Delta Community Chairman Reportedly Whips Resident Over Criticism of Abandoned NDDC Road Project.

[Itsede Okhai @Senior_Sley]

Imagine losing your 14-year-old child without a trace. You search everywhere, pray every day, and hold on to hope for years. His parents finally died without ever knowing the truth or finding their son.

This video I just watched traumatizes me.

After 18 long years, the missing boy was finally found locked away in a Port Harcourt correctional facility. He was allegedly picked up for loitering as a child, never taken before a court, and forgotten there for nearly two decades.

The cruelty didn't end there. His identity was changed, so every search by his family using his real name led nowhere. Years past, his family searched that same prison facility but couldn't see find him because of the identity change.

He has now been found, but the little boy they lost returned as a partially blind and mentally unstable man.

If there is one prayer you must not relent on as a Nigerian, it should be "may Nigeria never happen to me."

So if Alex Onyia didn’t decide to take these kids to Rome, you mean the world would not have seen us win gold?

Some other country would have won and we would have thought they were the brightest on earth?

Bad Governance is hiding the greatness of Nigerians.

I’ve said on previous tweets that Nigerians are the brightest and smartness people on earth. No enabling environment to showcase that brilliance.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

The wait is over.

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.

We are the best in the world!

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.

🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: Statement from UEFA on FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's one-match suspension:

"Yesterday's decision to suspend for a probationary period of a year the
implementation of the one-match automatic suspension following the red card issued to the player Folarin Balogun crossed a red line."

"Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition. Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not."

"A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted. It is a principle embedded in regulations, which cannot be made subject to exceptions, let alone in the middle of a tournament where several other players have been in the same situation and regularly served their suspension."

"When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined. Equally, such decision creates a precedent in the ongoing tournament, where similar situations will now require an equal treatment, to the detriment of the competition."

"Football is the most loved sport in the world because it is a beautiful game and is trusted because it is played everywhere with the same laws. A tournament is never a pure standalone and, if the tournament in question is the World Cup, it has the power to drive positive or negative consequences on the game as a whole."

"We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision."

First-world countries will invite immigrants to fill jobs, but won’t educate citizens on why they need immigrants to fill those jobs.

When the citizens start complaining, they will pretend to be tough on immigration, fully understanding they caused the problems.

White solidarity does not even have to make perfect historical or ethnic sense. The people involved do not have to be closely related or even share a contemporary ethnic identity. Time and again, influential white power structures have shown a willingness to close ranks when they perceive a challenge from Black people.

They may have their own longstanding blood feuds, rivalries, and even wars among themselves, but history also shows that those divisions can quickly become secondary when broader racial, political, or strategic interests are perceived to be at stake.

In such moments, they often unite not only to fuck you but also to ensure that white people within your own society retain a structural advantage over you. That is a recurring political pattern, whether you acknowledge or not.

It is frustrating when you have to explain this to some Africans who insist that Black people have no reason to cultivate solidarity and that we have nothing in common, even while those hostile to us often flatten our differences and treat us as a single group.

If others are willing to generalize us collectively, there is at least a practical argument for collective awareness, mutual support, and cooperation, even without denying our internal diversity.

In Nigeria, just don’t be poor. Because the most diabolical things can happen to you. Someone can kill you and take your organs. Or use you to replace a prisoner that has paid to escape prison. Or make you disappear for saying the wrong thing. And absolutely nothing will happen even if it comes to light. Poverty is the only crime in that fucked up country.

[Basil @basilabia]

Out of Nigeria’s 195,000km road network, only 60,000km is paved.

Out of its 4,332km rail track network, only 951km of it is in ‘partial’ use.

I understand the need to be a Jeff Bezos, but he built Amazon on the back of U.S. transportation & logistical infrastructure i.e. USPS.

[Steve Dede @SteveDedee]

This is cruelty at its core. Even more troubling is that the victim and his family will be left alone to deal with this barbarity.
Citizens who care deeply about their country would rally around this family, demanding justice and accountability for those responsible. There should be public outcry and protests over this.
There's no hope for a state that treats its citizens in this manner. Nigeria is a disaster.

Nigerian journalism is in the gutter. This is a story that should be investigated by journalists themselves and they are discussing it as if they are reporting gossip and reading out tweets. Journalism is not peddling gossip and discussing it like they are The View.

[Malachy Odo II @MalachyOdo1]

When Peter Obi said that it a President isn't stealing, his family members aren't stealing and close allies of the President aren't stealing as well, then you've reduced corruption by over 70%, these APC rabid dogs started foaming in the mouth.

What will give some people in the Presidency the impetus to pull off #GbajaGate if not because they know that their Principal's hands are soiled.

What a scandal!

How do I explain to him that it’s “left” this time

Earlier today, Darius Khobo, a judge of the High Court of Kaduna State reportedly dismissed an application for bail by @elrufai, the former @GovKaduna currently undergoing trial at the instance of @icpcnigeria.

To be clear, all sides agree the charges are bailable. In this instance - the 3rd bail application to be rejected at the instance of Mr. el-Rufai - the application was on medical grounds.

A medical report presented in support of his bail application & signed by a consultant at the @NatHospital_ABJ, said that he had metastatic prostate cancer.

No one denied that the report was signed by a medical doctor nor did anyone question his qualifications to issue it. Instead, @icpcnigeria reportedly countered this with a letter from the CMD of the National Hospital which said that they do not have any record of @elrufai as a patient.

On this basis, the judge declined the bail application.

As I have said previously, I have profound issues with Mr. el-Rufai's record of persecution of opponents while he was governor in Kaduna. But I will not bite his nose in order to spite the cause of justice.

I take no position as to the contents of the medical report tendered in support of el-Rufai's bail application. However, it is manifest judicial tomfoolery to dismiss a medical report based on the assertion of the CMD about what could be a failure of internal administrative protocols in the hospital group when the CMD is not held out as an attending physican or consultant.

The relationship of a patient is with his or her physician not with the hospital group. Unless it can be shown that the Dr. does not exist or is unqualified, there is no justification for denying credit to the medical report. Absent those grounds, this decision on this bail application reeks of #JudicialMalpractice.

So you mean to tell me a lawyer who was accused of stealing a client's money as a lawyer and got suspended/disbarred still gets accused of stealing money now that he has been rewarded with high office? Shocking! How could it be that people who were criminals in the US are still criminals in Nigeria? I can't understand it.
