"For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information, or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise. It is therefore that the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others." ~ Benjamin Franklin - 1787

@Femi_OfMainland This is why in addition to sending them back to their maker, we need to tackle those things otherwise we are in for a very long thing. The defeat cannot happen with guns alone no matter the intel the military have

Ignorance is not an excuse under the law.

For those who deliberately share fake, manipulated, or inflammatory content capable of causing public disorder or destabilising the polity, deleting a post and apologising after the fact may not be enough where the law has been breached. Know this.

Freedom of expression is not freedom to deceive, incite, or endanger society.

Before you share, verify. Then verify again.

Do not become an unwitting tool in the hands of merchants of falsehood, mischief, and chaos. Every click, repost, and forward carries responsibility.

Nigeria is bigger than the agendas of those who seek to divide, destabilise, or profit from confusion.

@otegaogra @MobilePunch It's concerning that "we" don't seem to understand the significant impact of mis/disinformation on various crises globally in recent years. Innocuous issues across systems have been manipulated and amplified, escalating them to a disproportionate scale.

ISWAP announced through their unofficial media that all routes of "hijrah" meaning migration for foreign fighters to ISWAP are now closed due to "attacks of the American dogs and the apostates of Nigeria", and that the situation is too dangerous.

[EN] Senegal needs a sovereign balance-sheet strategy that restores credibility and preserves national policy space. Debt treatment is one instrument, that we think has become the least-cost path to this objective.

But Dakar should not wait until markets and the IMF dictate the terms. It should initiate a controlled external-debt treatment, explicitly exclude domestic and WAEMU-held local-currency debt, and use that perimeter as a financial-stability principle before any discussion with creditors.

[FR] Le Sénégal a besoin d'une stratégie financière qui rétablisse sa crédibilité et préserve son espace de manœuvre pour les politques publiques. Le traitement de la dette constitue l'un des instruments qui, selon nous, représente désormais la voie la moins coûteuse pour atteindre cet objectif.

Toutefois, Dakar ne devrait pas attendre que les marchés et le FMI lui dictent leurs conditions. Le pays devrait engager un traitement contrôlé de sa dette extérieure, en excluant explicitement la dette libellée en monnaie locale détenue par des créanciers nationaux ou de l'UEMOA, et ériger ce périmètre en principe de stabilité financière avant toute discussion avec ses créanciers.

The Pope rightly warns that AI must serve human dignity, not become a tool of domination or exclusion.

But if we hand governments sweeping power over AI development in the name of safety, how do we prevent it from being used to censor, surveil, and control citizens — as Orwell foretold in 1984?

This is the real alignment problem.

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.” Who will guard the guardians?

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

The oldest questions of human nature and authority don’t disappear in the AI age. They become newly relevant.

Lots of lessons to learn for Nigerian entrepreneurs about limiting beliefs and global ambitions

Introducing Voyager Gateway 1.

Warfighters at the edge need access to mission compute capabilities that are typically constrained to the base. The size, weight and power burden make server racks unrealistic options.

Voyager G1 is the rugged, waterproof device that unlocks mission applications and AI-enabled workflows directly at the front line. It also connects operators as nodes on our Lattice Mesh network. This enables small teams to maintain operations even when networks are jammed, infrastructure is contested, or command posts are out of reach.

Nigeria appreciates this partnership with the United States in advancing our shared security objectives. I extend my sincere gratitude to President Trump for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort.

I commend the personnel involved on both sides for their professionalism and courage, and I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation.

STATEHOUSE STATEMENT

Counterterrorism Operation Against ISIS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki

Overnight, Nigeria and the United States recorded a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.

Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State.

Early assessments confirm the elimination of the wanted IS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin

3.5 million pax in 2025 translates to an avg daily ridership of 9,589 riders/day.

Frequency was increased from 3tph peak in August 2024 to 4tph peak in August 2025.

Whether 9.6k riders/day or 15k riders/day, those numbers are still abysmal for a metro on a busy corridor.
