NIGERIA @65: A NATION RISING BEYOND CHALLENGES

Sixty-five years after independence, Nigeria remains a work in progress. A story of resilience, promise, and determination. Ours is a nation that has survived turbulence, overcome setbacks, and yet continues to stand as Africa’s most powerful voice.

This year’s anniversary is more than a ritual commemoration. It is a call to renew our sense of duty to one another and to the generations ahead. The Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration deserves recognition for the strides already made: restoring macroeconomic stability, encouraging local production over reckless imports, investing in social interventions, and reaffirming Nigeria’s leadership on the continent. These are bold beginnings that must be sustained with consistency and urgency.

I particularly commend the words of Vice President Kashim Shettima at the 80th United Nations General Assembly. His call for a permanent African seat on the UN Security Council, for sovereign debt relief, for fair access to trade and financing, for equity in resource ownership, and for closing the digital divide so that “AI means Africa Included” captures the very essence of Nigeria’s place in the world. These are not abstract declarations, they are the lived realities that define our struggle as a nation.

In the Senate, my motions and bills have been guided by these same convictions:

•That justice must be pursued, whether through reparations for historical wrongs or reconciliation for national tragedies.

•That dignity must be guaranteed, whether through attaining veto power at the UN security council, the establishment of a National Social Security Agency or by ensuring healthcare and education reforms that work for Nigerians at home.

•That sovereignty must be protected, whether by stopping crude oil theft, ending gas flaring, or reclaiming control over our mineral wealth.

•That opportunity must be created, whether through youth entrepreneurship, diaspora voting, indigenous participation in mining, or the expansion of our digital economy.

Nigeria at 65 must choose to lead, not as a country of wasted potential, but as a nation that transforms its wealth into wellbeing for its people. We must secure our communities, empower our youth, modernize our infrastructure, and build institutions that outlive individuals. We must insist that no Nigerian is left behind. Not the farmer in the village, nor the entrepreneur in the city, or the vulnerable in need of support.

Our journey is far from finished. But if we keep faith with one another, strengthen collaboration between the executive and legislature, and place people at the center of our policies, then this decade can be the turning point when Nigeria moves from survival to greatness.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.
As resilience meets hope, with courage we arise stronger.

IN DEFENCE OF SENATOR NED NWOKO: ANIOMA STATE AND THE IGBO QUESTION

I read with amusement Harry Asoti’s latest rejoinder to Professor Steve Okecha, purportedly written in defence of Ndokwa people against alleged “slander.” But like many of these hurried interventions, the piece misses the forest for the trees. While Asoti is busy trying to polish local sentiments and draw artificial boundaries, he forgets the broader historical truth: Anioma is Igbo-speaking, Anioma people are culturally and linguistically tied to the larger Igbo world, and what Senator Prince Ned Nwoko is doing today follows in the proud footsteps of leaders like Chief Dennis Osadebay and Senator Nosike Ikpo.

Let me teach Prof about the historical precedent.
Let us begin with history, which neither Asoti nor Professor Okecha can wish away. When Chief Dennis Osadebay, an Anioma son from Asaba, spearheaded the agitation for the Mid-West Region, he did so explicitly as an Igbo-speaking Anioma leader. The entire architecture of the Mid-West was built on the recognition that Anioma people were of Igbo stock, distinct from Benin but connected to their kith and kin across the Niger. Osadebay went on to become the first Premier of the Mid-West Region—a political reality founded on the same identity that today’s detractors want to erase.

Similarly, Senator Nosike Ikpo, another illustrious Anioma son, never minced words in affirming the Igbo heritage of Anioma people. In multiple public statements and political engagements, Ikpo made clear that our identity is not up for debate. Anioma is Igbo, and Igbo is Anioma. The records are there for any honest researcher to consult.

We must understand Senator Ned Nwoko’s Continuity, and not see it as an Invention
Against this background, what exactly is Senator Ned Nwoko doing wrong? He is not “selling out” his people, as Asoti tries to insinuate. He is simply continuing the historic mandate of Anioma leaders who came before him: securing political space and recognition for Anioma people within the proper geopolitical framework.

The agitation for Anioma State in the South-East is not a betrayal but an affirmation. It is a natural extension of our history, our culture, and our language. Anioma people speak Igbo dialects; our culture, festivals, and names resonate with Igbo identity. To deny this is to indulge in political self-deception.

The Jealousy and Clout-Chasing of Today’s Critics is what you're seeing that is triggering these baseless articles against the Anioma State Creation in the south East geopolitical zone.
The venom of Professor Okecha and his cheerleaders like Asoti betrays not intellectual honesty but sheer jealousy. For decades, Anioma sons and daughters have struggled to have their voices heard at the national stage. Senator Ned Nwoko has done more in the last few years to project Anioma identity than many armchair critics have done in their lifetime. Rather than applaud his boldness, they reduce themselves to petty attacks, labeling his supporters “dogs” or, in Asoti’s case, scrambling to defend narrow sectional pride.

Let us be clear: the issue is not about whether Ndokwa, Ika, or Aniocha/Oshimili has said this or that. The issue is the undeniable truth of Anioma’s Igbo identity. All attempts to fragment this truth into artificial ethnic blocs are politically motivated distractions.

Professor Okocha should understand the geopolitical Imperatives.
The South-East has for long been the only geopolitical zone with five states instead of six. The agitation for Anioma State is not just cultural; it is a geopolitical correction. By creating Anioma State in the South-East, equity and balance will finally be restored in Nigeria’s federal arrangement. Anyone opposing this is either ignorant of the structural injustice or simply playing to the gallery for selfish gains.

Senator Ned Nwoko deserves commendation, not condemnation. He stands in the line of Dennis Osadebay and Nosike Ikpo—leaders who proudly identified Anioma as Igbo and fought for political structures that recognized this fact. Professor Okecha’s careless words and Asoti’s misguided rejoinders cannot erase history.

Those fighting Anioma’s inclusion in the South-East are not defenders of heritage; they are opportunists chasing clout, jealous of Senator Nwoko’s vision, and blind to the historical truth that Anioma is, was, and will remain an integral part of the Igbo nation.

Anioma belongs in the South-East. Anioma deserves its state. And no amount of slander will change that.

NO HOPE FOR DELTA NORTH IN GOV SHERIFF OBOROVWORI ADMINISTRATION

The marginalization of Delta North senatorial district is a pressing concern. The 2025 budget has allocated only a fraction of the state's resources to this district, with N18 billion naira earmarked for the entire district, compared to over N300 billion naira for Delta Central.

This disparity is evident in the infrastructure projects allocated to each district. While Delta Central boasts of projects worth hundreds of billions of naira, Delta North has to make do with a meager N6 billion naira for each of the three federal constituencies: Ndokwa, Ika, and Aniocha.

The decision to allocate N2 billion naira to each of the 25 local government areas in the state, including those already receiving massive investments, further highlights the perceived marginalization of Delta North.

It's worth noting that the Delta State Executive Council has approved a proposed budget of N936 billion for the 2025 fiscal year, with N587.4 billion allocated for capital expenditure and N348.7 billion for recurrent expenditure.

However, the distribution of these funds has raised concerns about equity and fairness.

The call for greater investment in Delta North, particularly in the areas of light and water, is a legitimate one.

The people of Delta North are seeking a more equitable distribution of resources, with some arguing that the district deserves at least N150 billion naira in investments.

On a normal day, if you're to map out over 50 billion naira projects for your senatorial district where you come from as a governor, the other 2 senatorial districts are supposed to get at least 20-30billion naira projects and no section will feel marginalized.

This marginalization is also very visible in appointments and the said training empowerments of the state government.

With a Deputy Governor, Commissioner for Finance, DESOPADEC MD, House Of Assembly members, all we can have for infrastructural projects is N6 billion naira for Ndokwa Nation, N6 billion naira for Ika and N6 billion naira for Aniocha, making it only N18 billion naira for the entire Delta North Senatorial District, while Delta Central is having over 300 billion naira worth infrastructural projects.

Senator Ned Nwoko seems to be the only Delta North Senatorial District representative that is thinking and talking straight for the betterment of his people.

It's therefore the most unfortunate thing to note that it is the said leaders of Ndokwa and Delta North that are the ones hurrying to pass a vote of confidence on the governor for their own interest as against the interest of the people.

We're watching
