My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
At a private dinner in Paris yesterday evening with His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose bold and forward-thinking reforms have put our economy firmly on a path of sustainable growth.
The results are increasingly evident top Nigerian companies now included on the FTSE Russell Frontier 50 Index, the NGX at historic highs, increased foreign direct investment and renewed economic confidence, a unified and more stable foreign exchange market, foreign reserves standing strong at about $55 billion, and so much more.
I remain proud of you, Mr. President! 🇳🇬

You literally called a sitting president “Half Liver & Half Brain” on national television.
The office of the president wasn’t worth respecting then when it was a man of integrity who was ill that occupied it,
but now that a drug money laundering,
age education and work history falsifying,
certificate forging and convicted criminals honoring,
state capturing criminal lowlife is sitting in the highest seat in the land,
you suddenly remember respect because he has enough money to make your kind change your stand of him being a criminal.
You’re a foundational fool for hire.
Your stomach is your highest court of law.

Apart from the many untruths, outright lies and errors, you forgot to mention that the 8 loans listed were multilateral loans obtained by the Federal Government of Nigeria and on-lent to state governments, including Anambra, for SPECIFIC PROJECTS.
World Bank / IDA / IFAD → Federal Government of Nigeria → Anambra State Government.
2. You were also silent on the ACTUAL disbursement date of some of these loans by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Why is that?
An ex-governor says “I never borrowed” - not like anything is wrong with borrowing - and you bring as ‘receipts’ loans sourced, obtained & disbursed by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?
Another own goal.

Madam Abike is lying @OjyOkpe
She hurriedly sent out the email just this morning after a week of not replying my message after I brought up the matter!
A government official lying is a new low
Tell her to post the time stamp of the email
It arrived by 7.59am
Madam Abike you lied!
*Rufai is not rude, only angry*
There is no right-thinking Nigerian who is not angry at how the country is being run today
In Rufai's shoes, I will do worse. I really don't have the patience to listen to some of these people
Have you listened to the defence of President Tinubu's FBI fiasco as bandied about by some people?
Reno says the files contain only biometrics like fingerprints, etc
These people just think we are all mumu and rabbit-brained, and they will be postulating all this crap with so much arrogance, like we have no right to breathe
What we are facing is bullying at the national scale.
The President, by refusing to tell us truly who he is, is bullying us; all those defending him are bullying us, and u expect Rufai to be smiling and br speaking English like Abati?
The President's son is all over the place, peacocking like he was elected; the wife is sermonising everywhere, and the President's men are also running around like we are all termites
So Reno will sit in front of me and spew such bunkum, and I won't call him out?
Rufai's so-called rudeness is cos of the deeply penetrating questions he asks and his strict demand for answers- na the rudeness be that o
Which school did you attend? What is in the FBI files? Why is Kogi's strongman contesting when he has an EFCC case to answer, and El Rufai is not given the same treatment
That is the rudeness o.
Why are you saying, " Don't release the files if the files are empty
Go and carry all my files and release; all you will see is my school report card where I failed Maths with F9
If I go to court to seek the non-release of the files, what does that say of my character
These APC idiots want us to give Tinubu a different run from the rest of us
There is a former Minister who has been sacked and is in court o on fake certificate allegations, yet our oga still has that cross on his head, and he is commanding and chiefing oo
If Rufai ask them why and demands answers and refuses to take a bull shit, they will say he is rude
Rude my bare ass, rude my left testicles
Is it his rudeness that is creating fake agencies all over the place, or his rudeness that is kidnapping and maiming citizens
God knows if I were Rufai, there is no way I would not wait for that Lere on Awolowo Road and show him rudeness.
What is it? What is all this bullying
We can't get free and fair elections, we don't have jobs, we can't eat, we have no healthcare, and yet youwon't let us rest
You are beating us and telling us not to cry
We will cry, oh. It's our right to cry, and our tears have different outlets, and Rufai is one of them
We will cry until this pestilence leaves us, and don't doubt, we will be free one day
What a country, laggards are in control, and they are lording it over us and creaming off our collective wealth and expect us to fan their ugly buttocks while they fart into our faces
Rubbish.
Come and beat me
*Duke of Shomolu*
*Lere Olayinka - let's go there*
I think this Mr Olayinka is a fool
There is no other word to describe him, what he stands for, and his principals.
Beasts from a Nation that has lost its moral bearing, or how do you describe an irascible person who not only goes on National TV to dance naked but does not stop at that and goes on X to call a 'colleague' a bastard
I had not wanted to jump into this needless wahala after the show of shame on TV, but had called Rufai, who is our National Conscience, to give him my support.
But then I saw something on X purportedly posted by this Lere of a person
' when a woman, after having children with her husband, now goes out to have a child with another man while still in her husband's house...
What is that na. What did Rufai really do to deserve all these insults?
What did he say wrong, pls
I really blame Dr Abati for this and must say that, with all respect, I really was disappointed by him
Rufai calling the PDP Presidential candidate a 'gbewudani' was not libellous or slanderous in any way
It was a description of the scenario PDP now finds itself in, where a strong member is out there proclaiming his support for a candidate of another party
How Dr Abati arrived at the position he arrived at beats my imagination
I think his comments that Rufai would bring lawsuits to the station were him setting Rufai up for the sack, and I am very happy that Rufai stood his ground and shouted him down-I would do worse, cos he was putting poisonous words in Rufai's mouth
As expected, the rabid dog was sent in to 'deal' with RUFAI, and he tried his best
What was Rufai's question to him - why is it that if it is APC things are different but in other parties it's different
Instead of this, half baked individual to answer the question; he jumped into an abusive rant, calling Rufai names
Thankfully, Ayo shut him down and got the bile out of the programme, and he took the fight to X
See, Nigerians see through these things. Instead of answering pointed questions, you rabble-rousers, go into an abusive rant, jump on a high horse and start talking down at us
Go and ask a simple question like: why is baba not wanting the FBI files opened, for example, and you will get the abuse of your life instead of a simple answer, and this is what 'they' all do, even the SANs amongst them
This Lere is the worst of them all. He always shouts he went to journalism school; me, I wonder under which bridge he went to his own Journalism school, cos his own tactics could not have been taught in any sane school, except he too went to the famed Chicago State University
The sooner Nigerians come to a realisation that we are under a siege, the better for us
We are now in George Orwell's Animal Farm where our task masters are getting numbskuls like Lere to be shouting - two legs good, four legs bad.
Rufai must not be cowed, as he remains one of the very few people with weight that is still being true to his conscience
We cannot allow people like Lere to ambush him and railroad him out of the ring; the after-effects of that will be too dire
If this Lere really wants a fight, he should come towards me and let me show him what it truly means to be an agbero. Rubbish
Come and beat me

“Your president is a crook and a forger; I have no regard for him.”
— American media personal tackles a Yoruba man who came to promote Tinubu on his show💔🤯
worst International disgrace!
Senator Shehu Buba of Bauchi South, alongside Fulani terrorist bandit leader named Kachalla Yahaya Mani Bello.
Meanwhile, he has a godfather who says terrorists are their brothers.
A lot is unfolding.
THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE TOO SERIOUS FOR NIGERIA TO ANSWER WITH SILENCE. 💔🇳🇬
For some time now, serious allegations have circulated concerning Senator Shehu Buba Umar and alleged links to banditry. ⚔️
He has denied these allegations, and I have not seen any court judgment establishing his guilt.👊
So let me be very clear:..👌
I am not declaring anybody guilty.🤌
Must social media convict someone before our institutions investigate serious allegations, especially involving a former Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence? 🤔
Nigeria and Africa has lost thousands of lives to terrorism and banditry.😭
Parents have been murdered.😭
Children have become orphans.😢
Entire communities have been displaced.😭🔥😭
People can no longer sleep peacefully in their ancestral homes. 💔
So when allegations involving people occupying sensitive positions in government arise, Nigerians deserve something better than political arguments and social-media videos..🤌
INVESTIGATE.
If the allegations are false, clear the man's name publicly.
If credible evidence exists, let the law take its course, regardless of political party, tribe, religion or position.
This shouldn't be APC versus PDP..✊
It shouldn't be North versus South.✊
It shouldn't be Muslims Vs Christians ✊
The safety of the whistleblower... HASSAN must be guaranteed by our security agencies....The boy must not die....🙏
DEAD NIGERIANS DON'T CARRY PARTY MEMBERSHIP CARDS INTO THEIR GRAVES. 💔
Enough blood...🩸
Enough politics with human lives.😢
NIGERIANS DESERVE THE TRUTH. 🇳🇬✊
THINK. QUESTION. UNITE.
So while speaking on an interview with D English Alhaji, this guy called Hassan explicitly named Senator Shehu Buba Umar, alleging that the Senator accommodates notorious bandit kingpins in his residence, interacts closely with them, and even shares meals with them.
He made several startling allegations against the Senator.
Recall that on September 19, 2024, Governor Bala Mohammed also petitioned authorities over Senator Shehu Buba Umar, alleging that he facilitated and funded the registration of a suspected bandit mastermind, Abubakar Idris, alongside Zainab Aliyu Gado, for the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
The Governor also alleged that the Senator was linked to the distribution of motorcycles to bandits and the facilitation of medical treatment for wounded terrorist fighters.
You know the funniest part?
At the time, this same Senator was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence.
It took public backlash before the Senate reshuffled the committee and removed him from that position.
Since then, I do not think Nigerians have seen any thorough investigation that publicly addressed those allegations.
Now his name has surfaced again through another set of accusations.
Now his name has surfaced again through another set of accusations.
And do you know the interesting thing?
Many people will not be surprised if nothing substantial comes out of this one too.
Why?
Because politics has a way of making sensitive issues move to the background during election seasons.
The last thing that may still surprise you is that Senator Shehu Buba Umar is also contesting the Bauchi governorship race under the PRP.
Lol.
I am Ekene Aninze, Esq.
THIS SHEHU BUBA STORY SHOULD TERRIFY NIGERIANS
A young man reportedly fled Nigeria after raising allegations linking Senator Shehu Buba to terrorism.
Now comes the explosive claim: the senator allegedly sent his PA after him into Niger Republic — only for Nigerien authorities to arrest the PA.
The whistleblower was reportedly detained too, presented his evidence, and was released.
If these reports are true, forget politics for a moment: what exactly is going on?
A Nigerian senator. Terrorism allegations. A critic fleeing across the border. An alleged attempt to track him down in another country.
And Nigeria is supposed to treat this like normal political gossip?
This deserves a serious investigation.
This, right here, is the vehicle used in smuggling arms for the alleged senator Shehu Buba.
Hassan recorded inside and outside of the vehicle packed in the senator’s compound.
DSS is quiet.
That Safe Corridor brand ambassador @woye1 is quiet.
Nigerians... This is terrorism.
