Not impressive, she should be careful so that enemies of her late Husband KINSMEN will not use her to rubbish them.

I think the Igbo people are too emotional though.

Me n my Isoko ethnic group, our own we are always at war with ourselves

This is not about gender equality but what is morally right. I repeat if everything is sane, movement can be any time irrespective of gender. Now gender equality is not nonsense.

Yxxx:
What are the men doing by 13 midnight? We are condemning an act. You are talking about time. In a sane country every gender can move around freely irrespective of time.

It is extremely disrespectful to many to buy a monument in another man's land and turn it into your own different purpose. Look at Susan Wenger the Oyinbo who fought for the preservation of Osun groove, they even gave her a Priestess title. I think these religious peeps lack love for anything and anyone all they care is the financial gains they make

Is it really over for Nigeria and Nigerians. It’s looking like it

Gadafii:
Meanwhile Nigerian universities are roting away, na modern equipment, no change in academic syllabus, ancient and archaic teaching methods by lecturers, still using text books from 1978, lecturers are poorly paid, schools are underfunded

But this Buffoñ went to UK to bring degrees to Nigerians, smh

Chachalogo:
I'm feeling ashamed on behalf of Nigeria. I have never seen this level of cluelessness in my entire life.

I’m in London with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and we are already making real progress — advancing a major partnership with Coventry University to bring UK degrees to Nigeria.

This is personal.

For too long, families have had to send their children thousands of miles away in search of quality education. We are changing that.

With Coventry University Nigeria, our students will be able to earn fully accredited UK degrees — at significantly lower cost — without leaving the country.

As I’ve said, we want Nigerian parents to enjoy having their children at home, while still receiving a world-class UK education.

The proposed campus in Alaro City, Lagos will offer Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes across STEMM, Business, and TVET, with admissions expected between Q3 and Q4 of 2026 (subject to approvals).

Beyond access, this is about building Nigeria’s human capital — developing the skills, talent, and workforce needed to drive innovation, productivity, and long-term national growth.

We are bringing global opportunity home — where it belongs.

A deal has just been secured with Coventry university, UK.

A local campus of the university will be unveiled in Lagos

They went there because of the side events.

There are so many side events.

I created this post yesterday.

I've told you that Nigerians always make strange comments when their leaders travel and this time is no exception. I have addressed most of the strange comments, but this time I'm going to address something that I have rarely written about.

Delegations

I noticed the composition of the US president's entourage when he travelled in the 1980s. There were usually businessmen in his delegations and they usually struck deals with their hosts. I wondered why Nigerian presidents didn't do the same thing.

President Ibrahim Babangida made me happy in the early 1990s. He travelled somewhere and took people like Chiefs Gabriel Igbinedion and Sonny Odogwu with him. I was happy.

You see, the private sector is the engine of the economy and it is the private sector that grows the economy, not the government. I wanted Nigerian businessmen and companies to go out and conquer the world.

Let's jump forward a few decades to another time that I was happy. President Goodluck Jonathan travelled to Kenya sometime around 2014 and his visit shook Africa. There were reports that Africa's richest men had descended on Nairobi, some reports were about the number of private jets that flew to Nairobi and the Kenyan finance minister also spoke about it.

And over time I realised that it's not just the private sector, but the president also needs to go with heads of ministries, departments and agencies and also with state governors. We have seen the impact of such trips in recent years.

Trips to China by President Muhammadu Buhari gave us the Lagos-Ibadan Rail Line, the Railway University, the completion of the Warri-Itakpe Line, etc. He took the minister of transport with him.

Trips to the the Middle East (especially the UAE) by President Tinubu led to construction of free estates for victims of Boko Haram attacks and to programmes to render assistance to the victims.

So President Tinubu has travelled to the UK and in his delegation are state governors, ministers, business executives, etc.

Already funny Nigerians are saying that these people only went to the UK to "greet" President Tinubu. They don't know what they are talking about. There are very many events that are happening on the sidelines of the visit and they require the presence of these people (people are talking about Sanwo-Olu and General Musa, but a lot of these investments will be done in Lagos and of course Nigeria is in talks with the UK about training and equipment for our troops).

I would have created a mega thread about these events if I could still post as many pictures as I wanted.

When you have misfits for leaders, this is what happens...




And to show and useless this present govt is, the UK 🇬🇧 govt that they are visiting didn't even send high profiled leaders or govt officials to receive Tinupoo. What a shame!

owobokiri:
Bunch of clowns..
They do this all the time.
You see them line up at the foot of his presidential jet to send him off..
Few hours later, you see another set of pictures of the same characters at the foot of the same presidential jet to welcome the same man to wherever he has gone too..

Strange? They don't care!

They do all these while beaming with wild smiles.., very ecstatic and totally oblivious of how dumb and dense the sound and look while at it..
They call it "protocols"..
A very unserious bunch of inept politicians leading a comatose country to the abiss

SeverusSnape:
His zombified humanoids are coming to say that it's Only Igbos that are bashing him.... But check the names, Most are even Yorubas.

This country is so full of obsequious sycophants

I received His Excellency President Bola Tinubu on his arrival at the Fairmont Hotel in Windsor ahead of the State Visit. We have a productive couple of days ahead and I am looking forward to the progress we will make for our state and the country.
