If the elder statemen had done there job well, the arrogancy Wike would have been tamed through dialogue and the shameful proclamation of Sole Administrator by Tinubu wouldnt have even take place.

CrimeRe: Judge Warns FG Over Delays In Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial, Sets Multiple Dates For Final by Wisewriter: 1:18pm On May 22, 2025
7 REASONS WHY NNAMDI KANU MAY NOT BE JAILED
1.Extraordinary Rendition (Kidnapping) from Kenya to Nigeria
Explanation: Nnamdi Kanu was forcibly taken from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021, without following established extradition procedures under international and domestic law.

Legal Implication: This act constitutes extraordinary rendition, which is illegal under international law and violates Nigeria’s Extradition Act (1967) and Kenya’s legal framework.

Effect on Trial: It undermines the jurisdiction and legitimacy of the trial process, as courts in many jurisdictions hold that no individual should be tried if brought before the court through an unlawful process.

2. Court Ruling: He is Not a Terrorist
Explanation: Courts have not found Nnamdi Kanu guilty of terrorism, and legal representatives argue there is no valid court judgment declaring him a terrorist or IPOB a terrorist group, particularly outside Nigeria.

International Position: IPOB is not listed as a terrorist organization by the United Nations, the African Union, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or the United States.

Effect on Charges: Without a legal classification as a terrorist and in the absence of valid evidence of terrorism, charges under terrorism law may not stand in an impartial court.

3. Flight from Nigeria in 2017 Due to Threat to Life
Explanation: In 2017, Nnamdi Kanu’s residence was raided by the Nigerian military under Operation Python Dance, resulting in casualties and injuries.

Human Rights Context: He fled Nigeria on the grounds of imminent threat to his life, which is a recognized justification under international human rights law for seeking asylum or safety abroad.

Legal Perspective: His departure from Nigeria did not amount to jumping bail in the classical sense because it was motivated by state violence, not an attempt to evade justice.

4. Federal Court of Appeal Ruling (October 2022)
Explanation: The Court of Appeal in Abuja held that the federal government violated local and international laws by forcibly returning Kanu to Nigeria.

Outcome: The court dismissed the remaining charges, ordered his release, and ruled that the trial court had no jurisdiction to continue with the matter.

Legal Effect: This ruling supports the argument that any further detention or prosecution is illegal, unless reversed by a higher court, such as the Supreme Court.

5. Violation of His Fundamental Rights
Explanation: Nnamdi Kanu’s legal team and international observers argue that his rights to fair trial, liberty, and dignity under Section 36 and Section 35 of the Nigerian Constitution, as well as Article 6 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, were violated.

Effect on Trial: A trial based on flawed procedures and illegal detention cannot produce a valid conviction under the Nigerian Constitution.

6. Health Concerns and Inhumane Detention Conditions
Explanation: Reports from his legal team and family members indicate serious health complications, including heart conditions.

Detention Conditions: His detention conditions have been described as unfit for human health, with limited access to medical care.

Legal Consequences: Continued detention in such conditions could constitute cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, in violation of Nigerian law and international conventions.

7. Political Dimensions of the Case
Explanation: Several observers and human rights organizations believe the charges and prolonged detention are politically motivated, rather than based on substantive criminal conduct.

International Reaction: The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention called for his unconditional release and compensation, describing his detention as a violation of international law.

FamilyThe 21 Lies Our Parents Told Us While We Were Growing Up In Nigeria by Wisewriter(op): 3:44pm On Apr 30, 2025
Our parents filled our childhood with wild stories that made us scared of everything—from eating mangoes to looking in mirrors at night. These funny myths were their clever way of keeping us on track, and even now, we can’t help but laugh (and cringe) at how much we believed them. Despite the fact that this are not factual, most of us cant still try this practices even as we have grown to adulthood. For example our parent told us that whoever took soft drink like minerals after eating mango will die. Despite been fallacious, none of us had ever attempted to try it even as we have advanced to adulthood.

Here are the other 21 lies our parents told us


1. If you drink garri or coke after eating mango, you'll d!e.

2. You must throw your fallen tooth on the roof before it can grow back.

3. When you sing & wave to the egret birds, you'll get white spots on your fingernails.

4. If it is raining and there is sun at the same time, it means that a lion or monkey is giving birth.

5. India won Nigeria 99-1 in a football match.

6. When you bend and look back in between your legs, you'll see spirits.

7. A mother and her son breaking firewood in the Moon as punishment, because they went to the farm on a Sunday and the Moon carried them.

8. Don't wear ruber bands because it drains blood.

9. If you eat while kneeling, you will never get satisfied because the devīl will be taking some.

10. If you blow air inside a pencil sharpener, it won't sharpen pencils anymore.

11. If anyone jumps or crosses you while you're sitting or lying down on the floor, you will never grow tall again until the person repeats the process.

12. If your parents send you on an errand and you came back late, to escape floggīng or punishment, you need to tie together certain leaves in the bush.

13. If you come to school late, in order not to feel pains during flogging, you need to put a stone in your mouth.

14. When you swallow a seed, especially African star apple seeds (Udara), it will germinate and grow in your stomach.

15. The coconut water is only for the elders.

16. As a young girl, if a boy touches you, it'll result to pregnancy.

17. If you whistle at night, you're calling the evīl spirits and serpents.

18. If someone bites you while fighting and you rub a fowl faeces on it, the person's teeths will fall off.

19. If you sweep the room late in the night, all your blessings will go away.

20. If you look at the mirror at night, you'll see a ghost.

21. If you eat Turkey's meat without burying the head, it will turn to a snake.

Christianity EtcLeah Slept With Jacob. Who Is To Be Blamed? by Wisewriter(op): 8:09am On Apr 27, 2025
In the Bible Genesis 29:23, Leah slept with Jacob, although the circumstances of their union were a result of deception. Jacob, who was in love with Rachel, was tricked by Laban, Rachel's father, into marrying Leah instead. Laban switched Leah for Rachel on their wedding night, and Jacob was unaware until the morning. Later, Leah and Jacob had several children together.

Reading down to Genesis 29:15-35 ERV In the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah he had slept with, and he said to Laban, “You have tricked me. I worked hard for you so that I could marry Rachel. Why Did you trick me?..........


The question is How can you make love till day break without seeing the face of the woman your making love with. And again, how can Leah claimed she was sleeping all through the night without knowing that a man is untop riding her all through the night. Remeber, Jacob had previously "loved" Rachael so to my own understanding, He supposed to know the smell and body size of the woman He claimed to love.

Who is to be blamed? Leah? or Jacob?
Who is the liar here Leah or Jacob?

Foreign AffairsToday Is International Reflection On Rwanda Genocide Of 1994 by Wisewriter(op): 10:56am On Apr 07, 2025
Written by Chukwu Solomon, A researcher|Nairander

After the Rwanda Genocide, unity became key. Today in Rwanda, you’re simply Rwandan—no divisions by religion or ethnicity. A powerful lesson: peace is possible when we rise above hates

The 1994 Rwanda Genocide stands as one of the darkest chapters in human history, where over 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were brutally murdered in just 100 days. What made this tragedy even more devastating was that it was fueled by deep ethnic divisions deliberately stoked by political leaders. Neighbors turned against neighbors, and families were torn apart in unimaginable violence. The genocide left scars on Rwanda’s social fabric, but it also became a turning point for the nation to rebuild itself on principles of unity, reconciliation, and collective healing.

In contrast, Nigeria has faced its own share of internal strife, most notably during the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970), which claimed millions of lives. While the war ended decades ago, the country continues to struggle with religious and ethnic tensions. These divisions manifest in frequent clashes between groups, often rooted in differences of faith or cultural identity. Unlike Rwanda, where efforts have been made to erase divisive labels, Nigeria still grapples with visible signs of intolerance, attacks on places of worship, hate speech, and systemic discrimination based on religion or ethnicity. This ongoing conflict serves as a reminder that unresolved divisions can perpetuate cycles of violence.

Rwanda’s response to the genocide offers an inspiring lesson in resilience and unity. In the aftermath of such horror, the government implemented policies aimed at fostering national cohesion. One striking example is how Rwandans now identify themselves not as Hutu or Tutsi, nor by their religious affiliations but simply as Rwandans. Religion, once a potential fault line, has taken a backseat to the broader goal of building a peaceful society. By erasing these markers of division, Rwanda has shown the world that prioritizing humanity over individual identities can pave the way for lasting peace.

Nigeria could draw significant lessons from Rwanda’s experience. Despite its diversity, Nigeria remains fragmented along religious, ethnic, and regional lines. The persistence of Boko Haram insurgency, farmer-herder conflicts, and other forms of sectarian violence underscores the urgent need for introspection and reform. If Nigerians adopted a mindset similar to post-genocide Rwanda—one that emphasizes shared humanity over divisive loyalties they might begin to heal old wounds and build bridges across communities. Unity does not mean erasing diversity but embracing it while focusing on what binds us together as one people.

The story of Rwanda should serve as both a warning and a beacon of hope for nations like Nigeria. It reminds us that unchecked hatred and division can lead to catastrophic consequences, but it also proves that reconciliation and unity are possible when there is a collective will to change. For Nigeria, the time to act is now to confront its challenges head-on, foster dialogue among its diverse populations, and strive for a future where no one feels compelled to define themselves solely by their religion or ethnicity. Only then can Nigeria truly move toward lasting peace and prosperity. 🌍🕊️ #NeverAgain

SportsGalatasaray Granted Osimhen 4days Leave After Defeating Fenerbahçe by Wisewriter(op): 2:22pm On Apr 06, 2025
Osimhen Lands in Nigeria after Galatasaray Granted Him 4days Leave

There are indications that at least two Saudi Arabian Pro League clubs are interested in signing former African Footballer of the Year Victor Osimhen in the next summer transfer window.

According to Italian transfer football expert, Nicolo Schira, the clubs have already started discussions with the player’s representatives, indicating their willingness to activate the release clause specified in his contract with Napoli.
Before now, Osimhen has revealed his desire to play in the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester United being his preferred destinations.

He has also caught the attention of Juventus, that had previously attempted to sign him for the 2025/26 season.

Despite this interest, the striker has firmly expressed that his goal is to transition to the English league.

Latest report has disclosed that Osimhen has landed in Nigeria on a private jet after he was granted a four-day leave by Galatasaray to sort out personal issues.
He was granted the leave after he scored a brace against Istanbul rivals Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Cup qualifier final at the Ulker Stadium earlier this week.

CrimeHerdsmen Attack: When The Victims Become The Criminals by Wisewriter(op): 5:23pm On Mar 29, 2025
I opened this thread as a Columnist to Voice my Opinin in What I termed Selective Justice

*The Selective Justice of the Nigerian Government: When the Victims Become the Criminals*

The unending spate of killings and destruction caused by armed herdsmen in the South-East and other parts of Nigeria is no longer just an issue of insecurity; it is a crisis of governance, justice, and selective law enforcement. The latest attacks on communities in Enugu, Benue, and Ebonyi, where innocent civilians were murdered in cold blood, homes razed, and families displaced, have once again highlighted the disturbing reality: the government is either indifferent or complicit when the victims are ordinary citizens. However, when herdsmen are attacked, the government suddenly finds its voice, deploying law enforcement with astonishing speed.

A Pattern of Neglect and Selective Action

On July 30, 2024, Mgbagbu-Owa community in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State was attacked by suspected herdsmen. T[b]en people were killed, and homes were burnt, yet no immediate government intervention followed.[/b]

Similarly, on April 30, 2024, herdsmen reportedly attacked mourners at Ugwuijoro Nimbo community in Enugu, killing four people on the spot (Punch Newspaper). Enugu’s governor made the usual statements, vowing swift action, but history shows that such promises often lead nowhere.

The killings extend beyond Enugu. On February 6, 2025, six people were murdered in Benue State in an attack attributed to suspected herdsmen (Channels TV). This follows a long history of similar assaults in Benue, a state that has suffered immensely from armed herdsmen’s activities.

In Ebonyi State, herdsmen have turned Ishiagu into a battleground. On June 18, 2023, Emmanuel Igwe, an Assistant Electoral Officer with INEC, was murdered alongside Ajah Okafor, the father of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth wing chieftain, Damian Okafor. Igwe’s wife was also kidnapped along the Ishiagu-Mpu road . Again, no substantial action was taken.

In November 2024, the herdsmen struck again in Amaeze, Ishiagu, killing a farmer and his two sons as they worked on their farm (ThisDayLive). The government’s silence was deafening.

The Double Standard in Law Enforcement
While these gruesome killings and displacement of entire communities continue unchecked, the response from the Nigerian government has been disturbingly slow, sometimes nonexistent. However, the moment there is any retaliation or self-defense against herdsmen, security agencies react with unprecedented urgency.

Communities that attempt to defend themselves are swiftly labeled as “militants,” “vigilantes,” or “secessionists.” When herdsmen are attacked, law enforcement authorities move with immediate action, making arrests, imposing curfews, and launching investigations. This has created a lopsided system where the aggressors act with impunity, knowing the government will protect them, while the victims are punished for fighting back.

A Call for Accountability
This selective justice is fueling resentment and endangering the fragile unity of Nigeria. If the government truly upholds justice, then all Nigerians—whether they be herdsmen or villagers—must be treated equally under the law. Security agencies should be as swift in arresting and prosecuting killer herdsmen as they are in dealing with those who resist them.

The government must answer an important question: why does it take swift action only when herdsmen are attacked, while victims of herdsmen violence are ignored? Until this question is addressed, the people of the South-East and other affected regions will continue to see the state’s inaction as an endorsement of the killings.

Nigerians deserve a government that protects all its citizens, not one that selectively dispenses justice based on ethnicity or political convenience. The time for silence is over. The government must act decisively to end these attacks, or risk losing the trust of the very people it claims to serve.
