The X post by @vincentchidi6 shares a leaked termination letter from CHO Global Investment, a Chinese firm, ending VeryDarkMan's (VDM) role as Nigeria/Africa ambassador effective October 18, 2025, citing misalignment with corporate values amid his recent public feuds.
VDM's ambassadorship, tied to a noodle brand deal, collapsed following his online accusations of fraud against associates like Blord and Ross Boss, which sparked confrontations with Igbo businessmen in China and broader reputational damage.
Thread replies mock the letter's amateurish editing while highlighting Chinese firms' emphasis on integrity over social media influence, with @vincentchidi6 quipping that VDM's millions of followers yield "empty pocket" value compared to substantive business ties.
The post shares a 2022 photo of retired General Olusegun Obasanjo decorating his son, Brigadier General Adeboye Obasanjo, highlighting their shared legacy as father-son generals in the Nigerian Army's engineering corps.
Obasanjo, Nigeria's former president and military head of state, rose to full general during the Biafran War; his son, an infantry-trained engineer with combat experience, represents one of few such familial successions in the force.
Recent replies query the son's current rank amid speculation of promotion to major general, but sources confirm he remains a brigadier as of October 2025, underscoring public interest in military promotions.
Story: A young girl tragically ended her life on Sunday evening, shortly after her father forced her to marry his old friend in Borno State.
Apparently, she was in great emotional distress after pleading with her father that she was in love with someone else.
The father insisted they must proceed with the arranged marriage, her family supported. Meaning she must end the relationship with her boyfriend and cut all communications.
According to analyst, Zagazola Makama, the emotional pressure and pain put her in great distress, pushing her to commit sui/cide on Sunday evening around 6pm.
The situation was described as deeply unfortunate and heart breaking.
A local child protection volunteer Bukar Fantami Gubio, confirmed the incident and called on human right groups, authorities to investigate the matter and try to put an end to forced marriage in the region.
Happened in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State.

This statement you have put out raises several potential issues from a legal standpoint of view;
1. Knowledge of Criminal Activity: If you had credible evidence, long before now, that named persons (“Sammy” and “Ann”) are supplying illegal drugs to your wife, the law generally requires or at least expects that such information be reported to law enforcement. Failure to do this in certain circumstances, constitute aiding and abetting. I am guessing that to protect your wife, you have never reported drug supply and usage regarding your wife?
2. Rehabilitation and Consent: Forcing or coercing an adult into rehabilitation without legal authorization can amount to unlawful detention. I believe that the lawful route is to obtain a court-ordered medical evaluation or guardianship order, especially if there is evidence of self-harm or danger to others. (I may be wrong about judicial procedures in Nigeria)
I think you should have a media team deal with this in the public space, as sometimes emotions get the best of us. While privately you deal with this matter.

Instablog9ja's post highlights Nigerian lawyer Deji Adeyanju's commentary on Regina Daniels' alleged domestic violence by husband Ned Nwoko, predicting her return due to financial dependence on wealthy partners.
Daniels, a Nollywood actress married to the 64-year-old politician since 2019 despite a 37-year age gap, reportedly left their home citing intolerable abuse, sparking widespread online speculation and empathy calls.
Adeyanju's post critiques systemic issues for "poor girls with expensive tastes" in Nigeria, fueling debates on power imbalances in celebrity marriages, with no official statements from the couple as of October 19, 2025.
Emmanuel Efayeta Kuejubola writes an open loan application letter to President Tinubu, requesting a loan of 12 billion naira, in the newspaper.
He wrote, “My name is Emmanuel Efayeta Kuejubola, one Nigerian from Okpavuerhe- Olomu Kingdom, Ughelli South Local Government, Delta State.
“Knowing well that in Nigeria, we have land to build and to farm on, no one can deny the fact that we have an enormous human resources to produce and consume whatever good that is produced here.
“My father and your father late Chief Obafemi Awolowo in his time, though not a president took many Nigerians from the chains of poverty through free education. I am sure you will do better.
“Today Lagos is a Centre of Excellence because men like you took some hard decision. The task of building Nigeria is great and all hands must be on deck. The act of making a difference can only be achieved by Holy Mad Men because they can see tomorrow, Mr. President you are one of such.
“I am constrained to write this open letter to you having done same letter to my big brother Alhaji Aliko Dangote. President and CEO of Dangote Industries Limited which was published on Vanguard Newspaper Tuesday September 16, 2025 page 53.
“Though no response yet. I have no dea whether he saw it or not. I have a dream and I won't die without its actualization. The dream and plan is to systematically address housing needs in Nigeria starting from Delta State through the development of new settlements which is geared towards tapping the agricultural potentials of our land, To this end, Mr. President, kindly give me a loan of NI2,000.000,000 (Twelve Billion Naira) only. The said money I am asking from you, will partly be spent on acquisition of four hundred acres of land and its documentation at a location in Delta State. Thereafter, I will start the development of 400 housing units of two bedroom bungalow. The long term plan is the development of 3000 units of houses broken into three phases. Developing the houses is key.
“Our inaction can further increase the level of poverty, hunger and starvation in the land. The plan is geared towards addressing housing shortages in Nigeria, creating job opportunity, improving our business environment both short and long terms. This plan will create 3000 job opportunities and provision of free education to 1000 Nigerians from Primary School through University. This I can explain to you at your earliest convenience.
“The multiplier effects of developing new settlements of 1000 housing unit each is enormous. This plan will be replicated in different locations so as to create 3000 jobs and 3000 housing units. The said loan facility I am asking from you will be returned by the 36 month from the date of disbursement by you. Please Mr. President don't give me any precondition to receive this loan. Idea may rule the world but money answers all things. I trust that your response will be favourable as many Nigerians including me and my family will be taken out of poverty.
“Sir, lamlooking forward to your favourable and prompt response. God bless you richly in Jesus name. Amen.”

Her 13-year-old son was arrested, then taken by ICE to a detention facility. The police chief calls it a first for his city
Arthur Berto, a 13-year-old living in Everett, Massachusetts, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Arthur Berto, a 13-year-old living in ...
Any mother adores getting phone calls from her children. For Josiele Berto, they are now a lifeline and the only way to know where her 13-year-old son is and what he’s facing alone.
“I only talk to him – never to any official who could explain what kind of place it is or what’s happening,” Berto told CNN, speaking in Portuguese.
Last Thursday, she was called by police in Everett, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb, who said her son Arthur had been arrested. She was told she needed to pick him up.
But Berto left the police station without Arthur that night. After waiting in the station for more than an hour, an officer informed her Immigration and Customs Enforcement had already taken him away.
“They didn’t give me any information,” said Berto, who is from Brazil and along with her family have had a pending asylum application since arriving in the United States in 2021. “I asked where he was being taken, and they said they weren’t allowed to say.”
Berto and her attorney, Andrew Lattarulo, both told CNN they spent days waiting to learn what led to the arrest – information that finally came Tuesday afternoon.
Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria said in a news conference a teenage boy – whom he declined to name because he is a juvenile – was arrested last week after Everett Police received a “credible tip” accusing him of making “a violent threat against another boy within our public school.”
DeMaria said police did not contact ICE about the juvenile’s arrest and is not targeting immigrants in the city, which he said has a sizable undocumented population. But he was vague about how federal authorities came to know about the case and take the teen away within hours.
“ICE operates independently and has the authority to access certain law enforcement databases and take action on its own accord,” DeMaria said.
Lattarulo said Tuesday night he was still trying to obtain the police report.
“To the best of my knowledge, (this is) the first time a juvenile has been taken (by ICE from the Everett Police Department),” Police Chief Paul Strong said in the news conference.
Now, Berto’s case is drawing local outrage and nationwide attention, as a Department of Homeland Security official publicized it with a claim that is contradicted by local police.
A judge ordered ICE to explain boy’s detention After learning her son was detained by ICE, Berto’s immigration attorneys took the case to federal court, and a judge in Massachusetts ordered the government to either explain by Tuesday night why Arthur’s detention is justified or give him the opportunity to be released on bond.
It was not clear Wednesday afternoon whether that explanation had been filed by the deadline. A judge agreed to allow the filing under seal, but the court document was not listed on the online case docket, and Lattarulo told CNN he had not seen it as of Tuesday night.
“Detention violates his right to due process under the Fifth Amendment,” said a habeas corpus petition filed Friday on Arthur’s case.
The US Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the case.
Berto initially only learned about her son’s whereabouts through his phone calls. He has called her from two different immigration facilities, one in Massachusetts and another one in Virginia.
“He cried a lot because he had never been away from home or his family,” said Berto. “He was desperate, saying ICE had taken him.”
Berto told CNN Arthur had been home from school recently because he broke his foot and still needed to wear a walking boot after having a cast removed. On Thursday afternoon, he told his aunt he was going to take the bus to a friend’s house. It was at a nearby bus stop, he told his mother, that he was arrested.
The first details came not from a prosecutor, but from a post on X by the top spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, responding to media requests about the case.
“Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, destruction of property,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin posted. “He was in possession of a firearm and 5-7 inch knife when arrested.”
McLaughlin did not share further details about the allegations. Although Mayor DeMaria confirmed the presence of the knife and said there “could have been a tragedy in our schools” without the arrest, he was adamant the teen did not have a firearm.
“No guns were found,” DeMaria said.
Because he is a juvenile, Arthur’s criminal record is not public. Police declined Tuesday to give specifics on the nature of the threat or say which school was involved.
DHS did not respond Tuesday evening to CNN’s request for comment on the discrepancy between the statements by McLaughlin and DeMaria over whether the child had a gun.
Berto, who told CNN she was shocked by the allegations, declined to comment on any criminal history and directed questions on the matter to her attorney. When asked about McLaughlin’s comments that Arthur had a “rap sheet,” Lattarulo did not address it in a statement to CNN.
“Regardless of the nature of the allegations, they remain just that – allegations – and every individual is entitled to due process of law,” Lattarulo said in a statement following McLaughlin’s post. “That principle applies even more strongly to a minor who is far below the age of legal consent.”
“DHS commenting publicly about a juvenile’s allegations is improper. They seem to forget he’s 13 and not 31,” Lattarulo added.
A spokesperson for ICE declined on Monday to speak about the case and referred CNN to McLaughlin’s statement.
ICE detainees get moved from state to state Lattarulo criticized Arthur’s transfer to an out-of-state facility, saying it “raises serious concerns about access to counsel and the government’s intent to hinder effective legal representation.”
The attorney’s only contact with federal officials about the case was from a Trump administration attorney who reached out on Sunday, asking if they would be willing to have their case moved from Massachusetts to Virginia since Berto is now held there.
Lattarulo said he declined to agree to a change of venue, but Judge Richard Stearns ordered the case moved to a court in Virginia on Wednesday.
Stearns said his Massachusetts courtroom was not the proper place to consider the petition since Arthur was taken out of the state one hour before the case was filed. He added the teenager deserves a “prompt bond hearing” an under an existing legal agreement concerning immigration cases involving minors known as the Flores settlement.
“Consequently, the court agrees with respondents that it lacks jurisdiction over the merits of the petition,” said Stearns.
The shell game of ICE transferring people in custody to different states without notice to their families or attorneys is a familiar one.
A view of the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center where Mahmoud Khalil was detained in Jena, Louisiana, on April 11, 2025. Khalil was Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate who organized pro-Palestinian protests on campus and one of the first high-profile detainees of President Donald Trump’s second term, was arrested in New York and detained briefly in New Jersey before being moved more than a thousand miles away to a facility in Louisiana. He remained there for more than 100 days before a federal judge ordered him to be released on bail.
Badar Khan Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University, ended up in Texas after a meandering journey through holding facilities in Virginia and Louisiana.
He was released in May after another federal judge said the administration had failed to provide any evidence that Khan Suri’s detention was necessary.
But Khalil, Khan Suri and similar cases this year have something else in common: They are adults.
“This is my first child case,” Lattarulo told CNN. “This is the youngest one I’ve ever done.”
Dozens of community members showed up to an Everett City Council meeting Tuesday night calling for Arthur’s release, CNN affiliate WCVB reported.
“Arthur must be returned home, now!” said local high school teacher Jessica Gold Boots. “Not next week. It must happen now.”
One member of the council called for a retraction to McLaughlin’s disputed statement that the child had a gun.
“Issue a formal correction to the misinformation spread online,” Everett City Councilor Katy Rogers said.
Other relatives are worried about being detained Without direct access to his parents or attorneys, Berto isn’t certain about Arthur’s well-being. It’s a concern she says also weighs on her 10-year-old son.
“My younger son keeps asking about him — if he’s called, if I know anything. It’s been really hard,” she said.
They also have concerns about their own future.
“Since our asylum process is still pending, we were already afraid, and now the fear has grown,” Berto said. “We don’t know if they’ll come for us next.”
But whether Arthur’s case will ultimately result in his family going back to Brazil – voluntarily or not – is now one of many unanswered questions they face as Berto waits for her phone to ring again, hoping the next call will be her son.
“Right now, I just want my son free,” she said. “We’ll think about the rest later.”

‘NNPP Too Small For Me, Kwankwaso Never Reached Out While I Was In Prison,’ Says Faruk Lawan.
Ex-Lawmaker Pardoned Lawan explained that his decision stems from a desire to operate on a broader, national scale, rather than remaining tied to a party he considers limited in reached By Tinubu
Lawan explained that his decision stems from a desire to operate on a broader, national scale, rather than remaining tied to a party he considers limited in reach.
Former Nigerian House of Representatives member Faruk Lawan has alleged that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), never reached out to show concern during his time in prison.
He added that even a year after regaining his freedom, the former governor has not contacted him.
Lawan, who was pardoned by President Bola Tinubu on October 9, 2025, for corruption offences he was convicted of, said that while there is still mutual respect between him and Kwankwaso, he no longer aligns politically with the Kwankwasiyya movement.
“Now a whole year has passed, and he hasn’t called to wish me well, to say ‘May God bring you out of this place’ or to pray for me,” Lawan said, revealing what he described as a lack of support from some of his former political allies.
He said this in an interview with BBC Hausa, further emphasising that the relationship, while respectful, is no longer political.
“Between me and Kwankwaso, there is still respect and relationships, but politically to be sincere, I’m no longer aligning with him and the NNPP,” he said.
Lawan explained that his decision stems from a desire to operate on a broader, national scale, rather than remaining tied to a party he considers limited in reach.
“Even before now, the party I belong to is a national party. I’m not a local politician, and I believe my political reach should be expansive. As it stands now, the NNPP feels too small for me,” he added, signalling a shift in his political ambitions.
Reflecting on his time in prison, Lawan said the experience allowed him to discern who his true allies were. “Whenever God places you in a trial, He illuminates for you who your allies are and who are not. If you are in such a place (prison), you have a long time to reflect on your relationships,” he said.
Lawan contrasted this with the support he did receive from some political figures.
He recalled that “there is not a week that will pass by that he (former All Progressives Congress National Chairman Umar Ganduje) will not call me for us to talk for an hour, asking me how the situation is, including my lawyer arrangements.”
Some National Assembly members and a 10-member committee sent by the House Speaker also visited him, demonstrating concern and assisting with his eventual release.
The former lawmaker described his presidential pardon as a fresh start.
“If one faces a trial and God presents a chance for pardon, then one must rejoice,” he said
“Honestly, my family, my supporters, wherever they are, we all know that the day this happened was a day of joy for all of us.”
He also expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu.
“It was also a day we gave thanks to God, for He delivered us, and to thank the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, for doing what was right and deserving of commendation,” he said, highlighting Tinubu’s role in granting the pardon.
Reflecting on his faith and resilience during imprisonment, Lawan concluded: “This made it so that even before leaving prison, my mind was at ease, and I was convinced that wherever I would go, I would find people to interact with. If they could survive there, I saw no reason why I couldn’t survive outside.”
Trending Photos: Covenant University allegedly paid a staff a whopping ₦102k as Gratuity for 14yrs of service.
The X post shares a N102,000 cheque image as gratuity for a Covenant University staff member's 14 years of service, roughly N7,285 per year, sparking outrage over its inadequacy given the university's Christian foundation by Bishop David Oyedepo.
This mirrors prior labor disputes, including 2021-2022 court orders for the university to pay over N10 million in damages and benefits to ex-staff, and a May 2025 report of unpaid terminations leading to one death, indicating recurring issues with employee entitlements.
Replies reflect public skepticism on the payment's authenticity—possibly a monthly salary rather than final gratuity—while criticizing the ban on unions, which critics say enables such low payouts in a high-fee institution.
Tinubu Urges World Leaders To Declare Theft Of Mineral Resources An International Crime
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on world leaders to recognise the stealing of countries’ mineral resources through illegal mining and smuggling as an international cr+me.
Speaking at the 7th Annual General Assembly of the Network of Anti-Corruption Institutions in West Africa (NACIWA) in Abuja, the President said the illegal exploitation of Africa’s natural resources has become a global threat to economic stability and peace.
Tinubu lamented that billions of dollars are lost yearly to mineral smuggling, corr¥ption, and illicit trade, which he said fuel insecurity, kidn+pping and b@nditry across the continent.
“The st+aling of our countries’ mineral resources should no longer be treated as a local issue. It is an international crime that undermines peace and stability,” he said.
The President urged the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the broader international community to strengthen legal frameworks that crim+nalise illegal mining and resource theft.
He also called for collective regional action to trace and recover stolen assets, while emphasising transparency in their use. Tinubu disclosed that Nigeria has so far channelled over ₦100 billion in recovered proceeds into social intervention projects such as the Student Loan Scheme and the Consumer Credit Scheme.
“No nation can win this fight alone. We must build stronger partnerships and ensure that those who profit from our collective wealth face justice,” he added.
Tinubu further appealed to world leaders to support a global convention against resource theft, similar to existing international laws against drug and human trafficking.
Former Militant leader, Tompolo donates N10 billion to Delta state Security Trust Fund.
The post reports Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo), a former Niger Delta militant leader turned pipeline security contractor, donating N10 billion ($6 million USD) via his firm Tantita to Delta State's newly launched Security Trust Fund, aimed at equipping local forces against crime and oil theft.
Videos capture Tompolo's podium announcement amid officials and journalists, plus his earlier visit to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, marking his first public appearance in over a decade and underscoring private sector's growing role in Nigeria's underfunded security amid federal contracts worth billions for Tantita since 2022.
Replies reflect public surprise at the sum—equivalent to 0.5% of Delta's 2025 budget—with skepticism over funds' origins tied to amnesty deals and oil surveillance, highlighting blurred lines between ex-militants and state governance in the oil-rich region.
I’ve seen it up close. Last year, on his birthday safari in Kenya. He stayed at my home in Texas. Most recently, he hosted me in Abuja.
Reno doesn’t lie like most liars. He lies calm, cool, constant. Up close, he’s reptilian. Chilling. Soulless. Yet so charming.
Once, he posted a video flaunting luxury cars, claiming they were his. Two belonged to a friend of mine. Reno visited, rode in them, filmed them, and claimed ownership. A total fabrication. I stayed quiet then but started watching closely.
On my recent fact-finding trip about Nigeria’s persecution crisis, he promised meetings with Tinubu, NSA Ribadu, and the Sultan of Sokoto. None happened. Looking back, those promises were props for his narrative—for clout and manipulation.
(At his birthday last year, big names showed up expecting Goodluck Jonathan. That was a lie. They left fast, dodging his shameless PR stunt. They thanked me for showing them the quickest escape route on a map.)
In Abuja, after 30 hours of travel, Reno pulled me into a photo-op with the compromised CAN chairman. I barely got 60 seconds to change my shirt. He whispered, “Don’t mention you just arrived.” In the meeting, he implied we’d been there longer. He took credit for trips I’ve funded, planned, and endured over six years — presenting it as part of the “fact finding mission” that he had organized. He repeated this with the next group.
On live TV, he called me the current mayor of Blanco, Texas. False. He knows it. He also said I’m a Republican mayor—we don’t even have partisan municipal elections. I haven’t been active in any party for 30 years. He claimed I’m a personal friend of Ted Cruz. Also false. I shook Cruz’s hand in a receiving line a decade ago. That’s it.
He introduced my travel companion as a prominent Republican filmmaker. Not true. My friend does hobby projects, nothing major in decades. I don’t know what party he favors.
How do you know if Reno Omokri is lying? His lips are moving.
This isn’t bitterness. It’s accountability.
When someone denies genocide, twists truth, and poses as a “Christian voice,” character matters.
“The one who practices deceit shall not dwell in My house; he who speaks lies shall not continue before My eyes” (Psalm 101:7).
Reno, I don’t hate you. But I can’t cover for you. I’ve seen too much.
Lying to inflate yourself is one thing. Lying to cover up the Christian genocide raging in Nigeria is a bridge too far.
People must know Reno Omokri is a pathological, habitual, calculating, self-serving liar—from someone who knows him personally—so they won’t trust his sleazy attempts to bury the blood of tens of thousands of Nigerian martyrs with the manure spewing from his mouth. It’s hard to fathom. I’ve never seen anything so stone-cold evil.
If he doesn’t repent, Omokri will go down as Nigeria’s Joseph Goebbels, cast into the lake of eternal fire.
He’s gaslighting a nation while Christians and innocent Nigerians suffer.
Reno Omokri has the blood of innocents on his lying tongue. He doesn’t care. What’s an ocean of martyrs’ blood to him, so long as he secures the phantom appointment Tinubu dangles before him? I’m convinced he sees the victims as lesser humans. A pure sociopath.
Most Nigerians view him as a perpetually flip-flopping court jester. But wth his latest flip into the killing fields, he is now more like Stephen King‘s IT - an evil clown, in the gutter, luring innocent people to their death.
Reno claims he keeps meticulous records. So do I. This could get fun. 👍🏽
By the way, his grand plan is to run for vice president under NSA Ribadu. 🤣
I almost hope it happens. Nigerians worldwide—from the highest to the lowest—revile him as a self-deluded tool. An emasculated, narcissistic peacock. Peter Obi’s used toilet paper would poll better. Even soggy, it has more integrity.
But if you’re a Nigerian reading this, you probably already knew that.
It’s important that I state that I posted about Omokri only after I followed the biblical instruction to seek his repentance and restoration first. The next step is to warn the brethren. This is what that looks like in the age of social media.
I do not have a vendetta or any anger against him. My heart breaks for him. I was called by God to Nigeria to speak the truth. And that’s the exact instruction Omokri gave me when he invited me. Nothing more. “Just come and speak the truth.” That’s all I have done. How could he be mad at me for doing what he asked me to do?
I will continue to swing the sword of truth so long as I have breath in my lungs, and as long as innocent Nigerians are slaughtered, and the displaced are ground down by the very people Omokri has sided with after flip-flopping himself into the killing field.
I’m completely done with him. He’s irrelevant. And I think his days of being a shill for this administration are over. What he just engineered was a blunder of historic proportions. I kept saying throughout that surely God has befuddled his mind to allow him to do something so fragrantly foolish. I never had to speak one false thing to him, he just misinterpreted everything I said, assuming that he’s smarter than everyone. This is gross negligence on behalf of Tinubu. And I don’t think Tinubu puts up with stuff like that very well, especially from effeminate pretty boys who talk out of both sides of their mouth and our universally reviled by Nigerians, both in country and diaspora. Goodbye appointment, goodbye vice president candidacy. Good riddance, Reno.
To quote a man that I once thought highly of, “I really don't think we should keep over flogging this. Move on. Pursue your passion and live and let live.”
I will not post about him again unless he wants to tangle, and I will respond with overwhelming truth. I’ve only scratched the surface, and I pray that’s enough.
Fair warning: Anyone who stands in the way of the sword of truth will get cut. And cut. And cut.
This is not a game, it’s not a feud. It’s about saving lives. And it’s about setting Nigeria on a path for a bright, peaceful, and prosperous future.
To my beloved friends in Nigeria: Fact it is, there is no such thing as darkness. It is just the absence of light.
Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo has read a riot act to commisisoners in the state, threatening to send any of them that failed to wear ‘Asiwaju cap’ – also known as ‘President Bola Tinubu cap’ – out of the weekly Executive Council meeting.
Okpebholo said he would not forgive any of the commissioners that failed to wear the cap.
The Governor read the riot act on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, during the swearing in of 20 new commissioners and members of various boards in the state.
Okpebholo, who said the swearing in of the appointees wouldn’t have been possible without the support of President Bola Tinubu, noted that several elections have been conducted in the state in the past and the All Progressives Congress, APC, lost because of lack of support from the sitting president.
“First of all, before we begin I want to say that this couldn’t have happened if we did not have a responsible President. We have done so many elections here. The major problem we had was the President is not with us.
“So, let me tell you, before we begin, you see this cap I am wearing? I will not forgive any commissioner that is not wearing it.
“In EXCO if you are not wearing a suit, and you are wearing a traditional dress, and you are coming to the EXCO without this Asiwaju cap, you are going back,” he warned.
The Governor further warned that he would not tolerate corruption and actions that could undermine the integrity of his administration.
Okpebholo, who said the appointments were made on merit, reminded the appointees that their roles are not for rewards but a call to serve the people of the state.
“Your nominations did not come as a reward or patronage, but as a call to serve the people of Edo State. This administration came into office on the promise of practical governance to touch the lives of our people directly.
“My administration’s focus remains on service delivery and tangible results, not propaganda.
“Our focus is not on propaganda, but on service delivery and tangible results that can be felt in every community across our state,” he added.
He also charged the appointees to see their new positions as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the development of the state and not not for personal enrichment.
Speaking for the appointees, Festus Ebea commended the governor for the confidence reposed in them
Ebea, who assured the governor of the appointees’ commitment to his administration’s vision, also pledged support for his developmental agenda and vision for Edo State.
I Have Never Heard any Wealthy Person Say ‘Money na Water’—Billionaire Businessman Cosmas Maduka Informs Cubana ChiefPriest, Others; Says Rich People don’t Make Noise
Nigerian businessman and founder of Coscharis Group, Dr. Cosmas Maduka, has condemned the growing trend of using the slang “money na water” to justify reckless spending and public display of wealth.
In a passionate statement, Maduka criticized the culture of throwing money at parties and flaunting riches, describing it as a “de@d value system” that corr¥pts societal morals and misguides the younger generation.
“I’ve never heard Tony Elumelu say ‘money na water,’ I’ve never heard Femi Otedola say it, and I’ve never said it myself,” Maduka stated. “When I attend a function and people start throwing money in the air, I quietly walk away. This m@dness must stop.”
The billionaire businessman lamented that modesty and humility, traits once associated with true wealth have been replaced by showiness and noise. He stressed that real money inspires humility, not arrogance, adding that the glorification of such wasteful behavior should be rejected, not celebrated.
“When we were growing up, rich people didn’t make noise. All these people making noise today never made real money,” he said. “We’ve embraced a de@dly culture and are now passing it on to our children. That’s not how to build a value-driven society.”
Maduka urged Nigerians to desist from celebrating ostentatious spending, saying the “money na water” mindset erodes discipline, hard work, and moral integrity.
StatiSense's post analyzes the offenses of 175 convicts granted clemency by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu on October 11, 2025, with drug-related crimes topping the list at 29.2% and unlawful mining at 24%, based on the official government release.
The breakdown, derived from public records, includes sentence reductions for many drug traffickers and full pardons for historical cases like Ken Saro-Wiwa, aiming to address prison overcrowding and past injustices.
Public responses on X highlight concerns over the high proportion of serious crimes like homicide (13.5%) and fraud (12.3%) receiving mercy, sparking discussions on equity in Nigeria's justice system.
Presidency bans Wike’s monthly media briefings over embarrassing outbursts by the FCT Minister.
The X post reports that Nigeria's Presidency has banned FCT Minister Nyesom Wike's monthly media briefings due to his "embarrassing outbursts," echoing unverified claims circulating in Nigerian outlets like BusinessDay and Sahara Reporters on October 10, 2025.
This stems from ongoing tensions between Wike and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, exacerbated by a recent court reinstatement of Fubara's allies, prompting President Tinubu to allegedly suspend the briefings to curb political friction.
Wike's aide denied the ban on October 9, and his boycott of today's Council of State meeting has intensified speculation of a rift within the APC, with replies to the post split between skepticism and calls for confirmation.
Wike Boycotts Council Of State Meeting Amid Rift As Tinubu Snubs His Candidate, Appoints Amupitan INEC Chairman
The appointment of Joash Amupitan as Nigeria’s new INEC Chairman has deepened the growing rift between the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, further exposing the fragile alliance at the heart of the administration.
According to insider accounts, the disagreement has become so severe that Wike boycotted the Council of State meeting in protest, sending the Minister of State for the FCT in his place.
He is also believed to have reached out to several former Nigerian Heads of State, urging them to stay away from the meeting, a move that widened the cracks already visible within Tinubu’s inner circle.
Wike’s political decline began shortly after human rights activist Omoyele Sowore publicly exposed his undeclared real estate holdings in Florida, USA.
These revelations sent shockwaves through his family and political network. Before the exposé, Wike had just returned from a medical trip to the UK, where he reportedly received treatment for a heart infection.
Energized and combative, he resumed his long-standing feud with Governor Sim Fubara, his political protégé-turned-adversary, after orchestrating efforts that removed him from office for 6 months. However, Wike’s renewed confidence soon crumbled. During one of his public tirades, he threatened Sowore for calling President Tinubu “a criminal,” a remark Sowore made on social media in response to Tinubu’s infamous statement in Brazil that there was “no corruption in Nigeria.” Wike’s arrogant claim that Sowore was “lucky Tinubu believes in the rule of law” and would one day encounter someone who did not only inflamed the activist’s resolve.
The confrontation prompted Sowore to release damning evidence of Wike’s corruptly acquired foreign and hidden local assets, igniting widespread outrage and drawing the attention of the Presidency itself. In the aftermath, Tinubu’s trusted advisers began to reassess Wike’s role in government, concluding that he had become too erratic and politically toxic to be trusted with sensitive national matters.
Wike had reportedly pushed hard for Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman, a justice of the Court of Appeal, to be appointed as INEC Chairman.
He secured clearances for him through several security agencies, confident that Tinubu would approve. But following mounting skepticism within the Presidency, Liman’s candidacy was quietly dropped.
SaharaReporters learnt that Liman and Wike are so close that he once blocked security agencies from searching his house in 2016.
Tinubu instead appointed Joash Amupitan, a lawyer and legal scholar from the University of Jos. Tinubu is said to have told close aides that Wike was “too unstable and untrustworthy” to influence the leadership of Nigeria’s electoral body.
The breakdown of trust soon extended to media control and censorship. After Governor Fubara’s reinstatement, Tinubu reportedly ordered Wike to suspend his monthly media briefings, arguing that his combative tone was damaging the administration’s image.
Furious, Wike appealed to Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, warning that silencing him would only “make Sowore too powerful.”
The exchange reflected the degree to which Sowore’s exposés had undermined Wike’s standing within the Presidency.
Amid the turmoil, Wike allegedly approached the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to amend his asset declaration, seeking to include the properties exposed in Florida and elsewhere.
But officials reportedly told him that the original documents had been forwarded to the EFCC, leaving him politically vulnerable and deeply unsettled and betrayed.
His growing frustration culminated in Thursday’s Council of State meeting, where most former Heads of State conspicuously boycotted the session.
Presidency insiders suggest Wike played a role in orchestrating the boycott to demonstrate his displeasure with the appointment of Amupitan.
According to sources, the meeting’s agenda initially made no mention of an INEC appointment, but Tinubu allegedly sprung a surprise by asking the Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Ododo, to present Amupitan for confirmation.
Caught off guard, attendees had no choice but to endorse the appointment.
The unfolding drama marks a new phase in the uneasy relationship between Tinubu and Wike. What began as a strategic alliance built on mutual political convenience has now morphed into a cold war of influence, suspicion, and retribution.
SMARTEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD BY THEIR AVERAGE IQ IN 2025!
Nigeria dey number 👇🏽.
Find and comment when you see
The post shares a graphic ranking the top 75 countries by average IQ in 2025 from the International IQ Test (1.35 million online participants), sarcastically noting Nigeria's position—it's absent from the list, as Nigeria ranks 104th with a score of 91.35 based on 1,859 test-takers.
This data uses Raven's Matrices for culture-fair assessment but relies on self-selected internet users, potentially inflating scores for wealthier nations; peer-reviewed studies (e.g., Wicherts et al., 2010 in Intelligence) critique similar global IQ rankings for small, unrepresentative samples in low-income countries like Nigeria.
Replies from Nigerian users pivot to socio-political satire, blaming corruption and poor leadership for national challenges rather than innate intelligence, reflecting broader online discourse on governance amid economic struggles in 2025.
