I'm thrilled to announce that my team won 1st place at the University project exhibition for Digital Nigeria Day with our Design and Development of a 3-axis CNC Milling Machine!

@Malc_OE @PeterObi You need not be hateful irregardless of human differences. I spent time to look through all your comments and found out you need to heal just as my country Nigeria needs healing.

Why are you crying because two universities cancelled your speaking engagements, which were likely lobbied for? Why not engage with the university to find out why the events were cancelled, instead of this online grandstanding you are doing here? Please be more responsible in your actions and utterances.

Troubling Developments from the citadel of learning. The reason Universities are regarded as an ivory tower is because its seen as centres for pure, isolated intellectual thought. It's therefore worrisome when they are increasingly pressured to operate outside this norm. Today, I was scheduled to be at Obafemi Awolowo University at 9am prompt to deliver a keynote lecture, before proceeding to Ibadan for the opposition parties' political summit scheduled to commence at 12noon. The invitation was extended to me several months ago, and adequate preparations had been made. Regrettably, I received the news that the event would no longer be held in the University as planned. While such occurrences may be dismissed in isolation, it is important to state clearly that this has now happened more than ten times. This is no longer incidental; it points to a troubling pattern that should concern all well-meaning Nigerians. My alma mater, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka was not excluded. The family of one of the renowned UNN Vice Chancellor late Professor Frank Ndili had planned an annual lecture on his behalf and the inaugural lecture was to be delivered, but on the scheduled date it was cancelled by the University authority. These are not merely personal inconveniences; they raise deeper questions about the kind of environment we are nurturing in our country. Universities are meant to be centres of learning, open dialogue, and the free exchange of ideas. When platforms for constructive engagement are repeatedly constrained, it reflects a worrying shift away from these ideals. This concern becomes even more pronounced when viewed against my engagements across the world, where I have been privileged to speak and interact freely with students and scholars in respected institutions. In the past 24 months, I have delivered lectures in notable universities globally including Oxford University, Cambridge University, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Chicago University, University of Pennsylvania, Imperial College, to name a few. Those environments continue to demonstrate openness to dialogue, critical thinking, and shared learning, values that should equally define our own institutions. We must ask ourselves: what kind of nation are we building if spaces meant for intellectual engagement are gradually shrinking? A country’s progress is anchored on its ability to encourage knowledge, debate, and the contest of ideas, not restrict them. Nigeria must work towards becoming a place where ideas thrive, where knowledge is shared without fear, and where our institutions uphold the principles they were established to protect. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@Malc_OE @Excellent_cyber @PeterObi You need not be hateful irregardless of human differences. I spent time to look through all your comments and found out you need to heal just as my country Nigeria needs healing.

@Excellent_cyber @PeterObi His bad behavior is the cause. No one wants a hater of Nigeria, a terrorist sympathizer and a liar to be in their space.

@BrewsterHerr It’s concerning to see systems introduced without proper planning. I hope this doesn’t result in increased insecurity or unnecessary stress for students in Ife. Student welfare should never be compromised.

@BrewsterHerr I'm pained that not many students or people are on this space right now🤔😔

Whatever I’m doing, Whenever I run into any clip from this woman, I stop what I’m doing and I listen.

This is so true.

@officialEFCC Nigerians have the power and potential to change narratives for their lives helping reducing crime rate. FHG to the world 🌎 NEOLIFE Product that works! Absolute integrity! People are No.1 Equal opportunity for all Nigerians in diaspora 🤝 AND OF COURSE...Long range vision 🚀

Shun Cybercrime, Channel Potentials to Noble Ventures, Olukoyede Tells Youth The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has called on Nigerian youths to harness their talents and energy for ventures that bring honour to the nation rather than engaging in social vices and cybercrime, which ultimately lead to regret and disgrace. Olukoyede who spoke on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in Ilorin at a youth empowerment programme organised by Faitheroic Generation (FHG), warned that criminal activities, particularly internet fraud, might appear lucrative at first but always end in tears for perpetrators. Faitheroic Generation is a national youth empowerment organisation dedicated to building financially independent young Nigerians through freelancing, digital skills, and ethical network marketing in line with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda. “There is dignity in labour, shortcuts through cybercrime may seem attractive, but they destroy futures and reputations. Nigeria’s youths must rise above these temptations and use their potential to build a country they can be proud of,” Olukoyede said. Addressing over 400 youths, the EFCC boss, who was represented by Ayodele Babatunde, Head, Public Affairs Department of the EFCC, Ilorin Zonal Directorate, stressed that unemployment should never be an excuse for criminality. “We understand the challenges young people face, but cybercrime is not a solution. You have gifts and skills that can thrive legitimately. Channel them into productive ventures, and you will enjoy lasting fulfilment,” he added.
