With gratitude and deep reflection, I made the difficult decision to decline the appointment as Youth Ambassador. This is not out of disrespect - it can be a matter of purpose, timing and conviction.
This is Ifeyinwa Peace Okwudu. The school administrator for Ezzy Nursing College, Enugu.
She earlier suspended Joy Ezeugwu indefinitely for speaking against the rot in Uwani General Hospital, Enugu.
She then arrested Joy Ezeugwu this morning and demanding N10 million for emotional and psychological damage.
A student recently died in her school because of lack of care.
150 more students are in cue to be expelled.

Peter Obi is the first and only governor to reject lands
THEY ARE ALL IGBO MEN
Integrity choke for this side
"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC."
Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian.
As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading.
Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain.
I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party.
As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer.
Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion.
Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope.
I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation.
I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right.
A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO
If you remove bribery and rigging.
Peter Obi is the most gangster politician in the history of Nigeria!
Most gangster!
The fact that he is doing all this without bribing anyone or compromising his integrity.
Im not sure Africa has ever seen this level of honest politics.
Master Strategist has just Cancelled his Trip tonight to Kenya, Rwanda & France. There is Fire on the Mountain, so now is not the time for Holidays. The Fear of Obi Kwankwanso ticket is the beginning of Wisdom. The search for an NDC Factional Leader has begun.. 🤣🤣🤣😮💨
Obidients are now complaining about the cost of nomination forms. Lmaooooo. Politics is extremely expensive in Nigeria the reason Obi has been flying Private Jets around to consult with stakeholders across the country. If Obi can fly PJ, he can also buy a 100m Presidential form.
❝Peter Obi removed poor people's children from school in Anambra State, and said, and I quote - 'Education is not for the poor'... You people, don't whitewash history.❞

@Ojukwu_Bianca Nonsense. This portrays Nigeria as a weak country. A country with no teeth.
Our people are being hunted down and killed, and you came up with this lame ass licking statement.
F**k you
SOUTH AFRICA PROTESTS: SITUATION REPORT.
There is heightened anxiety over the series of anti-foreigner protests, also targeted at Nigerians in select cities in the republic of South Africa in recent weeks. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has expressed grave concern on this situation following a briefing, and has called for more effective control of the situation by relevant host security services.
The images pervading both mainstream and social media depicting violence, carnage and targeted xenophobic killings of foreign nationals and demonstrations characterized by xenophobic rhetoric, hate speeches and incendiary anti-migrant statements by the arrowheads of such rallies, have generated worldwide condemnation .
However, recent public statements of key host government officials including President Cyril Ramaphosa, Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber and Police Affairs Minister Firoz Cachalia, all express total opposition to any form of extra-judicial killing and destruction of properties of foreign nationals as well as anti-foreigner propaganda and xenophobic sentiments which promote or create anarchy in the land.
The protests spearheaded by a local anti-migration movement, in Pretoria and Johannesburg, between 27 - 29 April 2026, witnessed a largely peaceful procession, under the presence of heavily armed police who occasionally sprayed teargas to deter the protesters from engaging in violent activity. There is no recorded killing of any Nigerian or destruction of Nigerian- owned properties during this particular protest. However, two Nigerian Nationals have been reported dead in separate incidents involving security personnel- AMAMIRO CHIDIEBERE EMMANUEL died on 25th of April 2026 as a result of injuries sustained from brutal beatings by military personnel of the South African National Defence Force on 20th April 2026 in Port Elizabeth.
NNAEMEKA MATTHEW ANDREW also died following an alleged interaction with members of the Tshwane Metro Police, and his body discovered at the Pretoria Central Mortuary on 20th April 2026.
This is utterly condemnable and unacceptable.
The Nigeria High Commission is closely following investigations into these unfortunate incidents and Nigeria demands justice be done in these cases.
Another Demonstration is planned for 4-8 May 2026 and President Bola Tinubu has directed that the situation be monitored very closely. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also summoned South Africa's High Commissioner to Nigeria regarding the ongoing situation.
The Nigerian High Commission and the Consulate are in constant communication with relevant host authorities to ensure that the exposure of our nationals to the current tensions is minimized amidst ongoing Consultations with SA's highest authorities.
The president has reiterated that the priority at this time remains the safety of our citizens. Consequently, arrangements are currently underway to collate details of Nigerians in South Africa for voluntary repatriation flights for those seeking assistance to return home. So far 130 applicants have duly registered for the exercise with our mission in S.A, but this figure is expected to rise. Nigerian associations in South Africa are also assisting our mission in this regard.
Nigeria is a frontline state which made great sacrifices towards the liberation struggles of South Africa, a fact which needs to be distilled down to the younger generation in South Africa. Nigerian lives and businesses in SA must not continue to be put at risk, and we remain committed to working with South Africa to explore ways to put an end to this xenophobic pattern. It has become a repetitive wave, most especially prior to elections in South Africa, and anti foreigner opposition parties leverage this situation to garner votes. Nigeria recently signed a memorandum of understanding with South Africa on early warning to protect citizens of both countries, especially in times such as these.
