UTURU — A disturbing wave of allegations has emerged from Abia State University (ABSU), where students are raising an urgent alarm over a systematic extortion ring allegedly operated by a senior lecturer.
The outcry centers on Dr. KC Izuogo of the Mass Communication department, who is accused of turning his “Introduction to Advertising” course into a mandatory toll gate for students.
The ABSU “Sorting” Protocol
According to multiple student accounts, the path to a passing grade in Dr. Izuogo’s class requires two distinct payments: a N5,000 fee for a course handout and a N20,000 “sorting” fee to guarantee exam success.
Students allege that failure to comply with these financial demands results in an automatic “F,” regardless of their academic performance.

While the debate over roads dominates the headlines, the real battle for Anambra’s future is being fought in the classroom. Peter Obi is remembered for his historic decision to return schools to the missions, but Governor Soludo has countered with a massive recruitment drive and a “free education” policy that has reshaped the public school system.
Teacher Recruitment: Volume vs. Strategy
The scale of hiring under the current administration has set a new record for the state.
The Obi Era (2006–2014): Peter Obi employed roughly 4,000 teachers over his eight-year tenure. His focus was on filling specific gaps in science and ICT to support his massive distribution of computers.
The Soludo Era (2022–Present): In just four years, Governor Soludo has hired a total of 8,115 teachers. His goal was to eliminate the “schools without teachers” phenomenon. By hiring 5,000 in his first year and another 3,115 recently, he has brought the student-to-teacher ratio to roughly 26:1, meeting international benchmarks.

KANO, NIGERIA — The streets of Northern Nigeria have become a battlefield of political symbolism as irate youths engage in a widespread campaign to reject the Tinubu administration. From the commercial hubs of Kano to the borders of Katsina and Kaduna, the rhythmic tearing of paper and the dismantling of steel frames have marked a definitive public break from the presidency.

By systematically destroying President Bola Tinubu’s posters and billboards, Northern youths are sending a clear message: the region is no longer a guaranteed voting bloc for the current administration. In several communities, local groups have gone as far as making it an informal “law” that no Tinubu campaign material should be displayed on private shops or residences, citing a total loss of faith.

In a statement that has sent shockwaves through Abuja, Kimberly Daniels, who serves as the Chairwoman of the United World Congress of Diplomats (UN-WCD), claimed that Matawalle offered money to an elected U.S. official. According to Daniels, the bribe was intended to suppress or alter a UN-WCD report focused on the ongoing genocide of Christians in Nigeria.

LAGOS — Controversial Nollywood actor and political commentator Yul Edochie has sparked a fresh wave of political debate after declaring that former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi will not become the President of Nigeria in the 2027 election cycle.

In a strongly worded statement released on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, Edochie dismissed Obi’s recent defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and his efforts to build a grand opposition coalition as a “total waste of time.”

“Dead on Arrival”

Edochie, who has become a vocal supporter of the current administration, claimed that the momentum surrounding Obi’s new political platform is illusory. He asserted that any party Obi joins is destined to face internal friction and eventual fragmentation.

While Wike struts with the confidence of a man who has successfully traded his party’s soul for a seat at Tinubu’s table, Nigerians are not laughing at his “madness” anymore.
