Someone wrote a letter (petition) to the EFCC asking them to investigate Deji Adeyanju (a lawyer and activist) and Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan).

The person who wrote the letter is Blessing Agbomhere.

What is he asking EFCC to check?
• Where they get money for their activities.
• Who funds their protests and campaigns.
• Whether any of the money comes from illegal sources.
• Whether any of the money could be connected to activities that may threaten Nigeria’s security.

Think of it like this:

If someone suddenly starts spending a lot of money on projects, events, and campaigns, someone may ask, “Where is all this money coming from?” The EFCC can investigate to find out.

The petitioner wants EFCC to:
• Check their bank accounts.
• Check their assets (houses, cars, etc.).
• Check their businesses.
• Check their sources of income.

Very important:

❌ The petition does not say they are guilty.

✅ It only asks EFCC to investigate and confirm whether everything is legal.

The article also says that if EFCC investigates and finds nothing wrong, it could actually help prove that Deji Adeyanju and VeryDarkMan are clean and increase public trust in them.

At the moment, EFCC has not officially said anything yet, and an investigation does not mean a person has committed a crime. It simply means someone has asked the agency to look into the matter.

The Federal Government is planning to commit about ₦30 billion to emergency and long-term repairs aimed at preventing the collapse of the ageing Eko Bridge in Lagos, while also preparing to begin construction of a new Carter Bridge as part of broader efforts to modernise critical transport infrastructure in the commercial capital.

Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, disclosed this on Thursday during an inspection of ongoing federal road and bridge projects in Lagos. He also defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, dismissing critics as underestimating the complexity of governance.

Umahi said emergency stabilisation works had already begun on Eko Bridge following structural risks linked to illegal sand dredging, repeated collisions involving heavy-duty trucks, and fire damage caused by trading activities beneath the structure.

He explained that an immediate intervention estimated at ₦12 billion has been proposed for approval, while another ongoing contract valued at about ₦18 billion covers underwater repairs and the replacement of key structural components.

According to him, the combined interventions are aimed at safeguarding the bridge and ensuring its continued service while long-term reconstruction plans are being developed.

The immediate intervention is going to cost about ₦12 billion. We’ve sent it through the appropriate channels, and by next week, I will be meeting Mr President for intervention funds to restore that bridge,” Umahi said.

He explained that engineers had adopted alternative construction methods to accelerate rehabilitation works without compromising safety standards.

“To save time, we decided that instead of using concrete beams, we would use T-beams. Every stage of the construction will be closely monitored to ensure compliance with engineering designs and approved construction procedures,” he said.

The Minister expressed confidence that rehabilitation works on Eko Bridge would be completed before the end of the year.

He disclosed that part of the intervention includes excavating sections beneath the bridge and constructing reinforced concrete pavement to achieve the minimum engineering headroom requirement of 5.6 metres for heavy-duty trucks.

Umahi added that future bridge projects under the Ministry would adopt a higher clearance standard of 6.5 metres to accommodate larger vehicles and improve durability.

The Minister also directed the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos to establish a task force to address the illegal occupation of spaces beneath bridges and to prevent activities that could endanger public infrastructure.

On the proposed new Carter Bridge, Umahi announced that mobilisation for construction would commence this month, with site activities expected to begin on Monday.

He commended China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), the contractor handling the project, for demonstrating commitment by mobilising equipment and personnel even before receiving mobilisation funds.

“I am very impressed with what CCECC is doing. We have not even paid the mobilisation fee, but they have shown willingness to partner with the Federal Government and demonstrate capacity,” he said.

The Minister disclosed that the government would now proceed with processing the statutory 30 per cent mobilisation payment.

He also praised the project’s consultant, Advanced Engineering Consultant (AEC), for helping to resolve complex engineering and stakeholder issues that had threatened the bridge’s original alignment.

According to Umahi, technical reviews and consultations successfully addressed more than 80 per cent of the encumbrances affecting the project, including concerns relating to the vicinity of the Oba of Lagos’ Palace and other sensitive locations.

The new Carter Bridge, he said, would feature modern engineering designs, including two navigation spans of 105 metres each to enhance water transportation and marine activities along the corridor.

“We are bringing in modern road and bridge architecture. The bridge will have two 105-metre spans to aid navigation, and it will also feature a rope bridge. We must continue to develop forward, not backward,” he stated.

Director of Advanced Engineering Consultant, Olatinwo Alatinwo, said the bridge design had been significantly optimised following consultations with stakeholders.

He noted that the revised alignment minimises disruption to surrounding communities while creating a sustainable long-term transport solution.

According to him, the new bridge will provide a clearance height of 12 metres and feature navigation spans significantly wider than those on the existing structure.

“The new bridge takes care of both today’s demand and future demand,” he said.

CCECC Nigeria Limited Project Manager, Dang Yinan, assured the government of the company’s readiness to commence work immediately.

“Following Your Excellency’s directive and our mobilisation plan, we will begin accessing the site on Monday and do our best to deliver the project,” he said.

Umahi also used the occasion to highlight what he described as President Tinubu’s commitment to nationwide infrastructure development.

He revealed that the President had approved the release of funds for Section One of the Fourth Legacy Road Project, the 125-kilometre Agwanga–Jos corridor, while the Gombe–Biu Road project had been awarded and the design of the Gombe–Bauchi Road was underway.

The Minister dismissed claims by some political figures that they were better qualified to lead the country than Tinubu.

He argued that the President’s record, particularly during his tenure as governor of Lagos State, demonstrated exceptional leadership capacity and vision.

There are challenges, but leadership is about finding solutions. The courage to confront those challenges is what President Bola Tinubu continues to demonstrate,” Umahi said.

How did Valentine’s Day come about?

Valentine’s Day is connected to a man named Saint Valentine.

According to history:
• He lived during the time of Roman Emperor Claudius II.
• The emperor believed single men made better soldiers, so he banned young men from getting married.
• Saint Valentine secretly performed marriages for couples in love.
• When he was caught, he was imprisoned and later executed on February 14 around the year 269 AD.

Because of his sacrifice for love, February 14 became known as Valentine’s Day.

⸻

How it became romantic

Later in history, especially in places like England and France, people believed February was the season when birds choose their mates. That idea connected the day even more with romance.

Over time, it became a global celebration of love.

⸻

Since you’re a content creator, here’s a funny line you can use:

“Valentine started as secret wedding ministry… now it’s secret relationship pressure.” 😂💔

Nigeria here, Nigeria there, Nigeria every where you go , Nigeria this Nigeria that, what is really going on with you Nigeria, why is your Name everywhere 😂😂😂😂😂

This is why they always see Nigeria as unserious country.. their words always build on a lie’s foundation

Nairaland can be so annoying sometimes… bro go and see a doctor.. that’s my advice to you… thank you.

Nigeria’s major airports-like Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos) and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Abuja)-don’t appear on many “best airport” rankings in Africa (2025) because they generally don’t score as highly as airports that made the list on key international measures such as passenger experience, infrastructure quality, service standards, and customer satisfaction

🫵If anyone say to you come let me show you the quickest way to make money, my brothers, my sisters , my enemies , run for your life.. there’s no easy way to make money in this life 🫵

This is what you get when your government refuse to build your country .. I don’t blame Ghana , i blame your people who decided to be committing crime anywhere they go. Mind you I’m a Nigeria but I dislike people who commit crime.. stay away from crime you say no. Congratulations for disgracing Nigeria.. Nonsense

✅ ADVANTAGES OF STATE POLICE

1. Better Local Security
• State police officers would understand local languages, culture, terrain, and crime patterns.
• This makes it easier to fight kidnapping, banditry, cultism, and communal clashes.

2. Faster Response to Crime
• Decisions would be made at the state level, not Abuja.
• Emergencies could be handled quickly without federal delays.

3. Reduced Pressure on Federal Police
• The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is overstretched.
• State police would share the workload, improving overall security.

4. Job Creation
• Each state would recruit officers, reducing youth unemployment.
• It can also stimulate local training institutions.

5. Accountability & Community Trust
• Citizens can hold state authorities more accountable.
• Community-based policing may increase trust and intelligence sharing.

⸻

❌ DISADVANTAGES OF STATE POLICE

1. Political Abuse
• Governors may use state police to intimidate opposition, rig elections, or silence critics.
• Nigeria’s political history makes this a major fear.

2. Unequal Funding & Capacity
• Wealthy states (e.g., Lagos, Rivers) may have strong police forces.
• Poorer states may struggle, creating uneven security across Nigeria.

3. Ethnic or Religious Bias
• State police could favor indigenes or dominant groups, leading to discrimination.
• This could worsen ethnic and religious tensions.

4. Weak Oversight
• Without strong laws, state police may abuse power.
• Human rights violations could increase if checks are weak.

5. Constitutional & Legal Challenges
• Nigeria’s constitution currently gives policing to the federal government.
• Creating state police requires constitutional amendment, which is complex.

⸻

⚖️ KEY CONDITIONS IF STATE POLICE IS CREATED

To reduce risks, Nigeria would need:
• Strong federal oversight
• Independent police service commissions at state level
• Clear funding standards
• Strict human rights and disciplinary laws
• Protection against political interference

⸻

🔍 SIMPLE SUMMARY

State police can improve security, but without strong safeguards, it could be abused by politicians and deepen inequality.

Bunch of useless people,

Jovi10:
Lmao source from telegraph 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣 Putin had a meeting with Iran's minister yesterday and they said they would support Iran with anything they want . It is left for Iran to ask. Repeatedly they have said why they didn't interfere because Iran didn't ask for help because they were capable of dealing with Israel on their own which they did untill Israel ran to their big uncle for help.

One on one without any interference from Russia or USA , Iran go too beat Israel.

Conflict has killed hundreds

In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the war. Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 974 people and wounded 3,458 others, according to the Washington-based group Human Rights Activists.
