Just In: Nigeria delisted from the International Maths Olympiad in Shanghai, due consecutive to lack of funding from the FG.
Recall, last year a 15yo Nigerian Whizkid Agbo Adoga scored 1600/1600 in SAT, but couldn’t compete because the Ministry of Education said they were broke.
🚨 Djed Spence breaks silence on why he didn’t greet Thomas Partey:
“I have my beliefs, and I live by them. My faith guides my decisions, and I know what my scriptures teach me. People are free to interpret what happened however they want, but I’m not going to go into detail or explain myself.
To the England fans, if my actions disappointed or upset any of you, I sincerely apologise. That was never my intention. I respect everyone, but I also have to stay true to my convictions.”

Resign & tender your unreserved apology to Nigerians for the millions of lives you destroyed. For the thousands of lives we lost, & for the thousands of people still in captivity. All you brought was pain, poverty & trepidation. THE DAMAGE WILL TAKE 50 YEARS TO REPAIR! 💔

Over 10 top military officers were killed under Tinubu. We watch them slaughtered on live videos.
Meanwhile Tinubu’s Air Fleet received ₦20.3 billion, while our Army’s allocation for operational equipment, which was supposed to receive ₦20.6 billion, received only ₦1.4 billion barely 8% of what it should be.
He’s busy campaigning while school children have spent over 30 days in captivity.

SOWORE BEING SENT TO PRISON: A DANGEROUS REGRESSION FOR OUR DEMOCRACY
I have received, with deep concern, the news of the court’s remand of citizen activist Omoyele Sowore in Kuje Prison.
While the judiciary remains the ultimate arbiter of justice, we must consistently guard against any trend that gives the appearance of state institutions being weaponised to systematically stifle dissent, muzzle the press, or shrink the legitimate space for civic engagement in Nigeria.
A thriving democracy does not survive on the silencing of opposing voices; rather, it is anchored on the robust protection of fundamental human rights, most notably the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly, as enshrined in our Constitution. Moreover, our society is already strained by insecurity and biting economic hardship; therefore, deliberate steps should be taken, even by the courts, to avoid inflaming the situation.
When we begin to treat citizen critics, activists, and journalists as threats to state survival rather than as partners in building accountability, we signal a dangerous slide toward authoritarianism. Our current challenges, ranging from economic strain to internal security vulnerabilities, require inclusive dialogue and cohesive nation-building, not the incarceration of those who demand a better society.
I urge the relevant authorities to ensure that the rule of law is strictly adhered to, that Mr. Sowore’s constitutional rights are fully protected, and that our security and judicial institutions are used solely for the impartial administration of justice. We cannot build a New Nigeria if we continue to undermine the very democratic structures meant to protect us all. -PO
