@OgaHans I admire your consistency in promoting your ideology behind starting a business but I think you also need to understand that entrepreneurship/ owning a business isn’t for everybody, and not everyone can handle the constant pressure. And That’s fine.

The Nigerian Independent National Electoral Commission (@inecnigeria) has withdrawn recognition of the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (@ADCNig) and suspended all official engagement with the party pending ongoing litigation. This action has effectively frozen Nigeria's main opposition political party at a critical moment as it prepares to compete in the upcoming Nigerian presidential election, raising serious concerns about the opposition's ability to organize and participate fully in the democratic process.
At a time when Nigerians expect free, fair, and credible elections, any development that disrupts political participation, creates institutional uncertainty, or undermines the perceived independence of electoral bodies must be addressed with urgency and transparency. #Nigeria is not only Africa’s largest democracy, but also a critical strategic partner of the United States in regional security, economic stability, and counterterrorism. The integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process is therefore of direct importance to U.S. interests and global stability.
Accordingly, the firm will be presenting its concerns to members of the United States Congress and the @realDonaldTrump Administration to ensure that the importance of free, fair, and transparent democratic processes in Nigeria remains firmly on the international agenda. We call on H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT) to ensure that the conduct and outcome of the upcoming elections are beyond reproach, free from doubt, and fully reflective of the will of the Nigerian people.

Dear @MTNNG
I am writing to formally report a serious issue regarding my former MTN number: 08106650239.
I relocated to the UK approximately three years ago and, while the number was not used for regular calls, it remained active on WhatsApp for communication with family
I know things look discouraging right now ahead of the next year’s 🇳🇬 election but giving in to defeatism only guarantees nothing changes. I agree hope isn’t enough and we still need participation and pressure on institutions, but disengagement only strengthens the status quo and we cannot afford to be disengaged because #they are the only ones who benefit from it.
If anything, this is exactly when our attention and involvement matter the most. It won’t be easy but the cost of inaction is far higher than the cost of effort. No system improves without collective pressure. Stay hopeful.
@OBA_PRENEUR What’s the value proposition for the franchise?
Is brand equitable?
They want to open their own African shop/store because they think it’s just their money and goods they will still be the one do the marketing to sell their products, the brand name might not be enough.
Identifying with the People Peacefully for Electoral Integrity
Yesterday, February 9th, I participated in a peaceful protest at the National Assembly to demand urgent electoral reforms that truly reflect the will of the Nigerian people.
Our demands were clear and non-negotiable: anyone seeking to hold titles such as Honourable, Distinguished, or Excellency must emerge through a transparent and honourable process. Aspirants for public office should provide verifiable records of their primary, secondary, and tertiary education, along with fulfilling other constitutional requirements such as age and qualifications. No one should aspire to lead without having gone through due process.
Beyond eligibility, candidates must engage in open campaigns, public scrutiny, and debates as mandated by law. Most importantly, election results must be transmitted electronically and in real time to protect the people's mandate and eliminate manipulation.
Claims that certain states lack network coverage are no longer acceptable. Financial institutions operate nationwide through secure digital networks to conduct transactions and collect taxes on a daily basis. If banking systems function seamlessly, our electoral system can and should do the same.
Nigeria must stop being a so-called Giant of Africa that disgraces the continent and instead become a beacon of exemplary governance, beginning with credible elections.
We owe the younger generation a nation built on order, justice, and trust—not one mired in chaos and impunity. As the agitation continues, I urge our youth, who turned out in large numbers, to remain steadfast and not relent until the necessary reforms are achieved.
I remain firmly committed to the vision of a New Nigeria—one that is not only possible, but inevitable if we stand and act together. -PO
NIGERIANS ARE WE READY TO LIBERATE OURSELVES?
WE MUST OCCUPY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND ENSURE @SenGodswill and His Gang Do the Right Thing❗️
MANDATORY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF RESULTS 📌 🎤🇳🇬
OUR VOTES MUST COUNT❗️
#OccupyNass#ElectoralReform
Those who make peaceful change difficult make violent change inevitable. Nigeria’s senate seems to have drawn the battle lines in their war against the people with vote on transmission of election results. It is clear they are inviting the Nigerian people to the barricades
Every time this MP speaks on healthcare, it’s the same pattern- blame immigrants!
So let’s start with the basics.
1. No foreign nurse “barely speaking English” can work in the NHS. To even begin the process, you must pass IELTS/OET with some of the highest language standards in the world, sit the UK’s own CBT exam, verify your licence from your home country, and still pass the OSCE after arrival.
These are your rules and we meet them.
If after all that you still think immigrants “can’t speak English,” then the issue is not competence, it’s the bias in your mind.
Raise the requirement to IELTS 8.5 if you like; people will still meet it, and you still won’t consider them “good enough” because the problem is not the score, it’s your perception.
2. You called foreign staff “potentially unqualified and incapable.” Based on what?
Where is the data?
Immigrants make up a massive percentage of the NHS workforce. If we were “incapable,” the outcomes, mortality rates, and safety records would show it but they don’t.
What you have is not a fact, it's just a convenient political narrative.
3. You asked why the UK “relies on foreign labour,” The answer is simple - it is cheap labour.
Every visa category requires a minimum salary of £ 41,000, except for the Health and Care visa, which is set at around £25k.
For a registered professional with people’s lives in their hands, in this economy, that is exploitation, not generosity.
British doctors are striking.
British nurses are leaving.
British student midwives are graduating into unemployment. And instead of addressing poor pay, unsafe staffing, and a system everyone is running away from, you turn immigrants into the scapegoats.
4. You also speak as if UK-trained staff are automatically superior. Let’s be honest. Even the three- or four-year nursing route or UK two-year fast-track nursing programmes, nurse associate routes, and the watered-down training pathways cannot be compared to the depth, rigour, and technical foundation of Nigerian nursing education.
I can only speak for Nigeria because that’s the system I trained in. Five years of university-level nursing science, one year of internship, and one year of national service. Strong anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, community health, and clinical practice. Nigerians go through hell and high water to qualify.
To have someone call such people “unqualified” is absolute nonsense!
And this is exactly why your rhetoric is dangerous. You refuse to acknowledge how much immigrant nurses actually contribute. You refuse to admit the NHS would collapse without them.
You refuse to face the fact that the real problem is your government starving the system of funding, good pay, and proper workforce planning.
Instead, you attack the very people keeping your health service alive.
The real issues are unsafe staffing, chronically underfunded hospitals, pay that cannot match the cost of living, outdated workforce planning, and policies that make healthcare unattractive to the very British workers you claim are being pushed aside.
But instead of addressing any of that, you always attack the people who keep the system running.
And yes, honourable MP, calling this out is addressing racism. When you imply an entire group of people is inherently less competent or less capable despite passing the exact standards your own institutions created, that is prejudice.
If you wanted a conversation about improving standards, we could have one. But this generalised, sweeping condemnation of foreign staff is not healthcare reform, it’s political theatre. Stop the theatrics please.
Immigrants didn’t break the NHS.
We are the reason it’s still standing.
@BBCNews@SkyNews kindly help me inform your MP in case he does not see this.
Thank you.
