Meet Zidane
Zidane was sentenced to death by hanging yesterday 1st May 2026

Whats his crime?

Back in 2019 El-Rufai government arrested this guy and moved him y prison.

Zidane organized his community boys to stand against the bandits invading their community and kpaing their people. They were so active that the bandit's many attempts were fruitless. At some point they recorded high success of neutralizing the terrorists.

Then the terrorists went and reported him to the then El-Rufai government that he is fíghtíng them and he was arrested.

Since then his community has been left vulnerable and many invasion has happened.

And guess what? None of the bandits kpaing their people overtime has been apprehended and sentenced. But Zidane was sentenced to death by hanging yesterday by the new government of Kaduna state. Ànd, everywhere is quiet like nothing is happening.

What exactly is our crime?

Why are you silenting the bold voices

What's zidane crime?

Our security system failed us.

We decide to protect ourselves yet yh Judiciary comes for us.

Bandits are pardoned, rehabilitated, reintegrated into the society after kpai thousands of people.

But young men who stands up to protect themselves against these bandits either get executed or jailed.

[Deacon Richard @CatholicDeacon]

I prayed for over a year.

Not loudly.

Not dramatically.

Quietly.

As a Catholic father, I watched my son date someone who did not believe in God.

I loved him.

I supported him.

But inside, I was struggling.

I had raised my children in the faith, and I wondered if I had failed.

So I did what Catholic parents have done for centuries.

I prayed.

I offered Mass.

I asked Our Lady every day to guide my son and bring someone into his life who would share his faith.

Last year, that relationship ended.

It hurt him.

And it hurt me to see him sad.

But I trusted that God was working.

Then he met a young Filipino woman on campus.

She had been away from the Catholic faith for many years.

Then she started going to Mass with him.

Then she joined our family Rosary on Sunday evenings.

She had never prayed the Rosary before.

Tomorrow, she receives Confirmation.

My oldest son will be her sponsor.

And she will receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ.

This is what grace does.

It moves quietly.

It works through prayer.

It heals what we cannot control.

Parents, keep praying.

Our Lady is listening. 🌹

P.N Okeke is one of my biggest inspiration.

It’s sad that he hasn’t been given the highest national honour.

I will donate his complete books set to every secondary school in the South East to keep in their libraries so students can study his work.

He is a genius!

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

Troubling Developments from the citadel of learning.

The reason Universities are regarded as an ivory tower is because its seen as centres for pure, isolated intellectual thought. It's therefore worrisome when they are increasingly pressured to operate outside this norm.

Today, I was scheduled to be at Obafemi Awolowo University at 9am prompt to deliver a keynote lecture, before proceeding to Ibadan for the opposition parties' political summit scheduled to commence at 12noon. The invitation was extended to me several months ago, and adequate preparations had been made. Regrettably, I received the news that the event would no longer be held in the University as planned.

While such occurrences may be dismissed in isolation, it is important to state clearly that this has now happened more than ten times. This is no longer incidental; it points to a troubling pattern that should concern all well-meaning Nigerians. My alma mater, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka was not excluded. The family of one of the renowned UNN Vice Chancellor late Professor Frank Ndili had planned an annual lecture on his behalf and the inaugural lecture was to be delivered, but on the scheduled date it was cancelled by the University authority.

These are not merely personal inconveniences; they raise deeper questions about the kind of environment we are nurturing in our country. Universities are meant to be centres of learning, open dialogue, and the free exchange of ideas. When platforms for constructive engagement are repeatedly constrained, it reflects a worrying shift away from these ideals.

This concern becomes even more pronounced when viewed against my engagements across the world, where I have been privileged to speak and interact freely with students and scholars in respected institutions. In the past 24 months, I have delivered lectures in notable universities globally including Oxford University, Cambridge University, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Chicago University, University of Pennsylvania, Imperial College, to name a few. Those environments continue to demonstrate openness to dialogue, critical thinking, and shared learning, values that should equally define our own institutions.

We must ask ourselves: what kind of nation are we building if spaces meant for intellectual engagement are gradually shrinking? A country’s progress is anchored on its ability to encourage knowledge, debate, and the contest of ideas, not restrict them.

Nigeria must work towards becoming a place where ideas thrive, where knowledge is shared without fear, and where our institutions uphold the principles they were established to protect.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@RealJustJason Welcome home 💙

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Nigeria will argue about politics for 12 hours straight on TV, but nobody wants to talk about the quiet massacre happening in our hospitals.

In the past few days I have heard horrifying stories about healthcare facilities in Enugu State.

Hospitals with no light.
No oxygen.
No reagents.
Barely any doctors.
Wrong diagnosis due to bad or outdated equipments.

Imagine bringing a loved one to a hospital hoping to save their life… only to discover the hospital itself is helpless.

How many people have died simply because the system failed them?

How many families buried someone who could have lived if the hospital had basic equipment?

Joy Ezeugwu’s revelations about Uwani General Hospital in Enugu opened a window into something many people already knew but were too tired to speak about.

Yes, they say the light has now been fixed.
Yes, they say the hospital management has been fired.

But let’s be honest.

Fixing one light is not fixing the system.

Across many state health facilities especially in remote villages and poorer neighborhoods, the situation is reportedly worse.

No reagents for tests.
Broken equipment.
Understaffed wards.
Buildings that look abandoned.

These are supposed to be life-saving institutions, yet many of them look like places where hope goes to die.

Healthcare should never depend on whether you are rich enough to go to a private hospital.

The poor deserve to live too.

The truth is simple:

A society that cannot provide basic healthcare for its people is sitting on a moral failure.

This is not about politics.
This is about human lives.

The Commissioner for Health in Enugu State and the entire health leadership need to urgently conduct a full public audit of all state hospitals especially the ones hidden in rural areas.

Let Nigerians see the truth.

Because if the stories we are hearing are even half true, then what is happening in some of these hospitals is nothing short of a national emergency.

We cannot keep losing people to problems that should not exist in 2026.

Healthcare cannot be a privilege.

It must be a guarantee.

And the lives of the poor must matter.

1. My people, good evening. I hope you have had some rest. Omoo I slept as though I carried 50 bags of cement from a Dangote trailer. Holy week sweet, make I no lie. Catholic church sweet.

2. One of the most annoying nights in my life is the World Cup Final match between Argentina and France. I really wanted France to win. Mtcheew. The Holy Week is the grand finale of the Christian calendar.

3. Let us do a breakdown of what actually goes on during the days of the Holy Week. You've attended mass today na, you don collect your palm 🌴 go house.

4. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday or Holy Week are like international breaks in football. No action. Wednesday of Holy week has a funny nickname. It is called Spy Wednesday because it’s traditionally the day Judas Iscariot agreed to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Men are what again?

5. Ehen, lest I forget, there's this mass they call Chrism Mass. It usually happens on the morning of Holy Thursday. But, because many priests have to travel long distances from their own parishes to the central Cathedral, some dioceses move it to earlier in the week, often Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, so that the priests won't get accident while trying to rush back home, or get fatigued or begin their evening programs late.

6. You're enjoying this gist abi. Let us stop here small. We'll continue this gist in the next post. Retweet for others to partake.

Many on this street trivialised the damage tribal hatred can create!

When Dr. Chinelo Megafu, was shot during Abuja-Kaduna train attack, and she pleaded for help the woman who masterminded the bigotry attacks against her is a 60+ grandma.

Chinelo was hounded by Iyabo & her bingos, while dying of a gunshot wound.

We remember her today... continue to rest in peace!

We are about to design a new model of Igbo Apprenticeship Education “Igba boy”.

We will run the pilot program this year.

We are starting with carpentry, tilling, plumbing and electrical.

When succeeds, we will produce highly skilled talents at a scale never have seen before.

[Dee Macé @frmarcellinus]

My Catholic people, I am very happy that you all represented well in Church. My body just dey sweet me. I love all the photos and videos I've seen so far. Some of you carried an entire palm branch, one of you almost collected an entire palm tree 😂. Many of you in the Northern part of the country, someone said your palms were shy 😂😂.

About the palms: Please keep them well, you hear. Keep them in your rooms. They have been blessed. I trust you. And you know how we do it: before Ash Wednesday next year, we'll be asked to bring all our palms (which must have become dried up already) to the church to be burnt for their ashes.
That is where we get the Ash for ash Wednesday. You see how beautiful the church is.

If repeated scan said she was carrying a twin, then there’s a high probability she gave birth to a twin.
She should ask questions especially if she was sedated while giving birth…
