These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.

They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.

These are the names I could copy:
Francis Adekunle
2087495551
Kuda

Friday Ikpe

Okay

This is the phone number of the notorious Officer Friday Ikpe 09136237110. I got it from his opay

The first and only time I ever bet on football was in 1990, when I bet that Cameroon would beat Argentina in the World Cup. The odds were 20-1. I bet £1 (that was all I could afford then) and won £20! Madam and I were living in one room in Seven Sisters, London, then. We were finally able to order egg fried rice and beef in oyster sauce from the local Chinese restaurant. Before then, it was just egg fried rice with chilli sauce and no protein.

I don’t suffer before for this my life o. And this woman suffered with me. Some days, we could only afford one meal and she would lie that she had eaten and give me the meal to eat when I came back from work. I grew up with many relatives living with us. So, by upbringing, I was raised not to finish everything on my plate. It was by watching how she wolfed down everything left on my plate that I finally realised that this woman had not eaten and had sacrificed herself to make sure I ate.

So, now, when anybody says “She’s the one eating all his money, I ask: “Before nko? Were you there when we were eating egg fried rice with no protein from Red Square Chinese Restaurant in 1990?” 😂

Last night, at Rivers State University (RSU) Campus, a car driven by a set of young men veered off the road and knocked down a girl on the pedestrian walkway.

Sadly, the girl did not make it, while other occupants of the vehicle ran away, one of them was caught.

I’ll never forget your goal against Manchester united in the champions league final.

Ankara Messi will always be memorable till the end of time.

Your first hatrick against Real Madrid at 19 years old, your solo goal against Atletic Bilbao.

Your free kick goal against Liverpool, your goal against Real Betis that had the opponent giving you a standing ovation.

Your last minute goal at the Santiago Bernabeu, the volley against Sevilla, your last minute free kick to win PSG the league,

I will always remember your goal against Bayern Bayern Munich after dropping Boateng on the floor, your goal against Mexico to put our dream of winning the world cup back on track, your first goal for Inter Miami ( a last minute free kick goal) , your free kick goal against Nigeria.

I’ll never forget what you’re to football and the amount of joy you bring to my heart every single time i watch you play. I’ll pass it to the younger generations that you’re the greatest of all time, a humble one, a selfless one,

Happy Birthday Lionel Messi, you’ll forever be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME❤️

My Experience as an INEC Ad Hoc Staff in the Ekiti Election

A few people have asked me, "From your own perspective, was the election free and fair?"

Based on what I witnessed firsthand as one of the INEC ad hoc staff, my answer is yes, it was free and fair.

There was no rigging that I observed. There were no fights, no violence, and no atmosphere of fear. People moved around freely, and the entire process went smoothly.

One concern I noticed was the issue of vote-buying by some political actors. However, it is important to separate that from INEC's responsibility. If individuals choose to sell their votes, that is a societal challenge that we as citizens must address. From my observation, INEC put measures in place to ensure that the electoral process itself was transparent and credible.

One thing that particularly impressed me was how INEC made the voting process easier for registered voters. Many people believe that if they do not have their PVC with them, they cannot vote. However, at each polling unit, INEC printed and pasted the names of all registered voters on the wall for easy access.

This meant that a voter could simply go to the list, locate their name, and write down the last six digits of their PVC number. They would then proceed to the accreditation point, provide those six digits, and the BVAS would retrieve their details for verification. Once successfully accredited, they could proceed to vote.

I found this to be a very thoughtful innovation because it reduced the frustration of people who may have misplaced their PVC or forgotten to bring it along. As long as they were duly registered and their details could be verified, they were able to participate in the electoral process.

Another commendable aspect was the role of BVAS in preventing irregularities. The device electronically records the number of accredited voters. Therefore, if the number of votes counted exceeds the number of accredited voters captured by the BVAS, it is immediately identified as over-voting. This significantly reduces opportunities for manipulation and helps protect the integrity of the election.

I also observed that political parties and their agents understood the consequences of violence. Everyone knew that any polling unit affected by violence could have its results canceled. As a result, there was a conscious effort to maintain peace throughout the exercise.

Perhaps the most inspiring part of the day was the unity among the people at my polling unit. We had supporters and agents from APC, PDP, and ADC, yet they related like family. Even when we reminded them to remain peaceful, they simply laughed and said, "We are families; we cannot fight because of politics."

And they truly meant it.

Throughout the exercise, they joked with one another, played together, and maintained a friendly atmosphere. Even after the results were announced and APC emerged victorious in that polling unit, there was no hostility. They continued to laugh, tease one another, and go about their activities peacefully.

That experience reminded me of the kind of democracy we should strive for as a nation.

Politics should never make enemies out of family members, friends, neighbors, or community members. Political parties will come and go, but our relationships and our shared humanity should remain.

My experience gave me hope that peaceful elections are possible when institutions do their jobs and citizens choose peace over conflict.

Before we are members of any political party, we are first families, neighbors, and fellow Nigerians.

Dear Lionel Messi, I apologise for ever debating whether you were the greatest of all time. To my mind, your competition was never Cristiano Ronaldo. I was thinking more about Diego Maradona and Pele. I now realise that you are better than both of them. You are better than anyone who has ever kicked a football. I am lucky to have been alive to watch you play. You are the greatest of all time! I bow and tremble. 🙌🏽🙇‍♂���

I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

@esetwits @ruffydfire Even ADC and NDC are having issues with their conducted primaries, where they all claimed was rigged.
People who couldn't conduct common party primaries fairly want INEC to conduct general elections fairly😂😂😂
