“I am not alone in this world.”

In 2021, Dean Onwuchekwa, a lance corporal in the Nigerian Army, had a mine laid by Boko Haram blow up in his face.

It didn't stop him and in 2023 he took part in the Armed Forces para-snow sport event run by the Invictus Games Foundation ⬇️

"It's like Buhari is better than Tinubu. Renewed hope? What is the renewed hope?"

@josh_akinyemi spoke to Lagosians about cost of living, which has worsened since the removal of the fuel subsidy.

Needless to say people are not happy, especially this man, who voted for Tinubu.

[Joshua Akinyemi @josh_akinyemi]

Some Nigerians are fed up with the country’s economic state.

Lai Mohammed described the shooting at the Lekki tollgate on 20.10.20 as a "massacre without blood or bodies."

The streets are calm, but there is a heavy security presence and roadblocks in parts of the city.

@josh_akinyemi & I are back in Adamawa for the supplementary elections.

Last month's gubernatorial polls were declared inconclusive, so voting will take place again in 69 polling units across the state.

Will Adamawa elect 🇳🇬's first female governor? 🤔

[Azeezat Olaoluwa 💙 @AzeezatOlaoluwa]

@briticoyemo @josh_akinyemi My colleagues @briticoyemo and @josh_akinyemi are in Adamawa to cover the supplementary election. If you want the latest news tomorrow, you know what to do.
