In Idoma land yesterday, many were murdered in what many feel is a reprisal attack following the murder of the Miyatti Allah Group.
This circle of needless deaths will continue if we don't halt our senseless acrimonies against ourselves. Issues that should be resolved around the table of dialogue are stretched on the table of affront where common sense is replaced with ego, malice and senselessness.
There is nothing I hate other than the news of killings- killings that would have been averted are made to happen by our needless ego and grandstanding.
Today,lives are wasted and families are left in ruins. No amount of condemnation would bring back these innocent people.
You can't come to people's land and play Lord,the same way you can't decide who lives on your land. Our inability to understand where our rights begin and ends is the reason we are stuck in this vicious conundrum.
Those on social media emboldening crisis are mostly the enablers of these senseless killings. You weaponize these villagers to take up arms and when the effects happen, you are nowhere to be found, you leave these people helpless and vulnerable.
In those days, strangers who arrived in any community were invited and profiled by the chiefs, this way, no one harbours an unknown person. Today, you see people come to a community and just begin to live , that is unacceptable.
Laws of every community covers every inhabitants, therefore, if you must cohabit anywhere, you must submit to their grand norms.
These daily killings must stop, dialogue must be the only language we must deploy when confronted with any kind of issues.
My heart goes with the families of the recently murdered people in idoma land.
Sorely musing

Every drop of donated blood holds the power to save a life & the simple act of giving can mean the difference between life & death for someone in urgent need.
Today, we joined the Press Briefing organised by @NBSC_Abj to mark World Blood Donor Day 2026, themed: "One Drop of Humanity. Give Blood. Save Lives."
#WorldBloodDonorDay #OneDropOfHumanity
The discussions at the press briefing highlighted the role of innovation and partnerships in improving blood services, including efforts to deploy digital solutions that support donor mobilisation, blood management, and nationwide coordination.
Building resilient health systems means ensuring that safe blood is available whenever and wherever it is needed.
#WorldBloodDonorDay #OneDropOfHumanity
Conversations are important, but saving lives also requires action. Our team proudly participated in today’s blood donation drive, contributing to a cause that saves lives.
Blood cannot be manufactured. It depends entirely on voluntary donors willing to help others they may never meet.

This year's Hajj seems to be Nigeria 's finest outing in recent times -everything seems seamless. See highlights from the arrival of the 1st set of Nigerian Pilgrims from Kogi State into Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport. @nigeriahajjcom@KashimSM
El-Rufai and Ribadu: Caught in the Web of Time
Friendship can change when ambition grows.
Nasir El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu were once close allies with shared dreams and political visions. Today, they are seen on different paths, possibly driven by similar ambitions for Nigeria’s highest office. Their story reflects how power can quietly create distance between even strong friends.
History shows similar patterns, from Mamman Vatsa and Ibrahim Babangida to Yahaya Bello and Edward Onoja, where shared journeys later became divided by ambition and political reality.
Power tests loyalty. It turns “our vision” into “my turn.”
In the end, losing power is painful, but losing a friend can hurt even more.

Journalism is not activism - the two can't go in the same realm.
Journalists give hope even in the face of grim realities.
Next time you are on air, discard your emotions, leave out your biases & act like the referee in a football match- detached and impartial.
Frankly musing
There is this trend I noticed with our 'On Air Personalities '- a sustained kind of anger when discussing issues. In journalism, you collapse your emotions when addressing issues - you infer, you don't judge; you set the tone,you don't conclude.
@NOIweala@haruspicee That's my man @haruspicee- when he write, no good writer or reader can resist the urge to read. Each line crafted with creativity.
No lie, @NOIweala is an embodiment of wisdom and brilliance that radiate across borders and oceans.
Education is a big flex regardless of the sex.
Outstanding piece, @haruspicee.
@NOIweala’s story inspires countless girls in Northern Nigeria to rise beyond barriers and rewrite the narrative. Thank you for sharing

I do not normally share articles saying nice things about me, that is not my style, but this one is different. This beautifully written piece by Abdullahi O. Haruna @haruspicee articulates the case for girl child education in Northern Nigeria. Please read it!
.@JNdace addresses the decline of traditional media and urges journalists to adapt, stay proactive, and uphold professionalism.
He emphasises that seriousness and credibility are key to gaining respect, while traditional media remains vital for delivering accurate, contextual information.
