- Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) injected into the Nigerian economy.
- A ruthless killer and kidnapper of Chibok girls died yet the joy witnessed is not as much as that of the death of an Army General, one who died protecting the territorial integrity of Nigeria. There is something fundamentally wrong with some people.
- The kind of push back CNN received from Nigerians they usually get it from official channels, and they will double down that it is an authoritarian state. Nima Elbagir is now desperately holding on to a straw. We cannot allow idiots to set our country on fire over a visa.
- This week, I will formally step aside as HOD Civil Engineering at Modibbo Adama University Yola, it is the best and most challenging job in the academia. Our goal was to be the place of choice, and today, we have PhD students enrolled in 3D printing degrees. Alhamdulillah ✔️!
- This Gowon story shows that the world has abundance of stupid people and morons, and they come in different colours. Black and White.
- The Savannah portion of the Gombe-Yola road was the worst portion on the stretch. On a worse day, one could spend 2hrs on the 10km or so. Please see before & now footage, after the first asphalt layer. It now remains the 10km Lafia mountainous region. History will be kind to PMB.
- My team and I have been awarded a National Research Fund (NRF) Grant to provide access to clean water thru a sustainable 3D printed clay filter reinforced with agro-wastes in line with SDGs Goal 6. In the next 2 years, we will work with an amazing team to train graduate students.

- Alhamdulillah, today I successfully defended my PhD dissertation in Civil Engineering. Words cannot describe the feeling.
- Dear @MBuhari I have a 4 year old that whenever she sees your picture, she will point and say Alh Muhammadu Buhari. There are a lot like her both in and out of school that knows only one thing ‘Baba Buhari dodar.’ Sir, I enjoy you to provide qualitative education for their lives.
- As a foreigner in Malaysia and Turkey, all purchases, loans, and traffic violations are linked to your passport. One cannot leave any immigration point without paying any outstanding debt. The more reason why NIN and BVN are the final loop in our comprehensive database.
- I have delivered my PU026 Upper Benue GRA, Gombe LGA. Presidential Election. APC 424 PDP 60 #NigeriaDecides19 #ElectionDay Gombe people no dey share, winner takes all.
- Moral lesson in life, ‘The Villagers’ with PVCs will continue to decide who governs while ‘We’ are busy making hashtags in the city without PVCs.
