“Don't Allow Any Police Officers To Search Your Phone and we’re saying this due to the abuse and extortive tendencies of some of our officers. No police officer have the right to search your phone”
- FCT Commissioner Of Police says
"The lady in question is like a daughter to me. She stayed with me for three years. She spoke to her boyfriend around the time of her de@th, complaining that she was bl££ding, and the boyfriend said he would end the call so it wouldn't get wørse. If we have hands in the k!ll!ngs, it will backfire in our family. I'm a man of full grace for those tackling me"
— Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, reacts to reports of a lady found de@d at his residence.
Nigeria keeps saying it doesn’t have enough doctors.
We have only about 50,000 doctors serving over 200 million people. That's 1 Doctor to over 4,000 patients.
You'd expect every doctor willing to serve to be encouraged.
Instead, one is detained after carrying out a menstrual hygiene outreach in Kaduna State.
Another 238 young doctors who returned home to practise wake up to an unexplained increase in their induction fees from ₦265,000 to over ₦415,000.
We cannot keep discouraging the very people we desperately need.
I respectfully appeal to the @KadunaMOH, @GovKaduna, @WHONigeria, @NGRSenate, @NGRPresident, and @Fmohnigeria to ensure Dr Al-Amin regains his freedom, and to the @MDCNOfficial to review this new fee.
This ship was given clearance to pass the strait of Hormuz by The U.S. without even coordinating with the IRGC.
It is now in the bottom of the sea after catching fire.
For a safe passage through the strait, only The IRGC can give you clearance.
This week, I have observed with deep concern two notable media appearances: one by my brother, Mr. Peter Obi, and the other by the family of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
In his interview with Mr. Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Obi voiced serious worries about his personal safety and the adverse impact his role as an opposition leader has had on his businesses. Even more troubling was the Federal Government’s response, which resorted to personal insults and derogatory language instead of the restraint and maturity expected of a democratic administration.
Let me state clearly: like every Nigerian, our presidential candidate and all of us deserve the full protection of the state, not ridicule for raising legitimate concerns.
Democratic leadership requires fairness, justice, and restraint.
A government entrusted with protecting citizens should not dismiss or mock credible calls for help from any individual, including Mr. Peter Obi.
On the other hand, it was distressing to watch the wives of Malam Nasir El-Rufai publicly express the family’s anguish over his prolonged detention.
Regardless of political affiliation, Malam El-Rufai, like every Nigerian, is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a competent court. The continued delay in granting him bail through what many perceive as stringent and unreasonable conditions is deeply concerning. As an unconvicted citizen, he deserves a fair and expeditious trial, while his health and that of his family are adequately safeguarded.
I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians in urging the Federal Government to handle these matters with transparency, accountability, and justice. These issues must not be weaponised to settle political scores.
For our democracy to truly thrive, every citizen; young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political persuasion must receive equal and equitable treatment under the law from the government that exists to protect us all. - RMK
