Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.

As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.

I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.

Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.

Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.

We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.

Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.

A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.

A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Our children are getting “duller” and education standards plummeting. Can you tie this to “our” political choices or do I need to spell it out for you?

Poor nutrition, poor remuneration for teachers, abandoned public schools, ridiculous budget for education ministry, corruption.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

This internet theory that there’s no hormones that can directly lead to weight gain in men is laughable at best. There’s low thyroid hormones, increased cortisol from stress& lack of sleep, low testosterone in hypogonadism or ageing men. Heck, might even be liver or heart disease

This is the face of the man who executed the suspect in Effurun Delta State.. He must be arrested...

[Harrison Gwamnishu @HarrisonBbi18]

They said more than five police officers were involved in the extrajudicial killing of Oghenemine. So why is only one person being paraded as the culprit?

Justice cannot be selective. Every officer involved must be identified, investigated, and prosecuted accordingly. Anything less is a coverup.

We must not allow this to fade away like just another social media trend. Real lives are being lost, and silence only enables more abuse.

The world watched how justice was pursued in the case of George Floyd. We must demand the same level of accountability here.

If you can’t make a post, please share this message. Speak up. Demand justice.

Hi Hamid,

I am Yusuf. I came across your mountains post from yesterday 25/4, and it stopped me completely. I decided to push myself to the limit and implement your formula from scratch, pixel by pixel, as a personal mathematical challenge.

After careful study of the image, I have successfully identified and understood 12 of the 14 mathematical objects:

✓ F(x) — color compression to [0, 255]
✓ N_s(x,y) — fractal noise with 6^5 * 5^(-s) frequency scaling
✓ E(x,y) — fractal envelope as a 50-term weighted sum
✓ Z_s(x,y) — layer occlusion product
✓ S(x,y) — sky value
✓ R(x,y) — layer depth value
✓ T(x,y) — distance to mountain center
✓ B(x,y) — slope angle via arctan
✓ A(x,y) — layer brightness
✓ H_v(x,y) — final color channel for v = 0, 1, 2
✓ Coordinate mapping: x = (m-1000)/600, y = (601-n)/600
✓ The full N_s structure

The two I cannot read precisely enough from the image are:
✗ J_s(x,y) — the mountain shape indicator
✗ K_v(x,y) — the lighting kernel

I can see the general structure of both. J_s uses a double exponential with cosine products and E(x,y)/1000 in the exponent, and K_v sums 50 terms of (91/100)^s weighted by cosines involving T, B and v. But the exact coefficients inside the ridge shape term of J_s and the cosine arguments of K_v are too dense to read at the resolution I have.

What I am currently seeing in my attempts: the layering and occlusion work correctly and the fractal texture E renders as expected, but without the exact J_s the mountain silhouettes are wrong. Peaks appear at incorrect positions and the snow and rock boundary does not match your image.

This is purely a personal challenge. I am not doing this for any commercial purpose.

Could you point me to where the full formula is published, or share a higher resolution crop of the equation panel from that post? Even just confirming those two functions would be enough to complete the implementation.

Thank you.

Yusuf

It is an absolute shame that the Christian church in Nigeria has become a platform for thieves, criminals and heartless wicked politicians.

This message here is long long overdue.

While going to Kogi last week, our driver stopped along with other cars because no car was coming from the opposite direction.
Apparently it’s a sign of danger.

We waited for over 10 minutes before we saw a truck and two cars, that’s how we started moving again.
I wish deth on anyone who supports this government, Nigeria has been totally ruined.

Enugu State Government has now made it compulsory for all their schools to participate in 2027 South East Maths Olympiad.

They are 1260 public schools.

I will be meeting with all their principals today to address them.

This is intentionality and we appreciate the Governor.
