Why is Federal Ministry of Education @NigEducation introducing Computer Hardware & GSM Repair and Maintenance for Technical Colleges ? Why repair and not production? How visionary is this in this century?

On the invitation of the Embassy of Hungary, we had a rare privilege of attending Dr Daniel Mamah’s public presentation of his novel, AS THE RIVERS MERGE. The gathering brought together diplomats, writers, literary enthusiasts, friends and well wishers of the author.

I wrote this piece in 2022 when some of my best students were victims of @JAMBHQ inefficiencies. They scored below 300 which couldn’t have been in a credible exercise. Read the article via:

@gtbank GT Bank almost ruined my day. After regular N10,N25 and N50 deductions, they deducted N1300 this morning as SMS charge for the month. Is one message more than N4 again? How many messages I don receive this month? @cenbank please help me; I’m in severe pains😥

@musadeeeq was able to change the line of the conversation to how multimedia storytelling could be used in fight against GBV. Kudos to @KareemSAYDi for providing a platform that amplifies voices of change.

Fundraiser for the 26 Gallant Soldiers Who Eliminated Halilu Sububu

“Twenty-six gallant soldiers took down one of the most notorious bandit leaders, Halilou Sububu, in a daring operation, but their reward doesn't reflect the magnitude of their sacrifice. Join our fundraiser to give them the recognition they truly deserve.”

The killing of Halilu Sububu is a monumental breakthrough in Nigeria's war against terrorism. Sububu was not just any criminal—he was one of the most feared and powerful bandit leaders in the country, controlling vast territories of the Sububu Forest and orchestrating countless kidnappings, killings, and terror attacks. His reign of terror stretched for years, and until now, no major bandit or Boko Haram leader had been eliminated in such a decisive manner. His death is a victory every Nigerian should celebrate.

But let’s focus on the real heroes of this operation—the 26 brave soldiers who risked everything to rid us of this menace. Despite their courage, the Chief of Defence Staff rewarded them with just ₦1 million, even though the Nigerian Army had placed a ₦5 million bounty on Sububu’s head in 2022. That breaks down to only ₦38,000 per soldier. Think about it. These men, who face death every day, were given less than ₦40,000 for one of the most significant victories in this war. Many of these soldiers earn around ₦50,000 a month and have families to support, while the bandits they fight are earning millions in ransom payments from every kidnapping.

This is unacceptable. These gallant men and women deserve more than a token gesture—they deserve our full support. That’s why we are calling on the presidency to honour these soldiers with a National Award and a financial reward that truly reflects the magnitude of their sacrifice. This will not only recognise their bravery but also motivate them and others to pursue the remaining bandit leaders and gangs with renewed zeal.

But we cannot wait for the government to act. As Nigerians, we must step up now. The Fashin Baki team, our weekly Facebook show, is donating ₦1.8 million to these soldiers, and we are launching a fundraiser to ensure they and their families receive the recognition they truly deserve. This is our chance to show our soldiers that we value their service and their sacrifice.

We urge every Nigerian who understands the gravity of what these soldiers have done to join us. If you want to contribute, please contact @JaafarSJaafar or me directly. Our soldiers need to know that we stand with them. Together, let’s show them that, while some politicians may not care, Nigerians honours their heroes.

Thank you @officialABAT and congratulations on the landmark judgement for local government financial autonomy. The next thing to do now, is to ensure governors account for the local government funds in their possession before now. Also, rejig your cabinet.

Best TV adverts will be of those who owe salaries. Best newspaper adverts will be of those who don't build good schools and hospitals. Best assurances will come from those who rig elections.

This is from the prison, of mind and soul.

Tomorrow is our Democracy Day; best speeches will be delivered by those who ensure local government administration is crippled. I mean those who appoint cronies to head an arm of government without elections. Best fliers will be of those who detain journalists and dissent voices.
