If you messaged or rang me here in the last seven weeks but got no reply, I didn’t ignore you. I have been away engaging in the activity that makes me feel the most alive: undercover investigating an impossible story, this time physically draining, mentally tortuous, away from civilisation and without my gadgets.
I will be taking two more months off social media — to consult a physician, get examined by a physiotherapist, possibly speak to a therapist, then get on with writing what is unquestionably my biggest story ever.
See you back online sometime in September.🙏🏾
Dr Fasua @topefasua says rising prices are fine because somebody is earning the money. Farmers earn, traders earn, landlords earn, so call it 50-50.
By that logic no country has ever had an economic crisis, because in every crisis somebody is receiving the money. The question is never whether money is moving. The question is who it is moving from, and what is left of them.
When food prices rise, the money comes from the poorest Nigerians, because the poor spend most of what they earn on food. It goes to those who already own the stock, the land and the property. That is not 50-50. That is money flowing from people who have nothing but their wages to people who already have everything else. The World Bank says 139 million Nigerians live in poverty. PwC projects 10 million more will join them in 2026. Those are the people on the losing side of Dr Fasua's arithmetic.
The mother who now buys half derica of rice because a full one is beyond her has not made a fair exchange with anyone. She has simply been priced out of feeding her children. She is not consoled that a trader somewhere is smiling.
We invite Dr Fasua to walk into any market in this country and explain his 50-50 to her face.
A Special Adviser on Economic Matters is paid to end hardship, not to explain why hardship is acceptable because some people profit from it.
ActionAid Nigeria stands with the millions for whom this economy is not a debate. It is a daily struggle to eat.
@followers I want to hear your thoughts.

@mikeachimugu01 But that announce of flight cancelation and going mute on people is quite triggering. I think it is a customer relations training that is mostly lacking sir. You have it in extreme measure, a lot of customer facing airport and airline staff do not.
Thank you for all you do
@mikeachimugu01 If my flight was cancelled noting that it is a result of fuel scarcity, we are happy to refund within 14 days, or we would be happy to fly you tomorrow whrn we may have gotten fuel, etc sensible people will understand .
Nigerians please we need justice for Elozino Joshualia Ogege. My secondary school friend. She wasn’t just a classmate, she was my friend we sat together in school. She was a decent girl. Elo was not wayward.
They killed her Nigerians. They plucked her eyes while she was alive, breast and heart before she died.
She was a brilliant student, a first-class student from 100 level to 300 level at Delta State University Delsu.
She only went to look for a house to rent Nigerians😭
She told a security man working in DELSU, Onoriode (Onos), who had access to the school environment that she was looking for a house, he then told her he would help her get accommodation. That was how he lured her. Delsu claimed they are contract staff from a security company. Guess what? This security man is an Ex-convict.
He did not act alone.
He worked with other Yahoo boys including Desmond and their gang and with the help of a security supervisor identified as Nwosisi Benedict Uche. The mastermind was a Yahoo boy who came from Ghana, and got those Yahoo boys to look for a girl for ritual for him. He had 2 houses already in Abraka. Elo was not their first victim.
They planned it.
They waited for her inside the school environment, campus 3, overpowered her by putting something on her face and took her away.
They drove her out of Abraka into a bush.
According to their own confession, Elozino was crying and begging them to let her go even after they took her eyes alive she was still begging them. 😭
But they did not stop.
They killed her and removed parts of her body for ritual purposes to use for what they call “Yahoo Plus” money rituals.
They took those parts to a native doctor identified as Ojokojo Robinson Obajero, who they believed would perform money rituals for them.
The police tracked her phone and arrested them after the family reported she was missing because they couldn't reach her.
The Delta State Police PRO, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed that the suspects confessed and that the crime started as a missing person case before turning into a murder investigation.
Even the Commissioner of Police at the time, Muhammad Mustafa, confirmed arrests and said they were ritual killers.
One of the masterminds even died while trying to escape arrest.
But since 2018… what has happened? Elon have had no justice since 2018.
The case has been in court. Adjournment after adjournment.
Delay after delay. Years have passed. No clear justice. Are they bringing the judge?
My friend left her house to look for accommodation and never came back.
She trusted the wrong person a security man inside her own school. Delsu refused to show concern for their negligence. How can you employ an Ex-convict? Why would a security company employ an Ex-convict?
Elo is gone we know but we want justice. And till today, it feels like justice is still being delayed.
Nigerians, how long will this continue? How long will young girls keep dying like this? How long will cases like this be forgotten?
Please speak up. Please don’t let this case die. Please people I'm begging y'all to help us speak. They already confessed to doing it. They should have been sentenced to death already. All the people involved.
Help us cry for justice @Hybrid_Ola

My dear, this people has strategically ignored me for months. I have reached out through the Nigerian embassy in Qatar, the Qatar ministry of foreign affairs, Nigeria ministry of foreign affairs and through my lawyer. No response yet.
They don’t even respect Nigerian institutions.
Oh Gosh! While other countries are prioritising justice for their citizens, we are still writing letters that @HIAQatar may or may not respond to. Suspend their flights to Nigeria and they will respond. Cc @NCAA
On May 7, 2025, I boarded a @qatarairways flight from Abuja to Dallas, US, with a stop at @HIAQatar to visit my wife.
Upon arriving at @HIAQatar, airport security officers accused me of carrying cocaine. The truth was that one of the items I was traveling with contained a harmless stone placed there by the manufacturer for stability.
After running several tests and confirming it was harmless, the airport officials lied to me, telling me to follow them outside the airport for more tests—not knowing they were taking me to prison.
While I was in prison, @qatarairways wrote a report to the @USinNigeria stating that I had been caught with drugs, even though all tests were negative. My visa was canceled, and my wife’s was revoked.
After 6 weeks of agony and more tests, I was released.
It has been almost a year, and @qatarairways has refused to retract their report against me.
