Ikaeniyan0: Peter Obi once visited sheikh gumi due to his desperation to become the president of Nigeria. He does not mind dinning with the devil just to become the president of Nigeria.
He will never get there. It's a dream that will never come true by God's grace
Glimpsetv: A traveler has shared an encounter with a Nigerian police officer who demanded a bribe despite the suspension of the Electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) policy. The incident occurred along the Benin Bypass, where the officer reportedly asked the travelers to either pay ₦5,000 or provide 5 litres of fuel.
This happened despite the recent suspension of e-CMR enforcement, as previously announced by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
You may recall that the Nigerian Police had earlier announced that enforcement of the controversial e-CMR would begin on July 29, 2024. Under the policy, vehicle owners without the e-CMR would have faced sanctions.
However, the announcement was met with widespread criticism. The Nigerian Bar Association even issued a one-week ultimatum, demanding that the police reverse the decision.
In response to public outcry, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, ordered the immediate suspension of the proposed enforcement originally scheduled for July 29.
In the now-viral video shared by the traveler, the police officer is seen ignoring the travelers’ pleas and openly demanding a bribe of ₦5,000 or 5 litres of fuel from those without the e-CMR. The footage later shows the travelers handing over cash, which the officer takes and carefully counts.
During the exchange, one of the travelers asked the officer, “What’s the problem?” The officer replied, “e-CMR.” The traveler responded, “e-CMR is illegal,” to which the officer said, “You can make a call.” The traveler replied that he had no one to call and then asked the officer what he wanted them to do. The officer answered, “5 litres of fuel.”
The traveler pointed out, “There’s no fuel station around here. Where do you expect us to get the fuel?” The officer replied, “You can just go and get it.” Realizing the officer was asking for money, the traveler asked, “How much is 5 litres of fuel?” The officer responded, “₦5,000.”
The travelers pleaded to pay ₦3,000 instead. One of them explained that they were returning from their grandmother’s burial and that ₦3,000 was all they could afford. The officer, however, showed no interest in their story.
As the video continues to circulate widely on social media—especially on X (formerly Twitter)—many Nigerians have expressed outrage over the officer’s actions and called for accountability.

In a deeply emotional reunion, a Nigerian woman welcomes her husband back home after 19 years. He left in 2006 to hustle abroad and finally returned in January 2025.
Editorialtimes: I don't think so. The muslims in Kogi state are liberals.
Dey play. Kogi is a hot bed of terrorists!. The rampart kidnapping in that state and neighbouring Kwara is a joint operation by bandit fulani stationed mostly in kogi and aided by elements in those areas of operation. Kwara is a lot better considering that most Kwara boundaries with kogi are the ones most ravaged by these terrorists.
Mabuggi88: All your narratives are all to the opposite. If you consider those ministers you mentioned as doing well, then that justified why you Voted Buhari twice and still voted for the one that promised to continue from where he stopped. Apart from Wike to a certain level all those you mentioned are bunch of incompetencies. Nigeria and Nigerians are suffering and grasping to feed just twice a day and you are here praising mediocrity. Tribalism is worse than sickness for sure
Did you really read the write up? You need to read again perhaps you are being emotional in the first read. ☹️
You observed the entire cabinet of the present administration, you did not say that you would take the man who is supervising the repayment of Nigeria loans to the IMF and meeting other financial obligations including the clearing of backlog of debts owned foreign airlines years before Akanbi was elected president, Wale Edun, the minister of finance.
You did not say that your handicapped coalition would take Dave Umahi, who even an embittered Gani Ekiti commended for the quality of roads he's constructing across the country.
You did not say that Bunmi Tunji-Ojo who before crossing from the House of Reps to become a super interior minister whose performance has made his immediate predecessor look like a mere prison break minister and a public holiday declaration minister would be hooked by your confused coalition of religious and ethnic warriors.
You did not say that your coalition is eyeing Nyesom Wike, the man who has transformed the Federal Capital Territory in the area of infrastructural development. The man who has shut the mouths of those who thought that the FCT must only be headed by a people from a particular zone of the country forgetting that a certain Ribadu was an equivalent of FCT minister in Lagos in the first republic and no one cried.
You did not see the minister of agriculture, Abubakar Kyari who is silently making food cheaper and affordable.
You did not see the minister of defense, Abubakar Badaru under whose watch bandits are being dispatched to their maker while the ones who escaped on battle field are being arrested at various airports while preparing to fly to Makkah for Hajj to go and stone their forefather, Ashaitan aka Iblis.
Then you open your mouth 'waaaa' and said that your deformed coalition of hate and anger would poach Bosun Tijani from Tinubu's government.
Bosun, who falls into the same category as you. A man who would have been against this government just as you if he was not appointed. A man who no one can point to his achievement as minister of communication.
Mallam, I have said it that you may be intellectually sound as you always want to show to the extent that you think you're the only educated leader from your region but you are obviously politically naive and every day, you prove me right.
kettykin: Cross river state is now a forgotten case , it is as if it never existed before. Benue is as good as gone, delta and edo are on the chopping block, imo state went with Rochas and after APGA, imo never returned, Ebonyi that was a massive construction site is now like a left over site.
God I beg you on my knees, let Abia, Enugu ,Anambra never join APC.
When sowore insults other leaders from other tribes , he is seen as an angel n a freedom fighter but the moment he switched to their gbajue then they start calling him names
Let sowore attack n insult tinubu tomorrow n he will suddenly become their angel
Igboeblie: Sowore is a hypokrite, the master of the kurukere dance. Have you noticed that national protest now is like a child's play.Sowore controls national protest for Tinubu,that was why Tinubu has never been bothered by any protest because as far as sowore is in control, it will end up a failure. Surely he knows how manipulate the whole exercise to favour emilokun.
Thank God for whom he is,Sowore can no longer hid his support for Tinubu and this administration but he is still leaving in self delusion, thinking that his hid and seek game is well coded without knowing that he is dancing naked in the street.
Sowore said that he is a traditionalists but does not hear the caution of the spirit,that Peter Obi is in a mission masterminded by spirits of goodwill to wipe away the cry of the masses whose prayers has gone to the heavens. Save this post
Sowore is not leading your protest. Start your own protest yourself with your people! Stop looking for people to do your dirty laundry for you☹️
