Churches across Nigeria are holding interdenominational services to mourn thousands killed in violence or kidnapped by armed groups, raids and abductions.

June 14th has been declared “Black Sunday” to demand action.

Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Maiduguri.

Kinda funny that "certain" people were predicting Sharia Law & mass population exodus in NYC from the Mamdani era, and instead it's like the most joyous the city has ever been 😂

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

We miss you, and think of you often.

Session is wrapped. Spring is in bloom. I’m retiring soon. You two would have thrived in retirement. I trust you’re living it now.

We have our arms wrapped around your kids. They’re remarkable. We love them.

It is twenty-nine days, 696 hours and 41,760 minutes of trauma for Ogbomoso children and teachers.

@sisiese I haven't watched it yet but sounds like a story I heard from one of those FB crimes series once. Befriended another pregnant woman and murdered her to steal her child.

[Abimbola @Msbinny1]

@sisiese I am sold 😂

[Abimbola @Msbinny1]

@sisiese @c_nenye Lmao. I actually wanted to organize a watchparty for Arsenal's last PL match but wasn't in town.

[Abdool Moh. @abdool_moh]

It always beats my brain that Nigeria has a dedicated national programme & budget to fund the rehabilitation of terrorists but has nothing dedicated for the victims of the terrorists who are traumatized for life.

WE HAVE FAILED IF WE EVER STOP TALKING ABOUT BORNO & OYO CHILDREN.

[Ibrahim Suleiman @edomalo]

4 weeks later, the children kidnapped in Oyo are still not back home.

This country is just one long-running series of heartbreaks

Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo
Farewell, Oba Lapite
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Kola Oyewo—scholar, actor, teacher, cultural ambassador, and dear colleague.
I had the privilege of working with him on Koseegbe, Oleku and Saworoide where he gave a memorable performance as Oba Lapite. His portrayal brought depth, dignity, and humanity to the role, making the character one of the film’s most enduring figures.
Ironically, Lapite’s death in the story created a challenge for me as a filmmaker. Once he was publicly executed by Lagata, I could not bring Kola Oyewo back into the narrative. I missed him then.
Today, I miss him again.
Kola Oyewo belonged to a rare generation that successfully bridged scholarship and performance. He inspired countless students, actors, and audiences through his talent, humility, and lifelong commitment to learning, culture, theatre and film.
Nigeria has lost a remarkable artist.
Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo.
Farewell, Oba Lapite.
Your legacy will endure in the stories you told and the lives you touched.
Ire ni o.

Spot on. Globally, we need a giant leap forward on intervention and regulation.

I condemn any attempt to sell property in the settlements in the West Bank, be that in London or anywhere else in the world.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Kola Oweyo, a legendary thespian and scholar of African drama.

His iconic role as King Lapite in the timeless "Saworoide" immortalised his immense talent and teachings.

A great void has been left in Theatre Arts.

He will be sorely missed by lovers of African stories worldwide.

I join his family and fans in mourning this exceptional dramatist and teacher of social conscience. May his soul rest in peace. -AA

One of the fascinating stories about Baba ws that he transitioned from being a Non Academic staff to academic in Obafemi Awolowo University by getting admission to study Dramatic Arts- and, I think, his son was even a year ahead of him.

He became a lecturer & rose to the very pinnacle of his academic career.

Those who have never seen him on stage didn't see the best of him. Cameras did not do him enough justice.

He played Kabiyesi in Soyinka's DEATH & THE KING'S HORSEMAN at a command performance in Oduduwa hall & someone missed his lines. He didn't even skip the expression on his face to recover to get the dialogue back in.

A worthy Ife Alumnus, a consummate thespian & a man of culture.

E Sun re o, Baba.

[IDcabasa @Real_Idcabasa]

If it can happen to high ranking military officials then it can happen to you.

Again, ask yourself who are you that it can’t happen to you.

May this or that favour me is not a way to live.

This is not normal.

Our voices need to be louder than ever.
