Tinubu Is an Asset to Northern Nigeria and the Nation โ€” Defence Minister Matawalle

post-image

Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a significant asset to Northern Nigeria and the country as a whole, urging citizens to dismiss what he termed โ€œbaseless and politically motivatedโ€ criticisms against the president.

In a statement released on Friday and signed by his Special Assistant on Political Affairs, Ibrahim Goga, Matawalle, who previously served as Governor of Zamfara State, condemned recent attacks on Tinubu, asserting that they are driven by individuals who failed to secure their political ambitions.

โ€œPresident Tinubu has demonstrated an uncommon commitment to addressing the challenges facing our region,โ€ the minister stated. โ€œThose attacking him with propaganda are only seeking relevance after failing to secure their political future.โ€

He accused unnamed political figures of sponsoring misinformation campaigns as a way to divert attention from their own lackluster performance while in office. โ€œThese individuals had the opportunity to lead but left no…

BorderlessTek Launches Lifeline for Underprivileged Nigerian Children Through Coding

post-image

 

In a powerful intervention against digital exclusion, a UK-based Nigerian tech entrepreneur, Wale Atekoja, is rewriting the future of disadvantaged children in Lagos, one line of code at a time.

His organization, Borderless Tek, has launched the Kids Coding Partnership โ€” a grassroots tech education program designed to equip underprivileged schoolchildren in communities like Ikorodu and Yaba with foundational coding and software development skills, completely free of charge.

This is not just another CSR initiative. It’s a deliberate human-centered response to the growing digital divide that continues to marginalize low-income Nigerian children from the technology revolution sweeping the globe.

โ€œWeโ€™ve been teaching Black kids in Europe how to code, but what about those back home?โ€ says Wale Atekoja, better known as @AtexXeta on social media. โ€œWeโ€™re not targeting the privileged. Weโ€™re starting with the forgotten โ€” the children who have never touched a laptop.โ€

Southeast Nigeria Leads in Self-Made Billionaires, Not Ritualists โ€“ Hon. Obi-West Utchaychukwuo Declares

post-image

A renowned radio personality and social commentator, Hon. Obi-West Utchaychukwuo, has sparked conversation on social media with his bold statement debunking the myth surrounding wealthy individuals from Southeast Nigeria. According to Utchaychukwuo, the wealth of Igbo businessmen is not rooted in ritual practices but in hard work, smart networking, and deep business acumen.

In a recent statement shared online, Utchaychukwuo noted that the southeastern region of Nigeria, predominantly occupied by the Igbo ethnic group, is home to the highest number of self-made billionaires in the country. โ€œThese are not people who looted public funds,โ€ he emphasized, โ€œbut entrepreneurs who have built legitimate empires.โ€

He pointed to events such as the high-profile burial ceremony of Obi Cubanaโ€™s mother, which drew nationwide attention due to the extravagant displays of wealth. While some questioned the sources of the funds, Utchaychukwuo clarified that many of those in attendance were top importers, exporters, and sole distributors…

South East Leads in Milk Consumption as Experts Call for Wider Dairy Access Across Nigeria

post-image

 

By Anthony Nwosu โ€“ Lagos

The South East region of Nigeria has emerged as the leading zone in milk consumption, with a record 54.7% of households reportedly consuming milk and dairy products regularly. This is according to the latest 2023/2024 data released by Statisense using figures from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the General Household Survey (GHS), and the Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS).

The national average of milk consumption stands at 41.5%, with other zones falling behind the South East. The South South region follows closely at 50.1%, while the South West records 48.3%. However, the figures drop significantly in the North: North West (37.6%), North Central (29.4%), and North East (23.3%).

Health and nutrition experts say these numbers reflect the socio-economic imbalance in Nigeria, where access to nutritious foods like milk is often dictated by purchasing power and awareness.
