Spurs down 2 with under a minute left De'Aaron Fox:

Congratulations Knicks! Brunson what a game!

Wemby! Oh my Goodness!

His Excellency Atiku Abubakar was represented by Hon. Nnena Ukeje, the former Chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Kola Oweyo, a legendary thespian and scholar of African drama. His iconic role as King Lapite in the timeless "Saworoide" immortalised his immense talent and teachings. A great void has been left in Theatre Arts. He will be sorely missed by lovers of African stories worldwide. I join his family and fans in mourning this exceptional dramatist and teacher of social conscience. May his soul rest in peace. -AA

So tragic. May Allah forgive him!

Your Excellency, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, GCFR. It is with profound joy that I felicitate with you on the occasion of your 84th birthday anniversary. I particularly congratulate you on marking this significant milestone with the public presentation of three books written in your honour, including your autobiography and the proceedings of a festschrift celebrating your life and contributions to our nation. These publications are fitting tributes to a lifetime of service, patriotism, sacrifice, and distinguished leadership. Your attainment of 84 years in remarkable health and strength is a special blessing and a testament to God's abiding grace. At this venerable age, you remain one of Nigeria's most respected elder statesmen, whose life and service continue to inspire generations across our country and beyond. As an associate in the service of Nigeria, I join your family, friends, associates, admirers, and well-wishers in celebrating not only your longevity but also the enduring legacy of your contributions to nation-building. Your visionary leadership in returning Nigeria to democratic governance and laying the foundation of the Fourth Republic remains one of the defining moments in our national history. It is particularly significant that your birthday comes on the heels of the 2026 Democracy Day celebration, marking 27 unbroken years of democratic rule—a legacy to which your leadership made an invaluable contribution. At a critical period in our nation's history, you placed national interest above personal ambition and guided the country through a peaceful transition that restored democratic governance. That singular act of statesmanship secured your place among the architects of modern Nigeria. Beyond that historic achievement, your unwavering commitment to peace, national unity, reconciliation, and democratic values has further distinguished you as a statesman of rare wisdom, courage, and moderation. Your life's work continues to remind us that true leadership is measured not by power exercised, but by sacrifice rendered in service to one's country. As you attain this new age, I have no doubt that you will continue to deploy your vast experience, moral authority, and voice in advancing peace, national cohesion, good governance, and democratic ideals in Nigeria and across Africa. I pray that Almighty God continues to bless you with good health, renewed strength, peace of mind, divine protection, and many more years of impactful service to humanity. On behalf of my family and associates, please accept my warmest congratulations and best wishes for many happy returns of the day in peace, joy, fulfilment, and prosperity. Happy 84th Birthday, Your Excellency. -AA

Nigeria may spend over ₦2 TRILLION chasing power in 2027. Not on roads, schools or hospitals. A cost bigger than the annual budgets of Nigeria's bottom four states. Everyone is angry about INEC's proposed ₦874 billion election budget. But that may be the wrong conversation. The real question is: How much does Nigeria politicians spend trying to WIN elections? When you add party primaries, campaigns, rallies, media, logistics, security, litigation, consultants, political structures and the machinery of incumbency, the hidden cost may be far greater than the official election budget. And the biggest cost is not even money. It is the years lost to permanent campaigning instead of governing. In this episode of OsitaInsight, I examine: ✅ Why the ₦874 billion figure is misleading without context ✅ The hidden economy of elections and political campaigns ✅ Why Nigeria may be spending over $2 billion every election cycle ✅ How a single six-year term could save billions and improve governance ✅ Why we must start measuring the true cost of democracy Before you watch, answer this question: 👉 If Nigeria could save billions and reduce political distractions, would you support a single six-year term for Presidents and Governors? Watch the full episode and share your thoughts. 👇 Video link youtu.be/55ofXxuNMt0?si=K05n… #OsitaInsight #Nigeria2027 #Democracy #Governance #ElectionReform #ClearPathMedia Osita Chidoka 12 June 2026

With so much division and mistrust in our country, I hope and pray that whoever ADC picks as a VP is a true nationalist. Someone who believes and will fight for a more unified and prosperous Nigeria. Somebody who has a track record of being a nationalist.

Insane!

Omo

They will kidnap today, get amnesty tomorow, return to kidnapping the day after tomorow.

So the President has been waiting for the bandits to surrender? While they kidnap, rape & kill Nigerians? Does it look like anybody is surrendering? What kind of incompetence is this? Can we all see now that our President is giving grace period to bandits & kidnappers?

World cup begins tonight!!!! Exciting!!! What team are you guys rooting for to win the cup? My money is on France! With Dembele, Mbappe, Cherki, etc, those guys are unbeatable!
