I spent 3 years studying why African startups fail. I interviewed founders. I read the post-mortems. I watched promising companies collapse. Here are 7 brutal truths nobody talks about: (This thread might save your startup)

So, according to this exclusive report by The Cable, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila wrote to the PSC requesting special promotion for eight police officers attached to politicians. This is how institutions are destroyed. A police officer serving diligently in Kaura Namoda will be denied a promotion because a colleague in Abuja serving a politician needs to be promoted. I can now see why many police officers are denied promotions with no justifiable reason. The President needs to call his Chief of Staff to order.

One expect APC and every other party to do everything possible not just to carry women along but to ensure that their interests are protected in electoral process. That’s what inclusion is. Words on the street say Simi won the APC House of Representatives primary for Ile-Oluji, Oke-Igbo, and Odigbo Federal Constituency of Ondo state. Why are some people trying to announce a different winner? Days after the primary, the party is yet to announce a winner. What is going on? 🤷🏽

I am profoundly honoured and deeply humbled by the overwhelming confidence reposed in me by members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), following my emergence as the party’s gubernatorial flag bearer for the 2027 Kaduna State Governorship Election. The resounding affirmation of my candidacy, reflected in the 459,393 votes cast in support of our shared vision, is far more than a political endorsement; it is a solemn expression of collective faith in the ideals of unity, responsible leadership, and inclusive progress that bind us together as a people. I extend my deepest gratitude to the leader of our great party and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, whose steadfast leadership and unwavering commitment to national renewal continue to inspire confidence across our nation. I equally acknowledge the National Working Committee of our party, respected stakeholders, delegates, youth and women groups, and the countless loyal party faithful across Kaduna State whose trust and solidarity have made this moment possible. This outcome renews our collective determination to redouble our efforts at building a Kaduna State defined by peace, security, economic vitality, social justice, and opportunity for all. I dedicate this victory to the resilient and dignified people of Kaduna State, and I reaffirm my commitment to serve with humility, fairness, courage, and compassion as we continue the important work of consolidating the gains achieved since 2023. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State May 21, 2026

It is quite revealing that certain paid media platforms have deliberately chosen to describe Ahmed Uthman as “Dikko’s in-law” rather than simply referring to him by his name. This strongly suggests an intentional effort to drag the Governor into a matter he has absolutely no connection with, while using sensational headlines and misleading narratives to influence public perception. The reports alleging that Ahmed Uthman was arrested over forex fraud are entirely false, misleading, and politically motivated. What is being circulated is nothing more than a coordinated smear campaign orchestrated by individuals threatened by his growing influence, success, and popularity, with the sole aim of damaging the reputation he has built over the years. For the record, there has been no official statement from the police, DSS, or any other security agency linking Ahmed Uthman to the allegations being spread by these media outlets. At no point was he arrested or investigated for forex fraud. The deliberate attempt by certain media organizations to distort a straightforward civil matter into allegations of financial crime is highly irresponsible, unethical, and deeply unprofessional. Journalism should be rooted in facts, credibility, integrity and not political bias, propaganda, or sponsored misinformation intended to tarnish reputations. I therefore urge the public to disregard these false claims and avoid falling for the coordinated propaganda clearly designed to target and damage Ahmed Uthman’s reputation.

Most traders are still calling $HYPE overextended, but the structure says momentum is still intact. Higher highs, rising participation volume, and near flat funding usually means this is not a crowded long yet. The bid support around $56 also shows buyers are still comfortable defending current price instead of chasing spikes. What stands out to me is the pace of expansion. Going from the low $40s into the high $50s in under a week without aggressive funding imbalance is not typical exhaustion behavior. If momentum holds, the market could force another leg before any meaningful cooldown appears. $62 does not look unrealistic if volume continues building through the next sessions. @QFSignals @Questflow @QFcommunity

It is quite unfortunate how people are often quick to align themselves with narratives designed to tarnish an individual’s reputation, while overlooking the countless positive contributions such individuals have made to society over the years. Despite the smear campaigns and negative narratives allegedly amplified by certain media platforms, Ahmed Uthman remains widely recognized by many within his community as a philanthropist and humanitarian who has consistently empowered hundreds of people, both men and women, in his hometown. A proper background check and objective assessment of his track record would have helped many avoid being misled by unverified claims, media sensationalism, and propaganda. For those willing to look beyond the headlines, here are some of the empowerment initiatives and impactful contributions he has carried out over the years:

@ApehOjonimi Some people prefer cash because of delays and transfer issues.

Did you know accepting cash payment for the sale of landed property can amount to an offence in Nigeria? The Supreme Court outlined the elements the prosecution must prove before conviction. What’s your take on this provision? 👇🏽 ALIYU v. FRN (2026)

A repeat of 2023 elections is coming for agbado boys. BAT and APC will lose this State since 4 strong aspirants are not with the Governor. They have refused to learn from history

This story is both sad and heartbreaking. No parent should ever have to endure such an ordeal. In 2020, during the COVID-19 period, the child was placed under a temporary caregiving arrangement with Ms. Timipre Wolo a trusted family friend, pending the completion of documentation for her relocation to the United States. Subsequently, Ms. Timipre Wolo reportedly initiated legal proceedings against the adoptive parents, seeking a court order to be granted adoptive rights over the child. Court records show that judgment was eventually delivered in favour of the adoptive parents, affirming their custodial rights. However, despite the ruling, the child has not been physically reunited with her adoptive parents and siblings since 2022. A child custody matter should never become a mystery. If the Court of Appeal has affirmed lawful custody in favour of the adoptive parents, then the urgent question is simple: Where is the child now, and has any competent authority verified her welfare? This is not about social media drama or personal attacks. A minor is involved, and a court order exists. The focus should be on the enforcement of that order, verification of the child’s welfare, and ensuring her safe return to her lawful custodians. When a court has ruled on child custody, who should be held responsible if the child is still not physically reunited with those granted lawful custody? instagram.com/p/DYXO_nyjCn_/

According to available court records, a child was placed in 2020 under a temporary caregiving arrangement with Ms. Timipre Wolo a trusted family friend during the COVID-19 period, pending completion of documentation for relocation to the United States. Subsequently, Ms Timipre Wolo reportedly initiated legal proceedings against the adoptive parents, seeking an order of court to be granted rights of adoption in respect of the child. Court records indicate that judgment was ultimately delivered in favour of the adoptive parents, affirming their custodial position. Despite this, reports indicate that the child has not been physically reunited with her adoptive parents and siblings since 2022. As it stands, the adoptive parents are concerned regarding the child’s whereabouts, welfare, and living conditions. Full story here. Things are really happening. arewareportersng.com/timiprewolo-ch…
