These analogies are quite compelling and persuasive Mr. JJ, and answers to your enquiry will ultimately yield nothing of substance.

[Jaafar Jaafar @JaafarSJaafar]

I have never seen a state government institution or facility that is better run than their federal counterparts.

* Federal universities generally rank above most state universities.

* Federal Government Colleges are better run than state government colleges

* Federal teaching hospitals offer more specialised healthcare than state hospitals.

* Federal roads are better built and maintained than state roads.

* INEC, despite its imperfections, conducts more credible elections than State Independent Electoral Commissions.

* The federal civil service is generally more structured than state civil service.

If performance is the benchmark, why does Tinubu think states can run police better than the federal government?

No words can truly console the family of the late General, but we pray that Allah grants them solace in this trying moment. Ya Allah, bless them with fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, and guide their hearts and tongues to utter only that which please You.

Nothing seems to electrify this part of the world, and drag us all into the same gossip mill quite like a “celebrity” marriage hitting the rocks. And it makes me wonder why anyone would bother turning their marriage into content. It hardly ever ends well.

My brother, if you are Ajebo by your own sweat, listen to me. Those real Ajebo girls are not your mates. No matter how hard you try to blend into their lifestyle, you will always remain a counterfeit, because your priorities and perspectives will forever run parallel.

The world, especially when it adorns them with power and authority, needs more of Zubaida Umars! Nigeria more so.

As we commemorate World News Day, I want to emphasize the critical role fact-based journalism plays in emergency response and management. Timely and accurate information can be lifesaving, helping people make informed decisions and stay safe during crises.

At NEMA, we value collaboration with journalists who inform the public, prevent misinformation, support response efforts, and hold authorities accountable. We appreciate their dedication to fact-based reporting, often under challenging circumstances, and look forward to continued collaboration with journalists to build a more resilient and informed society.

Happy World news Day!

“We do not believe that the sanctity of human life should be trapped in the corridors of endless debate. That is why we say, without stuttering and without doubt, that a two-state solution remains the most dignified path to lasting peace for the people of Palestine. For too long, this community has borne the weight of moral conflict. For too long, we have been caught in the crossfire of violence that offends the conscience of humanity. We come not as partisans, but as peacemakers. We come as brothers and sisters of a shared world, a world that must never reduce the right to live into the currency of devious politics. The people of Palestine are not collateral damage in a civilisation searching for order. They are human beings, equal in worth, entitled to the same freedoms and dignities that the rest of us take for granted.”

— Vice President Kashim Shettima, delivering Nigeria’s statement at #UNGA80

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

I join millions of Nigerians in celebrating a man whose life continues to illuminate the path of honour, courage, and patriotism: Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (Rtd.), on the occasion of his 76th birthday. It is not only a moment of personal reflection but a national milestone, as we honour a soldier, statesman, pro-democracy icon, and moral conscience of our nation.

Colonel Umar stands tall among Nigeria’s most principled voices; his name evoking an unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and democratic ideals. In the tumultuous days following the annulment of the historic June 12, 1993 presidential election, when many chose silence or self-preservation, he chose the difficult path of truth. He risked his career, comfort, and personal safety by speaking out in defence of Chief MKO Abiola’s stolen mandate, despite being a senior member of the ruling military council. It was a singular act of bravery that not only inspired a generation but redefined the meaning of loyalty to country over convenience.

As a young civil rights activist in those difficult days, I found in Colonel Umar not just a role model, but a moral compass. He demonstrated to us that true leadership is not merely about wielding power, but standing firm in defence of what is right, even at great personal cost. His resignation from the Nigerian Army at a time when he stood poised for further elevation is perhaps one of the most courageous acts in our political history.

As Governor of Kaduna State today, I draw deep inspiration from his sterling example of inclusive leadership. His tenure as military governor of this great state remains a reference point for fairness, balance, and peacebuilding. In a deeply diverse and, at times, fractured society, he governed with wisdom, compassion, and an unshakeable belief in our shared humanity.

Colonel Umar’s transcendence of ethnic and religious divides has never required a denial of his own identity. Rather, he has drawn strength from it: his noble Fulani lineage, his deep Islamic faith, and his enduring belief that justice is the foundation of peace.

I am proud to stand among those who celebrate him, not only for his past heroism, but for his continued voice of conscience in our national life. I also warmly commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for honouring him with the Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR), a richly deserved recognition.

Happy 76th birthday, our highly revered Colonel Dangiwa Umar. May your legacy continue to inspire generations to come.

Senator Uba Sani, CON
Governor, Kaduna State

If you’re African and you don’t know about Sheikh Uthman dan Fodio, you’re missing one of the most powerful stories in Islamic history 🧵

He wasn’t just a scholar.
He led one of the most successful Islamic revivals in Africa, based on knowledge, justice, and piety

🚨 Iran's foreign minister said "we are not seeking negotiations... we have nothing to discuss with the United States."

Then a senior Iranian official told Reuters that zero enrichment is "undoubtedly rejected."

They have been totally decimated, and yet they are belligerent and recalcitrant -- completely irrational. ⬇️

I was the only African representation during this Taipei Forum. I also realised Nigeria had not been in the conversation whatsoever, and this was the closing session.

So, I thought, what would a younger @NuhuRibadu do?

What corncept would my President @officialABAT have me add to my introduction of the Vice President of Taiwan, Hsiao Bi-khim, whilst maintaining focus on her? Easy.

I just had to let it be known, as usual, "...from Nigeria."

I'd have called myself Ikenna Oguguo, Uba Sani, Abu Jimoh, Jide Jacobs, Musa Usman, Olumide Soyombo or even Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones...

I just needed it to be known, this brother? He from NIGERIA. Correct me if I am right!
