@DavidHundeyin The level of our Youths that engage in cybercrime nowadays are quite alarming. It's quite unfortunate that there're several genuine ways to make money online but most Youths choose the ugly trend. It's still 100% possible to make cool money online without commiting crime.

I have been studying results of this recent JAMB exam. All students that judiciously studied using exams.educare.school did amazingly well. In-short, the lowest score i have seen so far is 303. The students that participated in the National JAMB Readiness Assessment we organized online also did amazingly well. It really prepped them. Any child who doesn't utilize this tool effective is disadvantaged. I wish we had this opportunity in our own time.

Last week, when i stepped down from the car at Ojukwu girls’ hostels in University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, something terrible hit me before i even saw anything else. The smell. Not the kind you can ignore. The kind that stays with you. The kind that makes you wonder how anyone is expected to live like this not to talk of study, dream, or become anything. Bathrooms you can’t step into without holding your breath. Water that doesn’t run. Windows open for "Window Men" to steal at night. Doors that don’t lock. Rooms packed beyond capacity. No privacy. No dignity. Just young girls trying to survive each day in a place that quietly strips them of self-worth. And that’s where the conversation everyone avoids begins. Because what happens next is not random. When a teenage girl cannot bathe safely… When she cannot sleep in peace… When her own hostel feels like a punishment… She starts looking for an escape. Not because she’s wayward. Not because she lacks home training. But because she’s tired. Tired of managing filth. Tired of feeling less than human. So a man offers a better space, a cleaner room, water, light, comfort. And slowly, survival turns into compromise. It doesn’t start with “promiscuity.” It starts with relief. Then comes dependency. Then comes pressure. Then comes mistakes that carry lifelong consequences. And one day, she’s pregnant. And society, in its usual cruelty, asks: “Where are her parents?” “Why are girls like this?” But nobody asks the harder question: What kind of environment did we abandon her to? We keep pretending morality exists in isolation. It doesn’t. Environment shapes choices. And when you place teenagers in conditions that constantly strip them of dignity, you shouldn’t be shocked when they begin to make desperate decisions just to feel human again. This is not just about dirty hostels. This is about how a system quietly pushes young girls into situations they never planned for and then turns around to blame them for surviving it. If we’re serious about reducing teenage pregnancy… If we truly care about protecting the future of these girls… Then we need to stop looking away. Because sometimes, the difference between discipline and desperation is just the condition of where a girl lays her head at night.

The Attack on the GUO Bus Along Benin–Ore Expressway: Condemnable. I received the devastating report of a violent attack on a GUO transport bus travelling along the Benin–Ore Expressway, where armed kidnappers reportedly ambushed the vehicle, killed the driver, and abducted all passengers into a nearby bush. Sadly, this has become an increasingly distressing and recurring story. This is yet another heartbreaking reminder of the worsening insecurity on our highways and across the nation. No society can truly thrive under such conditions of fear and uncertainty. The impact of this crisis now cuts across all sectors of national life and development. Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) are being severely affected. Transporters are losing passengers, while traders and business owners are losing customers who can no longer travel safely to access goods and services. Economic activity is being quietly strangled by insecurity. We must urgently confront this situation and take decisive steps to improve security across the country, especially for ordinary Nigerians who cannot afford the option of air travel. We must rethink and strengthen our national security architecture. The protection of lives and property must remain the foremost responsibility of the state. Anything less is unacceptable. May God protect our people and grant comfort to the families of those affected. -PO

Today, Wednesday, I had the honour and privilege of hosting the European Union Ambassador to Nigeria, His Excellency, Mr. Gautier Mignot at my residence in Onitsha. It was an enriching meeting as we shared some useful conversations. -PO

We are doing this for our children and future generations to come. UNN students are living in conditions no one should accept. Meanwhile, funds have been released for hostel maintenance. So we asked for the records. All of it. They have 7 days to respond. If they don’t, we go to court.

Nigeria Is Bleeding From Within It is deeply troubling to read recent World Bank reports indicating that, while Nigeria’s Federation Revenue surged to ₦84 trillion in just three years, a staggering 41% —amounting to ₦34.44 trillion —never reached the Federation Account. This sum exceeds the combined ₦34 trillion earmarked for capital projects in the 2024 and 2025 Appropriation Bills, a comparison that underscores the gravity of the situation and signals that something is fundamentally wrong. This is not a mere oversight; it points to institutionalised corruption on a massive scale. In 1994, when the Okigbo Panel reported about $12.4 billion from the Gulf War oil windfall as unaccounted for, Nigerians were outraged and the nation shook with indignation. Today, an even more troubling situation appears to be unfolding, yet it is met with a disquietening silence. We are trapped in a lethal paradox: Earning more as a nation, yet having less to invest in healthcare, education, and infrastructure. From 2025, systemic “deductions” have allowed agencies to capture more resources than entire states and even critical ministries. These leakages explain why countries with fewer resources are out-performing us across key development indices. With such a broken system, how can we fix power, strengthen our schools, build resilient healthcare, or develop critical infrastructure? Nigeria has no business being poor. We must stop these leakages through disciplined, transparent leadership driven by character. It is time to redirect our hijacked resources back to the people and move Nigeria into the league of developed nations. With our collective resolve to change this corruption-infested system, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@B_abiodun44 @SaharaReporters What if she is a visitor to that area and completely unaware of the culture and no one informed her? The idea of continuous flogging as a punishment does not change anything if she has committed sacrilege. She was subjected to inhuman treatment for merely freedom of movement

DISTURBING VIDEO: Masquerade Brutally Assaults Woman During Urheovware Cultural Festival In Delta State

Fellow Nigerians, It is time for every eligible Nigerian — young and old, in the cities and in the villages, at home and in the diaspora to take two decisive steps: 1. Register to vote with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) without delay. 2. Register with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). - RMK

This is what a Nigerian doctor, Dr. Ikechukwu Anoke of Zuri Health Solutions Ltd is doing in Kenya. A mobile health clinic for rural areas. He tried doing this in Nigeria, but politicians frustrated him and eventually wanted to hijack the project, and even when he tried to adjust to these challenges, issues of insecurity made it practically impossible for him to replicate in rural communities in Nigeria. Nigeria's loss, Kenya's gain.

Good People, I am delighted to share that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has granted my company Approval-in-Principle (AIP) to operate a new securities exchange in Nigeria. This is a full-service exchange (yes, “stock market” lol) designed to support public markets, private markets, and derivatives, covering instruments such as equities, corporate and government bonds, commercial papers, ETFs, and more. Our mission is anchored on “exchanging prosperity” through the principle of “investment inclusion”, transforming idle money into productive capital that can uplift communities across the nation.  Roughly ₦5 trillion in circulating currency sits outside Nigeria’s banking system, largely idle and earning nothing. If we can channel even 50% of that into simple sovereign instruments, say FGN savings bonds or Treasury Bills at just 10%, that would generate about ₦250 billion in returns for citizens, while also providing the government with capital to fund development. Extend this across state bonds and other instruments, and the implication becomes clear: Nigeria is not short of money; it is under-mobilized. Contisx aspires to become part of the solution. We have begun the countdown to launch on our website: contisx.com — targeting September 2026. We are inviting stakeholders across Nigeria to participate in this journey. How can we support your business, cooperative, or state to scale through the capital market? (The live buttons on website are not active; those will become active on launch). I commend the leaders of our nation for the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025, arguably the most consequential economic and business legislation in Nigeria since 1999. It provides the foundation upon which a new era of capital formation can be built. I am confident that the 2030s will become Nigeria’s decade of capital, and I am building with that conviction. I also extend my appreciation to the leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission; our Director-General, Dr. Emomotimi Agama, Commissioner Ajomale, Director Mrs. Rufai, and the entire team, for their dedication and excellence in advancing regulatory service. Good People: “build, list, and trade on Contisx — we’re exchanging prosperity”, not just for the rise of few, but for the rise of ALL. Our flag is up in our headquarters in Owerri (regional centers in Aba, Kano, Ibadan, etc coming); we welcome you to partner with Contisx and ring the bell to prosperity. Prof. Ndubuisi Ekekwe Founder, Contisx Securities Exchange Plc

Here is the registration progress for 2027 South East Maths Olympiad. We will resume school maths evangelism from Tuesday. We will close out the registration at 150k participants to enable us plan better.

Nigeria is not yet a country. It’s a British experiment that failed.

This star boy Onwubiko Chimdiebube Victor from Evergreen Schools Enugu will grow up to become one of the greatest scientists in Africa. He is currently in JSS3 and already tearing Engineering Maths apart. He is the only person that got a perfect score at elimination stage for South East Maths Olympiad. He also won first position and got the N3 million Junior category prize. He will be going to Rome this July to bring home our Gold at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale. He will be competing with 154 countries.

After my visit to Joy Ezeugwu today in Enugu, the administrator of her formal school (Ezzy College of Nursing, Enugu) is threatening to sue Joy for N10 million for emotional and mental damage caused by the shared recorded conversations. That woman is a tyrant with a very low IQ. She is about to suspend another set of 150 students in her school. We will use her to set example for those that oppress their students.

This is 11:17pm Awka, Anambra state time and you can see that South East teachers are still dancing. They have been longing for an opportunity where like minds can come together and celebrate. We will create more of these moments in the South East.

Today, we visited this facility that we may likely use for our first cohort for Igbo Apprenticeship redesign project in Enugu. The empty land beside it will be used for the warehouse construction. The warehouse is for plumbing, welding, bricklaying, auto mechanics etc trainings.

Today, I visit University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (UNEC) and I saw first hand the deplorable state of the female hostels. The students are really suffering. Their hostels are constantly being robbed at night because of bad windows. Their toilets are a mess and environment bad.

Yesterday, I asked different students in UNEC what their plans are after graduation and all of them said "Leave the country". I also asked them, what they like about the school and the responses were "Nothing". We need to declare state of emergency in Education NOW.
