โโThe continued imprisonment of outspoken politician and Tinubu critic shines a spotlight on โlawfareโ in Nigeria, writes El-Rufaiโs wife. โFor 150 days, Nasir El-Rufai has been detained. Nigeriaโs partners must speak up.โ Nigeriaโs friends must understand that this case is larger than Nasir @elrufai. It is about whether a citizen can fall out with power and still be protected by law. It is about whether courts will be places of justice or theatres of intimidation.โ

No Rolls Royce seized, No G-Wagons, Not a single Plaza, or Big Estate, not even an illegal plot of land tied to his name.
Just an honest man guilty of being in the opposition.
Yes, those photos youโve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

JUST IN: Femi Gbajabiamila reportedly forged a law, used it to collect โฆ54bilion from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), claiming it was an order from Pres. Tinubu. Bayo Onanuga backs him.
He allegedly demanded 4% of NUPRCโs revenue, to be split into two. 2.5% and 1.5%, the latter will be for โupgrading of crude oil and gas metering and transparency systemsโ โ this doesnโt exist in this context. It was his way of illegally collecting the money to himself.
Gbaja assumed office as Chief of Staff in June 2023. The incident occurred in July 2023, just weeks after Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in.
Bayo Onanuga insists the money was not illegal and that it was released under a lawful order from the President. Which is concerning, because the President does not have the legal authority to issue such orders.
Apparently, the Presidential Chief of Staff also reached out to FIRS, NIMASA and Nigerian Customs with similar tactics.

Title: The Burden of a patriot
The Nasiru El-Rufai Support Team (NEST) cordially invite you all to this important event as detailed below.
Troops Repel ISWAP Attack on Cross Kauwa, Recover Camcorder Linked to Foreign Terror Facilitators
By Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Joint Task Force North East, Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), have repelled a coordinated infiltration attempt by suspected ISWAP terrorists on Cross Kauwa in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers and recovering a camcorder containing intelligence materials linking the operation to foreign terrorist facilitators.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the attack occurred at about 10:20 p.m. on Friday, July 11, when scores of terrorists attempted to infiltrate the military position under the cover of darkness.
The sources said troops of the 19 Brigade, Sector 3, detected the advancing insurgents early and responded with coordinated firepower, forcing the terrorists to abandon the assault and retreat after suffering significant losses.
According to the sources, the terrorists had intended to loot cholera-related medical supplies from the community, a development believed to support recent intelligence indicating a cholera outbreak within ISWAP camps around the Lake Chad region.
The sources added that the attempted raid also aligns with previous intelligence reports suggesting that some infected fighters had allegedly been executed by the group in an effort to contain the outbreak.
During exploitation of the battlefield, troops recovered a Sony camcorder, several rounds of PKT and 7.62mm Special ammunition, terrorist uniforms and other combat items.
Military intelligence officers who conducted a preliminary forensic examination of the recovered camera reportedly found operational videos and propaganda materials. The latest recording before the failed attack allegedly showed that the operation was coordinated by four senior ISWAP commanders alongside three foreign terrorist facilitators.
The foreign nationals were identified as a Palestinian Arab known as Abu Ishaq, believed to be the groupโs chief trainer; a Moroccan identified as Abu Thaiba, reportedly serving as a medical doctor within the terrorist network; and another unidentified Arab operative whose identity is still being investigated.
โWhen Chibok happened, it was the fault of President Jonathan. They went all over the world and asked Jonathan to bring back the children. But when this happened, noโit is the irresponsibility of the state governor and the state government.โ โ Seyi Makinde
