Kunle28: One day, for sure; The phones will ring, the messages will be sent, and the hearts will ache. That day; the news of your death will spread, just as you received that of others.
Your family and associates will gather, Your friends and colleagues will wonder; because tomorrow you will not be at the meeting nor at your desk. Your name will change to that of 'The corpse',your children will look as you are wrapped in a cloth.
Your new home will be dug, and your belongings will be sought. Your pictures will be shared and your memories recalled.
Your wives; 'widows', your children; 'orphans'. Those are titles, you thought were for others.
Those you love; will lay you into the earth. Those you cherish, will pass the mud.With their very own hands, they will push and cover you aground. Then they will leave and continue their rounds.
It may be now, it may be later; but surely, this day, we will all encounter...
Yes but at a ripe age of 110 years. Those who know their God and are in covenant with God for a long life shall have it.

They should decentralise the military as well. Let’s know where our problem is coming from. Each state should have its own military service to prevent this current sabotage going on in Nigeria. We need to hit these terrorists and bandits hard.
Gotocourt: I guess you've also read that thread of a lady complaining for almost two years, what's your take on that . Moreover, was the money refunded to central bank abi shareholders or board squandered it😕.
I followed that as well and there are two things involved; either a case of malpractice going on in Access bank or a mistake from the account officer handling that transaction. These things happen and sometimes it doesn't mean there is fraud going on. It's a human thing and there must be mistakes and that is why you as an account owner you must monitor your transactions using your BA and i guess she wouldn't have noticed if she never momitored her transactions whatever happens afterwards dependson how she handles it. In the past, i have been paid double of my salary in a month due to an error from the account officer and someone was also short paid. These are errors and when noticed should be reported immediately.
wirinet: Nigerians would justify judas iscariots if there is something to gain from supporting him. What does it matter if he complained 3 days or 3 years after a failed transaction, is it not his hard earned money? What if he travelled, had an accident or became unavailable after the transaction? So the bank should chop his money because he did not report immediately.
With this crooked mindset of Nigerian, the country can never progress, not even in a thousand years.
Stop sounding like you know it all while you know nothing. There are humans working in that band who are saddled with responsibilities of a daily basis, if you know how the banking system operates you won't come here with this ignorance trying to justify something which should have been handled with wisdom. There is nothing like the crooked mindset of Nigeria. Stop displaying your ignorance all in the name of painting a particular bank in a bad light. Own up to your faults and handle issues reasonably. You raised the issue of what if he travelled. Well, I know how many Nigerian bank related issues I have handled despite being in the UK and operating a Nigerian bank account I can list out to you even the more difficult ones, sometimes I had to send siblings to the bank to speak with customer services because of some of these transactions and not something as petty as reporting a failed bank transaction that ought to be reported almost immediately and from anywhere and then you come online to blame a bank without taking the burk of the blame? Common, you guys should stop being mean and work on your ideologies. Dragging Nigeria banking system into it is a total turn off work on yourself bro and stop being bitter.
Gotocourt: How can a bank bluntly tell me my money can't be given back. Just because I complained three months after failed transaction. Wigwe went to hell with my money. Do you know how many dead peoples money is in the banking system that families have given up😕.
You complained 3 months after? Did you listen to yourself? And you are blaming the dead man. Who goes to the bank to complain about a failed transaction 3 months after? Even 1 week is dangerous. Have you read the policy of the bank with regards to failed transactions? You people shouldn't blame banks all the time. Do the best you can too.

adenigga: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially inaugurated Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe as Minister of Power and Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
The ceremony was held on Monday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and was attended by family members of the appointees, cabinet members and other top government officials.
The appointments followed vacancies created by the exit of former Power Minister, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, and former Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, both of whom resigned to pursue governorship ambitions in their respective states.
Following their nomination by President Tinubu, Tegbe and Enikanolaiye were screened and confirmed by the Senate on May 6, 2026.
Tegbe, a native of Ibadan in Oyo State, is widely known for his work in economic, fiscal and institutional reforms. He brings more than three decades of experience from both the public and private sectors, with a strong background in policy execution and stakeholder management.
Enikanolaiye, from Igbagun in Kogi State, graduated with a First Class degree in Political Science from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he emerged as the best graduating student in his faculty and earned the Dean’s Prize.
He later obtained a Master’s degree in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos, graduating with distinction.
A seasoned diplomat, Enikanolaiye has represented Nigeria in several countries, serving in diplomatic missions in Ethiopia, Serbia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
His most recent overseas assignment was as Nigeria’s Head of Mission in New Delhi, India.
Before joining the Federal Executive Council, he served as Senior Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Foreign Affairs and International Relations in the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President.
OkCornel: I guess UK & US citizens are rushing Nigerian passport now.
Excellent analysis 🙄
The guy later ran to the UK to acquire more education and probably still lives there. Each time he's posting on LinkedIn, he has forgotten this post he made some yes ago. One day I will remind him of the need to go back to Nigeria which is now a safe haven and leave the UK alone. He's still campaigning for APC in Osun State neither has he for one day condemned what's happening in Nigeria. A man who is supposed to be enlightened. The problem with Nigeria is "Men who benefit from the system do not speak against it" they only do so if it doesn't favour them.
After one or two weeks you guys are gonna see how INEC will twist the story and then deny their server was accessed unauthorised by Lere. You’ll be amazed that they aren’t carrying out any investigation rather, they are taking their time to cook up a story for the public and it will end afterwards.
They will not say the truth till the day they start fighting then you'll know that OK chinda did not follow due process. The level of unlawfullness in Nigeria is alarming. Since Tinubu is in support of Chinda whatever he does is right.
Birds of a feather. Na the man wey them talk say Dey fight corruption be this Abi Drug lord with him thief thief partner. Evil men in light colored Senator.
He speaks with so much authority because he has already perfected the rigging of 2027 elections. He knows those to meet and he has already met them same thing he did in 2023 he will repeat it in 2027.
Benjanni: Victory for Adamawa! The NDC governorship primaries have spoken, and the people have chosen.
Heartfelt congratulations to Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed "Binani" on winning the NDC Adamawa State governorship primaries. Your dedication to the grassroots, consistency, and vision for a better Adamawa have earned the trust of delegates across all 21 LGAs.
This win belongs to every NDC member, supporter, and believer in a stronger Adamawa. From Mubi to Yola, Gombi to Numan — the message is clear.
May this be the start of greater things. Wishing you wisdom, strength, and overwhelming success as we march toward the general election.
The grassroots have spoken. Together, we build a stronger NDC and a better Adamawa.
APC and their criminal minds will not have their way this time around both at the national and state level. I know Tinubu, Wike and co have perfected their rigging but God will show them why he's God. Nigeria must move forward.
adenigga: Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Thursday said President Bola Tinubu has performed “excellently well” on economic reforms and security while vowing the National Assembly’s full cooperation on unfinished business, including state police, ramped-up crude output and infrastructure.
The Senate President spoke after leading a delegation of Senate Principal Officers on a traditional Sallah homage to President Tinubu at his Lagos residence to celebrate Eid al-Kabir.[/i
[i]“We came here to felicitate the President and also wish him Barka the Salah on this Eid-el-Kabir and to also pray for him for continuous good health and wisdom and pray for our nation, for those in captivity to be released and for peace to reign in Nigeria—not just now, throughout his tenure as President of the country and beyond,” Akpabio said.
He praised Tinubu’s economic overhauls, singling out the end of multiple exchange rates, false subsidies, and “future clauses” that had drained Nigeria’s oil revenues.
“We appreciate Mr. President for his reforms, which have done a lot to reposition Nigeria on the trajectory of growth, constrain the kind of economy that we met when he came on board in 2023,” Akpabio said.
“It’s very difficult to grow a non-oil economy because what we met on ground, we had what they call future sells and we’re not making money on the crude oil that we produce because of future sells. And then we also had a situation of continuous expenses in the country as a result of what they call waste and means—which in a layman’s language, was expending money and printing money without earning income. He has stopped all that.
“We met multiple exchange rates. He has stopped all that. We met a situation of false subsidies. He has stopped all that,” he added.
Akpabio also highlighted the end of long fuel queues as one of the president’s most visible achievements.
“And we also appreciate the fact that in the last three years, he has brought the very long queues that people used to experience in filling stations to an end. And tangible things that people may not see,” he said.
The Senate President expressed deep admiration for Tinubu’s tax harmonisation drive, calling it transformative.
“And the harmonization of taxes in Nigeria. Something that even taxes that some were as far back as 1939. So for me, I think he has done excellently well,” Akpabio said.
He assured the President that the national assembly would stand with him always.
“But we are saying that a lot still needs to be done. And we are assuring of the cooperation of the lawmakers in Nigeria, particularly National Assembly,” he said.
“I will stand by him so long as everything he proposes is positive for the future growth of this country,” Akpabio declared.
On security, he said there is no part of the country that the flag of any insurgents is being hoisted.
Asked where Tinubu must improve, Akpabio pointed to security—but refused to give a wholly negative assessment.
“We can’t do it alone. National Assembly will assist him to ensure that we improve on the area of security. But it has actually improved,” he said.
“Except guerrilla warfare here and there. Attacks here and there. Because in reality, what we see now are insurgents going to areas of soft targets — schools. Going to churches. Going to mosques. And those areas that nobody would think security agents would not be there.”
“But he has done very well. There is no part of Nigeria today that you have the flag of any insurgents, whether Boko Haram, being hoisted,” he asserted.
“And then all those organised bomb blasts everywhere have been brought to an end. So the security services have done so well. But a lot still needs to be done. Because you know how it is. Nigeria is very vast. So, with a population of over 240 million, whenever something happens, outsiders do not know.
“That is a very big country. So they will say, ‘Oh, Nigeria, oh Nigeria, oh Nigeria.’ But they are areas of soft targets. Even on the fringes in terms of our boundaries.”
Akpabio said the National Assembly is actively crafting a regulatory framework for state policing, including a national state police commission.
“But we believe that working with him, the National Assembly can come up with a solution, a framework that will enable the states to also partake in securing the lives and properties of the citizens—and that is in the area of the state police,” he said.
“And we are looking at ways of creating a positive and not a negative state police and something that can have a national state police commission that will regulate the conduct of state policing and also promotion, training and all. So we will do our best to assist in that direction and sensitisation also.
“The citizens also need to know that they have to watch out for bad acts in their society because they all know it’s a very unfortunate situation, but we do know that the president is poised and the security services are poised, so that area will need serious improvement with all of us working together,” he added.
On police funding, the Senate President revealed concrete legislative action. “Police in the country itself is a major issue that the National Assembly is looking at. You are actually looking at from 0.5 percent to one percent of revenue from the production account going into the police trust fund,” Akpabio said.
“That will be for police infrastructure and equipment. Of course, the states will also add their own.”
Akpabio highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects and the need to boost crude output now that the Dangote Refinery is absorbing significant volumes.
“And then the area of infrastructure is already ongoing and then of course we need to ramp up our crude oil production. Now that we have started selling crude in Naira and Dangote refinery is doing well and it’s taking a lot, so we need to improve on production to enable us also export to end foreign exchange to put in other sectors of the economy,” he said.
“We are still looking forward to foreign directives. We are also looking forward to direct investment in areas of agriculture and all that.”
*Omo-Agege joins NDC, to contest for Delta Central senatorial seat*
Six days after resigning from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to give vent to his desire to return to the Senate.
Senator Ovie Omo-Agege will team up with Mr. Peter Obi, the party's presidential candidate. In press statement he personally issued on Thursday, the Obarisi of Urhoboland declared:
"Today, I formally announce my decision to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
"This decision is the product of weeks of reflection, wide consultations, and honest conversations with the people I serve. I have consulted with my political associates nationwide, supporters, and stakeholders who are the backbone of our communities. Across all these engagements, one truth stood out: Deltans want leadership that listens first, acts with integrity, and delivers results that can be seen and felt in daily life.
"I thank the leadership of the NDC for reaching out and engaging me in this process: Senator Seriake Dickson, Leader and Founder; Senator Moses Cleopas, National Chairman; Governor Peter Obi, Presidential Aspirant; and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and NDC Chieftain. Their commitment to building a credible, people-first alternative gives me confidence that the NDC is the right platform for Delta State and Nigeria.
"The NDC represents that kind of leadership. It is a party built on the principles of inclusion, accountability, grassroots participation, and true federalism. It is a platform where decisions are not made in closed rooms but through open consultation with stakeholders and members. It is a platform where public office is treated as a duty to the people, not a privilege for a few. After careful consideration, I am convinced that the NDC offers the clearest path to advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.
"On this platform, I will contest for the Delta Central Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections. Let me be clear: this is not about me. This is about the mandate you entrusted to me in 2019 and the renewed call from our people for my return to the Senate to provide effective representation. That call is loud, consistent, alive, and urgent. I cannot ignore it, and I will not betray the trust you have placed in me.
"Delta State holds a position of immense responsibility in Nigeria. We are among the largest producers of oil and gas, resources that have sustained the national economy for decades. Our agricultural lands are fertile and capable of feeding millions. Our business community has shown remarkable resilience despite harsh economic conditions. Our young people are educated, innovative, and ready to lead if given the opportunity. Yet the reality on the ground does not match this potential.
"In too many communities, roads have collapsed and remain impassable for months. Primary health centers lack drugs, equipment, and staff. Schools struggle with overcrowding and inadequate facilities. Young graduates return home without jobs, and small business owners battle a hostile environment and poor infrastructure. Meanwhile, federal allocations to Delta State have consistently run into hundreds of billions of naira annually. The gap between these resources and the lived reality of our people is unacceptable.
"Right now, too much of Delta’s wealth sits in CBN accounts while our people suffer from bad roads, collapsed hospitals, and abandoned communities. This is not governance. It is a failure of leadership and a betrayal of public trust. Deltans deserve better than press releases, billboards, and photo-ops. Nigeria deserves better than a political class that treats public office as a personal business.
"I believe this situation can and must change. Change requires a platform committed to discipline, transparency, and service. The National Democratic Congress was built for this moment. It stands for accountability, for justice, for inclusion, and for true federalism. It is the only platform strong enough to challenge the cycle of failure and return power to the people where it belongs. That is why I am joining the NDC.
"I know what it takes to build a political structure and make it competitive in Delta State. We did it before for the APC when many said it was impossible. We mobilized at the grassroots, organized our people, and changed the political equation. I bring that same resolve and experience to the NDC. Our immediate priority will be to strengthen the party from the ward level upward, register new members, and prepare a credible slate of candidates for the 2027 elections.
"I will not go to Abuja to warm the bench. I am going to fight for Delta Central, and as your senator, my focus will remain on delivering representation that matters. I will take the concerns of Delta Central directly to the National Assembly and ensure they are debated, addressed, and followed through. I will push for fair allocation of federal projects and resources to our senatorial district. I will work to ensure that every kobo released to Delta State is accounted for and applied to projects that improve the lives of our people. I will also advocate for policies that create jobs, support small and medium enterprises, improve agricultural productivity, and expand access to quality healthcare and education.
"I will represent Delta North, Delta South, and Delta Central with fairness and balance. A divided Delta is a weakened Delta. When we speak with one voice, Abuja listens. When we work together, we can secure the infrastructure, investments, and policies that our state deserves.
"Beyond the Senate, the NDC will field candidates for the governorship and other elective positions who understand the challenges of Delta State and have the competence, humility, and character to address them. Nigeria itself needs a reset. We need leadership that truly restores hope, protects citizens, grows the economy, and respects the rule of law. I will work tirelessly for the victory of our presidential candidate and for a government that puts Nigerians first.
"This is more than an election cycle. This is a defining moment for Delta State and for Nigeria. It is a choice between continuing with a system that rewards silence and mediocrity, or choosing a new direction built on accountability and service.
"To the youth of Delta State: your time is now. Do not accept the lie that you must wait your turn. Organize in your communities, register to vote, and make your voices impossible to ignore. Your energy, creativity, and courage are the most powerful tools we have to change this state.
"To the women who hold our families and communities together: mobilize your networks, your markets, your churches, and your neighborhoods. Your participation will determine the outcome of 2027.
"To our elders and traditional rulers: your wisdom has guided us through difficult times before. Speak now for the generation coming behind you. Your voice gives legitimacy and direction to this movement.
"And to every registered voter: your Permanent Voter’s Card is your greatest power. It is stronger than money, stronger than intimidation, and stronger than propaganda. Protect it, use it, and use it wisely in 2027.
"In 2027, we will end the era of excuses, empty promises, and leaders who vanish after elections. We will return power to the people of Delta State and to the people of Nigeria. "Together, under the banner of the National Democratic Congress, we will reclaim Delta State. Together, we will reclaim Nigeria.
"The work starts now. The time is now. The people are ready."
