Segun Showunmi from The Alternative Movement is telling Dapo Abiodun and Gbenga Daniel to quit their drama because regular people in Ogun State are catching strays. The activist wants President Bola Tinubu to step in and make these guys chill out since their beef over who gets the senate seat in 2027 is getting messy.
Daniel recently went off about Abiodun running a closed-door government and blocking federal projects, while the governor's team fired back, saying those projects were of trash quality and did not meet standards. Showunmi pointed out how wild it is that these former friends cannot sort things out, and he threw shade at Tinubu for being weak and not summoning both of them already.
The whole thing has turned into...
Alex Otti from Abia State rolled up to see President Bola Tinubu in Abuja, and everyone thinks it has everything to do with getting Nnamdi Kanu out of prison. The IPOB leader got slapped with life behind bars for terrorism stuff, which set off a bunch of protests and people demanding his freedom.
Otti had just gotten back from checking on Kanu at the Sokoto lockup, and he brought along the guy's brother plus some legal heavyweights from the state government. The governor told people he is working every angle to spring Kanu loose while the convicted separatist still has the option to appeal.
Nobody knows what went down between Otti and Tinubu yet, but it looks like part of a bigger play to sort out the whole mess through political...
Seventeen people caught up in drug cases just got hit with 84 years of prison time combined by courts in Edo State, but they can dodge jail if they cough up 27.25 billion naira total. Mitchell Ofoyeju from the NDLEA said three women and 14 men got sentenced for messing around with everything from weed to meth to tramadol.
The whole batch got convicted through two different judges who handed down sentences that ran at the same time instead of back-to-back. Four people got stuck with 15 years each and collectively face 12.75 billion in fines if they want to skip lockup.
Ofoyeju says the agency is going to keep cracking down on drug dealers and users while making sure everyone who gets caught faces serious consequences. All these...
Dayo Adeyeye from the Nigerian Ports Authority dropped some wild claims about security problems being cooked up by people trying to tank President Bola Tinubu before 2027 rolls around. The senator was getting an award at Obafemi Awolowo University when he said violence and kidnappings are definitely not random chaos but instead coordinated sabotage.
Adeyeye thinks the whole thing is going to blow up in the faces of whoever is behind it because Tinubu is already rolling out emergency security plans. He mentioned more police on the ground, better weapons, and states getting their police forces as fixes that could end the problem for good.
The former Works Minister seems pretty confident the president is treating this seriously and that...
Peter Mbah just dropped a massive 1.62 trillion naira budget for Enugu State, and the guy is talking big about transforming everything. The governor told lawmakers this is 66 percent bigger than what they had this year, with most of the cash going to actual projects instead of just paying salaries.
Mbah is planning some wild stuff like buying 14 more planes for the state airline, building 1200 city roads, and constructing 15000 houses. Education is getting a third of the whole budget because he does not want kids sitting at home with nothing to do. He also set aside 20 billion naira to finally pay retired workers what they are owed instead of making them wait forever.
The state is apparently making way more money than before, with...
Justice Abiodun Ayodele Adebara from Kwara State let 16 people walk out of jail after checking out the Okekura and Mandala lockups. The chief judge freed some folks who had been rotting away with no trial, others dealing with health problems, and a few who barely had charges that made sense.
The whole point was clearing out overpacked facilities and making sure the system actually works as it should. Adebara told everyone involved in criminal justice to get their act together and stop letting people sit in cells forever while waiting for their day in court.
The corrections boss thanked the judge for showing up and cutting people loose, then told the freed inmates to stay out of trouble and not end up back behind bars.
Adewale Egbedun from the Osun State House of Assembly is telling Seyi Makinde from Oyo State to back off and stop trying to control their political scene. Egbedun made it clear that Makinde needs to find somewhere else to play his 2027 presidential games because Osun lawmakers are not having it.
The whole thing kicked off during some messy drama around the PDP primary elections. Egbedun says people claiming to be PDP members from Osun are basically frauds, and he is not about to let some governor from another state walk in and start calling shots. He pointed out that Osun has a full lineup of elected officials who won on PDP tickets, and they are legit members who will not be taking orders from outsiders.
Basically, Makinde can chase...
Meta just yanked Eedris Abdulkareem's Facebook and Instagram accounts after the Nigerian rapper dropped a track called Open Letter to Donald Trump asking the president to help fix security problems back home. The musician went hard at Nigerian politicians in the song, calling them criminals who get rich while regular people deal with kidnappings and terrorism.
This is not his first time getting censored for talking trash about people in power. He got banned by Nigeria's broadcasting commission after releasing Tell Your Papa earlier in the year, which told Seyi Tinubu to let his dad know how bad things are getting for citizens. Back in 2004, President Obasanjo tried blocking his song Jaga Jaga, but it ended up becoming an underground...
2Baba's old manager, Kaka Igbokwe, confirmed the singer got arrested at a UK airport after his pregnant wife, Natasha Osawaru, went off on him during their concert trip. The whole situation started when 2Baba wandered into a shop with fans after landing and apparently forgot about Natasha, who got left behind, and then lost it when he rushed back to her.
Kaka was on the same flight with them and said everything people heard about the arrest actually happened. The African Queen artist got handcuffed while Natasha, who serves in the Edo State House of Assembly, yelled at him in front of everyone. 2Baba ended up missing his scheduled performance because of the incident, and a video of the whole mess got posted online and reignited debates...
