@AFPFactCheck families and threats from armed groups. While inaccurate images should be corrected, the scale of the security crisis is not receiving enough international attention.
@AFPFactCheck I understand that your fact-check concluded that the images used in the post were not from Nigeria. However, I would also like to draw attention to the broader issue of insecurity in Nigeria. Many communities continue to face kidnappings, attacks on schools, displacement of
Dear Catholics,
Defend yourselves with a well-articulated and evidence-based argument:
God says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
Why then do we have carved images in our churches and homes?

PRESS STATEMENT
In the last 24 hours, social media has exploded over my interview with Mehdi Hassan, albeit with varied opinions. Let me set the record straight.
When I signed on to the privileged job granted to me by Mr. President, I was well aware of its implications. Selling ice cream, looking fine, and seeking the praises of men were never part of it. Some of the fiercest critics of my interview can not even stand local TV anchors. But the task of promoting and defending the President and his administration is what I do with ease and joy. I am prepared to appear before any interviewer, anywhere in the world, any day and at any time, to defend this government and its policies.
I have never, and will never, subscribe to ducking or dodging interviews on matters that concern promoting and defending the administration I was appointed to serve. It is the least of what is required of me.
Head to Head contacted me requesting an interview, stating that they wanted to challenge our government on security, the economy, and corruption. Nowhere in our almost six months of communication did they mention that they were going to challenge my past. If that had been their plan, ethically and professionally, they were supposed to inform me so I could prepare my response. But that’s okay, ethically, that is on them, not on me.
I refused to swallow the pill of Mehdi’s “opposition research-style journalism,” and even today, if you carefully compare what he read as quotes from organisations and groups, you will see that many were inaccurate and some were outright fake news. But I will leave that for another day.
As for what I said about President Tinubu in the past, I am glad those were things I said when I was in the opposition saddle with such zeal. It is all politics. Half of Donald Trump’s cabinet is made up of people who once spoke against him, and quite a number of people in our own cabinet also spoke against President Tinubu in the past. Those things do not bother him if you care to know.
The majority of the naysayers are members of the opposition and their sympathisers. It does not bother me one bit. Their temporary excitement over the interview has not lasted and will not last, because it does not take away their obvious problem of lack of vision, mission in conducting and managing a political party; yet they seek to manage Nigeria. Clearly they have no path to victory and no alternative policies or program for the Nigerian people. And if they say they do, they can as well go to head to head and be interrogated on that; as the saying in Hausa goes “Ga fili Ga doki”
I conclude by thanking the many Nigerians and non-Nigerians who sent in their commendations over my brave defence of our government in an interview where the anchor would hardly let you answer a question unless it suited his narrative.
I still have admiration and respect for Mehdi Hassan as arguably the best debater on the planet. I look forward to part two of the Head to Head interview, and I am glad that by then questions about my past will no longer be news so that we can focus on our administration’s policies, programs and what we have achieved so far.
Stay tuned.

This is the best edited video about the Daniel Bwala shameful interview.
Wheoever edited this video needs to be compensated.
Daniel Bwala is the most shameless human alongside Reno Omokri.
African women are burning their wigs and now choosing their natural hair with confidence.
In this video, Zahra Haidara burns her wig as a statement and encourages other women to openly embrace their roots with pride.
Will Nigerian women participate?
This is sad to read.
Someone should pls tell the reverend to open a verified X account. Elon Musk will not allow anybody to gag or silence him here.
And pls he should ensure a reputable person/persons run the account for him- because some heartless christian thieves calling themselves “prophet” here recently tried to use the man’s name to monetise the genocide message just to sell some shady crypto and steal people’s money.
