So yesterday, I posted that Elrufi and Justice Crack were granted bail for the sum of 100 million and 5 million naira respectively, and most of you asked what bail money is usually meant for. Others also asked where the money goes to. So let me briefly explain how it works. First, you need to understand that bail in Nigeria is a constitutionally guaranteed right that secures a suspect’s temporary release from custody pending further investigation or trial. The reason for granting bail to a suspect or a defendant standing trial is premised on the fact that the defendant may be innocent after all. Under Section 36(5) of the Nigerian Constitution, an accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. So, bail is simply a measure that prevents a suspect from suffering unwarranted punishment, humiliation, and reputational damage for a crime they may not have committed. Now, this is where many people get it wrong. By law, bail is fundamentally free, and no court is expected to demand money before granting bail to a person standing trial. However, what the law provides for are cash security deposits and formal bail bonds by sureties to ensure attendance during trial. What this simply means is that the law understands human nature. If a person is granted freedom without depositing something of value before the court, such a person might wake up one day and abscond because they have nothing to lose. So what the court does is this: it may ask a person standing surety for the defendant to execute a bond, agreeing that if the person standing trial absconds, the surety will pay a certain amount already fixed by the court as punishment. In some situations, the court may also order a cash deposit. That money serves as a form of security to guarantee that the defendant will continue appearing in court for trial. So whenever you hear that a court or judge mandated a cash bond of a specific amount as part of bail conditions, the money is usually deposited into the designated account of the court’s registry for safekeeping. It acts as a financial guarantee for future appearances in court. If, at the end of the day, the defendant attends all court proceedings diligently and the case is concluded, the money paid is refunded to the surety. That is the procedure. End.

@AirtelNigeria I recharged the number attached to my ODU for 25,000 monthly data plans and now I can't seem to convert it to data. Called customer care 3 times, none was able to help me. I have tried to do that from my app . But I can't access the number as it's an e SIM. 0701 454 5855.

@IgnatiusNwokora Kindly let us know the exact network issue being experienced (voice or data) and share the affected number via DM for checks and assistance. Thank you. ^Raphael. twitter.com/messages/compo…

No-one cares if the young man was innocent or not, the issue is that the officer shouldn't have shot him after being caught (and disarmed). He has no right to do that. The victim should've been arrested, tried in court, and faced whatever punishment passed. Anyone defending the action of the officer is either ignorant or plain stup'd.

@AirtelNigeria And that's your response, I need someone from your teal so help resolve my issue or my Airtel simcard is off my phone immediately

@IgnatiusNwokora Hello @IgnatiusNwokora, we understand the importance of a reliable network and we apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced.

OK❗️ Enough with the Games, 24th February 2026 Nationwide #AkpabioMustGo ❗️ READY, RETWEET❗️ #AkpabioMustGo #AkpabioMustGo #AkpabioMustGo

@TheNationNews I was there when it happened o, not funny at all, I caught one big fish there today o. Since we are all mad in this country

@BashirAhmaad I think you need to use this time you used to write this epistle to watch the movie with an open mind. You will actually see where they made mention of stealing the cows belonging to someone just to achieve their aim. Let everything not be ABT your region this man

The reason why some Arewa people are angry about The Herd movie is not because we are denying the reality of banditry, far from it. It is about the dangerous consequences of profiling an entire ethnic group and region that has already suffered immensely from years of insecurity. I watched the teaser on @NetflixNaija, and even though I haven’t watched the full movie yet, the one clear problem that stands out is stereotyping. In the teaser, Fulani herders are shown crossing the road with their cattle, while a newlywed couple inside a car and other travellers drive by, then suddenly the herdsmen pull out guns, start shooting indiscriminately and kidnap everyone. This single scene paints a picture that is actually facile as it is dangerously inaccurate. The truth is this, it is true and verifiable that some of the bandits terrorizing innocent people and our communities are Fulani. We have consistently and openly acknowledged that, called them out, condemned their atrocities and demanded that authorities deal with them mercilessly. Yet the overwhelming majority of Fulani herders are innocent and also among the very victims that have suffered the most from these terrorists. Many have lost their cattle, their livelihoods and their families. So producing a movie to profile them all as armed kidnappers only reinforces a harmful stereotype that fuels suspicion, resentment and even violence against innocent people. Film and media carry immense influence, they shape global perceptions and frame narratives, especially about communities that are poorly understood outside their regions. Instead of the producers of The Herd helping the world understand the complexity of Nigeria’s insecurity, the movie falls into the trap of blanket judgment. When such an international movie, portrays a one-dimensional story, millions of viewers around the world walk away believing that every Fulani herder is a terrorist and that is how stigma is created. That is how innocent people become targets of discrimination and harassment. Before producing a film that touches on such a sensitive and complex national issue, the producers should have done intensive field work by engaging stakeholders, security experts, victims, researchers and even representatives of pastoralist groups to help them capture the full picture of the situation. I believe @AliNuhu’s Nigerian Film Corporation should have given proper guidance to prevent such damaging portrayals. In the end, all we are saying is simple, tell the story. Condemn the criminals. Call out the terrorists. But do not cast a shadow of suspicion over millions of innocent herders who have nothing to do with these atrocities. Our country is dealing with a complex security challenge and the last thing we need is media content that deepens stereotypes and fuels more division. The producers should have known better.

@0xchaindevs @BashirAhmaad I tire o

@BashirAhmaad The HERDS highlights: 1. How “Armed Herders” involved in terrorism 2. How some Yorubas involve in body parts harvesting. 3. How some Igbos involve in Osu caste, showing the segregations. 4. How some pastors & church involve in human parts rituals. Why only Muslims are angry?

@BashiruAkanbi2 @YusufTuggar You just gained a follower sir, for this analysis. God bless you

Oh please. Spare us the rehearsed “complexity” speech. Nigerians are tired of leaders hiding incompetence behind poetic grammar. Nigeria is complex — we know. We live it. But “nuance” is not an excuse for failure, and “context” is not a defence for suffering. You go on international TV to manage perceptions, while citizens back home are managing hunger, insecurity, inflation, kidnapping, fuel scarcity, joblessness. Which “full picture” are you showing the world, hmm,the private jets or the mass graves? Diplomacy isn’t about polishing lies for foreign cameras. It’s about results that speak for themselves. Let’s be clear: If insecurity is under control, nobody will “distort the narrative.” If the economy is booming, nobody will need “nuance.” If justice works, nobody will call the system a scam. If leadership is accountable, nobody will blame “misconceptions.” When a government performs, citizens become its loudest ambassadors. When a government fails, propaganda becomes its loudest strategy. Talk less about how the world should “understand” Nigeria, and do more so Nigerians can finally recognize their own country again. Until then, stop exporting speeches. Deliver solutions.

Nigeria is a nation of remarkable complexity; multi-ethnic, multi-religious, multi-cultural and home to over 230 million people. Nation-building in such a diverse landscape demands context, balance, and a willingness to engage issues with nuance rather than sensationalism. In my conversation on @PiersUncensored, I reiterated a simple truth: Nigeria cannot be understood or judged, through simplistic or one-dimensional lenses. Our internal dynamics require thoughtful interpretation, grounded in facts, history, and constitutional reality. The work of diplomacy includes correcting misconceptions, providing clarity where narratives are distorted, and ensuring that global audiences appreciate the full picture of who we are and the values we uphold. I remain committed to conversations that reflect Nigeria’s complexity with honesty, depth, and respect.
