People have marched through some of South Africa's largest cities to protest against immigration. Sky's Africa correspondent @YousraElbagir witnessed a man being Tasered by a protester in central Johannesburg ⬇️

Once Peter Obi leaves ADC, everyone will stop talking about ADC. Even Atiku boys won’t talk about Atiku, they will keep talking about Obi. Obi is the opposition. That’s who really matters in the coalition. They need him, we need him. Nobody needs Atiku, not even Nigeria.

Extrajudicial Killing in Effurun The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian Mr. Mene Ogidi, in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law. Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt. Such acts inflict unimaginable trauma on the bereaved family and deepen public anxiety in an already distressed society. Nigerians are already traumatised by recurring reports of brutal killings by terror organisations across the country, and incidents of this nature - especially when involving state actors - only worsen that psychological burden and erode public confidence in safety and security. In light of this, while the law must take its full course, I commend the prompt response of the police authorities so far and express confidence that they will pursue this matter to its logical conclusion. Such responsiveness is necessary to reassure the public that justice will not be compromised. I therefore urge the police and all security agencies to sustain this approach by acting with transparency and accountability. Furthermore, recruitment processes must be more rigorous, ensuring that only individuals of sound judgment and the right frame of mind are entrusted with firearms. In the final analysis, these measures can restore public trust and uphold justice - both of which are indispensable to building a new Nigeria that is possible. -PO

Regardless of the party Obi eventually joins, The one thing I dont want to hear repeat itself is: "LP top to bottom". These fools will not shit on his name for 2 years only to enjoy his influence to win a seat, they'll eventually cross carpet. Obi for Presidency. Final.

“A Team Of Nigerian Police Officers In a Shuttle Bus Double-Crossed Us. Myself And My Husband, Who Is An Ex-Military Officer While We Were Driving In Owerri, Imo State. They Stopped Us, Saying They Wanted To Conduct a Stop-And-Search. Before We Could Even Introduce Ourselves, One Of The Officers Opened The Door, Dragged Me Out, And Slapped Me. They Ass@ulted My Husband, Shot At Him And Threatened To Kill Him And Nothing Will Happen. One Of The Officers Hit Him In The Face With Their Gun And He Started Bleeding💔.” #EndPoliceBrutality

The Nigerian Police stopped me on my way to Ekiti State after seeing the ₦300,000 I was carrying. They suspected I had more money, arrested me, and fabricated false charges against me. They threw me in jail. When they brought me out, I thought they were going to kill me, but they took me to court instead. The judge ordered me remanded in prison. On my next court date, the case was dismissed, and I was released.I just got out of prison simply for deciding to travel to Ekiti.

We know a lot is happening and it’s hard to keep up, but please pay attention to this: In Imo State, there is a police cell where innocent Nigerians are being killed. The silence around it is disturbing. @TunjiDisu1 is this acceptable under your command, or not?

Police is not your friend.

The young man in this picture is DĘAD! Until his untimely death, he was a serving NYSC corps member. In his own room at Shagari Quarters, Deidei, Abuja, officers from the @HQNigerianArmy shōt and blew up his hęad claiming it was a “mistake.” Late Samad was not a criminal. He was simply serving his fatherland, only to be murdered by those paid to protect him. We demand that the military hierarchy immediately investigate this incident, punish the officers involved, and ensure his family gets justice! May this not happen to any of us. #JusticeForSamad #NYSC

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

One day you wake up and you're 23 or 25,or 27 and suddenly everything feels like it's moving too fast. You miss something can't you quite name. Not a person, not a place, just a feeling. The feeling of being young, when everything was new and the smallest moments felt big. Late night talks with friends, walking home in the dark laughing about nothing, summers that felt like forever. You just want that again - to feel alive in the little things, to slow down, to be here, really here, before it all becomes another memory.

It’s like Nigerians don’t know what’s going on. I have posted this earlier and now the news is out. A popular airline’s management is currently considering increasing fares by 80%. If you travel Abuja-Lagos return for N300,000 today which is the cheapest route. So prepare to pay N540,000 for the same trip very soon. Allen Onyema, CEO of Air Peace, just said this publicly: every other country - including other African countries - is dealing with a 70% increase in jet fuel cost. Nigeria’s increase is 270%. We are not a victim of global oil markets. We are a victim of our own system. The government gave airlines a 30% discount on old debt and called it intervention. Jet fuel went from N900 to N3,300 per litre and nobody fixed the actual problem. So the real cost of this fare hike is not going to be N240,000. It is the lives of Nigerians who will board buses into harm’s way because a ticket became a luxury. Abuja-Lagos road. The same road with bandits, kidnappers, and a government that has not secured it in years. Nigerians will pay N240,000 for a return ticket. Or they will take the highway and the highway has its own price.

Society is in shambles because we’ve really allowed money to take precedence over character, principles and values.

Should we talk about cause of sudden death in young people and cause of young people who were said to be fine, just slumping. Should we?

The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.

My dating life changed the day i realized that : Beautiful girls are everywhere. Successful men aren’t Let that sink in.

1. Keep your energy level at “unbothered.” No matter the situation you find yourself in, be calm. It helps you think of solutions faster. 2. Except they are disrespecting you, when someone raises their voice, lower yours. The lower voice is the one with class. Empty vessels make the loudest noise. 3. If someone tries to guilt-trip you, take a deep breath and say, “You’ll be alright.” 4. Always act like you have been there before. A big win, small win, someone takes you out, you find a new update—act like you have been there before. 5. Take your time before responding to anyone. Think clearly and speak on it once. 6. Say what you mean and mean what you say. 7. When you enter a room, don’t scan for who’s watching you. Look straight ahead and pick your own seat. 8. In any settings, always mind your business. If they don’t involve you in a conversation, don’t involve yourself. Eavesdropping is allowed, but don’t join them. 9. Don’t talk too much. Nothing reduces your steeze more than too much talk. The more you talk, the more likely you are to say nonsense. 10. When someone pulls away, match their distance, not their drama. 11. Never involve yourself in a physical fight. It is not worth it. 12. Resist the urge to shalaye. Overexplaining yourself, especially to strangers, reduces your steeze. 13. When you are in public, show no visible reaction when you receive news (good or bad). Control your face until you leave that premises. 14. Don’t try so hard to be noticed in any settings. Matter of fact, the most reserved person in a room is the most noticed and admired one. 15. If you notice someone is arguing to be right instead of to learn, stop indulging them immediately. Let them believe they are right. You have nothing to prove to them.
