We must aggregate the best of our different sub-national cultures to create a national culture. The time has come for us to define who we are. A national lifestyle must evolve.
I am two weeks old as the DG of the National Orientation Agency (NOA). Contrary to what many Nigerians think, the Management and staff I met at the NOA are top-class workers who understand their responsibilities.
People who have nothing but hatred for their country should be ashamed of themselves. The knife that damages its scabbard would be shelterless.
The narrative that the Chicago State University (CSU)'s registrar, Caleb Westberg, alluded to forgery is false.
Our attention has just been drawn to the fact that the APC's official website, has been hacked with unauthorised content posted on it. I have asked that the site be taken down. Steps underway to clean it up. We won't allow them succeed in their evil plots
Earlier today, I was at the Palace of Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade, with the Abuja team and Ondo State directorate's staff. Ondo State is the fourth state I have visited in less than three weeks as we activate the NOA structures in readiness for the

with membership drawn across sectors and demographics, knocking down theories into practicable details. The process of conceptualising our ideas has reached an advanced stage. We will be unveiling a relatable national value charter in due course.
At the 3rd Nigeria Digital Content event by the National Films and Videos Censor Board in Lagos, I met top guns in the creative industry. The creative sector is a major stakeholder in the national lifestyle (values) charter that the National Orientation Agency will unveil soon.
I have energised the NOA structures in two weeks towards our new vision. The system is ready to rock and roll. We have put together a thematic national value concept. We have constituted a Technical Working Committee (TWC)
The Directors and staff have built up enormous know-how over the years, making my job easier. The Minister and I understand the expectations of Nigerians. We have clear ideas of how to deliver on the mandate of the agency and the confidence the President places in us.
Opinion gymnasts, integrity entrapped in the quicksands of time and chance. Dem plenty for we country.
Too shifty for conscience that it no longer smites them. Opportunity can be cruel; it is capable of laying bare a well disguised hustle instinct.
Good morning, folks.
"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45)?
Atiku wants to be President because northerners don't want Yoruba and Igbo as Nigeria's President. Atiku's presidency is a calamity foretold. Gov Wike and associates are actually right. They knew!
Politicising crime undermines the wellbeing of our society. Sen Abbo committed a crime. We should all condemn it wearing green-white-green. It’s about our country, not political party. When we treat all criminals with common disdain, our politics becomes a pursuit of common good.
It is not the practice of CSU to certify a certificate. In Nigeria, it is a requirement in the court. That is the "Nigerian thing". But for Confirmation Bias, that means forgery. SAD.
As part of his commitment to foster lasting attitudinal change in Nigeria, the Director General, MallamLanre Issa-Onilu has taken the campaign to the grassroots.
At the palace of HRM Oba AbdulRasheed Ayotunde Olabomi, Aragbiji Of Iragbiji. Odundun II, in Iragbiji, Osun state.
Last week, I received the Director of Psychological Operations of the Nigerian Army, Brig. Gen. Keji and his team in my office. The visit continued our collaboration efforts to rid the country of criminality. The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, through
“NOA is back after years of winking in the dark”
On the “Platform” NTA news network, discussing the strides of the new energy in the NOA. Outlining the plan, DG, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu says “NOA is back after years of winking in the dark”
As we inch closer to the unveiling of the national lifestyle charter and deploy the CLHEEAN project nationwide, we invited advertising and public relations agencies to pitch for the global campaign for value education, national culture promotion, and reputational management.
NOA
Akwa Ibom was the third state directorate after Kwara and Lagos I visited in two weeks. As NOA ramps up the processes of putting Structure and Platforms in place preparatory for rolling out our new vision, we need to start sensitising and mobolising from within NOA

Mr. Welberg's reference to "a Nigerian thing" was in response to the request made by Mr. Wole Afolabi, acting on behalf of President Tinubu, to certify the certificate.
13TH All-African Game
The whistle was blown for the 4x100m Mixed race to commence, while Nigeria’s national anthem was rendered for the medal ceremony of the Men's Javelin throw. Despite being on the tracks and the whistle blown for the race to begin, our male athletes stood
1. Now they admit Senator Kashim Shettima is top class same way they admitted Fashola, Ambode, Sanwo-Olu, Osinbajo, Akabueze, etc., are top class. Then, they ask, what of Jagaban? And you're like, excuse me, have you ever seen a dunce attracting the best around himself?
I monitored the deposition live. People about town with mischievous narratives read from people who do not mean well for our country and who most likely also relied on distorted reports.
grand unveiling of our charter. I intimated the Deji of NOA's strategic plan for the traditional rulers as critical drivers of the national value charter. Traditional rulers are pivotal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s agenda for peace and national cohesion.

1. A man went round over 20 states over two months campaigning to be elected as the presidential flagbearer of his party. For over three months after the primary, he has been putting in average of 17 hours a day making consultations, hosting visitors...
We need to set our party apart from the rest. It's time to define the distinct personality of APC by creating an ideological identity that speaks to the development worldview we subscribe to.
Professionalism, experience, and passion for the job are the ingredients in my kitty as I seek support for the office of the National Publicity Secrerary of APC.
4. The campaign council will be inaugurared and he will lead the campaign. He will be your next president. God willing. For those asking where he is, you may proceed to the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, to receive him now. May your conscience continue to turture you
Our party deserves more than a perfunctory, piecemeal and knee-jerk information disemmination. It's time to tell success stories through strategic communication.
Lessons in Leadership Series (President Bola Ahmed Tinubu)
Before Nairobi, there was Bissau
Three Kernels to Note in President Tinubu’s Speech at the Ecowas Meeting (In paraphrases)
3. NBA wanted him to prove himself when the Eko Atlantic, the Nigerian Dubai in the making, where they held event is a product of the brilliance and vision of the big thinker called Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. What further testimony! The joke is obviously on you delusional lots.
2. Do you understand what qualities you must possess to spot, raise, and attract talents?
That is, if they choose to pretend they didn’t know Asiwaju excelled in the private sector and was exceptional as a Governor.
3. Nigeria is back: your big brother has woken up to its responsibilities. We would not be the giant of Africa for nothing. Brace up for the long-awaited leadership from the most populous black nation. (Africa's Daniel has come to judgement)
Hope undergoing sure-footed renewal.
4. FFK could have done better for himself with such a manager who could help him bridge the gap between what he thinks of himself (identity) and who much of the public thinks he is (image).
3. To you, a lost soul, he just must fall sick. It is your wish that he either falls sick or even dies. You claim to be either a muslim or a Christian; but you've given your soul to the devil. Asiwaju, a man of destiny, will soon unveil his transformative manifesto.
2. He has been setting up structures in preparation for a 5-month long campaign.
No other candidate has been as active as he has been. He took about 10 days off and left for London. Neither videos nor photos could assuage your devilish thoughts.
Asiwaju on my mind!
'I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron."

The abuse is widespread, and ignorance is the leading cause.
We are working to combine enlightenment and enforcement at a countrywide scale. Please be on the lookout. I am very proud of your commitment to our country.
1. There's a place for adversarial questioning in journalism. And you won't accomplish much in investigative reporting if you cannot frame provocative questions. Eyo Charles' question might as well be the best question of that press briefing.

Thomas Partey is frustrated obviously, not getting ball from mates who are too defensive and playing with no conviction and can't pay pass between the lines.
3. lawyers for contractual obligations, and doctors for their health. I guess their image is not that important, so, they don't retain a reputation manager.
2. I have had the privilege of asking and being asked. In other climes, public figures get assisted for a fee for four things; namely, management of funds, reputation, legal needs, and health. In Nigeria, most public figures retain financial experts to manage their funds,
2. Exploitation of West Africa, nay Africa, will not happen under my watch. I will pass this message to the African Union (AU), European Union (EU), Britain, and America. Our people have suffered enough! (A conscientious leader)
@skola_tunde
I am here. Watch us as we transform the agency. We are putting the structures in place to fulfil our mandates. Thank you for your patriotic concern.
