aisha111: PDP NCWC Inspects Proposed Venue for 2026 National Convention
National Caretaker Working Committee (NCWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has conducted an inspection of the proposed venue for the party’s upcoming National Convention scheduled to hold from March 29 to March 30, 2026.
The committee inspected the Velodrome of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, which has been proposed as the official venue for the highly anticipated convention.
The inspection exercise was aimed at assessing the readiness, suitability, and logistical capacity of the facility ahead of the convention, which is expected to attract party leaders, delegates, stakeholders, and observers from across the country.
Members of the committee carefully reviewed key facilities at the venue, including seating arrangements, security provisions, accessibility, accommodation options, and other necessary infrastructure required to ensure a smooth and successful convention. During the inspection, the committee emphasized the importance of adequate preparation and coordination for the event, noting that the National Convention remains a critical gathering where major party decisions are taken and the future direction of the party is discussed.
The NCWC also interacted with relevant officials and local organizers to ensure that all necessary arrangements are put in place in line with the party’s standards. The committee expressed optimism that the Velodrome at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium provides a suitable environment for hosting a successful, peaceful, and well-organized convention.
The PDP National Convention, scheduled for March 29–30, 2026, is expected to bring together delegates from all states of the federation, members of the National Executive Committee (NEC), party elders, and other key stakeholders to deliberate on important issues concerning the unity, growth, and progress of the party.
ThatOndoBoi: As a former CBN deputy governor, former presidential aspirant. He is a Nigerian ambassador, he represents Nigeria and can be called by international friends/bodies about any issues concerning Nigeria.
If you don't get it, then I can't help you. Shikena!
henrybomb: Lol Are you saying that Bwala was right all through the interview? Or you are working for Bwala to save his sorry ass😁
Blinded by bitterness how? Someone is disgracing us and you are here spewing gibberish talk…please rest
Gibberish indeed. He is disgracing us because of his opinion. The interview was more of a personal attack than national issues. But of course bitter people like you cant see it. You only see what's negative in Nigeria. Like I said earlier no one can deliver you from self inflicted agony.
FreeStuffsNG: Hezbollah has been pummelling them too
JUST IN: US rushes new bomb shipment to Israel as troops seek to avoid Iran deployment The State Department declared an 'emergency' to bypass Congress and send thousands of 1,000lb bombs to Israel.
henrybomb: Stop playing this “not peculiar to Nigeria” card At a point Hassan said he was lying because it was written all over him and tell me why he kept “context matters” like it is nauseating.
When you are blinded by bitterness you can't see context you only see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear. Nobody help you that way.

You really so lost. That's what hatred and bitterness do to people's brain when they are hell bent on negatives. For your information moghalu was not a cbn governor, he was a deputy. Get your facts right.☹️
ThatOndoBoi: Be like say you slow. He said friends were calling him. Are his friends supposed to call you? Are they your friends?
Abi na you your brain can't comprehend. His friends were calling him because of bwala. As what na? As bwala friend, relative or government representative. What purpose did his statement serve other than the divisiveness that he has been projecting all along.
Amberly01: In my last contribution titled 'Nasir El Rufai As A Threat To National Security' I asked a number of questions about the actions, utterances, public confessions and acts of sheer wickedness carried out by my old friend Mallam Nasir El Rufai for which I am still waiting for answers.
The last thing I heard about him is that he is still in detention and that he suffered a nose-bleed whilst there after one week and for this he has my sympathies.
I hope he gets out soon so that he can respond to me directly and take care of his nose
What I forgot to mention in that piece was the large number of orphanages he knocked down in Abuja when he was Minister of FCT and the large number of orphans that he made homeless.
Outside of that he demolished 2000 homes and buildings in Abuja and 12000 shanties on its outskirts in which the poor had taken refuge often against court orders and without compensation!
I also forgot to mention the fact that he knocked down many orphanages in Kaduna when he was Governor and that one of the last things he did whilst in office, which he ruthlessly, chillingly and cold-bloodedly carried out the day before handing over power to Governor Uba Sani, was knock down an orphanage at Fadama Badan Dodo in Zaria.
The worst aspect of this dastardly act was the fact that it took place at 1.00am in the morning and without a court order!
Details of other demolition activities that he ordered in the days leading up to his exit as Governor on May 29, 2023 were as follows.
Gbagyi Villa Demolition: Roughly 72 hours before leaving office, the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KASUPDA) demolished numerous houses in the Gbagyi Villa community in Kaduna.
Residents claimed that these demolitions occurred despite existing court orders for him not to proceed and that many of the affected buildings were legitimate residences.
Shi'ite Buildings: On Monday, May 22, 2023—about a week before leaving office—KASUPDA demolished several structures belonging to the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), including schools, a hospital and private residences in various areas, including Kawo, Rigasa and Tudun Wada.
Prior to these actions, El-Rufai had vowed to continue "demolishing structures" until his "last day in office".
While specific reports from May 2023 focused on the destruction of houses, schools and a hospital in Gbagyi Villa and Shi'ite-affiliated areas, some reports have mentioned that the affected sites included structures and orphanages where children resided, leading to allegations of destroying homes and communities.
The demolitions were described by critics and affected residents as "vindictive".
In my view the word "bestial" would have been far more appropriate than "vindictive".
I say this because it is only a human being that can be vindictive and it is only a beast that can be bestial.
Nasir El Rufai was not just being vindictive here but was also being downright bestial.
Even the homes and habitats of orphans were not spared from demolition and destruction!
Like the troublers of the world that take pleasure in bombing and slaughtering women and children without regret or remorse, his bowels of compassion ran dry, he lost his sense of decency and humanity, he forswore the milk of human kindness and he offered no mercy to the women, the children, the elderly or the poor.
His pleasure was to break their hearts, shatter their dreams and aspirations and bring tears to their eyes, pain to their spirits and sorrow to their souls.
His joy was to deprive them of not just where they had lived but also all that they had.
Such callousness is unspeakable. Yet sadly it does not stop there.
I also forgot to mention the fact that he ruthlessly persecuted the followers of the late Sheik Dahiru Bauchi in Kaduna, raided their homes, desecrated their properties and places of worship and committed the most despicable and hideous atrocities against them which led the Sheik to express his displeasure against him by pronouncing a curse on him.
And others cursed him too. For example the women of Kafanchan in Southern Kaduna went on a march, stripped themselves naked and cursed him at a roundabout in broad daylight in the middle of the town as a consequence of his wickedness towards their community.
I doubt that any Governor in the history of our nation has attracted as many curses from his own people as Nasir El Rufai.
I also forgot to mention the fact that he banned state-sponsored pilgrimages for Muslims who were going to Mecca and Christians who were going to Jerusalem which was, in my view, bad enough.
What made it worse was the fact that he surreptitiously lifted the one on the Muslims and strictly enforced the one on the Christians.
In other words he adopted a selective approach.
Consequently the first time that the Christians of Kaduna state were permitted to go on state-sponsored pilgrimages in the last 11 years was when Governor Uba Sani formally lifted the ban in February 2026!
I also forgot to mention the fact that he banned night vigils for Christians when he was Governor of Kaduna and that he directed Pastors to submit the script of their sermons before they were allowed to preach.
I also forgot to mention the fact that thousands of petitions from the Shia Muslims, the Tijaniya Muslims and the Christians of Kaduna whose rights were violated, whose women and children were killed and who were viciously and violently persecuted under his watch as Governor were presented to the DSS when he was nominated as a Minister by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
These petitions were so alarming that they could not be ignored and that is why his nomination as Minister was rejected by the Senate.
Permit me to add that contrary to popular opinion his nomination was NOT rejected as a consequence of the implementation of some far-fetched and illusionary conspiracy supposedly woven against him by the National Security Advisor, the Governor of Kaduna state, the Vice President and the President which is the baseless and absurd narrative that he and his supporters are so fond of peddling to the public.
Only the naive and the gullible would believe such a fairy tale because if President Tinubu did not want him to be a Minister he would not have been nominated in the first place.
I also forgot to mention the fact that even though his successor in office, Governor Uba Sani, not only contributed millions of dollars of his own personal money to his legal fund between 2009 and 2014 when the EFCC prosecuted him but also stood by him through thick and thin, he repaid his good with evil by attempting to undermine and discredit his Government and destroy his future and career.
Permit me to add the following.
Before he left office he told Uba Sani that he must ensure that once his tenure as Governor begins he (Sani) must "right all the wrongs" that he (El Rufai) had committed as Governor and that he had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the state once he was out.
He even said that he would hardly come to Kaduna and that if he did so he would not go anywhere near Government House. Sadly he lied.
He did not honor his word and neither did he take kindly to Sani righting his wrongs which proved to be legion.
His reaction to his successor in office's efforts to right those wrongs was vicious, unrelenting and unrestrained and brought out his shape-shifting reptilian nature more than anything else.
He turned on him with a vengeance and savagery that is rarely seen in politics anywhere in the world.
This was best reflected not just by his sheer pefidy and malicious and malevolent actions but also by his words when he told all those that cared to listen that his sole reason and purpose for returning to active politics was to ensure that he destroys the career, future and life of Uba Sani.
I also forgot to mention the fact that even though the Minister of Environment, Alhaji Balarabe Abbas Lawal, who was his Chief of Staff when he was Minister of FCT and the Secretary to the State Government of Kaduna state when he was Governor, sold his only house in Abuja and used the proceeds to help pay his lawyers when he was facing prosecution by the EFCC between 2009 and 2014, he repaid his commitment and dedication with evil by not only attempting to block his nomination as a Minister (after he himself had been rejected by the Senate) but also to destabilise and discredit the Government that he serves.
Permit me to add the fact that not only did Balarabe serve him in these two capacities over the years and not only were they colleagues at school during their childhood but also that the latter attended every single court sitting as a mark of solidarity when he (Nasir) was being prosecuted by the EFCC.
All that for his former boss and yet the latter did all he could to abort his nomination and stop him from becoming a Minister.
If there was ever a Cesar Borgia in Nigerian politics his name was Mallam Nasir El Rufai!
I also forgot to mention the fact that he sent men to abduct Mr. Jackson Ude, the publisher of Pointblank News, from his Abuja home and that when he managed escape their clutches he sent another group of men to the home of his close friend Mallam Jafaru Y. Sa’aad in Kaduna and locked him up for four gruelling months.
I also forgot to mention the fact that he displayed a high degree of toxicity, malevolence and egregious hatred for Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe state and that he attempted to humiliate and destroy him simply because he could not intimidate, manipulate, control or successfully threaten him when he was the Interim National Chairman of our great party and because he opened the door to many notable erstwhile opposition leaders to join us.

obonujoker: Honestly, this is not life. How can one be living in the 21st century and no electricity to work, to pump water, to iron clothes for work into the new week?
Honestly this is crazy. Going to the fuel station to get fuel and see 1 Litre going for 1055 Naira, is this government not deserving of all the curses of Prophet Mohammad?
We have to buy fuel so that we and our children can sleep at night in this hot weather....
The pain in my heart buying fuel at that cost, and tomorrow now transport costs will increase from mainland to Island, and vice versa...
May the pain of the citizens be bestowed upon the government frauds of PBAT government return unto them... May the curse of Allah Bismallah follow them, and unto anybody waiting for Raining season to come and claim electricity has improved....

Meektunz: Senator Natasha has dropped her phone number in a post she made so that her constituents would be able to reach her and discuss important issues with her. I must commend her on this but sometimes i don't trust politicians because once election draws nearer then you'll start seeing funny things just for the media.
Na fake number she dropped. The real number is our of reach for the poor.
Bobloco: I’ve Received Calls From Friends Around the World; They All Felt Sorry for Our Country—Moghalu
Nigerian politician Kingsley Moghalu expressed deep concern over the recent interview between presidential spokesperson Daniel Bwala and journalist Mehdi Hassan on Al Jazeera’s Head to Head program. In a post on X, Moghalu described the interview as a monumental embarrassment for Nigeria, President Tinubu’s administration, and Bwala personally, though he noted the last is the least significant given Bwala’s prior record.
Moghalu argued that the global audience witnessed Nigeria’s leadership being sharply criticized, which reflected poorly on the country’s political culture. He highlighted a perceived lack of coherent ideology or policy in Nigerian politics, replaced instead by opportunism and the pursuit of power, with "turncoatism" often celebrated over principle.
He also criticized the administration’s choice of spokespersons, suggesting that loyalty is prioritized over competence. Appointing former opposition figures who had previously made personalized attacks on the government, Moghalu noted, undermines credibility. In Bwala’s case, this led to him struggling to defend the government’s record without resorting to misleading statements.
Moghalu emphasized that more capable and principled individuals could represent Nigeria effectively on the international stage, enabling discussions that focus on actual government performance rather than the spokesperson’s past positions.
He added that he had received numerous calls from friends around the world, all expressing shock and sympathy for Nigeria. The incident, Moghalu said, underscores the frustration of Nigerians who see their country’s citizens achieving global success despite the persistent failures of their leaders.
According to him, "It was a sad day for our country. I’ve received several calls from friends from various countries around the world. All were in shock and felt sorry for our country to be put in such a spot."
Moghalu called for a more competent, principled, and credible approach to governance and representation, noting that Nigeria’s potential on the world stage remains immense, even if current leadership often falls short
Glimpsetv: A video currently circulating online shows a woman appealing to Nigerian men to consider marriage with several women she says are looking for life partners. In the clip, the woman—who identifies herself as a matchmaker—explains that she has many women searching for husbands and is asking interested men to reach out.
According to her, the women are mostly in their 30s to 50s. She specifically mentions ages such as 33, 38, 45, 48, and 50. She says she has already successfully matched several couples but adds that many more women are still hoping to find partners.
The matchmaker also appealed to widowers and responsible single fathers to consider reaching out if they are interested in marriage.
She further stated that even a married man who is looking for a second wife can contact her, adding that the women she represents are serious and ready to settle down.
In her appeal, she repeatedly urges Nigerian men who are ready for marriage to reach out and help these women find husbands.
The video has since sparked conversations online about modern matchmaking and the challenges some individuals face when searching for life partners.
Watch the full video and share your thoughts on the growing trend of modern matchmaking.

FreeStuffsNG: 220 US forces killed or wounded in Iranian retaliatory strikes in past 24 hours
Saturday, 07 March 2026
An Iranian Army spokesman says 220 American soldiers and commanders have been killed or wounded and significant damage has been inflicted on American assets in the region in retaliatory attacks by the Iranian Armed Forces over the past 24 hours.
The spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Zolfaghari, said on Saturday that 21 American service members were killed and a number of others injured during Iranian attacks on the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
He added that some 200 American personnel were also killed and wounded during strikes against the US military base in Al Dhafra Air Base.
The Armed Forces also targeted an oil tanker owned by the United States in the northern part of the Persian Gulf, he noted.
US confirms Iran destroyed $300m radar system in Jordan The US confirmed that Iran has destroyed a key $300 million radar system used by US THAAD missile defense systems at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. The US and Israel waged a fresh round of unlawful military aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country and its nuclear facilities.
The attacks led to the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and hundreds of Iranian civilians, including women and children, as well as military commanders.
Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in regional countries.
Iranian officials have said that only US and Israeli assets and interests are being targeted and that the Islamic Republic has no enmity toward the host countries and respects their sovereignty.
MamaFryo: You are owing someone money and the person brought Police to arrest you, this is what you should do.
At first, the police have no legal authority to arrest you for a simple debt, as it is a civil matter and not a criminal offense. According to the Police Act 2020 and the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), the police are strictly prohibited from interfering in civil disputes or acting as debt collectors
Meaning that, the Police officer the person brought to arrest you, is on illegal duty and is on a mission to perform illegal arrest.
So at this point.
1. Ask the Police officer for his ID and take note of his name
2. Calmly tell the officer it's a civil matter
3. If the officer insist on arresting you, don't resist the arrest. Follow him
4. If they ask you to sign any undertaking of when you will pay back, sign it
That undertaking is not enforceable anywhere, so no fear at all
Once you are out
File a suit against the person you owe and the Police Officer for breach of your fundamental human right and illegal arrest with unlawful detention
In the suit, demand for damages of 50 Million Naira
Even the other people you mentioned will embarrass us more…once you tell a lie you have to back it up wit more lies until the lie meter runs dry then in turn you begin to sound foolish and dumb.
Hassan gave facts while Bwala gave lies
Isn't that what all government spokesperson do? You are making it looks like it is peculiar to Nigeria government officials. No saint anywhere all over the world
Alasheyori: #YorubaHistory #IslamInNigeria #NigerianPolitics Before the Sokoto Caliphate existed, Yoruba Muslims were already scholars, traders, and community leaders. The documented arrival of Islam in Yorubaland dates to approximately 1000–1100 CE — over 700 years before Usman Dan Fodio launched his 1804 Jihad from Gobir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S86PNmxWxOs So why does the Sultan of Sokoto function as the de facto voice of Nigerian Islam — including for Yoruba Muslims his predecessors never governed? In this video, we trace how colonial administration, military-era politics, and federal institutional design created a religious hierarchy that history does not actually support. This is not an attack on any individual. This is a structural analysis — and the implications for Southwest Nigeria's political and economic future are significant. #YorubaHistory #IslamInNigeria #NigerianPolitics #SouthwestNigeria #SokotoCaliphate #NaijaVerified #YorubaMuslims #NigerianHistory
Tell them o! They (Fulani) thought they are the custodian of Islam.☹️
