Peter Obi Donates 10 Million Naira to College of Nursing Sciences, Mbano
Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate, has once again shown his commitment to the development of Nigeria, particularly in the critical sectors of health and education.
Over the weekend, Obi made a significant contribution to the College of Nursing Sciences in Mbano, Imo State, by donating a generous sum of ten million naira (₦10M).
Obi expressed his delight at the impressive strides made by the institution, which has evolved from being a School of Nursing to a full-fledged College of Nursing Sciences.
The institution has been instrumental in producing well-trained nurses and midwives who play an essential role in the healthcare system, making this contribution even more meaningful.
In his message, Obi spoke on the importance of supporting educational and health institutions, particularly during these challenging times for Nigeria.
He believes that these institutions are at the heart of national development and that they deserve greater attention and funding to help them thrive.
Obi also expressed his gratitude to all those who have worked tirelessly to improve Nigeria’s education and health sectors.
He acknowledged the contributions of individuals, organizations, and government bodies, recognizing that their efforts are vital to building a stronger, more prosperous nation.
In closing, Obi reaffirmed his belief in the possibility of a “New Nigeria,” one that will be shaped by collective effort, vision, and determination.
He assured Nigerians that the efforts being put into the development of education and healthcare would eventually lead to the transformation of the country into a more productive, healthier, and more educated society.
Nigerian Politician and Human Rights Activist, Omoyele Sowore shows up to defend and support the NYSC corp member that has been threatened.
It can be recalled that a viral video has made its way to the country. A young lady who is serving the country laments about the government and President.
The viral video also gained the attention of NYSC, resulting to messaging the corp member. The message ordered the removal of the video and for the lady to report the office on 17th of March, 2025.
However fellow Nigerians and activists have spoken out and called to defend the Corp member against any official threat.
It was reported that Sowore arrived to the local government of the corp member to showcase support in handling the case.
Omoyele Sowore and some activists, including lawyers, accompanied Ushie Uguamaye, a Lagos-based National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member known as Raye, to meet with her Local Government Inspector (LGI) after she was summoned over a viral video.
Raye recently gained attention after she criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration in a TikTok video posted under her handle #talktoraye. In the video, she expressed frustration over Nigeria’s worsening economic situation and blamed Tinubu for the country’s struggles, even calling him a “terrible leader.”
Shortly after her comments went viral, Raye claimed that NYSC officials had started threatening her. As a result, she was called to appear at the LGI’s office on Monday for questioning.
On Monday, Sowore, alongside several lawyers, including Festus Ogun, Yinka Oyesomi, and Justice Ojienoh, accompanied Raye to the office to support her. However, according to Sowore, the NYSC officials were nowhere to be found. He shared on his X handle that the LGI failed to show up despite Raye being scheduled to appear.
In a recent development, former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has voiced strong support for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, also known as Raye.
Raye recently gained attention after posting a TikTok video expressing her frustrations over the rising cost of living in Nigeria. In the video, she tearfully stated the increasing prices of goods and services, questioning the current administration’s efforts to address these economic challenges.
Following the video’s circulation, Raye alleged that she received threats from NYSC officials, pressuring her to remove the content and cautioning her against making political statements online.
Peter Obi took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to condemn these alleged threats, stating that such actions are antithetical to the principles of democracy. He emphasized that silencing citizens reflects a corrupt and undemocratic government.
Obi also shared his personal experiences of facing intimidation and harassment for offering constructive criticism of government policies.
Obi called on the current administration to reflect deeply on its approach to dissent, underscoring that constructive criticism is a cornerstone of democratic progress.
He urged Nigerians to stand firm and continue advocating for a nation where freedom of speech is upheld, and leadership remains accountable, especially in critical areas like education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation.
