What a senzelezz thread from the City boi data wailers.

You data boiz can never find anything dirt on your nightmare even if your emil000kaan lives depended on it.

This is another deflection without substance

Obi did nothing wrong by investing anambra state money in banks, almost all state governors in the US do it, it is only a fool that does not know that it is the state that stands to gain from that venture, they don't have anything against him that's why they are so confused scratching all surfaces to no avail

You story is another deflection of the highest order

Peter Obi Dodges Question on Using Public Fund to Invest in Family Business

Watch how Peter Obi stylishly dodges the brewery scandal allegation that he allocated a percentage of the investment to his family. Instead of addressing it directly, he shifts the conversation and starts talking about Fidelity Bank.

Ofunaofu:
Good is relative.

If by good he means benefiting personally from Tinubu, then sure.


But judging by Tinubu's performance as both governor and president, "good" is hardly the word that comes to mind.

Bola Tinubu is the Best President in the History of Nigeria

God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Before Tinubu became President, he was a very a good man who used to give people big money. He has helped a lot of people without waiting for any favour. He was very good to be with but northerners hijacked him from us and some religious bigots lied to him. So, we couldn't access him as usual. Therefore, what made him a good man is no longer there. Unless he goes back to how he was before he became president to be giving money, he is not good again......"

NB: This is purely my personal interpretation of Babachir Lawal's interview and I think I am entitled to my opinion and interpretation.

My Take: If because President Tinubu refused to share Nigeria's money to you the way he was dashing you his personal money is the reason why you say he's a bad man, so be it!!!

Happy Sunday to All Progressives Only

A senior member of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has surrendered to troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) in the North-East, in what the military described as another major setback for the terrorist group.

The acting Media Information Officer of OPHK, Capt. Mohammed Goni, said the terrorist surrendered to troops of 3 Battalion under the 24 Task Force Brigade at about 6:45 a.m. on July 25 along the Ladari–Jegarawa–Tunokalia axis of the Gamboru–Wulgo Main Supply Route.

Although Goni did not disclose the identity of the surrendered terrorist, he said preliminary profiling indicated that the suspect served as the chief finance operative of the ISWAP enclave at Jubillaram, where he was responsible for managing the group’s finances and logistics. He surrendered alongside two male children.

KIDNAPPED STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN OYO STATE RESCUED FOLLOWING, SURGICAL INTENSE AND WELL COORDINATED OPERATIONS IN OLD OYO NATIONAL PARK AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY

1. Following an intelligence-led carefully planned and executed operations, on 10 July 2026, troops of the Nigerian Army, led by the General Officer Commanding 2 Division, Nigerian Army, Ibadan, *Major General CR Nnebeife*, in collaboration with special units from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) specifically the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC),the Defence Headquarters with Special Forces elements from the Nigerian Army, Navy the Air Force and the Nigeria Police, the Department of State Services (DSS), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and other security agencies as well as local vigilantes/hunters/Amotekuns, in a well coordinated operation rescued a total of 44 pupils and teachers kidnapped by terrorists from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State on 15 May 2026.

2. The operations, which lasted for more than a month, focused on identifying the terrorists kingpins that masterminded the kidnapping, bursting and dismantling their networks and logistics links, including their informants and hideouts located within the Old Oyo National Park Forest, Oyo State.

3. As part of the operations, multiple arrests were made within Oyo State and in other locations across some States in the Country. These arrests completely disorganized the group, exerted overwhelming pressure on them and ultimately led the terrorist group to *unconditionally release* the pupils and teachers. Further operations are to be conducted.

4. It suffices to note that the operations were carefully planned and executed to avoid collateral damages and to equally ensure that the innocent children and teachers were safely rescued. However, there were some casualties on the part of the security forces.

5. The pupils and teachers are currently receiving medical attention in an undisclosed hospital and will be handed over to the Oyo State Government in due course so as to be reunited with their families.

6. The GOC 2 Division wish to on behalf of all the participating agencies most sincerely and respectfully thank and appreciate His Excellency, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for the Strategic Guidance, Support and for all the provisions that made the operations a huge success.

7. The GOC also wishes to once again thank the Governor of Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde and indeed the good people of the State for their continous support to security agencies especially during the trying period.

8. The GOC also appreciates the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the Hon Minster of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff and other Service Chiefs, Inspector General of Police and the Directors General DSS and NIA as well as Heads of other Security Agencies for their support and for the opportunity to relate directly with all the security agencies to ensure a seamless coordination and execution of the operations.

9. We sincerely thank the various media houses and indeed the entire Nigeria populace for their support, understanding and for having faith in the security architecture of the Nation. We urge all to remain vigilant and continue to support all security agencies by providing timely and credible information that would assist in the ongoing efforts to safeguard lives and properties across Nigeria.

UPDATE ON RESCUE OPS | Abducted Oyo

According to reports, one of the key tactics employed during the rescue operation was identifying the kidnappers, tracing their family members, and detaining them for questioning.

The move reportedly mounted intense pressure on the kidnappers and contributed to the success of the operation.

The operation was reportedly coordinated by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), bringing together personnel from the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Navy, and the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in a joint effort.

Mission accomplished!

God bless all operators involved: the ONSA tactical team, the NN SBS, DHQSOF, DSS STAT, and all other special operators who participated.

Peter Obi and Akpabio were both Governors the same time. One built a national treasure, the other one said you can’t build a state with infrastructure.

The difference is clear

"I was so shocked that there has been no major road project by the FG in the entire Plateau State before President Tinubu came on board... this road shall not only be done on concrete, there will be solar lights, tree planting, cameras, and an observation station. This is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Legacy road infrastructure project."

30 Major Milestones In The Health Sector Achieved By President Bola Tinubu

"I actually have no problem with State Police...

...I just have a problem with Tinubu getting the credit."

That seems to be the new position.

So instead of asking, "Will this make Nigeria safer?"

The question becomes, "Will it improve Tinubu's chances?"

If yes, postpone it.

Apparently, insecurity can wait—but politics cannot.

That is an interesting definition of putting Nigeria first"

The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s contentious attempt to limit citizenship at birth for those born on U.S. soil, delivering a major blow to his agenda.

The court, divided 6-3, ruled that the executive order Trump issued Jan. 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, was unlawful. Five justices said the order fell foul of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States.

One justice, conservative Brett Kavanaugh, said the order violated federal law but not the Constitution.

State police: NASS sends bill to 36 states’ assemblies

https://punchng.com/state-police-nass-sends-bill-to-36-states-assemblies/

Seriake Dickson has been on the hot seat for about 30 minutes trying to reassure NDC Candidates to be calm and that the High Court judgment will be overturned at the Court of Appeal. His assurance was based on the fact that although NDC's logo is actually the same with that of the other party that sues her, however, the other association is not a registered political party, therefore, has no locus standi. But when Seun told him that the association was registered at CAC, the next set of responses from Dickson became incoherent!!

Our Renewed Hope Education reforms are delivering measurable results.

I’m pleased to see Nigerian universities record their strongest performance yet in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

This year, 24 Nigerian universities were ranked globally, up from 21 in previous years, making Nigeria the most represented country in Sub Saharan Africa. Even more encouraging, 17 of those institutions are federal universities, reflecting the progress we are making in strengthening our public higher education system.

Congratulations to the University of Ibadan, the University of Lagos, Bayero University Kano, and every Nigerian university recognised in this year’s rankings. This achievement belongs to the entire higher education sector and demonstrates what is possible when institutions are committed to excellence.

These rankings are not just about prestige. They are evidence that our investments in research, innovation, digital transformation, quality assurance, infrastructure, and governance are beginning to translate into global recognition.

Even more encouraging, 27 additional Nigerian universities participated in this year’s assessment, demonstrating a growing commitment to transparency, benchmarking, and continuous improvement.

Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we remain committed to the Nigerian Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), ensuring our universities produce the knowledge, innovation, and talent that will drive Nigeria’s future.

The work continues.
