On the day he was retiring, Terry McGarry, a legendary journalist known for his coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, stood in the newsroom and left his colleagues with these words: "This can be an honourable profession - if you are an honourable person."

Just learnt these new airport parking fees were introduced few weeks ago. A nearly 200% increase in car parking fees and no one uttered a sound.

@adedapo11 He never pushes the ball forward, the most defensive-minded full back in modern football.

If the justification for selecting Hincapie over MLS against City was Semenyo, what is the reason today? Murphy? @adedapo11

As a boy, I heard how he went to buy a trailer of cement for the company he worked. At the factory, price crashed. He bought at the new price and returned the bal. His boss told him he'd never be rich. I thought he was dumb. As a man, I find myself behaving exactly like him.

As you grow older, you realize your father wasn't a hero or a villain. Just a man, doing his best with what he knew, living life for the first time too.

@adedapo11 @dondekojo I agree he is. Just saying he offers absolutely nothing going forward. At some point, you have to decide whether you want to defend or score. Right now, I think we need goals.

@CallMeBenfigo @dondekojo Hincapie is just a better defender. Got no help from Eze yesterday and still held his own.

Still wondering why Arteta picks Hincapie over Skelly. The former offers zero offensively, and the team needs goals.

@adedapo11 @dondekojo But young Skelly has weathered more vicious wingers. Besides, he appears to have dashed Hincapie that position.

The number of people accessing drugs to prevent HIV infection dropped from 43,000 in November 2024 to below 6,000 in April 2025, and condom distribution fell ​by 55%, according to the Civil Society for HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.

For several months last year, Josephine Angev walked the dusty village paths of Nigeria's Benue State with a mission - to help people living with HIV stay on their life-saving medication, after a U.S. aid freeze left thousands scrambling for supplies. reuters.com/business/healt…

Next in line is the Lagos chief judge. Let him build a Judicial Liaison Office in Abuja to strengthen the engagement of the judiciary at the Lagos and federal levels. Smh.
LagosHouseOfAssembly@lshaofficial

The Lagos State House of Assembly, under my leadership, has established a Legislative Liaison Office in Asokoro, Abuja, an important institutional bridge designed to strengthen engagement between Lagos State and key federal stakeholders. This Liaison Office represents more than a physical presence in the nation’s capital. It serves as a strategic hub for legislative coordination, policy alignment, intergovernmental relations, and effective advocacy on matters that impact the people of Lagos State. It ensures that the voice, interests, and developmental priorities of Lagos are consistently represented at the federal level. It is Lagos House. It is the House of Assembly’s extension. It is the People’s House. Above all, it stands as a House of Democracy, dedicated to deepening governance, fostering collaboration, and delivering greater value to our citizens. @mudashiru_obasa @followlasg

This morning, the @boltapp showed 5k, but the driver insisted he would collect 15k. Why? "Because of the calibre of the car." I checked: it was a Toyota Venza. I just cancelled.

Let's even assume that the journalist asked a dumb question, does that warrant talking to him in that manner? Utter gutter behaviour from a supposed people's governor.

One.of my followers here helped with buying this Akwete straight from the weavers in Abia some years ago. I don't remember his name nor can find the messages we exchanged during the transaction. Please contact me if you're the one. Thank you.

What gives me happiness is not money. Definitely not fame — it’s actually really boring, to be honest. What gives me bliss is going back home to Nigeria, or walking on the street in Istanbul, and I am just wearing my hoodie like normal, and I am still ME.
