The Auditor-General says there is no evidence of cash transfer payments to the poor, and the nation is silent.

What will make Nigerians speak?

At some point you’ll hear about a man called Jesus

It’s very important that you accept Him into your life and follow His ways.

[Afrika @Afrikanroots20]

This is honestly embarrassing for Africa. I don’t even blame the US for voting against it, we have more pressing issues: wars, famine, extreme poverty, failing health systems, unemployement, weak infrastructure and political instability. Why are we wasting energy asking the world to undo a colonial mindset and “see us correctly”? Build economic power, self-sufficency, strong institutions and military strenght. The world will adjust its map and its perception when it can no longer afford to underestimate Africa. Power changes perception faster than UN resolutions.

[SERAP @SERAPNigeria]

BREAKING: SERAP and the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) have urged the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to immediately reject and withdraw the Foreign Aids (Regulation, Transparency and Disclosure) Bill, 2026 (SB.1034), as the Bill is unnecessary, unlawful, unconstitutional and threatens civic space, media freedom and democratic participation in Nigeria.

If enacted, the Bill would establish an extensive framework for governmental control over civil society organisations, independent media, religious organisations and other organisations and private entities receiving foreign assistance.

The Bill, sponsored by Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo (PDP, Gombe North), proposes mandatory registration and disclosure requirements and provides for sanctions, including a minimum fine of N20 million for civil society organisations and private entities, as well as possible suspension or revocation of operating licences.

Although the Bill is presented in the guise of promoting transparency, it would establish an extensive framework for governmental control over civil society organisations and private entities receiving foreign assistance.

SERAP and NGE urged the National Assembly to immediately withdraw and reject the Bill and publicly commit not to reintroduce any legislation that unjustifiably restricts civic space, media freedom or the legitimate activities of civil society organisations and private entities.

Should the Bill be passed into law despite the serious constitutional and human rights concerns raised, SERAP and NGE will consider taking all appropriate legal action in the public interest to challenge it and protect freedom of association, media freedom and civic participation.
