“I bought the Mandilas building through a loan from Zenith Bank. The Lagos State government initially demolished part of the building and refused to rebuild it. After they gave me the approval to rebuild it, I collected another loan and rebuilt it. Now, the Lagos State government came back to forcefully take over the entire building from me.

-Onuorah Eze Okafor, who bought Mandilas in Lagos, shares a heartbreaking story of the battle he’s facing with the Lagos State government over the ownership of his Mandilas building!✍️

@CyrilRamaphosa Africa is brother to White South Africans only. The rest of you black South Africans don't deserve it.

@BBCWorld South Africa should be warned that if a war should break out with Ghana over this, they will know that Nigeria's banter with Ghana is only on social media. In reality, we are allies, and might even get to Johannesburg and Durban before them.

Have you heard what is happening inside Tinubu's Presidency?

Are you even aware that someone is publicly claiming he paid ₦600 million just to be appointed to head a federal agency?

No, this is not a movie.

According to Prince Adeyemi, he paid ₦400 million upfront and was expected to pay another ₦200 million later.

But that's not even the biggest part of the story.

He says the real trouble started when he refused to part with 48 percent of a ₦24 billion take-off grant meant for the agency he was appointed to head.

Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, these are his allegations. The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has denied any connection with the agency altogether.

And that is exactly where this story becomes unbelievable.

The Chief of Staff says the agency does not exist.

Prince Adeyemi says it does.

Not only that, he says it has over ₦1 billion in the Appropriation Act, over 300 approved staff by the head of service of the federation, and even accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Now tell me...

If the agency does not exist, who inserted its budget into the Appropriation Act?

Who approved over 300 staff?

Who processed the files?

Who opened the accounts?

Or are all these claims completely fabricated?

On the other hand, if the agency truly exists, then why is the Presidency denying its existence?

Can you see why this matter cannot simply be dismissed?

Somebody is not telling Nigerians the truth.

Personally, I am less interested in the drama than in the documents.

Produce the appointment letter.

Produce the budget.

Produce the payroll.

Produce the CBN records.

Produce the evidence of the alleged payments, if they exist.

Let Nigerians see who is lying.

Because if a man can wake up one morning and falsely accuse the Chief of Staff to the President of collecting ₦600 million and demanding a share of ₦24 billion, then that is a national scandal.

And if he is telling the truth...

Then that is an even bigger national scandal.

Either way, this matter deserves much more than a press statement.

Nigerians deserve answers.

Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy

Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.

From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.

It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.

It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.

The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.

Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.

My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.

I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO

The Nigeria Police Force claims that the reported video was misleading. That the heavily armed men on bikes were members of a Vigilante Group and registered hunters. Pls @PoliceNG explain to us:

1. How a vigilante group is allowed to wear an army uniform.

2. Why a vigilante group is carrying heavy machine gvns.

3. Why some are masked up and don't have recognized uniforms like all vigilante groups in Nigeria.

4. Why the people in the video are loud and constituting a nuisance on roads.

Now since you claim these people are hunters, why are they allowed to posses machine guns that isn't authorized for civilians?

Once again, explain to the public why a vigilante or hunter is on army camouflage.

@HQNigerianArmy No victory here, no cause to celebrate. Until we start receiving reports that the terrorists were all terminated, it will only be another opportunity given to them to strike again. Who knows who's next?

[Lasdouga@Ricason @lasdouga]

@NigeriaStories And they were allowed to flee. The Army should continue deceiving themselves until there are no more Generals to lead them.
