@TobiAjayi15 The keyword is "quality pump"! I don't see tanks hanging around in most of the countries I have been to, and how are they doing it if not with a pump?

@walata44 Water will not come out from tap properly.

I recommend using this to hold your water tank instead of scaffolding.

"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC." Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian. As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading. Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain. I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party. As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer. Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion. Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope. I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation. I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right. A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO

“Since I came to Abuja, I’ve had like 70% peace of mind compared to when I was living in Benin. In Benin, anytime I’m driving, it’s either police or EFCC issue. Imagine being stopped just because they saw a PS5 in my car, then saying it’s worth over ₦700k and asking me to give them ₦1 million if I don’t want problems. They even locked up my brother and tried to set him up, claiming they saw blood on his duvet.” — Man reveals.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Nigel Farage was set to be here, but he he changed his mind" Does that have anything to do with his undeclared £5,000,000 gift?

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

@aleeygiwa There's a rot in @PoliceNG . It seems the current government has no interest in reforming this criminal organisation. In the past weeks, I've seen multiple videos of police brutalising citizens that they are meant to protect.

Kindly tell us when and where this happened. Treat this with utmost urgency while we await your response.

@nicholasibekwe To be fair to Edolite, he was brutally rigged into that position. The judiciary also didn't help the matter by siding with the APC. He knows he didn't deserve the position, which is why he constantly fawns over Tinubu.

That Edo people were given the choice of voting for a former bank Chairman, who is an accomplished corporate lawyer, or a former chairman of the association of Nigerian lawyers but decided that it was in their best interest to elect this bumbling buffoon as their governor is just wild. And he stands a good chance of being re-elected. Oh! Apologies. Americans voted for Trump twice.

@GLat_2000 @funkeakindele @flyairpeace You chose the wrong time to be a tribalist. How are you sure Igbos are not among those who are stranded? Bad service delivery knows no tribe. Just be wise for once!

@funkeakindele @flyairpeace To be an igbo man is a crime against Humanity All these dragging is because Allen Onyema is an igbo man If it is a yoruba man the Internet would have chilled, cold and quiet 🤫 It's well

Air Peace, what is going on? Since 7AM at London Gatwick Airport and it’s almost 4PM no bags, no hotel, no proper updates.Passengers are stranded. People are tired and hungry. Release the luggage and take care of your passengers NOW. #AirPeace @flyairpeace

@HarrisonBbi18 It is obvious that the other officers present are co-conspirators.

ACP ALIYU SHABA is the Area Commander of Effurun Area Command, the officer incharge of Usman Nuhu and his gang that Extrajudicially killed Oghenemine. Watch out for a Conspiracy by some stakeholders in my State to cover up this crime. Watch out. Till now, ONLY ONE officer is in custody? What happened to others? Including the police officer that assisted Usman Nuhu to fix his AK-47 magazine? TILL ALL THE OFFICERS ARE FISHED OUT, I PERSONALLY WON'T STOP. DEMAND FOR THEIR PROSECUTION! #EndPoliceBrutality #ExtraJudicialKillings #alwaysfilmthepolice Harrison Gwamnishu

@Princemoye1 If this can be done in the open imagine what's going on behind the closed door. @PoliceNG is a criminal organisation that needs urgent REFORM.

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. The Command, in line with the policy of the Nigeria Police Force, emphasizes respect for the rule of law, human rights, professionalism, accountability and public trust. The Command further reaffirms its zero tolerance for lawlessness, recklessness and extra-judicial conduct. The Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, psc, acipm, mnips, extends his sincere condolences to the family of the deceased, Mene Ogidi, and assures the bereaved family that the Command is fully committed to ensuring that justice is served. The CP hereby appeals to members of the public to remain calm and law-abiding, as all necessary steps are being taken to bring the culprit to justice. SP.

@Chude_ND1 And when he dies...... the whole thing turns to derelict. What's the point of this if you're not building a national history museum?

@mahparakhan40 @sentdefender So, what would you call the involvement of North Korea and Belarus? De-escalation?

@sentdefender This looks less like defense and more like slow escalation. NATO policing often turns into deeper involvement over time. Question is, where does it actually stop?

For the first time since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Eurofighter Typhoons with the British Royal Air Force have engaged and downed Russian one-way attack drones over Ukraine. According to Romania’s Ministry of Defense, the Typhoons, serving under Operation Biloxi 2026, the RAF’s four-month contribution to the NATO Enhanced Air Policing Mission over Romania, were given clearance to engage the drones over Reni in Southern Ukraine earlier this morning, after several were spotted heading towards Romanian Airspace.

@BoldlyNigerian x.com/i/status/20476…

@BoldlyNigerian What's the point of paying taxes when politicians end up misappropriating the money? I've just received bills for land use in Lagos, despite no basic amenities being available in my area. Most of the amenities in the community are funded by the residents.

Cos Nigeria has a $2.3trillion infrastructure deficit. Nigeria is also one of the lowest taxed countries in the world. On very good years, the highest we make from oil revenue is $25Billion. This means if we rely on oil & taxes alone, it will take us about 200 years to catch up.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

@tokunbo_wahab In 2026, you won't need a lockdown to clean your streets if the system is working.

Tomorrow morning between 6:30am and 8:30am, we begin a new chapter in our collective journey toward a cleaner Lagos. The monthly environmental sanitation exercise returns, and I am calling on every resident to come out and participate actively. Let me address the confusion some have tried to create. No court pronouncement has invalidated this exercise. The State proceeded to the Court of Appeal, and judgment was delivered in our favour. The Court affirmed that the laws used for the implementation and enforcement of environmental sanitation are legitimate and constitutional. So disregard those who choose to mislead the public. We have planned this for over a year. We have thought it through. We cannot keep complaining about dirty surroundings and blaming government while shirking our own responsibilities. The care of our environment is a collaborative project between government and citizens. Major transport unions controlling about 90% of vehicles on our roads have pledged not to deploy their vehicles from major parks during the sanitation window. If government vehicles are staying put, what will it cost us to stay home for just two hours to clean our environment? We are not unreasonable. Exceptions exist for emergencies, scheduled flights, and students writing JAMB exams. LAWMA has been fully mobilized to evacuate waste generated. Environmental health officers will monitor properties, and defaulters will be served abatement notices. Tomorrow, let us show Lagos and the world that we are ready to take ownership of our environment. Two hours. One Saturday each month. A cleaner, healthier, flood-free Lagos for all of us. #LagosSanitationExercise #CleanerLagos
