Video evidence contradicts TVC senior journalist @BabajideOtitoju’s claim that he never said Nigeria’s refineries were working.
A vocal defender of the Tinubu administration, Otitoju often faces backlash over his views, with some even suggesting he’d make a better presidential spokesperson. The video speaks for itself.
Anti-party activities are knocking in Kaiama-Barutein federal constituency except the needful is quickly done by allowing people to exercise their right to elect their candidates.

@naziakhan455 The Arab world and entire Muslim ummah in world should act to end the abuse of humanity. Urging these nation is mere call that can't bit.
The Chief of Defence Staff and other military heads have been directed to relocate to Sokoto by Minister of State Defense, the headquarters for the General Officer Commanding that oversees Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, and Kebbi states.
In the relocation is part of the Federal Government's focused initiative to eliminate the threats of banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism in the North West region,
According to statement Matawalle, the Chief of Defence Staff, and other military leaders, there will be a significant operation launched in Sokoto aimed at eliminating bandits in the North West.
The statement reads: “The Honourable Minister of State for Defence H.E Dr Bello Muhammed Matawalle MON has expressed his sadness over the activities of terrorists and Bandits terrorizing Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and kebbi States and its environs.
“Consequent to this the Honourable Minister of State has directed the Chief of Defence Staff and other military chiefs to move to Sokoto which is the Headquarters of the GOC Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and kebbi states with him as part of an intensified effort by the Federal Government to rid the North West of the menace of banditry, kidnapping and terrorism.
“This strategic move underscores the unwavering commitment of the government to restoring peace and security in the region. While in the North West, they will supervise operations and ensure that Bello Turji and his Bandits gang are flushed out.
“These criminal Bandits have been circulating videos of a Nigerian military Armoured vehicle that was stuck in a water-logged area and late in the night the officers were asked to withdraw to avoid being ambushed by bandits, later in the night the bandits went to the water-logged area, recording video of the Armoured vehicle that was stuck and celebrating it. This incident happened in Kwashabawa, Zurmi local government Area of Zamfara state. This is not acceptable as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR has been giving great support to the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
“The Federal Government is deeply concerned about the persistent threat posed by banditry and terrorism in the North West particularly. We are ready to deploy all necessary assets to ensure that these criminal elements are flushed out and peace is restored to our communities, Dr Matawalle stated. We must move against these terrorists to enable our people to move freely.
“The time is up for these bandits and terrorists as increased and consistent operations will weaken all their bases.
Matawalle hereby calls on the Armed forces of Nigeria to flush out the bandits and terrorists as his presence in the North West will ginger our armed forces.
“Matawalle further assured the people of Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara, kebbi states and the entire North West region that the security forces will not leave any stone unturned until they flush out the bandits.
I will be on the ground in the North West with the CDS and other military chiefs, leading our brave men and women in uniform.
“In addition, the Honourable Minister of State for Defence also called on the people of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and kebbi states to remain vigilant and cooperate with the Security forces and he reiterated the Federal Government's resolve to protect the lives and properties of all Nigerians, emphasizing that the security and well-being of the people remain the government's top priority.”
@HQNigerianArmy There is urgent needs to engage with Kaiama community area of KLNP, to curtail the grow threat of the non-state actors that in control of some villages and collaborators to avoid devastating insecurities in the area.
It'll be interesting for army command shld visit Kaiama area of the KLNP.
The security threat in that area if allow to snowball wl be catastrophic as some villages are under the control of non-state actors.
@renoomokri 5. The article's tone is condescending and divisive, blaming victims of a flawed system rather than offering constructive solutions. A more nuanced and empathetic approach is necessary to address the complex issue of unemployment in Nigeria.
@renoomokri 4. Your article perpetuates harmful stereotypes by implying that Nigerian youths are lazy and unwilling to acquire skills. This is far from the truth. Many Nigerian graduates are eager to work and contribute to the economy but face significant barriers.
@renoomokri 3.entire fields of study as "dead courses," which is unfair and inaccurate. Sociology, philosophy, and other social sciences are essential for understanding society, governance, and human behavior. They have practical applications in policy-making, research, and social work.
@renoomokri 2. Limited access to quality education and vocational training; Inadequate infrastructure and enabling environment for businesses to thrive; Corruption and cronyism in the job market. Brain drain and talent flight due to unfavorable economic conditions
He went ahead dismissing.
@renoomokri 1.Reno Omokri's you oversimplifies the complex issue of unemployment in Nigeria. While it's true that skills mismatch contributes to unemployment, it's not the sole cause..
The article neglects other significant factors such as: Lack of job opportunities in various sectors;
