DrMB:
Nnamdi Kanu's 'treason' trial in 2025 is already making headlines with a bombshell list of witnesses, including current and former Governors, Ministers, and top security chiefs!
Does this witness list signify a strong, prepared defence ready to challenge the Nigerian state's case head-on? Or is it a strategic move to raise the political stakes?
Do you believe this powerful list increases Nnamdi Kanu's chances of a successful defence and ultimate release?

Because ADC cannot win in Kwara, Osun and Anambra, their offices should be burnt down.

buckeyemedia:
Cannot even win in their respective wards.

What PDP and LP could not do.
For a mega party to win ,it must have a structure across the country.

Vinnie2000:
Dave Umahi was Ebonyi state Governor in 2023 but couldn't deliver his state to Tinubu/APC.

Even his Family members (who knew better) Defied him.

Same with El-Rufai who could not deliver Kaduna to Tinubu.

So now currently, Can the likes of
*Peter Mbah
*Douye Diri
*Eno Bassey
*Sheriff Oborewvori
Etc, convince their citizens and Deliver their States to Tinubu in 2027?🤔

Drop your Take!🙂

jesusjnr2020:
Proof Hell Fire Wasn't Made For Humans

Some often ask why would a loving God prepare or make a place of torment called hell fire to burn the same humans He claims to love for all eternity?

The truth is that God never made hell fire to punish humans eternally for their sins, and this can be proven by the particular saying of Jesus:

Matthew 25:41 (KJV)

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Therefore the question itself is not only based on a false premise but also illinformed, as hell fire was never made for humans in the first place, but a place prepared for the devil and his angels who were cast out of heaven.

God bless.

blackgold2018:
if Tinubus opponent wins hope you wouldn’t say it rigging ba?

blackgold2018:
to be influenced by rigging Abi? That will be the game plan of APC, to use that opportunity to rigg on those states governors defected to Apc. An excuse to rigg.

And that’s what you meant right??

Influence or Rig?

Most Important Defection Yet To Take Place – Makinde
According to him, only the Nigerian people, not defections or political manoeuvres, will decide the outcome of the 2027 general election.

Penguin2:
I’m not going to write long tales. Yeah, I will just go straight to the point.

With the wave of defections going on, very soon all Southern Governors might be in APC.

And if we check very well, almost all Southern governors who are yet to join APC seem amenable to Tinubu’s re-election.

Name them, Gov Adeleke of Osun is not in APC today because of the pushback of APC stalwarts in Osun.

Gov Otti of Abia has never hidden his friendship with Tinubu.

Gov Diri is touted to have resigned from PDP en route APC.

Gov Fubara is only a governor on paper that even if he doesn’t defect cannot do much to harm Tinubu’s gameplan for Rivers.

Only Makinde seems to be on his own and that’s because he wants to answer Presidential candidate in 2027.

My point is, with what is currently happening in the south, the ADC or any opposition coalition giving their ticket to a northerner will just make 2027 Presidential Election an easy ride for Tinubu as it will become a north vs south affair. And with vast of the Middle Belt amenable to Southern sentiments, and with whatever Tinubu would be able to muscle from the rest of the North, he’s sure to win in 2027.

So, if the opposition is truly interested in challenging Tinubu in 2027, their ONLY option is to willingly hand the ticket to Peter Obi.

Why? Because with Obi, the south will be broken; with Obi taking Southeast and Southsouth again.

Again, the Middle Belt and northern Christians are still sold out to Obi.

Then you add whatever influence Atiku and his men can bring for Obi from the core North and you will see Tinubu struggling, if not beaten silly.

This is the only practical, logical and realistic option left for the opposition.

If you think they have a better option, convince us otherwise.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

So, over to you!
What would you like to tell President Bola Ahmed Tinubu To Do For Nigeria?

PulaPower:
But why did they block him? Considering that the Adelekes used to be ACN stakeholders back then..

Their elder brother that died was suppose to be Apc candidate instead of Oyetola..

https://x.com/YeleSowore/status/1977088596864565672?t=OI9LcUCw6kUZLq6QSwaKkQ&s=19[/quote]Maryam Sanda

I read with chagrin the release of Maryam Sanda who murdered her husband and made several attempts to cover her homicide.

The Federal High Court judge ( Yusuf Haiku) that convicted her claimed Maryam could not explain what happened to the broken Shisha pot in the sitting room on the fateful day. He assumed based on the circumstances before him that she used the broken Shisha to kill her husband. Additionally she was the last person with the deceased and must be responsible for his death.


Dissatisfied, the woman approached the AC which upheld the judgement of the lower court.


His Excellency PBAT used his prerogative power to pardon her having spent 6 years in jail as a convicted criminal based on her remorse and a good character at the Abuja Correctional Center.

One will think if this action of Mr President is justifiable.

In my opinion, the Amnesty Committee headed by the AGN must have contacted Sanda's family and sought their opinion on the release of the woman.

PBAT reserves the right to free any criminal in the Nigerian Correctional Centres.

However, since life is involved, the woman should have spent about 15 years in jail before she is released..


The excuse of taking care of the children seems flimsy. If she died on the fateful day,would the two children not survive?


The amnesty of Mr President may send a wrong signal to other couples who may think justice may be denied even if homicide is committed..


Husband and wife should be tolerant of each other as anger always ends in chaos and lifelong regrets.

Theme: “Access to Services — Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies”

Let’s be honest — life itself feels like a constant emergency these days.
Everywhere you turn, there’s chaos — from rising costs to insecurity, floods, job losses, and uncertainty about tomorrow.

And yet, in all this, very few people ever stop to ask:
👉 “How are you really holding up?”

This year’s theme hits home because mental health struggles don’t only happen to people in war zones or disaster areas.
They happen to the woman who lost her shop in a fire.
To the man who got laid off after years of service.
To the student drowning in anxiety because of school pressure.
To the mother who can’t sleep because her child is sick and hospitals are too expensive.
To the survivor of violence who smiles outside but is breaking inside.

For many Nigerians (and people around the world), there’s no one to talk to, no safe place to heal, no real access to help.
Therapy is expensive, government support is almost non-existent, and even friends sometimes say, “Just pray about it.”

But mental health isn’t something to pray away or ignore — it’s health.
And just like malaria or diabetes, it needs attention, care, and understanding.

We all go through storms — some visible, some hidden.
So today, let’s remind ourselves and everyone around us:
💚 It’s okay not to be okay.
💬 It’s okay to ask for help.
🤝 It’s okay to rest, cry, or take a break when it gets too heavy.

Most importantly, let’s stop judging and start supporting.
Because sometimes, a listening ear can save a life.

So:

How are you really doing — mentally and emotionally?
Have you ever gone through something that affected your mental health, but you had no access to help?
Share your thoughts — someone out there might need to hear your story today. 🌿
