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.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
