SOS: FIRE OUTBREAK AT OLD GARAGE, ÒṢOGBO
There is currently a major fire outbreak at Old Garage, and emergency responders are battling to contain the situation. Reports indicate that firefighters on the ground are overwhelmed as the fire continues to spread.
Of serious concern is the fact that two filling stations are located dangerously close to the scene. If the fire reaches either of these stations, the consequences could be catastrophic for nearby residents, businesses, and road users.
We urgently call on relevant emergency agencies, additional fire service units, security personnel, and volunteers with firefighting equipment to mobilize and provide immediate support. Residents are also advised to stay away from the area to allow emergency teams unrestricted access and to avoid putting themselves at risk.
Please share this information widely and contact emergency responders if you have useful information or resources that can assist in containing the fire.

It is deeply troubling to receive reports from parents across Ọ̀ṣun State that WAEC candidates are still sitting for examination papers as late as 7:00PM. These are young students who left their homes in the morning with the expectation of writing their examinations under normal conditions. Subjecting them to prolonged waiting hours, fatigue, anxiety, and potential security risks is unacceptable. Examination bodies have a responsibility not only to uphold the integrity of examinations but also to ensure the safety, welfare, and dignity of candidates.
This situation is particularly concerning given that similar incidents of delayed WAEC examinations have sparked public outrage in recent years, with candidates in some parts of the country forced to write examinations late into the night. WAEC itself has previously acknowledged that such situations fall below acceptable standards.
We call on the West African Examinations Council (@waecnigeria), the Federal Ministry of Education, the Ọ̀ṣun State Ministry of Education, and all relevant authorities to urgently investigate the circumstances responsible for these delays and put measures in place to ensure that no student is subjected to such hardship again.
Our students deserve better. Their safety, well-being, and academic future must never be compromised by administrative failures.

Reintroducing:
DR. CHISOM RUTHERFORD OGUGUA (MBBS, CALABAR) 🥳
Medical school was an incredible journey with so many highs and lows, but I'm grateful for all the experiences.
Excited for the next phase. 🥳
publishing a research paper is crazy bcz what do you mean you’re happy you spent a year understanding it, a year reviewing it, and a year waiting for it to go live only for it to get a citation count of 27
To the universities keeping quiet while their graduates are devalued:
Your neutrality is a failure of mentorship.
To the regulatory bodies tasked with protecting the profession:
Your passivity is an abdication of duty.
To the interns standing on the frontlines of this policy:
Your resistance is a demand for dignity.
This is no longer just about an allowance; it is about the baseline respect for medical expertise.
This policy requires a collective response.
Not a quiet acceptance.

Ignore False Alarm over School Kidnappings, Governor Adeleke Reassures Osun People
● Armoured Vehicles Abandoned by Oyetola and Refurbished by Adeleke Ready for Deployment
OSOGBO - 02/06/2026 - https://t.co/fRzeiXKpdK
Governor Ademola Adeleke has reassured Osun people that his government has taken proactive steps to secure Osun schools, urging the public to ignore recent false alarms about school kidnappings in some parts of the state.
The governor who described the rumour as the handiwork of evil opposition elements said fact checks from the border areas and across the state confirmed that there was no case of kidnappings.
“I task our people to go about their normal activities without fear. Our government has taken steps to secure our schools. The Ministry of Education and the relevant security agencies have worked out a security strategy that is being implemented”, the governor noted.
He reiterated that parents and guardians should not panic as the said alarm was false and the handiwork of opposition elements seeking to plunge the state into chaos.
The governor further updated the public about the armoured vehicles abandoned by the Oyetola administration in various locations, briefing the public that Armoured Personnel Carriers have been fully refurbished and ready for deployment.
The governor said his administration inherited the knocked down APCs in various locations, noting that they were reworked and rehabilitated for deployment in areas of need under joint operations by security agencies.
“The Oyetola administration inherited the APCs from the Aregbesola administration. The last administration however left them to rot. My government has rehabilitated them and the public will soon witness a new security plan to strengthen the security of lives and properties in Osun state”, the governor noted.
He warned against incitement to criminal conduct by evil opposition elements, warning that the local intelligence network is monitoring and watching the border towns and identified hot spots.
“No stone will be left unturned to guarantee the security of our schools, our pupils, residents, citizens and properties”, the governor added.

@B_Aterezi Honestly, the arguments don't come up on the wards and clinics, everyone understand their role and limitations offline but it's always agenda on X. I'll never be there!
Nobody should stop patients from going to the pharmacies. They'll come around when the chips are down.
