And the so called strong Wike is busy destroying his own state. I keep telling people that Akpabio is 20x wiser than Wike. If you follow the recent happenings, you'd understand why. Akpabio is a wise man despite his short coming.

A video showing EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede preaching a message of prosperity at Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has gone viral.
The sermon, which touched on financial success and divine favor, has stirred mixed reactions online due to his high-profile anti-corruption role.
GistMedia0: Pandemonium broke out at an Access Bank branch when an enraged customer stormed the banking hall and vandalized several properties, claiming the bank had debited him N1.2 million multiple times without resolving his complaint.
According to eyewitnesses, the man walked into the bank around midday, visibly agitated. Moments later, chaos erupted as he began smashing furniture, scattering equipment, and shouting at staff. Customers and bank workers scampered for safety as the man went on a rampage, accusing the bank of ignoring his repeated complaints.
"He said the bank debited him N1.2 million, not once, and that he had visited the branch several times to report the issue but was always dismissed or told to come back later," a witness recounted.
The branch manager and staff quickly evacuated the banking hall while security personnel attempted to calm the situation. Videos of the incident have since gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions from the public.
It is his hard earned money and you don't play with his emotions despite making efforts to reach out to the bank and was dismissed. I would even destroy more valuable things if I were to be the one. Nonsense.

I called the officer in charge at the ministry of women affairs and social inclusions, IBADAN and she asked me to come this morning, so I set out for the journey around 8:30am.
It's quasi 1:00pm when I got to the ministry which Is located beside the NDLEA office. Immediately I introduced myself, the woman (officer in charge) called the MIL that she should make herself, wife and children available at her office (the phone was on speaker) and I was asked to go and stay outside while she's attending to other people with similar issues. They demanded for #4k i.e. 1k for the letter and 3k for the delivery of the letter at BARIKA
When it's half past 3:00pm, they didn't show up as promised and the woman had to call the mother in-law again and this time around her phone number was switched off, my babies Mama's phone number was not available too.
The officer in charge then told me that there's nothing they could do, she then advised to visit the office of the NSCDC office around Mokola roundabout or SANGO police station. I opted for SANGO police station and she directed me to a policewoman.
I got to the police station and explained my predicament to the policewoman, who demanded for a mobilization fee, I left the police station with the promise to come back. Initially the policewoman was reluctant, saying they don't normally meddle in a matter being handled by the Social Welfare office but she later agreed to assist
My instinct told me to quickly rushed down to their family house at BARIKA, UI second gate, just to check if the MIL was at home or not. The MIL, babies mama and the kids were no where to be found, the door was under lock and key.
Somebody directed me to other family members who are mainly women (the husbands are dead). I explained everything to them with anger and frustration written all over my face. The eldest of the 3 women told that they would see to it. I told them my request that all I wanted is the enrollment of the children in schools and I took my leave
The cost of transportation within Ibadan (town service) is very high plus other expenses at the welfare office, all these gulped my money. I got to the bus terminal at OJOO and I was told that the transport fare to ILORIN is #6,500. I only had 4k left left in my pocket and this was y I was asking for a financial help on NAIRALAND but nobody came to my aid
I opted for ONE CHANCE (4k with AC) and while on the transit, a man bought 3 sachet water and gave me 1, when we alighted and had no means of getting home, I approached the man again and he gave me #500.. The man is working with a research institute in IBADAN but he's from Ilorin, his younger brother married my ex ( the girl is hails Agbaluku -Arigidi, Ikare -Akoko Ondo state). She's also a resident of IBADAN.
UPDATE
I just received a call from NSCDC office at Agodi, Ibadan. They asked me to come but I told them the complainant should give them to bring the letter of invitation to me in ILORIN. I want her feel what I'm feeling, I have to Ibadan 5 times and now they want me to come again. The NSCDC official was telling me that I shouldn't do that.
I told her I was stranded yesterday when I came.
Update
Who's to blame for the communication gap
I called the officer in charge in Sunday to confirm, affirm and reaffirm before embarking on the journey on Monday morning (5th May,2025). She asked to come and I obliged
My wife gave a copy of the letter to NSCDC Agodi and I was called yesterday. The date on the letter as confirmed by the NSCDC is 6th May, 2025 ( Tuesday ) and not 5th May, 2025 (Monday)
While at the welfare office, they asked for money both for the letter and the delivery of the letter ( 1k for the letter and 3k for the delivery at BARIKA). I paid for the letter and promised to send the 3k to the UBA account provided. But when I heard that date is 6th and not 5th I decided not pay the 3k for the delivery.
The officer in charge have been disturbing me with calls to pay the money.
They want me to pay for the service poorly rendered, they are asking me to pay for a job not well done.
I was supposed to travel to IBADAN on Tuesday and not Monday 5th
No dey disturb us with d wahala wey you carry your hand cause. Carry your cross , you hear?
Tinubu's Anambra Visit: APGA Members, Soludo Support Groups Stripped of Uniforms, Warned
Ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's visit to Anambra State today, the Presidency has directed members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Governor Soludo Support Groups not to wear their uniforms during the President's reception.
Sources close to the matter revealed that this decision was made to avoid giving the event a partisan tone.
According to insiders, the President's visit is primarily in response to an invitation from Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary of the Commonwealth, who is hosting an event at Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka.
The President's political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), had expressed concerns that the visit could be perceived as a vote of no confidence in their governorship candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, especially given the timing in an electioneering period.
A source familiar with the planning of the visit confirmed that the ban on uniforms was one of the conditions set before the President agreed to attend.
"This APGA uniform issue is one of the conditions given before BAT agrees to come," the source said.
Following this directive, Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, Special Adviser to Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, issued a statement informing attendees of the President's reception to dress in Mufti.
"This is to inform you that everybody coming to Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka for the reception of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu tomorrow( today) should be in Mufti," Dr. Obiogbolu said, adding, "Please, nobody should put on APGA clothes or Support Groups uniforms."
The move aims to emphasize the non-partisan nature of the President's visit, focusing on the commissioning of projects executed by Governor Soludo's administration, without more.
Nigeria just dey anyhow these days, people just dey do as them like
Omoawoke: Man has gotten to space, land on moon. Created Ai, created submarines, discovered nuclear bombs… you are here using phones to connect with data and satellites and yet still asked this dumb question?
Who do you?
What's the difference between you and the "P" in pneumonia?
You see how fast so called justice works in Nigeria whenever it has to do with a common man? But when it comes to bigwigs everything becomes sluggish, they will begin by looking for evidence and their online dogs will start barking. Of all the many allegations and evidence against Yahaya Bello, Okowa, Akpabio etc. The so called EFCC threw away the evidence but in the case of VDM even to prepare a charge is now very fast. Young men and women see this level of injustice but you'll see them come online to defend rubbish in the name of politics. Make una dey try. Na the country una dey kill.
Celestialsword: President Bola Tinubu has announced a ban on the importation of foreign goods that can be produced locally in Nigeria.
The new directive, revealed after Monday’s Federal Executive Council meeting at the Presidential Villa, aims to protect and promote Nigerian industries.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said the policy, called the Renewed Hope Nigeria First Policy, is a major economic shift designed to support local content, reduce dependence on foreign products, and encourage job creation.
President Tinubu has also placed strict conditions on the hiring of foreign workers.
According to the new order, expatriates will no longer be allowed to take on jobs that Nigerian professionals and artisans can do unless they receive special approval from the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).
Idris noted that the President’s plan mirrors the “America First” policy introduced by former U.S. President Donald Trump but with a Nigerian focus.
“This policy seeks to foster a new business culture that is bold, confident, and very Nigerian,” Idris said. “It aims at making government investment directly benefit our people and industries by changing how we spend, how we procure, and how we build our economy.”
To enforce the new policy, the BPP has been directed to revise procurement rules and ensure that all government purchases prioritise Nigerian-made products.
All MDAs must now submit procurement plans that align with the new local-first approach. Government officials have also been warned that any breach of these rules will attract disciplinary action and possible cancellation of contracts.
“Contractors will no longer be mere intermediaries sourcing foreign goods while Nigerian factories lie idle. Government money must now work for the Nigerian people,” the minister stated.
Idris cited the sugar industry as an example of where local production has been ignored, saying Nigeria still imports sugar despite having local producers and a functioning Nigerian Sugar Council.
He added that even when foreign contracts are necessary, they must include clear plans for technology transfer, local production, or capacity development in Nigeria.

To all these guys dropping some inhumane comments above because despite being youths just like VDM, never forget that when it rains on one person's roof today, tomorrow might be your turn.
