It is both shocking and deeply disappointing that the very first major assignment before Amiputan has already exposed him as anything but impartial. What should have been a moment to inspire confidence has instead raised troubling questions about bias and credibility.

For the first time, we are witnessing an academia, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, stumble so visibly. A man expected to embody legal brilliance now appears startlingly out of depth, struggling to grasp even the foundational laws governing the very commission he presides over. Is this merely an embarrassment, or a calculated charade?

What unfolds before us seems less like coincidence and more like a carefully orchestrated script. Many are beginning to see what appears to be a premeditated alliance between the APC and INEC; a quiet but deliberate effort to engineer an unchallenged path for PBAT to stand as the sole presidential contender.

But Nigerians are not blind, and they are certainly not powerless. If this is indeed a scheme, it is one that will meet fierce resistance from a people unwilling to watch democracy be reduced to a hollow performance.

And beyond the politics lies an even more pressing concern that PBAT himself, a figure weighed down not just by age, but by a long trail of controversies that continue to cast a shadow over his suitability to lead.

The stakes have never been higher, and the nation is watching.

This one with a failing health and other disability challenges! His words are mere rhetoric. The Asari we knew and sympathized with then is not the attention seeking mugu that we now see on social media. He may have money but he has no power and stamina anymore. Take this to the bank

Itel is the worst phone I have ever used. I was among the early buyers of 'City 100'. Infact that phone can frustrate your life. So when I see the name Itel, I run for my dear life

This is absurd. What da faaak! So all countries will now be slaves to the US, right? Why do we just fall out, fight to finish and bury this world sef. Cos the US is making the world uncomfortable for every other country. Nonsense!!

Dotherightthing:
Nigerian muslims go cry tire

Iran is 'winning' indeed

Who pass you pass you

Point of correction; Northern muslims

Let thy hubby apologize to Nigerians for shouting, claiming, fighting and running away with 'Emilokan'. Emilokan is a damned entitlement syndrome

Summary:

Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to move away from an “entitlement mentality” and instead embrace responsibility, integrity, and service to society. She made this appeal while hosting an interfaith Iftar and Lenten gathering for women from different sectors of the country.
She noted that the coincidence of the Muslim Ramadan fast and the Christian Lenten season sends a strong message of unity and peaceful coexistence for Nigeria. Despite attempts by some people to create religious divisions, she stressed that Nigerians have historically lived peacefully together regardless of faith.
Drawing from her personal experience of nearly 40 years of marriage to President Bola Tinubu, she said mutual respect and maturity have helped them maintain harmony despite religious differences.
The First Lady also encouraged women in leadership positions and wives of public officials to play active roles in promoting responsible governance and national development, while mentoring younger generations.
At the event, Professor Ganiyat Adejoke Adesina-Uthman of the National Open University of Nigeria highlighted the growing crisis of trust in public office, emphasizing that integrity must remain a non-negotiable value in public service.

Summary

Nigerian Railway Corporation Managing Director Kayode Opeifa says Nigeria’s rail sector is expanding quickly and remains important for economic growth, trade, and job access. Rail transport helps connect farmers, manufacturers, and markets while improving logistics and supply chains.

He explained that train derailments are common worldwide and should not be seen as unusual failures. In 2025, Nigeria recorded three major derailments (Kaduna and twice on the **Warri–Itakpe railway line), but the NRC restored services quickly—one within 24 hours and others within weeks. He noted that similar incidents occur globally and Nigeria’s recent cases caused no deaths, unlike some incidents in Spain, Egypt, and the United Kingdom.

On corruption allegations, Opeifa declined to comment because related issues are in court but challenged critics to provide proof of mismanagement.

He said the NRC is rehabilitating locomotives and expanding services, including increasing trips on the Abuja–Kaduna railway and maintaining operations on the Warri–Itakpe railway.

The government’s national railway roadmap aims to connect major Nigerian cities with rail lines. Ongoing or planned projects include:

The Lagos–Ibadan railway (part of the Lagos–Kano corridor).

The Kano–Maradi railway linking northern cities and neighboring Niger Republic.

Connections from Lekki Deep Sea Port to cities like Benin City, Onitsha, and Aba for both passenger and cargo transport.

He also said modernization is ongoing, including better signaling systems and new metro projects in Lagos, Kaduna, and Kano, as Nigeria transitions from narrow gauge to more modern standard-gauge rail.

Overall: The NRC says Nigeria’s rail network is gradually expanding and modernizing, though progress depends heavily on funding and phased project execution.

Ofoegbu maintained that the state government is working tirelessly to recover a substantial number of Anambra oil wells currently claimed by Imo, Delta, Rivers, and Enugu States due to boundary issues, which will, in turn, increase the state’s 13 per cent oil derivation from the Federal Government.

He revealed that his agency is currently opening a kaolin mining site at Ukpor in Nnewi South Local Government Area, which will also generate significant revenue for the state.

"Mr Abdullahi added that despite the current administration’s claim of “performing wonders,” Nigerians still live in poverty. Hmmm 🤔

Is alright. May God bless PBAT. But he should allow other parties to breathe

Lagos is ready, Lagos is ready; oya prove your capability and worth. No be cho cho everytime

From the little beginnings, the greater often grows. Congratulations to NDC, wishing members and the party well.

Congratulations. More wins as PDP has been obliterated by Wicked W!ke

CSP Bright Edafe fits proper into that position. The guy is good

Ofunaofu:
Mynd44, would have made this exact comment if he had defected to the APC.


Purge this trib.al bîgótry and divisive campaigning from your rhetoric, you’re a mod, for Pete’s sake.

APC paid Mod. Spoilers of Nairaland

SeverusSnape:
Bros calm down, I was being sarcastic, mimicking those tulumbu bots.

Is alright but let's hit it the way it ought to be because not many will understand where you are coming from

SeverusSnape:
Bishop Onaiyekan is a pained loser for daring to say that TUluMbU is not doing well...

I can't figure out the sort of human being you are made. With people like, this country ain't going to make any of progress. Fuuuul!

Is a nice platform. However, allow current replies to topics to be on top. It will make reading more interesting. A situation in which current responses to issue are taken down is not really the best. My suggestion, anyway

richmond500:
They are both loyalists of the governor while the former chief of staff is now part of the convention team.
SIM Fubara is still in control and fully in charge

You think so? Well, let time tell

Fubara, the sleepy one. Well, it is said that if you can't beat them, simply join them. Wish you well, Mr. Governor

Hmmm, funny but not too funny times ahead. But let's ask ourselves the true question: Is Tinubu the best in a more than 250 million Nigerians? Why the hype?

What Rufai says, I like. What Onanga Bayo says, I dislike with venom. APC came to steal, kill and bury democracy in Nigeria

Tinubu actually offended Hell-Rufai! How can you ask someone who was already going on his own to swear and join you, then you went and back-stabbed him. It is not fair na!
Anyway, I am not a fan of Hell-Rufai PunnaTinubu

Testing the waters. For INEc, it is either you make it or we mar you! Anything short of free, fair and credible elections will signal an end to hope

The ADC epitomizes a change for a better tomorrow. If Nigerians really need a change, then it should begin now to voting out APC and all that concerns the party of gangsterism and hardships

Nice move. Curbing corruption must be matched with physical actions such as this. Thumbs up?

Men of God no longer heed Christ's admonishment to turn the other cheek if slapped by anybody. It is an eye for an eye nowadays. We wait who goes to heaven with all this shenanigans at work

Try to recognize voices; ask questions and be convinced before you open your door to anybody. Pls take time, no rush. Security is now everybody's business. Naija is no longer safe. Be wise!

And to that Predator; that evil man: your punishment has finished doing its press-up. Be ready for the consequences
