@outrider_nation@CAF_Media Exactly the question on my mind. Was the referee not aware of article 84 when he stood and called back the Senegalese team back to pitch?
So, in try to solve one problem they have also succeeded in setting another record of overturning a referee decision after the match has been
Killing Of Christians: “I Witnessed Numerous Violent Attacks In Northern Nigeria, Where Christians Were Specifically Targeted And Massacred, And Churches Burnt Down. Even The Igbos Were Not Spared. These Islamic Terrorists Are Ruthless. Christians Have Become An Endangered Species In Nigeria.” -Apostle Michael Olowo Says.
Minister of Works, David Umahi, got into an acrimonious exchange with Arise TV news anchor Rufai Oseni recently when he refused to answer a question the latter posed to him. Our culture preaches deference to elders and for that reason alone, some commentators could not believe the audacity of standing one’s ground when dealing with someone who has money and social status. Since those people have read the BBC style book closely enough to determine how a journalist’s conduct, can they also avail themselves of a guidebook that instructs politicians on their public comportment? If our ethicists are so passionate about the standards of professionalism, they should extend it both ways rather than hold the journalist to higher standards than the politician.
A sincere question for Umahi: if he is too self-important to face a panel of journalists and confront their hostile questions with facts readied at the tips of his fingers and his tongue, why appear on a television station? If he truly desires to be on television but would prefer the anchors to fete him rather than grill him, he had the choice to head for the state-owned station, the NTA, where he would be guaranteed a courtesy indistinguishable from the obsequiousness that public servants in Nigeria badly crave. I do not quite understand the people who took issue with Oseni over his taking Umahi to task. Umahi offered to be interviewed, not that they dragged him out of his house and forced him to appear on TV. They gave him a date and time, and he accepted. If he got dressed and sat in front of the TV without coercion, why exhibit recalcitrance because they asked you a question? What did he think he would be doing once they got on the air?
If you watch television frequently, you should already be familiar with Arise TV and its anchors’ individual styles. Some are muckrakers, others levelheaded; some are combative, some speak softly. You must also be aware of the station’s politics, ideological slant, market niche, branding, and the audience they cater to, to know what will happen when they put you on air.
Every media station defines itself by ideological biases, and if you are not forced to appear on their station, why go on their territory? In a place like the USA that has thousands of media stations, politicians are usually selective about where they appear. To avoid embarrassment, they do not accede to interviews with unfriendly media houses. You do not enter a hostile territory and attempt to bend people to your will. Democratic party members hardly appear on conservative Fox News, the same way their Republican counterparts will hesitate to be interviewed by liberal leaning CNN. Politicians who want to speak to a neutral audience seek out the media stations that cater to that demographic. Simple. I have observed that every time Oseni gets into a tough session with a politician, certain people whip out their Journalism 101 textbook and start quoting the “ethics” of the profession, conveniently forgetting that the nature of the news business has long evolved.

Absolutely! Together, we’re taking civic education back to where it truly belongs; the streets, the markets, and the hearts of the people.🇳🇬✊
Thank you @NG1stCollective for walking this path with us and reminding Nigerians that real power lives in our hands & in our PVCs. 🗳️💪
If you read this thread, your hat£ for Nigerian politicians will intensify.
It hit me with a rude shock learning that Nigeria’s House of Reps are fighting a regulation that removes the monopoly of the digital lending space from MTN and opens it for other investors!✍️
The truth about Reno Omokri is sad.
I’ve seen it up close. Last year, on his birthday safari in Kenya. He stayed at my home in Texas. Most recently, he hosted me in Abuja.
Reno doesn’t lie like most liars. He lies calm, cool, constant. Up close, he’s reptilian. Chilling. Soulless. Yet so charming.
Once, he posted a video flaunting luxury cars, claiming they were his. Two belonged to a friend of mine. Reno visited, rode in them, filmed them, and claimed ownership. A total fabrication. I stayed quiet then but started watching closely.
On my recent fact-finding trip about Nigeria’s persecution crisis, he promised meetings with Tinubu, NSA Ribadu, and the Sultan of Sokoto. None happened. Looking back, those promises were props for his narrative—for clout and manipulation.
(At his birthday last year, big names showed up expecting Goodluck Jonathan. That was a lie. They left fast, dodging his shameless PR stunt. They thanked me for showing them the quickest escape route on a map.)
In Abuja, after 30 hours of travel, Reno pulled me into a photo-op with the compromised CAN chairman. I barely got 60 seconds to change my shirt. He whispered, “Don’t mention you just arrived.” In the meeting, he implied we’d been there longer. He took credit for trips I’ve funded, planned, and endured over six years — presenting it as part of the “fact finding mission” that he had organized. He repeated this with the next group.
On live TV, he called me the current mayor of Blanco, Texas. False. He knows it. He also said I’m a Republican mayor—we don’t even have partisan municipal elections. I haven’t been active in any party for 30 years. He claimed I’m a personal friend of Ted Cruz. Also false. I shook Cruz’s hand in a receiving line a decade ago. That’s it.
He introduced my travel companion as a prominent Republican filmmaker. Not true. My friend does hobby projects, nothing major in decades. I don’t know what party he favors.
How do you know if Reno Omokri is lying? His lips are moving.
This isn’t bitterness. It’s accountability.
When someone denies genocide, twists truth, and poses as a “Christian voice,” character matters.
“The one who practices deceit shall not dwell in My house; he who speaks lies shall not continue before My eyes” (Psalm 101:7).
Reno, I don’t hate you. But I can’t cover for you. I’ve seen too much.
Lying to inflate yourself is one thing. Lying to cover up the Christian genocide raging in Nigeria is a bridge too far.
People must know Reno Omokri is a pathological, habitual, calculating, self-serving liar—from someone who knows him personally—so they won’t trust his sleazy attempts to bury the blood of tens of thousands of Nigerian martyrs with the manure spewing from his mouth. It’s hard to fathom. I’ve never seen anything so stone-cold evil.
If he doesn’t repent, Omokri will go down as Nigeria’s Joseph Goebbels, cast into the lake of eternal fire.
He’s gaslighting a nation while Christians and innocent Nigerians suffer.
Reno Omokri has the blood of innocents on his lying tongue. He doesn’t care. What’s an ocean of martyrs’ blood to him, so long as he secures the phantom appointment Tinubu dangles before him? I’m convinced he sees the victims as lesser humans. A pure sociopath.
Most Nigerians view him as a perpetually flip-flopping court jester. But wth his latest flip into the killing fields, he is now more like Stephen King‘s IT - an evil clown, in the gutter, luring innocent people to their death.
Reno claims he keeps meticulous records. So do I. This could get fun. 👍🏽
By the way, his grand plan is to run for vice president under NSA Ribadu. 🤣
I almost hope it happens. Nigerians worldwide—from the highest to the lowest—revile him as a self-deluded tool. An emasculated, narcissistic peacock. Peter Obi’s used toilet paper would poll better. Even soggy, it has more integrity.
But if you’re a Nigerian reading this, you probably already knew that.

FULL STATEMENT OF FACT
From official Fact Finding Mission sponsored by @renoomokri
Sleazy Omokri, a pathological liar, will go down in history as the Joseph Goebbels of the Nigerian Christian Genocide. His paid "reporters" are saying that I "debunked" claims of genocide. See the truth here.

This is a chart you should remember.
All the spending and borrowing you see in Nigeria, is based on these chart.
Let me explain this World Bank chart in detail, even if Nigeria achieved its crude oil budget output of 2mbpd, it would have still borrowed N1t a month. i repeat N1t a month
Now , as of August 2025, Nigeria is nowhere near 2.0mbpd, this means the borrowing will go up, not down and increase the fiscal deficit.
The solution? pass a more realistic budget, Why borrow for expenses? why not simply cut the spending and deploy the new trillion from subsidy removal to social services and then incentivize the private sector to fund the infrastructure budget.
In summary, Nigeria is spending way beyond what it can generate. Deficit funding is fantastic only if its spent on revenue generating activities on infrastructure, not social registrar for the "poor". Social spending should be funded from internal revenues, not interest bearing notes.
We express our gratitude for the generous welcome extended by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar.
Our discussion centred on the urgent need for electoral reform as we approach the 2027 election.
We underscored the necessity for mandatory electronic transmission of election results directly from the polling unit to the collation board.
Additionally, we stressed the critical importance of a citizen-supervised appointment of the INEC officials from the Federal to the state level.
His Excellency unequivocally pledged his support for our fight for meaningful electoral reform.
I saw videos of massive flooding in Lekki. But I long decided to mind my business. I’m not the type to break silence, so I’ll only say this once.
Flood is largely a natural disaster, it’s what you do to mitigate it that counts. Water is a force of nature, you must give it (its right of way).
I’ve lived on the edge of an Island paradise for a while. So I either catch, grow or forage nearby.
There are places humans learned to live (side by side) with water, cities like Venice. Like many cities & countries around the world, the Netherlands is about 26% underwater.
So to keep the land dry, the country & its engineers designed a complex system of dikes, canals & windmills to pump the water out.
It’s no longer news that Lagos is a sinking city. Lasgidi is below sea level. If Lagos underground is not designed exactly like the Netherlands or Venice, then Eko Atlantis could face imminent disappearance by the year 2050. You don’t reclaim lands at such alarming rate, & not pay homage or feudal allegiance to nature.
There are other countries below sea level as well. Countries like Maldives, Jordan, Israel, Syria, & Tuvalu. In fact, much of Tuvalu is expected to be underwater by 2050.
But the country is not folding their arms & engaging in Owambe. Excavation works already began. But it’s too late, as Tuvalu already signed a migration arrangement with Australia to resettle Tuvaluans in Aussie lands.
Tuvaluans have even gone as far as creating a digital map of Tuvalu to preserve its streets, beaches, homes, & identity (before the final disappearance) from the face of the earth.
The city of Alexandria in Egypt is also at risk. Please, go & study what they have done.
We have sunken cities existing today underneath the Mediterranean; lost civilizations. They lie waste underwater as tribute to nature’s subterranean power.
My prayer is that Gidi survives these sea level changes. But it needs help, not politics, not acrimony…….. THE WORK STARTS NOW!
QUESTIONS FOR NAPTIP @naptipnigeria
1. If the orphanage was truly a trafficking center, why did NAPTIP take only the grown 7 boys and the only 17-year-old girl, and left behind babies, disables and toddlers and not even arrest the owners or shut down the place?
2. NAPTIP took these children from Delta to Kano since June 15, so why wait until September 16th, after the matter became public to issue a statement.
3. Since when is NAPTIP’s job to Islamize victims, changing their names, forcing them to study Quran, wear hijabs and learn about Islamic husbands?
Enough is Enough. Nigeria is not a banana republic.
RELEASE THE CHILDREN.

On “malaria and typhoid” scam in Nigeria, pls kindly read this and make sure you share it to everyone you care about.
First things first;
The vast majority of “malaria and typhoid tests” done in Nigeria (especially that popular ‘MP Widal’ test) is a COMPLETE SCAM and an elaborate fraudulent scheme to defraud you and simply make money for hospitals.
Yeah. I’ve said this many times.
And I will say it again.
Pls STOP doing “malaria and typhoid test” IF you are well and feel healthy. The common “widal test” done for typhoid is a largely useless and nonspecific test. Also routine malaria testing is a useless exercise in a country like Nigeria where malaria is endemic because almost everybody has the malaria parasite in their system- but not everybody needs any treatment as long as they are well and fine in themselves.
The actual cold brutal truth is that many of you suffer from some degree of hypochondriasis (which is an anxiety disorder where you persistently feel something is ‘wrong’ with your body or you may have an undiagnosed illness EVEN THOUGH you are well and fine in yourself).
This makes you keep going to hospitals who then exploit your illness anxiety, make you pay for tests you don’t need and end up giving antimalaria and antibiotics medicines you don’t need to treat an illness that only exists in your imagination. This is why some of you keep “treating malaria and typhoid” every month and it never goes away.
You know why? You never had any malaria or typhoid that needs treating. What you need is to STOP doing unnecessary tests and go see a therapist or a mental health expert to help you address your hypochondriasis and persistent health anxiety.
Don’t get me wrong:
I am NOT saying all malaria/typhoid testing is useless. NO. I have not said that.
What I am saying is that if you are well and healthy in yourself, you do NOT need any malaria or typhoid tests.
If you have fever, vomiting, diarrhea (especially bloody diarrhea), recent travel outside the country or recent visit to somewhere where you drank unclean water and ate unhygienic food, severe headaches, new bitter taste in your mouth, not being able to eat or drink, abdominal pain and you feel very weak and unwell; then yes, you should get tested. This makes perfect sense.
But to go and be getting “malaria typhoid test” randomly and on a routine regular basis like you are going to the salon for a new hairstyle, is an absolute waste of your time, waste of your money and unnecessary pricking/loss of your blood for useless tests.
Malaria testing is ONLY relevant IF you are not well. As I said before, in Nigeria, millions of people are bitten regularly by mosquitoes and so they will have a positive malaria test result if you test them.
There is NO need to “treat” a person who is well and healthy in themselves. The hospitals won’t tell you this because they need to make money: and many of you won’t listen because you like to waste money.
Anyway the bottom line is simple:
IF you are well and feel fine in yourself,
THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY MALARIA OR TYPHOID TESTS.
I really hope many of you will convert this energy you use chasing unnecessary wasteful malaria tests (when you are well and don’t need it) to rather regularly check your blood pressure at least once a year or once every 6months- because one of the highest risk factors for kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, unexplained paralysis and sudden death in young people is undetected and untreated high blood pressure.
Pls kindly read and share this post.
You never know who this information will save their life and save their money.
Thank you.
I have noticed that the behavioral pattern of Nigerians are more of self preservation, self glory, self recognition and self satisfaction.
That’s why we progress as individuals and not as a people. Most people care about themselves, their pride, their businesses and their immediate families.
Europeans think about next generation, Middle Easterners are more ambitious, Indians think about their community etc.
Other nations are corrupt, but you will see that it doesn’t hinder societal growth.
You will see a Nigeria who takes the money meant for an entire state to buy a house in America for him and his immediate family members. It’s a pattern.
The corruption in Nigeria is brutal. That’s not an individual problem. It’s a societal error. Even the person who fights for justice can still be a victim if given an opportunity.
