The irony is hilarious.
For years Yariba, some Ronu bigots have flooded the internet shouting, "Igbos are drug dealers," yet the available NDLEA data tells a different story.
According to the records, the South East has the fewest arrests. So who has really been pushing the propaganda all these years?
They amplify every arrest in the South East to score cheap tribal points while conveniently ignoring what's happening in their own backyard.
The internet has made it much harder for misinformation to survive. Facts are now only a few clicks away.
And before anyone cries manipulation, remind them that Statisense is headed by Femi Bejide, a Yoruba man, and the figures are compiled from NDLEA records. NDLEA also classifies suspects by state of origin, not by where they were arrested.
Propaganda may trend, but facts endure. The data speaks louder than tribal narratives. 😂🫵✌️
I watched with disappointment the recent interview granted by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to Channels Television on Monday.
After a prolonged absence from public discourse, one would have expected that time away might have sharpened Senator Sheriff’s judgment. Regrettably, that does not appear to be the case.
In the interview, the former governor claimed that Peter Obi cannot command sizeable support in Northern Nigeria. It is curious that he has appointed himself spokesperson for the Northern masses. For the record, in his first outing on the presidential ballot, Mr. Obi secured approximately 2.8 million votes in the region ��� a remarkable achievement that cannot be dismissed lightly.
Given the current national hardships, the widespread consensus on the failure of the APC administration, and the addition of a strong Northern figure to the ticket who previously garnered 1.45 million votes in the region, the OK ticket remains a formidable force in Northern politics.
Even more surprising was Senator Sheriff’s assertion that the people of Kano would not vote for Mr. Obi. Let me state clearly: the good people of Kano are neither bigoted nor xenophobic. They have consistently demonstrated strong trust in the Kwankwasiyya movement and will support any credible ticket presented under its banner.
I respectfully advise Senator Sheriff that, in future national television appearances, he would do better to speak to the serious insecurity and humanitarian challenges facing his home state, rather than making divisive and poorly considered remarks.
The OK ticket currently represents the best opportunity for Nigerians to reset the country and place it on a path of competence, unity, and progress. - RMK

There is no single state he didn’t get at least one vote with all the rigging. Long gone are the days some of you ‘polirigfians’ from the North will sit down and ascribe yourselves as the voice of the North.
Northern Nigeria is not a monolith and no one has monopoly on anyone’s votes. The people will decide.
The question this 'intelligent by half' dude should answer honestly is: in what universe will a Christian boy be made head boy in a Muslim school? We both know this will never happen, no matter how qualified he is. This already shows you who's tolarent and who will never be.
If you go through the comment section on this post, it will just make you sad. Most of the people supporting the mischievous @SavvyRinu are making foolish arguments.
Every sensible person knows that back in the day in Lagos, there was no hostility or division between Christians and Muslims. My own step sister is a Christian. Our family has been like that for the past 25 years.
Muslims going to a Christian school was a very normal thing. There are many Christians who went to Ansar-ud-Deen College at the time and nobody made it a big deal.
And do not be surprised that they made me the Headboy. I merited it. My CV was too irresistible. I won the school's first ever election, I had the best results, I broke records no male student have ever had, and by God, I had 97% votes from my teachers. A.Y.O was a special boy, just like my lovely teacher would always say.
Back to the point, the major difference between a Muslim dominated school and a Christian one is that a Muslim authority will never force you to worship with them. They will allow you to separate yourself and stand aside.
In a Christian school, they will force you to sing and dance Jesus is Lord when you don’t believe he is lord. That is pure compulsion. If not for the politics I played back then, they would not have given us a chance to stay away from church activities. Thanks to our Yoruba teacher, she was a courageous woman.
I was forced to sing praise and worship for 5 solid years before I became the headboy. That would never happen to a Christian boy in a Muslim school.
The world has seen who is truly intolerant of other people's beliefs. Do not blur the lines. The wind has blown, and the fowl's rump is out in the open.
In public schools in sokoto where I served, everyone whether christian or Muslim wore hijab. And it was public school oo not private or faith based.
Muslims only demand inclusion when they are the minority. They are typically not open and tolerant when they are the majority.
“I honestly find it unreasonable that a Nigerian Muslim who has all the options in this world to enroll their child in a school that aligns with their faith and beliefs will go ahead and register their child in a Christian/Catholic school, then want to enforce hijab rights.”
You call them kafirs.
You mock their beliefs.
You say they're doomed.
Then you queue up at their embassies.
Spend all night praying for a UK or US visa.
If kafirs are that terrible, why are you desperate to live among them?
"Tinubu said: '...why should I make laws that favour free and fair election, if you don't want to vote don't vote. Who say you must vote. You can sleep in your house that day. If only three people that vote for me, I win."
If you take a letter to INEC, they would call Villa. If they say don't collect they won't collect and if they ask them to collect they would collect because INEC is controlled from Aso Rock" - Prince Adeboyo
Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.
When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.
Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.
Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.
We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.
I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.
To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!

🚨2026 FIFA WORLD CUP: Nigeria may not have been on the pitch, but its sound was impossible to ignore. 🇳🇬
One unforgettable World Cup moment came when a Nigerian song echoed through the stadium, reminding the world that while Nigeria may not always qualify for football's biggest stage, our music continues to command a global audience.
From Lagos to the World Cup, Nigerian music keeps flying the nation's flag high. 🌍🔥
Quick advice! Drop that Old politician ego… it doesn’t work in the new Nigeria these young people are trying to build. Atiku is where he is today because of his ego. You will go far without it. Thank you.
