🇿🇦Popular South African xenophobic activist appeared in court and told the judge, "I don't have a lawyer because I don't work."
The statement has since sparked mixed reactions online, with many debating why they say other nationals are taking their jobs.
Here's what played out…
Ex-President Obasanjo wanted to stand up for Peter Obi, as he arrived at the Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe’s event. Obi refused.
Obasanjo, in his usual jovial manner, insisted. But Obi wouldn't let him. Obi proceeded to greet him on bent knees.✍️
"Police released Armed Fulani Militia, we arrested & gave them their AK-47's back to them"
Gov. Udom - *"We arrested persons with fake army uniforms carrying 18 AK-47's rifles and handed them over to the police"*
However, the police hierarchy gave express orders that those persons should be released and their guns handed back to them.
We want to let the world know that if there is a breakdown of law and order tomorrow, the police should be held responsible.
All attempts to speak with the top hierarchy of the police in the zone and at Abuja were rebuffed.

Today in Lagos, I had the honour of unveiling two newly acquired Boeing 737-800NG aircraft by United Nigeria Airlines, named in recognition of two exceptional sons of Nigeria: the late Professor Chinua Achebe, the globally celebrated literary icon, and His Royal Majesty, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, CFR, the Obi of Onitsha.
I commend the Chairman and Founder of United Nigeria Airlines, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, for this thoughtful gesture of immortalising individuals whose contributions have profoundly shaped our society. Honouring excellence and service inspires future generations and strengthens our collective national identity.
The acquisition of these aircraft is a testament to the growing confidence in Nigeria’s aviation sector and the resilience of indigenous enterprises. I also applaud the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, for his reform-driven leadership and commitment to creating an enabling environment for private-sector participation in the industry.
I particularly welcome ongoing efforts to strengthen local airlines through innovative initiatives such as aircraft leasing arrangements, which will enhance competitiveness, improve access to aviation assets, and support sustainable growth across the sector.
I also appreciate the Minister’s continued support for the Abia Airport project. I am pleased to report that work on the runway has reached an advanced stage, and our administration remains fully committed to delivering a world-class aviation facility that will expand economic opportunities, improve connectivity, and position Abia as a strategic hub for commerce and investment.
I congratulate United Nigeria Airlines on this milestone and wish the airline greater success as it continues to contribute to national development, create jobs, and strengthen Nigeria’s aviation industry.
Congratulations once again to Professor Obiora Okonkwo, the management of United Nigeria Airlines, and all stakeholders whose vision and dedication made this achievement possible.
Interviewer: after your incredible performance, you were seen waving the flag of Cape Verde with Peter Obi's picture. Do you have any reason behind this?
Cape Verde goalkeeper: honestly, there is. I believe you may not know the person in that flag beyond his name. But he's a beacon of hope for the African youths.
Interviewer: seems you see him as a mentor?
Cape Verde goalkeeper: not just me but the entire Africa. I didn't want to come for this tournament until I heard him speak during his visit to South Africa. He really motivated me.
🗣️Steven Gerrard when asked if he thinks #Arsenal can beat PSG in this season’s UEFA Champions League final: “I know more than anyone that an underdog can win this final. It was a mismatch when we played AC Milan but anything can happen. Arsenal are playing against a high-quality team with an elite manager in PSG so Arsenal will have to be the best versions of themselves.
“Every single player will have to turn up but of course they’ve got a chance. Being the underdogs might even suit this Arsenal team. If they can win the Premier League that will give them immense confidence and belief going into the final as well.
“They’ve certainly got a chance. I think they need to use their physicality, their size, make every set-piece count and take PSG to places they don’t want to go and make it uncomfortable for them.”
"If everybody is normal in Nigeria, they shouldn't even do election. They should just pick the man and put him in power."

We received a delegation from the China Harbour Engineering Company Limited led by Mr. Nicolas Liu, where we discussed the proposed Azumini - Obeaku Sea Port and Inland Waterways Corridor project in Abia State.
I have granted approval for an immediate feasibility study on the project. While the company initially suggested a six to seven-month timeline, I have directed that the study be completed within a shorter period so that progress can be accelerated.
Alongside the study, we will begin the process of securing approvals from the Presidency, Nigerian Ports Authority, and the Federal Ministry of Blue Economy. I have also encouraged the team to visit the proposed site to assess its viability, given its proximity to the High Sea and the technical requirements such as dredging.
The project has the potential to transform Abia State’s economy and contribute significantly to Nigeria’s maritime development. With strong commitment, proper funding, and strategic partnerships, we can make the Azumini Sea Port a reality.
I thank the team from China Harbour Engineering Company Limited for their presentation and look forward to positive outcomes from the feasibility study.
