Dear Mr. David Adeleke AKA @Davido,

Thank you for your feedback. I was rather surprised by your response to my post, setting the record straight on Peter Obi's false allegations against His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, regarding the repatriation of Nigerian prisoners from the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

Most shocking is your insult.

You are an international celebrity whom Nigeria is proud of. Coming to insult me on my Instagram profile with such vulgar words should be beneath you.

Yes, I am aware that you were upset at my appeal to you not to use an international platform, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to give publicity to bandits and terrorists. I am also aware that Peter Obi praised you for doing that, which may have made you feel compelled to defend him.

I did that because while your intention may be good and you think you are pressuring the government, the actual effect of what you did is to give publicity to the terrorists and help them spread fear, recruit new members, and raise funds.

How can you, a Nigerian citizen, with a global platform, go on a global stage to give publicity to terrorists and de-market Nigeria, meanwhile, at that same event, and on that same day, IShowSpeed, an American citizen, used his celebrity and the global stage of the World Cup to market Nigeria by wearing a Nigerian jersey and speaking well of the same country you de-marketed.

Many of us do not know what we have got.

Let me give you an example: As an American citizen, you may be aware of the October 7, 2023, abduction of 254 people by terrorists in Israel, of whom the majority were women and children, including American, British, and Canadian citizens.

There are many celebrities bigger than you in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Since October 7, 2023, these celebrities have performed on many global platforms, including the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, and the UEFA Champions League.

Yet, none of them used such platforms to say ANYTHING about the October 7 abduction because they know that publicity helps terrorists and hurts hostages.

We saw that in Nigeria. The #ChibokGirls were abducted on April 14, 2014. The then Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, revealed that the military had located the girls and were ready to rescue them.

However, after Michelle Obama held up the #BringBackOurGirls banner in May of 2014, the publicity resulted in Boko Haram separating the girls into different groups and keeping them in various camps, while increasing security around them, which made it literally impossible to rescue them.

Thereafter, Boko Haram's recruitment was boosted, and their finances exploded, and six months later, ISIS announced that they had merged with Boko Haram to form ISWAP.

That is what I was trying to explain to you. Just like Margaret Thatcher said, "publicity is the oxygen of terrorism."

It is also why the UNESCO Handbook for Journalists on Terrorism Coverage urges public figures not to grant terrorists any publicity.

I hope you now understand my point of view. Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Alhamdulillah!

The wedding events of my union, which has expanded our family under our beautiful Nupe customs and Islamic traditions, have just concluded successfully in Kwara. The celebrations spanned three towns, Lafiagi, Tsaragi, and Ilorin; from the colourful Tsakan/Nupe traditional day, through the Nikkah, and ended with the reception. It was a beautiful gathering filled with love, rich cultural celebration, prayers, and the heartfelt warmth of family and friends.

To my Uwarigida, thank you for your understanding, patience, and cooperation, especially through the nay-sayings and challenges. Your strength and grace continue to inspire and steady our home.

To our beloved parents, siblings, extended family, friends, supporters, and well-wishers, we sincerely thank you for your sacrifices, guidance, and unwavering support. If I have my way, I would have mentioned everybody’s name. You all stood by us and held us up in ways words cannot fully capture.

Special appreciation also goes to our mentors, friends, colleagues, and the wonderful community that showed up in large numbers, sent messages, gifts, and prayers. Your presence turned these moments into cherished memories.

May Allah bless every soul that contributed in any way, forgive our shortcomings, and grant us a blessed union rooted in love, peace, barakah, mutual respect, and lasting harmony.

Egi Nupe remains deeply grateful.

Ekiti Knowledge Zone is taking shape as a world-class innovation and enterprise hub in Nigeria.

Yesterday, Ekiti Knowledge Zone (EKZ) reached a significant milestone with the official sod-turning ceremony for the project at Ago Araromi, Ado Ekiti.

At the event, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, commended the vision behind EKZ and its potential to become a national centre for innovation, research, technology, and skills development.

Governor Biodun Oyebanji reaffirmed that EKZ is designed to unlock the talent of Ekiti people, attract technology-driven industries, and create opportunities for the next generation of innovators. The project is expected to generate over 20,000 jobs in its first phase and up to 100,000 jobs across all phases.

EKZ is building an ecosystem for innovation, entrepreneurship, research, and sustainable economic growth. #EkitiKnowledgeZone

Yesterday, Ekiti State stood still as we received Nigeria’s First Lady, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu @oluremitinubu . Her one-day working visit to flag off the APC Women Campaign Rally at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion brought an undeniable wave of energy, hope, and pride to our dear state.
​Our administration has always believed in empowering the backbones of our society, our women. The First Lady beautifully amplified this mission by launching a ₦100 million empowerment grant through her Renewed Hope Initiative, providing ₦50,000 each to 2,000 hardworking women to scale up their small businesses.
​This high-profile endorsement from the presidency is a powerful confirmation that our work in Ekiti is making a national impact.
Our women are financially strengthened, our youth are digitally equipped, and our momentum toward June 20 is completely unstoppable.
Let us keep moving forward together.

True governance belongs to the people, and real leadership means engaging directly with every single voice that drives our economy.

The last 48 hours in Ekiti have been a powerful demonstration of our absolute unity and shared vision for a prosperous state.
I held highly productive strategic sessions with our Tricycle and Okada riders, alongside the leadership and members of the NURTW, RTEAN, the private sector, and our incredibly resilient artisans.
These are the men and women who keep Ekiti moving every day. Our discussions focused on protecting our industrial peace, improving welfare, and creating an environment where every local business can thrive.
To back our commitment with immediate action, we also flagged off and disbursed the Community Investment Fund (CIF) to our various Women Affinity Groups (WAGs).
This financial boost goes directly into the hands of our grassroots women, giving them the economic power to scale up their businesses and support their families.
From the roads to the marketplaces, our people-first approach remains completely unshakable.
The overwhelming energy and endorsement from every sector prove that Ekiti is ready to protect its progress.
Let us march forward together with confidence as we approach June 20.

We are officially in the final stretch.

Exactly 15 days from today, the people of Ekiti will make a defining choice for the future of our state.

​Over the last few years, we have proven that governance can be decent, transparent, and result-driven. We have opened up our economy, secured global recognition for our infrastructure, and guaranteed free education for our children. We did not just make promises; we built a new standard of excellence.

​On June 20, we vote to protect this momentum. We vote to ensure that no ongoing project is abandoned and no community is left behind. Let us stand united to keep Ekiti on the path of permanent progress.

Your vote is the key to securing our tomorrow.

Ekiti Set for Economic Transformation as Vice President Shettima Set to Flag Off Knowledge Zone Project

Ekiti State is set to take a major step towards becoming a leading innovation and technology hub as Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E. Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, prepares to perform the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ekiti Knowledge Zone (EKZ).

The ambitious project is expected to unlock new economic opportunities by attracting investments in technology, digital services, business process outsourcing, research, and entrepreneurship. Once operational, the EKZ will serve as a catalyst for innovation-driven growth and position Ekiti as a key player in Nigeria’s emerging knowledge economy.

The Knowledge Zone is projected to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, particularly for young people, while creating an enabling environment for startups, technology companies, and investors. It is also expected to boost the state's internally generated revenue and accelerate economic diversification.

Stakeholders have described the project as a strategic investment in the future of Ekiti, with the potential to strengthen the state's standing as a centre of excellence in education, innovation, and human capital development.

The groundbreaking ceremony marks a major milestone in the state's journey towards sustainable economic development and technological advancement.

Yesterday, we achieved a historic milestone in healthcare by commissioning the state-of-the-art Centre for Newborn Health Research and Innovation (CeNHRI) at EKSUTH, Ado-Ekiti.

This facility is the very first center in Nigeria.

[Biodun Oyebanji @biodunaoyebanji]

Yesterday, we achieved a historic milestone in healthcare by commissioning the state-of-the-art Centre for Newborn Health Research and Innovation (CeNHRI) at EKSUTH, Ado-Ekiti.

This facility is the very first center in Nigeria focused entirely on newborn health, innovation, and cutting-edge clinical research. We deliberately designed this to serve as an African-focused hub that will generate knowledge, build medical capacity, and significantly reduce infant mortality rates.

True governance means protecting life at its most fragile stage. By investing in world-class medical infrastructure, we are ensuring that Ekiti stands out as a national leader in healthcare excellence.
We are proving once again that clean, visionary leadership delivers permanent results for our people.

I was at the Ceremonial Sunset, Dinner and Awards Night marking the 70th Anniversary of the Nigerian Navy at Naval Dockyard Limited, Victoria Island.

For seven decades, the Nigerian Navy has remained a vital pillar of our national security, protecting our waters and safeguarding our national interests.

Lagos shares a deep and historic bond with the Navy. Beyond securing our coastline, their presence plays a significant role in protecting our economy and supporting maritime trade.

I commend the officers, ratings and veterans whose dedication and sacrifice continue to strengthen our nation.

Congratulations to the Nigerian Navy on this remarkable milestone and 70 years of distinguished service to our country.
