Young Nigerians Are Losing Hope In The Future Of The Country – Atiku Expresses Concern

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has voiced concern that many young Nigerians are beginning to lose faith in the country.

Atiku said he feels deeply sad over how young Nigerians are lamenting over hardship, fraudulent elections and bad governance.

Posting on his Facebook page, the former Vice President told the youths that the change they desire cannot be attained by voter apathy, noting that 25 percent to 30 percent voter turnout in every election cycle is not encouraging.

He wrote: “I am extremely concerned at how young Nigerians are losing hope about the future of our country.

“Every time they come to have a conversation with me about bad governance, fraudulent elections, and resultant hardship being faced by citizens, I deeply feel sad about the situation.

“Yesterday evening, I received yet another group of youths from across the 19 Northern states, led by Alh. Adamu Bappa Gombe.

“They were worried about how their votes don’t count and how bad governance and policies impact negatively on their standard of living and private businesses.

“I have continued to encourage them not to give up. I told them the change they desire can only come through the ballot. I reminded them that they have a responsibility to mobilize their fellow young people to keep participating in the process of leadership recruitment through elections.

“I reminded them that the change they desire cannot be attained by voter apathy and that 25% to 30% voter turnout in every election cycle is not encouraging. I challenged them to make a huge difference by influencing massive participation in 2027.

“On our part, we shall not relent until Nigeria is recovered from anti democratic forces.”

Why Male Celebrities Struggle To Bounce Back After Hitting A Low — Nigerian Singer, Iyanya

Nigerian singer Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, popularly known as Iyanya, has urged fans to show more empathy toward celebrities, noting that fame does not shield them from emotional challenges.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the Your Waist crooner reflected on the pressures of fame, describing the life of a celebrity as “a double-edged sword.”

“We need to understand that celebs are humans with deep feelings and struggles like everyone else.

“Beyond the media glamorisation of their lives and personalities is a human simply asking and wishing and yearning to be human like the rest of us. It is a double-edged sword,”Iyanya wrote.

He further noted that male celebrities, in particular, often face even greater internal struggles due to societal expectations that discourage vulnerability.

“For male celebrities, perhaps there may be an even deeper level of struggle to come back up when one has hit a low — because men are wired to be stoic, not show vulnerability, not ask for help or they’d be considered weak,” he added.

Iyanya’s post has drawn attention from fans and colleagues who resonated with his message on the hidden emotional toll of fame and public life.

2027: Why Goodluck Jonathan Is Not A Threat To Tinubu – Presidential Aide

Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, Senior Special Assistant on Print Media to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has dismissed speculations about former President Goodluck Jonathan’s potential political comeback, stating that there is nothing to worry about if he chooses to run again.

Speaking in an interview in Kano, AbdulAziz said Jonathan’s previous defeat as a sitting president shows he poses no political threat.

“Somebody who was defeated while he was a sitting President, there is nothing he can do now. Maybe he can come and try his luck. It is the beauty of democracy. Anybody can decide to contest.” 

AbdulAziz, however, insisted that Jonathan’s possible return does not bother anyone, including President Bola Tinubu.

“But Jonathan is not a threat at all. No one is scared of him. Certainly, not the President,” he said.

“As I said, someone who could not win his election while he was president, why will he be a threat now that he is far away from the stool, aside other constraints?”

He also cautioned Jonathan against allowing himself to be misled by people. urging him to re-enter the race.

“I am sure that some people will want to mislead him,” AbdulAziz warned.

“Personally I will say that he should not listen to people who want to destroy him or who want to demystify him by urging him on to a contest that is a no contest in the reality—because I don’t see where Jonathan will make an in-road or get any substantial vote in that election.”

“You poor girl and actress, What have you ever bought for your parents? You’re wasting your time I can’t love you. Leave my life. You this ingrate. Who knows you? before I come into your life and raise you up”.

2027: Forcing Peter Obi To Withdraw Will Take Away The Hope Of Nigerians – Labour Party

The Labour Party (LP) has addressed ongoing discussions about potential alliances with opposition parties and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The LP’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Tony Akeni, in an interview with Punch, dismissed speculation that Peter Obi could step down for any political coalition or rival aspirant.

According to Akeni, forcing Peter Obi to withdraw from the 2027 race will amount to betraying the hopes of millions of Nigerians seeking change.

He maintained that neither Peter Obi nor the Obidient Movement would surrender their presidential bid, stressing that “our motto is forward never, backward never.”

He added, “Forcing Peter Obi to withdraw from the race is to take away 90 per cent of the hope of Nigerians for redemption and a new beginning.

“So, I see a situation where we will all come together, stakeholders, and take the right decision at the right time. And that right time is still a little bit far away. It’s going to be close to the primaries.

“There is no substitute for the ideology of the Labour Party. And so, we are going head on for the presidency if the right decision is not taken by the coalition.”

Akeni also appealed to Atiku to prove his love for the country by doing the right thing and giving Peter Obi a chance in 2027.

He said, “Let Atiku think of what is best for his epitaph. Would he like to be remembered as the man who sacrificed Nigeria for his ambition, yet he didn’t get it, or the man who sacrificed his ambition for Nigeria and took it from the cliff to the pathway of modern progress and advancement?”

Super Eagles Finally Land In Uyo After Turbulent Flight From South Africa

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have safely landed in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, following a tense delay caused by a midair emergency on their flight from Polokwane, South Africa.

The Super Eagles, originally scheduled to land on Saturday, touched down safely at about 8:05 a.m. on Sunday after a technical scare forced their chartered aircraft to return to Luanda, Angola.

According to reports, the Value Jet aircraft made an initial stop in Luanda to refuel before continuing to Uyo. However, just twenty-five minutes after takeoff, the pilot was compelled to make a swift U-turn after a loud crack appeared on the aircraft’s windshield.

What had begun as a smooth journey quickly turned into a tense episode. Players, coaching staff, and government officials aboard the flight were said to have remained calm as the pilot executed a safe return to Luanda, where they disembarked to await further arrangements from the airline.

Despite the scare, the team eventually continued their trip to Uyo without further incident.

The Super Eagles are set to face Benin Republic in a must-win 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. The fixture is crucial, with Nigeria’s qualification hopes hanging in the balance after their hard-fought 2-1 win over Lesotho in Polokwane on Friday.

Captain William Troost-Ekong and debutant Akor Adams were the heroes on the night, scoring second-half goals that secured the victory. However, a late slip by goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali allowed Lesotho a consolation goal, keeping fans on edge until the final whistle.

The victory lifted Nigeria to third place in Group C with 14 points, trailing South Africa by one point and leaders Benin Republic by three. To book an automatic ticket to the World Cup, Nigeria must not only beat Benin convincingly but also hope that South Africa fail to defeat Rwanda in Mbombela.

In other matches, South Africa were held to a goalless draw by Zimbabwe in Durban, while Benin edged Rwanda 1-0, leaving the group finely poised ahead of Tuesday’s decisive encounters.
