Nigeria, as presently constituted, does not function as a true nation-state but rather as a political arrangement shaped by powerful interest groups.
Over the years, successive political actors have sustained this structure without addressing its foundational contradictions.
For this reason, many now argue that a peaceful renegotiation of the union — even to the point of de-amalgamation — should be openly discussed. History offers several precedents: the dissolution of the former Soviet Union, the restructuring of the former Yugoslavia, and even the constitutional autonomy arrangements within the United Kingdom involving England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
In the immediate term, citizens can continue to demand credible electoral reforms. However, it must be acknowledged that a political system built on persistent electoral manipulation cannot produce genuine democracy. In a properly functioning system, election rigging would be treated as an attack on constitutional order, comparable in gravity to a coup against the will of the people.
The Abia State Government has announced an imminent regulatory overhaul of the electricity sector, as the Abia State Electricity Regulatory Authority (ASERA) prepares to issue a comprehensive order to regularise all electricity-related activities across the state before the end of January.
The disclosure was made on Monday by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, during a media briefing at the Government House, Umuahia, following the State Executive Council (EXCO) meeting presided over by Governor Alex Chioma Otti.
According to the Commissioner, the forthcoming regulatory order follows the successful transfer of electricity regulatory powers from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to ASERA, marking a significant milestone in Abia State’s electricity sector reforms.
Prince Kanu explained that with the completion of the transfer, ASERA is now the sole statutory authority responsible for regulating all electricity-related activities within Abia State.
“This is one of the outcomes of the release of the final transfer of regulatory authority from NERC to ASERA,” he said.
He noted that the regulatory order will serve as a framework to bring order, transparency, and accountability to the electricity market in the state.
“As the statutory regulator of all electricity sector activities in the state, ASERA will issue this order to ensure quicker resolution of consumer complaints, stronger consumer protection, better service delivery, and a fair balance between operators and electricity consumers going forward,” Prince Kanu stated.
The Commissioner emphasized that the intervention will protect consumers from arbitrary practices by operators while improving response time to complaints and strengthening trust between electricity providers and users.
The electricity sector reform aligns with the broader governance agenda of the Alex Otti administration, which prioritizes institutional efficiency, regulatory clarity, and improved service delivery across critical sectors of the state’s economy.
With ASERA now fully empowered, stakeholders and residents are expected to witness a more structured, responsive, and consumer-friendly electricity sector in Abia State in the coming weeks.
The regulatory intervention is widely seen as a bold step toward stabilizing the power sector and enhancing economic activities across the state.

Our people are not asking for too much. What they need can easily be provided by any rational human being in a position of authority. They simply desire an honest and sincere Governor who can guarantee stable and affordable electricity, low-cost housing, affordable food, industrial and agricultural villages, a reliable database of human and material resources, improved healthcare services, functional and technical education (not merely certificate-oriented education), law and order, and a living wage for all.
The primary objective of government is to ensure the security and welfare of its citizens, as clearly stated in Section 14(2)(b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Governor Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, is simply fulfilling this constitutional obligation with the launch of the Senior Citizens Welfare Scheme, aimed at improving the living conditions of elderly residents of Abia State aged 60 years and above. This welfare initiative is designed to provide financial relief, healthcare support, and social inclusion, especially for senior citizens without steady income or pension benefits.
Under the scheme, beneficiaries receive a monthly social support allowance intended to cover:
Basic food needs,
Transportation,
Minor household expenses.
Payments are made through transparent and verifiable channels to prevent diversion, manipulation, or favoritism. Traditional rulers, town unions, and local verification committees assist in confirming:
Age
Residency
Identity.
In addition, digital records are created to prevent duplication and fraud.
However, this welfare package is only the beginning of what the Good Governance Ministry (GGM) expects from Governor Alex Otti.A database for all underemployed and unemployed young people in Abia State should be developed immediately.
Our people have suffered greatly; their human dignity has been battered over the years. Many no longer expect anything from government and have resorted to personal struggle, family support, and communal survival. Confidence in governance had been completely eroded—until the emergence of Alex Otti.
Before his administration, public infrastructure such as roads, water supply, electricity, waste management systems, public schools, hospitals, and social welfare structures had virtually collapsed. It takes a first-class mind to know where to begin. Within his first 24 months in office, Governor Otti made a significant impact, winning the hearts of Abians through visible and purposeful governance.
Nevertheless, this article serves as a gentle reminder that the Governor is on a divine assignment and must not be distracted by the euphoria of early successes. His focus must remain firmly on building strong, enduring public institutions.
First, the Governor should work closely with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to establish a comprehensive and representative demographic database for Enyimba State.
Human resources are the most valuable assets God has bestowed upon society, and Aba youths can perform wonders when properly motivated and inspired by purposeful leadership.
Even citizens within the 60–70 age bracket can remain productive if properly organized within well-structured agricultural estates and senior citizens’ cooperatives. As an economist and seasoned financial manager, Governor Alex Otti can harness the experience of senior citizens to mentor younger generations within food production estates.
According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, food is the most basic human necessity. Therefore, in building a sustainable system, Abia State must fully deploy its abundant human resources for mechanized food production, supported by a well-organized and profitable agricultural value chain. The synergy between the elderly and the youth can make this vision achievable.
Western education must give way to functional, problem-solving education that addresses local realities. Certificate accumulation without skills has failed the society.
Governor Alex Otti must therefore de-emphasize certificate-driven education and promote technical and vocational skills capable of developing and sustaining the new Abia State and beyond.
As the Governor constructs roads and bridges, he must simultaneously develop a highly motivated, skilled workforce that will power public institutions. Senior citizens with knowledge and experience should be encouraged to transfer their skills to the next generation through structured mentorship programs.
Government has the unique capacity to organize the factors of production—land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship—to achieve optimal social welfare. Governor Alex Otti has started well. History now calls on him to institutionalize progress and build a legacy that will outlive his tenure.

The Abia State Government has approved the construction of multiple housing estates across the state, marking a significant step toward expanding access to affordable and decent housing for civil servants and other residents.
The approval, granted by the Abia State Executive Council, will be implemented through a combination of government-funded projects and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements.
Housing Projects to Commence in Umuahia
Following the approval, the State Ministry of Housing is set to flag off the construction of the Civil Service Commission Pocket-Layout Estate in Umuahia. Agreements have also been reached with private developers for the development of additional housing estates in strategic locations across the state.
The development was disclosed on Monday by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, during a post-Executive Council briefing at the Government House, Umuahia.
According to him, the housing initiative aligns with Governor Alex Chioma Otti’s commitment to improving the welfare and living standards of Abia residents.
“In line with the Governor’s vision to provide quality and affordable housing for Abians, the Ministry of Housing will soon flag off the Civil Service Commission Pocket-Layout Estate in Umuahia,” Prince Kanu said.
PPP Estates Planned for Mbaisi, Ubakala
Prince Kanu revealed that discussions are at an advanced stage with private developers under the PPP framework for proposed housing estates in Mbaisi and Mgbarakuma-Ubakala, Umuahia.
“The Ministry is on the verge of signing the necessary agreements for developers to move to the site without delay,” he added.
He noted that the estates would be developed across different parts of the state to promote balanced development while combining private-sector efficiency with strong government oversight.
Estate Not Exclusive to Civil Servants – Housing Commissioner
Providing further clarification, the Commissioner for Housing, Architect Chiemela Uzoije, explained that despite its name, the Civil Service Commission Pocket-Layout Estate is not exclusive to civil servants.
“It is for the generality of Abians. Civil servants are included, but the estate is open to everyone,” he said.
Architect Uzoije also disclosed that the state has already commenced similar housing projects, citing the ongoing site-and-services scheme at Obehie in Ukwa West, being developed in partnership with a private firm.
Under the arrangement, the developer provides infrastructure, after which plots will be allocated to individuals to build their homes.
The former Civil Service Commission premises in Umuahia will be transformed into a modern residential estate catering to medium-income earners and a segment of high-income residents.
The estate will feature a mix of housing types, including:
Blocks of flats
Semi-detached duplexes
Standard duplexes
According to Architect Uzoije, the project is designed to change the narrative in Abia’s housing sector, which he noted currently lacks fully functional and well-planned residential estates.
Jobs, Urban Renewal, Economic Growth
The Housing Commissioner emphasized that a mix of development models is being adopted to ensure sustainability, job creation, and timely delivery of the projects.
While the government will directly handle estates within major urban areas to maximize employment opportunities and economic impact, PPP projects will continue in other locations, with the government remaining actively involved in implementation and management.
Boost for Abia’s Development Agenda
The housing initiative is expected to improve access to decent accommodation, stimulate economic activities, drive urban renewal, and increase private-sector participation.
Overall, the programme reinforces Governor Alex Otti’s agenda to redefine public housing, promote inclusive growth, and entrench good governance in Abia State.

Some months ago, The Patriots—led by a former Commonwealth Secretary-General—paid a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa. Their mission was straightforward but urgent: to demand immediate political restructuring of Nigeria as a necessary step to prevent the country from drifting toward systemic collapse. Their position reflected a long-standing concern shared by many Nigerians—that the country’s political architecture is fundamentally flawed and no longer fit for purpose.
President Tinubu, however, reportedly informed the delegation that his immediate priority was economic reform. Since then, the administration has introduced a series of far-reaching economic and fiscal measures, including tax reforms, subsidy removals, and revenue-enhancement strategies aimed at stabilizing public finance and attracting investment.
While economic reform is undoubtedly important, attempting to reform taxation and the economy without first addressing Nigeria’s defective political structure is akin to building a house on a cracked foundation. The danger is not abstract; it is real and growing.
Nigeria operates a highly centralized political system that concentrates power and resources at the federal level, leaving states and local governments weak, dependent, and often unaccountable. This structure breeds inefficiency, corruption, and waste, while discouraging productivity and innovation at subnational levels. In such a system, tax reforms risk becoming punitive rather than developmental—extracting more from citizens without corresponding improvements in governance, infrastructure, or public services.
Moreover, public trust in state institutions remains dangerously low. The credibility of elections, governance processes, and accountability mechanisms has been repeatedly questioned. Many Nigerians still recall controversies surrounding recent elections, including reports of technological failures and procedural lapses that deepened public cynicism about leadership legitimacy. In this context, asking citizens and businesses to shoulder heavier tax burdens without addressing governance deficits is likely to fuel resistance, evasion, and social unrest.
Taxation thrives where there is trust—trust that collected revenues will be judiciously managed, transparently accounted for, and fairly redistributed. In Nigeria’s current political arrangement, that trust is severely eroded. Citizens see little connection between the taxes they pay and the quality of services they receive. Roads remain dilapidated, electricity unreliable, education underfunded, and healthcare inaccessible to the majority.
Political restructuring—whether through true federalism, devolution of powers, fiscal autonomy for states, or electoral reforms—is not a distraction from economic reform; it is its prerequisite. Without restructuring, tax reform risks becoming a time bomb: socially explosive, economically counterproductive, and politically destabilizing.
History offers sobering lessons. States that overburden citizens in the absence of representation, accountability, and inclusion often face backlash—sometimes gradual, sometimes sudden. Nigeria, already grappling with insecurity, unemployment, and widening inequality, cannot afford such an outcome.
In conclusion, economic reform without political reform is incomplete and unsustainable. If Nigeria is truly to be rescued from collapse, fiscal measures must go hand in hand with structural political transformation. Anything less is not reform—it is postponement of an inevitable crisis.

I have written repeatedly on the urgent need to reposition our education system to address the real and pressing needs of our society.
Increasingly, I find myself compelled to ask a simple but uncomfortable question: are our governors truly exceptional, or are they merely overrated by a system that rewards rhetoric over results?
Building a modern and functional society is not rocket science. What is the big deal in constructing durable urban and rural roads?
What is so difficult about developing new cities, functional markets, and well-planned communities?
Development, in its simplest form, is the strategic assemblage of quality human resources, combined with the effective utilization of abundant mineral and natural resources, to deliver basic but critical outcomes: low-cost housing, efficient 21st-century road networks, proper urban and rural planning, a clean and attractive environment, affordable food, public pipe-borne water, and stable, affordable electricity.
Unfortunately, our obsession with certificate education has failed to deliver these essentials.
For decades, we have glorified paper qualifications with little or no practical value, while neglecting productivity, innovation, and real problem-solving capacity.
The result is a growing army of certificate holders who are unemployed, underemployed, or unemployable—graduates trained to seek jobs that do not exist rather than to create value where opportunities abound.
This model must be jettisoned.
We must deliberately transition from certificate-driven education to a skills-based, productivity-oriented system that encourages entrepreneurship, innovation, and wealth creation.
Crucially, this reform must begin from the primary school level. Our pupils should be taught how to add value to their environment—how to identify problems, apply skills, and create solutions—rather than being burdened with obsolete curricula and recycled theories that no longer reflect the realities of the modern world.
In this regard, the initiative of the Soludo administration to introduce skill-based subjects such as solar installation, garment making, GSM repairs, agriculture and agro-processing, plumbing, tiling, POP installation, event management, bakery, hairstyling, makeup artistry, interior design, CCTV and intercom installation, digital literacy, information technology, and robotics is both timely and commendable.
However, introducing skill-based subjects alone is not enough.
Government must go further by deliberately establishing industrial and agricultural villages where these skills can be harnessed, refined, and scaled into a true industrial revolution.
With proper planning, coordination, and investment, young people can begin to create value, build wealth, and earn legitimate and sustainable income.
This approach offers a powerful and practical response to social vices such as kidnapping, internet fraud, armed robbery, and other forms of criminality, which thrive largely on unemployment, frustration, and economic exclusion.
The Soludo government must , therefore be intentional in building a new educational order—one that links learning directly to production. Planning, building, and maintaining new cities, markets, roads, housing estates, and industrial clusters can engage millions of young people in dignified, well-paying jobs while simultaneously transforming the state’s infrastructure and economy.
In today’s fast-changing global economy, practical skills have become the primary driver of human capital demand. Nations that prioritize skills over certificates are the ones creating jobs, driving innovation, and sustaining long-term economic growth.
Our school children must therefore be provided with an academic environment where they learn not only how to read and write, but also how to think critically, solve problems, create wealth, and contribute meaningfully to society.
This strategic shift is aimed at nurturing entrepreneurial thinking, technical competence, and job-ready skills from an early age—ensuring that our graduates leave school prepared to create value, not merely to accumulate certificates, titles, and empty credentials.
Education must once again become a tool for development, not decoration.

Governor Soludo, despite his intellectual depth and strong academic background, appears disconnected from the everyday realities of ordinary people.
With his training in economics, one would have expected policies that stimulate production, expand economic opportunities, and ultimately create quality jobs. Unfortunately, this has not translated into tangible economic prosperity for the people.
More troubling is the failure to build trust—without which public respect and genuine loyalty cannot be earned.
Governments ordinarily deploy public policies to win public confidence and affection. Sadly, Governor Soludo has not demonstrated sufficient empathy or love for the ordinary people of Anambra State. This vacuum partly explains why many still see Nnamdi Kanu as a prophetic figure of the times. Can we entirely blame the people for this perception? It is largely the political and economic elite who endorse Governor Soludo’s approach, including the controversial closure of Onitsha Main Market.
I have never supported the weekly sit-at-home policy; it is unproductive and strategically flawed. At the same time, I cannot endorse Governor Soludo’s increasingly autocratic approach. The Governor has missed a critical opportunity over the past 46 months to genuinely endear himself to the people just like Gov Alex Otti of Abia State.
With the tools of 21st-century good governance, he could have demonstrated what true public service looks like.
Key questions remain unanswered:
Is Governor Soludo genuinely interested in improving electricity supply in Anambra State, especially when the state has regulatory powers over power generation, transmission, and distribution? Why the silence while the state monopolist, EEDC, continues to exploit the people? What of the businessmen mining our crude oil and natural gas ? What about the enforcement of the open grazing law? Food security? Modernization of existing markets and construction of new ones? Low-cost housing? Public pipe-borne water? Industrial and agricultural villages? Where are the economic opportunities? What concrete steps have been taken to reduce the widening income inequalities in the state?
The people are angry—deeply so—and Nnamdi Kanu increasingly appears to them as the last hope. I expected Governor Soludo to consult more widely and engage more inclusively. It is not enough to brand those who obey sit-at-home orders as criminals or terrorist sympathizers.
Politics is driven as much by emotion as by rational thought. Governor Soludo appears uninterested in this emotional dimension, which explains why his speeches fail to resonate with ordinary people.
That said, the people must also share in the blame. Many failed to strike a balance between emotional outrage and rational civic engagement. They had the opportunity to vote Governor Soludo out, yet widespread political apathy prevailed. Some of those who voted sold their votes.
Under such circumstances, how seriously can any government take the people? Too often, our people follow leaders sheepishly and blindly, without critical thinking or accountability.
In truth, we have failed ourselves and must confront the consequences of our collective irrationality.
After God comes the government. We must recognize that we willingly transferred our power to Governor Soludo for four years. It is now our responsibility to organize, engage, and demand accountability—especially in the area of security and economic opportunities.
What we seek is a just, equitable, and fair society where human dignity and mutual respect are guaranteed. Sadly, Nigeria in its current form struggles to deliver this.
Therefore, the call for a new Nation or Nnamdi Kanu release from prison cannot be achieved through sit-at-home protests, but through political processes and active political participation.

A coalition of pro-self-determination groups under the banner Coalition to De-Amalgamate Nigeria for Security (CODES) has announced what it calls a historic alliance between Biafran and Odùduwà movements, urging a peaceful separation of Nigeria into independent national entities.
At a press conference monitored by BVI Channel 1 Online, representatives of the coalition described their initiative as a non-violent political campaign aimed at addressing insecurity, political marginalization, and humanitarian crises across the country.
The Alliance and Its Demands
CODES said it is jointly championed by activists associated with the Yoruba and Igbo self-determination movements. According to the group, the proposed “De-Amalgamation Congress” will be open to all ethnic nationalities in Nigeria who wish to pursue self-governance through legal and internationally recognized processes.
The coalition called for Internationally supervised referendums on self-determination,restructuring or dissolution of Nigeria into separate nations including Biafra and Odùduwà.
Organizers argued that the campaign is grounded in international law, citing provisions in the UN Charter and African human rights instruments that recognize peoples’ rights to political self-determination.
Speakers at the briefing accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect citizens from armed violence and terrorism. They alleged widespread displacement, attacks on rural communities, and a lack of accountability for perpetrators.
They further claimed the country’s current structure lacks the consent of its constituent peoples and therefore cannot guarantee stability. According to the coalition, insecurity across multiple regions has eroded public trust in federal authority.
Government officials have repeatedly rejected similar accusations in the past, maintaining that security agencies are combating insurgency, banditry, and communal violence nationwide.
CODES based much of its position on historical grievances. The group argued that the 1914 amalgamation of Northern and Southern protectorate by British colonial authorities created a state without popular consent and entrenched structural imbalances that persist today.
The coalition also referenced:
The Nigerian civil war and post-war political tensions involving the Igbo
Political disputes affecting Yoruba regions, including the annulled 1993 election.
Long-standing communal conflicts in parts of the Middle Belt.
According to the speakers, these events demonstrate a pattern of unresolved disputes within Nigeria’s federal framework.
The coalition linked its call for separation to ongoing violence involving insurgent groups such as Boko Haram and other armed factions operating in various regions.
It alleged that communities in the North-East, North-West, Middle Belt, South-East, and South-West have experienced repeated attacks and displacement.
The group argued that local self-governance would better enable communities to manage security and accountability.
However, security analysts often note that Nigeria’s conflicts involve multiple complex factors including criminal networks, resource disputes, climate pressures, and regional instability across the Sahel — not solely constitutional arrangements.
CODES appealed to the international community to support what it described as a peaceful political process rather than violent confrontation. The coalition warned that unresolved tensions could lead to wider humanitarian consequences if not addressed through dialogue.
They emphasized that their proposal is intended to prevent conflict, not provoke it, and framed it as a democratic alternative to armed struggle.
The statement was attributed to several prominent figures linked to self-determination advocacy, including:
Prof. Banji Akintoye
Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho)
Dr. Kayode Emola
Nnamdi Kanu (referenced as leader of IPOB)
Other delegates affiliated with the coalition.
Nigeria has long faced debates over restructuring, regional autonomy, and federal balance. While some political leaders advocate constitutional reforms within a united country, separatist groups continue to push for independence.
The federal government has consistently maintained that Nigeria’s unity is non-negotiable, although discussions on devolution of powers and security reforms remain ongoing.
The announcement by CODES is expected to intensify national conversation around governance, security, and identity in Africa’s most populous nation.
Governor Soludo shuts down Onitsha main market for one week after traders obeyed IPOB’s sit-at-home order
The governor of Anambra state, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has ordered the closure of the Onitsha Main Market for one week over the traders’ failure to comply with the directive to defy the Monday sit-at-home order.
The state government had vowed to take decisive action if businesses in the state as well as government officials continue to obey the sit-at-home order of IPOB.
This morning, the governor while visiting the market, noticed most shops were shut down in obedience to the IPOB directive, The governor immediately ordered that the market be shut down till Monday February 2.
It is both tragic and concerning that our leaders continue to prioritize waste, corruption, propaganda, lies, and negative aspects of development over positive initiatives.
Recently, it was reported that $9 million of taxpayers’ money was spent on lobbyists in Washington, which I believe is just a small fraction of the global waste occurring in the same manner. This situation aligns with the disgraceful state of Nigeria.
This is merely a small example of wasteful spending that has contributed to our nation’s current failing status. To further illustrate the impact of such waste, we can look at a critical measure of development: the Human Development Index (HDI). Nigeria has remained stagnant in the low HDI category for 35 years, from 1990 to 2025. In contrast, comparable nations within the same low category, such as China—where Nigeria had a three-fold higher per capita income in 1990—and Indonesia have advanced from low to medium, and now to high categories.
The achievements of these nations were not the result of fate, miracles, or natural endowments, but rather a consequence of choices and the cumulative effects of good and bad leadership. This underscores the importance of prioritization.
To explain further the implications of the $9 million expenditure, let’s consider the components of HDI: life expectancy (health), education, and per capita income (poverty). Nigeria is failing in all three measures. For instance, regarding health, let’s examine the $9 million, which is approximately ₦14 billion spent wrongly. Nigeria now has the lowest life expectancy in the world and ranks among the top two countries globally for maternal mortality, making childbirth one of the most precarious experiences for Nigerian women. Instead of investing in life-saving systems, we spend millions trying to obscure our failures.
Our key medical centers are teaching hospitals, and I will use six—one from each geopolitical zone of Nigeria—to illustrate this failure. For the 2024 capital budget for teaching hospitals, which remains operational today, the allocations are as follows: ₦2.67 billion to the University College Hospital, Ibadan (South-West), ₦2.46 billion to Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria (North-West), ₦2.8 billion to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu (South-East), ₦2.43 billion to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City (South-South), ₦1.16 billion to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin (North-Central), and ₦2.37 billion to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri (North-East), totaling ₦13.9 billion for our premier medical centers.
The $9 million spent on foreign lobbyists could have been used wisely to purchase essential hospital equipment for Nigerian hospitals, improving our healthcare capabilities and positively influencing our national image.
This $9 million is sufficient to fund the entire 2024 capital budget for at least one major teaching hospital in each zone, directly enhancing survival rates, care, and life expectancy. The funds are available; what is lacking are prioritization, discipline, and effective leadership.
This situation is unacceptable. Every naira of taxpayers’ money should serve the Nigerian people. Instead, citizens are dying in failing hospitals while the government pays foreigners to pretend that everything is fine. We cannot continue to live in an illusion while our reality deteriorates. This constant prioritization of trivial matters must come to an end.
