.@aonanuga1956 , your duty as a presidential spokesman is to explain why innocent schoolchildren spent over 67days in the hands of kidnappers, not to police the emotions of the opposition. Relief at their rescue does not erase the government's responsibility for the delay that made their ordeal possible. We commend the gallant security personnel whose sacrifices helped secure their freedom. But where is your outrage for the children still in captivity in Borno and across other parts of Nigeria? When will they return home? A government spokesman should be answering these questions instead of demanding applause for a government that failed to prevent the tragedy in the first place. Nigerians deserve security, not propaganda - #agbaya #oponu #ode

@aonanuga1956 @atiku The primary responsibility of any serious govt is the protection of lives & properties! This govt has failed woefully in this regard! What is their to celebrate-your monumental failure?You should be ashamed of yourself! What is the govt doing to manage the trauma of the children?

The Disheartening Humiliation of Prof. Aghaji

Every day in this country, we find ourselves in a bizarre situation that we find difficult to understand: where we are and how we got to this uncivilised behaviour and rascality. Worse still, when you try to bring these abnormalities to the attention of those concerned, they resort to abuse instead of appreciation.

Just this morning, my attention was drawn to the disrespectful and humiliating circumstances surrounding the apprehension of Professor Martin Aghaji, a distinguished 74-year-old medical expert. This man was not invited, nor was any direct contact made with him. Instead, they invaded his home at Independent Layout, Enugu, in the dead of the night, at 2 a.m., to arrest him in front of his visiting daughter.

As an internationally recognised cardiothoracic surgeon, esteemed academic, and elder statesman, Professor Aghaji warrants a considerable degree of respect, both because of his advanced age and his substantial contributions to our nation. More importantly, however, every Nigerian, irrespective of status or profession, deserves to be treated with dignity and in accordance with the rule of law. After the humiliation of breaking into his house and whisking him away from Enugu to Lagos for three days, all he got was, “Sorry, we made a mistake.”

The public outcry concerning the state’s handling of Professor Aghaji’s case highlights a wider conflict between the actions of state security agencies and the imperative to safeguard professional integrity and individual dignity. Such conduct directed at a 74-year-old might not only exacerbate the critical “brain drain” but also severely damage the country’s already precarious healthcare infrastructure.

This incident brings to mind the similar mistreatment of a medical practitioner in Akwa Ibom, which prompted the Nigeria Medical Association to consider a nationwide strike. Fortunately, due to prompt intervention, a formal public apology was issued to the affected doctor.

The practice of treating highly regarded, ethical professionals - and indeed any Nigerian - like common criminals sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law across all sectors. Therefore, we must conduct ourselves with civility in the discharge of our public duties. A superior and renewed Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO

These are the Quit Claim Deeds that Nigeria's FCT Minister, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (@GovWike), and his wife, Eberechi Suzette Nyesom-Wike, a Court of Appeal judge in Nigeria, used to transfer three different Florida properties into the names of their children, Jordan, Joaquim, and Jasmyne. These transfers were done in 2023, but Mr. International Thief said he was not aware.

With this discovery, it is now also clear that @GovWike has a fourth property in Florida at 113 Spring Creek Lane, Winter Springs, FL 32708.

This explains why Wike boasted on @channelstv in a recent interview with @seunokin that he “didn’t know” his wife and children owned mansions in the United States. But the international thief has now been caught in his own web of lies. By the way, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike @GovWike was due for follow-up treatment for a new ailment and chest infection that recently kept him in London for two weeks, which he was going to do under the guise of attending the UN General Assembly with @officialABAT but yesterday the VP, Kashim Shettima was asked to lead the delegation with 7 other ministers, @GovWike decided to bail out and several state governors have also been told to stay back for now.
There is no hiding place anymore.

EXPLAINER AS TO WHY Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS, AND HIS WIFE ARE USING A QUIT DEED TO TRANSFER THEIR LAUNDERED WEALTH TO THEIR THREE KIDS: A Quit Claim Deed is one of the simplest property transfer documents in U.S. real estate law. It allows one person, the grantor, to sign over whatever ownership interest they may have in a property to another person, the grantee. Crucially, it offers no guarantees the grantor makes no promise that the title is valid, clear, or even legitimate. In short, it transfers “whatever interest” the grantor has, nothing more.

Ordinarily, quit claim deeds are used for routine family transactions, a husband adding a wife to a title, parents transferring property to children, or heirs resolving paperwork after an inheritance. Because they bypass warranties and detailed title checks, they are cheap, quick, and often escape close scrutiny.

But this simplicity is exactly why kleptocrats love them. Corrupt officials exploit "quit claim deeds" to launder stolen wealth. By transferring properties into the names of wives, children, or other relatives, they hide their true ownership. On paper, the transactions appear to be ordinary family planning. In reality, they are deliberate strategies to conceal the original source of illicit funds. No public sale, no market-value exchange, no visible money trail, just the quiet concealment of corruption beneath harmless looking paperwork.

This is precisely what Wike has done. Properties in Florida, purchased with the proceeds of corruption, were quietly moved into the names of his wife, herself a senior judicial officer in Nigeria, and their children. The pattern is a textbook case of laundering stolen Nigerian wealth into U.S. real estate, using quit claim deeds as legal camouflage.

Under U.S. law, such transactions amount to money laundering and trafficking in stolen property, serious crimes punishable under both state and federal statutes. They are also subject to asset seizure and forfeiture under the U.S. Department of Justice’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.

Wike’s Florida deeds are the very trail of corruption, the very evidence that US prosecutors need to unravel his kleptocracy and reclaim assets stolen from the people of Nigeria.

The title of Professor Chidi Odinkalu's latest Book @ChidiOdinkalu is so thought provoking. Of course there's no doubt that 2023 elections was not decided by the 'Electorates' but by the 'Selectorates'

The BIG QUESTION IS: Shall we allow this to continue?!

Any country where pupils get lined up on the streets, much less in the rain, to welcome a president on a supposed condolence visit after the killing of over 200 citizens is not a normal country.

Any president who allows this is not a normal president; any state governor who allows this is not normal too.

What happened today was an abnormality of the most abhorrent class. I repeat, we are not a normal country, neither are we governed by a normal president. The Benue State governor is not normal too.

Some things should never happen and this was one of them!
