EXPOSED!!! Attn, Governor @m_akpakomiza This is the heartbreaking reality inside the female ward at Ubiaja General Hospital, located in the Esan South-East Local Government Area of Edo State. When mothers, daughters, and grandmothers are admitted here to heal, they are met with decaying beds and stripped mattresses. The conditions are completely dilapidated and abandoned, stripped of human dignity. Over one million residents in the Esan South-East local government council area rely entirely on this single facility, yet it lacks the most basic human necessities. The pain of sickness is compounded by the pain of neglect. Patients fighting for their lives are subjected to absolute indignity, forced to sleep on the cold, bare floor or on thin mats. Families must pack up their own bedding from home just to ensure their loved ones have a clean place to lie down while receiving treatment. It is deeply painful to watch our people suffer like this when billions of naira are budgeted for health at both state and federal levels to fix facilities across Nigeria’s 774 LGAs. While a multi-billion naira hospital is being built in the governor's own community of Udomi, the only hospital serving over a million people here is left to rot. Where is the empathy? Where is the care for the everyday citizen?We are appealing to the humanity of Governor Monday Okpebholo and all relevant stakeholders. Please, look at the people you serve. We call for an urgent, comprehensive renovation and proper medical equipment for this facility. Access to healthcare is a fundamental human right. The people of Ubiaja and the entire Esan South-East community deserve to be treated with respect, care, and dignity in their time of greatest need. #FixOurHospital @JackObinyan @afrisagacity @TallMuye @muhammadpate @IdahosaDennis @Fmohnigeria

SHOCKING!!! ATTN: Governor @CCSoludo This is the condition of New Bethel Primary School, Onitsha, Anambra State , located beside the Central Police Station, right in the heart of Onitsha under your administration. Dilapidated classrooms, broken walkways, rusting roofs, and unsafe learning conditions have become the reality for innocent children whose only desire is to get an education. Despite the billions of naira budgeted annually for education in Anambra State, pupils in this school are still forced to learn in structures unfit for human use. This is not a remote community forgotten by government, this is CENTRAL ONITSHA. The painful question remains: can any government official confidently send their own children to study in these classrooms? While public officials boast about educational excellence, the children of ordinary citizens are left to study in ruins. Parents who struggle daily to send their children to school deserve better. These children deserve safe classrooms, chairs, toilets, books, and dignity. Governor @CCSoludo , Nigerians are watching. This is the time for action, not speeches. Fix New Bethel Primary School urgently. #FixPublicSchools @PeterObi

SAD!!! Attn, Gov @m_akpakomiza This is Okpokhumi Grammar School,Okpokhumi Emai, Owan East LGA, Edo State, the ONLY government secondary school serving three communities in Owan East LGA, Edo State. What you're seeing in these photos is not an abandoned building. Children are actively trying to learn inside it. Every single day. This is the painful reality that 1,768 students wake up to every morning while you sit comfortably in Government House Benin City. Roofs blown off. Walls crumbling and broken. No ceiling whatsoever. Floors cracked, dirty and completely destroyed. And when the rains come pouring down? These classrooms flood completely, sending children home with wet books and broken spirits. Students from Okpokhumi Emai, Ojavun New, and Ojavun Old are sitting inside what can only be described as a glorified ruin desperately trying to build their futures in a place that successive governments have deliberately allowed to collapse around them for decades. Your government has budgeted BILLIONS of naira for education in Edo State. Billions. Yet somehow, this school, the only one these three communities have ever had,has been criminally abandoned and left to rot. And what is your administration busy doing instead? Channeling enormous government energy, time, and resources into the 2027 Tinubu presidential reelection campaign. Governor Okpekholo, the innocent children of Okpokhumi cannot eat political loyalty. They cannot read textbooks under a campaign banner. They cannot pass their WAEC examinations sitting on broken benches under a roof that the next rainfall will destroy completely. These families are not asking for a world-class facility. They are simply asking for walls that stand firm. A roof that holds when it rains. A floor that doesn't turn into a river during the rainy season. The absolute bare minimum that every Nigerian child constitutionally deserves and that your government continues to deny them. And the elected representatives who should be screaming on their behalf? Sen. Adams Aliu Oshiomhole. Hon. Julius Ihonvbere at the National Assembly. Hon. Timothy Okaka at the Edo State House of Assembly all elected by these same communities, all collecting their jumbo salaries and allowances have completely looked away as if these children simply do not exist. The silence and gross negligence from every single one of them is not just disappointing, it is a profound betrayal of the people who trusted them with their votes. When a government funds political rallies, sponsors 2027 reelection campaigns, renovates government houses, and bankrolls endless Abuja trips while 1,768 children study daily under a collapsing, leaking roof that is not an administrative oversight. That is a deliberate, calculated, and deeply callous political choice that history will never forgive. These children have names. They have dreams. They have futures worth fighting for. Fix Okpokhumi Grammar School immediately. No more excuses. No more silence. Share this everywhere. Let all of Nigeria see exactly what happens when votes are harvested and communities are ruthlessly abandoned. #FixOkpokhumiSchool @NigEducation @JackObinyan

EXPOSED!!! Dear Gov @HonBago KIYOLA PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTRE, MAIKUNKELE BOSSO LGA, MINNA, NIGER STATE IS DYING, AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. I need you to picture this. You are a pregnant woman in Kiyola. You are in pain. You walk or if you are lucky, someone carries you to the Primary Health Care Centre in your community. The one that is supposed to be there for you. The one your taxes, your votes, your trust helped build. You get there and the gate is LOCKED. 🔒 Not because it's midnight. Not because of a public holiday. Just... locked. Because there is nobody to open it. Kiyola PHC in Maikunkele, Bosso LGA runs with just TWO staff members and most days, only ONE shows up. ONE person carrying the health burden of an entire community. One soul trying to hold a broken system together with bare hands. There are no working equipment. No adequate medical supplies. No functioning structure to speak of. The facility is a ghost of what a health centre should be walls standing, but the life drained out of it completely. And the Niger State Government? Silent. Comfortable. Unbothered. How does a government collect votes from Kiyola and return nothing but a padlocked gate and one overworked staff member? How do you look a community in the eye and call that healthcare? People are dying quietly in communities like this not from untreatable diseases, but from NEGLECT. From a government that refuses to prioritise the most basic human right: the right to healthcare. We are calling out the Niger State Government TODAY. Fix Kiyola PHC. Employ more staff. Equip the facility. Open those gates for good. The people of Maikunkele deserve better. Every Nigerian deserves better. #FixOurPHCs @muhammadpate

ATTENTION!!! This is the PHC Mandara in Kokona LGA, Nasarawa State, the only primary healthcare centre serving over 6,300 residents, needs urgently intervention. This alarming situation was uncovered by the Tracka team during a community visit to verify reports from residents and assess the true condition of the facility. What they found was shocking. This healthcare centre, which should be a place of healing and safety, has been left to deteriorate beyond acceptable standards. From the pictures, the roof is badly damaged and wide open in several places, exposing patients, health workers, medical supplies, and equipment to rain, heat, dust, and dangerous weather conditions. The ceiling panels have fallen off completely, leaving the building looking abandoned rather than functioning as a healthcare centre. Women come here for antenatal care, children are brought here for immunisation, sick residents depend on this centre for treatment, and emergency cases are managed here under these unsafe conditions. Imagine receiving healthcare while staring at a collapsing roof above your head. Imagine health workers trying to save lives in a facility where the building itself is a threat to life. The walls are weak, the environment is unsafe, and there is also a severe lack of essential medical equipment needed for quality healthcare delivery. This is not the standard rural communities deserve. Public healthcare investments and constituency projects should prioritize facilities like this. Access to healthcare is a basic right, not a privilege. We call on @NPHCDAng, @Fmohnigeria, the Nasarawa State Government, and all relevant authorities to immediately facilitate the renovation, reconstruction, and proper furnishing of PHC Mandara. Healthcare centres should not become hazards to the very people they are meant to protect. The people of Mandara deserve dignity. They deserve safe treatment. They deserve better. This neglect must end now. #FixOurPHCs

SHOCKING!!! Dear @icpcnigeria & @officialEFCC This is Hon. Kelechi Nwogu, MHR, DSSRS, representing Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency, Rivers State, whose recent constituency empowerment exercise reportedly involved the distribution of luxury cars, motorcycles, sewing machines, hair dryers, cash support, and other items presented as “development” interventions for constituents. While such programmes are often publicly celebrated, it is important to critically reflect on what true constituency development should look like, especially when millions of naira in public funds are involved. Across Etche and Omuma, many communities continue to face deeply pressing challenges. Schools remain in poor condition with inadequate learning materials, dilapidated classrooms, and limited access to quality education. Health centres are under-resourced, lacking basic equipment and essential staff, leaving residents to struggle for care that should be readily available within their communities. Against this backdrop, the prioritisation of cars and consumable items as empowerment raises serious questions about development priorities and whether constituency projects are truly addressing the most urgent needs of the people. Empowerment, in its real sense, should not be reduced to isolated distributions that benefit a select few. When public funds are used in ways that largely serve party structures or limited beneficiaries, it risks drifting away from the broader goal of inclusive and sustainable development. Constituency projects are meant to close infrastructure gaps, strengthen public institutions, and improve access to essential services for all, not to be converted into episodic showcases of generosity. A sewing machine may support a livelihood, and a motorcycle may ease movement, but these cannot substitute for functioning schools, well-equipped hospitals, clean water systems, and lasting community infrastructure that serve entire populations. The people of Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency, Rivers State deserve development that is visible in their schools, their hospitals, their roads, and their daily lives, not just in periodic empowerment events. Public funds must remain a trust for collective progress, not selective distribution. Real representation is measured by impact, not display. #GetInvolved

EXPOSED!!! Attn, Governor @m_akpakomiza This is Okpokhumi–Emai Primary Health Care Centre in Owan East LGA, Edo State, left in a shocking state of neglect despite being the only health facility serving over 7,000 residents across Ojavun, Emai, Evbiamen and surrounding communities. This is a facility that should provide essential healthcare services, yet it has been completely destroyed by wind. The wards are exposed, the building is on the verge of collapse, and medical equipment has been ruined. There is no meaningful healthcare service being delivered, even though it is still profiled as “functional” on official records an alarming disconnect between data and reality. This is happening while rural communities remain neglected, with development efforts concentrated in urban areas, leaving underserved populations without access to basic healthcare. Senator Adams Oshiomhole and Hon. Julius Ihonvbere have failed to address this critical issue, choosing instead to prioritise empowerment programmes that do not meet the urgent needs of the people. This is the result of poor needs assessment and misplaced priorities in project nomination and execution. Communities continue to suffer while critical infrastructure is abandoned, despite billions of naira reportedly allocated to the health sector. This is a direct call to the @EdoStateGovt and the @Fmohnigeria to urgently intervene and rehabilitate this facility. The people of Okpokhumi–Emai and surrounding communities deserve access to functional healthcare and responsive governance.

Attn, Hon Minister @BTOofficial & @nigimmigration Public funds released. Contractor paid. Project nowhere to be found. ₦83,284,887.32 was approved and reportedly paid for the construction of Staff Quarters a block of 18 flats (two-storey building) at the @nigimmigration Training School in Orlu, Imo State. But a visit to the site tells a completely different story. When the Tracka team visited the location in March 2026 to verify the status of the project, there was no construction, no materials, no sign that work had ever started. The land meant for the building remains untouched. Staff members at the training school disclosed that the only activity ever carried out there was a survey conducted about two years ago. Since then, nothing has happened. The situation at the training school itself paints an even more worrying picture. Existing staff quarters built just a few years ago are already deteriorating. Weeds have taken over the surroundings, parts of the structures show signs of vandalism, and the entire environment reflects neglect. Staff also revealed that the training school has barely been operational for nearly five years due to insecurity in the area. Yet Govspend records show that ₦83,284,887.32 was paid to Kiya Construction & Properties Ltd in October 2024 for the construction of these new staff quarters. So Nigerians are left with a simple question: if the money has been released, where is the project? Public funds cannot continue to disappear while critical infrastructure exists only on paper. We call on @officialEFCC and @icpcnigeria should investigate this matter and ensure that every kobo of public funds is accounted for. #GetInvolved

REVEALED!!! Attn, Gov @uanamadi During a recent field visit by the Tracka team to Community Primary School in Ayama, Auyo LGA of Jigawa State, the reality on ground was both shocking and heartbreaking. This single primary school, which serves more than 300 pupils from the community, is in a deplorable and dangerous condition that should never be associated with a place of learning. Many of the classrooms are severely dilapidated, with cracked walls, weak and damaged floors, and roofs that have partially collapsed. Ventilation is extremely poor, and some structures are so unsafe that they can only be described as death traps. Yet, these are the spaces where innocent children are expected to sit every day in pursuit of an education and a better future. For more than three years, the community and school authorities have made repeated appeals for help. With little or no government response, residents have tried to carry out minor repairs using their limited resources just to keep the school functioning. Unfortunately, these temporary efforts have not been enough to address the scale of the problem. Overcrowding has also become a major challenge. With very few desks and chairs available, many pupils are forced to sit directly on the bare floor during lessons. Unsurprisingly, this terrible learning environment has contributed to declining attendance, with some children eventually dropping out of school altogether. This situation is particularly troubling considering that billions of naira are allocated to education annually. The contrast between budget figures and the conditions seen in schools like this raises serious concerns that must be addressed. We call on the relevant authorities to urgently intervene by reconstructing the damaged classrooms, providing adequate furniture, and ensuring access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities. Every child deserves a safe and dignified place to learn. Our children’s education should never be a gamble with their lives. It is time to fix our schools and secure their future. #FixOurSchools @NigEducation

SHOCKING!!! Attn, Gov @HyacinthAlia The residents of Okpokwu Council Ward in Obi LGA of Benue State are currently facing a severe water crisis that requires urgent attention. For this rural community, access to clean and safe drinking water has become almost impossible. What should be a basic human necessity has turned into a daily struggle for survival, as families are forced to rely on stagnant pools and shallow pits for water. The water available to the community is not just unclean; it is heavily contaminated with sediment and untreated waste. Women and children travel long distances in search of water, only to return with visibly murky and unsafe sources because they have no other option. The situation has pushed the community into a dangerous reality where survival depends on consuming water that poses serious health risks. This neglect exposes residents to deadly waterborne diseases such as Cholera, Typhoid, and severe diarrhoea. These illnesses spread rapidly in communities without access to safe water and often have devastating consequences, especially for young children and the elderly. There are also serious long-term health concerns associated with consuming water from unprotected sources. Chemical contamination and runoff can gradually damage health over time. In addition, the physical burden of fetching water from distant locations takes a heavy toll on residents. Carrying heavy containers over long distances causes injuries and exhaustion, particularly among young people. The time spent searching for water also means fewer hours for school, farming, and other productive activities, affecting the wellbeing and development of the entire community. It is deeply troubling that in Benue State, widely known as the Food Basket of the Nation, communities are still struggling with such extreme water scarcity. The Benue State Government and the Obi Local Government Council must act urgently before the situation worsens. Immediate emergency relief through water tankers is needed to provide safe drinking water for the residents. In the long term, the construction of solar-powered industrial boreholes will provide a sustainable solution and restore dignity, health, and safety to the people of Okpokwu. No community should have to face the risk of illness or death simply because they lack access to clean water. Immediate action is necessary. #FixWaterCrisis @benuestategovt @FMWR_Nigeria @FMWRNigeria

EXPOSED!!! Children are learning in a mud building with leaking roofs in 2026!!! Attn, Gov @Hope_Uzodimma1 For over 20 years, Central School Orji in Umuduru Community, Isiala Mbano LGA of Imo State has been abandoned to decay, putting the lives and future of innocent pupils at serious risk. A recent visit by a Tracka team member to the school to obtain firsthand information revealed a shocking and heartbreaking reality about the state of learning in this community. The entire school structure is in a terrible and unsafe condition. The classrooms are made of old mud walls that are badly cracked and already at the verge of collapsing. The zinc roofing sheets are worn out and there is no ceiling. Whenever it rains, rainwater pours directly into the classrooms, forcing pupils and teachers to struggle through lessons in wet and uncomfortable conditions. Children are seen sitting on bare dusty floors, while some even lie down or sleep during classes because there are no proper desks or chairs.What makes the situation even more disturbing is the clear case of misplaced priorities. Furniture was reportedly supplied to this school despite the fact that there is no proper building structure to accommodate such items. It raises serious questions about planning, monitoring, and accountability in the education sector. The existing building was not constructed by the government but by the community many years ago through self-help efforts. Till today, the same community continues to maintain the school with the little resources they can mobilize. Currently, community members are trying to raise funds again to construct new classroom blocks because the present structures are no longer safe for learning.The conditions go beyond classrooms. There are no toilets in the school, forcing pupils to use the surrounding bushes to defecate. The school premises are overtaken by weeds, and the entire learning environment is unhealthy and unsafe for children.The headmistress does not even have a proper office. Important school documents and students’ records cannot be safely kept within the school because there is no secure space. These files are reportedly kept in the house of the village head, and when he is not around the school cannot even access important records.Ironically, this same school is regularly used as a polling unit during elections, yet the authorities have failed to prioritize rebuilding it. Despite billions of naira allocated to education in Imo State, this is the painful reality facing children in Umuduru Community. This situation is unacceptable and dangerous. The Imo State Government, the Isiala Mbano Local Government Council, and the relevant education authorities must urgently intervene. This school in its current state should be closed immediately and replaced with a safe, modern learning facility. No child deserves to learn under these conditions. The children of Umuduru Community deserve dignity, safety, and a proper environment to learn and grow. #FixPublicSchools

SHOCKING!!! Dear Gov @_PastorUmoEno This is the terrible state of Community Comprehensive Secondary School, Four Towns, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, as reported by Barrister Inibehe Effiong. This public school, located in the heart of the State Capital near the Secretariat, is in ruins. Classrooms are cracked, roofs blown away, floors broken and dusty. Students are forced to stand to learn during lessons, with little or no furniture, doors, or windows. Classrooms leak heavily during rain, making the learning environment unsafe and unconducive. This is what education looks like in a State that has received over N2.53 trillion in just 32 months and benefits from 13% derivation from oil. This is the same State that produced the current Senate President, yet attracts no meaningful developmental projects for its schools. Instead, empowerment initiatives are manipulated for political gains, with interns and other programs handed out exclusively to party loyalists. The neglect is even more shocking because the current Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ubong Essien Umoh, is an alumnus of Four Towns. The man responsible for overseeing education in the State once walked these same classrooms now left to decay. Meanwhile, public funds are reportedly being spent on luxury SUVs for politicians instead of improving school facilities for students. We call on the Akwa Ibom State Government to immediately direct the Commissioner of Education to renovate and properly equip this school. Children deserve classrooms where they can sit, learn, and thrive not stand in cracked, leaking rooms. Schools should be safe, functional, and conducive to learning. This is more than a single school; it is a reflection of governance that prioritizes politics over human capital. Urgent action is required to restore dignity to public education and ensure that public funds benefit the citizens, especially students. The dilapidated classrooms of Four Towns must serve as a call to action, not a symbol of neglect. Akwa Ibom must show it values its children, its future leaders, and its promise as an oil-rich State by prioritizing education over politics. Immediate intervention is a moral and civic obligation. #FixPublicSchools @InibeheEffiong @NigEducation

BUSTED!!! Attn, Gov @_PastorUmoEno This is the terrible state of Etinan Institute,Etinan LGA, Akwa Ibom State as once-prestigious schools. According to Barrister @InibeheEffiong , the school has fallen into severe neglect, leaving over 2,100 students to struggle under conditions no child should face. Only 27 academic staff are available to educate them, and students contend daily with unreliable water supply, no stable electricity, and classrooms where they live, study, and eat in darkness. The administrative building is dangerously dilapidated, with some areas at risk of collapse, forcing partial evacuations to avoid disaster. Security is poor, with a porous perimeter exposing male and female boarding students to potential danger. Sanitation is appalling, with outdated pit toilets still in use, reflecting a complete disregard for student health and dignity. Boarding life has deteriorated sharply; the number of boarders has dropped from over 500 to fewer than 100 due to substandard welfare and feeding, while reports indicate the school went weeks without any water at all. Even more shocking, Etinan Institute is still regarded as one of the best public secondary schools in Etinan LGA, raising serious concerns about the state of other schools in the area. Meanwhile, key political figures from the locality, including Paul Ekpo, Uduak Ekpo Ufot, Uku Umo, and Uko Essien Udom, continue in positions of authority, yet no meaningful interventions have been made. With public funds reportedly available, this level of neglect is unacceptable. Education is the foundation of society, and the state of this historic institution reflects a deeper failure in governance, accountability, and oversight. Urgent action is required from government officials, educational authorities, community leaders, and philanthropists to restore the school. Students deserve safe, dignified learning environments, reliable utilities, proper feeding, and adequate teaching staff. The decline of Etinan Institute is a warning: neglecting education threatens not only the students of today but the future of our society. Those in authority must take responsibility and act decisively. The time to intervene is now. Restoring this school is not just an act of care,it is a necessity for the generations to come. #FixPublicSchools @InibeheEffiong

We tracked the ongoing rehabilitation works on the Auchi–Igarra–Ibillo–Isua federal road, a critical corridor linking Edo to Ondo and Lagos, are already showing visible progress. As of Monday this week ,emergency palliative interventions are underway to restore motorability and ease the long-standing hardship faced by commuters, transporters, and businesses along this route. This road is more than just a stretch of asphalt,it is a vital economic lifeline that connects rural communities, supports inter-state trade, and facilitates the movement of agricultural produce and goods across southern Nigeria. For years, its poor condition has slowed economic activities, increased travel time, and raised transportation costs. While this intervention is commendable, there is an urgent need for similar attention to other deplorable roads across the state. Bad roads not only hinder economic growth but also create security vulnerabilities, as isolated and inaccessible routes often become hotspots for criminal activities, including kidnapping. Fixing these roads will improve security presence, enhance access to farms, and enable farmers to transport their produce to markets more efficiently, ultimately strengthening livelihoods and boosting the local economy. Sustained investment in road infrastructure remains key to unlocking the full economic potential of the state and improving the safety and well-being of its people.

SHOCKING!!! Dear Gov @_PastorUmoEno In an oil-producing community in Akwa Ibom State, where billions of naira have reportedly been allocated through the NDDC for infrastructure development, residents continue to live without access to even the most basic healthcare facilities. This stark neglect raises serious concerns about accountability and the true impact of public spending in communities that should be prioritised, not forgotten. When the Tracka team visited the only the PHC at Ndon Eyo 2, Ikot Inyang, and Ikot Iyan, Akwa Ibom State, Health Centre serving over three communities with a combined population of more than 4,000 residents, what we found was deeply alarming. The facility, which should be a safe haven for healthcare delivery, is instead a symbol of abandonment and systemic failure. The building is in a state of severe disrepair. There are no functional hospital equipment or basic medical tools to attend to patients. The roof is badly damaged and leaks whenever it rains, exposing both patients and health workers to unsafe conditions. There is no electricity, leaving the facility in darkness and making it impossible to provide care at night or preserve essential medicines. There are no toilet facilities, no running water, and no windows. Several doors have completely fallen off, leaving the structure exposed. This has created an environment where snakes and other reptiles can easily enter the premises, putting lives at serious risk. The absence of these basic features makes the PHC unfit for purpose and dangerous for use. It is unacceptable that communities contributing to the nation’s wealth are left to suffer in conditions like this. Access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. We call on the NDDC, the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Health, and the @Fmohnigeria ,@NphcdaNG to urgently intervene, rehabilitate this facility, and ensure it is properly equipped to serve the people. #FixOurPHCs @aksgovt @ruffydfire

ATTENTION!!! Dear Gov @m_akpakomiza The disturbing reports emerging from Igbinedion Educational Centre, Edo State have once again raised serious concerns about the safety and learning environment within the school. The recent incident involving alleged bullying, intimidation, and suspected cult-related activities among some students has exposed an ugly situation that demands urgent attention from authorities. Schools are meant to be safe spaces where young people are nurtured academically and morally, not environments where fear, intimidation, and unhealthy influence thrive. There are also growing concerns about the physical state of the school environment. Several classroom blocks are reportedly abandoned and left unused, creating empty spaces that can easily become hideouts for misconduct and unsafe activities. Neglected infrastructure within a school setting not only reflects poor oversight but also contributes to an atmosphere where harmful behavior can develop unchecked. The Edo State Government and relevant education authorities must urgently intervene. A temporary closure of the school should be considered to allow for a thorough assessment of the entire facility. All abandoned and dilapidated classrooms should be rehabilitated immediately, while unused spaces must be secured to prevent them from being used for activities that endanger students. Security within the school must also be strengthened. More trained security personnel should be deployed to monitor the premises and ensure that acts of bullying, intimidation, or cult recruitment are completely eliminated. Students must feel protected within their school environment, and parents must be confident that their children are safe while pursuing their education. While accountability is necessary, it is also important to remember that those allegedly involved are minors. Alongside any disciplinary measures, the government and school authorities should introduce professional counseling and mentorship programs to address the underlying issues driving such behavior. Early intervention, guidance, and proper supervision will help redirect these young people toward discipline, responsibility, and positive character development. This moment should serve as a turning point. The safety of students must never be compromised. Immediate action, infrastructure repairs, improved security, and structured guidance will help restore confidence and ensure that the school once again becomes a place where learning and character building flourish. #NoToSecretCult

ATTENTION!!! Dear Hon Minister @GovWike In Abuja, thousands of residents in satellite communities continue to live without the most basic public services,clean water, functional schools, and accessible healthcare. Yet, recent attention has focused on the construction of newly built judges’ quarters championed by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. This raises an important question about priorities in a city where many communities remain severely underserved. Across several communities on the outskirts of the capital, residents still rely on unsafe water sources shared with animals. Families travel long distances daily just to fetch water that is neither protected nor safe for consumption. In the very capital of Africa’s most populous country, this reality continues to define life for many of the poorest residents. Education is also under serious threat. In several primary schools across the FCT, classroom buildings have been destroyed by strong winds and prolonged neglect. With no immediate reconstruction, thousands of children have been left without a safe place to learn. Reports indicate that more than 20,000 pupils are currently out of school because their classrooms are no longer usable. These are children whose future is now uncertain simply because basic infrastructure has not been prioritized. Healthcare facilities tell the same story. Many public hospitals and primary health centres serving these communities remain poorly equipped and overstretched. Patients arrive in search of treatment but are often confronted with a lack of essential equipment, inadequate facilities, and limited medical personnel. For vulnerable residents, especially women and children, this neglect creates serious risks. At the same time, the FCT administration recently announced a Memorandum of Understanding with Chinese authorities on a water infrastructure project. While such announcements may sound encouraging, many residents say they are yet to see any real impact. Water shortages persist across communities that have waited for years for meaningful intervention. This brings a critical question to the forefront: how can the construction of judicial quarters be prioritized over the provision of schools, clean water, and health facilities that directly affect the lives of the poor and vulnerable in underserved communities? Public infrastructure should first address the needs of the majority. Development in the nation’s capital must not ignore the communities that form its backbone. Residents are not asking for luxury projects,they are asking for safe classrooms for their children, reliable healthcare when they are sick, and clean water to survive. The people of Abuja’s satellite communities deserve leadership that puts human needs first. Public funds must serve the many, not the few. #GetInvolved

WATCH VIDEO EXPOSED!!! Dear Gov @OfficialOAU We are told this is a primary school in Okpu Primary School, Igbaji LGA, Kogi State.What should be a place of learning has instead become a dangerous environment for children who attend classes here every day. The structure, built by the community with mud and supported internally with wood, is now severely dilapidated. The walls are weak, the roof is unstable, and the entire environment is unsafe for pupils who simply want an opportunity to learn and build a better future. Rather than prioritizing the construction of proper classrooms, what reportedly reached this school was furniture. But furniture alone cannot solve the problem of a collapsing structure. Desks and chairs cannot replace safe buildings. A school must first provide shelter, safety, and dignity for children before any other intervention can make sense. This situation is unfolding in Kogi State, a state that was governed for eight years by Yahaya Bello. Today, the former governor is facing corruption allegations investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over an alleged ₦80.2 billion money laundering case. The contrast is deeply troubling. While allegations exist about the diversion of billions of naira meant for public service, children in communities like Ibaji Local Government Area continue to receive education inside fragile mud structures that could collapse at any time. Education should never be this risky. No child should have to sit in a classroom built with mud and wood while public resources meant for development fail to reach communities that need them the most. The people of Ibaji deserve better, and the children deserve safe and dignified learning spaces. Election seasons often come with promises of development, yet many communities continue to wait years without meaningful action. The condition of this school reflects a deeper problem of neglect that must be urgently addressed. We call on the Kogi State Government and the State Ministry of Education to immediately intervene by constructing a standard block of classrooms, rehabilitating the school environment, and providing proper learning facilities. The children of this community deserve safety, quality education, and a real chance at a better future. #FixPublicSchools @Emarged @TallMuye @ruffydfire

SHOCKING!!! Dear Governor @m_akpakomiza The condition of Uromi General Hospital in Esan North-East LGA,Edo State is deeply troubling. For more than five years, a hospital that serves over 10,000 residents across 26 communities has been left to decay. What should be a centre for lifesaving care is now a shadow of what it once was. Large sections of the hospital are deteriorating, some even close to collapse. Wards lack basic hospital beds and mattresses, and essential medical equipment is either missing or no longer functional. Patients who depend on this facility are forced to seek care far from home, a situation that places vulnerable residents, pregnant women, children, and the elderly at serious risk. This level of neglect is unacceptable for a public hospital that remains a lifeline for thousands of people. The situation persisted during the administration of @GovernorObaseki , when the hospital’s renovation was not prioritised. Unfortunately, the current government led by Monday Okpebholo has yet to take urgent action to restore the facility. Communities are concerned that while long-standing hospitals like Uromi General Hospital and Ekpoma General Hospital struggle to survive, billions are reportedly being committed to building a new specialist hospital in Udomi village. Residents are asking a simple question: why abandon existing hospitals that already serve thousands of people? The presence of the federal Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital in the same region further highlights the need to strengthen existing healthcare infrastructure rather than leave community hospitals in ruins. The call from the people of Esanland is clear. Governor Monday Okpebholo must urgently prioritise the rehabilitation of Uromi General Hospital. Restoring this facility will immediately improve access to healthcare for thousands of residents who depend on it. Healthcare cannot wait. The people of Uromi and surrounding communities deserve a functional hospital now. Action must be taken before this vital public institution is completely lost. #FixOurHospitals @naijama @TallMuye
