[OBI OF ABUJA🇳🇬 @icekied]

A lot of Christians complain that some mosques block the road during Friday prayers in Abuja.

They have forgotten that a lot of churches do the same thing on Sundays.

In fact mosques don't block the road for more than 30min tops,but churches block theirs for hours depending on how many services they have in their churches.

This is a video of one of them😌.

[Nafiu Muhammad @nafiumohammad]

In 2021, as chairman Senate committee on works, Senator Kabiru Gaya advised president Buhari to solely award the Kano-Kaduna-Abuja road to Julius Berger construction company. His insistence was out of wisdom, that JB is known for high standards and will build a road that can last 50 years. God bless Kabiru Gaya for that, now that Infiouest Nigeria LTD has completed the 39kms abandoned by JB, we know the difference.

The Zaria-Kano portion of the road constructed by Infiouest has already started twisting, collapsing and even having small craters within three months after completion. The road will not last one year from all indication. Presently from Makarfi to Kwanan Dangora,thr road needs urgent maintenance. If in doubt please take a trip to the road.

The road also has a very huge crater immediately after Kwanar Dawaki before 7up. That road is not more than 30 days old. This is truly sad and I feel pained. This unknown company Infiouest was mentioned by Senator Adams Oshimhole as a furniture company. It is like the owners made the name in a manner that no one can even pronounce it.

This makes Nigerian corruption quite different from the rest of the world. While in a place like Indonesia, politicians will inflate contract, but execute the job to the highest possible standards, Nigerian politicians will virtually steal 90% of the money and build something that will not last more than one year. A road that will not last one year is as good as useless.

These Are Some of The Most Supported Farmers in The World...

1. The Current EU Agricultural Budget (2021-2027) is €386.6 billion.

2. EU Farmers Enjoy Special Rates that can be as low as 2% and can also be as High as 8%.

3. EU agricultural subsidies primarily gets to Farmers as direct income support to farmers (two-thirds of funds) and for rural development, promoting sustainability, climate action, and fair payments through national strategic plans, eco-schemes, and specific aid for young/small farmers.

4. The EU supports farmer mechanization by promoting affordable, small-scale tech, service centers, and loans. They Also who with Farmers on sustainable tech; and funding innovative local solutions, like organic farmers building their own tools to boost productivity, cut costs, and improve livelihoods, often via tailored, context-specific equipment and digital integration.

5. BUT, The Nigeria Farmers are Greedy For Asking for the Very Basic of Support.

There is also little dispute about Dangote Refinery’s leadership role in Nigeria’s downstream sector. Its scale, capacity, and technical sophistication have permanently altered the structure of the market, and that leadership status is not in question. However, leadership in a liberalised market also implies collaboration. Marketers, independent importers, and even NNPC should not necessarily be viewed as competitors but as partners in meeting national demand, especially given that Dangote Refinery is not yet able to supply the entire domestic market. Their participation helps bridge supply gaps, stabilise availability, and reduce systemic risk, which is also a core concern of the regulator.

It is also worth acknowledging that Dangote Refinery benefited from significant state support, including access to foreign exchange at concessionary rates. This underscores the expectation of mutual responsibility between the refinery and the broader system. In return, regulators are expected to maintain fairness and transparency, while the refinery is expected to operate competitively within the rules of an open market. The regulator, for its part, may not have the legal authority to halt importation simply to favour local refining, but it does retain responsibility for quality control and supply security, particularly in a transition phase where domestic capacity is still ramping up.

The tone and medium of engagement also matter. While passion can explain certain public statements, large corporate leaders may benefit from allowing institutional representatives or industry associations to speak on sensitive regulatory or personal matters. This helps preserve constructive dialogue, reduces market uncertainty, and avoids unnecessary escalation that could affect investor confidence in the sector.

Ultimately, the healthiest path forward lies in collaboration rather than confrontation. Dangote Refinery, as the market leader, is well positioned to convene stakeholders across the value chain and promote a partnership-driven model where producers, marketers, transporters, and retailers each play to their strengths. Horizontal integration that prioritises production efficiency, while allowing others to manage distribution and retail, may prove more sustainable than attempting to control every segment of the chain. Refining, logistics, distribution, and retail are each complex businesses on their own, and overextension can create avoidable operational strain.

The global petroleum market offers a useful lesson, even countries with surplus refining capacity, such as the United States, continue to both import and export refined products. Competition, optionality, and flexibility strengthen markets rather than weaken them. Nigeria’s downstream sector will be more resilient if it embraces these same principles. In this context, Dangote Refinery’s greatest strength lies not in regulatory protection, but in efficiency, scale, and strategic adaptability, which are qualities that can secure both domestic dominance and international relevance in an increasingly competitive global energy market.

This image shows a page listing the 1990 MBBS graduates from the Faculty of Medicine at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. The document records the names of 78 individuals who successfully completed their medical training and earned their MBBS degrees from one of Nigeria’s most prestigious institutions.

Ahmadu Bello University, established in 1962, has long been a key center for medical education in West Africa. This list represents a significant milestone in the lives of these graduates who entered the healthcare field over three decades ago. Many of them likely went on to become consultants, professors, administrators, and health leaders both in Nigeria and abroad.

The diversity of names on the list also reflects the multicultural nature of Nigeria, indicating the university's wide reach in terms of admission and its role in national integration through education.

Documents like this preserve important historical academic records and serve as a source of pride and reference for alumni, families, and the institution itself.

Once again...

The terrorism and insecurity in Nigeria has nothing to do with religion. Christians are suffering, Muslims are suffering, the economy is suffering and the entire Nigeria as a country is suffering underdevelopment from it. All these attempts to religionize it is an attempt to plunge Nigeria deeper into division and confusion so we cannot organize to defeat the monster for Nigeria to be developed and take its deserved place in the comity of nations. It is a well planned project for whoever and from wherever they're orchestrating it.

If the US is truly interested in helping Nigeria to defeat terrorism, they know exactly what to do and it's certainly not along the route of dividing the country along religious lines like they've been seriously doing in the past 3 weeks.

I have noted with increasing concern the heightened pronouncements on Nigeria by President Donald Trump. This follows his designation of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern.”

It is important to emphasise that our country is a sovereign nation whose people face different threats from outlaws across the country. The insecurity we face does not distinguish based on religious, ethnic, or political beliefs.

The United States should assist the Nigerian authorities with better cutting-edge technology to tackle these problems, rather than posing a threat that could further polarise our country.

The Nigerian government should also consider appointing special envoys from its distinguished diplomats to engage the American government. Additionally, it is necessary to appoint permanent ambassadors to represent Nigeria’s interests on the international stage.

To my fellow countrymen, this is an important moment where we should emphasise unity of belonging over division.

God bless Nigeria. - RMK

[𝑴𝒂𝐳𝐢.𝐍𝐧𝐚𝑬𝒎𝒆𝒌𝒂🇳🇬 @EmmyPromise71]

This is exactly the kind of Western manipulation I’ve always spoken against. The so-called “Christian genocide” claim has been pushed for years by biased groups who deliberately twist Nigeria’s security situation to fit a religious narrative.

It’s a dishonest framing that ignores the full picture of what’s happening here. Terrorists and bandits have killed both Muslims and Christians across the country, yet some Western organizations choose to call it persecution only when it suits their agenda.

This isn’t about religion, it’s about control. The US and some of its allies have always used these kinds of labels to pressure African countries politically.

Once they tag a nation with “religious persecution,” they start interfering in domestic policies under the guise of human rights. It’s the same playbook they used in Libya and Sudan, and it never ends well. Go and ask your neighbors.

As a Nigerian, I find this insulting. We have real problems that need honest dialogue, not propaganda painted in religious colors.

If the US truly cared about justice, they’d acknowledge that victims of terrorism in Nigeria cut across all faiths. What happened in Zamfara, Niger, Borno, and Benue didn’t spare anyone’s religion.

This blacklisting is not about protecting Christians, it’s about undermining Nigeria. It’s a political tool, not a humanitarian concern.

And the most painful part is that some of our own people, out of bitterness or ignorance, help feed this narrative by constantly spreading exaggerated claims online.

It’s time Nigerians stop allowing outsiders to define our realities for us. If there’s any genocide happening, it’s a shared one against innocent Nigerians, not a religious one.

This blacklisting must be challenged strongly through proper diplomatic and media engagement, because silence now will only embolden those who want to keep dividing this country for their own benefit!!
