@sowore @adekunleGOLD Pregnant dog, keep your emotions coming Na like this you want to rule Nigeria LoL

This was @AdekunleGold in 2012 openly criticizing then President @GoodluckJonathan. Back then, it was rightly called free speech, and if he had been arrested for those tweets, we would have been on the streets demanding his immediate release. How then does someone who benefited from freedom of expression turn around years later to use the police, courts, and the brutal cybercrime framework against ordinary Nigerians over online banter and social media exchanges? You cannot enjoy free speech when you are powerless and criminalize it the moment you become influential. Freedom of expression must apply to everyone, celebrities, politicians, activists, and poor young Nigerians on social media alike. The Nigeria Police Force @PoliceNG must stop acting as a private army for the rich and famous, while the judiciary must stop handing down outrageous punishments over internet speech that should never be criminal matters in the first place.

@sowore Always looking for the slightest opportunity to be Messiah You never caution any of those lunatics, once actions is taken on them you will be the first scream oppression

Today, we are once again witnessing the reckless abuse of @policenh powers against social media users in Nigeria. What is even more disturbing is how some Nigerian celebrities now appear more eager than politicians and security agencies to throw largely poor young Nigerians into prison under the guise of “cybercrime,” simply because of internet banter or comments they dislike. I have read reports about singers like @Simi and @AdekunleGold allegedly using the police against critics online, and now similar allegations involving @ayrastarr and others keep surfacing. Meanwhile, these same celebrities sit comfortably among international stars abroad demanding respect and award for creative freedom and artistic expression, yet many of those global celebrities would never (and functioning systems) won’t let them weaponize the police, corrupt prosecutors, or compromised court judges against ordinary citizens over free speech or online commentary. This growing culture of criminalizing speech, jokes, criticism, trolling, and online banter is dangerous to democracy and fundamentally incompatible with freedom of expression. The real shame belongs to the irresponsible Nigeria Police Force @PoliceNG and sections of the justice system that continue enabling these abuses instead of protecting citizens’ rights. The police must stop acting as private enforcers for the rich, connected and powerful. Nigerians cannot continue to be shipped to prison because influential people are offended online. #RevolutionNow

@FoxNews WHO

Nearly 40 cruise passengers exposed to a deadly virus may have already scattered across the globe — as authorities scramble to track them down. Dozens left the MV Hondius ship without contact tracing after a hantavirus outbreak that’s already killed at least three people. The World Health Organization warns that while human-to-human transfer is uncommon, it's still possible. Health agencies are now racing to locate passengers across multiple continents before more cases emerge.

@instablog9ja What are the criteria for the position, how exiting staff have trained to filled the position

“Even Dangote Told Me He Is Struggling To See Staff To Hire In Nigeria” — Former Minister Kemi Adeosun Reiterates Moniepoint CEO’s Recent Remarks Former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, has highlighted a growing concern in Nigeria’s labour market, pointing to a mismatch between the number of job seekers and the availability of employable skills. Speaking on Channels Television’s The Platform, Adeosun shared insights from a recent conversation with industrialist Aliko Dangote. According to her, Dangote expressed frustration over the difficulty of recruiting qualified staff locally, despite the large number of applicants in the country. “I had a conversation with Dangote recently, and he told me it’s not that he want to employ foreigners but he can’t get staff in Nigeria. Meanwhile, we have an army of people. Every day I am seeing CVs, so then something is wrong,” she said. Adeosun explained that the situation reflects a deeper structural issue, where many graduates lack the practical skills required by employers. She warned that unless the gap between education and industry needs is addressed, Nigeria may continue to experience high unemployment alongside unfilled job vacancies.

@sowore @UBAGroup @TonyOElumelu @PoliceNG Dude always on the wrong side Defamation isn't freedom of speech, Elumelu is way too kind

This is why no one should be arrested on the orders or influence of @UBAgroup Chair @TonyOElumelu. He is a public figure, and a billionaire content creator and the Nigeria Police Force @policeng has no right to detain anyone on his behalf over expression. Mr. @TonyOElumelu knows very well that it is only in Nigeria that police connections are routinely used to violate citizens’ rights. Across the world, public figures are scrutinized and criticized, sometimes harshly. @elonmusk had his private jet tracked for years by a Florida-based teenager, @jackfsweeney yet no law enforcement agency illegally detained the individual. Public Figures like @BillClinton, @BarackObama , @MichelleObama, and @TonyBlair (who are friends with @TonyOElumelu) are constantly subjected to criticism and unflattering commentary, but no police force would entertain arresting citizens on their behalf for such reasons. Only in Nigeria would a billionaire public figure and I maintain “content creator”attempt to use a compromised police system to detain other content creators for expressing unflattering views. This must be rejected outright, freedom of expression is not a crime. Only in Nigeria! #AACOurParty x.com/dammiedammie35…

@lorddrey Wishes are not reality Civilians are the reason why Iran still exists today

If I were to be Iran all my response to the US aggression would be to bomb the UAE and the rest of the Gulf states into dust. I won't waste my munitions on the US because the US is so far from home someone brought them close enough to attack me. I would make sure those people face extinction before I do.

@TrendingEx So how does the company function with 500 loopholes? Very fat lie

ADC will die natural death

@PeterObi Just choose the party, I'm already a member

Fellow Nigerians, good morning. I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you. Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances. We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal. More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism. We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power. Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise. Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them. However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building. Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated. And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions. There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline? Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from. Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
