I’m asking the internet to do something scary:
*Please Take a chance on me*
My name is Assumpta. I’m a Nigerian creative writer living with cerebral palsy, and I’ve spent my entire life learning how to pursue opportunities in a world that doesn’t always make room for my body
I am deeply saddened by the killing of social media commentator, Ibrahim Khalil Dan Shagamu, in his home in Kano.
No disagreement, criticism, or neighbourhood dispute can ever justify the taking of a human life. Those who speak up, express their opinions, or hold different views must not be made to live in fear.
I urge the Kano State Government and the relevant security agencies to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into this tragic incident and ensure that all those responsible are brought to justice.
Our Constitution guarantees every Nigerian the fundamental right to freedom of expression. That right must be protected for all, regardless of our differences.
My heartfelt condolences go to his family, friends, colleagues, and followers. May Almighty God grant him eternal rest and give his loved ones the strength and comfort to bear this painful loss. -PO
So that’s how we all moved on from the Senator Buba issue?
So you’re telling me that Hassan just wasted his time and risked his life for nothing?
Omo 💔😭
Benue youths should not allow this ugly big spend another night in any part of that state. He is a destroyer of democracy and should be destroyed by all means possible
Very useless hungry hediot in human form.
Dear @officialABAT,
I have served at NAFDAC for nearly a decade and dedicated years of my career to the fight against counterfeit and substandard medicines and unsafe food products.
My work in this area earned me the NAFDAC Director-General’s Merit Award in recognition of my contribution to the fight against fake food and drugs.
Mr. President, I am not asking for a favour. I am offering competence, experience and a proven commitment to the national interest.
Make me the Director-General of NAFDAC, give me the mandate and the institutional backing, and I will take the fight against counterfeit medicines and unsafe foods to an entirely different level.
Within the first six months, I will target a minimum 60% reduction in the circulation of counterfeit and substandard medicines and unsafe regulated products, with the ultimate objective of driving the menace to the barest minimum within one year.
Nigeria does not lack capable professionals. Sometimes, what is needed is simply the courage to put the right person in the right place.
Give me the mandate. Give me the tools. I will deliver.
Nigeria deserves a stronger, more effective war against fake drugs and unsafe foods.

Last year my junior brother scored 306 in @jamb_hq. A score that should’ve opened doors, not slammed them shut in his face. He went ahead to apply for Medicine and Surgery @KwasuOfficial a course with 270-300 cut off mark. They refused him and didn’t even change his course or offer him any course in the related field. No explanation that made sense.
This year he sat for jamb again came back with 301 applying for Medical Laboratory Science. Same school. Same hope. Same fear. And once again the signs are clear they will snub him. SECOND BATCH ADMISSION LIST CAME OUT TODAY AND TO MY UTMOST SHOCK SOMEONE IN THE SAME GROUP WITH HIM WITH A SCORE OF 242 GOT THE SAME COURSE HE CAN’T GET WITH 301 because the real requirement is not the JAMB score printed on a slip. it is the ability to “buy a slot” CASH OVER COMPETENCE. CONNECTION OVER CAPABILITY.
@KwasuOfficial, how do you look at 306 and a 301 and still turn away a child who has done everything right? you are supposed to be an institution of learning. instead you’ve become another marketplace where DREAMS ARE PRICED and the HIGHEST BIDDER WINS. @.Prof.Shaykh-Lukman is this the LEGACY you’re laying down as the VC of kwasu? when i was there 2023, it wasn’t this bad.
@jamb_hq, you set the exams. you publish the scores and tell the entire nation these numbers matter. Then hand over the children to institutions that treat those numbers like decoration. What is the point of your CUT-OFF marks when the real CUT-OFF is the THICKNESS of the parent’s wallet or the STRENGTH of a godfather’s call? @profsegunaina is this the legacy you’d love to be remembered for?
And the government just sit and watch the education system turn into a shambles of corruption, this is a slow murder of hope. The pain is not only his. It is every parent who scraped together money for jamb forms and textbooks. It is the quiet rage of knowing the system is rigged and still being forced to play in it. You have made EXCELLENCE optional and CORRUPTION compulsory.
We are not asking for CHARITY. We are demanding that a 301 and a 306 mean something again. That a child who did the work is not discarded so that someone else's "slot" can be sold. That KWASU, JAMB, the government and other TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS stop treating admission like a black market commodity. @NigEducation@officialABAT@DrTunjiAlausa@OfficialNUC@NigeriaGov@profsegunaina@KwasuOfficial@jamb_hq
