“People are just foolish. You claimed because MC Oluomo arrested and threatened me that's why I am doing this.

Good! MC Oluomo arrested me for cyberbullying & stalking and I was imprisoned for 51 days. And Alh. Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa abandoned me without food, medicines and even a gesture of prison visit.

Court granted me bail and Alh. Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa refuses to take me to hospital. He promised to send money for medical attention. He asked me to send my account number which I did the very day I was released.

I started developing reaction on my body post prison life. I cried out to Seyi Bankole to get some money and he sent 50K and 30k for drugs. Seyi Bankole also sent 100k to me in prison and he told me he was sending it out of his pocket.

I reach out to MC OLUOMO and he sent 500k (Five hundred thousand naira) to me for treatment and bought return tickets for me to see him in Lagos.

Baruwa was not picking my calls again and never sent a dime for my treatment. He refused to make payments for my lawyers who represent me in court. “

PRESIDENT TINUBU JUST DROPPED NEARLY $1 BILLION TO ACQUIRE SKIES BEASTS 🚁

Nigeria is DONE playing defence!

President Bola Tinubu has backed Nigeria's Air Force with a near $1 billion deal for 12 of the world's most feared attack helicopters the AH-1Z Viper!

Night vision systems.
Precision strike capability. Advanced targeting.
Combat-resistant technology.
These machines hunt in the dark and strike with surgical accuracy!

Bandits, insurgents, terrorists the Nigerian sky is about to become your worst nightmare!

Africa's giant is not shrinking it is ARMING, RISING and PROTECTING its 220 million people with the full force they deserve!

The message from President Tinubu is crystal clear there will be NO safe haven!

🗣️ Naija, make una investigate this one.

[Senior Pastor Okezie James Atañi @Onsogbu]

I Watched Some Reasonable Part Of The Briefing By Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu...

Her Suggestion Was Quite Simple And Unfashionably True:

Starting Small Enterprises Like Selling AKARA,ROASTED CORN And KULI-KULI,Doesn't Take Millions To Set Up!

She Added That Her Office Would Be Giving GRANTS,Not LOANS,To Help Those Interested,Start!

She Also Listed Where Her Office Has Put Money:
Two Billion Naira To Tuberculosis Care Initiatives,One Billion To Breast Cancer,Half A Billion To Malnutrition, Alongside Scholarships, ICT Training And Agriculture Support, Amongst Others...

That's What She Said.

What Trended Was: " First Lady Says Fry
Akara To Survive..."

This Is a Willful Misunderstanding,And It's Costing Us!

Dignity Is Not In The Size Of The Stall!

I Understand Something About Living, And Livelihood In Lagos And Now London...

Small Enterprises Of Less Than £100 Litter The Streets Of Lewisham, Dalston And Peckham, Just As They Do In Yaba, Kaduna And Benin!

In South London,In Places Like WOOLWICH( Pronounced WOOLICH),You Find Ghanaian Aunties Selling KELEWELE From A Folding Table,Jamaican Patties From A Hatch, Suya-Style Corn Roasting On Rye Lane,On A Saturday Night!

U Head To The Italian Surburb Of LIGNANO,And U Find African And Nigerian Migrants Selling Roast Corn And All Manner Of Commodities!

Most Do It In The Open,Or Underneath Some Giant Umbrella Canopy!

Nobody Calls It National Embarrassment Out There...

Same Nigerians Who Will Call The First Lady's Suggestion Embarrassment,Will Call It HUSTLE!

The Difference, To Them,Is The Location...And Who Said It!

Guys,It's WORKING CAPITAL!

Even Those Of U Who Don't Have SHIMGBA,Are Making Mockery Of This!

This Was The Same Business Our Mothers Did,To See Us Become Better Humans!

I Know People Whose Mothers Trained Through Tertiary Institutions By Frying AKARA!

To Sneer At AKARA Frying And Others,Is To Sneer At The Hardworking Women Who Raised This Country!

The First Lady Didn't Say Frying Akara And Sundry Hustle Will Fix Inflation.

No!

She Was Simply Saying:

Do Not Wait For MANNA From Heaven!

Start Where You Are,And Here Is A Grant,Not A Loan,To Help You Take Off!

And To Those Of U Who Will Come Asking If I Would Marry A Lady Doing Road-Side Hustle...

I Would,A Million Times Over,And Even Push More Money To Her Business, As Far As The Interest, Strenght And Passion Remains There!

My Brother, Uche Pablo Okonkwo Still Remembers How We Would Meet At 23Rd,L Close Every Evenings,To Buy AKARA,FRIED YAM,POTATOES And PLANTAIN!

In A Week,We Went There 4 Times And Had To Patiently Wait On The Long Queue For Our Turn!

At MAZA-MAZA,A Woman Built Her Duplex,Frying AKARA And YAM,PLANTAIN And POTATOES!

And It Was In The News!

We TAPPED From Her GRACE!( Whatever That Means)

I Know Of A Friend On My List Who Sells Nylon To Feed Her Kids And Pay Rent!

Nylon!

Yes,NYLON!

But,Most Of U Are Sneering At The First Lady!

A Jobless U Is Laughing!

Jisie Ike!

Igbo People Will Say: " Oke Soro Ngwere Ma Mmili,Okokwaa Ngwere,O Ga Akokwa Oke? "

Abeg,Find And Elderly Igbo Man To Translate It For U!

I No Get Power!

Heat Too Much!

@StatiSense What about the ban that prevented Nigeria from attending 1996 Afcon which South Africa has eventually won?

[Senior Pastor Okezie James Atañi @Onsogbu]

This f00l(Video 1) made a video claiming that where he was working with some people, helicopter came and dropped items for Fulani herdsmen.

He told every Igbo that came across the video to share; that Nigerian military have never ever came to protect Igbo land but rather whenever they come, it is to attack Igboland, and they were set to attack Igbos this time again with the Fulani whom they went to drop unknown items for.

The video rightly caused panic in Adazi and Nimo and surrounding communities in Anambra, with police deploying personnel to the area.

You don't need to ask who he is: recently IPOB have started their Fulani propaganda in the South East again.

Year-by-Year Number of Ranked Nigerian Universities

Something happened to the ranking of our Universities Worldwide since 2023 that President Tinubu became the President...This is not just by chance...It didn't happen like this in the past.

1999–2015: 0 universities

2016: 1 university (University of Ibadan)

2017: 1 university

2018: 1 university

2019: 3 universities

2020: 4 universities

2021: 6 universities

2022: 6 universities

2023: 12 universities

2024: 15 universities

2025: 21 universities

2026: 24 universities

The massive surge from 12 Universities in 2023 to 24 in 2026 which have more of Public Universities is a story of more attention to the Education System.....

[Aliyu Giwa @aleeygiwa]

Please refrain from labeling them as bandits. They are actively engaged in combating banditry.

A video circulating online falsely claims that a police officer was seen interacting with armed bandits in Katsina State. This allegation is entirely false.

The individuals in the video are not criminals. They are members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria and registered hunters partnering with the Police in ongoing operations in Musawa and Matazu LGAs to combat crime and protect their communities.

The video shows a routine interaction between an officer and community security volunteers as they proceed to a designated operational area.

Misrepresenting this interaction misleads the public, endangers genuine community security partners, and undermines ongoing efforts to protect these communities.

The Nigeria Police Force strongly condemns this distortion. Spreading false security narratives that cause public anxiety and erode trust is not just harmless, it carries legal consequences.

To all Nigerians who viewed the video: the individuals shown are partners in your safety. They are vigilantes and hunters working with the Police, not against the law.

Please verify information before sharing. Misinformation has serious consequences

The National Sports Commission (NSC) and the Nigeria Football Federation (@thenff) have taken major steps towards repositioning Nigerian football following a high-level strategic meeting held at the NSC Headquarters in Abuja.

Led by NSC Chairman Shehu Dikko @ShehuDikko and Director General Hon. Bukola Olopade @BukolaOlopadee, alongside NFF President Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau and key football stakeholders, the meeting produced far-reaching decisions aimed at strengthening the football ecosystem from grassroots to elite level.

Among the landmark resolutions reached were plans to introduce a ₦2.5 billion prize fund for the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season, with league champions set to earn at least ₦1 billion, while second and third-place teams will receive ₦500 million and ₦300 million respectively.

The meeting also agreed on measures to improve player welfare, strengthen club licensing compliance, return the domestic league to television screens, and create a more attractive environment for private sector investment in football.

In line with the long-term vision for Nigerian football development, the NSC and NFF also agreed on improved contract terms for Super Eagles Head Coach Eric Chelle, who will additionally oversee the U-23 National Team as part of efforts to establish continuity across the national team structure.

Attention was equally focused on the women's game, with both institutions reaffirming their commitment to supporting the Super Falcons' WAFCON title defence while driving new funding initiatives and reforms for women's football.

The meeting further highlighted the commitment of the Renewed Hope administration and the RHINSE framework to building a sustainable football economy, strengthening governance structures, attracting investment, and restoring Nigerian football to its rightful place among Africa's leading football nations.

These photos shows the famous “bridge to nowhere” phase of 3rd Mainland Bridge, Lagos from 1980-1988:

Phase 1: Completed 1980, opened by President Shehu Shagari.

Ran from Lagos Island to Adekunle/Yaba.

The 8-year gap: Construction stalled after 1980.

The deck just ended over the lagoon for years, 1980-1988 (Photos 1 and 2).

It became a landmark and symbol of abandoned projects.

Completed: Phase 2 from Adekunle to Oworonshoki was finished and opened to traffic in 1990 under Babangida.

So for about 8 years that cut-off end you see was how it stayed, while piers stretched ahead with no deck.

I remember seeing it like that back then as a young man.

TALK IS CHEAP — UMAHI TO PRESIDENT TINUBU'S CRITICS AS FG MOVES TO COMMENCE NEW CARTER BRIDGE, RESTORE EKO BRIDGE

The Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON, has reaffirmed the Federal Government's commitment to restoring critical infrastructure in Lagos State, while applauding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's leadership and vision in driving transformative projects across the country.

Speaking during an inspection of ongoing federal road and bridge projects in Lagos on Thursday, June 18, 2026, the Minister disclosed that work on the rehabilitation of Eko Bridge is progressing steadily, while mobilization for the construction of the new Carter Bridge is expected to commence this month.

Umahi, who began the day's inspection at Eko Bridge, recalled that the bridge suffered significant damage due to a series of avoidable incidents, including a fire caused by trading activities beneath the structure and repeated collisions by heavy-duty trucks because of inadequate headroom clearance.

According to him, the Federal Ministry of Works has adopted engineering solutions aimed at accelerating the reconstruction process without compromising quality and safety.

"Today, we saw the rebuilding process and, to save time, we decided instead of using concrete beams, we would use T-beams," the Minister stated.

He emphasized that every stage of the project would be closely monitored to ensure strict compliance with engineering designs and construction standards.

"At every stage of that construction, I must be informed to ensure that the engineering design is followed and that the method statement given to the contractor is also followed." he said.

Nigeria starts the construction of a 4000 km high speed railway that will connect 36 states and will reduce travel time between Abuja-Lagos from over 12 hours to 3 hours.

The high speed electric bullet train project will cost $60 billion with completion of some sections in 2027.

I read the article from @obyezeks titled “State Police is not the answer, restructuring Nigeria is”.

2: her focus was on removing items from exclusive list so as to allow full restructuring.

3: My opinion: Restructuring can be done in piecemeal so as not to play to our anti-restructuring elements.

-(a): So state police is part of restructuring and should be implemented immediately.

4: But I am worried when she said “exclusive list centralizes authority over prisons, mines and minerals, railways, arms and ammunition and other strategic functions”.

-(a): May I remind her that “prisons” is no more under exclusive list but concurrent.

-(b): State Governments are CONSTITUTIONALLY EMPOWERED TO SET UP, BUILD, and MANAGE their own prisons or correctional facilities. So states house of assemblies should perform their duties.

5: RAILWAY: state governments can legislate, construct, maintain and operate their own intra-state railway systems without needing FEDERAL CLEARANCE.

6: @obyezeks should direct her advocacy to state governments. Let us implement what the restructuring laws in place first before comprehensive ones she is advocating.
