Our Children Deserve Enhanced Learning Environments. Today, May 21st, I had the opportunity to visit Practising Primary School in Agulu, my hometown, which has been a cornerstone of education since its establishment in 1922. Unfortunately, the school suffered significant damage from a fire last year, resulting in the loss of a historical building that had educated generations. During a previous visit, I committed to supporting the school's reconstruction and to helping create a modern, supportive environment for the students. This morning, I was pleased to return and deliver an initial amount of 10 million Naira to help initiate the rebuilding process. Education is a crucial investment for any community, and restoring schools is essential for renewing hope and ensuring a brighter future. I also took the time to engage with the students, encouraging them to take their education seriously. Their future will be shaped by the discipline, effort, and dedication they demonstrate today. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Desmond Elliot crying over the rigging of the APC primary is hilarious. Is he saying he doesn’t know that rigging got him into the same House of Assembly?

When Akpabio and his cronies brag about the votes they’ll manufacture for Tinubu in 2027 in Akwa Ibom, this is the template he is going to deploy. The funny thing is that most of the people here cannot afford their basic needs. But they’re willing to support their enemies and oppressors because of the peanuts they’re getting and sentiment that their “brother” is also benefiting from the rotten Nigerian system.

Man complains bitterly about the poor 1.3 billion Naira Smart School Governor Peter Mbah built in his village. What kind of wickedness is this? Peter Mbah will be too terrible if he comes for second tenure.

Instead of declaring a strike action or going on protest at a minimum over the kidnap of their colleagues, the clowns leading the Nigeria Union of Teachers in Oyo State are embarking on a 3-day fasting and prayers. They are even making silly excuses for the government. The same government that has failed to protect life and property? We have a lot of sick people in this country.

Education Challenge: Not Funding but failure of leadership and Accountability. The recent comments made by the Minister of Education are quite alarming. Despite receiving nearly 80% of educational donor funding over the last ten years, the North-West and North-East regions still show the lowest literacy and numeracy rates in Nigeria. This issue goes beyond just a lack of funding; it highlights failures in leadership, accountability, and governance. Financial resources alone do not guarantee proper education. What truly makes a difference in education is the responsible and transparent management of these funds, aimed at achieving tangible results and a genuine commitment to developing human capital. We cannot continue to commend government budgets, donor contributions, and various intervention programs while millions of children in Nigeria still lack basic reading and writing skills, which are essential for thriving in today's world. The real tragedy lies not just in the numbers, but in the lost potential of countless children whose futures are being compromised by systemic inefficiency and corruption. Nigeria’s most valuable asset is not its oil, politics, or propaganda. It resides in the human capital of our youth. A country that overlooks education is essentially setting itself up for cycles of poverty, insecurity, unemployment, and instability in the future. The Minister’s statement should prompt a national dialogue on how public funds and donor contributions are utilised. Every kobo spent on education must lead to clear improvements in literacy rates, school enrollment, teacher performance, and overall learning outcomes. Anything less is unacceptable. Countries that have developed successfully, or are on the fast track to development, have made substantial investments in education. Nations like China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh have recognised the invaluable impact of education on progress and growth. Now, Nigeria must transition from mere discussions about education to achieving real outcomes. We need to construct schools, train teachers, modernise educational systems, enhance monitoring processes, and ensure every intervention directly benefits the children it is meant to serve, rather than being siphoned off by political intermediaries and bureaucratic systems. A nation’s progress is closely linked to the quality of its education system. A brighter future for Nigeria is achievable! -PO

~ The most exhausting thing about Nigeria is Nigerians themselves. Everybody is trying to outsmart, exploit, or rip off the next person at the slightest opportunity. Even people offering the smallest services will attempt to take advantage of you if you’re not extremely careful. At some point, we need to stop blaming every terrible behaviour on poverty and admit that greed, selfishness, and a lack of integrity are deeply normalized in this country. It’s honestly sad and exhausting to live around it everyday.

We talk about roads, power, water, housing, education, health, transportation and the cost of living because they affect our quality of life. But Lagos doesn’t change just because our complaints are loud; it changes because we’re involved. Your PVC isn't just a card, it’s your seat at the table. It’s the way to ensure the future of Lagos isn't decided without you. Phase 3 of the Voter Registration started 4th of May, 2026 and it's still ongoing. Don't just watch the future happen. Participate. Decide. Create it.

Once again Peter Obi emerges as the Top Presidential Candidate of a Leading Nigerian Political Party w/out sharing 1 Dollar in the Primaries to any Delegates. We No dey Give ShiShi No be Lamba. 🤣

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training. In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table. The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed. 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/…

Ladies and Gentlemen of Nigeria. We have a country to rescue. Get your PVC.

A nigga like Chessman for dey United Nations dey narrate how him dey save children wey Obi dey impoverish. Live and Direct. 😂😂😂

Had a good conversation with HE @peterobi. Shared vision. Same drive to fix a system that has failed too many. The road to a new Nigeria will be birthed through united voices and well-governed states. Here's to the work ahead. #OTiYa #ItIsTime

One form. One mission. One movement. Last week, I picked up the NDC expression of interest form for the Lagos State Governorship election. Advancing our promise to Lagos, - right principles, right path, right process. #OTiYa #ItIsTime #NDC

A 7 minute video of expected assists. 7 minutes.

A Nation Losing Its HUMANITY. Some events shatter a society so deeply that words are no longer enough to express the shock; the brutal killing of a teacher and the horrific rape and murder of an elderly woman are among such tragedies. These are not isolated incidents but signs of deeper moral and social decay. How did we get here? How did we reach a point where teachers are hunted and killed, and the elderly—custodians of memory and wisdom—suffer such dehumanising violence? This is more than a security crisis; it is a failure of collective humanity. We have become desensitised, consuming tragedy briefly and moving on, allowing indifference to normalise the unacceptable. To the families affected, I share in your grief. But grief alone is not enough. We must demand accountability and urgent systemic change. If such atrocities no longer move us to action, then we risk losing our shared humanity. -PO

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s. Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph. You too can connect the dots: 1000reasons.vote/looters

Just like Shearer, his view completely changes because it’s Manchester United. Exposing them #MUFC

Nigerians don’t have principles and values, minus the illiteracy, many of us, even the educated ones stand for nothing.
