"A trailblazer Exits. I have received with profound sadness the news of the passing of a dear elder sister Prof. U. Joy Ogwu Nigeria's former foreign minister as well as former permanent representative of Nigeria to the United Nations. Prof. Ogwu was a cosmopolitan.

"Yesterday Tuesday 14th October for the third time I was delighted to honour the 3rd invitation to commission projects attracted by Honourable Lilian Orogbu member representing Awka North and Awka South Federal Constituency who continues to demonstrate what purposeful representation truly means. The 1st was the commissioning of X new classroom blocks at a Secondary School in Achalla and thereafter X classroom blocks at Okpuno both in Awka North to foster education in the State.

"Yesterday after my commissioning event at Awka North & South Federal Constituency I joined the Labour Party Anambra Governorship Candidate Dr George Moghalu on his campaign community tour to Achalla town Anambra State. It was heartwarming to see that Dr Moghalus message resonated deeply with the people because it is rooted in the same values I have always stood for: service accountability competence and compassion for humanity. I have no doubt that Dr @MoghaluGeorge will lead the people of Anambra with a sincere heart prioritising the welfare of our people particularly in critical areas such"

"As the world marks the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty it is a solemn reminder for our nation that poverty is now a daily reality for millions of people especially when our nation remains the country in the world with the highest number of people living in poverty. According to recent World Bank reports over XXX million Nigerians now live in poverty a figure that shockingly represents more than half of our total population reflecting not only deep economic hardship but also years of failed leadership misplaced priorities systemic corruption policy failures and an absence of"

"Back and Forth Policy on Mathematics: A Costly Mistake. Following the outcry of concerned Nigerians over removing Mathematics like the English Language as a compulsory subject for admission into tertiary institutions the Federal Ministry of Education has clarified that it will remain a compulsory subject only in school certificate examinations. In my humble view this clarification changes nothing fundamentally. If Mathematics remains compulsory in school certificate examinations but not for university admission the effect is practically the same. Students who intend to pursue Arts in tertiary"

I extend my deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones to the affected communities and to the government of Niger State.

"I have read with keen interest the recent IMF report listing Africas fastest-growing economies and I cannot help but reflect on Nigerias absence from that list. These nations are not richer than us in natural resources but they have become richer in discipline leadership and commitment to improving their people and their human capital. They are growing their economies through investing in critical areas of development education healthcare and pulling people out of poverty while ensuring fiscal prudence and stability. Our own economy sadly continues to struggle under the weight of poor policy"

"In our country today hunger and poverty are not just distant statistics they are the harsh reality that millions of our people face daily. Recently the United Nations stated that about XX million Nigerians will face acute food insecurity and abour XX% of our population which is about XXX million people now live in multidimensional poverty. Inflation even with the suppressed statistics is nearly XX% while unemployment and economic mismanagement have nearly wiped out our once vibrant middle class. Families who once lived stable lives are now slipping into poverty. But this is not just ordinary"

"The unfortunate and dishonourable drama witnessed in Ibom Air has again brought to the fore the double standards in our lives and the inadequacies of our various security operatives in acting decently and in a civilised manner. I want to start by sincerely apologising to the Ibom Air crew who were assaulted by Miss Comfort Emmanson. We must as a society learn and uphold good conduct as it is a true measure of success and decent living. However I must equally strongly condemn the dehumanising treatment meted out to this young woman. Stripping her publicly was not only unnecessary but also"

"Lest we forget If I Don't Give You Constant Electricity in The Next X Years Don't Vote For Me For Second Term The impact is too glaring for Nigerians to forget the promise of Mr. President while campaigning on 22nd December 2022 that: "If I Don't Give You Constant Electricity in The Next X Years Don't Vote For Me For Second Term". For a nation already stated to have more people living without electricity than anywhere in the world there could not be any more firm comforting political promise than this. Yet APC and its current Government have presided over more national grid failures and power"

Another iconic figure John F. Kennedy did not even complete a full term yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa Nelson Mandela revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership a statement that power must serve the people not"

"When will Nigerians truly breathe A timely and relevant question as a new X% tax on all refined fossil fuel sales including petrol and diesel has just been announced by the Federal Government. That is Nigerians will pay a X% tax when buying their everyday fuel or diesel at a time when millions can hardly even afford the cost of transportation. Mr. President just yesterday boasted that Nigeria has met its revenue target for the year. Yet instead of easing hardship the government imposes more burden on Nigerians. Even the so-called alternative CNG has become unaffordable rising from about 230"

Her remarkable journey from solicitor to the Bench with over XX years of legal practice and seven years of judicial service stands as a testament to hard work integrity and professional excellence.
