What we are seeing here is verbal and emotional abuse of a child. Bedwetting is not a reason to shame, ridicule, humiliate or publicly expose a child.

Children deserve to grow up in environments where they feel safe, loved and supported, especially when they are experiencing something they may not even be able to control.

This is why we keep talking about child wellbeing and positive parenting. The adults responsible for raising children have a duty to protect their emotional and psychological wellbeing, not become the source of their pain.

PROTECTING FOOTBALL, RESTORING NATIONAL PRIDE

Football occupies a special place in our national life. It brings Nigerians together across generations and communities, and our country has never lacked talent, passion or support for the game.

Yet, our results have too often fallen short of what Nigeria should expect.

I have therefore directed a comprehensive reform of Nigerian football following our repeated failures to qualify for major regional, continental and world tournaments.

The problems are structural, and our response must address them.

@winexviv This situation is the reason the PTA of the school my daughter attends, collaborated with the School Management to institute the "Bread Winners Insurance" policy. The child will complete the secondary education at the parent's demise.

Rufai: You hardly offer solutions. For instance, while speaking recently you talked about adding extra megawatts and targeting 10,000 megawatts. Can you give a breakdown of how you are going to achieve that 10,000 megawatts of electricity?

Peter Obi’s response: Somebody said, “If I don’t give you power, don’t vote for me.” Did he tell you how he is going to give you power? So why must my own be in the marketplace?

JUST IN: FG wants to build a website where Nigerians can check how all 774 local governments spend public money. You’ll be able to see their allocations, budgets, projects and audited accounts. In simple terms, citizens can monitor how their councils use public funds.

Here is the truth .

In the corporate sector we are trained to call each other by first names .

The idea is to remove the barrier that differences in age , experience and cadre may bring in the work place .

In many banks , this is the work place policy .

However , there are unwritten rules .

If you are speaking to the chairman of the board , it is wiser to address him or her as formally as possible and allow them correct you .

For many seniors they develop acronyms like TOE referenced here which they will clearly state you can refer to them by .

The rookie mistake the lady made is forgivable . It is likely what she was taught in training school .

Just 20 minutes ago, York University, Canada has now reinstated this boy’s admission.

They went through my X account, saw the concerns I raised about WAEC, and concluded that there was an issue with WAEC.

The boy is now happy and will travel to Canada for his education.

BREAKING: President Tinubu has approved a proposed amendment to Nigeria’s mental health law to end the application of the colonial-era provisions that treat attempted suicide as a criminal offence.

The amendment aims to decriminalise attempted suicide, shifting the country’s approach from prosecution of people in psychological distress to treatment, care, and psychosocial support.

Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Pate, disclosed this on Wednesday while briefing journalists at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

Pate said the proposed amendment to the National Mental Health Act will be transmitted to the National Assembly as an executive bill.

According to him, the reform recognises attempted suicide principally as a public health and mental health issue requiring professional intervention rather than punishment.

He added that the Federal Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry of Justice worked together on the proposed amendment, which has now received FEC’s approval for onward transmission to the National Assembly.

This is excellent work, which has my wholehearted support. Lower the cost of cement and food, accelerate the adoption of CNG to ease transportation costs, and remove the taxes and surcharges on solar panels, inverters and batteries, and the cost of living will start to come down.

Release - Cement FCCPC Establishes Possible Price Manipulation

Tuesday, August 18, 2026: Findings from an industry-wide investigation conducted by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) suggest possible manipulation of prices of cement in the Nigerian market.

This is the preliminary summation of the 40-page field reports collated following a three-month cross-border study by the Anticompetitive Practices Department (ACP) of the Commission, undertaken in response to widespread public complaints over the high cost of cement, a common staple in the country's construction industry.

Concerns were raised over the comparatively high retail price of cement in Nigeria compared with other markets, despite the country's substantial limestone deposits, significant domestic production capacity and reported surplus installed capacity relative to domestic consumption.

Significantly, all the major cement manufacturers in the country cooperated with the Commission by making their records available except one of them.

Publicly available estimates indicate that three major undertakings account for more than 90 percent of installed production capacity in the country.

The ACP investigations extended to markets in Sub-Saharan Africa like Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa as well as Egypt, Morocco and Algeria.

Metrics adopted included the availability of limestone, the basic raw material for cement production, as well as other variables such as population, production capacity and consumption.

In Kenya, for instance, the 58.6 million population (76% lower than Nigeria’s) has domestic cement demand of approximately 9.3m MTPA (metric tonne per annum) in 2025. Retail price in Nairobi is $5.40 (N7,344). Kenya is endowed with limestone.

In Tanzania, with population of 66.3m (72% lower than Nigeria’s) and the domestic cement demand is 9.3m MTPA (2025), a bag of cement sells for $4.80 (N6,528).

In Togo, a bag sells for $6.75 (N9,180). Significantly, Togo does not have limestone deposit.

Comparatively, in Nigeria, market intelligence reviewed by the Commission shows that the retail price of a 50kg bag of cement rose significantly during the first half of 2026.

A bag reportedly selling for between N9,300 and N9,700 in January was selling for between N10,500 and N13,000 by mid-year. By July, prices of between N13,000 and N15,000 were reported in some parts of the country.

The Commission's survey indicates that Nigeria has installed cement production capacity of more than 60 to 65 million metric tonnes annually, while estimated domestic consumption is approximately 25 to 30 million metric tonnes. Nigeria is also a net exporter of cement to neighbouring markets.

Of particular concern to the Commission is that this level of production capacity has not resulted in the downward pressure on domestic prices that might ordinarily be expected in a competitive market with substantial excess capacity.

Information provided by industry participants has identified energy costs, depreciation of the Naira and its effect on imported machinery and spare parts, as well as transportation and logistics costs, among the factors contributing to cement prices. The Commission is testing these explanations against verified information on costs, production, pricing and market conditions.

However, the weight of preliminary findings provides sufficient grounds for the investigation to continue.

Next is to determine whether prevailing cement prices can be explained by legitimate costs and market conditions, or whether there is evidence of coordinated conduct, abuse of market power, restriction of domestic supply, anti-competitive distribution practices or other conduct contrary to the provisions of the FCCPA.

Accordingly, the FCCPC has issued Notices of Commencement of Investigation and Summons to Produce to the key players in the sector...

Hello @FRSCNigeria have you seen it?

[Elnathan John @elnathan_john]

Very good. Because Nigerians in Lagos are far too comfortable with how horrible Nigeria is. All that corruption, all that violence, all that destruction of institutions and education, you expect it to have no effect?

I think that in fact these so called thugs are too kind. They just beg a bit forcefully. You want to be a big man and live soft life inside the huge expensive slum that is Lagos? This is the tax. Tax that forces you to remember that you cannot just create a bubble and lie to yourself that you live in a sane country.

The circumstances that produce very nice street thugs in Lagos produces bandits and terrorists that kill and kidnap elsewhere around the country. Lagos should count its blessings and continue showing off. Pay the tax and enjoy driving over potholes in your Lamborghini while idiot car spotters that you have arranged to meet sing your praises. LG: Life's Good.

Saw that Okwuluora Kidney failure video in Enugu and I just thought;

1) Beans - Sniper or dangote cement.
2) Palm oil - Red dye + water.
3) Fried Plantain chips - Either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil + nylon to make it shiny and hard.
4) Fufu - Klin i.e detergent to ferment cassava in hours instead of days.
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve it further.
6) Fresh fish - Industrial dye.
7) Unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals.
8) Mango - ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters.

These are but a few, meanwhile, Nigerian yam, beans are banned across parts of Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.

We virtually consume these on daily basis, and result today is unprovoked kidney and liver damage.

Dear @officialEFCC, good morning!

Today is another day to remind you that the bald eagle shouldn't be found in your logo. An organization's logo should reflect their strength and objectives.

The bald eagle that's currently featured on your logo is not an African bird. It is not found in Nigeria. It is also an opportunistic scavenger and fish eater. Meanwhile, the martial eagle we have in Nigeria is a ferocious hunter that actively hunts aggressive and heavy prey including hyraxes, small jackals, monitor lizards, domestic livestock, and young antelopes weighing considerably more than itself.

The bald eagle doesn't have much going for it beyond American PR. It is comparatively weak and sounds like a weak chicken.

Thank you for your attention on this matter.
