@OnunakuDr Advise him to withdraw from the race, and I will stop talking about him. But if he refuses, I will continue to highlight how incompetent he was as a governor and how inconsistent he has been over the years.
Peter Gregory Obi is merely serving as an SPV for a potential Kwankwaso–Dickson ticket in 2031. Obi may believe he is building a pathway for his own ambition, but he is actually creating an opportunity for more experienced politicians like RMK and Dickson, who understand that patience is a key currency in politics.
They could ultimately leverage what remains of Obi’s political structure and support base to position themselves for a direct contest in 2031. Their target would be to challenge President Atiku Abubakar, who by then would be concluding his first term in office and preparing for re-election.
@inecnigeria Your staff did not do this for free most definitely - a token must have been involved. You have many of them who may manufacture 'glitches' with token from politicians just to undermine the credibility of the 2027 election. God help Nigeria.
INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION
PRESS STATEMENT
RE: ALLEGED MISUSE OF AUTHORISED ACCESS CREDENTIALS AND UNAUTHORISED DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION FROM THE COMMISSION’S CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION (CVR) DATABASE
The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to allegations currently circulating on social media and in some sections of the media regarding the alleged unauthorised access to the Commission's Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) database and the subsequent publication of information on a candidate in the recent primaries of a political party in the Federal Capital Territory.
The Commission takes this allegation seriously and has immediately commenced a thorough investigation to establish the facts surrounding the incident.
As part of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise nationwide, authorised INEC Registration Officers were granted controlled access to specific components of the CVR system to enable them register new applicants, process requests for transfer of registration and update voter records where necessary. Such access is restricted to official duties only and is withdrawn at the conclusion of the exercise.
The audit trail from the preliminary investigation has enabled the Commission to identify the user account through which the information was accessed. Accordingly, relevant personnel have been questioned, and all units connected with the incident are cooperating fully with the investigation.
The Commission is also examining all technical, administrative and operational factors associated with the matter in order to establish individual responsibility and determine the circumstances surrounding the use of those credentials and identify any breach of internal access-control protocols before taking appropriate action against anyone involved.
Preliminary findings from the Commission's audit trail so far, however, indicate that there was no external breach of the CVR database, no hacking incident, and no unauthorised external access to the Commission's ICT infrastructure. Rather, the information in question was accessed through valid user credentials assigned to personnel participating in the ongoing CVR exercise but released without authority.
The incident under investigation relates to the retrieval of a specific voter record and does not indicate any compromise of the Commission's broader voter registration infrastructure or the personal data of over 90 million registered voters.
The Commission wishes to state categorically that it takes the security, confidentiality and integrity of voter data with the utmost seriousness and remains committed to transparency, institutional integrity, and the protection of voters' personal information.
Furthermore, the Department of State Services (DSS), on its own accord, has commenced an independent investigation into the matter. The Commission will continue to cooperate fully with all relevant security agencies and will not hesitate to refer any person found culpable for appropriate legal action.
Members of the public and the media are therefore urged to disregard unfounded speculations while investigations remain ongoing. The Commission will continue to keep the public informed of its final findings and any measures taken in response to the incident in due course.

BREAKING: APC is reportedly considering the withdrawal of the victories of 40 declared senatorial primary winners in a move aimed at accommodating incumbent senators.
I was talking with a pastor tonight and asked:
"Where does the Bible clearly state Rebecca’s age when she married Isaac?"
He said, "Biblically, Rebecca was about 3 years old."
Then he broke it down:
Genesis 22 mentions Isaac being bound on the mountain.
Right after that, Rebecca appears in the genealogy.
Genesis 25:20 says Isaac was 40 when he married her.
So the logic goes:
If Isaac was around 37 at the Akedah,
and Rebecca appears right after,
and he marries her at 40…
37 to 40 = 3 years old.
I stand to be corrected, but that actually sounds convincing.
@Morris_Monye I need a car badly. Had 2 until Tinubu happened. One was stolen; and sold the other to adjust to his self benefitting and masses impoverishment economic policies. Been saving to get even the cheapest, but the more I save, the more hunger depletes it. It's so, so tiring.
When Peter Obi left Atiku, you called it betrayal.
When Kwankwaso left Atiku, you called it betrayal.
When Makinde left Atiku, you called it betrayal.
When Babachir Lawal left Atiku, you called it betrayal.
But when Atiku's biological son left Atiku, you called it democracy.
Sir, with due respect, you're hopelessly stupid.
@RealShahriqKhan It also tells us the standard (righteousness) demanded of humans is not unimaginable, attainable, or impossible because of our flesh. It says I have taken up flesh to show you that you can do it too.
When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
Let me say something that will make people uncomfortable this morning. 😎
Subsidy removal is the most hated thing Tinubu did. I know. I felt it too. We all did.
But let me ask you something.
Who was actually benefiting from that subsidy?
Not you. Not the okada man. Not the market woman. Not the student trekking to school.
The marketers importing fuel were billing Nigeria for litres that never arrived. The cabal collecting allocation were selling the same fuel across the border to neighbouring countries at profit. The politicians were using subsidy as a slush fund every election cycle.
You were not eating the subsidy. You were just smelling it.
The World Bank said remove it. The IMF said remove it. Every serious economist since 1999 said remove it. Obasanjo knew. Jonathan knew. Buhari knew.
Nobody touched it — not because they cared about your transport fare — but because too many powerful people were feeding from it quietly.
Tinubu touched it.
And everybody who was feeding from it made sure you felt the pain immediately so you would direct your anger at him instead of them.
Think about that slowly.
You are angry at the man who stopped the stealing. Not the men who did the stealing for 24 years.
That is not his failure. That is yours.
Among the 3 Gods Christians worship, the Holy Spirit is the least active and the least talked about. The Father is the true God everyone knows. Jesus the Son is well talked about and was even seen by men. But the Holy Spirit? No one knows who He is
They keep screaming "Aisha was 6" like it’s Quran.
It’s ONE Hadith. ONE narration.
The Quran NEVER gives an age.
The Prophet did NOT marry a child.
People twist that narration to normalize child marriage and then pin it on Islam itself. That’s the game.
Stop lying on the greatest man to ever walk this earth just to push an agenda ❌
@Iyoaiye_ All you said it true. One question though: Why has the federal government over the years refuse to develop and bring Onne and Warri port to commercial viability like the Lagos port? After all, they are by the ocean coastline without the challenges of dredged inland water ways.
CAN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUILD A SEAPORT IN NORTHERN NIGERIA?
Every election season, some politicians promise “Northern Seaport,” “River Niger Seaport,” or “Benue Inland Port” as if you can simply pour sand and build an ocean.
But geography does not obey politics.
And now some Arewa people who don't understand these things are beginning to say "Tinubu doesn't want to build a Port in the North".
But a real Seaport is not just water.
It is DEPTH, TIDE, ACCESS TO OCEAN ROUTES, NATURAL DRAFT, AND CONSTANT YEAR-ROUND NAVIGATION.
This you read that?
Read it again.
That is why countries spend BILLIONS trying to create what nature already gave places like Lagos, Rotterdam, Singapore, Shanghai, and Dubai.
Nigeria’s major seaports exist near the Atlantic Ocean for a reason:
Apapa Port — established 1921.
Tin Can Island Port — 1977.
Onne Port — Rivers State.
Lekki Deep Sea Port — commissioned 2023.
Why there?
Because the ocean is there.
Now let’s face the controversial question.
CAN THE INTERSECTION OF RIVER NIGER AND RIVER BENUE BE DREDGED INTO A SEAPORT?
Short answer: NO.
Not a true international seaport.
And here are the reasons many people avoid discussing openly.
1. RIVERS ARE NOT OCEANS
The River Niger and River Benue are inland freshwater rivers.
Large container ships need deep natural draft.
Modern cargo ships today require:
14 to 18 meters depth.
Massive turning basins.
Stable tidal movement.
Constant year-round water levels.
Most parts of River Niger fluctuate heavily between rainy and dry seasons.
During dry season, many sections become too shallow even for medium vessels.
You cannot compare that to the Atlantic Ocean.
2. DREDGING IS NOT MAGIC
Many Nigerians think dredging means “dig once and ships will come forever.”
Wrong.
River Niger carries enormous sediments yearly from Guinea Highlands through Mali, Niger Republic, and Nigeria.
That means:
Sand returns constantly.
Channels close repeatedly.
Maintenance becomes endless.
Egypt spends billions maintaining the Suez Canal.
The United States spends heavily maintaining the Mississippi shipping system.
Now imagine Nigeria trying to maintain over 1,000km of unstable inland river channel every year just to force giant ocean vessels into Northern Nigeria.
The economics would collapse.
3. BRIDGES WOULD BECOME A DISASTER.
Look at how many bridges cross River Niger and Benue:
- Onitsha Bridge
- Second Niger Bridge
- Lokoja Bridge
- Jebba Bridge
- Makurdi Bridge
Large international cargo ships are extremely tall.
Many existing bridges were never designed for massive ocean-going vessels.
To make such shipping possible, Nigeria would need to:
- demolish bridges,
- rebuild higher mega-bridges,
- redesign entire transport systems.
That would cost tens of BILLIONS of dollars.
4. PORTS REQUIRE TIDAL ADVANTAGE.
Real seaports benefit from ocean tides that naturally assist navigation and flushing.
Inland rivers lack this advantage.
This is one reason why even rich countries rarely build true seaports deep inland unless connected naturally to oceans through very stable channels.
HISTORY ALREADY PROVED THIS
The British colonial government studied River Niger extensively from the late 1800s.
Even after decades of surveys, they still concentrated major ports near the coast:
Lagos
Port Harcourt
Warri
Why?
Because geography defeated politics.
Even Lokoja — where Niger and Benue meet — became important as a trading post, NOT as a global seaport.
WHAT NORTHERN NIGERIA ACTUALLY NEEDS IS DIFFERENT
Instead of chasing “ocean seaport dreams,” Northern Nigeria can become:
- Africa’s logistics capital.
- Dry port hub
- Rail transport giant
- Agro-processing powerhouse
Countries like Kazakhstan and Ethiopia are landlocked yet still built strong economies through:
Rail systems,
Inland container depots,
Industrial zones,
Aviation logistics.
Kaduna Inland Dry Port was commissioned in 2018 for this reason.

Christians keep saying “Holy Spirit” is some invisible ghost spirit, but read what Jesus actually said.
He spoke about someone who would come after him, speak only what God commands, guide people into truth, and continue his message.
That sounds more like a prophet than a floating spirit.
A real man with a mission.
A messenger sent by God just like Muhammad.
The uncomfortable question is this: what if the “Comforter” Christians were waiting for was actually Muhammad all along?🤔
Yoruba man lost Senatorial Election because he has Igbo Wife
Recently, Yoruba Patriots Alliance (Y-PA) informed the Yoruba people of Ondo State and SouthWest at large to desist from voting any candidate whose wife isn't a Yoruba especially if such person has igbo wife.
In the just concluded Ondo North Senatorial Primary elections, one Mr Ade Adeogun whom Y-PA campaigned against because he chose to marry a foreigner has just loss his election.
We shall continue to stop nonsense in Yorubaland.
If you wife is not Yoruba, you must stay far from our Politics in SouthWest
For: Y-PA
Copied.
Yoruba men marry right if you hope to lead your people some day.
