#Nigeria on my mind. The central symmetry for any nation to be able to rise above its challenges and engender growth and prosperity is the absolute right of its citizens to choose their leaders. Once that right is less than absolute, nothing else works.
#Edo who is that town planner that advised @EdoGov to waste taxpayers money on a flyover in a built up area of Benin City? What problem is it intended to solve for the good people of Edo State?
President Tinubu's decision to impose Governor Monday Okpebholo on the good people of Edo State will not go without consequences. Mark my words, this singular decision will prove to be the Achilles' heel of the twilight years of his presidency.
@presidenttinubu brand of politics is fuelling insecurity across the country. His ongoing attempt to annex Nigeria through fraudulent elections and coercion is bound to fail. Nigerians are waiting for him in 2027. He will be defeated.

Have we lost our humanity? The extra-judicial killing in Uromi, Edo State, stands condemned. The government and security agencies must move quickly to bring the perpetrators to book and to restore law and order in the community.
The illegal @inecnigeria selected government in Edo is living up to its promise. Chaos everywhere. Their thugs have taken over everything in Benin City.
@GEJonathan Mr. President, you have not gone far enough. The irresponsible behaviour of @inecnigeria and the @NigerianPolice have to be called out. It is important that those with a VOICE in Nigeria must speak up now before they plunge the country into crisis.
@Nigeria at a crossroad. Not since the return to democratic rule in 1999 have we seen this level of open brazen impunity on the part of the institutions designed to protect our democracy. Both @inecnigeria and the @NigerianPolice have effectively become a branch of the APC.
"Just try it, then part of your history as a fraudulent Inspector General of Police will include shooting (Governor) Fubura. I think I have given (you) enough respect"
~ Governor Sim Fubura of Rivers State.
So the urge to "teach Obaseki a lesson" overrides the will of Edo people. Many thanks to @inecnigeria for bringing disgrace to themselves and to the entire Nigeria nation. We are better than this.
The foundation of good governance is a free, democratic and fair elections. If those in authority in @inecnigeria do not understand that correlation, de ja vu to them.
Appointing cronies of APC chieftains to superintendent over Edo elections is their choice, not an oversight.
If @inecnigeria is unperturbed Edo REC is a cousin and former appointee of Mr. Wike, a self-professed party in this election, then, they had rather announce their result today
#Edo2024 it is disingenuous to continue to project Monday Okpebholo in this election unless you have other motives than the welfare of Edo people. What is he going to Osadebey Avenue to do? This man has no plans, no manifesto, and is not able to engage anyone for any discussion.
#Team Nigeria returns empty-handed from the Paris Olympics. Nowhere is years of neglect more evident than this one. The shame of a nation. No country the size of Nigeria have had to deal with such disgrace.
I wish to convey a stern caution to the distinguished service chiefs and military commanders of Nigeria's armed forces that those who authorise the use of lethal force against peaceful civilian protesters will be held responsible for committing crimes against humanity, even in the years following their retirement from service. The constitutional right to engage in protest is firmly established within our supreme law and reinforced by the judiciary. It is the solemn duty of the government and security agencies to ensure a safe and protected environment for individuals exercising their right to peaceful protest. -AA
#Edo2024 The APC campaign in Edo has descended into a campaign of calumny and deepening crises. They have no plans, no manifestos, and nothing of substance to talk about. All you hear is complaints about the hording of palliatives. Vengeance has become their main PLAN for Edo.
That is the fate Zenith Bank’s Mrs. Adaora Umeoji Nwokoye has been suffering since her announcement as the first woman Group Managing Director and CEO of the bank. In what is supposed to be her moment of joy, she’s contending with an avalanche of mean, nasty remarks and misogynistic bullying from insecure men with fragile egos who, instead of being happy for her, choose to question her qualifications, obsess over her looks, and ascribe her rise to a reward for sexual favors.
The most egregious of this came from a widely shared Facebook post by one Azolike Nonso Afemefuna who wrote that Mrs. Umeoji-Nwokoye looked “like a hook up [sic] girl” and that he would “NEVER take [Zenith Bank] seriously again” for appointing her its boss.
