🚨 MARINES ARE ABOARD AN IRANIAN SHIP JD Vance is now preparing to face off against Iranian negotiators in Pakistan after Iran FAFO'd BIG TIME in the Gulf of Oman TRUMP: "We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board!" 🔥 MANY more ships will be seized if Iran just keeps throwing them our way in the region. What kind of DUMB move was that? Iran learns every week that 47 doesn't bluff the way they do.

🚨 TRUMP JUST BLEW A HOLE IN AN IRANIAN CARGO SHIP The regime is likely PANICKED after getting publicly humiliated. They have spent the last 24 hours PROCLAIMING they "control" the Strait of Hormuz. Then they tried breaching the blockade and got pummeled. EASILY. 🔥 TRUMP: "It did not go well for them. The US Navy guided missile destroyer USS Spruance intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman and gave them a fair warning to stop." "The Iranian crew refused to listen so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room. Right now US Marines have custody of the vessel."

TRUMP: "Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them. The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom. Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

BREAKING: The INEC Chairman, Amupitan, Has Spoken About Nigerians Calling For His Resignation?

BREAKING: We've urged President Bola Tinubu to direct Mr Mohammed Idris Malagi, Minister of Information and National Orientation, and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately withdraw the unlawful ‘Formal Notice’ issued last week by the NBC, which threatens sanctions against broadcast stations and presenters on vague and unjustified grounds, including the expression of ‘personal opinions,’ alleged ‘bullying or intimidation’ of guests, and failure to ‘maintain neutrality.’   We urged him to direct the Minister of Information and the NBC to immediately abstain from imposing prior censorship on broadcast stations and Nigerian journalists including presenters and to allow them to freely carry out their constitutional responsibilities and exercise their fundamental human rights.   The request followed the notice issued to broadcasters by the NBC on 17 April 2026, alleging a rise in breaches of the 6th Edition of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code in ‘news, current affairs, and political programming’, and threatening that it would ‘enforce strict compliance and impose sanctions for Class B breaches.’ The NBC’s notice represents a dangerous attempt to impose prior censorship on the media and suppress legitimate journalistic expression. The Nigerian Constitution and international human rights law protect both the absolute right to hold opinions and the qualified right to express ideas of all kinds. Journalistic opinion is protected expression. See details: bit.ly/4ckK5aZ

JUST IN: Nigeria Earned ₦84 Trillion in Three Years, But ₦34 Trillion Never Reached the Federation Account - Obi Says the System Is Deeply Compromised Peter Obi has sounded the alarm over fresh figures from the World Bank showing that ₦34.44 trillion, about 41 percent of Nigeria’s total federation revenue, was not remitted to the Federation Account over a three-year period. The data indicates that Nigeria generated close to ₦84 trillion within the same timeframe, but a significant portion was deducted before distribution to the three tiers of government. Reacting to the development, Obi described the situation as “institutionalised corruption”, arguing that the scale of the discrepancy goes beyond routine fiscal adjustments. He noted that the missing amount is nearly equivalent to the combined capital expenditure in the 2024 and 2025 budgets, raising concerns about how public resources are managed. He drew comparisons to the Okigbo Panel, which uncovered $12.4 billion in unaccounted oil revenue in 1994, but pointed out that the current figures are even larger, yet have not triggered similar national outrage. According to the World Bank’s Nigeria Development Update, federation revenue rose from ₦17.08 trillion in 2023 to ₦37.44 trillion in 2025, bringing the total to about ₦84 trillion over three years. However, deductions also increased sharply, reaching ₦14.93 trillion in 2025 alone and totaling over ₦34 trillion before funds were shared. Obi said these deductions help explain why higher revenues have not translated into visible improvements in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and power. There has been no official response from the Federal Government as of the time of this report.

I won the 2023 election and it was stolen from me. I will still win in 2027 but this time around they can't steal again — Peter Obi reassures in an interview today 18th April, 2026.

Quick reality check: fuel costs then vs now Under Muhammadu Buhari: Avg petrol price ≈ ₦165/litre (official price) 45,000 litres tanker ≈ ₦7.4 million Under Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Avg petrol price ≈ ₦1285/litre (official price) 45,000 litres tanker ≈ ₦57,825,000 million Same tanker, nearly 8× the cost. The question: - How many businesses and households can absorb this jump? - Higher production cost = higher price of finish products. Can anyone tell us how costly Nigerian goods compete favourably with cheaper Chinese product despite our useless policy of naira devaluation? President Tinubu doesn'tdeserve a second term.
