Late Sheik Albani Zaria is long gone, but every time you play one of his lectures about Nigeria, it feels like he is still alive today, witnessing the current state of the country.
In this video, Sheikh Murtala Asada listed some bandits kingpin that State Minister of State for Defense, Bello Matawalle gave new brand Hilux vehicles and attached some video testimonies on the clip; pls retweet
When I saw the Malta 🇲🇹 NNPC comment by Dangote, I suspected there was more to it. Our group decided to investigate further.
Our discovery was deeply shocking.

#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria
This man should be the icon of this #EndBadGovernaceInNigeria protest, he came out first in Kano State, he didn't care that he was alone, all he cares about is Nigeria his country.
He deserves recognition! 🇳🇬💯
Instead of protesting, the Muslim community in Ardo Kola Local Government in Taraba State offered the Nafila prayers and prayed for relief from the current situation of the country.
May Almighty Allah accept their prayers.
I join my brothers and sisters to strongly protest the use of the Hijab (Niqab) in an upcoming Nigerian movie produced by one Ms. Bolanle Ayo. The Hijab is an outfit deeply attributed to Muslim women that symbolizes respect, modesty, and religious devotion. And, I believe it should not be used as a mere costume in a movie, especially when the scenes it portrays are clearly associated with negative moral vices.
Using the Hijab in such scenes is a profound disrespect to our mothers, sisters, and daughters. This garment is a symbol of respect, and portraying it in a manner that suggests otherwise is offensive to those who wear it for religious purposes.
The producers of this movie should have considered alternative costumes, such as balaclavas or masks, for such scenes. For us, the Hijab (Niqab) is not worn by our women to hide their identity to commit crimes but to respect, follow, and abide by the teachings of our religion.
I join well-meaning Nigerians in calling on the producers of this movie to respect our religion and remove all the scenes where the Hijab is portrayed negatively. We also urge the National Film and Video Censors Board (@nfvcbng) to censor these hurtful scenes to protect the dignity of those who wear the Hijab.
We hope that our concerns will be addressed promptly and appropriately.

Nigeria’s old National Anthem
Nigeria we hail thee
Our own dear native land
Though tribes and tongue may differ
In brotherhood we stand
Nigerians all, are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.
O God of all creation
Grant this our one request.
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.
The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill proposing that Nigeria return back to reciting the old National Anthem.
🇩🇪🇮🇱 GERMANY CONFIRMS IT WOULD ARREST NETANHAYU
A spokesperson for the German chancellor confirmed the German authorities would arrest Netanyahu if he enters the country amid a proposed arrest warrant by the ICC for war crimes.
The stance has caused outrage in Israel, with many influential figures suggesting it marked another act of aggression by Germany on the Jewish people.
Israel's ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor:
"The Chief Prosecutor equates a democratic government with Hamas, thereby demonizing and delegitimizing Israel and the Jewish people.
This disgraceful political campaign could become a nail in the coffin for the West and its institutions."

Listen to "Nigeria, We Hail Thee", our former national anthem, used from independence in 1960 until 1978. Some people believe it has better content and musical accuracy. Enjoy it!
UPDATE ON THE CLOSURE OF BANEX PLAZA, ABUJA
Following the recent unrest at Banex Plaza in Wuse, Abuja, on Saturday 18 May 2024, by yet to be identified hoodlums who launched a brutal attack on some Nigerian Army personnel, a swift intervention by soldiers and policemen on internal security duties salvaged the situation and rescued the attacked personnel from being lynched by the hoodlums.
It is important to note that the soldiers attacked were unarmed, did not engage in any form of aggression, and posed no threat to anyone. Therefore, the cruel treatment meted out to them was entirely unwarranted and unjustifiable.
In response to this unfortunate incident, a meeting was convened with the management of Banex Plaza to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous act by temporarily shutting down activities in the plaza to ensure that the hoodlums who have been using the Banex neighborhood as a sanctuary to pose a security threat to the Federal Capital Territory were apprehended.
This, is in furtherance of the need for extensive investigation to be conducted at the scene to determine both the immediate and underlying causes of this mayhem. This investigation ultimately aims at ensuring the security of the Federal Capital Territory and to prevent such unwarranted attacks on own personnel and other security operatives, as has been observed in other areas, such as the unfortunate attack in Okuama.
The Nigerian Army will equally ensure that it diligently investigates the circumstances surrounding the presence of the personnel at the plaza and the attack that ensued.
Nonetheless, such acts of violence against personnel are not only condemnable, but could degenerate to a breakdown of law and order, orchestrating threats to national security.
Accordingly, the NA enjoins members of the public to exercise caution and restraint in dealing with military personnel and other security operatives, especially when they are in uniform. There are established channels through which grievances or misconduct by personnel could be reported to the appropriate authorities. It is imperative that these channels are utilized to maintain order and respect for those who serve and protect our nation.

Shame on you! You killed them at home, in the hospitals, in the ambulances, in the schools, in the mosques, in the markets, on the farms, in the refugee camps, while giving birth, while fleeing to "safety" waving white flags! The elderly, the men, women, children, aid workers, journalists and EVERYONE. You destroyed EVERYTHING to smithereens. And you still claim to be the victim! #AllEyesOnRafah
