Drop this emoji✌️if you’re in support of the new movement!

At some point, the courts will have to make it clear that it is not an arena for dubious and silly political theatrics. Some of these political litigations are just senseless. Lawyers who are filing senseless cases in our courts should be sanctioned. If INEC receives applications from different groups seeking to be registered as political parties, and decides to register some and ignore others for reasons best known to it, it is left for the aggrieved groups that have been denied registration to seek redress in court against INEC. The Court, based on the evidence and the facts before it, can compel INEC to register more political parties. Suing the political parties that INEC have registered, and asking the court to compel INEC to deregister them, because you felt marginalized, cannot be a sensible legal strategy. Every group has a distinct right to seek registration. You can’t argue that because group “A” was denied registration as a political party, therefore INEC had no constitutional right to register group “B”. As lawyers, we should stop ridiculing our noble profession. We owe a duty to the Court and the cause of justice, not only to partisan clients.

What kind of country is this Someone just posted this video on facebook NIGERIANS IN UNIFORM AND ABUSE: Please let's keep resharing this until it gets to the appropriate authorities for immediate action to apprehend these animals in Uniform....here they are tying an elderly woman like goat, someone's mother/Grandmother/aunt or Sister! Ahhh I know it will be well with Nigeria Me: Nigeria Police and their penchant for brutality na 5&6. God! My question to Nigeria Police 👮‍♀️ what is our crime ? Is it a crime to be a Nigerian? Everyday police You guys can do better!!!

“NO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAS THE POWER TO ACT AS PROSECUTOR, JUDGE, AND EXECUTIONER” The Nigerian Bar Association is disturbed by the viral video showing the extrajudicial killing of a suspect by police officers in Delta State, as well as the subsequent confirmation by the Police Public Relations Officer that those involved will be tried for murder. This is an arbitrary, unprovoked and misguided show of power by a law enforcement agent. Not only did the act clearly show that the policeman took the law into his hands but portrayed the Nigerian Police Force in a bad light. The sordid act once more put under the spotlight the unceasing allegations I that law policemen routinely violate the rights of criminal suspects and even innocent persons. The NBA unequivocally condemns this act. No officer of the law, regardless of rank or circumstance, has the right to act as prosecutor, judge, and executioner. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is clear that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. Regrettably, many law enforcement and executive functionaries fail to abide by the terms of the laws which set them up as well as regulate their actions, but this is not always the case. They continue to act in manner which must not be encouraged in all decent societies. Some of such actions are usually unconstitutional, illegal and unlawful infringement on the right of individualsIf such unlawful actions by the security agencies continue unchecked, fundamental rights of people may not amount to much in such a climate of impunity. No society should allow such action to go unpunished. The gravity of the offence captured in that video strikes at the very heart of our humanity, the rule of law, and the constitutional guarantees of the right to life and dignity of the human person. It is s worrisome that in this 21st century, a policeman will summarily execute an alleged robber in a devil-may-care attitude. More worrisome is the fact that the summary execution was carried out in full public glare in grave violation of laws regulating the treatment of a criminal suspect or alleged thief. While we commend the Police for condemning and arresting the main perpetrator, but this is not enough. The viral video clearly shows that other policemen aided or were involved in this heinous act. The investigation, arrest and prosecution process must extend to any other officer may have counselled aided or abetted the extra-judicial killing as they all will be jointly liable for the heinous act. We therefore call for the immediate prosecution and trial of all officers involved in this heinous act. Any attempt to shield, delay, or dilute accountability in this matter will further erode public confidence in law enforcement institutions and will be firmly resisted by the Bar. We demand that the prosecution be conducted with full transparency and urgency. The Nigerian people deserve to see that the law applies equally to all, including those entrusted with its enforcement. We hereby direct the Human Rights Committees of the NBA in Warri, Effurun and Udu in Delta State to continue to confront such matters as well as monitor the sequence of events to ensure that this matter is properly investigated and prosecuted. In furtherance of this, the NBA Human Rights Committee and Civil Liberties Committee are hereby directed to closely monitor allegations of violations of citizens rights in any other place, engage with relevant authorities, and take all necessary legal and institutional steps to ensure that justice is diligently pursued and ultimately served. We reiterate our strong deprecation of this unsavoury conduct. It must stop. We must rise to ensure this and similar recklessness acts, stop. The bad policemen in the Force must be shown the way out to avoid giving it a bad name.

EFCC's Troubling Revelation on Our Students. The worrisome statement by the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that 6 out of every 10 Nigerian university students are involved in “419” is deeply troubling and must not be taken lightly. Nigeria already has a very limited number of students in higher institutions, estimated at 2 to 2.5 million. If indeed about 60% of them, roughly 1.4 million young people, are involved in fraud, then we are not just facing a crime issue; we are confronting a serious moral and systemic failure. The question we must ask ourselves is: what has brought us to this level? Who are the role models these students are looking up to?. What values are they learning from society? We must understand that young people become what they consistently see. When a system appears to reward wrongdoing, when integrity is not upheld, and when those in leadership are associated with allegations of forgery and dishonesty without consequence, it sends a dangerous message. It suggests that hard work does not matter, and that results, by any means, are acceptable. These points clearly point to a collapse of moral values. As Socrates rightly said, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Nigeria must now examine itself. This is not about condemning our young people. It is about accepting that leadership sets the tone. If we do not demonstrate integrity at the top, we cannot expect it at the bottom. We must urgently rebuild our value system, enforce accountability without bias, and create an environment where honesty, hard work, and discipline are rewarded. That is the only sustainable path to securing the future of our nation. A new Nigeria is POssible! -PO

“This potholes on the middle of the road here in Nembe, Bayelsa State will cause a big acc!dent,” — Man calls on the attention of the Bayelsa State Government.

Dear @PeterObi You are being attacked by this government left, right and center, but you keep quiet. In April 2023, your passport was cloned just to implicate you in the UK, and if not for a routine immigration check, only God knows what those demons had planned. Your family businesses are under constant attack. Now Nigerians just found out that you have been stopped from visiting Universities and this is like the tenth incident.🤷🏾‍♂️ There is actually a state funded Ministry of Social media attack against you. Sir, if you don’t speak up at the first instance of an attack, you give your enemies a chance to keep trying. Have they tried impersonating your passport again? Exactly because you exposed it. Your silence in the presence of oppression, doesn’t mean you are strong it only gives your oppressors the leverage to try again. Wisdom is profitable to direct!

Yesterday in Ibadan I had an encounter with someone that made me realise that we have not spoken about the travails we face enough! He was shocked that I was not surprised about how the OAU, Ife event Peter Obi @PeterObi was supposed to attend turned out! I told him it is a normal thing we face. I went on to ask him why does he think Peter Obi usually visits private Nursing schools or those run by missionaries? He didn’t know. I told him because the ones run by government would not allow him to visit or the officials take anything from him. While people were making assumptions that he was being biased in favouring some sections of the country, it was really because they were the ones that will welcome him. I told him about Chibok community. They reached out to me about the Chibok school from which 276 #ChibokGirls were abducted from in 2014 did not have computers. As soon as I told Mr Peter Obi he told me to make arrangement with the school that we will visit Chibok donate computers and printers (which they had not even asked for) and access other needs that they have and take care of them. First we were denied from going. Then Mr Peter Obi suggested we visit the capital and give them or any neighboring state, that was also turned down. The next was bringing the principal and some teachers with students to Abuja. They were not allowed to come. At the end Mr Peter Obi met with some members of the chibok community in Abuja and handed over the computers and printers to them with monetary assistance which he gave. @salakwa1 can provide more details sef! Most of the charity is with coconut head! They have been doing everything to truncate it!

Troubling Developments from the citadel of learning. The reason Universities are regarded as an ivory tower is because its seen as centres for pure, isolated intellectual thought. It's therefore worrisome when they are increasingly pressured to operate outside this norm. Today, I was scheduled to be at Obafemi Awolowo University at 9am prompt to deliver a keynote lecture, before proceeding to Ibadan for the opposition parties' political summit scheduled to commence at 12noon. The invitation was extended to me several months ago, and adequate preparations had been made. Regrettably, I received the news that the event would no longer be held in the University as planned. While such occurrences may be dismissed in isolation, it is important to state clearly that this has now happened more than ten times. This is no longer incidental; it points to a troubling pattern that should concern all well-meaning Nigerians. My alma mater, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka was not excluded. The family of one of the renowned UNN Vice Chancellor late Professor Frank Ndili had planned an annual lecture on his behalf and the inaugural lecture was to be delivered, but on the scheduled date it was cancelled by the University authority. These are not merely personal inconveniences; they raise deeper questions about the kind of environment we are nurturing in our country. Universities are meant to be centres of learning, open dialogue, and the free exchange of ideas. When platforms for constructive engagement are repeatedly constrained, it reflects a worrying shift away from these ideals. This concern becomes even more pronounced when viewed against my engagements across the world, where I have been privileged to speak and interact freely with students and scholars in respected institutions. In the past 24 months, I have delivered lectures in notable universities globally including Oxford University, Cambridge University, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Chicago University, University of Pennsylvania, Imperial College, to name a few. Those environments continue to demonstrate openness to dialogue, critical thinking, and shared learning, values that should equally define our own institutions. We must ask ourselves: what kind of nation are we building if spaces meant for intellectual engagement are gradually shrinking? A country’s progress is anchored on its ability to encourage knowledge, debate, and the contest of ideas, not restrict them. Nigeria must work towards becoming a place where ideas thrive, where knowledge is shared without fear, and where our institutions uphold the principles they were established to protect. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Omo! This song for Peter Obi na banga

This news is not circulating as it should! This is currently happening.

Do Nigerians know that after the massacre of 200+ people in Kwara two months ago, the terrorists also kidnapped 170+ women and children, including pregnant wives? They are yet to be released and the Nigerian government is yet to do anything about it.

I do not have the power to order the Nigerian security agencies to rescue my sister immediately. I do not have the money to pay the ₦40 million naira ransom the kidnappers are demanding before my sister can be released or they will k!ll her. The only thing I have is my voice. I will use my voice to reach the world to let them know the evils that are happening in Nigeria @NigeriaGov @NGRPresident under the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT without efforts to stop them. My younger sister must not d!e in the harsh and harrowing custody of the kidnappers. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT must rescue my sister alive and unhurt today. Today makes it 10 gory Days in the den of kidnappers. She was kidnapped at Kabba, Kogi State, Nigeria, on Monday, 13 April 2026, on her way to Abuja. I will sacrifice everything I can. Rukayat Ayoni Lawal will not be used to pay for the gross incompetence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT.

"They seized my baby and sliced him in two with a knife. My second child woke up ... They split his head with a machete." THIS IS THE REALITY FOR NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS. When will the world wake up?!
