"We are not into illegal mining... Niger State Civil Defence Corps don't have the right to shoot at us... We are under 18, and we are not allowed to be taken inside a cell... Heat cannot kill a gold miner..."
Following the deaths of miners in Niger State custody, a witness has called for justice and a full investigation.
I made a website about @PeterObi. It details his entire life, his roots, offices held, source of wealth, documented donations, achievements as a governor, and more.
When they ask you what Peter Obi did as governor, send them https://t.co/MJy4SuUuXH

He said bandits collected guns and ammunition at Senator Buba's house before the Benue Massacre.
He risked his life to capture secret videos, and the same Senator was later sent by President Tinubu to pay condolence visit after the attack.
There is a serious decline in the use of the Igbo language, especially among Millennials and Gen Z.
A language dies when its children stop speaking it.
If we don’t act urgently, we risk raising generations of Igbo children who cannot speak Igbo and eventually pushing the language towards extinction.
We need to make Igbo exciting again.
I remember growing up with Akụkọ Ifo, Mbe stories, proverbs, songs and folklore. They didn’t just teach us the language; they taught us who we were.
We must bring that experience back using technology, animation, games, music and storytelling.
We cannot allow that to happen to Igbo.
What would you suggest we do?
Beyond Football: The Match for a Better Nigeria
This weekend, Europe comes alive again with football. Millions of Nigerian youths will be glued to television screens, streaming matches, debating tactics, celebrating victories, and admiring the organisation, discipline, and excellence that make European football the envy of the world. But here is a question worth asking: Why can’t Nigerian football be just as good?
The answer is not a lack of talent. Nigeria has produced world-class footballers who have excelled in Europe because they found systems that reward merit, invest in infrastructure, ensure security, and are governed with competence and accountability. Great football does not exist in isolation. It grows where there is good governance.
The stadiums, academies, transport systems, healthcare, security, electricity, and institutions that support football are products of leaders who make the right choices and citizens who insist on accountability. Nigeria has the talent. What we have lacked is leadership that creates an enabling environment for that talent to flourish.
As I have decided, in the next 150 days, to engage Nigerian youths wherever they gather—in town halls, campuses, online spaces, and even football communities—my message is simple: The future you admire in Europe can be built in Nigeria. But it starts with your vote.
Imagine a Nigeria where our local league is competitive, our stadiums are full every weekend, our clubs attract sponsorship, our coaches receive proper training, and young footballers no longer see emigration as their only path to success.
Nigeria will not emerge through wishful thinking. It will emerge when young Nigerians decide that elections matter as much as football matches. Every goal scored in Europe is a reminder that excellence is possible. Every well-managed league is proof that systems work when honest leadership is in place.
The 2027 presidential election is therefore more than a political contest. It is an opportunity for Nigerian youths to choose the kind of country they want—a nation that exports talent because it is respected, not because its citizens are escaping failed governance.
Cheer for Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter, AC Milan, or any club you support. Enjoy every match. But when the final whistle blows, remember that the greatest match awaiting Nigerian youths is not in Europe. It is in Nigeria.
It is the match for good governance. It is the match for jobs, security, education, sports development, and national renewal. And unlike football, where only twenty-two players are on the pitch, every Nigerian youth has a place in this match.
Stand up. Mobilise. Vote. Defend your vote.
If Nigerian youths can passionately follow European football every weekend, they can also passionately build a Nigeria where our own football—and our nation—becomes a source of pride.
The journey towards better Nigerian football begins with the path to good governance. And the path to good governance begins with the decision of Nigerian youths to stand up and be counted in 2027.
Every weekend, starting today, I will come to you with a reminder of January 16, 2027, and our future. We can create world-class standards right here at home.
It’s in your hands, and that new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
My brother Alex, I was shocked when people started tagging me to this, and I saw that you had registered the organization without even asking me whether I would still like to be part of it or not.
You and I know how this organization started before you brought the name suggestions, and your friends in the group know too. I am bewildered that you would literally register an organization whose concept I started and which you later joined me in building, without even asking whether I would like to remain involved.
It is disappointing because I suffered a small setback, and suddenly it feels like I am of no importance to an organization that was literally my concept. I guess the people you have added now bring more value, but let’s not forget that I funded the inception 100% and was also publicly asking people for donations and support.
It is not like I have any interest in fighting over the organization or claiming anything. I just think basic respect and acknowledgment would have required you to speak to me before taking such a major step.
I am genuinely disappointed by how Igbo people behave amongst themselves and how this was handled has shown once again that we truly are what people say we are.
My best wishes.
Gaius Chibueze!
MAIGA (MAKE ALA IGBO GREAT AGAIN)
The EFCC was originally set up, commissioned, and rushed into law in 2003 on the direct request and intense diplomatic pressure of the United States government.
The G7 nations and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) had already officially blacklisted Nigeria as a non-cooperative state in 2001, and Western powers were aggressively preparing to tighten the financial screws, block international bank transfers, freeze Nigerian accounts, and isolate our banking sector should an anti-money laundering agency not be established immediately to protect Western financial interests.
The very first sets of EFCC officers, forensic auditors, and field agents were directly trained by American intelligence agencies, including the CIA, the FBI, the US Secret Service, and the US Department of Justice. The British government similarly dispatched intelligence operatives to train these agents, and Western intelligence was actively, deeply involved in writing the core operational doctrines, investigative protocols, and legal frameworks of the EFCC.
Even to this very day, American and European intelligence agencies continue to provide specialized training, advanced surveillance technology, forensic software, and joint capacity-building programs to the EFCC on a continuous basis.
The EFCC continues to maintain direct, operational, and daily linkages with the FBI and Western intelligence agencies to this very day. This is precisely why the agency mysteriously possesses almost infinite financial resources, high-tech tracking equipment, and lightning-fast speed whenever it comes to hunting down local "Yahoo boys" targeting Western citizens, or selectively harassing opposition political candidates in Nigeria.
Yet, the exact same agency suddenly becomes completely paralyzed, infinitely slow, legally toothless, and pathetically powerless whenever it comes to investigating corporate tax evasion, oil bunkering, illegal mining, and the systemic looting of local public funds that starves Nigerian schools and hospitals.
Nobody is making the simplistic and lazy argument that 100% of our current economic predicaments, security collapses, and political decay in Nigeria should be attributed exclusively to the CIA or foreign corporations. But aggressively trying to over-localize our structural problems, blaming only local corruption, and completely dismissing documented foreign interference and external intelligence control is profoundly, criminally misleading.
Are you being serious now??? You're really out here suggesting Arsenal should offload two Brazilian players just to fund Vini Jr.'s wages? That's not squad planning; that's fan fiction with a calculator.
Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli aren't just deadweight you throw out to make room; they're key parts of the system. And Vini isn't leaving Madrid to join a project that's still trying to prove itself.
