Nigeria’s soft power has always been one of our strongest global assets — from our cultural influence to our intellectual capital and the resilience that defines us everywhere we go. But yesterday’s session with Dr Joseph Ochogwu, DG of Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR), pushed that understanding to a whole new depth.

He broke down peace not as an abstract idea, but as a national resource that must be intentionally cultivated. He explained how our diplomacy, behaviour, communication, and everyday interactions shape Nigeria’s image just as much as formal foreign policy.
What stood out most was how he deconstructed our mindset — moving us from seeing peace as passive, to recognising it as strategic, practical and deeply tied to national development.

His insights on national cohesion, community resilience, and Nigeria’s role in global diplomacy were a masterclass. A timely reminder that peacebuilding is not the work of institutions alone; it is the work of all of us.

Nigeria has the potential to lead the continent not just with power, but with influence, ideas and intentional diplomacy. Our soft power is our silent strength.

HAPPY GRADUATION to me and my incredible colleagues!
Nine months of intentional learning, sharpened perspectives, tough conversations, and real personal growth all wrapped up.

The Open Minds Young Voices Fellowship stretched me, refined my thinking, and deepened my commitment to governance, leadership, and meaningful civic engagement. It wasn’t just training; it was transformation.

To my fellow OMYV graduates — we did it. We stayed consistent, showed up for each other, and finished strong. I’m proud of the community we built and the future we’re stepping into.

Here’s to new chapters, bigger responsibilities, and voices that shape better outcomes for our communities.
The work continues, and the journey is just getting started. ✨

I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected as one of 50 Nigerians chosen from over 7,000 applicants for the prestigious LMI Fellowship.

This is a programme that builds leaders with the capacity to solve real national challenges, and I’m proud to be stepping into this cohort representing Abia State — God’s Own State.

Every stage of my journey continues to reinforce one lesson: stay focused, stay prepared, and stay committed.
Opportunities find people who keep showing up.

I’m looking forward to engaging with brilliant minds across the country, sharpening my leadership capacity, and contributing meaningfully to the work ahead.

A new chapter, a bigger platform, and a stronger drive is born.

Sovereignty is supposed to be a country’s first line of protection. Yet today Nigeria’s global posture and domestic security paint a more complicated picture.
First, our diplomatic footprint is frayed. More than two years after a mass recall of envoys, a large share of Nigeria’s ~109 diplomatic missions still operate without substantive ambassadors — a gap that weakens our ability to defend national interest, manage crises, and sustain commercial and security partnerships.
Second, the international spotlight has become a source of pressure as well as peril. Recent public threats of foreign military action over allegations of mass persecution have shocked many Nigerians and exposed how quickly external rhetoric can escalate into geopolitical risk — even when claims remain disputed. Those statements matter because they change the calculus for foreign partners, investors, and regional security actors.
And yet Nigeria is not helpless on paper. By common measures of capability we rank among Africa’s more powerful militaries — a sign of scale, personnel and equipment. But military ranking and peacekeeping pedigree do not automatically translate into internal security or citizen protection. Our forces are dispersed across counter-insurgency fronts, underfunded in critical logistics, and operating inside a complex political and economic environment that non-state actors exploit.

So why does insecurity persist despite apparent strength? Because modern protection is multi-dimensional:
• Military capacity matters, but so do governance, rule of law, corruption control and community trust.
• Diplomatic reach matters — empty embassies mean fewer ears and fewer advocates when crises cross borders.
• Socio-economic fractures and competition over land, resources and identity create recruitment pools for violent groups.

Nigeria must work in my lifetime.
It is my only country. 🇳🇬❤️

The recent stats from the NBS reveals that over 150 million Nigerians are living below the poverty line and this is not only dangerous but puts a question mark on our development as a country.

More so, from the design of our society n̈o one is safe,as income earners now service family and the less privileged.

The cycle goes on.

Speak up and Speak Out now.

Nigeria 🇳🇬 must be great again.

While the Indigenization Policy strengthens economic sovereignty, it also reveal challenges, such as limited local capital, weak managerial capacity, and over-reliance on oil revenues slowing its impact.
Still, it laid the foundation for ongoing debates on how best to balance foreign investment with indigenous empowerment in Nigeria’s economy.

Glorious September ✨️🇳🇬🌍

Every August, the world dresses up its praise for the youth with panels, speeches and hashtags.
But too often, it ends the same way: applause instead of opportunity, exposure instead of pay.

Exposure does not pay rent. It does not feed a family. It does not sustain the very brilliance it praises.

Across countries, ninety percent of young people remain boxed in by the same barriers: little to no funding, rigid policies, closed networks and systems that keep telling them to wait their turn.
But the worlds biggest problems are not waiting.
Climate change is not waiting.
Unemployment is not waiting. Hunger is not waiting.

If we are serious about youth as the future we must invest in them in the present, not with token invites but with trust, resources and the space to lead.

This International Youth Day let us move beyond paying with exposure. Let us pay with respect, opportunity and the tools to change the world.
