₦airaland Forum

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his comment that borrowing is not leprosy, describing the position as “absolute nonsense”.

Obasanjo spoke on Friday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, at the Ajibosin Platform, a public forum theme “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to solve grassroots problems and accelerate National Development.”

In April, Tinubu said his administration would continue to borrow whenever necessary, insisting that it should not be viewed negatively.

Tinubu spoke at the State House during a meeting with Plateau leaders led by Caleb Mutfwang, the governor, and Nentawe Yilwatda, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). “If we have to borrow, we borrow.

Borrowing is not leprosy, we just have to work hard to be able to pay for it,” the president had said. His remarks came amid rising public concern over Nigeria’s growing debt burden and the increasing share of national revenue committed to debt servicing.

Someone very close to me collected my account number to send it to somebody so that the person will send him money through my opay account number.

I letter received the alert and it was 120,000 from access bank. I letter on received another 120,000 from moniepoint in a space of 2 hours. I now called the person that collected my account number. I asked him. How much does the person want to send to you and he told me it was 120,000. The issue now is that the alert came with 2 different names. I gave the man his 120,000 and I'm still with the other 120000. And this thing happened on 8th of this month.....I still never received a call...

A friend of mine told me to allow the money spend like one month before I go start to spend the money

Soludo pardons jailed native doctor, Akwa Okuko, appoints him Ambassador of Youths Reformation


Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has pardoned popular native doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu, popularly known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki.

Nwangwu, who was among eight native doctors arrested last year for their involvement in the promotion of money rituals, quick wealth and the use of human parts for rituals, had earlier this year entered a plea bargain with the state government.

He was later offered a light sentence of 11 months and incarcerated at the Nigeria Correctional Facility, Amawbia, Anambra State, and also given the condition of renouncing his fetish practice and promising to become an ambassador of youth reformation.

Nwangwu had accepted the conditions and had since been serving his prison term until today, when Soludo pardoned him under the prerogative of mercy, making him Ambassador for Youth Reformation in Anambra.

Special Adviser to the governor on Youth Reformation, Dr Nelson Omenugha, who disclosed this, said the governor had paid a visit to the prison in fulfilment of his duties when he stated this.

Omenugha said: “Thank you, Mr Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, for graciously extending your hand of mercy to Chidozie Nwangwu (Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki) and giving him a new responsibility as Ambassador for Youth Reformation.

“This is the heart of Youth Reformation: not just punishment, but correction, restoration, a new purpose and A New Onye Anambra.”

TRAGEDY: GUO BUS ACCIDENT CLAIMS LIVES — IZZI INDIGENE AMONG IDENTIFIED VICTIMS

A painful tragedy has struck families travelling along the Benin–Lagos Expressway after a G.U.O. luxury bus, reportedly loaded in Abakaliki and travelling to Lagos, was involved in a fatal accident close to Lagos State.

According to reports, several lives were lost, while other passengers sustained varying degrees of injuries. The immediate cause of the accident has not been established as of the time of this report.

Among those reportedly identified as victims is an Izzi indigene popularly known as “Good News,” a vibrant businessman whose untimely death has left family, friends and the community devastated.

According to a source, Good News was making preparations for his traditional wedding scheduled for January 11 and 13, 2027, before this heartbreaking tragedy cut his journey short.

To those whose relatives, friends or loved ones travelled from Abakaliki towards Lagos on Tuesday, please check on them and confirm their safety.

This is one of those moments when we are reminded of how fragile life can be. Plans can change. Journeys can end unexpectedly. And families can be left with memories instead of embraces.

May God comfort every family that has lost a loved one, grant the injured a speedy and complete recovery, and grant eternal rest to the souls of those who lost their lives. 🕯️💔
