Tragic News 💔
DNA test results have confirmed that the unidentified body deposited at an Ikorodu mortuäry was that of Pelumi Onifade.
- In 2020, Nigerian youths took to the streets during the #EndSARS protests. One of the reporters covering the event was Onifade Emmanuel Pelumi.
- On October 24, 2020, Pelumi was arrested and taken away by police officers in Agege despite explaining that he was a reporter. He was also wearing a jacket identifying him as a member of the press.
- A few days later, an unidentified body was discovered at a môrtuary in Ikorodu, Lagos, and it was speculated that the body belonged to Pelumi Onifade.
- In July 2024, the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the Lagos State Government to conduct a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of Pelumi’s death and identify those responsible.
- The court also ordered the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) to perform a post-mortem examination on the unidentified body received from Ikorodu.
- LASUTH stated that Pelumi’s body could not initially be identified because DNA samples held at the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre were dëstroyed during the October 2020 #EndSARS unrest.
- After prolonged back-and-forth between the hospital and the court, a DNA test was eventually conducted using a sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- The magistrate revealed that the report confirmed a DNA match between the previously unidentified body and the sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- This development brings a painful confirmation for Pelumi’s family and loved ones, who have endured years of uncertainty while seeking answers and closure.
- Their counsel is now calling for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of Pelumi’s de@th.
- The case has been adjourned until July 7, 2026.
May the soul of the departed rest in peace. 💔
Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
This is a primary school in Kano state..😢.
The state that recently gave billions of naira for Hajj pilgrimage and another billions of naira for mass weddings.
it's crazy ! 😯
This is now their 40th Day as prisoners and hostages of terrorists. 40 Days of Cold nights, no change of clothes, poor physical care, emotional trauma, abuse and constant fear! Ah!!😭😭😭. God!!!!
This is soul sinking!!! 40 DAYS!!!
Results from the IReV portal showed that Peter Obi got 73,311 votes in Obio/Akpor LGA in the 2023 presidential election, while Tinubu got 17,158 votes.
Between the polling units and LGA collation, that result somehow became 80,239 votes for Tinubu and 3,829 votes for Obi.
Unfortunately, this data came out after the fact.
I am not sure there has been a greater political heist in recent elections.
Opposition candidates must be prepared with the data, technology, and capacity to fight this before collation is concluded at the ward and LGA levels.
This idea of “go to court” after everything has happened is a scam.
It is going to be a long election.
These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.
They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.
These are the names I could copy:

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
Senators in Akpabio's absence issued an Arrest Warrant for Mele Kyari...
Akpabio came into the picture and reversed the warrant, while calling the case of 210 Trillion naira theft from NNPC, a distraction!
Now you know your enemies.
Una see say these people dey mad!
Hire more sanitation workers, No!
buy more garbage trucks, No!
build more landfills and incinerators, No!
But the couldn’t hesitate to jump straight to enforcement!
The waste in my house has been piling up for months, PSP hasn’t come to pick it up and I’ve never missed a payment infact I’ve paid for a full year ahead. I live in Lekki o mind you, if they aren’t coming to pick up the thrash in Lekki for months it’s not far fetched to assume they haven’t picked up the dirt in Abule Egba in years, but sanitation police is the solution the army of halfwits in Alausa can think of!
Fucking idiots!
AN OPEN LETTER TO INEC NIGERIA
Dear @inecnigeria,
We are fully aware of what appears to be a deliberate attempt to prevent citizens from obtaining their PVCs and exercising their constitutional right to vote.
Across several states of the federation, many citizens have complained about the slow pace of voter registration and data capture.
People are spending long hours at registration centres, facing repeated delays, network failures, inadequate equipment and other obstacles that make it difficult for them to obtain their PVCs and participate in the democratic process.
INEC's constitutional responsibility is to ensure that every eligible Nigerian has a fair opportunity to register and vote. Any action, inaction, delay or inefficiency that prevents citizens from exercising this fundamental right raises serious concerns and undermines public confidence in our electoral system.
We therefore ask:
Why are these delays persisting despite repeated complaints from citizens?
What measures has INEC put in place to ensure that every eligible Nigerian is captured before the registration deadline?
Why are registration centres in many locations unable to efficiently process applicants?
What assurances can INEC give Nigerians that no citizen is being deliberately excluded from participating in the electoral process?
The right to vote is not a privilege, it is a constitutional right. Nigerians will not accept any situation that appears to disenfranchise citizens or discourage participation in the democratic process.
INEC must immediately address these concerns, increase registration capacity where necessary, deploy additional personnel and equipment, and provide transparent explanations to the Nigerian people.
Democracy thrives when citizens participate freely, any obstacle that prevents that participation must be removed without delay.
The Nigerian people are watching and expecting answers.

Dear Nigeria Immigration Service,
I sat for the recruitment examination and scored 92.5/100.
The publicly stated benchmark was 91/100.
Yet when I checked my status, I was told my application was unsuccessful.
Can someone explain how this process works?
