“Over sabi” should lowkey not be an insult. Most times, it’s just someone doing more than the bare minimum. Somewhere along the line, a generation decided that was a bad thing.

@yikesventures @chudy_jnr Match fixing no pass like this

@chudy_jnr This was the reason for the action, though it was extreme but the referee is maddd

How is this fair in football? How can you intentionally do this to someone who came to enjoy the game just like you? How can you straight-up murder someone's son without remorse? Now he is dead and you are claiming it was a collision💔

7:00 AM: You are the Inspector General’s golden boy. Sirens are clearing the chaotic Lagos traffic just for you. You have handshakes from the Presidency, a chest full of medals, and the media calling you a national hero. You are untouchable. 4:00 PM: You are stripped to your boxers, sitting on a freezing concrete floor that reeks of damp walls, ancient sweat, and urine. You have not been convicted of a single crime. Under Section 36(5) of the 1999 Constitution, you are legally as innocent as a newborn baby. Yet, the heavy iron gate of Kuje slams shut with a hollow, echoing thud. "BAIL DENIED." Meet Nnamdi. For 12 years, he was the undisputed star of the force. The legendary super-cop who hunted down ruthless kidnappers, smashed billionaire drug cartels, and solved the cases nobody else dared to touch. But then, Nigeria happened. A high-profile cartel bust goes south. Whispers turn into terrifying allegations. Is it cutthroat politics? A brutal, calculated setup? Or genuine guilt? Nobody knows. The public is guessing, the media is feasting, and the actual trial hasn’t even started. In court, Nnamdi’s Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) stand up. They adjust their heavy silk gowns, twist their mouths to speak flawless, high-brow British English, and hurl complex Latin maxims into the air. They scream about constitutional liberties. They thump their chests over the "Presumption of Innocence!" The courtroom goes dead silent. You can hear a pin drop. The judge slowly adjusts his glasses, clears his throat with agonizing deliberation, and drops a 10-ton judicial sledgehammer: “This application for bail is hereby refused. The defendant is to be remanded in custody.” Just like that, Nnamdi is marched out in handcuffs. But the real horror begins when he steps into the cell block. The worst part isn't the suffocating 10x10 room or the heat. It’s the faces. The notorious armed robbers and cartel bosses Nnamdi personally hunted down and locked up over the last five years are sitting just two cells down. And they are staring at him. Smiling. “Welcome home, Officer.” His health is rapidly failing. His family is shattered. His hard-earned reputation is permanently dragged through the mud. And because of the agonizingly slow wheels of Nigerian justice, this trial will drag on for the next four years. If the court finally looks at the evidence in 2030 and shouts "NOT GUILTY," who pays for the stolen years? Who restores his ruined life? Who pieces his family back together? Nobody. This fictional nightmare is the exact, high-stakes reality playing out on the judicial tightrope of Abba Kyari v FRN (2026) LPLR 83848 (CA). If the fundamental pillar of our legal system truly says you are innocent until proven guilty, why does the Court have the power to enforce the ultimate punishment before a single witness testifies? Has bail remained a constitutional shield, or has it been weaponized into a political tool? We are going to completely dismantle the legal technicalities, the executive undertones, and the terrifying implications this Court of Appeal decision holds for every ordinary Nigerian. Don't just watch the headlines.

@UsmanAbidemiEsq Aspiring SAN. Even the sharing of this video is in bad taste. Also nothing wrong with smoking cigarettes. Your morality isn’t his and the law doesn’t criminalize it. Let’s not lose focus and overreach. The real problems still choke

Is this real? Ah I have heard cases of some lawyers drinking alcohol and smoking before court proceedings but I have never witnessed it firsthand. I just hope this is not real.

You need to be a visionary, at least for your own life. I recently realised that every other person does not have the ability to create a mental picture of their future, hold on to it and work towards it regardless of their present circumstances. It was my wife who pointed this out to me. She said some people cannot lead even themselves. instead, they’re loyal followers. They need to be told what to do. They can vaguely describe their future, but lack the ability to formalise it and create an actionable plan, let alone the commitment and consistency to execute that plan. For people like this, I think it makes sense to find a visionary with similar interests and follow in their footsteps. I do think finding that visionary is more difficult than leading yourself, but it is better than leaving everything to chance. Some people would have turned out differently if they had someone else who showed them that it is possible to get a job in NNPC, scholarships abroad, etc, without 'connections'. Since they can’t imagine a better life for themselves, their actions/inactions are motivated by incentives, not vision. It took a while for me to believe my wife because it’s hard to even imagine that some human beings live like this. You hear them say things like "school na scam" or use criminals like internet fraudsters as references in their arguments because to them, incentives are all that matters. They cannot create their own world in their mind, so they reach out to what they consider the 'real world', observe and adopt behaviours the 'real world' rewards. These are the people who want to study medicine, law or engineering, and more recently want to become software engineers because in the 'real world', there are incentives to pursue these career paths. It is the same explanation for people who have explored UI/UX design, forex, crypto, sports betting, social media influencing, etc, all in their 20s. It looks like hard work, but it isn’t.

Gun to your head, name one player who has played for all there clubs.

When the state is weak, society needs families to be strong. When the state is strong, you can afford weak families because there will be social safety nets. But even then, strong families compound the advantage of strong states, while weak families get by. What I don't understand is how in a country like Nigeria where the state is already in dire straits, you also see people advocating weak families. It's like you people don't want to get out of the mess, at this rate. Strong family ties have helped us skate by. If we also lose that on top of the existing situation, it's gonna be a deadly day.

The Judicial Service Commission in Imo State is brewing a scandal at the instigation of the State Governor, @Hope_Uzodimma1. A senior judge from the state serving somewhere in Abuja is part of this scandal, as are some #SANs from the State. Last week, the Commission purported to produce a shortlist of 2 candidates for the position of Chief Judge of the State. It did not say when it began the process or how. One of the 2 candidates is Justice Ononeze-Madu who became a judge in 2008. The other one is Justice Agada who is actually too infirm at this time. In actuality, this is a "shortlist" of 1. The Commission claims that it has done the shortlist in order of seniority. The mystery is that they have excluded the Ag. Chief Judge, Ijeoma Agugua. Appointed in 1993 as a judge, she is senior to the next to her by 11 years as a judge. She has been passed over for the position of Chief Judge at least 3 times. Hope Uzodinma & his agents have a #RumourMill designed to making her. But her record with @njcNig is clean. A judge whose official record is without blemish should not suffer this kind of concerted effort to tarnish her. But that has not stopped them from doing it. The conclusion is clearly that the politicians are afraid of a woman whom they consider too independent & not malleable to their will. They would rather have as Chief Judge, a person whom they can instruct. This scandal instructed by Hope Uzondinma is a test for the current Chief Justice of #Nigeria. We will watch diligently to see whether the #CJN & @njcNig will be willing to defend judicial seniority & the integrity of a judge whose record is clean.

Good news: Dr. Iheukwumere Ikechukwu of the Department of Microbiology at COOU has been sacked by the Governing Council of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University. He sexually abused students and engaged in different forms of misconduct. Four other academic staff members were also sacked, including two professors. We are restoring integrity in our universities, which will in turn improve the quality of our graduates.

You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say By all means, have Principles and Standards.

They really took road trips away from us in Nigeria, as a child i enjoyed road trips to the east, they were fun and i looked forward to it and this government stole that from us.

I have noticed a trend on Twitter lately. Some Bar aspirants and young lawyers relate with senior lawyers in a manner that is not exactly polite. I will not outrightly call it rude because, in some cases, the intention may not even be to disrespect anyone. However, the manner of approach and communication often comes off wrongly. Let me also be clear that I understand that some senior colleagues on this timeline may not have handled certain situations perfectly too. None of us is perfect. I am not perfect myself. This tweet is not intended to attack or insult anyone. It is simply about communication and conduct between young lawyers and senior lawyers on the internet. As far as the legal profession is concerned, seniority at the Bar is taken seriously. The profession naturally demands mutual respect among colleagues regardless of age. In fact, the Rules of Professional Conduct, 2023 made provisions on how lawyers should relate with one another under Rules 26, 27, 28 and 29. The same RPC also provides for proper conduct in the courtroom. The reason is not far-fetched. The legal profession is a noble one and the expectations are high. A lawyer is expected to conduct himself properly everywhere, both offline and online. It is unethical and unprofessional to behave in a manner that goes against the spirit and letters of the RPC. Our profession is meant for honorable and respected members of society. This is why I find it strange when I see some fellow young lawyers, undergraduate law students, and even Bar aspirants speaking to lawyers online without any form of respect. The internet is not an opportunity to insult your colleagues or speak carelessly. We really need to learn how to use social media properly. Please, always conduct yourself well online. Use the internet wisely. You can network with colleagues here. You can collaborate with people here. We have even seen lawyers secure jobs and opportunities through social media. I personally received a law school scholarship of 500k on Twitter when I was preparing for law school. A senior colleague I will not tag here for the sake of privacy supported me despite the fact that he has never meet me physically. Till today, we haven’t met physically. That is one of the benefits of social media. It gives you access and opportunities. What you choose to do with that platform will determine what you get from it. If you are a Bar aspirant, undergraduate law student, or lawyer, learn to be humble and polite. Do not known as a rude person. Always be on your best behaviour. Relate with lawyers and non-lawyers reasonably and respectfully. Do not let Twitter likes and retweets mislead you. The temporary attention you get online will not take you anywhere. There are senior lawyers on this App who are principal partners, successful practitioners, and highly respected people in the profession. Most of them don’t not engage with us, but they observe and pay attention to how people behave online. Your digital footprint is just as important as your personality offline. The legal profession is not for proud, rude, or mannerless people. Character will take you very far in life and in this profession. Your knowledge of the law will mean little if you are not worthy in character. This profession demands both competence and good character. Thank you. Usman A. Lanase Esq. 10-06-2026.

Why is the South East Commission paying rent and expenses in Abuja when it has no functional office in the South East? This is not good enough

We must bring Mele Kyari either dead or alive to this Senate to account for his alleged crime that runs into trillions of naira. Where did he get the money to pay for his medical bill in Germany? Kyari is no longer CEO of NNPC, he cannot be represented by an official of the NNPC - Senator Oshiomhole blows hot, calls for arrest of the former NNPC CEO Mele Kyari, and the current NNPC CEO Bayo Ojulari.
