When we talk about longevity in football, we mostly mention Cristiano Ronaldo and rightly so. But right here in Nigeria, we have our own incredible example in my club, Kano Pillars. Rabiu Ali, popularly known as Pele, is 45 years old and the man has just scored in his 20th season for Kano Pillars! 🤯⚽ Twenty seasons representing the club at the highest level is extraordinary. At an age when most players have long retired, Rabiu Ali is still putting the ball in the net and showing that experience and passion can keep you going. A true Kano Pillars legend. 🐘 💚💛

A young man from Roni LGA, Jigawa State, alleged that the Local Government Chairman refused to assist him with ₦250,000, which he was needed to secure a military job. In frustration, he tore down the Chairman's banner, alleging that the Chairman would spend more than that amount on women. CC: @AbbaM_Abiyos

"No gree for anybody o!" "If I were a bandit, you wouldn't be standing here," she fired back. A Hausa/Fulani woman stood up for her dignity after security operatives ordered everyone to come out for a search. When one of the officers allegedly said, "That one is Yoruba, not Fulani. Don't search her," she perceived the remark as disrespectful and responded by defending both her dignity and that of her community.

Discipline is quiet. Preparation is invisible. Results make the noise. For God and Country 🪖⚓🇳🇬 #ThankASoldier

BREAKING: Dr. Nisa’i, the lecturer who was beaten black and blue by his students’ husband and friends, told Freedom Radio that he filed the case with the relevant security agency which eventually transferred it to the State CID, Dr. Nisa’i confirmed that both the husband and the wife are being arrested, and the matter is under investigation. This is what I wished, and I pray that the both the woman, husband, and all hands involved will starkly regret their evil acts and reap the worst in accordance.

Indeed, we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. 😭 Here is the statement from the husband of the woman who was killed and burned over allegations of child kidnapping in Maraban Jos. People should stop rushing to judge or accuse others without a thorough investigation. Justice and due process are the proper way forward. O Allah, forgive her, have mercy on her, and pardon her shortcomings. May Allah forgive her and envelop her in His mercy. 😢😢🤲

“Any day I’m on duty as a Nigerian police officer, let anyone record me. That person will provide the officer who gave them the order to be filming us, because I will clear everybody down" – Man suspected to be a personnel says

Dear Nigerian security operatives, This revealation by Musa Kamarawa is a golden opportunity to finally get to the bottom of the disappearance and alleged killing of Dadiyata. Musa Muhammad Kamarawa, who served as an SSA to a former governor, has now made a very weighty claim publicly, alleging that Dadiyata was killed in his presence. Such a statement cannot be ignored, brushed aside, or treated as ordinary political talk. It demands a thorough, transparent, and independent investigation. For years, the Dadiyata case has remained one of the most painful and controversial unresolved cases in Nigeria. Families, friends, supporters, and many Nigerians have continued to seek answers. This is why security agencies must seize this moment to establish the truth once and for all. Sadly, some individuals such as Reno Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode who often amplified Dadiyata’s case for political convenience may choose to remain silent now that a direct allegation has emerged. But I believe that many Nigerians will not stay silent. The goal should not be politics or propaganda. The goal should be justice, clarity, and closure. If crimes were committed, those responsible must face justice. If some people were wrongly accused over the years, they also deserve to be cleared publicly. Nigeria deserves the truth about Dadiyata.

1. When the government of @dikko_radda came on board, Katsina state is grappling with a severe manpower shortage in the health sector. The then outgoing commissioner of health lamented how “despite a booming population of more than 10 million residents, Katsina state has only about a 100 doctors serving the state.” That’s a ratio of about 1 doctor to 100,000 individuals. 2. Not long into office, the governor was made to understand the severe shortage in ALL cadre of healthcare workers in the state. He PROMISED to employ more personnel and equip the health facilities. 3. Adverts for employment into the state civil service came out at least three times, especially for Doctors. However, not up 10 doctors take up appointments. The governor lamented the dismal number of doctors who took up his offer in a subsequent interview he granted to a TV station. 4. The NMA,i.e association of doctors in the state, have been working assiduously to highlight the chronic shortage of doctors and other health professionals in the state; and the impending collapse of the system if action is not taken. 5. Amongst the factors identified for the lack of interest to join the state workforce is the issue of pay. The state is one of the few states where the newly adopted salary scale for medical doctors(Full CONMESS) is not yet implemented. This left a huge gap between what the state is paying doctors and what other states are paying. Logically, the state cannot attract more workforce. 6. Also, due to the reality of low pay, manpower shortages, lack of equipments, and professional development, there is an internal migration of the state workforce to the federal institutions within the state. FTK Katsina, FMC Daura, Federal Fistula Center, Airforce Hospital, etc., are all poaching workers from the state. 7. The NMA has been on the forefront of calling attention of the government to the reality of healthcare in Katsina, however, nothing much is forthcoming. 8. While the state government is busy with other issues, the health care system in the state is heading to a crisis of profound distress. 9. The few remaining healthcare workers in the state are currently working under an environment that is grappling with low productivity courtesy of diminishing motivation, toxic workplace, and a persistent unavoidable loss of lives. 10. We call on the attention of the government to please, as a matter of urgency, look into the issue of healthcare system in the state. Improve worker’s salaries, introduce welfare reforms, strengthen the system, implement Pay Parity btw the state and Federal Institutions, and generally prioritise the people’s lives and wellbeing. Thank you.

These rallies in Kaduna North are impossible to ignore. Thousands are turning out for Abdulaziz Kaka, not the sitting representative, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai. So let us be direct: Does Bello deserve a second term? He has held the seat for years now. What concrete achievements can he point to? Roads repaired? Jobs created? Hospitals equipped? Or has he simply relied on his father’s name while the constituency struggles? And yes, his father’s travails matter. Nasir El-Rufai left office amid fierce criticism and unfinished business. Voters are not fools; they remember. Will that baggage now weigh down the son? Or has Bello done enough on his own to escape it? The crowds have made their preference clear. If Bello cannot show real results, then he has no automatic right to another term. Performance, not pedigree, should decide this. Kaduna North, what do you say? Is it time for fresh leadership, or are you satisfied with the status quo? Speak up. @B_ELRUFAI

The former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, wanted to be president and they gave him a platform. When a crisis came in the LP and that was the time for him to show leadership, but he ran away. – Wike at today's PDP National Convention

Sentiment aside, is there any northern politician that’s as influential as Malam Nuhu Ribadu right now?
