You Can Ins¥lt And verbally Att@ck me And Still Go To sleep peacefully. I won’t punish you for expressing your views — Pres. Tinubu assures Nigerians
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday assured Nigerians that they can criticise, ins¥lt or verbally att@ck him without facing consequences from his administration.
Tinubu also told Nigerians who speak against him or att@ck his government that they can sleep peacefully at night despite their criticisms and att@cks, stressing that his administration would not punish them for expressing their views.
The President, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, made the remarks in Abuja while speaking at the 100th anniversary celebration of the Daily Times of Nigeria Limited.
He said the administration’s willingness to tolerate criticism is a central part of its Renewed Hope Agenda, as well as its commitment to protecting and promoting press freedom.
“Let us admit that under this government, you can ins¥lt and att@ck the President and still go to bed without midnight troubles. This philosophy lies at the heart of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The task of national renewal requires the courage to understand where we have come from and confront what we have laid back and made difficult, necessary choices, but where we must go,” he said.

Nigerian innovator applies artificial intelligence to give visually impaired people a new way of experiencing their surroundings! 🤖👓
Khalifa Aminu, based in Kano State and known online as inventorkhalifa, has developed AI-driven smart glasses that enable blind individuals to navigate more securely and with greater independence.
In contrast to standard smart eyewear, the system combines artificial intelligence, sensors and GPS to recognise obstacles, identify objects and help wearers interpret their environment.
The glasses also monitor the user’s position. Should the wearer become disoriented, the device can automatically share their location with a designated caregiver via WhatsApp or email.
Khalifa is currently expanding the technology by incorporating advanced AI and voice features, so that the glasses can communicate spoken, real-time descriptions of what is happening around the user.
I Don’t Know Anything About Marriage— Broadcaster Frank Edoho Declines to Give Peller and Jarvis Marital Advice
Broadcaster Frank Edoho who was previously married twice has declined to offer marriage advice to content creator Peller and his wife, Jarvis, during their wedding ceremony.
Speaking at the couple’s wedding, Edoho jokingly questioned why people expected him to advise the newlyweds when, according to him, he “doesn’t know anything about marriage.”
He said he would rather share his wishes with the couple than offer advice.
“I’m not going to give any advice, but what I’m going to give are my wishes instead,” Edoho said.
He went on to wish Peller “the happiest of life,” alongside “the best of blessings” and “the utmost of peace,” before concluding, “That’s it.”
Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger Reject Tinubu’s Claim That Sahel Terrorism Is Fuelling Nigeria’s Security Crisis
The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) — Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger — has sharply rejected Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s remarks linking Sahel insecurity to Nigeria’s security challenges.
On 30 July 2026, while receiving traditional rulers including the Olubadan of Ibadan at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, President Tinubu said problems in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger were “adding more fuel” to Nigeria’s insecurity. He noted that some terrorists in recent attacks and abductions (including the Oriire schoolchildren incident) were non-Nigerians and that the security collapse in those countries was worsening Nigeria’s difficulties. He used the comments to push for enhanced forest guards and state police.
In response, Burkina Faso’s Foreign Minister Karamoko Jean Marie Traoré summoned Nigeria’s Chargé d’Affaires in Ouagadougou on the evening of 6 August 2026. Diplomatic representatives of Mali and Niger also attended, underscoring the joint AES position.
Speaking for the three countries, Traoré expressed “profound regret” over Tinubu’s statements. He described the analysis as “rapid, very simplistic and surprising,” arguing it failed to acknowledge the heavy sacrifices by the defence and security forces and populations of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger in fighting armed terrorist groups.
The AES ministers stressed that the three countries and Nigeria face the same enemy. They said AES military successes benefit the wider sub-region, including Nigeria, by limiting terrorist groups’ mobility and operational capacity. Framing the crisis as largely the fault of neighbouring states risks misunderstanding and frustration among peoples bound by history, geography and fraternity.
The Nigerian diplomat took note of the message.
The exchange highlights ongoing diplomatic friction between Nigeria and the AES countries, which withdrew from ECOWAS and have pursued an independent security and foreign-policy path. Cross-border terrorism, banditry and jihadist activity remain major shared challenges across the Sahel and northern Nigeria.
Developments are being closely watched as both sides confront the same violent extremist threat.
