He was the worst leader we have ever had. An ethnic bigot. He redefined nepotism in our body polity. Brought hardship to millions of Nigerians. He was silent as thousands of Nigerians were slaughtered by his ethnic members. He sharply divided the country with his divisive statements and actions. He is one leader we are happy to miss.
[quote author=benuejosh post=136087206]In an X (Twitter) post by his spoke person Garba Shehu. He announced the passing of the former President.

*Doctor of Mistakes*
I made a mistake in 2016 by supporting Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as PDP National Chairman.

I made another mistake in 2017 by supporting Prince Uche Secondus as PDP National Chairman.

I made another mistake by supporting Tambuwal for the PDP ticket in 2019.

I made yet another mistake in 2021 by supporting Senator Iyorchia Ayu as PDP National Chairman.

And, most recently, I made a mistake in 2023 by supporting Sir Sim FUBARA as my successor.

Very soon he will make another mistake for supporting TINUBU in 2023.

A Nigerian plastic surgeon transformed this seemingly unattractive woman into a pretty young lady through a process she called facial rejuvenation.

This is probably the best facial surgery I've seen done on a black woman.

What do you think?

I disagree. Every where in the world you'll get folks who easily collect loans but find it difficult to pay back. But if the system is such that when you borrow you must pay back then no one will dodge repayment. The problem with Nigeria is that the system is broken. Both lenders and borrowers are not adequately protected.

This is one of the reasons why credit card system will never work in Nigeria

Now, what happens to the extortionists? Have they gone scot free? If the officers involved are not punished according to the law, then justice is yet to be done.

Iceking1:
Hello Nairalanders, about 4 day's ago I created a thread, regarding the extortion of 80,000 naira from me illegally by the police, even when my papers are 100% correct as I did a new plate number after buying the car, so everything regarding the papers are on my name, and all Intact.


For those who missed the thread, here's the link :


https://www.nairaland.com/8466150/police-took-80000-me-yesterday


After creating the thread, It immediately got to the front page and It generated reactions, almost every one (99.9%) of those that commented were against the police because what transpired was truly an extortion. I got countless numbers of positive advices.

Including going on twitter and tag some important personnel on the police force, while trying to do so by opening the profile that I went through, I saw some police numbers on one of the posts by the police, there was a post to call some numbers when one get harassed by the police unnecessarily.

I copied the numbers and gave It a call, they were 5 numbers, and only the very first one I called was what sorted out my predicament.

I called the number and narrated everything to the man that picked up ( Detective Barnabas from CRU) THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SIR. So, he asked me the location where It happened and the time, he asked me to forward the screenshot of the transaction regarding I and the POS girl I made the transferred to, In which the POS girl stand was directly at the back of the station, and I did forwarded It to his whatsapp.


He acted so very swiftly, he swinged Into action with immediate effect, I called him yesterday and I got my complete money back today.

After telling him the area It happened and exact location, also the station they took my car to. He called the area commander with immediate effect, and the area commander swinged into action immediately.

I was called to come to the station this afternoon to identify the men involved, but unfortunately they weren't around. I went home hoping to go tomorrow as told, to come and identify them.

But to my utmost surprise, the police in charge of the case called me barely an hour ago that they've recovered back my money, he gave me cash, 80,000 completely.

I want to use this medium to thank Nairaland and Nairalanders, you made this possible, I would not have gotten anything from that money if not for you all, coupled with the fact that I would also get more future harrassments.

Below are photos of the cash I was refunded, in full.

Thank you Nairaland and Nairalanders, you've done what no one else have done for me, In all my life and day to day existence, thank you so very much.

I greatly appreciate.

Thank you 🙏

“He died two years ago and classmates were shocked I had no condolences,” she wrote.

Nigerian fighting for Russia captured by Ukraine‑aligned forces
By : Agency report
Date: 4 Jul 2025

Kehinde Oluwagbemileke Adisa
Kehinde avoided prison in Russia by agreeing to fight in the war in exchange for a reduced sentence.

A Nigerian national fighting on the side of Russian forces in Ukraine has been captured by the Freedom of Russia Legion, a group of Russian fighters aligned with Ukraine. The individual, identified as 29-year-old Kehinde Oluwagbemileke, was taken prisoner in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to a report by Ukraine’s “I Want to Live” project.

The organisation, which assists Russian soldiers and foreign fighters in surrendering, stated that Kehinde had been living in Russia for four years and was involved in drug-related offences before being arrested. Rather than serve time under Article 228 of the Russian Criminal Code, he reportedly accepted a deal to fight in Russia’s so-called “special military operation” in exchange for a reduced sentence.

“Kehinde is one of thousands of mercenaries from third countries recruited by Russia’s Defense Ministry to fight in Ukraine,” the project said. “He fought for five months before being captured.”

The report further stated that foreign nationals recruited by Russia are often misled about the risks and conditions they will face. “They are treated as expendable manpower,” the organisation said, calling on governments to act against the recruitment of their citizens by the Russian military.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a warning to foreign nationals considering joining Russian forces. “We urge all foreigners to avoid joining the ranks of the Russian occupation army by any means,” a ministry representative said, encouraging potential recruits to instead contact the “I Want to Live” project.

Oluwagbemileke’s case adds to growing reports of foreign nationals captured on the battlefield while serving in Russia’s military.

Earlier this year, two Chinese nationals were taken prisoner by Ukrainian forces and shared similar accounts of coercion and disillusionment.

The Guardian using AI transcribed the video shared by the legion and the conversation below was produced:

Interviewer: Our stormtroopers have returned from a mission with an unusual trophy—Kehinde Oluwagbemileke. Apparently, due to a shortage of cannon fodder, Putin’s commanders are luring foreigners by deception to “defend the Motherland” in far-off Ukraine.

Interrogator: What is your passport?

Kehinde: Russian.

Interrogator: Russian passport?

Kehinde: Yes, Russian passport.

Interrogator: What did you do before?

Kehinde: Before?

Interrogator: Before joining the SVO. You joined the SVO?

Interrogator: Why did you go to war?

Kehinde: For quick liberation.

Interrogator: Were you in prison?

Kehinde: Yes, in prison.

Interrogator: And then they freed you?

Kehinde: Yes.

Interrogator: How long have you been in the army?

Kehinde: Five months.

Interrogator: Five months? Where is your family?

Kehinde: In Nigeria.

Interrogator: In Nigeria? Does your family know you went to war?

Kehinde: No.

This man called Atiku is really desperate. He has left PDP and returned so many times that I have lost count. You will recall that he is one of those that helped this present evil in Aso rock in 2015.

fergie001:
A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has expressed deep disappointment in the party’s current direction and declared its intention to join a new coalition aimed at rescuing Nigeria from the grip of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Other prominent figures at the Tuesday meeting in Abuja included former Senate President David Mark; former PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus; and former governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Gabriel Suswam (Benue), and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi). Also present were ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs Chief Tom Ikimi, Senator Abdul Ningi, Celestine Omehia, Senator Ben Obi, former PDP National Women Leader Josephine Anenih, ex-National Organising Secretary Senator Austin Akobundu, former National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, and former National Youth Leader Abdullahi Maibasira, amongst others.

While the group did not name the political platform on which the coalition would operate, news outlets report the African Democratic Congress (ADC) had been adopted and would be announced later Tuesday night.


The Communique was read by a former President of the Senate, David Bonaventure Mark.
