Young loot
Middle-aged loot

Girls' loot
Boys' loot
Elderly loot

They are asking the government to restock shops they have looted.

What are they even looting? Soda

On Thursday, they will march and demand jobs.

These people and places should not be mentioned on anyone's lips

There is a disastrous glitch in the just-released WAEC results, especially for those who were forced to do WAEC CBT.

WAEC, you can’t toy with our children’s destinies.

We will not allow it.

The results need to be withdrawn immediately and fixed, or we will challenge you in court.

🔥🚨BREAKING: 30 Christians were slaughtered in Naridon Village, Kaduna, Nigeria and the mainstream media will not say a word about it. The persecution of Christians around the world is a genocide and the world is silent.

One day, Thomas Alva Edison came home from school and handed his mother a note. He said, “My teacher gave me this note and told me to give it only to you.”

His mother opened the note, and as she read it, her eyes filled with tears. She read it out loud to her son: “Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him, and we don’t have the right teachers to teach someone so special. Please teach him at home.”

From that day on, his mother took charge of his learning.

Years later, after his mother had passed away and Edison had become one of the greatest inventors of all time, he was looking through some old family belongings. On his desk, inside a picture frame, he found a folded piece of paper.
He opened it, and read the original note from his teacher. It actually said:

“Your son is mentally ill and we cannot allow him to return to school.”
Edison cried for hours after reading it. Then he wrote in his diary:

“Thomas Alva Edison was once a child labeled mentally ill. But because of a brave and loving mother, he grew up to be a genius.”

What a powerful response his mother had. She could have told him the painful truth, but instead, she gave him a message that built him up. She made him believe he was smart and capable, and he believed it so much that he grew up to become one of history’s greatest minds.

It shows just how much influence a parent’s words can have on a child.

I don’t interview guests to embarrass them. I interview them to test arguments. If an explanation can’t withstand scrutiny, the public deserves to know.

Comparing a fake agency scandal - along with a governance breakdown involving official institutions - to 9/11 isn’t an answer, it’s a distraction.

9/11 was a catastrophic terrorist attack. What Nigerians are asking about is institutional accountability. Those are not the same conversation. When we blur them, we don't illuminate the truth - we detract from it. There's a difference between explaining a failure, and excusing one.

Thank you to everyone who reached out. It’s clear many of us still believe in one simple thing: asking hard questions, and refusing to let bad analogies replace accountability.

Journalism isn't about winning arguments. It's about refusing to let bad arguments replace accountability. That’s the job!

There is massive exploitation of students currently going on at Abia State University.

Students are being forced to sort almost all courses or they will fail. Exam scripts are only marked when students sort with N5000.

They have extremely horrible lecturers.

This must stop!

@OgadenSoldier For @GovernmentZA to allow this to go on for so long without any decisive action to stop it and arrest all championing this stupidity, means the government is sponsoring it and are active accomplices.

During the Nigerian Civil War, many Igbo people fled cities like Lagos, leaving behind houses and property. Alex Ekwueme (then a young architect) left his house in Apapa.

His neighbour, Otunba Subomi Balogun, a banker did not seize the property. Instead, he removed intruders from the house, renovated it and rented it out while Ekwueme was away.
He carefully kept all the rent proceeds.
When the war ended and Ekwueme returned, Balogun handed back the house to him and gave him a full envelope of all the rent collected
Ekwueme was reportedly shocked, because many others lost their properties during that period.

About a decade later, Ekwueme became Vice President under President Shehu Shagari (Second Republic, 1979–1983). Subomi Balogun wanted to establish his own bank but faced significant hurdles at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Officials resisted because it was unprecedented for a private Nigerian citizen to own a commercial bank without foreign partners; there were also political suspicions (some alleged he might use it to finance certain politicians).

After failing to get traction through official channels, Balogun turned to his old friend. One Sunday after Church Service, he and his wife "cornered" Ekwueme at the Cathedral Church in Marina, Lagos. They physically grabbed Ekwueme and his wife's clothing to get past security and plead their case.

Ekwueme listened, reassured him, and instructed him to come to the Federal Executive Council meeting he would preside over (as Shagari was absent).
That very Thursday, the Finance Minister called Balogun to confirm that the license had been approved on Ekwueme's instruction.
This paved the way for FCMB and reportedly opened doors for other indigenous banks.

Balogun later opened an FCMB branch in Ekwueme's hometown of Oko (Anambra State) in continuation of their friendship.

We love ourselves, it is the politicians that are dividing us.
