It was the exact situation he was appointed to prevent and when he could not prevent it, he had benefitted from it. Yet with his reward of the highest office, he still did not smile, not for the cameras, not for the poor people of Guinea-Bissau, not for.. https://t.co/JwulvpgOWQ

The United Nations Children’s Fund has said that the climate crisis has hit Nigerian children the hardest, stressing that Nigeria is now among the riskiest countries in the world for children facing climate threats, yet it remains dangerously ill-prepared. https://t.co/zdvWW3k67e

Amid the lingering insecurity, kidnapping and terrorism in Nigeria, I reported how insurgency is pushing Nigerian children out of school. https://t.co/PstFg76h2y

In Nigeria, leaders don't roll their sleeves over a broken system. They roll their trousers and evade their responsibilities. Other times, they look sideways and deny a glaring truth.
When a system is broken, it is easy to blame, easier to leave. But the real test of integrity is staying to rebuild what others gave up on. Good people don’t walk away, they roll up their sleeves.

Did you expect much from Nigeria's government and @officialABAT? The deradicalization program is ongoing. When leaders fail, Citizens die for wrong courses.
Would the Nigerian State be pardoning the terrorists who killed Brigadier-Gen. Samaila Mohammed Uba in due course? Would they be deemed repentant enough to be absorbed into the military? Nigeria and its ruinous harvest of idiotic lies..🇳🇬🤔

Madam first lady(unconstitutional) you have failed. I won't be surprised if you suggest a national prayer for an incident which requires proactive action and counter assault tomorrow. "Deeply saddened," with your two eyes shut at night when schoolgirls are still held as hostages.
I am deeply saddened by the news of the abduction of the 25 students of the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, Kebbi State and the tragic killing of the Vice Principal. This heartbreaking incident is not only an attack on innocent girls and dedicated

Nigerians are getting killed. People's lives are being cut short in their prime. Whether Christians or Muslims, we are all Nigerians and @officialABAT, FG and @DHQNigeria owe Nigerians the safety of lives and properties. People like Gumi should be under watch not on headlines.
Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has tasked outspoken Plateau State clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, to produce a list of 500 Christians killed by Islamic extremists and bandits, and he will also produce a list of at least 1,000 Muslims killed by Christian militias

You think journalists are doing too much until you see incidences like this. Everyone deserves protection, human dignity and safety which @officialABAT failed to provide. The only thing this present govt knows best is taxation of the poor, vulnerable Nigerians.

These aren't bandits, they are well armed terrorists who abducted schoolgirls, people's daughters, and sisters. Killed men of Valor and a Brigadier General.

The soldiers who were killed are people’s fathers, brothers, and breadwinners, and the footage is extremely gory. What makes it even more painful is that, despite these heartbreaking losses, the @DHQNigeria continues to stage monthly statements boasting about unprogressive wins

I told her I would marry her when the Super Eagles qualify for a World Cup. Now she thinks that I am just playing games because 2030 is also tentative. And honestly, the Eagles have been anything but super. Very wingless eagles.🥲

Trying to lock in as a chronic procrastinator just means not getting anything done (whether in or outside the lock-in scope) until it's almost too late.

This is no easy task as Nasarawa is densely populated, with many hard-to-reach communities and impoverished and affluent communities often sitting side by side. https://t.co/06bEdwMsPV
