Use Kogi World-Class Hospital you built.
~EFCC Opposes Ex-Governor Yahaya Bello’s bid to travel abroad for medical treatment.

Yahaya Bello, in his fresh application, is seeking to travel out of Nigeria for medical treatment amid his ongoing trial over an alleged ₦80.2billion money laundering scandal.

Yahaya Bello’s counsel, Joseph Daudu, SAN, had presented the application at a heated legal battle at the Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja, on Thursday, June 26th, 2025, asking for permission for his client to travel overseas on health grounds. Daudu said his client had not left Nigeria in over eight years and was now in need of urgent attention.

“This is about releasing his passport which he surrendered as part of his bail conditions. The issue is not whether there are hospitals in Nigeria, but whether the defendant is a flight risk. He has no criminal record abroad and will return before the end of August. My Lord can even fix a return date....."


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) kicked against the fresh application. EFCC’s lead prosecutor, Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, came down hard on the request:

"...And what are we talking about here? Low potassium? Mild hypertension? Those can be handled in any Nigerian hospital. If he needs potassium, let him eat banana and pawpaw..."

“From Abuja to Lokoja is two hours. He built a world-class hospital in Kogi. Let him use it instead of boarding a six-hour flight to the UK.”

Justice Emeka Nwite is expected to rule on the application at a later adjourned date.

*A Nigerian mother was lucky enough to see her 4 daughters get married the same year, so after each wedding she told them*

*"Dont forget to text me your first night experience and text it in code"*
*....... after a week, the 1st daughter texted;*

*"UNION BANK"*

*The mother looked at the UNION Bank motto and it read "Big, Strong and Reliable" She smiled and waited for the other daughter.*

*The second daughter text read;*

*"NESCAFE"*
*The mother looked at a Nescafe tin of milk and it read, "Fantastic until the last drop!"*

*The 3rd daughter text read,*

*"BENSON & HEDGES"*
*The mother went to her husband's pack of Benson & Hedges cigarettes and read the company motto, it read;*
*"Extra long, king size* "
*she was very impressed and said "not bad for their ages".*

*After the following week, the 4th daughter texted*

*ARIK AIR LAGOS TO ABUJA* ",

*The mother then called Arik Airways help desk to enquire about their Lagos-Abuja flight and they replied*

*"It's 4 times daily, 7days a week, and the flight duration is 45mins".*

*The mother fell down and shouted* .

*"igweeeeeeeee!!! This one will kill my daughter* ooooooooo!.........

Do have a great weekend.

The way this guy disconnected himself from Nollywood to a more better cause is a clear indication of someone who knows what he truly wants in life, he understood time and season, he would have probably not be an A-list actor if he had remained in today’s industry filled with mediocrity and bunch of talentless folks who chose drama over realness, and that could have ended his career. As a veteran, he paid his dues and took a bow to become a very important lawyer of note in Nigeria, today, he’s more prosperous than what he used to be in the film industry. So many veterans have worn out and d|ed because they lack vision, they wanted to remain in the industry forever without understanding that fame in Nigeria does not last forever. Today he is a great lawyer doing wonders. You’ll always salute him on sight because he’s worthy of emulation. This is an advice to all of you reading this, go back to school to improve yourself if you have to, so you don’t d|e small, no time is late. All hail the erudite Barr. Kenneth Okonkwo!!!

BREAKING: Kenyan Court Declares Nnamdi Kanu’s Abduction And Rendition To Nigeria Illegal, Awards ₦120Million In Damages

A High Court in Nairobi, Kenya, has ruled that the abduction and detention of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in Kenya and his subsequent rendition to Nigeria in June 2021 were unlawful and illegal.

Delivering judgment, Justice E.C. Mwita held that the actions of both the Kenyan and Nigerian governments amounted to gross violations of Kanu’s fundamental human rights as protected by their respective constitutions.



The court also awarded Kanu 10 million Kenyan shillings in compensatory damages against the Kenyan government for its role in the unlawful abduction and rendition.



Justice E.C. Mwita said, “Having considered the pleadings and arguments by parties, the decisions relied on, the Constitution and the law, I come to the following conclusions:



“First, the government of Kenya violated the Constitution and Mr. Nnamdi Kanu's rights and fundamental freedoms. Having entered Kenya lawfully he was subject to the protection offered by the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the government of Kenya had an obligation to uphold and protect his rights and fundamental freedoms.



“Mr. Nnamdi was, however, abducted, kept in solitude confinement, tortured and denied food and medication, a breach of basic rights. He was chained, humiliated, ridiculed and held in contempt and later forcibly removed from Kenya without following the law in violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms for which the government of Kenya is liable.



“Based on the above conclusions, the court makes the following declarations and orders it considers appropriate: A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu Kanu; holding him in incommunicado confinement, torturing him and denying him food, water, medication and other basic necessities was a violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms.



“A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction and subsequent forcible removal of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria was in violation of the laws of Kenya; his rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of movement and security of the person guaranteed by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and, therefore, unconstitutional and illegal.



“An order for compensation is hereby issued awarding Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu general damages of Kshs 10,000,000 (N119,546,576.79) against the Attorney General of Kenya on behalf of the government of Kenya for the violation of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu's constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms.”

Nigeria has happened to Peter Obi and his brother in Lagos .

Peter Obi wrote -

Any society where lawlessness overrides the rule of law is not destined to be a haven for investors. Recent reports showing that Nigeria’s human rights indicators have worsened merely highlight severe shortfalls in government protection for civil liberties, personal security, and basic living standards.

I know what I have been going through as a person in abuse of my human rights just because I contested a Presidential election which I have legitimate rights to do. So I imagine what small business owners, regular citizens, and vulnerable communities face every day. If this level of lawlessness can happen to someone with a registered company and legitimate means, what hope does the ordinary Nigerian have?

This morning, my youngest brother called me frantically, informing me that a group of people had invaded his company property in Ikeja, Lagos, and were demolishing the building. He had just come in from Port Harcourt and was denied entry to the property by security men who told him the building was being pulled down. They even informed him that this demolition had started over the weekend. As a peace-loving Nigerian, he quickly started processing to go to court immediately, not knowing what must have resulted in this, as they moved fast to destroy his home without any restraint.

I rushed to Lagos from Abuja after the call this morning and headed straight to the property. On arrival, I was met by security people who tried to bar me from entering the property. I humbly pleaded with them that the property belonged to my brother’s company, and from the records, the company had owned the property for over a decade. They told me they had a court judgment, and I immediately requested it. You would not believe that the court judgment they claim was issued against an unknown person, and squatters. I went further to ask about a demolition order or permit, and there was none.

How do you sue an unknown person? How does a court issue a judgment in such a farce of a case? No one was served. No name was written. Yet they showed up with excavators and began destroying a structure that had stood for over 15 years.

I immediately asked the excavators for the person who had sent them, and they said they didn’t know anyone, but they were only informed to come and demolish the house. I immediately told them to tell whoever it is that I would like to speak with them, if they can call my number, which I shared with the excavators, so that I can speak with whomever gave them the order to demolish the property.
I stood there from 10am to 2pm, waiting to get a call at least and nobody called or came. The contractor even said he didn’t know who sent him. Two men later came and said they would like us to go to a police station. I asked if they even had a demolition order but they had nothing. The whole situation screamed of coordinated lawlessness and impunity. Our country has become lawless.

I just started reminiscing about how just over the weekend, I had a meeting when someone told me how he has investments in Ghana, Senegal, and the Benin Republic, but won’t touch Nigeria despite his market being here. I asked him why. His answer was piercing: “Nigeria is a lawless country. Until we have laws that protect people, nobody will invest in Nigeria.”

I am just shocked. How did Nigeria get to this level of lawlessness?
What kind of country are we trying to build when the rights of citizens, their lives, their properties, and their voices are trampled upon daily?

I remain committed to a better Nigeria where lawlessness will be a thing of the past, protection of life and property, respect for human rights, care for the less privileged, and basic education for all children.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Zenith Bank's CEO, Adaora Umeoji, spent about N3.3 billion to purchase 68.8 million units of Zenith Bank, according to the bank's disclosure today on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Before her recent investment, she owned about 90.2 million shares of Zenith Bank, with an additional 1.7 million indirect units, all worth N4.32 billion.

For Adaora, this move is more than an investment; it is a vote in the future of the bank that she leads as the CEO, a bank that she joined as a corper in 1998.

She was the highest-paid employee in the Nigerian banking industry for the year 2024.

She earned N874 million in 2024. So, she makes money from both ways in Zenith Bank, her income from the salary the bank pays her and her dividend earnings from her investment and the shares she has in the bank.

A reminder that you can be a billionaire and your life can change as a 9-to-5 in Nigeria.

Women are really achieving great things.

Nnamdi Kanu's court case is concluded but as we are patiently awaiting the judicial verdict and not a political supremacist advantage, it is important that we remind you that the IPOB leader is still languishing in DSS custody for no just cause.

Fulani terrorists are roaming about k!lling innocent citizens in Nigeria and none of them is standing trial in any Nigerian court today. But Nnamdi Kanu, an innocent man who saw the doom while it was still pending and revealed it to his people for caution was arrested, attempted to be mỤ®dered but luckily escaped before he was abducted in Kenya and currently facing trial in the country. This is to say that terrorists have the will power to roam about in Nigeria and kill Nigerians but a potential savior of Nigerians has no authority to save the people.
Enugu State is bleeding while Benue State is soaked in the blood of it's own people buried in the ashes. These are the things Nnamdi Kanu warned but no one cared to listen.
May the law take it's cause in Nnamdi Kanu's case and deal with everyone involved in his unlawful detention and trial.

IS NIGERIA WORTH DIEING FOR ?

She Kept Sending Voice Notes… But He Was Already Gone.

Esther Uduak, just 24, married her best friend, lance corporal Bassey, 2 years after his passing-out parade from Nigerian army Depot zaria. Their love was young, loud, and full of promise. They texted like teenagers. Called each other “babe” every ten minutes. He made her laugh even from the war front.

When Bassey was deployed to Gwoza, Borno State, Esther made a simple vow:

“No matter how far you go, I’ll talk to you every Friday night.”

So she did. Through voice notes. Every week.

“Baby, Iniobong now has two teeth. She looks so much like you when she smiles.”

“I made your afang soup today and just cried. It doesn’t taste the same without you here.”

“The bed feels colder. Even the baby keeps turning, as if looking for you in her sleep.”

But what Esther didn’t know was this: Bassey had already died in combat.
An ambush.
A silent night.
No chance to say goodbye.

The military needed time for confirmation. So, for weeks, no one told her.

But she kept sending the voice notes. Eleven of them in total.

Sometimes pleading.
Sometimes angry.
Sometimes whispering his name like a prayer.

“You dey vex for me? At least just reply. Or call me with another phone na. I’m tired, Bassey. Just say something... anything.”

The ticks never turned blue. But she hoped. She believed. After all, soldiers don’t die like that, right?

Then on a quiet Sunday morning at 6:43 AM, two soldiers knocked, They said...
“Madam… lance corporal Bassey fell in the line of duty on February 17th. He was a brave man. We’re truly sorry.”

Esther dropped to her knees, screaming so loud the baby woke up crying too.

She played all 11 voice notes that night
Alone.

To a phone that would never ring back.

Her last one was never even sent:

“Iniobong called you ‘Daddy’ today. I cried. Not because I’m happy… but because I don’t know how to tell her that you’re not coming home.”

Now, every Friday, she still records a voice note.

But now… she doesn’t send them.
She plays them to his photo on the wall, next to the flag, next to his boots, still muddy from his last patrol.

“Rest well, Bassey. You are my hero. Our daughter will never forget your name.”

"I retired from The Nigeria Police in Oct 1, 2023 and they never paid anything to me since then. Two weeks ago, they called me that they would pay me N3million. N1million is for my arrears from the time I retired while N2million is my entitlement. I cannot serve this country for 35 years and be paid N2million. Please let the IG hear this. I was a superintendent of Police. I will not collect that money. N2million will not make me a rich man"
