🇳🇬 JUST IN: Nigerians Call for the Sack of INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, Over Open Pro APC Partisanship
A major controversy has erupted today, April 10, 2026, after old tweets traced to Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan resurfaced online, showing clear and unapologetic support for the APC and President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 general elections.
The posts, originally made in March 2023 via the handle @Sundayvibe00, included statements like “Victory is sure” while celebrating APC performance during gubernatorial polling. The tone of the tweets was openly partisan, projecting strong allegiance to the ruling party at the time.
As the screenshots went viral on X, the account was abruptly altered. The handle was changed to @Sundayvibe00, the profile was locked, and it now carries a “Parody Account” label, a move widely seen as a clear attempt to distance from the exposed posts.
Nigerians are now demanding his immediate removal, insisting that such visible political bias disqualifies him from overseeing a neutral and credible electoral process ahead of 2027.
The backlash has intensified nationwide, with growing calls that the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system cannot be entrusted to someone with a documented history of partisan advocacy.
@Trader_XO Wow just seeing this. It hits different as I just started an Agentic AI course. Never coded before. Medical background. But I’m extremely keen about the deeper layers of how systems operate toward a goal.
I wore an earring to church yesterday.
I went to worship. I went with my whole chest. I was present, I was focused, I was ready to receive.
Then a stranger tapped me mid-service and told me God was disappointed in me.
Not because of my character. Not because of how I treat people. Not because of anything I said or did.
Because of a piece of metal on my ear.
I told him to mind his business. He told me my business in Christ is his business.
I want you to think about that for a second.
A man walked into the house of God and decided his assignment that morning was not to worship. It was to police another man’s appearance. To appoint himself as the gatekeeper of who is acceptable before God.
I have tattoos too, by the way. Should the church post bouncers at the gate for that as well?
Here is what nobody wants to say out loud: the church has driven more people away with judgment than the world ever did with temptation.
I did not leave angry at God. I left asking one question.
If the first thing a man of faith does when he sees me is tell me I am a disappointment, why would someone who does not know God think church is a place for them?
We are so busy enforcing dress codes, we forgot the assignment was love.
NATO was founded in 1949 in the aftermath of WW2. Its core mission was collective defense against Soviet expansion during the Cold War. Article 5 of NATO declares that “an armed attack against one member is an attack against all”. This was invoked for the first time after 9/11, when EU allies joined the US in Afghanistan.
During WW2, the US decisively aided Europe through the Lend-Lease Act and supplied billions in arms and materiel before Pearl Harbor. American troops led the D-Day liberation of Normandy in 1944 and bore over 400,000 deaths to defeat Hitler and Nazi Germany.
Post WW2, the US Marshall Plan donated $13 billion (over $150 billion today) into rebuilding war-ravaged Europe, laying the foundation for its prosperity post WW2 and the NATO alliance itself.
For 75 years, the US has shouldered the bulk of NATO’s defense spending and capabilities, securing Europe’s peace.
In this ongoing Iran war, admittedly triggered by US-Israeli strikes against Iran; any aggression threatening global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz; EU NATO partners should reciprocate based on history, alliances with the US as a nation not singling out a person (Trump).
Historical gratitude, shared security and the need to deter nuclear threats demand unity. Just as the US stood with Europe in its darkest hour in WW2. It is imperative Europe backs her ally to preserve the transatlantic bond that has prevented major World Wars since 1945.
The NATO alliance was with the nation not President Trump.
@Rajatsoni As someone from a third world country I have come to fully understand the reality of your first statement. It is not even just an industry, it has become a fundamental one for the global fiat economy
Neurotypicals: "I'm tired. I'll just go to sleep now."
ADHDers: "I am physically exhausted, but my brain is currently holding my eyes open because I haven't had enough 'Me Time' to feel satisfied with today."
Again, education is the greatest thing you can give a poor Nigerian kid, education has placed people in rooms they never thought they’ll be in, I think you people are out of touch with the reality of this country.
