JUST IN: Nigeria reveals an entire “presidential council” with government offices, civil servants, & nearly $1 million in the national budget was fake.

Seyi Tinubu flaunts in the club every weekend with luxury cars.
Habibat Tinubu lives a glamorous lifestyle in the U.S. She bought an apartment in NYC for over 2 million dollars when she was just 22.
Zainab Tinubu has no work we know of, yet she also bought an apartment in New York when she was just 25.

Your entire family siphons off Nigeria’s wealth. The only time you are seen helping the poor is when you want to use them for political gain.

We must remove this family from Aso Rock whether they like it or not.

[Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM]

As Nigeria joins the global community to mark World Population Day 2026, it is deeply concerning that our nation has not conducted a national Population and Housing Census in two decades. The last exercise, held in 2006, has left us relying on outdated population figures for critical national decisions on education, healthcare, security, infrastructure, employment, and resource allocation.

This data vacuum undermines effective planning and equitable development. Accurate, up-to-date population statistics are the bedrock of good governance, national security, sustainable development, and inclusive growth. We cannot continue to shape the future of estimated over 200 million Nigerians using statistics frozen in time.

On this World Population Day, I strongly urge the Federal Government to prioritise and conduct a credible, transparent, and technology-driven national Population and Housing Census without further delay. The time for excuses is over. The time to act is now. - RMK

This is how to incentivize excellence. Make the hero’s glow in the sun. Let everyone see what matters. What a nation respects and honors is what its citizens mostly becomes.

I've interviewed presidents, governors, generals, activists and politicians. But sometimes it's the interviews with the families left carrying the emotional burden that stay with you.

A few days ago, I interviewed the lawyer Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai. She spoke with the precision of a legal expert and the pain of a spouse.

She didn't ask me to defend her husband. She didn't ask Nigerians to take sides. She spoke instead - quietly but powerfully - about constitutional rights, due process, access to lawyers and doctors, and the emotional toll prolonged detention takes on a family.

It reminded me that behind every politically charged courtroom battle is a human story.

Whatever anyone thinks of Nasir El-Rufai politically, one truth remains: the rule of law only has meaning when it protects people whose politics we may disagree with. That is why due process is not a favour. It is the foundation of democracy.

Power is temporary. The legal precedents we tolerate today may become the standards - and the nightmare - we all live under tomorrow.

They should use their hard earned money to help the poor but her husband can use the money of the poor to buy yatch and presidential jet.

We Lost Him 💔😭

My heart is shattered beyond words

Our little brother, 13-year-old David Raymond, has gone home to be with the Lord after fighting for his life for 18 painful days

David was not a soldier
He was not a criminal
He was only a child whose only "offense" was being born into a Christian family in Plateau State

On that dark night in Kawel village, Bokkos LGA, terrorists stormed his home while the family slept

His father, Raymond Maichibi, stood between death and his son, hoping to save him with his own body, but he was shot and killed

His mother, Nanlop Raymond, hid inside the bedroom, praying for mercy, but the bullets found her too

David tried to escape, but an AK-47 bullet ripped through his back and stomach, leaving his intestines exposed

As doctors struggled day and night to save this innocent child, his parents were already lying in a mass grave alongside 20 other Christians murdered simply because of their faith

The family could not bring themselves to tell David that he was now an orphan

They hoped he would recover first

But today, that painful secret no longer matters

David has gone to join his father and mother in eternity

Before he died, his trembling voice still echoed from his hospital bed

"They came in the night... My father tried to protect me and they shot him... My mother was hiding when they shot her too... I ran and they shot me in the back..."

How many more children must die before the world listens

How many more Christian families must be erased before our tears are seen

The silence of the world has become another weapon against us

"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." — Matthew 5:10

David's blood cries out from the ground

His story must not die with him

I plead with the Church around the world, do not stop praying for the persecuted Church in Nigeria

Remember us before the throne of God

Stand with us while there is still someone left to save

May the Lord comfort every grieving heart and may little David Raymond rest in the everlasting arms of Jesus until we meet again

Rest in peace, precious child
Your suffering is over
Your crown awaits you 💔😭🙏

Muslims like this give us all a reason to heave a little sigh of relief. We’ve all been wondering out loud why Muslims haven’t been speaking up as should, over the ongoing religiously-motivated violence across the country. This one just did, and he did so intelligently.

Listen to his brilliant repudiation of Sheikh Gumi. Worth the watch.

[Rinu Oduala 🔥🔫 @SavvyRinu]

This is a reminder that 176 kidnapped pregnant women and children from Woro, Kwara are still with terrorists since February.

They have demanded over 3 billion naira for them. Tinubu is yet to say a word. Governor @RealAARahman is busy campaigning. 👏🏾

[Ada Ogbu @AdaOgbuNara]

As a member of the team that accompanied His Excellency @PeterObi to the Abuja airport on Saturday, July 4, I can state categorically that he does not have a police officer as his driver in Abuja. Therefore, if airport CCTV captured a police officer entering the driver’s seat of a vehicle, that vehicle could not have been Mr. Obi’s.

It is also important to note that Mr. Obi travels through as many as ten Nigerian airports every week. Over time, there have been several acts of hostility directed at him and members of his team by airport personnel across different locations.

Based on the account shared by the Honorable Minister, it is clear that the incident Mr. Obi referenced during his interview with @Chude did not occur on the date or at the airport cited by the Minister. They are plainly two different incidents.

Fellow Nigerians pay attention!!
Listen carefully to Prof Chidi Odinkalu as he hit the nail on the head in respect to the ongoing State Police matter. We want state police but it should be properly structured in the best interest of the citizens. The National Assembly claimed to be representing the people but issues of national importance such as State Police is not critically debated to ensure that the content is for the interest of the people. Nigerians do not have a copy of what National Assembly has done, no national debate or citizen’s consultations. They don’t just value the citizens at all! They no rate us at all!!

State Police: I Do Not Foresee Duplication of Responsibilities — Gen. Irabor

Sometimes we fail to realise that we currently have police stations across the country, down to the local government and village levels. When people say policing needs to get to the grassroots and that state police will address this, I think they are missing the point. State police, vis-à-vis the Federal Police, is about command and control. We must address the ills that have affected the Federal Police and ensure they do not affect the state police.

Gen. Lucky Irabor (Rtd.), Former Chief of Defence Staff, Nigeria

[Progressives @radiationchief]

@ARISEtv This is very insightful Prof.
If at all we want to create state police, we need a systematic overhaul and rest as it relates law enforcement cos this police as is it now is nothing but to protect the elites and politicians.

The Clamour for State Policing is Not About Law Enforcement; It is About Deploying Policing Power for Political Purposes - Odinkalu

The police, as an institution, are primarily about law enforcement, but in all of these discussions, no one is talking about law enforcement or justice.
