004gist: Earlier today, I accompanied the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, CON, as he commissioned the Ogbo Central Smart School in Ipupe, Ubakala, Umuahia South LGA. This is the first of 20 Smart Schools to be delivered across the 17 Local Government Areas and three senatorial districts of Abia State.
The future belongs to societies that invest in knowledge, innovation and technology. That is why we are transforming public education into a technology-driven system that prepares our children not just to earn certificates, but to compete, innovate and lead in a rapidly changing world.
Each Smart School is equipped with interactive learning boards, tablets for pupils, trained teachers, a sick bay, modern security systems and a learning environment that promotes creativity, excellence and character.
Yesterday, we launched the Manufacturing Technology (Manu-Tech) University Innovation Pod (UniPod) at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, with the support of the Federal Government, TETFund and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Today, we commissioned a Smart School. Together, these investments reaffirm our commitment to building human capital as the engine of sustainable economic growth.
We continue to dedicate 20% of our annual budget to education through improved infrastructure, teacher recruitment and retraining, and our policy of free and compulsory basic education. Every child in Abia deserves the opportunity to dream, excel and succeed.
I urge parents, guardians, community and religious leaders to join us in shaping children of character and protecting these public assets. Anyone found vandalising school infrastructure or extorting pupils or parents will face the full weight of the law.
I thank the Honourable Minister for honouring us with his presence, and commend the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Goodluck Chinedu Ubochi, and his team for their dedication to this transformative project.
Tomorrow is the reward for the investments we make today, and together, we are building a brighter future for every Abia child.
I love this man's spirit. I wish soludo could leave pride and who aloft petty professor and learn from men who have done and are doing the work.
Meanwhile, we don't really know yet what a smart school look like. This is not a smart school but a class with television.
Lithiumite: And those by products of our manifest olodo culturisation will be shouting tinubu should give them 24hrs electricity like he will just pul it out of his arse...... dey dia dey wait make tinubu give you 24hrs power,noh go ask your state gov what he is doing to leverage the power sector decentralisation act tinubu already put in place.
Abia,lagos,bayelsa are already trailblazers in this regard and the electricity act 2023 and the electricity amendment act 2024 & 2026 signed by tinubu has made this possible.
What you write is like an advert to market a vulture.

Tinibu then is the chief olodo because he promises to give 24hours power supply or be voted out.
Gpropertys: Imagine a Lagos where homes and businesses no longer depend on generators.
The Lagos State Government is quietly rolling out one of the biggest power reforms in Nigeria's history—from a 2,000MW electricity expansion to dedicated power plants for Victoria Island and an independent 24-hour power grid for Eko Atlantic.
Could this finally be the beginning of the end for "I pass my neighbour" generators?
More importantly, what does this mean for businesses, property prices, and everyday Lagosians?
We broke everything down in this video with facts, visuals, and simple explanations.
Do you think Lagos can truly solve its electricity problem, or is this just another promise? Let's discuss.
Nothing is yet in ground but noise has filled the room. A typical nigerian politics. After 10 more years from now nothing to show still on this matter.
“We used to have ghost workers, because we didn’t do anything now we have ghost agencies. Soon we will have ghost ministries, ghost governors & ghost president.”
The same man who advised that terrorists are prodigal sons and should be treated with care is now ordering kill at site. The fear of llsing to PO in 2027 general election is beginning to look then clearly in their face. However Nigerians have moved on. Tinubu had never and will never win presidential election in Nigeria. So they should double their energy towards rigging as usual. But this time around they will rig to their doom.
Vixlot: Peter Obi, up to this moment, is pursuing the division of Nigeria because he believes in Biafra. He never condemns Biafra or IPOB, as he wants to divide Nigeria. He should come out and say if he doesn’t believe in the division of the country.

Nigerian man mocks South Africans after buying a Maybach worth over $500,000 in South Africa, wait for the full Zulu outfit😂🙆🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/vs6pP9dadi
A Nigerian man sparked widespread outrage online after a video of him mocking Zulu culture from inside a luxury Maybach car went viral on 5 July 2026 in Cape Town.
The clip, shared by @realyobarnub on X, shows the man dressed in traditional Zulu attire in his car, which is valued at over $500,000 (approximately 9 million rands).
Laughing alongside his friends, they all rhymed, saying "I'm not getting back, I'm in a Maybach", before he stepped out anyway and attempted to perform the Zulu warrior dance.
South Africans were quick to respond with anger, warning that disrespecting the Zulu Nation was not something to take lightly.
The online backlash was swift and sharp, with many pointing out that the stunt reflected poorly on Nigerians living in South Africa at a time of already heightened tensions.
UzorIyke: God bless Peter MBA for doing the great works in the state, Eastern Capital. The man is soaring higher in all ramifications; Educational sectors Medical sectors Infrastructural sectors Agricultural sectors Business sectors Security Engaging investors and business leaders, home and abroad. Omo, the man na fire. I'm still regretting the formal governors of my state (Abia) Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, T.A Orji and OUK, these people are worse than corruption, thanks to Alex Otti for rehabilitating the state now.
Anambra currently has charge and sorting their case.
FreeStuffsNG: Trump's pets in Occupied Palestine are small fries. Smh. You are ignorant of power dynamics and how war is prioritized. Why is God after the devil and not his minions in order of priority? Because the minions are the servants of devil.
US is the devil while those in Occupied Palestine are the small fries. Iran will crush US and its pets in Occupied Palestine will flee to Europe where they came from.
Seen abeg check this one's temperature. Be like he don dey off.
FreeStuffsNG: Even the babies, mothers and children killed infiltrated Occupied Palestine and got genocided. Smh.
While they are killing children in Gaza, the children of the child-killers in Occupied Palestine are abandoning their fathers genocide-stained names overseas. Poetic justice.
Shut up already you terrorist sympathiser masquerading as right advocate.
Tinubu always talking trash. This is a direct response to a comment the Congress man made few days ago, that US will closely monitor 2027 election. If you want probe from now till next millennium tinubu has no cards Against the US because he is both incapable and illegitimate. Legitimacy of any govt comes from the people. The majority did not give you the mandate you stole it, to the best of my knowledge.
Lol. You people should still the shameful defence already. How he outsmarted federal officials? Stop already, we aren't kids in this country. Embezzlement gone wrong. Breeze don blow na nyash done open.
CodeTemplar: What kind of food do you guys eat. Even if you eat two chicken of 20k each every week, thats still 160k for protein. How una take dey chop 400k?
So when he said feeding your mind told you it was just for food only. Family upkeep, transport, utilities, etc.
World Bank should hide in shame for preferring to sound politically correct over the lives of over millions of nigerians hanging in the balance due to hunger. Nigeria does not have poor revenue. The people in govt siphon all the money. Look bribery scandal of Gbajabiamila. That is how all of them in this govt are, from the toppest top down.
BRATISLAVA: What standard? You want women to do everything for you and you'll still bear the title of men?
Nairaland boys don't know what they want.
Except maybe to eat their cake and still have it, while competing that women should become men and men should remain men.
Men will destroy the family structure and still want to have it. Modernity and men are a disaster, because men are too fickle nowadays. Internet men, mostly. Weak men.
Naira land feminist entered the thread. When it gets to spending you remember men lead but when the die is cast you crawl back to your illusiin of feminism. Men are now wiser.
MarketDispatch: When that UK prime minister said Nigeria is a fantastically corrupt country, many people were making noise.
With all these recent happenings, many countries will no longer trust or accept as genuine at face value any government agency without extreme verification from the government.
The govt is aware of these happenings. They wanted to siphon money probably for election but it back fired.
Artiiclebeast: I'm closely following the Gbaja-gate case to see how it unfolds.
This is a classic case of what tribalism and nepotism beget.
Let's even assume but not concede that Gbaja, his office, and the Presidency do not know this alleged impostor and the agency he supposedly heads, how did the current supplemental budget get a line item specifically allocated to the said "non-existent" agency and also be able to get accounts set up with the CBN after vetting from the Accountant-General's office? You want to know how?
It all boils down to the alleged suspect's first and last name coupled with the language he speaks and the part of the country he comes from.
If the above wasn't the case, tell me how the conman successfully navigated one and every of the offices that should have spotted him as a phoney and raised an alarm. It got so comical and glaring that even the so-called "anti-corruption czar" the EFCC chairman was pictured hosting and conferring an award on the alleged conman.
Very shameless.
Nepotism bigotry, tribalism, etc. are all cancerous to any society that desires true equity and progress.
No it wasn't nepotism. You over estimate this govt. It was a case of top men backed embezzlement gone wrong. The president signed the budget in question. That should be after a thorough vetting. So how was it not found out if it was not intentionally added ab initio given a positive nod from the toppest top.
Gentlesoul2021: Are u saying just because time is not on her side and with the aforementioned, my sister should goto where she will be footing the bill 100%...
He is saying that if your sister was the stark illiterate with not job and the man the well learned one, you would not create a thread here lamenting. So why the double standard? That is his submission.
CharlesCNG: If Tinubu is truly rejected everywhere, when are we going to see your own candidate’s rallies?
Not Twitter rally. Not Nairaland rally. Not insult rally. Real people. Real wards. Real communities. Real mobilisation.
You people keep saying APC rallies are empty, yet the same APC keeps winning elections. Then when APC wins, you suddenly remember that “hungry Nigerians were induced.” So which one is it?
If Nigerians have rejected Tinubu, who is voting APC?
If APC has no support, why do you always explain APC victories with hunger, poverty, 2k, rice and stipends?
You cannot say Tinubu is rejected by hungry / angry Nigerians and also say the same Nigerians are voting APC because they are hungry.
That means APC is still reaching the voters you are busy insulting online.
Here is the Obidientshameless contradiction:
When APC crowd is small, they shout rejection. When APC crowd is large, they shout inducement. When APC wins, they shout rigging. When asked to organise their own rally, they shout grammar.
My friend , shame is not in holding a rally.
Shame is in believing social media noise is structure, then crying when ballot boxes refuse to count hashtags.
No one can shame the shameless. So keep rigmaroling in your illusion.
