Again, this is another great talent that has left the country. When a country struggle to keep her best then we do with average.

Check many industries and you see most talented ones leaving for greener pastures.


Well done Crackdon for raising hope and letting the world see that Nigeria is blessed and not always about the bad news that often hit headline

Good...she must really have money

Congratulations to her.. Keep the pace young lady

Great project, hopefully she can continue impacting lives with her generosity

I always tell people, if Government can be really smart enough they can invest heavily in entertainment. Currently, there's no sector of the economy that's thriving like entertainment and imagine all these exports on international stage making us proud and painting the image of the country as the light of Africa.

Pageantry, music and even sports is one exciting thing that government can overhaul and look to attract value for the country.

President Tinubu's istration should look into this

Congratulations.. Enjoy your reign and do make impact as well

Collect the money. I hope you are paid in dollars not naira as the currency is fast depreciating

#GoodLuck to you

Plastic pollution has emerged as a pressing concern in Africa, adversely affecting both the environment and human health. In response to this critical environmental issue, renowned philanthropist and former Nigerian Beauty Queen, Esther Ogechi Gabriel, has embarked on a transformative journey through her NGO, the Ogechikanma Foundation. Esther Gabriel's groundbreaking initiative, aptly named "Recycle to Empower," is designed to empower young girls while simultaneously creating awareness about plastic pollution and the vital importance of recycling.

In a remarkable demonstration of commitment to this cause, last year, through the "Recycle to Empower" initiative, Esther Ogechi Gabriel customized and donated recycling bins to schools in River State. Furthermore, she conducted educational sessions with the students, enlightening them about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution on the environment and the significance of recycling, reusing, and embracing eco-friendly alternatives.

Esther, a ionate advocate for girl child education, ingeniously partnered with recycling companies that collect plastics from the donated recycling bins in schools. In return, these companies contribute monetarily to the schools, primarily focusing on meeting the educational needs of girls. Additionally, the foundation distributed essential school supplies, including writing materials, school uniforms, and school bags, further empowering these young students on their educational journeys.

Presently, the Ogechikanma Foundation is calling upon and seeking partnerships with organizations and companies that share their vision of creating greater awareness and putting an end to plastic pollution in Africa, while further enhancing waste management practices. Esther Gabriel's relentless efforts exemplify her dedication to making a meaningful impact on the lives of young girls and the environment.

Esther Gabriel, Founder of the Ogechikanma Foundation, expressed her enthusiasm for the ongoing mission, stating, "Our 'Recycle to Empower' initiative is not just about addressing plastic pollution; it's about empowering the girl child and shaping a sustainable future. We are eager to collaborate with like-minded organizations and companies to amplify our impact and drive positive change across the continent."

I feel really sorry for the young man.. He must have endured enough to open up and make the case public.

NYSC is such a beautiful experience even though some argue and contemplate on its value to youths particularly. However, when you mirror it well its an opportunity for youths to contribute and be proper role model.

Those who sometimes condemn it are never opportuned and felt the need to justify their inability. I did serve in Lagos and am grateful how this has shaped my life and here am making significant progress.

Congratulations on your achievement Amaka, if at all, am impressed by how you're focused on offering services to the needy

Making Nigeria and Africa proud.

Keep securing the bag and don't forget to invest back home as demanded.

At this time when the nation is faced with uncertainty this one is showing off a fallen cleavage.

She should know better she's beautiful as she is and doesn't have to bare bo0bs like that.


Anyways, Obidients let's keep pushing for the release of our mandate

Gradually the youths are beginning to pick kneen interest in politics and his victory will send signal to young aspiring politicians to remain focused.

Congratulations Mr Ngwu, i hope that the people you represent feel a deep dive into happiness 4 years afterwards

She's even done more project in the North than some of conceited politicians that continue to project themselves as lovers of the masses, an irony of their stance.

Well done Queen

Once Tinubu wins all these guys will be recruited into military with their well built body.

Nigerian youths under Tinubu must be productive for the growth and economic development of the country

By Olusegun Adegoke

In running a business, there are three fundamental characteristics anyone will put forward before hiring a 21st-century CEO. These important characteristics are, among others, Capacity, Energy, and Integrity. Nigeria, as one of the most prominent economies in Africa, has seen the worst times since 1961 during which period almost all sectors of its economy are plunged down, from education to infrastructure, security, and health and the overall economic fortune has remained downward. Today, Nigeria is on the verge of change, one in which the decision to appoint the next CEO of the Nigerian PLC is very essential for its future, its survival, and the prosperity of its people.

With so many challenges facing this nation at this time, a nation which happens to be Africa’s most populous country and the country with the highest number of black people in the world, there is a need to elect a president who has the capacity and experience to go out there and get the ball rolling immediately, not a trial and error situation.

The CEO position is a unique opportunity that has been underutilized by previous presidents and presently, Nigeria stands at a crossroads of great opportunity, but also great risk. For instance, managing Zenith Bank Plc. from the head office as a top executive board member and managing its Oyo state branch as state manager are two different things. So, to achieve good results, you need a person who has managed a bank from a top executive position, with a diverse experience in all strata. From human resource management, people’s management, health care, staff management, economic and financial management, understanding the infrastructure deficit in all 36 states; someone with vast knowledge of ethnic diversity, knowing that the north, east, south or west have over 1000 ethnic groups, knowing that Mr. Mohammed is different from Mr. Chinedu in Onitsha or Mrs. Bunmi in Ibadan, and having a zero-ethnic attachment to any of them, treating them all as one Nigeria, such a person is very important and needed at this time.

The CEO of Nigeria Plc. Requires to be someone who has global experience and knows the difference between having a conversation with a Chinese president or a South African President, someone who understands international politics from a global perspective, this person is different from managing a state with 20 local governments. With such high stakes and the highly competitive nature of leadership in a country like Nigeria, it is paramount for an aspiring CEO or presidential candidate to be a person of Capacity, Energy, and Integrity. These are the fundamental things anybody must use as a benchmark in picking the next CEO of Nigeria PLC.

The issue of Capacity is the competency to pilot the affairs of the country seamlessly, having a clear strategy, and the propensity to use subsidies for production as against consumption. The country needs a CEO who makes a difference, someone with the capacity to grow the country and reshape its economy, and someone who can take charge of our most important resources and partner with other oil-producing countries to “squeeze” it to its highest potential. A leader who can seat with foreign communities and institutions negotiating for the social and economic benefit of the Nigerian PLC. If Nigeria was a branch or state office and we are trying to manage an Ogun or Kano state, then going below the belt can be overlooked. A national Plc., a national bank, a national industry, or a global organization would never settle for less whilst picking a quality leader to lead their company up the radar, they all have a strict policy to ensure only quality men with excessive from a senior national management level, the right capacity, and the experience to ascend the National throne.

Regarding the energy required, to think that managing a WhatsApp group with 250 people is draining, and tedious and requires a lot of sleepless nights, not to talk of managing a Nigerian PLC. it requires someone who wakes up by 5 am and does not sleep till 2 am, someone who is ready to go to work mentally sound and physically agile, someone who can hold meetings for long hours until the work is done, someone who is so energetic that you can wake him in the middle of the night for National discourse and emergence occurrences without him feeling overwhelmed. You can’t manage a complex country like Nigeria without energy and a high frequency of mental stability.

Nigeria needs a leader who is mature in mind and young at heart. Here is where Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who is not only physically fit but mentally aware of all corners of this nation, and can hold conversations without diverging and confusing the difference between agriculture and science comes in handy. As for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it would have been a different conversation ten years back maybe we would not be having this discussion, seeing that Bola Ahmed Tinubu a young and vibrant governor of the great Lagos state whose mental and physical capacity was not questioned at that time. But as we are currently seating on the edge of this new and crucial century, let’s all take time to reflect on how far we need to go and how best we can get there fast.

Lastly on Integrity, for over 50 years Nigeria has earned over $1 trillion from natural resources, but do we honestly look like $1 trillion has ed through this nation? Corruption and impunity has been the order of the day, so in picking a president we need to choose someone that has integrity. Warren Buffet said "when you are trying to elect a leader, where you don’t find integrity but you find capacity and energy, take capacity and energy because you can checkmate integrity. Though, they’ve been questions on the integrity of both Atiku Abubakar and Bola Ahmed Tinubu, nobody has been able to bring them to justice or convict them for any wrongdoing. Of great interest, the United States District Court judgement, from the Northern District of Illinois, took possession of Tinubu’s money over his involvement in drug trafficking, plus, he has also been accused of educational fraud and corruption. This is a source of concern of matters of integrity. A man of integrity but lacks in capacity and energy only benefits himself, but a man with capacity and energy with no integrity can appoint men of integrity and the country at large can put checks and balances in place to ensure integrity is upheld. However, a lack of capacity and energy will hurt the country.

To his credit, Atiku Abubakar as a former vice president of the federal republic of Nigeria created not less than 50,000 direct jobs and 250,000 indirect ones. The innovative-minded icon also transformed Nigeria’s telecommunication sector, in his words “In 1999, Nigeria had less than 500,000 telephone lines. By 2007, we had grown that to over 50 million.” Numerous associations have described Abubakar as one individual who contributed to the development of higher education on the continent of Africa. "No private businessman in Africa has worked harder for democracy or contributed more to the progress of higher education than Atiku Abubakar," the NPCA said. This was after, in 2012, when Abubakar donated $750,000 to the National Peace Corps Association in the United States, "to fund a new initiative featuring global leaders who will discuss Peace Corp's impact." None of which his competitors have ever done.

Atiku created a legacy in the banking consolidation process, which was the first big step for Nigeria's economy during his tenure. He was able to get all the ministers to pledge their for the appointment of a Federal Banking Commission, which ensured the stability of Nigerian banks today. His tenure saw the most stable forex regime, not what we have experienced so far during the APC rulership where the dollar rose from $180 to over $750. Either through the president or as a vice president, Atiku was part of the team that assembled what is arguably the best economic team ever in Nigeria. It was made up of young, world-class professionals some of whom are now political leaders, governors, and world leaders in their own right.

Atiku Abubakar’s achievements are glaring and go on to say, that in a complex situation where we have poor infrastructure, weak healthcare system and struggling educational system, unending crime, and terrorism, Poor human capital development, inconsistent economic policies and corruption, Atiku Abubakar is fit to tackle all issues and lead Nigeria into the promised land.

Therefore, everyone who would be voting come 25th February 2023, ought to read this again, share it with friends and vote for recovery.

A group known as Ngwa Development Initiative (NDI) has called for clarification regarding the whereabouts of the PDP governorship candidate in Abia state, Prof. Eleazer Uche Ikonne who it said has not appeared in public in more than 50 days despite the ongoing campaigns in the state

The group’s president, Daniel Nkasiobi in a statement released in Umuahia said Prof. Eleazer Uche Ikonne the Governorship Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State was last seen in public on the 24th of November, 2022 during the PDP Campaign flag-off held at Umuahia Township Stadium where Ikonne, allegedly collapsed due to health challenges.

“Nobody, not even the PDP and his godfather Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu have come out to say anything about his whereabouts. If Ikonne is sick and incapacitated, why are the Abia Oligarchs hiding his true health status? Why are they playing games with more than Three Million Abians? What are their plans? What are they hiding?

“Is it that there are no men in Isiala Ngwa land or the entire Ukwa La Ngwa to question this funny game being played by Abia PDP? Why are we keeping quiet and watching a few plays with our intelligence?

It stated that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a human being sick. However, “We sincerely pray for Prof. Ikonne’s quick recovery but must ask questions to know what this game is all about.

“Where is Prof. Ikonne? Christmas has gone, and we did not hear a word from him. Not even a New Year message. The elections are in less than two months. What is actually happening? Who are those benefitting from this intentional act of keeping Abians in the dark?”

The group called on all Ngwa sons, daughters, and Abians to step in and resolve this logjam. “We do not want the Oligarchy to mess our professor up”.
