RIVERS YOUTH FOUND 18 YEARS AFTER DISAPPEARANCE

Gospel Kinanee, at 14 years old, left home one night and never returned. His family says their search for him took them to police stations, but to no avail.

His brother says the correctional centre where he has now been found was visited twice during the search.

With no formal trial or access to legal representation, the young Ogoni man, who went missing in 2007, was one of 21 inmates released from the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre when the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Simeon Amadi, flagged off the Rivers State Jail Delivery Exercise.

His family named him Gospel Kinanee, but the correctional centre has him in its records as Baridi Sunday.

Gospel Kinanee's mental health is now the subject of litigation.

Scrapped military drills? So everyone will go to SAED classes from morning till night? There's only one way this ends.

[Cyrus Ademola @CyrusAdemola]

This is one reason why Nigeria's public policies are always flawed.

With no disrespect to Dr. Joe himself, but policies shouldn't be based on individual ideas or what a group of elites considered progressive or "the brightest way of doing things".

It should be based on collected data, survey, democratic inputs and feedback from the populace. People sitting in an air conditioner filled room can't just assume what is best for the mass population in the country.

It's a monopolisation of abstract and pedestrian knowledge that no single human being or a group of politically privileged human beings can know.

On NYSC reforms, what's the data that show that the current system isn't working? And if any, where's the data that indicate that the new system will solve the identified problem? What research was carried? Where's the democratic input from the people who are currently in the system (the corp members)? Where's the feedback mechanism that made this new approach justifiable?

Without any of this, we just propose ideas that sound and look good on paper only for it to become adversely inapplicable to those who the ideas directly affected.

The same way I asked Mr. Oyedele then what data was driving his tax reform bill, and the proposed increment in VAT and CGT in the bill, only to have the host and the co-host kick me out of the space.

Our intellectual and political elites must be humble enough to know that not all ideas in their head are made of gold.

Else, we continue to fix what necessarily isn't broken.

How did Messi miss this

[Id @Idsamuele]

Maybe Ronaldo should do the same by playing most of the games on bench

[Toyosi Stephen Adedara @TSAdedara]

Henry won a World Cup playing most of the games on bench and now thinks he has an opinion about Ronaldo’s performance in the World Cup.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

The stage was set for Cristiano Ronaldo but, unlike the trio of goalscoring superstars on day six, international football’s record goalscorer couldn’t deliver.

And we shouldn’t be too surprised given Ronaldo’s recent World Cup record.

For context, Lionel Messi has scored nine times in World Cup matches since Ronaldo netted from the spot in Portugal’s opening group stage match against Ghana in 2022.

He had a couple of attempts at goal from Francisco Conceicao pull-backs, neither of which troubled the goalkeeper, on what was a frustrating afternoon in Houston.

Any criticism of Ronaldo back home in Portugal, where he is hero-worshipped like no other, has mostly centred around manager Roberto Martinez’s use of him.

Ronaldo is pretty much guaranteed to play every minute regardless of his impact, whereas for a player of his age a substitute role may be more suitable.

He predictably lasted the full 90 here. Also predictably, he offered very little.
