Nnamdi Kanu sentenced to life after 10 yrs. You may not agree with his style, but he stood for something. SE politicians, governors, what do you stand for? Judiciary, legislature, executive arms, are all on trial. Nigeria expels its best, upholds mediocrity.

Minister @AlakeDele spoke of @officialABAT inheriting security challenges & alleged lobbyists fueling genocide narrative. But it’s the same party @OfficialAPCNg, midwifed by @officialABAT before 2015. What matters now is what you do with power. Will you outperform expectations?

China supports Nigeria against America, preferring non-interference in local affairs. Fair. Nigeria should borrow a leaf from China that lifted 800m from poverty over 40yrs. A failed government, unable to protect & provide loses legitimacy. Get to work!!!!

Whether America designates Nigeria a country of concern or not, our politicians are devious, untrustworthy, aiding & abetting criminality. They already collaborate with foreign players to undermine our country, so pls give me a break!!!! The victims are Nigerians.

I travelled to China recently on the invitation of People’s Daily, the country’s most influential daily. I recommend a visit to all. You’ll learn a lot. Here’s my article for THISDAY Newspaper upon return. Enjoy:

Mikel Obi says the entire NFF board should resign if Nigeria fails to qualify. Do you concur? Not a football fan but I think it’s a hot mess!!! Meanwhile, the women - Super Falcons, D’tigress doing absolutely fantastic!! Thank goodness!!

You have to admire the resilience of Ethiopia - launching the largest hydro-power dam in Africa, in spite of obstacles. It cost of $5bn, 91% funded by their central bank, remaining by bond and local donations - no foreign borrowing. Lessons for Nigeria.

Gen Z protests in Nepal forced the PM KP Sharma Oli to flee in a helicopter. Shows power of collective action. The people outnumber so-called leaders. If you barricade them for a month, they’ll all run away.!!! Bad governance must end, including in Nigeria

Sujimoto crying on social media for fraud allegations (N5.7bn) by Enugu state does not cut it. Some things are better off these platforms. He’s in EFCC net, & will have a chance to defend himself. Just deal with it like a man!!

Dangote & NUPENG at each other’s throat, with serious economic implications for all of us. Should we fight monopoly? Hell, yes!! Should crippling inefficiency remain? No. We have to land somewhere in the middle. Watching to see who blinks?

Took less than a yr to arrest, try, convict, sentence Simon Ekpa in Finland. In Nigeria, Nnamdi Kanu has been languishing in detention since 2021. Prolonged punishment without judgement makes mockery of our justice system. Not a viable way to build a nation.

Former Gov. Nasir El-Rufai claims govt is bribing bandits to secure peace, amidst denials by NSA. Interestingly, during his tenure, same El-Rufai reportedly paid herdsmen. One thing is obvious: insecurity in Nigeria is a massive business. Shady stuff.

Court freezes ex-NNPCL GMD Mele Kyari’s accounts over suspicious transactions. Real anti-corruption drive or political drama? #CorruptionWatch #EFCCProbe #DrConstanceIkokwuInsights

60% of public teachers lack digital skills; 70% of students lack basics. Is Nigeria’s education system on the brink? #EducationCrisis #UBECReport #DrConstanceIkokwuInsights

Defense Chief Musa says rising insecurity is fueled by politicians ahead of 2027 polls. Genuine link or shifting blame? #NigeriaPolitics #InsecurityCrisis #DrConstanceIkokwuInsights

Osun monarch Joseph Oloyede jailed in USA for 56 months over $4.2m Covid-19 relief fund. Can you imagine? I tell Nigerians that what you do in your little corner will be magnified when you get into power. All of us, not only leaders, are the problem of Nigeria. Embarrassment!

Enugu rebuilds a 62-year-old hotel first built by Dr. Michael Okpara. Boost for tourism or another political showpiece? #EnuguTourism #NigeriaHeritage #DrConstanceIkokwuInsights

Really sad to see the derailment of the Kaduna-Abuja train. I’ve used that train severally & it is a fabulous, comfortable, serene ride. Frequent incidents bad for the image of our transport system. They need to get a hang of it.

The FG has suspended new universities & polytechnics for 7 years, citing low enrollment & poor infrastructure. Reform to boost quality—or a move that limits access? #EducationPolicy #TertiaryBan #DrConstanceIkokwuInsights

Plan by RMFAC to review salaries of President & other political officers should remain at just review, not increment. Timing is off. Wages are stagnant for many Nigerians too. Besides, Pres. Tinubu’s wife Oluremi said they’re rich & do not need our money.
