I actually find it ridiculous as Anambra only have 7 professors in Nigeria university. The lowest from South East, lowest from Southern Nigeria?

What's happening to Anambra education?

The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), under the leadership of the Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar, said it is deeply pained by the spate of gruesome killings and bloodletting in parts of Benue State, where scores of innocent and defenseless citizens have been massacred.

While it appreciates the efforts of security agencies to curtail violence and conflicts, the Islamic group expressed displeasure at their often reactive posture.

“It has become a recurring pattern for security operatives to arrive only after the damage has been done,” JNI said in a statement signed by its Secretary General, Khalid Aliyu.

“Such act emboldens the perpetrators and dampens the morale of innocent citizens. Security must be intelligence-driven, proactive, and prompt if we are to avert future recurrences, which is invariably becoming normalised,” Mr Aliyu, a professor, said.

An Abuja based advocacy group, Center for Reform and Public Advocacy has dragged President Bola Tinubu, Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, and the National Assembly before the Federal High Court in Abuja, challenging their powers to appoint officers for the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).


The civil rights group, in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR /1196/2025, is praying the court to set aside the purported nominations done by the President and the approval by the Senate on the grounds that they lacked constitutional powers to appoint officials for the state electoral body.

According to the group in the suit filed on its behalf by an Abuja based lawyer, Mr Kalu Kalu Agu, only the Governor of Rivers State is constitutionally empowered to appoint chairman and members for the RSIEC.


In their originating Summons, the plaintiff prayed the court to determine whether by virtue of the combined effects of Sections 11(4), 197, 198, 199 and 201, of the 1999 Constitution, President Tinubu has powers to seek approval of the Senate to constitute an electoral committee for Rivers State.

Upon the determination of the constitutional provisions in the affirmative, the rights group wants the court to expressly declare that it is the exclusive preserve of the Governor of Rivers State and not any President, to appoint and remove a chairman and six members of the state electoral committee.

The body also asked the court to declare that Tinubu lacked the power to seek approval of the National Assembly for the appointment of a chairman and members for RSIEC and that the Senate also lacked powers to accept any nomination from the President for the purpose of constituting electoral committee for Rivers State.


Besides, the group applied for an order of the court setting aside the list of nominees for the chairmanship and membership of RSIEC sent to the Senate by Tinubu for being unconstitutional, null and void.

They also sought an order of perpetual injunction restraining the AGF, the President and the National Assembly from taking part in any proceeding for the appointment and approval of nominees for RSIEC.

Besides, the group wants the resolution of the Senate approving Tinubu’s nominees for RSIEC to be set aside on the ground of illegality.


In a 30-paragraph affidavit in support of the originating summons, the advocacy group claimed to be a non-profit, pro-democracy, human rights, anti-corruption and public interest advocacy organization registered in Nigeria.

It claimed that on March 18, 2025, Tinubu on the advice of the AGF declared a state of emergency in Rivers State and that the emergency led to the removal of the lawfully elected governor.

The affidavit deposed to by one Emmanuella Alisi said that as a follow up to the alleged unlawful emergency rule, President Tinubu, acting on the advice of the AGF, sent a list of nominees to the Senate to be confirmed we members of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission.


He said that the plaintiff quickly wrote to the AGF and Senate President to halt the process of approving the said nominees on the ground of illegality.

The affidavit said that the Rivers governor had dully constituted the Electoral Commission that has been discharging its statutory functions among which was the conduct of local government election for the state on October 5, 2024.

Besides, the affidavit said that the tenure of the Electoral Commission legally constituted by the governor has not expired and as such cannot be unlawfully removed or dissolved especially when members have not resigned.

The affidavit said that since the defendants took oath to protect the country’s Constitution as the Supreme Law, the court should compel them to uphold the provisions of the Constitution in the interest of justice.

Apart from the AGF, Tinubu and the National Assembly, the other defendants are Governor of Rivers, Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission and Justice Adolphus Enebeli, Chairman of RSIEC.

Meanwhile, no date has been fixed for hearing of the suit.

let's not forget that Tinubu still made the effort to visit despite the challenges. The fact that he went, even with the tough conditions, shows his dedication to addressing the issue, it's easy to criticize, but not everyone would have made the same effort.

Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi has admitted he is not friends with Cristiano Ronaldo, but described their relationship as “normal”.

Messi, in an interview with DSsports, claimed their rivalry ended on the pitch, as they tried to help their respective teams win.

The two footballers have played on the opposite sides of the famous El Clasico divide between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain.

But Ronaldo currently plies his trade in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, while Messi is in the MLS.

“The competition with him was on the pitch.

“Obviously, as always, everything stayed on the field. Off the pitch, we are two normal people.

“We are not friends, we don’t spend time together. But we have always treated each other with respect,” Messi said.

My Fellow Nairalanders,

We have implemented a minimum post size of 40 characters in order to improve our content quality. We want people to patiently compose substantial replies before hitting the submit button. Based on your feedback, we may increase or decrease the limit in the future.

We have also extended the blocking period between members to 3 weeks, because many Nairalanders felt that the previous duration was too short.

Our automated system for dealing with spam and toxicity is now much smarter than it was in the beginning. It's now much less likely to take action against innocent posts. Alas, it is still far from perfect, so please be patient with us as we strive to make it more perfect.

- Seun.

Greetings everyone. I am Mariana, a professional cook. I enjoy trying and cooking new dishes from various regions, such as Indian, Korean, American, and my personal favorite, Thai. I love cooking Thai Food, and my kids also love it, but my husband is different.

He absolutely hates any other food and adores his mom’s cooking. No matter how hard I try, he can never praise my cooking skills.

Does anyone else face similar problems, or am I being paranoid?
