Chimaeze Adi, on His Inspiring Inaugural Lecture
Today, in Enugu, I joined other Nigerians of goodwill in celebrating a great mind—an accomplished scientist, innovator, and one of the pioneers of the E-Design concept—Prof. Barth Nnaji, as he marked his 70th birthday.
The tributes paid to Prof. Nnaji by friends, associates, and admirers reflected the profound impact he has made in engineering, academia, public service, and the power sector.
The occasion also brought back fond memories of my interactions with Prof. Nnaji, especially during my tenure as Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum. We worked closely together on the ambitious initiative to assume greater responsibility for power in the South-East, driven by our shared conviction that reliable electricity remains one of the strongest foundations for economic growth, industrialisation, and job creation. His depth of knowledge, clarity of vision, and practical approach left a lasting impression on all of us.
May Prof. Nnaji’s light continue to shine ever more brightly.
From Enugu, I travelled to Lagos to attend the inspiring 23rd Inaugural Lecture, “The End of Development Economics,” delivered by one of our country’s promising young intellectuals, Prof. Alpheus Bongo Chimaeze Adi of Pan-Atlantic University. The lecture addressed many important issues relating to economics and development.
I first met Prof. Adi during my 2022 presidential campaign. Even then, he distinguished himself as one of our outstanding young intellectuals, demonstrating a profound understanding of economics and development issues.
It was a fitting celebration of two remarkable minds from different generations, whose lives have been defined by excellence, innovation, patriotism, and commitment to Nigeria’s development. -PO
Apparently when they want to evict you from your house because you can’t pay rent due to the harsh economy, when they involve the Nigerian Police, you could get killed too.
RIP to that man. 💔
Please they have not been released.
This is false.
As at today 6:47pm Nigerian time, they are still at the EFCC custody.
They went home yesterday and returned today and have been there since morning.
We are hoping that they get released immediately.
Nigeria in Focus at the ECFR Berlin Roundtable.
Yesterday, at the invitation of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), I had the honour of participating in a high-level roundtable discussion titled “Nigeria in 2027 and Beyond,” held at the ECFR office in Berlin, Germany.
The dialogue brought together policymakers, diplomats, development experts, business leaders, representatives of international organisations, and members of the international media to discuss Nigeria’s future and its role in an increasingly interconnected global landscape.
Our discussions centred on Nigeria’s democratic journey beyond 2027, international affairs, development cooperation, and the need to strengthen bilateral partnerships that can accelerate economic growth and improve the lives of our people. A key focus of the engagement was how Nigeria can deepen collaboration with international partners to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), recognising that they remain the backbone of every productive economy and are indispensable to job creation, innovation, wealth creation, and sustainable national development.
We also exchanged views on strengthening democratic institutions, expanding trade and investment opportunities, promoting regional stability, improving governance, and creating an enabling environment that inspires confidence among citizens, investors, and Nigeria’s international partners.
I was encouraged by the thoughtful contributions and genuine interest demonstrated by participants in Nigeria’s future. The presence of senior representatives from the German Federal Government, development agencies, business associations, policy institutes, foundations, international organisations, and respected global media organisations underscores the strategic importance of Nigeria and the shared desire to see our nation realise its enormous potential.
During the discussions, I reiterated my unwavering belief that Nigeria possesses all the human and natural resources required to become a prosperous, secure, and globally competitive nation. What is required is competent, accountable, and compassionate leadership that prioritises investment in people, education, healthcare, productive enterprise, the rule of law, and strong institutions over politics of consumption.
Nigeria’s future is bright, but only if we make the deliberate choices that will move our country from consumption to production, from poverty to prosperity, and from division to unity. By embracing good governance, fiscal responsibility, and productive partnerships with the international community, we can build an economy that works for all Nigerians and restores our nation’s standing among the comity of nations.
I sincerely thank the European Council on Foreign Relations for the invitation and all participants for a frank, engaging, and constructive exchange of ideas. Conversations such as these remain vital in fostering mutual understanding, strengthening international cooperation, and building enduring partnerships for the benefit of Nigeria, Africa, and the global community.
A New Nigeria Is POssible. - PO
His name is H.E. Peter Obi, aka PO, doing what he knows how to do best by giving Nigeria the right image at home and abroad.
Keep marching on... A New Nigeria is POssible.
Bayo Onanuga quoting Jimo Ibrahim to disparage Seyi Makinde is actually funny. Very funny.
The same Jimoh Ibrahim?
Just google search that name please.
Tinubu just keeps gathering the worst of us to represent this great country.
Jimoh Ibrahim ke? 🤣🤣🤣
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!
Familiarize yourselves with his face, fame, & name. Because his name is Bassey Stephen Etim, & he needs a few introductions.
This 15-year-old Master Etim decided to write his name in Gold by winning the Sterling Bank Online National Mathematics Quiz competition.
He is currently an SS2 student at Dority International Secondary School Aba, in Abia State. Stephen outperformed students from across Nigeria. A superstar is born. 👏👏
Suspension of Examination Fees: A Victory for the People
I received the welcome news of the suspension of the newly introduced examination fees with relief. This is a victory for the Nigerian people.
While I commend the authorities for listening to the widespread public outcry and suspending the policy, it must be said that the fee was an unnecessary burden that should never have been introduced at this time of great hardship, when we should be doing everything possible to invest in basic education and reduce the millions of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
At a time when many families are struggling to make ends meet, access to education should be expanded, not restricted. Education is a fundamental right and a public good, not a source of government revenue.
Imposing multiple fees at the basic education level risks denying many children their right to education. At that stage, the State has a duty to invest in educating and preparing its citizens for productive lives, not to erect financial barriers that keep them out of school.
True leadership is demonstrated not only by making decisions but also by having the humility to reverse policies that impose unnecessary hardship on the people. Many other anti-people policies deserve similar reconsideration.
I thank the citizens, parents, and advocacy groups whose voices made this reversal possible.
A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO
This is the sickbay and a classroom in a public school in Abia State.
19 more like this are currently being built, and education is completely free.
Education is taking back its place in our society.
So here's the gist.
The Pharaoh in Aso rock increased international passport fees from 50k to 100k last year.
He has increased tertiary institutions schools by over 300% since 2024.
Now he has taken WAEC and NECO from 27,000 to 50,000
He also removed general electricity subsidy and cooking gas went from 700 to 2000 within 2 years.
So tell me exactly, you APC b*stards the benefit of supporting Tinubu?
“I Am Not Afraid Of Suspension. I Can Live Without The Senate.” ~ Senator Kawu Sumaila After The Senate Rejected His Motion To Probe Irregularities And Fake Agency Budget Linked To The Office Of The Chief Of Staff To The President, Femi Gbajabiamila. 👀
Tinubu has fully censored the media.
The media killed the Femi Gbajabiamila case. It didn't report that Prince Mathew Adeniyi's father was arrested to put pressure on him.
NADECO is worse than Abacha.
Seyi Tinubu flaunts in the club every weekend with luxury cars.
Habibat Tinubu lives a glamorous lifestyle in the U.S. She bought an apartment in NYC for over 2 million dollars when she was just 22.
Zainab Tinubu has no work we know of, yet she also bought an apartment in New York when she was just 25.
Your entire family siphons off Nigeria’s wealth. The only time you are seen helping the poor is when you want to use them for political gain.
We must remove this family from Aso Rock whether they like it or not.
"The Nigerian people deserve a full and transparent account of what happened... This is not about politics. It is about justice for the victims."
Gov. Seyi Makinde addresses Nigerians, demands transparency into kidnap of school teachers and children.
Two ladies went to visit Mr David Umahi for God knows what. Many says it’s for mekwa.
One of the ladies died naked and Umahi didn’t tell the police immediately, instead an ambulance was brought in to carry the dead body out.
He kept it secret.
It took Sahara Reporters to blow the horny cover open and when Umahi responded, he said they are medical physiotherapists deployed to SERVICE HIM SPECIFICALLY. What kind of service that’s special to him when he has no medical needs that demands physio?
The Umahi Teaching Hospital that he claimed deployed them to him has no business doing such. Umahi has lots of questions to answer.
If a girl dies in the house of a poor man, he will be in police custody by now. Umahi should be in one. That’s the only debate he should be having right now and not with Peter Obi.
Who killed the girl?
Who sucked her breasts when it was opened?
Who stripped her naked?
Do doctors now carry out physio work naked?
Umahi is a culprit
The second that went for the adventurous journey must not be killed and not also be bribed, as she’s the only eye witness alive. We know that what dollars cannot do in this kind of case does not exist.
When Tracy accused him of being a horny goat, he denied it even though no Nigerian believed him. Two months after, one proof seems to be coming out. This cannot be swept under the carpet.
Umahi must not go scot free in this.
