I wrote to the PM reminding him of his obligations under the Ministerial Code.
He’s at best been recklessly negligent, and at worst completely dishonest. It's time for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Parliament and the British people deserve nothing less.
THE PALANTIR QUESTION IN NIGERIA
Data sovereignty is national sovereignty.
Nigeria should pay close attention to the recent $11.75M investment led by 8VC, the venture firm founded by Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir Technologies.
The investment went into Terra Industries, a Nigerian defence-tech startup founded by very young entrepreneurs building drones and autonomous systems to protect critical infrastructure.
This is not about attacking Nigerian innovation. It is about asking hard questions.
Palantir is not a normal software company.
• Early backed by In-Q-Tel (CIA’s venture arm)
• Deep contracts with U.S. Homeland Security
• Embedded in military and intelligence systems
• Publicly aligned with Israel’s defence ministry after October 7
Palantir’s business model is “land and expand.” Once inside a state’s security architecture, exit becomes difficult and expensive.
The issue is not drones.
The issue is data.
When autonomous systems protect oil facilities, ports, pipelines and airports, they generate:
• Movement patterns
• Access logs
• Network mapping
• Behavioral intelligence
That is sovereign power.
Nigeria must ensure:
1.Full disclosure of investors and foreign technical dependencies
https://t.co/bVXMq1LoQc black-box procurement in national security
3.Strict enforcement of the 2023 Data Protection Act
4.Clear guarantees that critical infrastructure data never leaves Nigerian control
5.A technical exit strategy from any foreign-linked platform
“All American data belongs to Palantir” is not literally true. But concentration of analytic power inside a small circle of defence-tech firms is real.
The question is simple:
If relations sour, can Nigeria run its own security systems independently?
If the answer is no, that is not a partnership.
It is leverage.

Attacking Iran was the plan from the beginning.
Iran did not close the Strait of Hormuz; the United States did.
They knew they would destabilize West Asia, so they secured Venezuelan oil beforehand.
The peace talks were merely a distraction.
Federal Medical Centre, Jabi has issued a press statement clarifying recent events surrounding the tragic passing of Late Ifunanya Lucy Nwagene following complications from a snake bite.

PRESS STATEMENT
CLARIFICATION ON RECENT EVENTS REGARDING THE CASE OF LATE IFUNANYA LUCY NWANGENE
Abuja, Nigeria | 01 February 2026
We wish to address the circulating discussion on social media concerning the unfortunate case of Ms. Ifunanya Lucy Nwagene, who tragically passed away due to neurotoxic complications following a snake bite on January 31, 2026.
First and foremost, we express our deepest condolences to the Nwagene family during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of a loved one is never easy, and our thoughts are with them.
We want to clarify that the management team at Federal Medical Centre, Abuja acted promptly and with the utmost care upon Ms. Nwagene's arrival. Our medical staff provided immediate and appropriate treatment, including resuscitation efforts, intravenous fluids, intranasal oxygen, and the administration of polyvalent snake antivenom.
After a thorough but quick evaluation, it was clear that Ms. Nwagene suffered severe neurotoxic complications from the snake bite. Despite all efforts to stabilise her condition and transfer her to the Intensive Care Unit for further treatment, she experienced a sudden deterioration just before the transfer. Our team of professionals worked diligently to provide CPR and other life-saving measures; however, despite these efforts, we were unable to revive her.
We stand by the quality of care and dedication our team demonstrates daily. The claims of non-availability of anti-snake venom and inadequate response are unfounded and do not reflect the reality of the situation. We are committed to transparency and integrity in our practices and will continue to pursue excellence in patient care.
In light of these events, we encourage our community to engage with credible sources for information and updates rather than relying on social media speculation. We remain available for any further inquiries or clarifications.
Thank you for your understanding.
DR. BIOKU MUFTAU,
Head of Clinical Service
