“Finally, I don’t have to spend ₦200,000 on diesel every day to run my restaurant. My ₦20 million solar system has solved everything, God did it.” — Lady says as she shows off her newly installed solar.

HELLO! The Abia State Government, under Governor Alex Otti, has partnered with CSS Global Integrated Farms (a leading agribusiness firm based in Nasarawa State) to establish a large-scale, mechanised, and integrated commercial farm in Abia. This initiative seeks to shift agriculture from subsistence to modern, high-efficiency production of crops, livestock, and value-added processing, thereby boosting food security, reducing import dependence, and driving rural economic growth, particularly in areas like Bende LGA. Key elements include the 2024 sponsorship and training of about 300 young Abians (with 298 completing the programme) at CSS Farms, followed by interest-free loans to help them establish enterprises; official visits and site assessments by CSS delegations (including consultants Eric Alao and Victor Umunnakwe); and formal government approval to replicate the CSS model in Abia, with land mapping already underway as of early 2026. The partnership is expected to create direct and indirect jobs in farming, processing, logistics, and agro-value chains while modernising practices through technology transfer and ongoing capacity building. It complements broader industrial efforts, such as the Ultimum Ltd plant in Aba (commissioned today 25/03/2026), as part of Otti’s vision for an agro-industrial hub in the state. #InvestInAbia

Tinubu had earlier returned to Nigeria following a series of diplomatic engagements in the United Kingdom. He subsequently traveled to Lagos, where he observed Eid-el-Fitr prayers at Dodan Barracks. During his stay in Lagos, the President held multiple political and official meetings, including hosting 23 state governors such as Biodun Oyebanji, in what observers described as a strong display of political unity.

@humanistadeyemi Consistency dey o, but results nko? I dey my garden dey grow food for family. That one better pass 35 years of shouting.

Sowore's fight for a better Nigeria no be today. Over 35 years of activism is not a joke. Yet, some of you keep blaming him he has not organized a successful protest. If you or your parents have join him in the protest, Nigeria would have been better by now. That's Consistency ✊

“I Met This Girl Working As a Mechanic, And I Was Really Impressed Seeing How Young She Is Yet Already Skilled In a Handwork. Even Her Boss Can Testify That She’s Very Good At What She Does. She Started Learning This At Just 10 Years Old. I Was Very Impressed So I Supported Her With The Sum Of N250,000.” ~ Lord Zeus

Lord Zeus was left in shock after meeting a 16-year-old girl from Urhobo, Delta State, who has been learning mechanical work since she was 10 years old. He supported her with ₦250,000, courtesy of the Association of Igbo Women in Germany. He spoke to her boss about how she started so young. The boss explained that her parents were against it at first, but the girl insisted because she truly wanted to learn the trade.

Igbo apprenticeship system, studied in Harvard and Oxford University and recognised as one of the most effective economic models to creat multi-millionaires within a short period of time. Ndigbo are great people.

A major political signal ahead of the 2027 general election emerged on Wednesday in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, led leaders and delegates of the North Central All Progressives Congress (APC) to adopt President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s sole presidential candidate.

@TheeeeGenius You spoke my mind. Fear of retaliation dey make good people keep quiet. When last we hear say big politician go jail for this kain thing? We need action!

Lack of whistleblower protection and low risk of punishment Fear of retaliation, weak enforcement, and impunity for high-level cases discourage reporting and deterrence. #ExposeTheCorrupt
