This year's Hajj seems to be Nigeria 's finest outing in recent times -everything seems seamless. See highlights from the arrival of the 1st set of Nigerian Pilgrims from Kogi State into Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport. @nigeriahajjcom@KashimSM
El-Rufai and Ribadu: Caught in the Web of Time
Friendship can change when ambition grows.
Nasir El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu were once close allies with shared dreams and political visions. Today, they are seen on different paths, possibly driven by similar ambitions for Nigeria’s highest office. Their story reflects how power can quietly create distance between even strong friends.
History shows similar patterns, from Mamman Vatsa and Ibrahim Babangida to Yahaya Bello and Edward Onoja, where shared journeys later became divided by ambition and political reality.
Power tests loyalty. It turns “our vision” into “my turn.”
In the end, losing power is painful, but losing a friend can hurt even more.

Journalism is not activism - the two can't go in the same realm.
Journalists give hope even in the face of grim realities.
Next time you are on air, discard your emotions, leave out your biases & act like the referee in a football match- detached and impartial.
Frankly musing
There is this trend I noticed with our 'On Air Personalities '- a sustained kind of anger when discussing issues. In journalism, you collapse your emotions when addressing issues - you infer, you don't judge; you set the tone,you don't conclude.
@NOIweala@haruspicee That's my man @haruspicee- when he write, no good writer or reader can resist the urge to read. Each line crafted with creativity.
No lie, @NOIweala is an embodiment of wisdom and brilliance that radiate across borders and oceans.
Education is a big flex regardless of the sex.
Outstanding piece, @haruspicee.
@NOIweala’s story inspires countless girls in Northern Nigeria to rise beyond barriers and rewrite the narrative. Thank you for sharing

I do not normally share articles saying nice things about me, that is not my style, but this one is different. This beautifully written piece by Abdullahi O. Haruna @haruspicee articulates the case for girl child education in Northern Nigeria. Please read it!
.@JNdace addresses the decline of traditional media and urges journalists to adapt, stay proactive, and uphold professionalism.
He emphasises that seriousness and credibility are key to gaining respect, while traditional media remains vital for delivering accurate, contextual information.
Yet, society often underrates this intellectual labour forgetting that the barracks, in its own right, is a university of character, precision, and lifelong learning.
Congratulations to Gen Waidi Shaibu - your resumé screams intellect.
Impressively musing #COAS
Beyond the walls of academia, it is difficult to find a group more rigorously schooled than the military. These men and women spend nearly their entire careers shuttling from one course to another, mastering strategy, discipline, and leadership.
It deeply saddens me to witness how Nigerians tend to celebrate merely because someone from their own tribal group assumes a position of power or influence, rather than celebrating merit and capability. Sadly musing with @Omojuwa@lollylarry1
Unfortunately, in this country, we are losing a significant amount of potential and progress due to our unnecessary glorification and romanticization of tribal identity and affiliations.
