The admission that there are police officers who might defy direct orders from the President and their IGP should concern us all.

In my book these monoliths live and serve the supernatural community and irl the government demolished them and replaced them with a statue of Jesus. Heartbreaking stuff

The Ikom Monoliths in Cross River are ancient carvings made from volcanic stone with various patterns, faces and symbols. No one knows who made them, or what the symbols mean, but they are believed to be centuries old and linked to early spiritual traditions among the Ejagham people. They are one of Nigeria’s most mysterious artworks.

The fact that she actually owns a whole football club in the US is still crazy to me.

>The Governor convened an emergency security meeting.
>Government deployed heavily armed security men (military) to the school.
>’Heavily armed security men’ practiced emergency drills with students and took pictures with the students for social media.
> ‘Heavily armed security’ left the school just before dawn.
>terrorists struck 30 minutes after they left.
Sabotage.

We caught up with @AnthonyAzekwoh, whose latest work, The Wedding, blurs the line between art, fiction, and fan participation.
When was the last time a painting trended like a song?

That story of the dead woman being used as an incubator has just been running in and out of my head, I can’t believe it but also can at the same time, massive levels of fucked up jeez. Even a dead woman doesn’t have rights to her body so she can be put to rest 🫤

Having spent 7 years building in Nigeria I can say almost certainly that the biggest constraint for Nigeria when it comes to economic growth is human capital.
The biggest challenge startups have is talent.
The biggest problem in our politics is the quality of people.
Unless we declare a real state of emergency in education, skills and character development then I'm sorry but we are going nowhere fast.

Just look at the Nigerian media on a Monday morning after a gruesome attack.

The Nigerian media should be ashamed of themselves.

Yes this is what we need to do. We need to start humanizing these victims. Their age, their faces their names. For Christ sake these are humans with real hopes and dreams not just numbers.
SPREAD EVERYWHERE FORCE IT DOWN OUR COLLECTIVE THROATS!

Why on earth is @officialABAT borrowing $21 billion?
The scary thing? None of it will go to a capital project that increases our current electricity generation infrastructure stock.
What’s more frightening is the fact that @nassnigeria will approve the request.
Frightening!
