Supreme Court Verdict: Calm Can Return to Imo with Rate Your Leader App – Popoola

Published

on

By Eric Elezuo

All is not well in the political setting of Imo State presently following the Supreme Court judgment which sacked the former governor, Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), replacing him with Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who came a distant fourth in the March 9, 2019 governorship election.

Ever since, accusations and counter accusations have trailed the political space of Imo State in particular, and the nation generally, culminating in the massive protest held in Owerri on Sunday, which spread to some other parts of the country.

However, there is a particular solution to the impasse that threatens to turn upside down the peace of the political process in Imo State and the country at large, and that is the use of the Rate Your Leader app, which facilitates unhindered communication between the elected and the electors.

According to the Founder and seasoned techprenuer, Mr. Joel Popoola, the Rate Your Leader app is a new technological innovation, which enables stress-free interaction between political office holders and members of their constituencies. He noted that with the app, it is easy for both the deposed governor, and the installed governor to reach out to their constituents one on one in an abuse free discussion towards finding a lasting solution to the crisis that was created as a result of the judgment.

Recall that Governor Hope Uzodinma had on Sunday asked the people of the state to pray for his administration to succeed.

The governor spoke during a thanksgiving service at the Holy Trinity Catholic Parish at his home town, Omuma, in the Oru East Local Government Area of the state.

“Uzodinma’s could as well be made to individuals on a one on one basis, and the message will go down well with the recipient. Note that there is nothing the gives a voter or constituent more hope or encouragement that to hear or read directly from elected leader,” Popoola said

Uzodinma, who was on Tuesday declared the duly elected governor of the state by the Supreme Court, said only prayers would make his administration to succeed.

Rate Your Leader app is available on Google play store, and is due to be launched in Nigeria in February. The app has already made a level of progress in the United Kingdom where it has been in existence.

Tinubu Salutes Osun State Governor Adeleke on 65th Birthday

“President Bola Tinubu extends warm felicitations to the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on his 65th birthday on May 13.

“The President notes that the Peoples Democratic Party governor has created a niche for himself as a politician of reckoning not only in Osun State but also across the country and beyond.

“Adeleke was first elected Senator representing Osun West Senatorial District in 2017, taking over from his late brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, before becoming governor in 2022.

“Commending Governor Adeleke, President Tinubu notes that he has proven to be pan-Nigerian in his way of life and governance philosophy, exemplified by his Yoruba and Igbo heritage.

“The President personally prays for more years, good health and God’s infinite mercies on Governor Adeleke, the Asiwaju of Edeland, his hometown.”

London: Dr Orlando to Host Elite Cybersecurity Masterclass Amid Soaring Global Threats

Published

By

Dr. Orlando Olumide Odejide, Founder of Transformation College of Business and Technology, is set to headline a high-level cybersecurity masterclass in London on May 9, 2025—an event drawing sharp attention amid rising global digital threats.

With more than 20 years of cybersecurity leadership and frameworks currently safeguarding over $4 billion in assets across three continents, Dr. Odejide’s expertise arrives at a critical juncture. The digital battleground is escalating fast: global ransomware and extortion campaigns spiked by 72% in late 2024, contributing to over 5,000 documented attacks last year alone.

It’s not just the volume that’s increasing—it’s the complexity, and the cost. Cyber-related losses now dominate insurance claims, reshaping the risk landscape for corporations and governments alike.

One particularly sobering incident involved the UK’s healthcare sector, where a targeted attack on a pathology provider triggered major service disruptions. Across the corporate sphere, 43% of UK companies admitted to breaches in the past year. Yet even as threats grow, 68% of organisations say they lack the cybersecurity talent to respond effectively—leaving critical systems exposed and boards scrambling for solutions.

The regulatory noose is tightening, too. PCI DSS 4.0, now mandatory as of April 2024, brings sweeping new controls for payment security, with enforcement deadlines looming in March 2025. Meanwhile, the UK is preparing legislation that will accelerate breach reporting requirements and introduce stiff penalties for non-compliance.

Dr. Odejide’s London masterclass is tailored to this moment. Participants will receive hands-on training in ISO 27001 implementation, practical deployment of the updated NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, and actionable strategies to navigate PCI DSS 4.0.

With just 35 seats available, demand is already high among FTSE 100 security heads, fintech compliance leads, and public sector cyber teams.

Far from a routine seminar, this session offers a tactical edge in a world where cyber warfare is no longer hypothetical. As Dr. Odejide prepares to take the stage, professionals charged with protecting sensitive systems are being offered more than a learning experience—it’s a survival toolkit. Applications close May 7.
