BREAKING: Nigerian Man Collinton Obinna Egwuete Exposed as Alleged Operator Behind Female Persona on X Account @obirule25 Enugu, Nigeria – June 2026 – A fresh online investigation has unmasked Collinton Obinna Egwuete, a 34-year-old man from Igbo Etiti in Enugu State, as the individual allegedly running the X (formerly Twitter) account @obirule25 while posing as a woman. According to community sleuths and investigators linked to the prominent Nigerian OSINT and fact-checking platform Trojan Beast (@THETROJANBEAST), Egwuete has been using stolen photographs of a South African woman, Precious Kamogelo Mathibela, to maintain a female identity on the platform. The account, which presents itself as a vocal “Social Commentator | Good Governance Advocate | Activism | Freedom Fighter,” has engaged users — particularly men — in political discussions within Nigeria’s “Obidient” movement. Two clear photographs of Egwuete, where he was identified are in our possessionɓ following the investigation, confirming the identity match: One shows him shirtless indoors in a thoughtful pose, hand near his chin, with red accent lighting. The other captures him standing confidently outside a Kilimanjaro-branded building in a maroon traditional outfit and sandals, holding a phone. Investigators recently pieced together the connection through photo forensics, location details from Enugu, and behavioral patterns on the account. The revelation has triggered widespread reactions on X, with users accusing the operator of classic catfishing tactics: deploying attractive female profile pictures to build trust before steering conversations into political mobilization or potentially personal matters. This type of deception — blending romance-style catfishing with political commentary — is a recurring issue in Nigerian online spaces, where such accounts can quickly amass followers and influence. No response has yet been received from Egwuete or the @obirule25 account regarding the allegations. The exposure, credited to diligent community investigation spearheaded with input from Trojan Beast’s network, serves as a stark reminder of the prevalence of online impersonation. Key Advice for X Users Always verify profiles with video calls or independent checks, especially those using glamorous or professional photos. Report suspected impersonation or scam accounts directly on X. Conduct reverse image searches on profile pictures using tools like Google Lens. If you’ve shared personal or financial information, preserve evidence and report to the EFCC. This developing story underscores the ongoing battle against digital deception in Nigeria’s active political discourse. More details are expected as the investigation continues. Community watchdogs like Trojan Beast remain active in exposing such cases to promote greater online accountability. Stay vigilant.

This is the Abakaliki–Afikpo flyover section of the Ebonyi–Cross River–Nasarawa–Benue–Abuja Super Highway, a landmark project valued at over ₦400 billion, and this particular place we are seeing now is the Abaomege section of the road, my own community. I must say that seeing my people so happy yesterday, shouting the names of President Tinubu and Engr. David Umahi because of this project, brought tears down to my eyes. You see, if you're not from my community, Abaomege, made up of seven villages, you will never understand what I am trying to say here. Since 1999, no govt noticed us in the whole of Ebonyi State, and my leader, Engr. David Umahi, confirmed exactly what I am saying yesterday. In fact, it got so bad at some point that we did not even know if we were part of the South-East, talk more of Nigeria. Then Sen. David Umahi came in as Governor and did what he could. But in 2023, God answered our prayers in full through Tinubu, Ọ́rùù Kà. Today, I boldly say that my community, Abaomege, is becoming one of the most developed communities in ÀlàIgbo, all thanks to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Engr. David Umahi. What makes this emotional for me is that this road is not just passing through our land, it is rewriting our history. For years, politicians came and went. We listened to promises. We voted. We waited. Nothing happened. Our people travelled on terrible roads, businesses suffered, opportunities passed us by, and many of our young people left believing nothing good could ever come to this place. This is why I laugh whenever I see people who have never stepped foot in communities like mine sit comfortably online and tell us what development looks like. Must I reject what I can see with my own eyes because it does not fit somebody's political narrative? Must Abaomege refuse development because some people have already decided who they want to hate? Must we pretend this road does not exist? Must we deny the transformation taking place in our communities just to make some politicians feel better about themselves? History will be very kind to those who made this possible because long after the noise of politics fades away, this road will remain here. Long after the arguments on media disappear, this road will still be carrying our people, opening up our communities, connecting businesses, and creating opportunities for generations yet unborn. #NigeriaFirst #TinubuReforms #TinubuWillSucceed #StandWithNigeria

Being part of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors PRESIDENTIAL Media Tour opened my eyes to a whole new scope on how to organize large number of people. The team spent over 5 hours seeing different landmark projects (some were almost 60% completed) The villagers even gave President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR @officialABAT the "ORUU KA" which means "TOO MUCH WORK" You need to see the massive grassroot love they all have for Engr David Umahi Hon Minister of Works and Rt Hon Francis Ogbonnaya Nwifuru the governor of Ebonyi state One more thing,Engr David Umahi drove himself to all these locations and whenever he talks about a particular project, he gave indepth and accurate information about it (length, width, amount and duration) When I am settled, I will write my personal experience of the uniqueness, humility and friendship of all the Presidential Media Team led by Egbon Bayo Onanuga @aonanuga1956. God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR @officialABAT.

The Abakaliki–Afikpo fly-over section of the Ebonyi–Cross River–Nasarawa–Benue–Abuja Super Highway, a landmark project valued at over ₦400 billion, is set to unlock new opportunities, boost trade, improve mobility, and drive economic growth across the South-East, South-South, and North-Central regions. This is more than a road project it is a pathway to greater commerce, stronger regional integration, and a more connected Nigeria. Another major step in building the Nigeria we all desire. #NigeriaFirst #TinubuReforms #TinubuWillSucceed #StandWithNigeria

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT TINUBU EXPRESSES SADNESS OVER THE DEATH OF RETIRED MAJOR-GENERAL ABUBAKAR, CONDOLES WITH THE FAMILY President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed shock over the death of retired Major-General Rabe Abubakar while in the custody of terrorists in Katsina State. General Abubakar, after a distinguished career in the military, retired a few years ago. He was on his way to his hometown when the hoodlums captured him The President commiserated with his family, especially his wife, who is still being held against her will by the captors. He also extended his condolences to the Katsina State government and the armed forces. While the terrorists have done their worst, the President wants them to know that the government will never bow to their demand to release their members held by our security agencies. As I said on June 12: “Bandits, kidnappers, and sponsors of terror should now surrender or face the full force of the Nigerian State. These windows of surrender will not remain open forever. And no mercy will be shown to those who trade in the blood of Nigerians. “As Nigerians, we must stand united and be assured that the enemies of our nation shall soon be history. We will triumph over terror and continue to build a more prosperous nation. “General Abubakar’s death should further serve as a defining moment in our battle against terrorists and insurgents, never to negotiate with them on any terms, but to continue to treat them as the greatest enemies of our dear nation, who should never be spared.” Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President, (Information & Strategy) June 13, 2024

Nigeria will succeed whether the noisemakers and naysayers agree or not! All their hateful and evil efforts will fail and Nigeria will prosper under this government! 🙏🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

How can @PeterObi wake up after church and claim that No. 10 Downing Street has only 3 rooms? Fact: The building complex actually has around 100 rooms, it connects with 11 and 12 Downing Street, housing the PM’s office, residence, state rooms, and more. Same Peter Obi who, as Anambra Governor for 8 years, faced serious questions over insecurity and alleged failures in governance. A serial exaggeration merchant. Even by 2031, this pattern won’t magically make him President. Nigerians deserve better than recycled tales.

I want to see how the Morocco players and fans will go and be dragging the Brazilian goalkeepers' towels tonight.

The Woman Behind Nairtime Nigeria/Optasia – Understanding the Facts Behind the Debate Recent discussions around Nigeria’s airtime lending ecosystem have generated significant public interest, with various claims circulating about market structure, ownership, competition, and industry participants. As the conversation continues, it is important to examine publicly available information and the facts that have emerged. The face behind Nairtime Nigeria Limited is Uchenna Agbo, a Nigerian executive with extensive experience in technology and digital finance.  According to publicly available information, Uchenna Agbo is a graduate of the University of Ibadan, where she studied Philosophy, and later obtained an MSc in Business IT from Middlesex University. She also completed the TRIUM Global Executive MBA programme jointly delivered by NYU Stern, HEC Paris, and the London School of Economics. She currently serves as Chief Commercial Officer of Optasia’s global operations and is the Chief Executive Officer at Nairtime Nigeria Limited. Contrary to some narratives that have portrayed the company as a faceless foreign operation, public corporate records indicate that Nairtime Nigeria Limited is a registered Nigerian company that has operated within the country’s telecommunications and digital services ecosystem for several years. The ongoing debate has also raised questions about competition within the airtime lending sector. Industry stakeholders have noted that airtime lending services typically involve multiple technology providers, aggregators, and telecom operators working within the same ecosystem. Reports have identified several companies operating in the space, suggesting a multi-participant market structure rather than one driven by a single provider. Questions have equally been raised about reports concerning the emergence of new operators within the industry. However, investigations and publicly available records cited by various media reports indicate that some of the companies referenced in recent discussions may have existing corporate histories or ownership structures that differ from claims circulating online.

Airtime Lending: Headed By Igbo Woman, Who Schooled In Ibadan: Meet Optasia/Nairtime   Who is the real face behind Optasia and Nairtime? Meet Uchenna Agbo—an Igbo woman and a proud alumna of Nigeria’s premier institution, the University of Ibadan, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy. Far from a "faceless" entity, she is at the wheel of Nigeria’s digital credit infrastructure. ​Uchenna’s academic journey is world-class. After graduating from the University of Ibadan, she obtained an MSc in Business IT from Middlesex University and completed the prestigious TRIUM Global Executive MBA (conferred by NYU Stern, HEC Paris, and the London School of Economics). She brings over two decades of global tech experience to the table. ​For 14 years, she has been a pillar of Optasia's global - registered In Nigeria - growth, rising to become the global Chief Commercial Officer. In Nigeria, she leads Nairtime Nigeria Limited—a locally incorporated subsidiary established in 2012, staffed by local talent, and fully licensed by the NCC. This directly dismantles the "faceless foreign ghost" narrative. ​ Under her leadership, Optasia has championed local digital trust. In February 2026, the company served as the official Platinum Sponsor of Nigeria's National Privacy Week, collaborating directly with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) to drive responsible AI and consumer data governance. ​What about the "monopoly" narrative used to justify regulatory clampdowns? Real industry data shows the market is non-exclusive and multi-vendor by design. Telecom operators routinely split subscriber traffic between multiple backend aggregators like Creditswitch, Fonyou, and Nairtime to manage credit risk and maintain high service quality. ​Public skepticism peaked after blogger Tunde Ednut shared claims about "nine new firms" taking over the market. Tech-savvy citizens checked Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) records, only to find some of these "new" companies were actually active market incumbents or had complex foreign structures. ​When a regulatory clash threatened to block airtime lending, over 40 million lower-income Nigerians lost their financial safety net. To protect everyday users, Nairtime strongly advicated to prevent operators from cutting off critical USSD, SMS, and billing systems. ​Digital inclusion shouldn't be about populist takeovers based on false narratives of monopoly,  fake presidential approvals, and fictitious N3trillion taken out of a N400b sector, but about celebrating local leadership, data transparency, and consumer protection, and providing for the needs of Nigerians, particularly the masses. With pioneers like Uchenna Agbo at the helm, Nigeria’s fintech future can remain both globally competitive and locally grounded. pulse.ng/story/inside-the-na… #AirtimeLending #OptasiaNigeria #FCCPC #Trend #Airtimeborrowing #Nigerians

'...The lies on social media has drowned the voice of the good work of what President Tinubu is doing. And that is a fundamental problem. And that is why global agencies who are unbiased and partisern are coming back and give kudos to him... - Obafemi George, political scientist

How a Courageous Police Mission Returned 5,000 Displaced Residents to Fegin Kanawa in Zamfara For months, Fegin Kanawa, a remote community in Zamfara State, stood deserted as residents fled relentless attacks and threats from armed bandits. The difficult terrain leading to the village, coupled with fears of landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), had turned the area into what many considered a no-go zone. However, in a bold demonstration of leadership and commitment to public safety, the Commissioner of Police in Zamfara State, CP Ahmed Mohammed Bello, led a determined security mission to restore confidence in the area and facilitate the return of displaced residents to their ancestral homes. Despite warnings about the dangers posed by the route and the security situation, the police leadership pressed ahead with the mission, convinced that lasting peace could only be achieved by restoring communities that had been emptied by violence. The operation involved the deployment of substantial police personnel and security assets to Fegin Kanawa and surrounding areas to ensure the safety of returning residents. Security patrols were intensified, strategic positions were secured, and measures were put in place to prevent bandit incursions and reassure residents of their protection. As confidence gradually returned, more than 5,000 displaced residents began moving back into the community after months of displacement. The return was marked by emotional scenes as families reunited with their homes, farms and livelihoods. Residents were seen chanting praises and offering prayers for the police, expressing gratitude for what they described as a courageous intervention that restored hope to a community once abandoned by fear. Many of the returnees commended CP Ahmed Mohammed Bello and the officers involved in the operation for personally venturing into a terrain widely regarded as dangerous in order to guarantee their safe return. Community leaders described the development as a major milestone in ongoing efforts to restore normalcy in parts of Zamfara affected by banditry, noting that the sustained police presence had strengthened public confidence and encouraged displaced persons to rebuild their lives.

IPOB has taken the lives of more military men than bandits, but Peter Obi never talked about them. But Nnamdi Kanu is innocent to him... Aakuri elepa Kano...

Every patriotic Nigerian will watch and share this message from this solid and gallant Army Instructor. #NigeriaFirst #UniteAgainstTerror #StandWithNigeria #SayNoToTerrorism 💙.
