📢New Paper! From @Aloysius_Odii and team @HPRG_Nigeria. Findings highlight how boys and mens' health seeking for STIs is shaped by societal notions of masculinity. Gender responsive and inclusive interventions are essential to improve health outcomes tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Just see the audacity with which someone like this with “social media-only” digital footprints refers to a fellow who has a proven mettle, as ‘uninformed’. Collection of unintelligent folks with no conscience and principle, pathetically making attempts to control narratives. Smh

Too daft and lazy! Even the BHCPF suffered over 70% deficit. Nigeria could not meet its target to self-finance key vaccines by 2021, leading to an extended 2028 deadline by GAVI. Yet it falters. Justifying releasing less than 0.5% of Capital Health Budget is foolish and evil.

In Nigeria, sectors with the least service to elite interests pathetically underperform. Reduced elite-dependency = Collapse of sector (e.g, health, education, power) Increased elite-dependency = Flourishing of sector (e.g., banking and telecoms) Predatory governance!

ENDING THE CYCLE - WHY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE ENSHRINED IN THE ELECTORAL ACT BEFORE 2027 Nigeria's electoral framework has been plagued by persistent legal uncertainty, forcing courts to determine election outcomes. This uncertainty stems from a fundamental failure: the absence of strong regulatory processes backed by express statutory authority. With every election cycle, we rush to amend the Electoral Act. Yet we continue to grapple with the same challenges, leading to continued rounds of amendments. This vicious cycle must end. The 2023 election exposed a critical gap in our electoral legal framework. Despite INEC's deployment of the IReV portal for electronic transmission of results, the Supreme Court ruled that this innovation lacks legal force. The Court held that because electronic transmission is not expressly provided by the Electoral Act 2022 (appearing only in INEC's Regulations and Guidelines), it is not legally binding. And that the IReV portal serves merely for public viewing and is not admissible evidence of results in election petitions. The message was unmistakable: without explicit statutory provision, electronic transmission remains optional and legally inconsequential, no matter how transparent or efficient it may be. This legal gap creates an insurmountable evidentiary burden in election petitions. The late Justice Pat Acholonu, in Buhari v. Obasanjo (2005), doubted that a petitioner could successfully challenge a presidential election. He noted that a petitioner needed to call approximately 250,000 to 300,000 witnesses across electoral constituencies in the country, and even if successful, the president-elect would have completed the four-year tenure, rendering any victory "an empty victory bereft of any substance." This prophecy has proven tragically accurate. No presidential election petition has ever succeeded since 1999. This is precisely because the evidentiary proof of results verification from over 176,000 polling units nationwide is a practical impossibility within the short timelines allowed by law. History offers a proven solution. The June 12, 1993 election remains Nigeria's gold standard for electoral credibility, not because of sophisticated technology, but because of uncompromising transparency. The Option A4 system ensured immediate, open verification at polling units, where voters, party agents, and observers could witness and confirm results before any collation occurred. Despite entirely manual processes, this transparency generated unprecedented public confidence. Both local and international observers acclaimed it as Nigeria's freest and fairest election. If manual transparency could achieve such credibility in 1993, imagine the transformative impact of real time electronic transmission in our digital age in 2026! It would combine immediate verification with tamper proof digital records, delivering the same transparency with far greater efficiency, security, and verifiability. The current legislative process represents a monumental opportunity for the National Assembly to resolve this fundamental issue before the 2027 general elections. Nigerians need a perfect framework for transparency and to restore confidence in the electoral process. Without this amendment, we risk perpetuating the same cycle of disputed elections, protracted litigation, and damaged democratic credibility that has plagued Nigeria's Fourth Republic. The National Assembly must act decisively to embed mandatory real time electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Act, removing all ambiguity and closing the legal loopholes that have been exploited to undermine the people's will. Democracy demands nothing less. Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN February 9, 2026

Someone gets signed at A.Madrid and this man says “everything is not about money”?? 😂😂 What is money to Nigerians??

@Ifeanyichukwuom @Morris_Monye Many thanks, my Oga 🙏🏾🙏🏾

@AgwuP @Morris_Monye I greet you, Prof. Keep the flag flying, your erudition is clear and unmistakable. Proud of you, bro.

Yesterday evening I had dinner with amazing Nigerians in Scotland. L-R: Myself, My younger brother Mr. Jerry-Joe Monye, Mr. Bolaji and Prof. Agwu. We spoke on academics and business. Prof. Agwu, a very young scholar at University of Dundee (written over 50 publications) spoke about his work and it left a profound work on me. He is one to watch out for. Mr. Bolaji is the Owner of Gidi Grills (you can google them) . A multi-million pounds business in Scotland (Aberdeen and Dundee). He spoke about how he started 8 years ago, challenges and strides made. He’s also sponsors lots of Nigerians to work in the UK. I met a few. I daresay his food is one of the best I’ve eaten in the UK. Please visit if you are in the area. Mr. Jerry-Joe Monye. A 1st class scholar from UNIJOS who just finished his Masters in Energy Law (Distinction, Dundee) spoke about his dream for a better Nigeria where policies work.

Data is only powerful when it leads to better decisions, not prettier dashboards. Analysts need to know this.

If you dey with Prince, you go value your time with him over any amount

@Ifeanyichukwuom @Morris_Monye My boss, I greet you 🙏🏾

@Morris_Monye Very nice. Prof. Agwu is a friend and brother. He's indeed a sage.

@Morris_Monye I believe I met 2 of your guests at the HSR Global Symposium in Japan last year.They are both astute Scholars concerning Corruption within the Health Ecosystem in Africa. Attended 2 sessions facilitated by the team, an awesome experience.
