Investigations have uncovered billions of naira funneled toward fake agencies, ghost projects, and religious buildings, which falls outside the federal government's legal mandate. Government departments are reportedly being used to siphon public funds through the procurement of luxury vehicles and irrelevant empowerment schemes while essential infrastructure remains neglected. To assuage the public angst over this, PREMIUM TIMES demands a critical review of this budget to excise its glaring dubious provisions. Otherwise, it would remain an indelible pointer to insensitive and profligate governance, robbing citizens of their taxes, and deepening the perverse culture of public treasury looting. https://t.co/AFwfkNtqhM
.@Tmobile what's going on? One cannot buy data direct, then after buying enormous amount of airtime, one can't convert to data!?
This is unfair. Kindly give me my ₦2500 data and remove it from the airtime. Haba!
.@followlasg@jidesanwoolu This looks like it happened along the secretariat in Alausa. I'm aware that there's a mosque and a church inside the secretariat, and a prominent mosque nearby. Will the Gov allow this to continue? Don't wait until it's too late before action is taken
Once you see them gathering this momentum to block the road and pray, chase them out immediately or your community, towns and villages will be dominated, attacked and destroyed.
No group has the monopoly of violence.
Saw that Okwuluora Kidney failure video in Enugu and I just thought;
1) Beans - Sniper or dangote cement.
2) Palm oil - Red dye + water.
3) Fried Plantain chips - Either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil + nylon to make it shiny and hard.
4) Fufu - Klin i.e detergent to ferment cassava in hours instead of days.
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve it further.
6) Fresh fish - Industrial dye.
7) Unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals.
8) Mango - ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters.
These are but a few, meanwhile, Nigerian yam, beans are banned across parts of Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.
We virtually consume these on daily basis, and result today is unprovoked kidney and liver damage.

BENUE POLICE ARRESTS FIVE PAKISTANIS, RECOVERS 35 MOBILE PHONES
The Benue State Police Command has arrested five Pakistan nationals and recovered thirty-five (35) mobile phones in separate intelligence-led operations conducted in Otukpo and Ugbokolo areas.
A Statement by Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Orchia Peter Aondongu, indicates, that operatives of the Command, acting on credible intelligence, arrested three Pakistanis at Adoka Motor Park, Otukpo Local Government Area.
The suspects, were intercepted while attempting to board a vehicle to Adoka village.
During preliminary questioning, the suspects stated that they were in Otukpo for the purpose of marketing cosmetics and mobile gadgets, none of which were found in their possession.
In a separate operation, two other Pakistanis were arrested at a local hotel in Ugbokolo following credible intelligence received by the Police.
The two suspects claimed to be dealers in Android phones.
A search of their belongings led to the recovery of eleven (11) Tecno Camon 50 Pro mobile phones.
Further investigation and operational follow-up resulted in the recovery of additional twenty-three (23) Tecno Camon 50 Pro phones and one (1) Infinix Hot 60 phone, bringing the total number of recovered mobile phones to thirty-five (35).
The five suspects, who could not speak English fluently, have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Makurdi, where discreet and comprehensive investigations are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding their presence in the State.
It is strongly suspected that the possession of those mobile phones is a decoy for their clandestine activities in the rural areas of the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Benue State Command, Cletus commends the officers involved in the operations and members of the public whose timely information contributed to the arrests and urges residents to remain vigilant.
During my postgraduate days at UNILAG, there was this guy who would always drive to lectures in his 2004 Toyota Corolla. He worked with FAAN.
Whenever exams were approaching, he would always want to borrow my notes and make photocopies because he liked the way I structured it. I had a way of highlighting important points and adding side notes, some of which would later turn out to be likely exam questions.
We had this particular course he had been battling with. At that point, his mindset was simply to write the exam, pass somehow, and probably end up with an E.
So I picked him up. We would have WhatsApp voice calls while going through the course materials together. We did it consistently, and we both ended up with an A.
He would usually tell me that if I ever needed anything, I shouldn't hesitate to let him know and that he would come through for me. Most times, I ignored the offer because I was also doing fine on my own.
About two years after our master's programme, I had a cousin who had graduated for years but was still struggling to secure employment. He had twice gotten a fully funded scholarship in the US and was denied visa twice. He also tried Australia and was denied three times.
He eventually gave Belgium a shot, got admission, and was required to present a blocked account, meaning he needed to show proof of a certain amount of money in a Belgian account. The amount was approaching €13,000.
He had nothing, and his resumption deadline was fast approaching.
He reached out to me. Even though he had never told me about his plans to travel, I decided to do everything I could.
I reached out to two of my friends in the UK, but they couldn't help because they were still trying to establish themselves t ground. I also contacted someone in the US who was on a fully funded scholarship. He told me his monthly stipend wasn't even up to $2,000 and that, after paying rent, he had less than $300 left.
Then something told me to reach out to my old master's classmate from UNILAG.
I narrated the situation to him. He asked me straight up, "How much do you need?"
I told him we needed €14,000 in a Belgian account.
He asked, "Will that be enough?"
The next day, he provided €14,000.
A few weeks later, my cousin's visa was approved. While he was heading to the airport, my same friet also gave him ₦2 million in cash, this time, a gift.
Today, my cousin has emmigrated to the US, happily married to an American woman who is also a scholar like him. They now have two children.
I have also become his go-to person for almost every thing he needs done in Nigeria. When he bought his first home in Maryland, Mende, Lagos, I was the one who went for the inspection, received the funds in my account for a Duplex, and handled the closing deal for him.
There is hardly anything I need today that my cousin wouldn't go the extra mile to do for me.
Life has a funny way of bringing people back into your life.
Sometimes, the person you think you are helping today may become the person who changes your life tomorrow.
Never underestimate the value of being genuinely useful to people.
Be useful. Be kind. Build genuine relationships. You never know when life will bring the same person back to you in a different season.
If Senator Yari of Zamfara can do this to play his part as a Senator representing his people, I belief other Senators also can do this to touch the lives of those they are representing at the Federal Constituency directly and impactfully....
