RELEASING TINUBU'S PAST INVESTIGATION DOCUMENTS WILL EMBARRASS NIGERIA AND INFLUENCE 2027 ELECTION - BURATAI WARNS U.S GOVERNMENT

Image
Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has warned the United States against releasing documents allegedly linked to past dr@g-tr@fficking investigations involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying such a move could amount to foreign interference in Nigeria’s affairs and influence the 2027 elections.  Buratai made the remarks in a paper titled “Nigeria First: A Case for Protecting National Sovereignty and Dignity – A Patriotic and Non-Partisan Perspective,” published on his verified Facebook page.  He argued that the controversy should not be viewed solely as an issue concerning Tinubu, stressing that its implications could extend to the country’s image, sovereignty and political stability.  “This is not merely about Bola Tinubu; it is about 250 million Nigerians whose national pride, economic prospects, and global standing hang in the balance,” he stated.  Buratai questioned why an issue dating back about 33 years was being revived,...

Gospel music minister Asu Ekiye has offered clarification on the circumstances surrounding the dissolution of his 28-year marriage, following numerous calls and messages seeking to understand what led to the separation.

He stated that for about a year after the separation, he made several efforts and appeals towards reconciliation, hoping that the marriage could be preserved. However, he said those efforts were unsuccessful as his wife remained firm in her decision. “Having done all I could to seek reconciliation, I eventually came to the difficult decision to accept the reality of the situation and allow the divorce process to take its course,” Ekiye said.

The Ogoni Dialogue Committee, ODC, has denied claims that it influenced the allocation of 40 job slots at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, or played any role in the award of government contracts. Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt, ODC Chairman, Professor Don Baridam, said the 40 employment opportunities were proposed as part of confidence-building measures in the Ogoni dialogue with the Federal Government.

Image
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has revealed that she felt unexpectedly lonely and sad after her staff eliminated cockroaches from her official residence in Tokyo. Takaichi shared the unusual experience on X on August 22 while responding to a question she frequently receives about whether she had encountered the ghosts reportedly said to haunt the prime minister’s official residence. However, Takaichi said she had never encountered any ghosts. Instead, she found herself dealing with cockroaches.

IF YOU LINE UP ALL THE WEALTHY PEOPLE IN NIGERIA, YOU CANNOT TRACE MOST OF THEM TO ANY PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITY - OBY EZEKWESILI

Image
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has criticised Nigeria’s political and economic system, arguing that questionable wealth is often rewarded while productive citizens struggle. Speaking on News Central’s “60 Minutes with Mr. Kay,” Ezekwesili said Nigeria’s leadership recruitment process has been structured in ways that can make a lack of character an advantage. She said, “the processes for leadership recruitment have in many ways been designed in the image of those who have held the levers of power.” According to her, when people in power create barriers against individuals with character, “the political culture that then becomes one where a lack of character is actually an advantage.” “When you have that kind of a distortion where bad behavior is what your political system rewards, there will be a market for bad behavior. And then good behavior is punished,” she said. She also criticised the perception that government is a major pathway to becoming wealthy. “Lo...
