Shocking Allegation by Senator Natasha Akpoti:
I took video evidence to the Commissioner of Police in my state showing how his officers were openly working with thugs and criminals. Instead of acting on it, the CP looked at me and said, ‘You should employ your own thugs too.’
See the fuss they're making because of wrongful parking? Like a whole minister left his busy schedule to handle wrongful parking himself, called the press, and even paid for media.
Now imagine Peter Obi really had a narcotics case or forged certificate case abroad...imagine what would have happened to him. In the Nigerian political context, Peter Obi is a saint.
The Disheartening Humiliation of Prof. Aghaji
Every day in this country, we find ourselves in a bizarre situation that we find difficult to understand: where we are and how we got to this uncivilised behaviour and rascality. Worse still, when you try to bring these abnormalities to the attention of those concerned, they resort to abuse instead of appreciation.
Just this morning, my attention was drawn to the disrespectful and humiliating circumstances surrounding the apprehension of Professor Martin Aghaji, a distinguished 74-year-old medical expert. This man was not invited, nor was any direct contact made with him. Instead, they invaded his home at Independent Layout, Enugu, in the dead of the night, at 2 a.m., to arrest him in front of his visiting daughter.
As an internationally recognised cardiothoracic surgeon, esteemed academic, and elder statesman, Professor Aghaji warrants a considerable degree of respect, both because of his advanced age and his substantial contributions to our nation. More importantly, however, every Nigerian, irrespective of status or profession, deserves to be treated with dignity and in accordance with the rule of law. After the humiliation of breaking into his house and whisking him away from Enugu to Lagos for three days, all he got was, “Sorry, we made a mistake.”
The public outcry concerning the state’s handling of Professor Aghaji’s case highlights a wider conflict between the actions of state security agencies and the imperative to safeguard professional integrity and individual dignity. Such conduct directed at a 74-year-old might not only exacerbate the critical “brain drain” but also severely damage the country’s already precarious healthcare infrastructure.
This incident brings to mind the similar mistreatment of a medical practitioner in Akwa Ibom, which prompted the Nigeria Medical Association to consider a nationwide strike. Fortunately, due to prompt intervention, a formal public apology was issued to the affected doctor.
The practice of treating highly regarded, ethical professionals - and indeed any Nigerian - like common criminals sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law across all sectors. Therefore, we must conduct ourselves with civility in the discharge of our public duties. A superior and renewed Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO
The Children's Safe Return Is Worthy of Thanksgiving.
I am greatly relieved and delighted to learn of the safe rescue of the schoolchildren who were kidnapped. I sincerely thank all those whose tireless efforts made their freedom possible, especially the security personnel and everyone who worked behind the scenes.
While we celebrate this happy outcome, we must remember that no child should ever have to endure such trauma. The recurring incidents of kidnapping, particularly of schoolchildren, underscore the urgent need to strengthen our security architecture and make the protection of lives and property the foremost responsibility of government.
Our children deserve to learn in an atmosphere of safety, not fear. We must continue to work towards building a Nigeria where every child can pursue education without the threat of violence or abduction.
I rejoice with the children, their families, their schools, and all Nigerians on this heartening development.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
KWAM 1 scattered a Flight and Tried to Stop a Plane. Keyamo did nothing.
Vincent and Jollof had a viral Fight during a Flight. Keyamo did nothing.
Oshiomhole caused Mayhem at MM1 bcos he was late for a flight and the plane left. Keyamo did nothing.
But @PeterObi parks his car for 30 seconds to Remove his Bags and Travel and His Tyres are Clamped. Keyamo now released the CCTV footage and an Epistle of Jargons concerning the Matter.
Keep on embarrassing yourselves. 2027. All of Una dey go back Una house. 🤬🤡

Dear Alex Onyia,
You probably don’t realize what you’ve done.
It’s been days, and people still can’t stop talking about you. They waited to see you and your participants fail, but God had other plans.
The meltdown has been crazy
Unfortunate greetings to you @OgbeniDipo
This message is not in anyway intent to educate you, you've descended below the capacity to retain any form of intelligence - it is intended to ridicule you.
Absolute wonderkids went to represent the country you claim to love more than us, they excelled wonderfully only for you to dogwhistle your fellow ewedu crooners to a space in order to ridicule them on the grounds of their ethnicity.
You and your fellow guttersnipes love to exist in the delusion that you're the most educated tribe - as someone who has twice whatever the height of your academic peak is, no modicum of education shines through you - just bubbles of intellectual fraud & disgusting bìgötry (I added the ami ohun to satisfy your insatiable need for cultural preservation.
For years, you hawked CV reviews like your life depended on it - when it stopped putting food on your table, you began to ridicule education to promote the akaranification & kukulization of the economy just because of your new job designation as Dean of Studies, Apoda Twitter.
It hurts me personally you know, that a good number of trees have to stay alive just to satisfy the oxygen need for people like you. People like you who play destructive roles in the society, who deserve to be melted into asphalt to fill potholes.
People like you are cancerous because your presumed academic journey & perceived exposure allows your to command a certain level audience when the strength of your intelligence can be measured in kilobytes.
Whatever Alex has done that you and your insiduous ilk suppose to imitate, celebrate, collaborate or encourage - you're tearing down at the expense of children who have done nothing to you.
Just because the covering duvet doesn't have pockets, motorcycles don't have conductors & we cannot put airconditioning units in tricycles - every single effort you commit to will convert to vain.
If the owners of the morning agree to initiate your progress, the custodians of the night will stage a protest.
We cannot be championing a campaign against olodo uprising only for our first major academic win as a country to surface weeks after - only for proglottides like yourselves to shit on it, just because it satisfies your bìgötry KPIs.
It will not be well with you.
The video posted by Festus Keyamo should tell you that this government is watching Peter Obi 24/7.
The craziest part is, despite this close surveillance, they still can’t find anything to stain Obi. Obi is insanely clean man.
I’m not backing a criminal, Alhamdulillah.
At Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri, a billboard has been put up for our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, to celebrate him as he arrived in Owerri today.
He is 11 years old and the world’s best in the Primary category for Mathematics.
He is so good that he finished the exam and fell asleep.
What a star!
Imagine watching a video like this, hearing international feats of a child like this.
And the first thing that comes to your mind, as a 50 year old is to open a space session in order to tear him & his fellow peers down.
@OgbeniDipo it will not sound for you.
At 5, Aisosa Agbon-Ifo became Nigeria's youngest STEM Olympiad gold medalist. 🏆
Now at 6, he has secured back-to-back victories by winning the 2026 Grade 2 category.

Farewell to a Faithful Shepherd
I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Archbishop Augustine Obiora Akubeze, Metropolitan Archbishop of the Benin City Ecclesiastical Province, who returned to the Lord yesterday.
The news is particularly poignant because it comes after I recently had the privilege of seeing him as the homilist at the Thanksgiving Mass marking the 90th birthday of Anthony Cardinal Okogie. I also cherish the warm moments we shared on that memorable occasion.
Archbishop Akubeze was a remarkable and compassionate shepherd - a courageous voice of truth who served the Church and our nation with distinction. As former President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), he provided exemplary leadership, championing spiritual renewal, justice, peace, and the integral development of the human person. His humility, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to the Gospel will remain an inspiration, while his dedication to the welfare of God’s people will never be forgotten.
On behalf of my family, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Archdiocese of Benin City, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, the entire Catholic faithful, and his loved ones.
May the Lord whom he served so faithfully receive him into His eternal glory, grant him eternal rest, and console all who mourn his passing. -PO
Chimdiebube Onwubiko was received like a king yesterday in Enugu.
He won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome.
He is a star, and the world will celebrate him even more.
This is just the beginning of greatness.
This week, I have observed with deep concern two notable media appearances: one by my brother, Mr. Peter Obi, and the other by the family of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
In his interview with Mr. Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Obi voiced serious worries about his personal safety and the adverse impact his role as an opposition leader has had on his businesses. Even more troubling was the Federal Government’s response, which resorted to personal insults and derogatory language instead of the restraint and maturity expected of a democratic administration.
Let me state clearly: like every Nigerian, our presidential candidate and all of us deserve the full protection of the state, not ridicule for raising legitimate concerns.
Democratic leadership requires fairness, justice, and restraint.
A government entrusted with protecting citizens should not dismiss or mock credible calls for help from any individual, including Mr. Peter Obi.
On the other hand, it was distressing to watch the wives of Malam Nasir El-Rufai publicly express the family’s anguish over his prolonged detention.
Regardless of political affiliation, Malam El-Rufai, like every Nigerian, is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a competent court. The continued delay in granting him bail through what many perceive as stringent and unreasonable conditions is deeply concerning. As an unconvicted citizen, he deserves a fair and expeditious trial, while his health and that of his family are adequately safeguarded.
I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians in urging the Federal Government to handle these matters with transparency, accountability, and justice. These issues must not be weaponised to settle political scores.
For our democracy to truly thrive, every citizen; young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political persuasion must receive equal and equitable treatment under the law from the government that exists to protect us all. - RMK
Dear @mehdirhasan
This lying double-mouthed dishonest aide called Daniel Bwala that you publicly exposed his hypocrisy to the world a few months ago, now claims Al Jazeera “apologised” to him over your interview with him.
Please is this claim true?
And if true, what exactly did Al Jazeera apologise to him for?
Dear Nigerians,
Pls retweet until @mehdirhasan sees this and publicly responds to clear the air.
