- he increased NECO from 30,000 to 50,000
- he removed general electricity subsidy
- he increased tertiary institution’s tuition fees
- he also increased international passport fees from 50,000 to 100,000 last year
Nigerians are being priced out of basic civic entitlements. This is bad leadership!!

PUBLIC APPEAL TO IDENTIFY FAMILY OF MR ORIOWO GABRIEL
The Lagos State Police Command appeals to members of the public to assist in reuniting an elderly man with his family.
The man, Mr. Oriowo Gabriel, aged 83 years, was found by a kind-hearted member of the public and subsequently taken into protective Police custody at Ipaja Division, where he is currently safe and well cared for. Despite efforts by the Police to trace his family using the addresses he provided, all attempts have been unsuccessful, as the addresses have been visited and no one has been able to identify or locate his relatives.
The Command therefore humbly appeals to anyone who knows Mr. Oriowo Gabriel or has any information that could assist in reuniting him with his family or loved ones to kindly contact the DPO, Ipaja Division, on +234 803 799 3827.
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
URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!!
This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. He’s working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State.
Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days.
Yes you read that right.
A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. That’s about 10 months work with NO pay.
According to Dr Innocent,
The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay.
They have nobody to speak for them.
They have nobody to fight for them.
They are suffering and dying in silence.
Please if you see this tweet,
Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence,

Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence.
Pls share and retweet. Thank you.
Abdul (not real name) was a young musician and DJ from Kaduna State but lives in Lagos. On 16 October 2019 he went to perform at a neighbourhood gathering in Lagos State. At some point, he asked a young boy to help him buy something.
Minutes later, estate officials returned with the boy and accused Abdul of lying about why the child had been with him. Before he could understand what was happening, police officers arrived and arrested him.
This man in white and his security personnel of @NSCDCrops beat up my driver, his offence was asking why they chose to runaway after bashing my car with kids inside. He came out to ask questions while recording them, the personnel attached to the man in white pounced on him.

Ibanga Isine, an award-winning investigative journalist, did a multi-part deep dive into the killings in Southern Kaduna. By the time he published his investigation, nine of his sources had died mysteriously, one after another. Ibanga eventually fled Nigeria and only returned after El-Rufai was rendered politically irrelevant by the Tinubu administration.
As for me, after my release from 162 days of illegal detention, I began receiving death threats. My close friend, Rev. Fr. John Mark, who had called weeks earlier to warn me to be on my guard, was abducted and murdered without any ransom demand. I fled Nigeria by road and only returned after El-Rufai left office.
Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata, was not so fortunate. He never made it back alive after his abduction. The same tactics used to abduct him were used against me in Port Harcourt, but God spared my life.
If you think El-Rufai deserves sympathy, then you need to have your brain seriously examined.
So a consumer of this same yogurt took this yogurt to the lab to check if nutritional content matches what was displayed on the pack.
Turns out it didn’t. In May when I talked about food safety, I remember I specifically talked about brands using the accurate labels on their products.
Brands need to be held accountable for the information they publish. This goes beyond marketing but credibility.
I need Food Scientists to speak up because this is your area of expertise.
This isn’t just about Zayith yogurt saying it offers you 30g of protein per 100g alone but rather speaks to the entirety of what goes into consumer goods.
Nigerians we need to do better! I can’t be advising clients to read labels only to find out the labels are wrong.
Nigeria is on an absolute intellectual winning streak on the global stage! 🇳🇬🔥
While we are rightfully celebrating our brilliant boys who secured Mathematics gold in Rome today, we must also amplify the story of another history-maker.

Dear Gov @RtHonSheriff,
For over 8 yrs, the PHC project that started in Otorho community is still abandoned. Otorho has no functional health centre and solely relies on health facilities in Abraka, over 20mins away.
Kindly facilitate the construction of a PHC facility at Otorho.
