Happy Birthday to my dear brother, Alhaji Yusuf Amuda, Eru Lagaka. 🎉
I celebrate your loyalty, humility and unwavering commitment to our party and our shared cause. May Almighty Allah bless you with good health, wisdom, prosperity and many more fruitful years.
Keep serving, keep standing, and keep inspiring. Happy Birthday, Eru Lagaka! 🎂
I’m trying my best not to get involved in this conversation because I believe nobody should build a signboard on the road that will cause damage to public infrastructure. However, practicing selective judgment is worse and terrible. Frame 1 shows the governor doing the exact same thing he is accusing the opposition of. As for Frame 2, is that also on the road ?
I strongly condemn the reported removal of billboards bearing my name and image by the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. If politically motivated, this is an abuse of administrative power and a disturbing display of intolerance towards legitimate political competition. In a democracy, no government should use state machinery to silence or intimidate opposing voices.
My name may be removed from a billboard, but my commitment to Kwara cannot be removed, nor can my aspiration to serve or the people’s right to choose their leaders. I urge the Governor to compete with ideas, programmes and performance not by suppressing the visibility of political opponents.
Kwara belongs to all of us. I will continue to engage the people openly and peacefully, undeterred by any attempt to diminish our message. You may remove a billboard, but you cannot remove an idea whose time has come.
I have heard disturbing stories about the extent to which young Nigerians are being driven simply to survive. Perhaps the most horrifying are the growing reports of young people selling parts of their bodies: kidneys in particular, in desperate attempts to raise money.
Young people should be selling dreams, ideas and innovation, not their body organs.
Yet when the cost-of-living crisis becomes unbearable, desperation begins to make the unthinkable appear like an option. That should offend the conscience of every Nigerian.
In Tinubu’s Nigeria, almost everything required to live with dignity is becoming more expensive by the day: food, transport, rent, school fees, medicine and electricity.
Yet young Nigerians are reportedly being driven to sell their kidneys for as little as ₦1.7 million.
That should break the heart of a nation.
Young Nigerians should be building careers, starting businesses, raising families and pursuing their dreams, not calculating how much parts of their bodies can fetch simply to stay alive.
When young Nigerians begin to see their kidneys as emergency savings, we are no longer talking about ordinary economic hardship.
We are talking about desperation at its most frightening.
Nigeria already has laws prohibiting commercial organ sales and organ trafficking. But laws alone cannot cure the poverty and desperation that make vulnerable young people easy prey for criminal networks.
No government should celebrate “reforms” while young Nigerians are being reduced to selling parts of themselves to eat, pay rent, settle school fees or survive.
Economic reform must have a human face. It must mean affordable food, cheaper transportation, accessible healthcare, decent jobs and renewed hope for the next generation.
Our young people should be selling their ideas, talents and innovation to the world and not their kidneys for ₦1.7 million just to survive at home.
This is the human cost of Nigeria’s cost-of-living crisis.
Tinubu made Nigeria expensive. I will make Nigeria affordable again. -AA
APC is like a fund manager who crashed a portfolio from 100% to 20%, watched it recover to 23%, then came online to celebrate a “3% portfolio growth.”
Sir, the portfolio is still down 77%.
This is not recovery. It’s damage control with a press conference.
Removed fuel subsidy on the 29th of May, 2023, but he’s talking about addressing the challenges of the removal in August 2026, 4 months to a new election.
That’s over 3 years of the middle class becoming poor, double digits food inflation, high transport cost & weakened Naira/purchasing power.
This is a politician not a leader.
If you like, keep listening to people who sit in London or Brussels telling you to endure ridiculous high prices of petrol so as to enjoy some benefits in the near future.
Infact, they now have a new catch phrase “always choose growth.”
I promise you, there is only one guarantee should petrol and diesel prices remain high, and that is the complete immiserization of millions of Nigerians while the corporate financial elites smile to the bank.
And trust me, this is not communism or socialism, it is basic humanism.
JUST IN: ‘It is Kwara North’s turn.’*
Late Lawal’s 16-LGA structure backs Tinubu, AbdulRazaq
Hakeem Oladimeji Lawal, son of former Kwara State Governor Muhammad Alabi Lawal and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 election, has declared his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC), urging aggrieved members to return to the party.
Lawal spoke on Saturday in Ilorin during an event where he formally declared support for President Bola Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, APC’s 2027 governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Salihu Danladi, and all the party’s candidates.
He said the APC remained his political home, adding that some politicians who had left the party should consider returning and work together for its success in the 2027 elections.
“Some of them left. Where they left for, we should remind ourselves. When it is not your turn yet, it is not your turn,” Lawal said.
Nigeria’s young people do not need a government that teaches them how to survive hardship. They need a government that gives them the opportunity to prosper.
The cost-of-living crisis has stripped millions of Nigerians of purchasing power, weakened small businesses and pushed too many young people farther away from jobs, capital and economic independence.
My commitment is to change that.
We will restore purchasing power, reduce the cost of living and deliberately expand opportunities for young Nigerians, including through a $10 billion financing programme for start-ups and entrepreneurs.
Our objective is simple: move young Nigerians from dependence to enterprise, from unemployment to productivity, and from palliatives to prosperity.
It was against this background that I was pleased to receive, this afternoon, a nationwide delegation of N-Power beneficiaries who came to declare their support for my presidential candidacy.
I thanked them for their confidence and reiterated that Nigeria cannot build its future by distributing poverty. We must build an economy that creates jobs, rewards enterprise and gives every young Nigerian a fair chance to succeed.
The choice before us is between continuing with an economy that shrinks opportunities and building one that restores hope, dignity and prosperity.
We will make Nigeria affordable again. —AA
You clown 🤡,
Atiku @atiku, a retired Deputy Comptroller of Customs, is talking about border security and cross-border trade, and you think you have opinions.
No one understands border security more than him among all the candidates, not even your boss, so keep your opinions.
The one thing I respect BAT for is that he’s smarter than the sum of his followers, when they are saying one thing, more often than not he reacts to the reality and disappoints them, his followers don’t mind too, they believe he’s smarter.
Then there’s one candidate totally controlled by fleeting opinions of his followers and will never have a solid position on any issue as he can’t afford to annoy anyone.
Please check on Tinubu’s media managers: @aonanuga1956 , @otegaogra , @SundayDareSD 😂
Yesterday, they were abusing @atiku’s prescription and calling it “taboo.” Today, their oga has quietly entered the same pharmacy with Atiku’s prescription in his pocket.
Imagine spending 24 hours abusing the @atiku policy, only for your boss to adopt the argument while your insults are still trending. 😂
What a difficult time to be a propagandist!
1. Who is their employer? Who will be paying them? What's the salary structure like?
2. Who's going to train them?
3. What rules and regulation binds them? In which constitution is it written?
4. Will they be armed? How will the ammunitions be accounted for
5. What is the scope and limit of their operations and jurisdictions?
If all these and more are not defined, it will lead to chaos.
@DahiriOmoIlorin This is clearly an agenda. Kale Kawu is an accomplished politician with his own convictions, principles, and political identity.
Supporting or respecting Saraki does not erase his independence. Kale Kawu will not be a puppet, he'll be a governor accountable to the people.
So, as Muslims, it’s our prayer that we die as Muslims. And we’re happy for anyone that dies as Muslim.
May Allah grant my father and every Muslim deceased Jannah. May Allah take our lives as Muslims, and when He is pleased with us. Āmīn. 🤲
If I die right now, while still in the state of Islam and īmān, I would want every Muslim who hears of my death to first thank Allah on my behalf that I died as a Muslim. Before celebrating my achievements, recounting my good deeds, mourning what I left behind, or speaking about anything else, let there be gratitude to Allah that He preserved my faith until my final moment.
This is the understanding of a Muslim. We know that wealth, status, scholarship, family, influence and accomplishments all end with this world. But to meet Allah upon tawḥīd and submission to Him is the ending every believer hopes and prays for.
So, if I die as a Muslim, grieve for me because you love me, pray for me because I will need your prayers, forgive my shortcomings, but above all, thank Allah that I died believing in Him.
O Allah, keep us alive upon Islam, cause us to die upon faith, and grant us a beautiful ending. Āmīn.
What many of you do not understand is that when a Muslim dies, regardless of how he dies or the circumstances surrounding his death, there is one reassurance at the back of our minds: He died as a Muslim. Every other thing is secondary.
This gives us the confidence to pray for him and do what will be of benefit to his soul in the grave.
Saying he is happy Ogogo did not die in a church as some suggested is not out of place. It would have been a massive misfortune if he had died there. We thank God he did not.
While we are crying and mourning his death, we are also thanking Allah that he died upon Islam.
If you do not understand how Islam works, do not meddle in it.
The news of the passing of celebrated Nollywood actor, Alhaji Taiwo Hassan, is deeply saddening.
It is particularly painful that only days after the public became aware of his battle with cancer, we are confronted with the heartbreaking news of his demise.
Alhaji Taiwo Hassan was more than a gifted actor. Through a remarkable career, he brought laughter into countless homes, told stories that reflected our society and used his talent not only to entertain but also to educate and inspire social rebirth. His passing leaves a painful void in Nigeria’s creative community and in the hearts of the millions who cherished his work.
I join his family, colleagues and admirers in Nigeria and across the world in mourning this profound loss.
May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, comfort his loved ones and grant him eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus. Ameen. -AA
