Na your papa be worthless fool. Have you ever been to Anambra? Do you know how many big businesses are in Onitsha alone ? Onitsha is better than the whole of Ekiti. You wey never comot from your papa house before
No mind the fool. All this stupid YORUBAs go make person dey feel say na so all Yoruba get cow brain. State wey no get functional Airport. Even the stupid mayor post few days ago say na power bank them dey rent to charge phone for Ekiti for 2026.
First of I'm not Igbo. If you don't see insults in that tweet then you must be very dull. The statistics is about states, how did mayor sneaked Peter Obi into the conversation? And calling him a fraud is not an insult? Cows get brain pass YORUBAs especially those supportig APC
You are being too fair, the Benin Central park looks better than the Benin Airport, it's an insult to modern bus parks sir. That Airport is ugly and need total renovation not just touches
Dear Governor Monday Okpebholo (Okpebs Baby, as you have accepted Ẹdo people to call you) Sir,
An MoU is a great move for state-owned or state-controlled airline to operate, bearing the Ẹdo image. Some other states have achieved this, so Ẹdo can too. Kudos on this first step.
But I do have a more pressing concern. The Ọba Akẹnzua II Airport, Benin, is the 3rd oldest Airport in Nigeria (built in 1956), just behind Kano (as number 1, built in 1936) and Lagos MMA (as second, built in 1940).
Some light touches were done in the 1970s to renovate the airport, but given the status of Benin in history and its enormous role in all of West Africa, plus its role in Nigeria culturally, economically, and politically, it will be great to see serious transformation of the Ọba Akẹnzua II Airport into an ultramodern air traffic facility. It looks more like a bus terminal, if I must be honest, and does not communicate what Ẹdo represents in the grand scheme of things, even across the African continent and the world at large.
Despite the look of the facility, the Ọba Akẹnzua II Airport ranks between 6/7 in daily air traffic amongst all of 20+ commercially operating airports in Nigeria.
This appeal goes further to request the attention of the FG through the office of the Honorable Minister of Aviation @fkeyamo, to have a look at this recommendation, even to the reasonable extent that the BNI should have an International Wing already. Apart from decongesting the already very busy MMA, the Ọba Akẹnzua II having an international wing will open direct access for cultural and social tourism, as much as global investment opportunities.
I humbly ask, on behalf of my Ẹdo people, that this consideration is given robust thoughts, with actions taken.
Thank you, Sirs.

See this useless boy😂😂😂, you wan compare Ekiti with Anambra? Ekiti wey them dey rent Jaza before them go fit charge phones for 2026. Abi no be you post am few days ago. Many of una wey be Yoruba cow better pass una

This is actually not true, can you tell me one thing the devil had done to you ? If there is any devil anywhere these politicians are the real devil. We just dey accuse bros D wrongly
APC has failed woefully, sharing 50k will not secure a second term for Tinubu come January.
You'll go to jail dead or alive don't worry
When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough.
When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.
Those experiences have stayed with me.
I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford.
This is one reason education remains a major priority of our Renewed Hope administration.
Through NELFUND, we have provided over ₦372 billion in student loans for institutional fees and upkeep, helping young Nigerians remain in school and pursue their education.
Our technical and vocational education programme has attracted over 2.8 million applications. We have rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, while students in federal and selected state technical colleges now benefit from free school fees, boarding, textbooks and uniforms.
We have reached a new agreement with ASUU, providing for a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration and measures to improve stability in our universities.
A four-year course must take four years. Our young people deserve to complete their education on time and get on with their lives. Promise made, Promise Kept
In medical education, we are investing ₦110 billion in rehabilitating 24 medical schools. Annual nursing enrolment has increased from 28,000 to 115,000, while medical and dental enrolment has risen from 5,000 to 12,000.
Nigeria needs more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and we must build the capacity to train them here at home.
Over one million children who were previously out of school have been returned to learning. We are investing in teacher development, expanding educational opportunities for girls, and implementing a new national curriculum that restores Nigerian History to our classrooms.
Our children must know where we have come from, understand the country they belong to, and be prepared to take responsibility for its future.
I commend the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, the Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad @Suwaiba_Said, and the entire education team @NigEducation for their dedication to this important work.
I am particularly pleased that the team has developed an interactive A–Z of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), bringing together the reforms, programmes, achievements and opportunities across our education system.
I invite every Nigerian to visit edu4pbat.ng and explore the A–Z of NESRI.
If you are a parent, find out what opportunities are available for your children. If you are a student, explore the programmes you can benefit from. If you are a teacher, see what support is available.
And if something is not working as it should in your community, I want to hear about it. Your feedback will help us identify problems and address them.
Our journey from reform to opportunities and shared prosperity must begin with education.
The circumstances of a child’s birth should never determine the limits of their ambition. Our responsibility is to give every Nigerian child a fair chance to fulfil their potential.
We have more work to do, and I am determined to see it through.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President

Court Jails Applewood Estate Suspect for Gift Card Fraud in Lagos
Justice Dipeolu of the Federal High Court, sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on October 30, 2026, convicted and sentenced one Hassan Usman Olamilekan for offences bordering on money laundering.
Olamilekan was convicted following his arraignment by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a one-count charge of money laundering, contrary to Section 18(2)(a) and punishable under Section 18(3) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
The count reads:
"That you, Hassan Usman Olamilekan, sometime in 2026 in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court indirectly disguised the origin of the sum of $800 (Eight Hundred United States Dollars) in gift cards, which sum forms part of the proceeds of your unlawful activity, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(2)(a) and punishable under Section 18(3) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022".
The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge.
Following his plea, the facts of the case were reviewed by an EFCC operative, Ebuka Abanga. The court subsequently found him guilty and convicted him accordingly.
Justice Dipeolu sentenced to a fine of N200,000 and ordered him to remit the sum of N1,000,000 (One Million Naira) to the Federal Government of Nigeria. He is to remain in the Correctional centre pending the payment of the fine and restitution.
The court also ordered the forfeiture of an iPhone 11 Pro and a Poco C71 mobile phone, being items recovered in connection with the offence.
Investigation revealed that Olamilekan, 18, who claimed to hail from the Republic of Benin but was born in Nigeria, was involved in lottery scams and operated several social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Zangi and iMessage.
He reportedly met his victim, one Gary Brewer, a United States citizen, through the Zangi application, where he impersonated a white American woman identified as Julie Leach.
Olamilekan told the victim that he had won a lottery prize of $250,000,000 and needed money to activate the winnings before he could claim the prize. He subsequently persuaded the victim to send him gift cards through the Zangi application.
The defendant admitted selling the gift cards through the Cardsonic application, converting them to Naira and transferring the proceeds to his grandmother’s OPay account. He confessed to benefiting from a total of $800 from the fraudulent scheme.
Olamilekan was among the 21 suspected internet fraudsters arrested by operatives of the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the EFCC during a sting operation at Applewood Estate, Orchid Road, Lekki, Lagos State, on October 26, 2026.
