In 1966, Charles Kao made a discovery in fiber optics: he calculated how to transmit light over long distances via optical glass fibers. Together with laser technology, his solution made telecommunication using optical fibers possible. #WorldTelecommunicationDay

“I knew I wanted to change something in the world. It just took some time before I knew what that would be.” Esther Duflo was awarded the 2019 prize in economic sciences for her work fighting poverty. She is the youngest person ever to be awarded the prize.

Nigerian universities must stop being certificate factories. Every university should be judged by: Research that solves national problems Graduate employability Industry partnerships Student innovation Integrity of exams Quality of teaching Startup creation Patents and practical outputs. A university that cannot solve one serious local problem in its host community should be ashamed. Every Nigerian child must leave school with the ability to think, build, communicate, earn, and serve.

To My Fellow Nigerians: I Care Nothing for Your Religion or Tribe — I Care About Justice A generation of criminals is attempting to hijack the Nigerian state and establish permanent family dynasties. I have lived long enough to say I have never seen anything so brazen — and I will not be silent. By Kio Amachree · President, Worldview International · Stockholm Let me be direct. I do not care what religion you follow or which tribe you come from. What I care about is this: a determined group of criminals is working to seize the Nigerian state — to plunder it, to hollow it out, and to install their families as its permanent rulers. The Tinubus. The Chagourys. Eternal lords of a country that belongs to all of us. I do not know which juju man told Bola Tinubu he was the chosen one — but he should ask for a full refund and return those amulets immediately. And as for Gilbert Chagoury: did he genuinely believe he could return and plunder Nigeria a second time, undetected? He learned nothing from the Swiss money laundering conviction. Nothing from the shadow he cast over the Abacha years, aiding and abetting one of the most vicious episodes of state plunder in our history. I have been around Nigeria since before Independence. I have lived a long and eventful life, and I swear to you — as a son of this country — I have never encountered such a brazen collection of criminals in all my years. One thinks, at a certain point, that one has seen it all. And then you dig deeper. And what you find shocks you every time. I am an African. I believe in our ancestors. And my ancestors are telling me — clearly, insistently — to end this nonsense by every means available. Expose them. Humiliate them in the court of global public opinion. Let the Nigerian people know exactly what is being done to them. And let the Western powers know as well: those powerful men I went to Eton with who now shape the United Kingdom and much of Europe; those who passed through the Wharton School of Business alongside everyone from Donald Trump and Elon Musk to the corridors of the State Department and the halls of Congress — my fraternity brothers in positions of consequence. They will hear this. I am not running for office. I do not want to become an ambassador. I am not seeking government contracts. I want justice. I want peace. I want a good life for my people — and Nigerians are my people. No one else comes close. I have no fear of these men. My ancestors are not asleep. I understand now, with full clarity, what my life has been for — the exposure I have had since the moment my father was appointed Solicitor-General of Nigeria. I am not an ordinary Nigerian citizen. I am weaponised to do precisely this work. And I will do it to the very best of my abilities: to restore sanity, security, and wealth to Nigeria — the kind of security and prosperity I witnessed in the good years of the oil boom, when this country's future felt limitless. I wish you all well. And I call on every activist who loves Nigeria: begin making life difficult for the Chagourys. Make it uncomfortable. Make it costly. Do not relent until they hand back the coastal highway contract, return the coastline, and surrender the award that Tinubu had no right to confer on Gilbert Chagoury. I rest my case. — Kio Amachree #NigeriaDeservesBetter #ExposeTheDynasty #ChagouryMustGo #TinubuAccountability #CoastalHighwayScandal #DiasporaForJustice #NigerianVoices #WorldviewInternational #EndStatePlunder #JusticeForNigeria #AfricanLeadership #NigeriaFirst #KioSolution

Plateau state politics is really something interesting. They did it for dariye They did it for baba Jang They did it for lalong They did it for Nentawe They did it for Gagdi. Who is next?!

GOOD NEWS Yusuf Adamu Gagdi lost his bid for a third term in the House of Representatives to John Tongshinen in the APC primary election for the Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency seat.

THE STATE OF NIGERIA v. THE SHADOW PRESIDENCY OLUWASEYI TINUBU: WHAT HE HAS DONE TO A NATION #SeyiTinubu #NigeriaUnderSiege #ShadowPresident #AccountabilityNow #EndImpunity #NigeriaDeservesBetter He holds no elected office. He swears no oath of service. He answers to no constitutional authority. And yet Oluwaseyi Tinubu exercises power over the lives of two hundred and twenty million Nigerians as though the Republic were his personal inheritance. What follows is not allegation by political enemies. It is documented, leaked, litigated, and damning. THE CORRUPTION OF PUBLIC CONTRACTS Leaked corporate documents from an investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists established that Seyi Tinubu co-owned an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands with Ronald Chagoury Jr., son of billionaire tycoon Ronald Chagoury — at the precise moment that a $13 billion contract to build the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway was awarded, without a public bidding process, to Hitech Construction Company, a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group. Since President Bola Tinubu took office, one man — Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire with a criminal record for money laundering — has quietly collected more than $12.7 billion in federal contracts. And the President's son sits on the board of the contractor's subsidiary. Seyi sits on the board of CDK Integrated Industries, another subsidiary of the Chagoury Group. This means that while the President's son serves on the board of a company owned by the man collecting billions in federal contracts, that same son goes on television to tell Nigerians that his father is not in office to enrich himself or his friends. Most recently, Tinubu handed another $700 million to the Chagoury Group for the renovation of Lagos's two main seaports, Tin Can and Apapa — financed by a loan backed by Citibank Nigeria and UK Export Finance. Nigeria borrows the money. Chagoury collects the contract. The President's son sits on Chagoury's board. The circle is complete. THE FRAUD-TAINTED LONDON MANSION Bloomberg reported that Seyi Tinubu is the main shareholder of Aranda Overseas Corporation, a British Virgin Islands offshore company, which paid £9 million — approximately $10.8 million — to Deutsche Bank for a three-floor property in St. John's Wood, North London, complete with an eight-car driveway, two gardens, electric gates and a gym. The property was not merely expensive. It had previously been seized by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2016 as part of an investigation into Kola Aluko, a close associate of former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke, who was implicated in large-scale corruption. The Nigerian government was actively investigating the property. Seyi Tinubu's company acquired it in the middle of that investigation. He has been described as a "serial entrepreneur," yet it is not quite clear what his source of income is without the obvious connection to the public purse through his father. He bought three houses for cash in North London. On what declared income? From what disclosed source of funds? THE MONOPOLY BUILT ON HIS FATHER'S THRONE His advertising company, Loatsad Promomedia, has become a dominant player in Nigeria's outdoor advertising industry, with allegations that its rise was facilitated entirely by his father's political influence. When Bola Tinubu governed Lagos State, the city's streets became Seyi's commercial territory. When Bola Tinubu became President, the contracts followed the family northward to Abuja. This is not entrepreneurship. This is the conversion of state power into private revenue. THE WEAPONISATION OF STATE SECURITY This is where the story stops being about money. The National Association of Nigerian Students, with backing from Seyi Tinubu and operatives of the Department of State Services, was reported to be plotting an attack on human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore. According to sources familiar with the matter, covert meetings were held between Seyi Tinubu and NANS leaders to coordinate the attack, with the reported involvement of DSS operatives. In May 2025, the NANS President Atiku Isah was violently attacked by a faction loyal to Seyi Tinubu during his inauguration at The Wells Carlton Hotel in Abuja. He was macheted and nearly killed. Rather than arresting the perpetrators, DSS operatives whisked away the victim — Isah — from the clinic where he was receiving treatment for life-threatening injuries. Since they took him, his family heard nothing. No contact. No location. No access. Isah subsequently filed a lawsuit in the Federal High Court demanding N38.3 billion in damages, naming Seyi Tinubu, the DSS, and the NTA as respondents. Popular Nigerian commentator VeryDarkMan stated it plainly: "Seyi Tinubu is so influential and powerful that he can command the IGP and DSS boss. Anything Seyi likes, he can do." He added: "A threat to my life has been issued. If anything should happen to me and my close ones, hold Seyi Tinubu responsible. I don't feel safe." A private citizen — unelected, unaccountable, constitutionally invisible — is directing the secret police of Africa's most populous nation. This is not rumour. This is a sworn court filing. This is a citizen naming his assailant publicly and on record. THE SPECTACLE OF OBSCENE WEALTH AMID MASS SUFFERING Seyi Tinubu attracted public fury for acquiring a Richard Mille RM 055 watch worth $550,000 — roughly ₦825 million at the prevailing exchange rate — while Nigerians suffered under the weight of his father's economic policies. While he moved through Nigerian streets in a convoy befitting a head of state, a Brigadier-General was ambushed by ISWAP terrorists in Borno State, taken alive, and executed on video. All he had for escort was a handful of soldiers. No air cover. No rapid response team. Over 300 schoolchildren were abducted from St. Mary's Catholic School in Niger State; 165 remain in captivity. Thirty-eight worshippers were kidnapped from a church in Eruku, Kwara, during an evening service, and two were shot dead for resisting. He was further criticised for using a presidential jet to attend a polo match while many Nigerians struggled to feed. A presidential jet. For polo. In a country where soldiers share ten rifles to protect a hundred villages. THE SUPPRESSION OF DISSENT When Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem released a protest song called "Tell Your Papa," addressing Seyi Tinubu directly and calling on him to urge his father to address Nigeria's worsening crises, the Federal Government — through the National Broadcasting Commission — instructed radio and television stations not to air it. The government banned a song. Because it named the President's son. THE VERDICT OF HISTORY No man who holds no office should command the secret police, direct billions in state contracts to his business partners, shelter his wealth in offshore vehicles linked to fraud investigations, and silence artists who dare to sing his name. Nigeria did not elect Oluwaseyi Tinubu. Nigeria cannot remove him. Nigeria cannot audit him. There is no constitutional mechanism available to its citizens to hold him to account. That is the definition of a shadow presidency. And the shadow has grown darker than the state itself.

According to Reuters report, the dead ISIS second-in-command is a citizen of Nigeria. Omo, Islamic terrorism in Nigeria is grossly undereported.

The Irrepressible @ruffydfire 🙏🏽

BEING AN APC MEMBER OR SUPPORTING THE APC MUST BE REGARDED AS CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY The APC is filled with condemned criminals with no conscience and humanity in them. Just imagine, for four years, this is the only project that the Deputy Speaker of HoR, Benjamin Kalu, carried out in his constituency. Titled: "An ultra-modern conference and e-learning facility at Bende Secondary Grammar School, Bende, Abia State" The amount budgeted for this could build a modern university. But that's not even the main issue; it's that he has collected all the monies with this as the outcome.

@PO_GrassRootM Just as she said her husband's stolen but collapsing mandate will soon be over. Tufiakwa!!! What brazen audacity

“Stop referring to Nigeria as the most corrupt country. That era is over.” —Remi Tinubu warns Nigerians.

@SERAPNigeria @inecnigeria Thank you SERAP @SERAPNigeria for the good work you do...

BREAKING: We’ve urged Professor Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of @inecnigeria , to promptly, thoroughly, impartially, independently, transparently and effectively investigate the allegations that governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) diverted N800 billion for political and campaign purposes.   We urged him to request full disclosure from the governors and APC regarding the alleged contributions made to any dedicated campaign fund, including the identity of donors and the lawful origin of funds, and to provide the details to our organization.   We also urged him to urgently collaborate with appropriate anticorruption and law enforcement agencies to enforce applicable sanctions where violations are identified, including prosecution, fines and forfeiture of any unlawful contributions.   These allegations raise serious concerns about political finance transparency, electoral fairness, and the constitutional right of Nigerians to participate freely in their own government. The abuse of state resources for electoral advantage undermines democratic integrity and public trust. Fairness, transparency, and accountability in political or campaign finance are essential safeguards against corruption, state capture, and undue influence in democratic processes. Opaque political financing remains a major entry point for corruption and a threat to democratic legitimacy. Nigerians deserve to know who funds the candidates or political parties of their choice and any sources of any such funding. Read more: bit.ly/4nSsKdP

I'm Purely&Proudly Hausa by tribe brainwash&gaslights by Fulani I'm now awaked&rised2reclaim all our position took by Fulani I urge other tribes to support the Hausa people to reclaim their mandate across Hausaland so that Nigeria can be free from Fulani orlighachy & atrocities

@NobelPrize About the year 2015-17, I did similar work as Duflo by propounded what came to be known as the governance... Equation. On the back of the promise of this equation, I unsuccessfully tried to run for public office. With the Nobel win by her, it resurrected my belief in that work.

@obadipeemmanuel @CatiaKyen Dear Nigerian, just as the APC situation has proved, you can only trust Tinubu APC at your own peril. Any promise made by them is absolutely initio untenable. Their stolen mandate can't be relied upon. It's a collapsing mandate. #Nigerians rise up!

@CatiaKyen They were promised automatic tickets only to found out they were all deceived

Most of the politicians who rode the Peter Obi wave to victory in 2023, only to defect to the APC afterwards, all lost their seats during the APC primaries.😂

@CatiaKyen @LongjiBala The loss should not just be Labour party alone. Betrayal of electoral mandate should be punished across board. We should aim at sanitising the country itself, not just one party...

@LongjiBala Mutfwang was not in Labor Party sha

@CatiaKyen Please let try and make mutfung lose too

@CatiaKyen A very good development for #Nigerian democracy and a confirmation that every politician relying on Tinubu mandate is heading for a collapse... Governors, senators, beware!!!
