Police officers in Lagos State joined thugs yesterday to attack and brutalize members of the Take It Back Movement during this year’s August 5 Revolution Now protest.
These are the people you will face during the 2027 elections.
You’re preparing to vote, but these criminals are preparing to unleash violence.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Tinubu suspended a duly elected governor.
Tinubu froze the account of a state government few days to an election, in a state governed by opposition.
Very soon, Tinubu would just wake up and cancel nullify elections where his party members lost.
I'm deeply shocked. This is not the NADECO version of Tinubu. What really happened to my political mentor? 😭
He started by Seizing the LG funds of Osun State.
Now, he's freezing tha accounts of the Osun State government.
This is really scary. This is not the Tinubu I voted for? What happened?
You wan stop Peter Obi and you think your best format is by increasing cost of mounting billboards. 😂
That's a funny one. Unless you're trying to stop Atiku.
Because, for Peter Obi, that one is a billboard in human form.
When a Government Declares War on the Truth
President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as “a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.
The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.
The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.
As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.
Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.
During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.
What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?
The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.
Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.
So Tnubu has decided to pick a fight against the Catholic Church, the Universal Church.
They published a FORGED Catholic Youth Organization (CYON) Press Release as well.
WOW!!
Tinubu @officialABAT Ignored calls for my sack and asked me to go and do more roads… Umahi @FMWNIG
Dear David Nweze Umahi, you cannot use Corruption to Fight Corruption Sir 🤡

“There are some SANs in this country who don’t have any degree certificates. There are some senators and lawmakers who have forged degree certificates. So Tinubu not having primary and secondary education is not a crime”…
~ Alwan Hassan, APC spokesperson
These are the people making laws that affect everyone 💔🤯
Protect Rufai by all means necessary. He is the only fearless and uncompromised journalist this country has.
He never fails to call out APC hypocrisy…
Thank you @ruffydfire
@DonAzag If their media wing can't do enough damage with their lies and spinning after hearing the truth, they unleash their terrorist wing to finish the job. Darkness will never triumph over light.
@EmirSirdam Cartel way.
That’s is how Escobar operates you disrespect him he teaches you a lesson.
Now it’s a Narco-terrorist government being run in Nigeria.
We have decended lower than the depths.
God help us all
@EmirSirdam Na wa ooo
Using lives to play politics should be totally discouraged, if this has any connection to do with the recent interview where the Bishop spilled the truth about what is happening in the country 😂.
The Bishop said the truth, that's the fucking truth
I rest my case
@EmirSirdam Maybe it'd finally be clearer to Nigerians that this APC government declared war on the masses long ago. They won't stop until they systematically kill everyone and rule over the ashes.
@EmirSirdam@officialABAT govt has started killing catholic priest , 1 week wey Catholic Bishops told Tinubu the truth
One Priest killed in Kogi
Parish invaded in Enugu by gunmen, seminarian kidnapped
