With schools in Abuja shutdown for weeks due to teachers protesting non-payment of their salary, Tinubu ignored that and went offering scholarship to school children in another country.

Political masterstroke?

I have consistently maintained that our underdevelopment is due to Leadership failure.

It is heartbreaking that our President, who is the leader of a country with the highest number of out of school children in the world and with the students in the capital of his own nation Abuja presently not attending schools, would travel to St. Lucia and offer scholarships to children there, while his own country’s education system is in ruins, and even currently his nation’s capital, the Federal Capital Territory, the supposed seat of governance, have public schools shut down and closed for months.

This is not leadership, it is negligence at its peak. It is an act of betrayal against the Nigerian child.

Nigeria has approximately 20 million children out of school, according to UNICEF, the highest number globally, with a literacy rate of under 60% far below the global average of 87%. Similarly, the life expectancy stands at a mere 54 years, out of the global average measurement of above 70 years, one of the lowest in the world.

On Human Development Index (HDI), which is the most critical measure of development, Nigeria is ranked in the "Low Category" at 161 out of 193 countries measured, while St. Lucia, a Caribbean nation, has a literacy rate of over 90% which is above the global average of 87%.

In life expectancy of more than 72 years, which is within the global average.

On HDI which Nigeria is in the Low category, they air in the "High Category"

So tell me, what sense does it make that a president of a country with such terrible and dire statistics would travel to a country with better indexes of development especially in education and still offer them scholarships funded by Nigerian taxpayers when Nigeria children are largely out of school and the teachers not yet paid for months?

Mr. President, by offering St Lucia students a scholarship, shows he knows how important education is, while depriving Nigerian students of the same access to education.

We must, as a nation, reject these continued normalisations of misplaced priorities and build a better nation for us and our children.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

This PO is giving knockout punchlines everyday now.

The Gloves are off and while TINUBU talks carelessly like a known Agbero. PO will keep using decorum to call out the abject failures of a man losers call a sophisticated leader.

PO..press their necks

This is what we have always wanted in this country. HEALTHY OPPOSITION to this calamitous regime is for the betterment of the entire country even with its accompanying baggage of agbadoid urchinus RoNu members 😏

We got a politician and not a leader at the 2023 polls.
Same man who goes to complain about out-of-school children is giving scholarship away from home.

Unfortunately they sacrifice our national treasury for personal gains or perhaps, Agbado master doesn't even know that St Lucia is far better than Nigeria in terms of education. Olodo!

Aswear!

Look at how he quoted statistics to support his points.

I want to see what Tinubu supporters will defend here.

I want to see them defend the reasonability of Tinubu offering scholarship to children of a country that is better than Nigeria in all ramification.

No be mumu be that?

Come on, we Obidients. Stop behaving like we don't know that Saint Lucia is a state in Nigeria!

But what economic value will a very tiny nation like saint Lucia add to us. A country with a population of 200k people. Maybe the smallest local government in nigeria is even bigger than the country.

Their GDP won't even be upto $15billion am very sure.

Peter Obi should continue constituting nuisance online while Jagaban continue to build bridges across the world.

Same Obi muguu went to donate to Haiti back then when erosion was swallowing Anambra away during his tenure as governor.

And this man is yet to condenm the more than 10 people killed in Anambra state 2days ago. As predicted. Social media president, the reactor in chief, once it happens in south east, is none his business, conni man.

People are being murdered all over Nigeria daily and massacred, widespread poverty and increases in price daily and this tinubu man is not even bothered but calls himself president

How will Tinubu supporters defend this one now. I want to see.

Tufiakwa
Tinubu failed woefully
What manner of rubbish is this! 🥺
Just last week, vdm protested with out of school children in Abuja, Abuja oooo …….the capital itself. Right at the backyard of this efulefu of a president
😡

If Peter Obi was a YORUBA man and TINUBU was IGBO. Imagine what would have been said about their rulership styles, by RONU-bandits.

I thank GOD that the same People that supported a known failure like BUHARI are the same people who appreciate TINUBUs failure as Sophisticated leadership.


If Peter Obi was the current President with the economy in this situation. They would have converged at OJOTA with sponsored hooligans shouting themselves hoarse.

The shame of TINUBUs leadership makes BUHARI (a known failure) look like brilliance.

To imagine that people that support TINUBU claim to be educated and exposed.

Very pathetic.

Hehehe. If 001 finds his way to silence Obi, be will gladly do so.

Charity begins at home

It's good to extend hands of assistance to outsider in dire need but it's good to ensure the people at home don't lack

His people lives are not that important. So it’s expected that he won’t talk about them.

Maybe it’s from the ish of the war, if you can lose 3 milli, then what is 10 people to him.

Of course, every sane Nigerian has condemned him for that act.

It's only agbaddo miscreants that see nothing wrong with that

Obi is becoming a Nuisance on the public space, he should wait, whenever he become president in his next life, he can award scholarship to Pandora citizens

As if the scholarship was given to the whole students in that country

Of course. That's how a sensible person should see things.

Your people cannot afford education in your country yet you're giving scholarship abroad, what kind of insensitivity is that biko?

Tinubu just wakes up and decides to do anything he wants without viable plans for Nigeria
Illiterate offering scholarship to a professor

MY BLOOD DEY BOIL AND IF E NO BOIL AKAMU CALL ME INGULUBE

The permanent urchins stationed here to attack anything contrary to their masters bidding will soon attack. You have not given scholarships to your people but run to a country better than you academically to hand over scholarships.

Nice one from Peter Obi.
This is real opposition at its peak.
Keep fishing it out to them. Very useless party any govt APC.
Obi is coming 2027.

Charity starts at home. This something we have all known for a long time

This is what we call constructive criticism this is the kind of opposition a country needs. As a matter of fact this is a technical knockout politically. I love this and his 100% correct on this one

Hahjahahahahahahahahahahajahahahah

You never see anything

Tinubu’s Yoruba government is already destabilized

Wake before reality wakes you

Bayo onanuga & co should better brace up cos the game has just started.

Press it !!!!!!!
