Members of Sunday Igboho’s Iru Esin vigilante group tracked down and arrested suspected bandits and kidnappers hiding in a bush in Ibadan. According to the group, the suspects opened fire during the operation, but the vigilantes overpowered and arrested them.
Definitely not to all Northerners.
At best, to the moron that decided to attack DEBIDOO when he knows he can't even mention the bigot's name. I do not feel attacked by that. The Rarara guy & those that share his ideology should take the insult, if really it is.
I know there is no word in this world that would be hard for me to pronounce, and correctly. So, I m exempted.
Rarara ya fi Davido Alkhairi ga mutanen Arewa, ba ma kahutu kawai ba!
Da Rarara ke da kudin da David ya mallaka da kowanne dan Nigeria ya amfana da shi!
Su wa’e kuwa Banda siyan motochi wa su ka taimaka wa?
Real life celebrity impact to their people :
Rarara >>> Davido
Undebatable
Davido mocked the Hausa accent with the “Debidoo” clapback, yet many northerners are still rushing to side with him over Rarara.
Rarara may have his flaws and shortcomings but one thing you hardly see is southerners abandoning their own to support a northerner in a public dispute regardless of the circumstances.

Kanu’s Conviction: At a Time Like This.
The news of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction should compel every well-meaning Nigerian to pause and reflect. This is coming at a time when our beloved nation is facing severe economic hardship, insecurity, and the consequences of poor governance.
Rather than reducing tension, this unfortunate development may well only aggravate it.
I have always maintained that Mazi Kanu should never have been arrested. His arrest, detention, and now conviction represent a failure of leadership and a misunderstanding of the issues at stake.
For years, I have consistently argued that dialogue, constructive engagement, and inclusive governance offer the path to lasting peace. Coercion becomes necessary only when reason has been exhausted. In this case, I submit that the reason was not only not exhausted, but was probably not explored at all, or not fully explored.
The concerns Kanu raised were not unheard of. The issues for which he demanded solutions were not insoluble. It only required wisdom, empathy, and a willingness to listen. In any functional society, such grievances are met with dialogue and reforms aimed at strengthening unity.
The government’s approach has only deepened mistrust and created an avoidable distraction at a time when citizens are overwhelmed by harsh economic realities and insecurity. While some may insist that “the law has taken its course,” leadership often demands more than a strict, mechanical application of the law. Nations around the world resort to political solutions, negotiated settlements, and even amnesty when legal processes alone cannot serve the broader interest of peace and stability. Nigeria is not an exception.
The handling of Kanu’s case mirrors the government as a man trapped in a hole but who, instead of looking for a way out, keeps digging deeper. It worsens not only the government’s predicament but also the nation's collective condition.
If we truly desire a new Nigeria - a united, peaceful, and progressive one, our leaders must choose healing over hostility, reconciliation over retaliation, and dialogue over division. Only by addressing grievances with justice, fairness, and compassion can we move towards a future where every Nigerian feels heard, valued, and safe.
My ultimate call at this time, without prejudice to how anyone feels about the decision of the court, is for us to be optimistic for peace and reconciliation which will come in the end. I am also saying, thereby, that the Presidency, the Council of State and credible statesmen who love this country and who are interested in cohesion and inclusivity, should rise to the occasion, for a lasting solution. -PO
@gwaska_dsd Why is the government so invested in reintegrating this criminals into the society? This is something no victim or the family of any victim can accept. No, All of us shouldn’t accept.

PRESS RELEASE
FORGERY OF TINUBU'S TAX REFORM LAW IS AN ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE
The illegal and unauthorized alterations made to Nigeria's tax legislation after passage by the National Assembly represents a brazen act of treason against the Nigerian people and a direct assault on our constitutional democracy.
This draconian overreach by the executive branch undermines the foundational principle of legislative supremacy in the making of laws. It reveals a government more interested in extracting wealth from struggling citizens than empowering them to prosper.
The Unconstitutional Alterations
The following substantive changes were allegedly illegally inserted into the tax bills after parliamentary approval, in clear violation of Sections 4 and 58 of the 1999 Constitution:
1. New Coercive Powers Without Legislative Consent
*Arrest powers granted to tax authorities
*Property seizure and garnishment without court orders
*Enforcement sales conducted without judicial oversight
These provisions transform tax collectors into quasi-law enforcement agencies, stripping Nigerians of due process protections that the National Assembly deliberately included.
2. Increased Financial Burdens on Citizens
*Mandatory 20% security deposit before appealing tax assessments
*Compound interest on tax debts
*Quarterly reporting requirements with lowered thresholds
*Forced USD computation for petroleum operations
These changes erect financial barriers that prevent ordinary Nigerians from challenging unjust assessments while increasing compliance costs for businesses already struggling in a difficult economy.
3. Removal of Accountability Mechanisms
*Deletion of quarterly and annual reporting obligations to the National Assembly
*Elimination of strategic planning submission requirements
*Removal of ministerial supervisory provisions
By stripping away oversight mechanisms, the government has insulated itself from accountability while expanding its powers—a hallmark of authoritarian governance.
A Government Against Its People
This constitutional violation exposes a troubling reality: a government obsessed with imposing ever-increasing tax burdens on impoverished Nigerians rather than creating conditions for prosperity. Instead of investing in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic empowerment that would expand the tax base organically, this administration chooses the path of aggressive extraction from an already struggling populace.
Nigeria's poverty rate remains alarmingly high, unemployment continues to devastate families, and inflation erodes purchasing power daily. Yet rather than supporting citizens to become more productive, thereby generating sustainable tax revenues, the government employs draconian measures to squeeze resources from people who have little left to survive.
True economic growth comes from empowering citizens, not impoverishing them further through punitive taxation and erosion of legal protections. A thriving economy with prosperous citizens naturally generates robust tax revenues. But this requires vision, investment, and patience, qualities evidently lacking in an administration that resorts to constitutional manipulation to achieve short-term fiscal goals.
I hereby call upon:
1. The Executive to immediately suspend the implementation of the tax law effective January 1, 2026 to give room for a proper investigation.
2. The National Assembly to immediately rectify these illegal alterations through proper legislative processes and hold accountable those responsible for this constitutional breach.
3. The Judiciary to strike down these unconstitutional provisions and reaffirm the sanctity of the legislative process.
4. Civil Society and all Nigerians to reject this assault on democratic principles and demand governance that serves the people rather than exploiting them.
Before @taiwoyedele’s interview, the tax forgery issue was merely an allegation raised by Hon Dasuki and amplified by us. However, after he went on air and did a poor job defending it, the allegation gained credibility, and more voices have joined the call for an investigation

Rest In Perfect Peace, Muhammadu Buhari.💔
