CuriousMynd: First Lady Aisha Buhari has come under attack on social media for supporting the second term bid of Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
Mrs Buhari was at the All Progressives Congress rally in Lokoja on Thursday alongside party leaders – national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole; Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State – and others.
She joined in begging Kogi people to forgive Bello for not paying civil servants.
Nigerians on Twitter have accused Aisha of hypocrisy, saying she accused Buhari’s government of being hijacked by a cabal which did not have the people’s best interest at heart, yet she was supporting a governor who is owing salaries.
CallMeDrino: Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed not to stop the group’s international diplomatic onslaught.
Mr Kanu has been propagating IPOB’s agenda through Radio Biafra in London and visits to foreign parliaments.
In a tweet on Thursday night, he said: “IPOB will continue the International diplomatic onslaught.”
The group, which is supposedly seeking secession on behalf of the Igbo from Nigeria, had in August attacked former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu while on a visit to Nuremberg, Germany.
Senator Ekweremadu was billed to give a keynote address at the Second Annual Cultural Festival and Convention organised by Ndi-Igbo Germany.
He was, however, prevented from entering the venue of the gathering after being accused by IPOB members of conspiring with the Federal Government to proscribe the group in the South East and the killing of its followers.
I love this man's courage and bravery but igbo people as a whole dey run belle. As a true igbo son..... I stand with one United States of America.... One Nigeria kee you there!

Realdeals: Detained social activist, publisher and politician, Omoyele Sowore, has spoken out from the custody of the State Security Service, telling PREMIUM TIMES he is being held as part of a grand scheme by the Buhari administration to shut down Nigeria’s civic space.
Mr Sowore called a PREMIUM TIMES’ reporter on Thursday afternoon, in a rare move to directly send out a message to the public.
It was a message of courage, defiance and hope for both his teeming supporters and the Nigerian downtrodden people.
The Sahara Reporters’ publisher said he would remain undeterred by the controversial tactics of the current government, which have seen him held in perpetual custody against the order of a federal judge.
Mr Sowore, a former student union activist who confronted military regimes and went to jail for it, was arrested in August in connection with his #RevolutionNow campaign — a series of nationwide protests he had planned with other activists to demand a better Nigeria. The protests were planned to commence on August 5 across 21 towns and cities, with public awareness escalating as the day drew closer.
But suddenly on August 3, armed SSS officers broke into an apartment Mr Sowore was occupying with some of his closest associates in Lagos. He was taken away in the midnight raid that was captured by security cameras. The arrest elicited outrage from Nigerians, with many slamming the SSS’ brutal tactics as yet another state-sponsored violence against unarmed citizens.
Members of the movement also warned that Mr Sowore’s detention — which they deemed illegal and unwarranted — would bolster rather than dampen a wave of resistance to decades of bad governance that many believed had worsened under President Muhammadu Buhari.
Grand plot thwarted Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES from custody, Mr Sowore said the demand for his sureties was an attempt to intimidate them into pulling out.
“Their aim is to intimidate my sureties by subjecting them to undue maltreatment,” Mr Sowore said. “It is part of a grand plot to hold me hostage because they have failed to find anything illegal to pin on me.”
“But we know what they want to do and we will not allow it to happen,” he added.
Although the SSS has repeatedly asserted its respect for the Nigerian judicial and the rule of law in general, the agency has a history of repression, violation of citizens’ rights and disobedience of court decisions.
SSS was the agency at the heart of most allegations of attacks on Nigerians during the brutal military eras of Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha. Several Nigerians were jailed, physically attacked or killed as Mr Abacha moved to clear all obstacles to his authoritarian regime.
Despite attempts to reform the agency as Nigeria attained democracy in 1999, critics say the SSS, founded in 1986, has remained wedded to its brutal and anti-democratic past.
Hale, hearty Mr Sowore lamented that he had “not seen sunshine since he was detained except when taken to court.” Only three people have been allowed to see him since August 3, which includes his lawyers and the person responsible for his feeding.
Even though Mr Sowore said he cannot wait to reunite with his associates and loved ones, he said he had come to a fresh realisation that the SSS would continue to disregard court pronouncements and would not release him anytime soon.
“Last night, they gave us phones and cable TV,” Mr Sowore said. “This indicates that they have no intention of complying with court orders to release me anytime soon.’’
Mr Sowore said he will continue to fight for the downtrodden, and wanted the world to know that the Buhari administration has been stifling civil liberties in Nigeria.
“The world should know that I remain unbroken and in high spirits,” Mr Sowore said. “I will continue to fight for the Nigerian people, ensure that the people are not shortchanged and corruption is driven underground.”
“I will continue to stand up for the downtrodden,” he said.
Mr Sowore said all those who support him should not be discouraged because the masses will prevail in the battle against anti-democratic forces.
“The ultimate mission is to intimidate all critical voices and shut down the nation’s civic space,” Mr Sowore said. “But this will not happen and we shall overcome.”
For sowores mind he is Nnamdi kanu or Jesus of Nazareth abi. Enjoy your many more years in custody as dem don samma you with Cable TV and phones. Na till further notice bi dat.

byna: We got married in 2012 and ever since then we have been blessed with 3kids (3,boys). I have a monthly upkeep of 130k for my wife as she only comes to our factory and goes home without doing much for the day aside taking care of kids and cooking.
I noticed that each time we have a misunderstanding, we both keep straight faces for days and she behaves as though she is less concerned to make up. It doesn't affect her chores or cooking as for me I hardly reject food served.
Now, after a couple of days, she would come for sex without wanting us to discuss and resolve the disagreement first.
Even when I feel rudely insulted, this happens. She feels whatever she does doesnt matter as long as Las Las na sex go end am. But I feel it's wrong and issues should be kept straight and fun time separate.
So we had same issues last week and we have been keeping straight faces yet I've been eating her food. Sometimes she joins me for mng prayers, sometimes she does her privately ( we do together before any misunderstanding) So this mng she appeared stark nude to my room and demanded for sex after almost 15 days. I told her it would be unfair if we sweep the pass e events under the duvet. She got up and told me she wasn't ready to discuss any past misunderstanding that she came to f*uck. I told her I wasn't ready till issues are ironed out.
She taught it was business as usually as my John Thomas always disappoint me each time I see her nude but today I was ready to turn her down.
I Want to know if it's proper to always treat ur spouse the way you like knowing fully well that sex is their weak point for reconciliation?
Mature minds pls
As we speak now! Me and my wife are doing the same thing. But the difference is that my wife seem to be naughty and she never would even ask for sex. She will just be acting like she's not bothered and she serves me meals but then she still refused to apologize for all the mistakes that she made which lead to the problem we are facing and she still makes more arrogantly.
Abeg make una give me one minute..... Make I go inside toilet.... Cry for my life.... Pooh she's coming I'm out.
Don't allow the Cabals read this news because if they do? The kain flogging they go give sowore inside that prison this night fit cause eclipse of the sun and moon join together
