Peter Obi Urges Nigerian Students to Seek Opportunities Abroad Until Nigeria Is Fixed
In a recent visit to two higher education institutions in Anambra State, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, encouraged Nigerian students aspiring for better opportunities abroad to pursue their dreams if local circumstances make it challenging to thrive.
Addressing this topic candidly, Obi highlighted that Nigeria’s economic and educational landscape has driven many talented young people to seek work overseas, and he understands their motivations.
During his visit, Obi made donations to Peter University in Achina/Onneh and the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu, stressing his commitment to uplifting education in Nigeria.
At the College of Nursing Sciences, he spoke directly to the students, reinforcing his dedication to backing institutions that build skill, character, and professionalism, qualities that he sees as crucial for the nation’s future.
Reflecting on his visit, he noted that he was fulfilling a promise he made earlier, mentioning he would have been there last year if not for election obligations.
He reminded the students that leaders must work to build public trust by following through on commitments, especially when it comes to education, which he views as a powerful tool for personal and national growth.
Encouraging openness to global opportunities, Obi expressed his opinion that students should not be restricted by policies that may limit them from working abroad.
Addressing the Nursing Council’s approach to restricting graduates from migrating, he voiced his belief that students deserve the freedom to seek better prospects outside Nigeria if they choose.
He added that, ideally, the goal should be to build a Nigeria where young people would naturally want to stay or, if they go abroad, would be eager to return to a prosperous homeland.
Earlier in the day, Obi also shared inspiring words with students at Peter University, emphasizing that a strong academic foundation is key to personal empowerment and national advancement.
He encouraged students to treat their education as an investment in their future, one that will yield results in their personal lives and the larger society.
He stressed the transformative potential of quality education, which he believes can pave the way for a better Nigeria.
The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has uncovered $4.7 trillion in untraceable payments within the U.S. Treasury Department.
In a statement released on Monday via its official X account, DOGE explained that the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) field was previously optional for these payments, which made tracking nearly impossible.
The TAS field is a crucial identification code that links Treasury payments to specific budget line items.
DOGE mentioned that following its intervention over the weekend, the TAS field is now a mandatory requirement for Treasury payments.
The White House clarified on Monday that Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration is as a senior adviser to the president, not as an official employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
A filing from Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House’s Office of Administration, confirmed that Musk does not have decision-making power and can only offer advice or relay the president’s directives.
Fisher’s filing, part of a case against Musk filed by the State of New Mexico, emphasized that Musk is not employed by the US DOGE Service, nor does he hold the title of DOGE Service Administrator.
The filing also stressed that, like other senior White House advisors, Musk lacks the formal authority to make government decisions on his own.
A bold moment unfolded at the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach Ministry (ZPMO) when a female member publicly proposed to evangelist Ebuka Obi during the church’s Singles Conference on Sunday.
The unexpected proposal was captured in a viral video shared by the ZPMO founder on his Instagram page. In the clip, the woman revealed that she had received a prophecy years ago about marrying a prophet and later had a dream confirming the person’s identity.
“In 2022, someone prophesied that I would marry a prophet. I believed the message, and God confirmed it in my dream. I also received the person’s name, but he wasn’t someone I could just approach. So, as a Christian sister, I kept praying that God would reveal it to him,” she explained.
Curious, the Imo State-based cleric asked her to describe the person, hinting at whether she had met him before. Without hesitation, she responded, “Not just somewhere. I’m seeing the person right now. Daddy, the person is from Imo State.”
Shocked by the unexpected revelation, Ebuka Obi responded with laughter, captioning the post with laughing emojis and writing, “She proposed marriage to EVANG EBUKA OBI during the Singles Conference.”
