Today, I chaired the 6th meeting of the National Council on Skills (NCS) at the Presidential Villa.

In my address to the Council, I called for immediate and united action to close Nigeria’s widening skills gap, describing it as a national priority critical to economic transformation.

Indeed, what binds us together supersedes whatever divides us. We have to make this country work. We need to fill in the skills gap.

A major highlight of our meeting was the proposal for a National Skills Infrastructure Audit to create a centralised database of all training facilities, verify their functionality, and identify gaps or overlaps in infrastructure.

MY LETTER TO THE WORLD ON
HOW TO ALLEVIATE WORLD PROBLEMS IN OUR CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY.

In contemporary society, a multitude of abnormalities persist on a daily and nightly basis, spanning generations. The continued practice of misguided belief systems prompts the inquiry: how can we terminate this chaos? Consider the following: the concept of racial superiority is fundamentally flawed. Individuals from all ethnic backgrounds require assistance from one another. We are designed to coexist, sharing resources and celebrating diversity. It is apparent that life's offerings are not exclusive to one race; discoveries and innovations are intended to benefit humanity collectively. Ultimately, nothing in life is solely reserved for one group.

1) The reality that I emphasize in my messages to the world is that all humans are connected and originate from a single source. What constitutes a better life, which is comprised of everything that brings us happiness and fulfillment? Through my examination of life, I have come to realize that we all share the same fundamental needs. Moreover, I have found that even before humanity came into existence, everything required for a fulfilling life was already in place. We do not need to be selfish or harmful; our desires can be attained through love and mutual respect. Africa, America, China, and India are all valuable contributors to the world, and failure to recognize this is a sign of ignorance that requires attention.

(2) Failure to acknowledge the truth about our perspectives on other races: It will astonish you to learn about the self-perceptions of Chinese, Indian, Black, and White individuals. Instead of collaborating and educating ourselves about the realities of life, some races attempt to conceal, destroy other cultures, and manipulate them to perpetuate exploitation. However, this behavior will not persist indefinitely, and eventually, the suppressed and exploited individuals will acquire the capacity to rise up against their oppressors, leading to a reversal of consequences. I emphasized that it is foolish for any race to consider itself superior to others; we are one, one world, one God, one humanity, we want a good life, a beautiful earth, highlighting that the world's resources are sufficient for humanity to share, and we will never exhaust them.

(3)Every individual has free will, except for minors who require supervision. So-called international laws that supposedly aim to improve the world appear to favor one race over others. In response to the corona virus, Africans developed their own solutions, but these required approval from the World Health Organization, resulting in delays pending WHO validation. In Nigeria, many companies are closing because overseas companies do not want local solution providers to coexist with their own, so they use their collective power to stop it. If we are to achieve peace and progress, we must work together, love one another, and share with one another. Otherwise, a time will come when no human can stop the nemesis of our corrupt attitudes. Interestingly, the most corrupt country in the world, which is also ranked as the most curious, questions why it is not listed among the corrupt nations. We must allow every country and race to decide what is good for them, as nobody should rule the world due to the lack of human capacity, which only the creator possesses.

To summarize, the notion that one human being is superior to another is a falsehood, as is the idea that we do not need each other's support in life. Additionally, it is a misconception that any race can exist independently of others. It is also untrue that we do not all require the necessities of life, which bring fulfillment. It is an established fact that humanity shares a common origin. Consequently, we must work collaboratively with love, respect each other's cultural diversity, and share the resources provided by our creators for our mutual benefit.

According to JTT , the Nigerian constitution works against the interests of the Nigerian people can be interpreted in various ways, and it often reflects a critical perspective on governance, political practices, or socioeconomic conditions in Nigeria. Here are a few points that might be raised in such a discussion: 1. Federal Structure and Resource Control: Critics argue that the distribution of resources and powers between the federal government and the states can disadvantage certain regions, especially in oil-rich areas. This has led to feelings of marginalization among various ethnic groups. 2. Human Rights Issues: There are concerns regarding the protection of human rights under the Nigerian constitution. Issues such as police brutality, restrictions on freedom of expression, and the treatment of political dissidents are often highlighted. 3. Judiciary Independence: The independence of the judiciary is essential for upholding the rule of law. If the judiciary is perceived as being influenced by the executive or other political forces, it can undermine public trust in the constitution and legal system. 4. Corruption: Widespread corruption can lead to the ineffective implementation of constitutional provisions, resulting in a lack of accountability and transparency in governance. 5. Electoral Issues: Concerns about electoral integrity, including allegations of rigging and violence, can lead to a lack of faith in the democratic process and the constitutional framework designed to protect citizens' rights to choose their leaders. 6. Amendments and Reforms: The process of amending the constitution can be contentious, and some citizens may feel that their needs and concerns are not adequately represented in the constitutional framework. 7. Social Justice and Inequality: Issues of social justice, economic inequality, and access to basic services can be seen as a failure of the constitutional mandate to provide for the welfare of all citizens. It's important to note that while these criticisms exist, there are also many who argue that the constitution provides a framework for democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria. The effectiveness of the constitution in serving the Nigerian people often depends on the political will, civic engagement, and the active participation of the citizenry in governance.

PRESS RELEASE

Water Ministry Partners Nestlé Nigeria on Advancement of Water Quality Management in Nigeria.

In a move to promote safe and sustainable water practices, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation (FMWRS) has announced a collaborative partnership with Nestlé Nigeria to drive nationwide Water Quality Management Campaigns. This initiative supports the goals of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in the water sector.

This commitment was made by the Honourable Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Engr. Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev, during a courtesy visit by the management of Nestlé Nigeria and members of the Organized Private Sector in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (OPS-WASH) led by Nestlé Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, and Sustainability Lead, Victoria Uwadoka to his office today in Abuja.

The Minister emphasized that efficient water resource management is essential for minimizing public health threats such as cholera and diarrhea, while also helping to mitigate the adverse impacts of flooding. He assured the Ministry’s full support for Nestlé’s campaign and pledged timely collaboration to deliver impactful results.

“The Ministry is committed to working with Nestlé Nigeria to improve water quality across the country. This partnership is in line with our mission to ensure safe water access and support the health and wellbeing of all Nigerians,” Prof. Utsev said.

In his remarks, the Permanent Secretary of FMWRS, Mr. Richard Pheelangwah, applauded Nestlé’s presentation on water quality improvement and pledged the Ministry’s full support for the initiative.

Speaking on behalf of Nestlé Nigeria, Victoria Uwadoka, Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, and Sustainability Lead, stressed the urgency of bridging the knowledge gap around water quality.

“Not all clear water is clean. Poor water quality continues to affect health and increase the prevalence of waterborne diseases. Through our National Water Quality Advocacy Campaign, we aim to raise awareness, educate communities, engage stakeholders, and drive sustainable action,” Uwadoka said.

She further added that the campaign is built on three key pillars: Raising Awareness and Educating, Engaging Stakeholders, and Driving Sustainable Actions.

Providing further insight into the project, Dr. Nicholas Igwe, National Coordinator of OPS-WASH, highlighted that this collaboration goes beyond traditional Corporate Social Responsibility.

“This initiative is focused on long-term water rehabilitation. In Abaji Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), 16 communities will benefit, while 8 communities in Agbara, Ogun State, are also set to receive support. Additionally, two farming communities in Abaji and Agbara will benefit from the introduction of water harvesting systems for irrigation,” Dr. Igwe noted.

The Director of Water Quality Control and Sanitation at the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, Mrs. Elizabeth Ugoh, noted that the ongoing baseline report on water quality and its parameters will significantly strengthen the water quality collaboration with Nestlé Nigeria.

In attendance were some Directors of the Ministry including Director, Water Supply, Mr. Babarinde Segun Mukaila, Director Planning and Technical Support Services, Engr. Adeyinka Adenopo, Directors 11 & 111 of the Department of Water Quality Control and Sanitation, Habu Jamilu, mni and Ibiyemi Olu-Daniels, and Director Special Duties, Chucks Mbaike, respectively

HOW TO DECOLONIZE AN AFRICAN CHILD FOR PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY

Decolonizing an African child's upbringing involves nurturing a sense of identity, empowerment, and critical thinking that transcends colonial legacies. Here’s a detailed approach to decolonize an African child:

1. {Cultural Education}
{Teach African History} Incorporate pre-colonial and post-colonial history into the child’s education. Highlight the achievements and contributions of African civilizations.
{Language Preservation} Encourage learning and speaking indigenous languages. This fosters a sense of belonging and cultural pride.
{Traditional Practices} Engage the child in traditional customs, rituals, and storytelling to instill a connection with their heritage.

THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE WORKING PERFECTLY ACCORDING TO ITS MANDATE

Your statement reflects a critical perspective on the role and function of the Nigerian police force, which has been a topic of significant debate and discussion in Nigeria over the years. Here are some points that contextualize this view:

1. Historical Context
- {Colonial Roots} The Nigerian police force was established during colonial rule primarily to serve the interests of the colonial government, primarily for control and oppression rather than protection and service to the citizens.
- {Post-Colonial Legacy} After Nigeria attained independence in 1960, the police inherited a structure and culture that often prioritized political control over public safety.

2. Public Perception and Trust
- {Corruption} There are widespread reports of corruption within the police force, where bribes and extortion have become common practices. This undermines public trust and leads to a perception of the police acting against the interests of the community.
- {Human Rights Violations} Numerous instances of brutality, extrajudicial killings (notably by units like the now-disbanded SARS - Special Anti-Robbery Squad), and abusive behavior towards the citizens have contributed to this negative perception.

3. The Safer Nigeria Initiative
- {Protests and Advocacy} Movements such as #EndSARS have highlighted the grievances of citizens against police misconduct and have called for reform. These protests bring to light the demands of Nigerian citizens for a police force that protects rather than oppresses.
- {Calls for Reform} There have been various calls from civil society for reforming the police, focusing on better training, accountability, and community policing as a means of restoring faith in the force.

4. Societal Impact
- {Fear and Distrust} The perception of the police as an entity working against the masses creates an atmosphere of fear and distrust. This can lead to underreporting of crimes and reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement.
- {Impact on Crime Rates} Distrust in the police may deter effective policing and thus contribute to rising crime rates as communities feel unprotected.

5. The Need for Reform
- {Community Policing} There is a growing recognition that policing needs to be community-focused, transparent, and accountable to the people it serves.
- {Legislative and Structural Changes} Effective reforms may require legal changes, restructuring the police hierarchy, and implementing new training programs to focus on human rights and community relations.

Finally
The sentiment that the Nigerian police force was designed against the Nigerian masses speaks to a broader issue of accountability, trust, and the need for substantial reforms within the police system. Ongoing dialogues, public protests, and calls for systemic change are crucial for reshaping the police force into an institution that genuinely serves and protects all Nigerians. A focus on community engagement, transparency, and accountability is essential for rebuilding trust and ensuring that the police serve their intended purpose.Since the Nigeria still not in control of the force nothing will be done to make it work , to me (JTT) I don't expect anything meaningful from them until Nigeria create her own police force.

As a mom, I have learnt that your children will start disobeying you even from the womb. I’m not kidding. This is something I realised after giving birth to David and Michelle. Let me explain.

When I was pregnant with David, I only asked this boy for one thing. I asked him to make sure he comes out carrying the same dimples his daddy has. If you know my husband, you will know that his dimple is very very “dimply” Those dimples are always the highlight of my day, especially when he smiles. So, when I was pregnant with David, I repeatedly asked him to make sure he comes out with those dimples as well, but did he obey me? Capital no!

Fast forward to his sister, Michelle, I kept repeating the same instruction when she was in the womb. I even had to touch my husband‘s dimples countless times and touch my tummy and kept repeating same thing. Did she obey me? No. She went ahead to follow her brother’s footsteps.

Why can’t these children obey simple instruction? They both look like my husband but forgot to get the most important thing I needed, the ultimate dimples.

Kids whine you eh but no loose your cool

Embrace Integrity, Olukoyede Urges Students

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has charged students in the country to shun all forms of economic and financial crimes and embrace a life of integrity for a fulfilling future.

He gave the charge recently during the induction of students of Excellent Kiddies Academy, Bwari, Abuja into EFCC’s Integrity Club.

Represented by the Head of the Interface Unit of the Public Affairs Department of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC I, Tony Orilade, Olukoyede emphasized the importance of moral uprightness among young people, urging them to surround themselves with individuals who uphold integrity and positive values.

“To secure a brighter future, you must get it right from the beginning. Surround yourself with good people, friends and acquaintances that will help you grow in wisdom and integrity,” he said.

While warning them against associating with individuals involved in financial crimes, he stated that negative influence from such people could draw them to criminal behaviours and that could in turn, earn them grave consequences.

“Anyone who engages in financial crimes is on a path that leads to jail. Once convicted, such a person becomes an ex-convict and loses the opportunity to hold any public office in Nigeria. That is a heavy price to pay for associating with the wrong crowd,” he said.

Olukoyede further stated that the project of inaugurating EFCC’s Integrity Club in primary and secondary schools was part of the Commission’s policy of “catching them young,” which is about nurturing children to be ambassadors of integrity in their homes, schools, communities, and the country at large.

Also speaking at the event, the Head of Enlightenment and Reorientation Unit of the Commission, Assistant Commander of the EFCC II, Aisha Mohammed, enlightened the children on the functions and activities of the EFCC. She encouraged them to be honest, disciplined, and upright in their daily lives, noting that integrity is a crucial ingredient for success.

“Youths must understand that honesty and integrity are values that never go out of fashion. They open doors and keep you on the right path in life,” she said.

The highlight of the induction ceremony was a quiz competition that dwelt on EFCC and its operations. Two students, Glory Okinbaliyi and Divine Oyaniyi Bimbola emerged winners and were rewarded with android smartphones.

In his vote of thanks, the Integrity Club Master of the school, Mr. Gbenga Jatau, expressed appreciation to the EFCC Chairman and management his team for bringing the club to the school.

“On behalf of the management, staff, and students of Excellent Kiddies Academy, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to the EFCC Chairman for this great honour. We applaud the Commission’s unwavering commitment to fighting all forms of economic and financial crimes and building a better Nigeria,” he said.

“Supporting Peter Obi's coalition would be a gravę mistake for Arewa” – Angry Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri has warned Arewa against supporting Peter Obi's coalition, citing concerns about Obi's past actions and potential consequences for the North. According to Omokri, if Arewa backs Obi's coalition and gives him the Presidential ticket, they may face marginalization similar to what Northern Cameroon experienced after Ahmadou Ahidjo's resignation in 1982.

Omokri highlighted President Bola Tinubu's loyalty and integrity in supporting former President Muhammadu Buhari, suggesting that Arewa has a reliable Southern ally in Tinubu. He raised questions about Obi's credibility, citing allegations of plotting against Muslims, defending IPOB, and failing to condemn IPOB's activities, and appointing a Christian coordinator in Sokoto.

Following Peter Obi's appeal to Nigerians about his single four-year presidential bid, Reno Omokri said: “If Arewa makes the mistake of backing the coalition and giving their Presidential ticket to Peter Obi, exactly what happened to Northern Cameroon after Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned on November 4, 1982, is what will happen to Northern Nigeria. Go back and study history.

The Hausa and Fulani are the most marginalised ethnicities in Cameroon, and Paul Biya kept none of the promises he made to Ahidjo.

But in Nigeria, Mutanen Arewa has a Southern friend they can rely on, in President Bola Tinubu. He showed his loyalty and integrity by standing with Buhari and ensuring he was elected and reelected.

General Buhari had tried thrice without Asiwaju Tinubu and failed each time. But in 2015, Jagaban stood with him. And that fidelity made the difference that led to victory:

Now, do you want to leave him and entrust power to a man who was caught on a leaked audio plotting "religious war" against the Muslim Ummah, and has in the past made other disparaging remarks about Mutanen Arewa?

A man, like Peter Obi, who defended the Indigenous People of Biafra and said they were not terrorists? So who killed Harira, the pregnant Arewa woman from Adamawa, and her four underage daughters, including Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2, who were killed in broad daylight at Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State?

Who killed Ahmed Gulak in Owerri in May of 2021?

Today, millions of innocent Nigerian citizens will be forced to observe the infamous Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast. Has this same Peter Obi ever condemned IPOB or their sit-at-home?

Mutanen Arewa may recall that in the most Islamic state of Nigeria, the seat of the Caliphate, Peter Obi named Ifeanyi Ezeagu as the state coordinator of his campaign for Sokoto. He also named John Ezeigbe the coordinator for Lagos state.

And this is the man telling you to give him power, and he will do only one term?

A man who could not keep a promise to Ojukwu will now stay true to his pledge to Arewa?

Believe that, and prepare for the Cameroon treatment.”
