APC and their shrewd politics. 😂 The chairman of APC is out telling the media that Fubara was screened and he withdrew himself. Meanwhile, Wike is telling the media that Fubara cannot serve beyond one term, it was part of the agreement with Tinubu before stopping the impeachment process. In APC, they dashed Fubara a bag of salt and still invoked rain for him.

A guy moved into my compound 2 years ago. He hardly goes out, so everyone assumed he was a yahoo boy. Everything he needs is home service. A barber comes to cut his hair at home, a laundry woman comes to wash his clothes, everything. You hardly ever see him outside. It was just two weeks ago I finally got to know his name when he came to ask me for the landlord’s contact. We got talking and I asked him, “Bros, you’re a remote worker, right?” He laughed and said he’s a Snapchat creator. Then he showed me one of his accounts and told me he makes content for OnlyFans creators abroad and earns close to $4,000 every month. Omorh... All this while, I genuinely thought he was a yahoo boy.

Today, I rounded off my visitation around the Six Area Councils with a visit to the State Secretariat to have a productive and strategic meeting with the State leadership. #AishaForSenate #AishaForABetterFCT

Now that the court has cleared Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election today, if he Jonathan comes out to declare his intentions to contest for president, David Hundeyin will appear from nowhere boldly to push for Jonathan's candidacy. Don't be surprised, or deceived when that happens. Remember Pidom told you this in advance. Goodluck Jonathan was in Ghana last year. His 2027 presidential ambition was discussed and David Hundeyin was contracted. So don't be surprised when it happens.

Dear NDC @NigeriaNDCHQ, you need a fearless spokesperson. An Articulate, bold, eloquent, and intelligent spokesman who can look at the INEC chairman on his face, and address his shenanigans. A spokesman who can call Tinubu who and what he is (Mr failure personified) A spokesman who can boldly and fearlessly talk about insecurity in the country, and also challenge the economic and poverty situation in Nigeria. A spokesman who can defend the NDC in public without looking at the books. A spokesman who can call the government in power and the opposition to order. A spokesman who can handle the media and publicity wing of the NDC properly. A spokesman who can fight dirty online and offline, even on the mainstream and print media to dispel fake news, misinformation and disinformation against the NDC. We need this spokesperson ASAP, and we need him fast. INEC is currently in bed with the APC and the government in power. Someone needs to call out their shenanigans in public. Please share this message and tag NDC leadership until they act.

Sowore entered a university hall where our students were to have their lecture, & declared himself a consensus candidate. SUG President should pity us. Have mercy upon on us! 🙏😭

Justice Crack met with Mr. Peter Obi during the NDC aspirants’ dinner last night in Abuja.

I have said it so many times that the Joash Amupitan led INEC is more comfortable taking the position of a political party, rather than an unbiased umpire that has been called to give the nation a credible election. So, as of yesterday, INEC had filed 9 grounds of appeal against the judgment of Justice Umar of the Federal High Court, which was given in favour of the Youth Party and nullified the earlier guidelines that restricted political actors from defecting after the May 10 deadline imposed by INEC. INEC did not only file an appeal, it also filed an application for a Stay of Execution of the judgment pending the determination of its own appeal. My main concern is not even the speed of light with which INEC rushed to file this appeal instead of concentrating on the greater task ahead. My real concern, the one that truly unsettles me, is the application for a Stay of Execution that accompanied the appeal. From my understanding, the judgment of Justice Umar was a declaratory judgment and ought not to be disturbed through the legal shield of a Stay of Execution. A declaratory judgment simply states the legal position. It does not require coercive enforcement or execution. That is why a Stay of Execution should never be deployed to defeat such a judgment. The primary reliefs granted to the Youth Party by Justice Umar are declaratory and self-executing in nature. The judgment merely proclaimed the legal state of affairs by declaring that INEC lacks the statutory power to abridge timeframes guaranteed by law. Justice Umar's order nullified a guideline and declared it void ab initio. In simple terms, there is no physical act or future action left to be stayed. The guidelines are already legally dead. How do you stay a pronouncement that has already altered a legal status? For example, if a court declares that my father is my father, do I need any further act to make that declaratory judgment effective? Certainly not. Such a declaration takes effect immediately. A Stay of Execution cannot stop my father from being my father unless a superior court sets that judgment aside. That is the point I am struggling to make. INEC's application for a Stay of Execution appears fundamentally and legally flawed because, by seeking such a stay, the Commission is effectively asking for judicial permission to continue enforcing an administrative timetable that a court has expressly ruled to be inconsistent with the Electoral Act 2026. If such a stay is granted, political parties could be compelled to comply with an invalidated May 10 deadline while the appeal lingers in court. The practical effect would be the destruction of their statutory right to a 120-day window guaranteed by law. Even more troubling is the precedent it would create. It would mean that an administrative guideline already pronounced unlawful by a competent court can continue to operate simply because the authority responsible for it has chosen to appeal. In my humble view, the balance of convenience tilts heavily in favour of allowing the law of the land to stand as declared by the court until an appellate court says otherwise. Anything short of that risks elevating administrative convenience above statutory rights and judicial pronouncements. I am Ekene Aninze Esq.

I will not be attending the announcement of the ADC Presidential Election Results today. I am concerned by reports from across the country of widespread vote rigging, some of which I myself observed, and will therefore be taking advice on my next steps.

You could see the genuine happiness on Peter Obi’s face after Justice Crack was finally released. Beyond the politics, it was a human moment. A man who was detained simply for speaking up about the welfare of soldiers finally regained his freedom, and Peter Obi quietly played a role behind the scenes in making that happen. What touched me even more was how he stayed in contact with Justice’s wife throughout that difficult period, encouraging her and giving her hope when things seemed uncertain and even offered financial support in his own little way. For me, moments like this say a lot about the kind of leadership Nigeria deserves. A country where citizens are not punished for asking questions, criticizing the government, or demanding better living conditions. A country where freedom of speech is respected and the rule of law actually means something. If there’s one thing this moment showed, it’s that Peter Obi believes no Nigerian should be left behind or silenced for using their voice. #NigeriaWillBeOk

Dear NDC @NigeriaNDCHQ, if you like speak up, if you also like, keep shut. But let me inform you today that INEC @inecnigeria is silently perfecting APC'S advance rigging plans for 2027. INEC did not release the number of registered members of any political party in Nigeria, neither did they upload same on their website until yesterday. A Federal high court recently gave a judgement where it barred INEC from enforcing a useless clause in the electoral act, where a fraudulent time limit of above 120 days was unconstitutionally infused by INEC to stop political parties from registering new members, and to hand twist them to submit their party's register before the stipulated constitutionally approved timeline. After the APC conducted her Nollywood scripted skit of a presidential primary on Saturday 23rd of may 2026, with fictitious figures springing up from left, right and center across the country which gave Tinubu that impossible 10,999,162 imaginary APC votes, it attracted backslashes and high level criticism both locally and internationally. To save face and legitimize APC'S fraudulent figures, INEC hurriedly ran to the court of appeal yesterday 25th of may 2026, to appeal that Federal High court judgement which barred them from enforcing that fraudulent unconstitutional clause in the electoral act, that they intended to use in stopping new party membership registration, and to enforce the submission of party register 120 days before the general election. Their target is solely towards the opposition parties, most especially the NDC, as demonstrated in their recent actions. After filing their appeal yesterday, INEC immediately released the figures of registered members of each political party to the public, and uploaded it on their website. Below is the list, as released by INEC. APC 12,897,723 registered members PDP 2, 487,000 registered members ADC 1, 655,890 registered members LP: 1,300,390 registered members. NDC: 700,789 registered members. INEC released this list, and went further to upload same on her website, even when there is a recent federal high court judgement which stopped them from concluding registration of new party membership 120 days before the general election, and that ruling has not been VACANTED by any court of superior jurisdiction. (Court of Appeal) Yet INEC went ahead to release the list of registered members of each political party. (Which means INEC have stopped the registration of members into any political party 120 days before election, against what the constitution stipulates) which is rightfully supposed to be in September 2026. What is INEC's reason in all of these? The truth is INEC and the APC never expected such level of criticism and backlashes from Nigerians and international electoral observers over the fictitious/outrageous figures recorded for Tinubu in their just concluded APC presidential skit. It was so embarrassing when videos of their Kangaroo arithmetics/manipulated votes dominated the social media space worldwide. Since it is a prelude of what they had planned in advance for the 2027 election rigging strategy, INEC had no other choice than to release the list of registered members of all major political parties, even against a standing court judgement, just to justify that APC truly registered 12,897,723 members, so the Tinubu's 10,999,162 Kangaroo votes is justified, no matter how fictitious we see it. They are also telling us that PDP had just 2,487,000 members, ADC registered 1,655,890 members, LP registered 1,300,390 members, and most especially NDC registered only 700,789 members. So Nigerians should not be surprised when they announce 15 million votes for Tinubu, and one million votes for Peter Obi, it is justified. They will claim that people are not interested in NDC, that they only had 700,789 registered members. NDC shine your eyes, Peter Obi is the target in all these INEC and APC shenanigans. They are testing the waters for the 2027 rigging

Kudos to the NDC Screening Committee for pulling off a solid exercise despite tight timelines. I’m encouraged to see character, competence, credibility & capacity upheld as leadership benchmarks. The journey to quality representation for Idemili North & South continues.

Your public speaking skills are undercooked because you are always trying to sound smart. YOU ARE ALREADY SMART. Just communicate your thoughts in the simplest way and form possible. Just the way I did with this tweet. Relax!

There’s a secret people have been using to buy homes in Lagos. Some of you already know but not taking advantage. I’ve talked about it before. It’s called Mreif . The government is willing to finance you with up to 100M in mortgage to buy your home. And you can service it for up to 20 years . Just have your equity. Find a property that matches your income The property must also have a valid title You’re good. Ask your big boys and girls that earn well in banks, some of them are landlords already. It’s real, I have closed sales with this. And it’s open to Nigerians in diaspora too. Embrace it .

I was thinking LAPO was dead as a result of the coming of digital lending banks. But then I looked properly. While everybody was chasing apps, flashy interfaces, instant loans and fintech hype, LAPO quietly kept building something many digital lenders still don’t truly have, deep grassroots trust. The woman selling tomatoes in a rural market may not know how to navigate five fintech apps, but she knows LAPO. The small business owner in a local community who cannot produce perfect digital records still knows LAPO. The bike rider, tailor, food vendor, and market trader who traditional banks ignored for years still know LAPO. This is something many people in tech underestimate: Nigeria is not only digital. Nigeria is also physical, local, relationship-driven and community-based. A lot of digital lenders optimized for urban smartphone users. LAPO optimized for human presence. And that matters. Fintech brought speed. But LAPO built familiarity, accessibility and behavioral understanding over decades. That’s not easy to replace.

This was my 30-ton-per-day rice processing factory building. When we started the construction in 2020, a bag of cement was around ₦3k, and within months, it moved to ₦5,500. And we bought a full truckload [2 trucks in total] for the building project. We completed the factory, built a 10k-capacity poultry pen, a 10k-capacity fish pen, and 6 rooms of staff quarters and office. By the time we were done, our rice processing machine was trapped in China due to the COVID-19 lockdown. When it finally arrived in Nigeria? I chose the wrong port [Onne Port in Rivers State], and the machine was seized by customs officers. According to them, they were suspecting the container to have loaded firearms [funny set of people]. So, they broke the container, opened the boxes, and saw only my rice processing machine. It was closed back. It was time to release the container, right? Story that if I share with you, you’ll cry blood. I cried and paid unnecessary bills in that port before they finally released the machine. When it finally arrived in Makurdi that particular night, the drivers were insisting we offload at midnight🙈 I told them it was not possible. All my staff were sleeping by now, and we could not get them to come there. So, they slept. The next morning. It was time to offload the container, right? As the truck was driving to an Industrial Layout in Makurdi where we were to offload, ALL the jobless youths in Makurdi followed behind on bikes. When they arrived, they demanded we pay ₦250k before offloading anything on Benue soil. Bro, I am a Benue boy ooooh. A younger boy [I was less than 30 then] building a business in this country. Guess what? We had no choice but to pay those boys cash. Though we negotiated, begged, and paid less than ₦200k. Then, we offloaded the machines. I was extremely happy😍😍😍 The event that followed? I will share later. Difficulties continued. Here is the lesson I want you to get today. “As an entrepreneur in Nigeria, many times, you’ll spend more money and time fighting external battles than internal ones that you know well” ✍🏻 Unstable prices of inputs ✍🏻 Settling useless street boys ✍🏻 Battling extortion from government regulatory bodies ✍🏻 And more. You can know your business A-Z and still fail due to external battles you were not prepared for. It is like that for every entrepreneur in Nigeria, including Alhaji Aliko Dangote. You watched his external battles recently with regulatory bodies. You see this Agriculture? I know it very well. Is not pride. I was born as a farmer. But I am learning to beat those external demons programmed into the systems in this country. And I MUST win them. You have to learn how to win them too my brother. Good luck. Stay connected. I will tell you what happened after the installation of the 30-ton-per-day rice processing machine in my factory that year. See you soon. #BillionaireFarmer

Fidelity Bank donated N592b in 2025 for the distribution of Raw Food packs to underserved communities across the country in Rivers, Osun, Imo, Lagos, Niger, Abuja, Kano, Anambra and Benue States.

Cosmos Maduka, chairman of Coscharis, once owned a 25% stake in Access Bank. He served on the board from 2000 to 2012. Then he guaranteed a ₦21 billion loan from Access Bank for Ifeanyi Ubah’s Capital Oil. The petroleum never came. The money never came back. AMCON paid ₦16 billion as final settlement. Maduka swallowed the ₦5 billion shortfall plus over ₦6 billion in interest. One signature on a guarantee cost him ₦11 billion.

When I found out I was pregnant here in Portugal 🇵🇹, the doctor gave me a document called “Abono.” At first, I didn’t even understand what it was 😅 Later, I realised it was proof of pregnancy needed to apply for a monthly government benefit. To my surprise, expectant mothers here can receive monthly financial support starting from around the 13th week of pregnancy until the baby is born. Coming from Nigeria where pregnancy is usually 100% the responsibility of the woman and her family, this honestly shocked me. It made me feel so seen and supported as a mum 🤎 Mums abroad, did you receive any pregnancy or antenatal support where you live?
