Video Shows Senator Saliu Mustapha's Christmas Billboards Being Dismantled in Ilorin

A video has surfaced online showing the removal of several Christmas billboards belonging to Senator Saliu Mustapha, a prominent figure in the state.

These billboards, strategically placed across key locations like Taiwo/Unity Road Junction, Police 'A' Division, Maraba, and the Tunde Idiagbon International Airport exit gate, were meant to spread Christmas cheer. However, just hours after the senator announced a massive donation of ₦500 million for the construction of a pavilion at the Emir of Ilorin’s palace, some of these billboards were taken down.

Now, why is this causing such a buzz? Let’s rewind a bit. Senator Mustapha, who is the Turaki of Ilorin and represents Kwara Central at the National Assembly, made this donation during the 59th Annual General Meeting of the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU). At the event, he also pledged ₦25 million to end the use of rented canopies for union meetings. Other key figures made significant contributions, including Ambassador Yahaya Seriki with ₦100 million and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who promised to complete all ongoing projects.

But back to the billboards. A viral Facebook video captured individuals dismantling one of the senator’s signs displaying his Christmas message. This has sparked widespread speculation, with some political analysts attributing the act to internal conflicts within the ruling APC. With the 2027 elections approaching, many see this as part of a deeper political rivalry between Senator Mustapha and the state governor.

Interestingly, Mustapha’s media aide, Andulkareem Alabi, clarified that the state government was not involved in the incident. Instead, he attributed the removals to “hoodlums” and logistical issues. According to him, one billboard was removed due to ongoing construction work, while another was taken down because advertisement fees hadn’t been paid.

The situation has drawn reactions from the public. Some Facebook users believe this is a politically motivated act, with one commenting, “This is pure jealousy.” Others called for peace and urged law enforcement to investigate and prosecute those responsible. A user named Abdulhafees Tosin Sulyman stressed, “All we want in Kwara is peace, and let the people’s choice prevail.”

So, what do you think about this development? Is it just politics as usual, or does this reflect a deeper rivalry brewing in Kwara State? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments below. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to GlimpseTV for more updates on stories that matter!

A viral video shows the removal of Senator Saliu Mustapha's Christmas billboards in Ilorin, sparking speculation of political rivalry within the APC. While some blame hoodlums, others link it to unpaid fees and construction work. Public reactions call for peace and justice. Watch the video!

Meanwhile, a software engineer has this to say about VeryDarkMan (VDM)

Software Engineer Criticizes Verydarkman (VDM) Over Account Hack Claim and Missing ₦180M

An acclaimed Senior Software Engineer has criticized Verydarkman (VDM), a popular social media commentator and activist, over claims that his account was hacked and ₦180 million stolen.

According to the engineer, who stated that he has been in the field for over 15 years, VDM’s assertion that his website was hacked and ₦180 million stolen is highly improbable. He added that unless someone had deliberately set VDM up, it is difficult to see how such a large sum of money could be moved from his account following a website hack.

This issue has sparked mixed reactions on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, now owned by Elon Musk.

TossTos:
This needs to be traced then

Yea, they're on it already.

Social media commentator and human rights activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), said over ₦180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account after it was hacked.

On Friday, Otse spoke about the situation in an Instagram video, explaining that the money was transferred to an unknown account.

“I’ve not been myself these past few days,” Otse said. “Somebody hacked into the NGO website, and N180 million is missing. Thankfully, we’ve tracked the person, and one suspect has been arrested.

“The account is now on PND (Post No Debit). There’s N20 million left, while N160 million was diverted. We’re heading to Jos to recover the money.”

He added that the NGO’s app had been temporarily disabled for maintenance to stop further hacking attempts. He promised to keep his followers informed about the recovery process.

Back in October, Otse launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, raising over ₦35 million in donations within hours. Soon after, music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy, donated ₦100 million to support the initiative.

Another lady has shared her house-hunting experience in Lagos. According to her, agents took her to a location in Ogba where she was shown a mini flat. She was informed that the original rent was N600,
000. However, the total package, including additional charges, amounted to N750,000 per year.

The lady expressed disappointment with Lagos agents, pointing out that the apartment's toilet had no window. She also noted that the interior was so dark that she would need to use a flashlight even during the day to see clearly.

Nice question

A woman has taken to social media to express her frustration with Lagos property agents, accusing them of wasting clients' time by showcasing overpriced houses that often don’t match their value.

In a video she shared, she revealed that an agent took her to see a house with an annual rent of 2.5 million naira. When she tried to point out that the rent was too high for the property, the agent responded that if she didn’t want it, someone else would rent it within a week.

She further lamented that agents often call prospective tenants early in the morning to check out houses, only to show them properties that aren’t worth the time or money.

Honestly, the thought of the various heinous activities called business in Nigeria by some heartless Nigerians is worrisome.

From the man who just wants to make money by selling adulterated or dirty water, to the woman picking up empty, dirty plastics to sell kunu and zobo, and the woman mixing just anything with palm oil (red oil), not minding its harmfulness but only interested in making a profit, to another woman selling ponmo rinsed with chemicals to make it rise and thicken so she can make more profit.

Or is it the man spraying chemicals on beans and dry fish to preserve them from spoiling before they are sold? Even your popular eateries are not free from this—they preserve their cooked foods with chemicals so they don’t get spoilt if not sold on time.

One fruit seller was once caught rinsing his fresh fruits with urine. When confronted, he confessed that they do this just to preserve their cucumbers and other fruits from spoiling. There are too many examples to mention.

Most of these businesses are owned by the rich and powerful. They just don’t care what happens—only profits matter to them.

Only God knows the number of people who have died from food poisoning in this country.

May God help us all.

Namaster:
Everything in Nigeria wants to KILL you!

You're thirsty, they'd sell you bottled DYSENTRY as water.

Feeling funky and in a mood to celebrate, they'd sell you FAKE wine made with GUTTER water.

Feeling hungry, they'd sell you fish preserved with FORMALDEHYDE and beans dripping with strange CHEMICALS.

After all these and you fall sick, they'd still meet you at the pharmacy with FAKE drugs.

Nigerians are being slowly SLAUGHTERED in every sip of water or wine.

NOTHING is safe!

NAFDAC and SON need to do more.

It's NOT enough to destroy the fake products, EFCC also needs to prosecute the "businessmen" bankrolling these operations.

Very true!

Lady Shares How a Beans Seller Advised Her to Use Chemicals to Preserve Beans.

A Nigerian lady has raised health concerns after a conversation with a beans seller who suggested using certain chemicals to preserve beans. She explained that she had complained to the seller about finding weevils in the beans she had previously purchased from another vendor. In response, the seller quickly brought out a chemical, claiming it was what they used to keep their beans looking fresh and free of weevils until they were completely sold.

The lady noted that the chemical had an overpoweringly harsh smell, which she found unbearable. She expressed her fears about how Nigerians might unknowingly be consuming foods laced with harmful chemicals, potentially contributing to the rise in health issues across the country.

Naija to the World!!

Content creator Precious Ubani recently took to Instagram to share her unique experience visiting a market in the UK called Oshodi Market, known for selling a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

During her visit, she approached one of the sellers and asked if he could speak any Nigerian slang. The seller then gestured to another vendor, who immediately began speaking in Yoruba, saying, "Me, I come from Oshodi Oke."

Curious, the seller asked Precious if she was Yoruba, to which she responded that she was Igbo. The vendor then surprised her by switching to Igbo and exchanging pleasantries with her. Fascinated by how the sellers had embraced Nigerian street culture, Precious asked if they had ever been to Nigeria. One of them revealed that he was originally from Oshodi, while the other said he was from Mushin.

When asked if they had visited Oshodi before, one of the vendors replied, "No, we haven't been to Oshodi before, but we have our own Oshodi branch here—Oshodi Market. Everything is cheap here."

He went on to explain that everything in the market, including fresh fruits and vegetables, is sold for just £1 each.

Watch the captivating exchange between Precious Ubani and the vibrant UK vendors.

Mind-boggling moment as NAFDAC discovered a large volume of fake drinks and revalidated expired products at Eziukwu Market, also known as Cemetery Market, in Aba, Abia State.

“The volume of expired products being revalidated was deeply troubling,” stated Mr. Martins Iluyomade, NAFDAC’s Director for the South-East Zone.

Consumers have been urged to stay vigilant when buying products to avoid health risks. This revelation followed an operation conducted on Tuesday, during which NAFDAC uncovered numerous fake and adulterated products. These included wines, whiskey, yogurt, carbonated drinks, chips, dry gin, and other beverages.

Some of these products were found being made under unsanitary conditions within the market, while others were expired items being relabeled with new dates.

Regarding the findings, NAFDAC has pledged to continue identifying and prosecuting those involved in these illegal activities as part of its broader mission to protect public health,” Iluyomade concluded.

Madness?

A young Nigerian lady surprised her father with the gift of a new house. She blindfolded him as they rode in a tricycle, popularly known as *keke napep,* to the location. Upon arriving, the lady removed the blindfold and led her father to the front of the house. The man, visibly astonished, could not contain his joy as he danced with immense excitement.

A man has taken to social media to explain how Afe Babalola inadvertently made Dele Farotomi a global sensation by arresting him.

According to the man, while Afe Babalola may have had a legal case against Dele Farotomi, the way he handled the situation backfired. Instead of silencing Farotomi, it brought global attention to the very issues Babalola was trying to suppress.

The man explained that Farotomi's book about Afe Babalola, which led to his arrest, has now gained worldwide recognition. Interest in the book has skyrocketed, making it a bestseller globally. Originally priced at $4, the book is now selling for as much as $17 on Amazon.

He warned Babalola to tread carefully, emphasizing that this generation is vastly different and more outspoken than previous ones.

Watch and listen.
