@GovWike I cannot but be proud of you when I see a great man from my former department at the University of Port Harcourt. Political and Administrative Studies. I left in 1991. We welcome you to Arab Road, where I live for the commission of the road. Welcome Sir. Dickens Ekong
@NigeriaStories The Chief, regrettably is a 'busy body' without any known direction...someone, should help him find its way home from the labyrinth of media deluge
More troubling, in fact, is disregard of how incivility poisons culture and abuse of institutions to rationalize bad behavior in public life, indecorum in how we disagree, damages that pillar of progress, strong institutions. Failing legitimacy of our judiciary is clear example
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.
An Open Letter to the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development
Dear Honourable Minister @fkeyamo,
Attached is a video showing Senator Adams Oshiomhole allegedly breaching airport regulations and engaging in conduct that disrupted public peace. The incident went viral and occurred under your watch, yet there was no public demand for an apology or the imposition of any sanction.
This makes the recent treatment of Mr. Peter Obi difficult to reconcile. CCTV footage indicates that his driver parked in an area without a visible "No Parking" sign, and the video clearly shows that other vehicles were also present in the same location. Yet Mr. Obi appears to be the only individual publicly called upon to apologise and pay a fine.
Sir, this disparity creates the perception of selective enforcement and undermines public confidence in the impartiality of your office.
With respect, I believe the circumstances warrant an apology, not from Mr. Peter Obi, but from your ministry to him, for the appearance of double standards and what many reasonably perceive as a targeted approach.
Yours faithfully,
A Concerned Nigerian
I spent my time watching the whole video...I have this question to ask you @fkeyamo how more devilish can you people be. You lied and made your narration looked like Peter Obi was guilty, meanwhile the opposite was the case.
1. The driver did not pack the vehicle close to the entrance. As a matter of fact, 2 vehicles were even packed behind him
2. The man that came to clamp the tyre was standing at a distance looking for the perfect time to come and clamp the tire. He was watching while the driver was parking. If you people dnt have a evil agenda, the man should have directed him not to park there if that place was even a wrong place to park in the first place.
3. You said Peter Obi claimed that there were other offenders...he did not say there were other offenders. What he said was that, if he parked in a wrong place at least there were other cars parked but why is it only his car that was clamped
4. This should raise a serious concern. I noticed you purposely cut the video the moment the man came to clamp the tyre just to suit your narrative. The video dnt show the man leaving. The question is, why dnt the man clamp the tyre of other vehicles parked behind him.
5. See Keyamo, El-Rufai played loyalty game much more than you're doing today and he is reaping the fruit of his labour presently. I don't need to talk too much. Half word is said to a responsible child (that's if you're responsible) when it reaches your stomach, it makes you whole.
I'm just wondering how you can still lie when there's a glaring evidence.
Don't wait for Obi's apology or fine...go to court and do your worst...at least your slave master is the one in charge of the judiciary.
Peter Obi is a former governor and a presidential candidate - how else did you expect that he would be picked up from the airport?
You that is a minister, how are you picked and dropped off at the airport?
You people are playing this politics as if you’ll be in these positions forever. Some people were there before you and people will come after you leave.
@Baruch_Bashan@Kingprince006 Regrettably, you don't even know this man. He was our goal keeper of Unique Uniport in 1988. He graduated in Second Class Upper in 1990.
He is a very brilliant man, and a year my senior in the faculty of social sciences. I don't think there is anything wrong.

Before we spread panic about a kidnapping den, the NDLEA actually busted that underground network in Kano as a drug trafficking hideout. In the Rimin Kebe area. Let’s wait for the official brief on who owns the structure before assuming the worst!
GEJ became Acting President February 9th 2010.
Three months later on 5th May 2010 Yar'Adua was officially declared dead and on THAT SAME DAY Adeboye threatened GEJ with a million man match protest over insecurity.
Today he's making excuses for his kinsman. Evil Conman

In the midst of all these we have this...
@JustKingss@PSG_English@PSG_inside Again, you will cry bitterly and will not eat for three days. Many of you will hide your faces in shame . Arsenal, just as predicted before will open scoring and PSG will equalize thinking they will carry the day. Arsenal will score late in the game Arsenal 2- PSG 1.
