European Battery Company CMBlu Energy has reached unicorn status, being worth over €1 Billion. The new investments will push the manufacturing of their non-lithium SolidFlow battery forward. They are made from earth-abundant, recyclable materials, changing the game.

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

@chosensomto Why did the criminals you call friends printed souvenirs and shirts to “run with the influence” of a man you believe should be in jail? Are you a criminal, like your friends?

In saner clime, a man who criminally saved his state funds in his bank, should be in jail. Peter kept Anambra money in his bank account, when w head no roads, no airport, even Awka had no estate then.

@TdTiim @IamJustNneka @chosensomto Tinubu wey hold APC together, how the country be?

@IamJustNneka @chosensomto How Peter Obi wan run government without strong people for House and Senate? President no dey pass bills alone, you need National Assembly support. If he no fit even hold Labour Party together after election, how he wan manage full country politics?

I have friends running for House of Reps who have printed shirts, souvenirs, preparing to run under this man’s influence. He did not consider their expenses and investment, he is abandoning them to a new party. We will show you wickedness oga.

@starfortunate1 @BashirAhmaad I’d advise you go back to Nursery 2.

@BashirAhmaad Peter obi as never qualify to rule Nigerian.. he’s just been pushing by some gullible people who wanted to use him to get what they wanted to ceritisfy their selfishness…

Reports and indications suggest that Peter Obi and his blind supporters are reconsidering another political move away from their current platform, the ADC. The question here is whether Peter is leaving to escape standing against other aspirants within his party. It is the same path he once embraced in 2022 leading to 2023 presidential election. If a political figures appear so afraid to test their popularity within their own party structure, it naturally leads to questions about how they intend to build the broad national consensus required to lead a country as diverse and complex as Nigeria. Party primaries are a fundamental pillar of democracy, if Peter struggles to compete fairly among fellow aspirants within his party, it becomes difficult to convincingly argue that he can unify and lead an entire nation with diverse interests and strong political contenders.

No one wants to hear it but you will have to *work* on everything that is worth having in life. Your career, your relationships, your health - whatever it is... So if you don't want to work for it, be prepared to be very disappointed in the quality of everything you get.

@nitrg @Ruffrasta1 Thank You?

Oil states get 13% derivation, NDDC, and all the rest. What have they done with it after over 20 years of continuous funding? We gotta stop acting like wild boars every damn time! Delta and Anambra got 2nd Niger bridge, a project that cost a fortune, yet they didn’t offer a single thank you. Instead, they keep casting aspersions on the President who made it happen. Guy, make una face front small abeg.

No Metro City Line Rail for states that produces the oil that sustains the country.

@Greatix_post @AIT_Online Why don’t they focus on solving the insecurity issues instead? Why restrict the freedom of people whom the government failed to protect? Why should the people suffer for the government incompetence?

@AIT_Online Can they also place general curfew from 3pm to 7am indefinitely, atleast until 2031?

Nigerians are so sensitive.. Content of the book doesn’t mean she can’t go through the proper channels since the book was accepted by ministry of education.. you reach out to the author first, that’s how you correct an Author not running to record video without putting the kids to bed first., what was the purpose of using the kids for clout and putting their faces online

CONTROVERSIAL NURSERY SCHOOL BOOK: WE WILL REPORT AT ZONE 2 POLICE COMMAND TODAY Following the invitation and harassment of our Client, Mrs. Udoka, Mary Queen, by the Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos, it pertinent to disclose that we will be going to the police command today, Thursday, 30th April, 2026. We will be reporting with our Client as law abiding citizens and out of respect for the institution of the @PoliceNG, not because we believe that Mary Queen committed any crime or that there’s a basis for the involvement of the police in this matter. However, we want to be clear that Ayengbe Ebhohimen JB, the author of the textbook, who has instigated the police against our client, will have to justify his actions. We are hoping that the officers at Zone 2 Police Command will be able to explain to us what their business is with this matter. It is also hoped that they will respect the fundamental rights of our Client and keep the interaction professional. Thank you.

@CharlieTTEcon @jh_barnett Can you do one for the continent of Europe alone? Of course the UK will still be top. I want to see the top ten.

What's the source of the billions of remittances to Nigeria each year? It's London. 64% of all "inward personal transfers" were from the UK, worth $12bn in 2023 (out of $19bn). Gulf states about $1bn, mostly UAE (impressive, given the visa ban in 2022)

@PoliceNG From the Video, I could hear one of the team member hailing him. This is definitely not the first time he’s carried out this type of execution of Nigerians they swore an oath to protect.

EFFURUN SHOOTING: POLICE ASSURE JUSTICE AS OFFICER FACES DISCIPLINARY ACTION The Nigeria Police Force condemns the fatal shooting of a suspect, Mene Ogidi, which occurred on 26th April 2026 in Effurun, Delta State. Preliminary reports indicate that operatives attached to the Effurun Area Command responded to credible information from Benin Motor Park along the Warri–Sapele Expressway regarding a suspect apprehended by members of a transport union while attempting to waybill a parcel containing a Beretta pistol with four rounds of ammunition. While efforts were being made to take the suspect into lawful custody, the team leader, ASP Nuhu Usman, discharged his firearm in clear violation of extant regulations, resulting in the death of the suspect. The leadership of the Nigeria Police Force has directed the immediate transfer of the officer and his team to Force Headquarters, Abuja, where they would face the Force Disciplinary Committee for summary disciplinary measures and prosecution. The Inspector-General of Police extends his condolences to the family of the deceased and assures them that justice will be served in accordance with the law. He further urges members of the public to remain calm and law-abiding as the disciplinary and legal processes take their course. The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero-tolerance stance on extra-judicial actions, abuse of authority, and any conduct that undermines public trust.

@Princemoye1 It is not enough to prosecute Nuhu, all officers present at this execution of a Nigerian they all swore an oath to protect should also be discharged from the force and prosecuted!

DELTA STATE POLICE COMMAND PRESS RELEASE EFFURUN SHOOTING INCIDENT: DELTA STATE POLICE COMMAND ARRESTS, TRANSFERS OFFICER RESPONSIBLE TO FORCE HEADQUARTERS TO FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION As CP condoles with family, friends and concerned members of the public, and assures them of justice The Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, has condemned in strong terms the extra-judicial killing of a suspect, one Mene Ogidi, aged 28 years, which occurred on 26th April 2026 in Effurun, Delta State. The unfortunate incident occurred when operatives attached to Area Command Effurun received credible intelligence from members of the public regarding the deceased, who was reportedly apprehended while attempting to waybill a parcel containing a Beretta pistol with four rounds of ammunition. Police operatives were promptly deployed to the scene to take the suspect into custody. However, the police officer leading the team, ASP Nuhu Usman, in clear violation of Force Order 237 and the Standard Operating Procedure of the Nigeria Police Force, discharged his firearm, leading to the death of the suspect. Upon receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police directed the Area Commander, Effurun, to immediately arrest ASP Nuhu Usman and transfer him to the State Headquarters, Asaba, for necessary disciplinary action. The officer has since been queried and transferred to Force Headquarters, Abuja, where he will appear before the Force Disciplinary Committee, currently in session, for immediate disciplinary sanction and prosecution.

@jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat Turn by turn Nigeria limited!🙌🏻🙌🏻

Today, I received my Deputy, @drobafemihamzat , as he formally shared his intention to run for Governor of Lagos State. We have worked closely for over 21 years and I know his strength, his capabilities and his steady commitment to the people of Lagos. Femi’s understanding of governance and the socio-economic development of the State as nurtured by our leader, HE President Bola Tinubu, makes him, undoubtedly the best man for the job. Lagos is too important to be left for experimenting. I, therefore have no doubt that with his values, he will continue to work tirelessly to make our state greater.
