Alhaji Aliko Dangote appeared on Channels TV and insisted that Nigeria needs to urgently invest in power infrastructure to achieve true economic independence. In layman terms, he's wailing about lack of electricity.
You can be sure of one thing: both the Nigerian government and local investors won't do anything about this call.
Then eventually Aliko Dangote will find his way around building power grids that guarantee 24/7 electricity to consumers. Suddenly, you will start seeing all sorts of patriots from Ministry of Power, NLC, TUC, DISCOS, GENCOs, NEPA, PHCN, Nitel, Mtel, Econet, PTF, Celtel and even APC, ADC and PDP coming on air to educate you on the dangers of a monopolist like Dangote! ~ Ibrahiym A.

I have nothing against Yusuf Buhari personally, but I will be rooting against him in 2027 because of how his Father mismanaged this country and how his sister disrespected Hausa in the past.
Plus i see no reason why the children of Buhari, Atiku, El-Rufai and others who ruled our fathers are now being groomed to rule over us.
Leadership shouldn’t be inherited like family property. It should be earned through competence, integrity, and real service to the people.
Nigeria deserves fresh ideas and equal opportunity not recycled power passed down through political families.
You will not see this news on the Mainstream media. Even @officialnyscng is yet to make an official statement over his demise because he doesn't fit the narrative. This is alarming and we deserve better.
Dear @SaudiEmbassy verify the religion of visa applicants from Nigeria before granting them approval.
Many non-Muslims in Nigeria are masquerading as Muslims just to go to Makkah and Madinah for fun and tourism.
The vetting process for Nigerian Visas should include a test on Qur’anic recitation and random background search on social media profiles.
The Nigerian authorities must investigate the reckless use of fire arms by the military that killed a girl in Maiduguri Borno state.
The 14-years-old secondary school student was killed on Saturday 4 April after being hit by a stray bullet while inside her home. The fatal shot was reportedly fired by military personnel engaged in celebratory gunfire during a wedding ceremony at a nearby event center.
A family friend of the victim said:
“She (the deceased) lived in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) quarters with her family and was inside her home when the tragedy occurred. She had just finished applying henna for her mother and herself, joyfully preparing for a family wedding scheduled for that same day.”
While her funeral was held this morning at Maiduguri graveyard, her family and friends are left seeking answers for a death that was entirely preventable.
Amnesty International calls for a transparent, impartial and effective investigation of the incident to safeguard lives and ensure justice.
Funny how the US representatives who are so concerned about the insecurity crisis, never show the same level of outrage when the victims of bandit attacks are identified as Muslims. Truly funny, for a country that they are TRYING TO SAFE which has been multi-religious since before her independence.
Alex Barbir is a secret agent roaming villages of Nigeria under the cover of being a missionary.
He’s on a mission to instigate religious war between Christians and Muslims.
Nigeria is faced with insecurity that has claimed lives, Christians and Muslims. But Alex has chosen to paint a picture that Muslims are killing Christians, when indeed these terrorists do not ask questions about religion before unleashing terror.
Enough is enough, Alex Barbir should be on the next flight home. He’s doing a lot behind the scene to fuel a religious war.
This is deep and Sad to read,

This isn’t politics, this is character failure at the highest level.
A man went to war for you politically. He defended you when others walked away. He took hits, made enemies and helped clear the path that brought you to power.
Today, he loses his mother… and this is when you choose to draw a line?
You suddenly remember “political differences” to the point that you can’t even offer simple, human respect? You refer to her as “their mother” - cold, distant, calculated as if compassion now requires party approval.
Your Excellency, power has exposed you.
Because only a certain kind of person forgets loyalty this tquickly. Only a certain kind of person benefits from someone’s sacrifices, then turns around and acts like they owe them nothing not even basic decency in a moment of grief.
That woman isn’t just “his mother.” She is part of the story that helped shape the man who stood by you when it mattered most. The least you owe is respect - not this dry, politically-filtered acknowledgment.
This is how people reveal themselves not in speeches, not in campaigns, but in moments like this.
When gratitude is absent.
When empathy is selective.
When power replaces humanity.
No amount of protocol can hide it.
No statement can dress it up.
This is what hypocrisy looks like - raw and unfiltered.
A Christian from Benue State, Joesy Blaise, has stirred intense debate with a viral video in which he challenges the narrative that terrorists in Northern Nigeria primarily target Christians.
In the strongly worded message, he said: “As a Christian living in Northern Nigeria, I can tell you that the people these terrorists kill the most are Muslims. If they were only targeting Christians, they would have gone to the South or East. Instead, they open fire in the North, in areas predominantly populated by Muslims, yet you think Christians are the only victims.”
He continued: “These terrorists are not truly Muslim; they are driven by personal gain. Even if you have read the Quran from cover to cover, they will kill you if you don't give them money. They are merely political tools used to shout ‘Allahu Akbar.’ Even the Bible says, ‘Not all who call me Father know me.’”
Joesy Blaise added: “ISIS attacks Iran but not Israel, yet you believe Iran is funding them, not Israel. When Al-Qaeda members are wounded, they are treated in Israel. An ISIS terrorist was caught and found to be an Israeli agent.”
The video has sparked heated reactions across Nigeria, with many praising his courage for speaking against a common narrative of Christians genocide in Northern Nigeria.
The American interest in Nigeria can only be resisted by the Northerners.
And whatever rare earth minerals the US can extract from Nigeria, aside from oil, are largely concentrated in the North.
Therefore it makes sense to capitalise on "Christian Genocide" first to get approval from the south in the guise of fighting terrorism in the North to mass murder the northern people.
A lot of innocent Northerners will be killed. Because of course anyone in a kaftan and Jalamia will be considered a terrorist.
It is going to be a genocide. A systemic cleansing of an ethnic group.
And the South will be guilty of it for generations. Just like the UK weaponised Northern Nigeria and the South-West to murder the Igbos in their millions.
Will Nigeria get better? No! We will just end up in cycles of hate, discord, and vendetta which will keep us trapped for another hundred years.
In my view, the only way Nigeria gets better is:
1. The country splits into 2 or 3
2. A complete overhaul of the system. Dismantle the entirety of what is called Nigeria and start over with a new constitution, and a new economic model.
This is what Tinubu is spending in Lagos.
1. N14 trillion highway in Lagos.
2. N1 trillion seaport in Lagos.
3. Another N1.4 trillion Lagos ports.
4. $450 million Lekki International Airport.
5. $3 billion Lagos green line rail project by FG.
6. N712 billion for the rehabilitation of Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA).
7. N68 billion for national information technology and infrastructure projects in Lagos
8. N37 billion for power infrastructure upgrade in Lagos (Just Lagos).
9. 10000 bags of rice palliatives for North East and North West.
10. Fridges, deep freezers, laptops, sewing machines for South East.
11. South South, yet to be remembered.
12. Tinubu is aggressively developing Lagos, preparing it to be the capital of the Ododuwa nation. He’s in a hurry to make this happen and is unrelenting.
13. He’s pooling money from across Nigeria and using it to build Lagos. He’s taking loans in Nigeria’s name but using the funds for Lagos's development.
14. Is this fair?
15. Is Tinubu the president of Lagos or the president of Nigeria?
16. Why are other zones silent?
17. What Tinubu could not achieve as Logos governor for 8yrs, he wants to achieve them in 4 years. Money meant for the entire country is being concentrated in Lagos.
18. He's given other zones crumbs while 90% of the funds are expended in Lagos. Then tomorrow, they will tell us how Lagos economy is better than the other states economy. This is the plan. Ododuwa Republic.
18. Imagine what Tinubu will do with another 4 years as president. He might return Nigeria’s federal capital to Lagos, with the way he's going.
19. AT ALL COSTS, VOTE HIM OUT.
Turns out all along, it was actually Israeli Jews who are the crazy, irrational, cartoonish religious extremists that they told us Arab and Iranian Muslims are.
Every accusation really is a confession with this lot.
Iran is quite an unusual country.
How did a country that has been under harsh global restrictions for nearly five decades manage to educate almost all of its population?
How did it still create a well functioning medical system?
How did it manage to develop such a strong defense capability?
How did it continue producing brilliant minds in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics?
How did it manage to construct and operate its oil processing plants while facing constant economic pressure?
Iran is just something else, This should be taught in business classes.
