“Look at this bus transporting catfish. All the catfish have di€d inside the vehicle because of the gridlock.”💔🥲
—Passenger laments over the severe gridlock on the Agbor–Edo expressway, following the bad condition of the road.
@winexviv Oops! My God! May God come through for them.
I taught Emmanuella Chemistry at Welkin College, Ota, in 2023/2024, and I can affirm that she was indeed a bright student. Jason was also one of the top performers in his class.
Please, let's support these young champs' dream. 🙏
I was heartbroken to learn about these students today.
Their dad had both kidneys fail and no one could fund their education. They were forced to drop out of school in December last year.
Their names are Emmanuella Ngaha and Jason Ngaha. They came by themselves from Owerri to Enugu this morning to attend our 2-week intensive bootcamp.
They were both high-flying students at Ambassador College, Ota. The boy was the best in Maths and Chemistry in SS1, and the girl has won so many national awards.
Today they are out of school with no hope of continuing.
They decided to use their last ₦24,000 to take a bus to Enugu to attend the bootcamp.
Unfortunately, this morning they were defrauded of the ₦24,000, which left them with no option but to beg for transport support until someone helped them.
A lot of young, bright children are going through a lot that is beyond their control.
We can’t let these bright stars lose their shine because of challenges beyond their control.
Blackface is not even someone to clown because of singing.
His music sells or doesn’t sell, he still sings.
It’s obvious that he’s just passionate about the craft.
For someone who wrote African Queen, he can sing or write music for as long as he wants to. He has earned that right.
This is a deliberate sabotage of the Eastern Economy corridor (EEC).
Many of you will not understand this tweet.
But the Nigerian state is deliberate in their attempt to strangulate the EEC.
This is the current condition of the Agatu Federal Road, which connects Abuja with Benue, Enugu, and Rivers States.
We have this road yet Tinubu and Dave Umahi plunged N15 trillion into the so-called Lagos-Calabar highway just to enrich Tinubu’s friend, Gilbert Chagoury!✍️
Imo: Nigerian authorities must account for hundreds of unidentified bodies
Amnesty International is deeply concerned by reports alleging that hundreds of unidentified bodies are being moved from mortuaries in Imo State, including Ngor Okpala General Hospital, to unknown destinations. Bodies have also reportedly been seen at Mbieri General Hospital. The authorities must urgently clarify the circumstances surrounding the bodies and their movement.
Horrifying videos obtained by Amnesty International shows stages of moving the dead bodies at night. Majority of the bodies are at skeletal level and in large numbers.
“Imo State Government and relevant authorities must to immediately account for all the bodies, establish their identities and causes of death, and explain when, where and how they came to be in the mortuaries and where they are now being taken. All bodies, mortuary records, medical records and other relevant evidence must be preserved to prevent interference with any investigation,” said Isa Sanusi Director Amnesty International Nigeria.
“Allegations that some of the deceased may have been victims of unlawful killings during security operations in Imo State must be promptly, independently and impartially investigated,” said Isa Sanusi
The authorities must ensure that the bodies are properly identified and subjected to appropriate forensic examinations, including autopsies where necessary, and that families are promptly informed and given information about their relatives.
No body or evidence should be concealed, destroyed, disposed of or otherwise interfered with. Anyone suspected of criminal responsibility for unlawful killings or other human rights violations must be investigated and, where there is sufficient admissible evidence, prosecuted in fair proceedings.
“The families of those who died or disappeared have a right to know what happened to their loved ones. The authorities must act urgently to establish the truth, preserve evidence and ensure justice and accountability.”
Steve Jobs reveals why Japanese companies dominate quality without ever marketing it:
"The group of people that do not use quality in their marketing are the Japanese. You never see them using quality in their marketing"
"It's only the American companies that do. And yet if you ask people on the street which products have the best reputation for quality they will tell you the Japanese products"
"Customers don't form their opinions on quality from marketing. They form their opinions on quality from their own experience with the products or the services"
MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?
