On behalf of my family, I wish President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo a happy and memorable birthday.
Nnia Nowodo's experience in public and private life, as well as the giant strides recorded right from his days as the Student's Union President at Nigeria's premier university, the University of Ibadan stands him out as a unique Nigerian.
I recall his humility and decision to be a commercial bus conductor and a commercial bus driver after Nigeria's civil war as testimonies of a dogged and versatile personality who never gives up to circumstance and will never take no for an answer.
The Ike Ukehe is a blessing not only to his people but to Nigeria in general, a country he has meritoriously served in various capacities.

I pray that you continue to age in grace and good health and wealth for the benefit of your people and Nigeria.

We Must Exit This Recession With Precision.

It is with a very heavy heart that I received the confirmation that for the second time in five years, #Nigeria has entered into another #recession.
Heaviness of heart, because this could have been avoided had this administration taken heed to patriotic counsel given by myself and other well meaning Nigerians on cutting the cost of governance, saving for a rainy day, and avoiding profligate borrowing.
Yes, the COVID19 pandemic has exacerbated an already bad situation, however, we could have avoided this fate by a disciplined and prudent management of our economy.

I congratulate @JoeBiden on his well-deserved victory at the November 3, 2020, US elections, and look forward to the age-long collaboration of our two nations in the course of the advancement of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all peoples.
Nigeria and the United States are two nations, united by a common language. Indeed, the first major trip by the leader of an Independent Nigeria was the July 25, 1961, White House visit of the golden voice of Africa, the late Sir Tafawa Balewa, under President John F Kennedy.
Nigeria and the free world, have much to learn from your victory, especially your pronouncement that you would not be a President for only those who voted for you. May such sentiments echo and reecho globally.

The 2021 Budget Proposal Contravenes The Fiscal Responsibility Act.
 
Looking at the 2021 Budget Proposal placed before the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, October 8, 2020, a number of issues, very grave and perhaps disturbing issues arise.
I could bring up several of them, but for the sake of its direness and consequence to our economy, permit me to address one very important issue.
The budget deficit in the proposal is ₦5.21 trillion. This amount is just over 3.5% of Nigeria’s 2019 GDP.

I woke up to the peaceful #EndSARSProtests going on in Lagos and other cities in the country.

First, I would like to commend the tenacity of our brave youths who have stayed out on the streets all day and night to make their voices heard. I stand with you all.
Protests are an essential part of any democracy as we have seen the world over, and should be seen as an opportunity for dialogue between our people and our leaders.
Thus, it is essential that the fundamental rights of Nigerians to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression must be protected at all costs.

Let’s Work To Promote Love, Mutual Respect, Peace And Tolerance In Nigeria. #EidMubarak
Since February when the incident case of the novel coronavirus emerged in Nigeria, life has not been the same for us all. Our economic and social lives have been seriously disrupted.
For the first time in living memory, Muslims in our country fasted this year without spiritual acts of worship that accompany the Holy Month of Ramadan and had Eid celebration devoid of the mandatory congressional prayers.

WAEC Cancellation Puts Nigeria At More Risk.
As a parent and investor in the education sector, I wish to register that the Nigerian government’s policy of unilaterally cancelling the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, held annually by the West African Examinations Council, is not in Nigeria’s best interest.
At a time of the global COVID19 pandemic, it is understandable that an abundance of caution be put in place to save lives. However, caution, without consultation, and thoughtful action, may be counterproductive.
