Nigeria Now a K!lling Field, Over 10,000 Deaths Under Tinubu’s Watch — Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi has described Nigeria as a k!lling field.
According to him, under President Bola Tinubu’s watch, over 10,000 Nigerians have been k!lled across Nigeria by non-state actors.
Quoting figures released by Amnesty International, he said over 10,000 lives have been lost to terrorists, bandits and other criminal gangs in just two years.
In a post on his official X handle yesterday, Obi said: “We can’t stop bemoaning the unending killing in the country. Despite not being at war, the killing, abduction and banditry incidents in our country continue to be daily and increasing at a worrisome rate.
 
“The recent attack in Okigwe, Imo State, that claimed the lives of many, with so many others still missing and feared dead, reflects once again, the alarming insecurity reality in our dear country.
 
“Over the weekend, I read in the dailies that Amnesty International warned that the Nigerian government is emboldening bandits through its “stunning failure” to protect citizens.
 
“They described the week as a bloody one, recording several deaths across various parts of the country, including the massacre of over 50 worshippers in a mosque in Katsina, the abduction of over 60 people in the same Katsina State, and the killing of over 15 farmers in Mangu, Plateau State, which displaced more than 200 families in just days. All of these in a single week in the country.
 
“Amnesty International further revealed that in just two years of this administration, over 10,000 Nigerians have been killed by armed groups in various states across Nigeria. Instead of improving security, insecurity has worsened under this administration and in just two years, with new armed gangs emerging.
 
“Nigeria, which is not even officially at war, has recorded over 10,000 civilian deaths in just two years, a number similar to civilian deaths in Ukraine, which is officially at war.
 
“This means that, in just two years, Nigeria’s insecurity crisis has taken almost as many civilian lives as a country under open warfare.
 
“We must now wake up as a nation. The first duty of any government is to secure the lives and property of its people.
 
“This should concern all of us who claim to be politicians and leaders. We must put Nigerian citizens first, stop the politicking, name-calling, and gossip, and focus on addressing these real issues. The time to act is now. A new Nigeria is possible.”

Women Who Pay Their Own Bills Won’t Listen to Men – Skitmaker Lord Lamba

Comedian and skitmaker Lord Lamba has claimed that women who pay their own bills don’t listen to men.
He made the assertion in a post he shared on X:
“If she is able to pay all her bills without your assistance, she cannot listen to you.”
The post drew mixed reactions.
One user replied: “Paying bills doesn’t cancel mutual respect. Independence is not a license for pride, and providing isn’t a ticket for control. Relationship na partnership not boss and employee vibes.”
Another added: “A woman who truly loves you will naturally be supportive and submissive, whether or not she pays her own bills. Some women simply want to love and be loved in return.”
Some women, however, pushed back. One wrote: “As I’m paying my bills by myself, you have to be doing more than just paying bills for me to take you serious.”
Another said: “It simply means she doesn’t love you. Well-to-do women submit to the men they love in real life, forget the social media brags.”

BBNaija 10: I Was Nominated Because People Saw Me as Threat – Sultana

Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Sultana has revealed why housemates nominated her for Week 5 eviction.
Recall that the nominations held on Monday evening before Biggie announced the week will be eviction free.
Biggie had also reintroduced the traditional nomination style on Monday, where housemates were tasked with nominating two fellow housemates for possible eviction.
It replaced the format where all housemates are up for eviction, which had been in place since the start of the season.
During her diary session with Biggie on Tuesday afternoon, Sultana revealed that she was nominated because other housemates saw her as a threat in the game.
She suggested that she is a strategic player who would prioritize eliminating strong opponents over weaker ones.
She said, “I was nominated because people see me as competition. Because if I was given the power to take out people, I will not take out weak people, I will take out the strong people that will give me problem later.”
In a surprising twist, the nominations were nullified after Rooboy, the Head of House, after he drew a power from the Tree of Trinkets that read “Nullify Nominations”.
This means that no housemate will be evicted based on the nominations, and the game continues with all housemates safe for the week.

There Is No More Corruption in Nigeria – President Tinubu Tells Brazil’s President

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has claimed that there is no more corruption in Nigeria.
He stated this while assuring Brazilian investors that Nigeria’s economic reforms are yielding results.
The President gave the assurance on Monday during a meeting with ministers from both countries and members of the Brazil Business Group.
He emphasized Nigeria’s commitment to deepening partnerships in areas such as technology transfer, food security, manufacturing, and renewable energy.
Describing Nigeria as a “vast, untapped market full of opportunities for Brazilian companies,” Tinubu acknowledged that the reforms introduced by his government were “initially painful, but today the result is blossoming.”
 
“It’s getting clearer to the people. We have more money for the economy, and no more corruption,” he said.
Highlighting efforts to entrench transparency, the President referenced operations at the Central Bank of Nigeria. “You don’t have to know him before getting the foreign exchange you need. The speculators are out. In our currency market, the door is open for businesses.”
Looking back on his earlier visits to Brazil, the Nigerian president stressed the need to shift from symbolic relations to practical economic collaboration.
 
“We have allowed some problems and activities in the past to deter us from making progress and fulfilling our promises, but today we say that is the end of that.”
In a statement released by presidential spokesperson Mr. Bayo Onanuga, it was disclosed that President Tinubu attended a state luncheon at the Itamaraty Palace, where talks focused on strengthening economic cooperation, boosting trade, and promoting innovation-driven partnerships.
The signing of new bilateral agreements is set to enhance collaboration between Nigeria and Brazil, creating new avenues for sustainable development and technological exchange.

BBNaija 10: Biggie Declares Week 5 Free Eviction Week

Biggie has announced Week 5 as eviction free week.
This happened after Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemates had named housemates for possible eviction.
It all happened after housemates had gathered in the sitting room on Monday evening for nominations, following the old nomination style where each housemate nominates two people for possible eviction.
The housemates took turns nominating two fellow housemates for possible eviction.
Following the nominations, Big Brother called out six housemates – Ivatar, Faith, Thelma, Zita, Tracy, and Sultana
Rooboy, the Head of House, was asked to draw a power from the Tree of Trinkets.
The power revealed that nominations were nullified, ultimately rendering all nominations void.
“Head of house Rooboy, you have drawn the power to nullify nominations, this means your nominations are null and void. Is this clear? It means the whole house is safe and free from eviction for the week”. Biggie said.
The housemates responded with a clap, relieved that none of them would be evicted based on the nominations.

ASUU Threatens Nationwide Strike Over FG’s Inaction on 2009 Agreement

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Akure Zone has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike.
Speaking on Monday, August 25, ASUU stated that it is mobilising members across the country for a nationwide rally scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
According to the union, the move is part of ongoing efforts to pressure the Federal Government to address its long-standing demands.
The Zonal Coordinator, Adeola Oyebisi Egbedokun, made this known during a press conference at the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti. He described the rallies as the union’s first decisive response to the government’s continued inaction, warning that the protests signal what lies ahead if concerns remain unaddressed.
Egbedokun noted that the rallies will hold simultaneously across universities nationwide, with academic activities suspended during the demonstrations.
According to him, the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU has given the government until its scheduled meeting of August 28 to respond to the union’s demands, after which the next line of action would be determined.
“For over two years, we have kept faith with dialogue and refrained from strikes, but our patience has reached its limit. If the government continues to play games with the future of our universities, then it must bear the consequences of the storm that will follow,” he warned.
The union listed its demands to include: re-negotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN Agreement, opposition to the TISSF loan scheme—which it described as financial coercion—halting the proliferation of universities, and improved retirement benefits for professors and staff.
Egbedokun also urged members of the public, including the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC), National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), traditional rulers, and the National Assembly, to prevail on the government to avert an avoidable confrontation.
He accused the government of hypocrisy and neglect, citing the abandonment of the Yayale Ahmed report, the “debt trap” of the TISSF loan scheme, unchecked establishment of new universities, and the alleged poor treatment of retired academics.
 
“This government has chosen to mock knowledge, insult scholars, and trample on the foundation of the nation’s future. Enough is enough,” he declared.
He stressed that the burden of averting a crisis now rests solely on the government, saying:
“The ball is no longer in our court. It is squarely in theirs. Let them choose: justice or judgment, action or upheaval, peace or storm.”

“I will buy private jet after Wizkid buys one” – Tunde Ednut

Former Nigerian singer turned blogger Tunde Ednuthas stirred reactions online after publicly mocking music star Wizkid over not owning a private jet.

The drama began when a fan asked Tunde Ednut when he would purchase his own jet, like his friend Davido.

Tunde Ednut replied, saying he would do so after Wizkid buys his own, adding, “After Wizkid, by God’s grace.”

This isn’t the first time Tunde Ednut has sparked tension with Wizkid. In 2021, Tunde referred to Wizkid as his younger brother while praising him for a performance, which drew criticism from fans.

In a previous confrontation involving Davido, Wizkid had implied that Tunde needed deliverance and noted he doesn’t diss disabled individuals.

The jet discussion comes shortly after Davido celebrated his father, Dr. Deji Adeleke, purchasing a third private jet.

This follows a year after Davido himself bought a $75 million private jet and recently held a lavish wedding in Miami.

Netizens Reactions…

@temi. herself reacted: “Wizzy lives rent free for una head cos wetin bring him name to this conversation.”

@ikay_kollyns said: “Stray bullet for nak person wey dey one side, dey smoke Igbo”

@nenejones_esq commented: “Shebi, he has started looking for trouble now. Popsy will soon drop one for the road.”

@ama_nanya_ said: “If Wizkid insults him 2 years for this statement, una go dey vex. But Wizkid dey his own, this headnut decided to call him out.”

@honeybaddiva stated: “Me patiently waiting for December or January till Wizkid will fire back at una wey don use am catch cruise o. Cos baba dey write songs for now.”

@ebychytoo said: “If Wizkid face am now, dem go dey Wizkid too do.”

@thobbiey reacted: “Agbaya”
