“You’ll be the richer than Dangote if you can build a delivery service that picks up something in Lagos and gets it to Port Harcourt in less than 24 hours — or from Lagos to any state in Nigeria.”

ALHAMDULILLAH! I have just been declared the winner of the ADC Gubernatorial Primary Election for Kaduna State.
My deepest thanks to the National, State, and Ward leadership of ADC, our committed grassroots supporters.
Together, we will deliver purposeful leadership Insha Allah!
I would recommend the Maxi Tower Fan. I’m currently using the black one and, trust me, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made.
If you don’t want to turn on the AC or you don’t own one, this fan gives you almost everything an AC does. It cools like an AC. The price should be around 75k-80k.
Travelling through Lagos and Ibadan, you’ll see heavy police presence everywhere. But travelling from Kano to Abuja despite the North facing more insecurity challenges you sometimes see fewer armed officers. Why is it so?
Chinese cars are helping Nigerians access more affordable vehicles, but they’re also putting pressure on local manufacturers like Innoson and Nord.I see Chinese cars taking over Nigeria in few years to come. Nigeria must push for local assembly and partnership with the Chinese
Nigeria doesn’t just need more money , it needs better systems. Every ministry and parastatal spending should be digitally tracked, publicly visible, and independently audited in real time. Transparency kills corruption faster than speeches. Accountability must become automatic.
EFCC Arrests Fleeing Ex-Power Minister, Saleh Mamman in Kaduna
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested a fleeing former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, in Rigasa area of Kaduna State.
Mamman was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday, May 19, 2026 following weeks of intensive surveillance and intelligence gathering by operatives of the Commission.
Addressing journalists on the arrest, Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed that the former minister went underground after he was convicted by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on corruption charges.
“On May 7, 2026, Justice James Omotosho found Mamman guilty on all 12 counts bordering on diversion of funds meant for the Zungeru and Mambilla hydroelectric power projects. The court convicted him in absentia after agreeing with the Commission that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt,” he said.
“For us, getting the convict to serve his jail terms is extremely important in view of the seriousness with which we are tackling corrupt practices. It is this resolve that made us deploy intelligence to tracking and arresting the convict. We will process his transmission to the Correctional Centre accordingly”, he said.
Justice Omotosho had, in his judgment, held that the EFCC successfully established that Mamman and his associates diverted not less than N22 billion meant for the execution of critical power projects. The court further held that the defence failed to present credible evidence capable of discrediting the prosecution’s case.
The judge condemned the diversion of public funds earmarked for the Zungeru and Mambilla hydroelectric projects, describing the act as a gross abuse of public trust. He also noted that the convict deployed proxy companies and associates to siphon and benefit from funds meant for critical national infrastructure.
Mamman, who served as Minister of Power between 2019 and 2021 under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, supervised Nigeria’s power sector and major hydroelectric projects, including the Mambilla and Zungeru power projects.
Following his conviction, the court ordered that he be arrested and produced before it on May 13, 2026, for sentencing. However, the convict failed to appear in court on the scheduled date, prompting the court to proceed with sentencing in his absence.
Justice Omotosho subsequently sentenced Mamman to seven years imprisonment each on Counts 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 without an option of fine. He was also sentenced to three years imprisonment on Count 4 with an option of N10 million fine and two years imprisonment on Count 5 without an option of fine.
The court further ordered that the sentences run consecutively, bringing the total jail term to 75 years.
Apart from the conviction, Mamman is also facing another corruption trial before the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, over alleged N31 billion fraud.
On May 11, 2026, Justice Maryanne Anenih issued a bench warrant for his arrest following his failure to appear for proceedings in the matter involving him and seven others
If Dangote launched an airline, it could shake up giants in the industry, cut fares, boost reliability, expand across Africa, and leverage cheaper jet fuel from Dangote Refinery. But aviation is still a tough, high-risk game.
Our 65-inch Hisense TV had a small dot on the screen that appeared out of nowhere. It went blank the following month. I took it to Fouani, and they said the screen was burnt and a new one would cost 650k. I took it home and put it aside. 650k will buy another TV.
I opened two UBA domiciliary (FCY) accounts - one for me and another for my wife. When we visited home recently, we withdrew all the money and closed both accounts.
You’re free to join or endorse any party but once you endorse a questionable candidate, I withdraw my affiliation.
@smoki_2na Yes. Right from time, IRS and Sons was a family business, which Isiaka Rabiu, the founder of BUA, was a part of. It's like a family thing. Family in business is very important. May Almighty Allah accept our prayers.
Nepotism in private business? That's a legitimate way to train the next generation to take over. Families play important roles in business. Dangote's daughters hold strategic positions in Dangote Group. If e reach your turn pack outsider put.
No billboard, no investment summit, no tourism campaign can compete with what people see with their own eyes the moment they land. A dirty airport road tells visitors wrongly that Lagos is chaotic, unserious, and careless with its environment.
The painful part is that this problem is AVOIDABLE. Airport Road should be one of the most protected, most maintained corridors in the state. Illegal dumping should be impossible there. Waste management should be airtight. Monitoring should be constant.
If we want to be taken seriously on the global stage, then the basics must be respected.
You don’t welcome guests through a dirty front door.
The question is simple: If we cannot keep the road that welcomes the world into Lagos clean, what message are we truly sending about who we are?
Keep Lagos State Clean
