When you hear about things happening in Nigeria, you’d be shocked. A woman gave birth to twins at the hospital & the doctor informed her that one of them didn’t make it out alive. She asked to see the baby still, but the doctor said baby is not in good shape, & they can’t show her because she just gave birth and it’s the hospital’s policy. Fast Forward, she found the supposed late baby with the doctor’s wife during immunisation classes months later. She checked and the baby looked exactly like her baby. She confronted the doctor later on and he wanted to return the baby but the wife refused. He had to stay on his wife’s side. The mother of the twins went to the police to report, but instead, she was the one locked up alongside her husband because the doctor and his wife knew people in the police that were in high positions. She asked for DNA and they said the police came back to say they can’t do any DNA till the child is 8 years old. She refused. The police then threatened her that if she keeps causing problems,they’ll put her in prison till the child is 8. In face, they made her sign an undertaking that she’ll not bother the doctor and his family. Many years later, the child is grown now, from the video I watched, the boy should be 8 years old (not sure). She is taking up the case again, but this doctor and his wife are refusing to do DNA. They transferred the case to Command in Abuja, the police can see the resemblance clearly, but this doctor took the case to FCID, which is bigger than Command. This woman has lost hope in the system and has now gone to VeryDarkMan, who is gonna take up the case now. How do you steal someone’s child as a medical practitioner?

Abia green shuttle services. Saw some of their new buses in Lagos this night. Good governance isnt really hard. Nigeria is just blessed with many unkind leaders. I pray we get it right someday.

@EkeneAninze Very sad story.

I wanted to make transfer this morning on my Opay and this first frame popped up on the app. Save N100k with Opay and get N1250 as in, one thousand, two hundred and fifty naira interest in a month. I quickly decided to check how much they charge per month if one borrows from their ocash. My limit is N26k, maybe because I've never borrowed before. Now guess the interest rate of their one N26k. N5,850 for a month. That means if I'm borrowing N100k I might be paying an interest fee of over N30k But if they keep my own money, N100k for the same one month they'll pay me interest of N1,250 for the same one month. Truly our government has really failed us. People just come here and exploit us

For a few years, @TechHerNG has run a GBV Emergency Response Fund that provides money for survivors within 24 hours of approval. Yesterday, we resourced surgery for a 4-year-old girl who was raped so violently that her bladder ruptured. A 4-year-old. Death to rapists everywhere.

Nigeria keeps saying it doesn’t have enough doctors. We have only about 50,000 doctors serving over 200 million people. That's 1 Doctor to over 4,000 patients. You'd expect every doctor willing to serve to be encouraged. Instead, one is detained after carrying out a menstrual hygiene outreach in Kaduna State. Another 238 young doctors who returned home to practise wake up to an unexplained increase in their induction fees from ₦265,000 to over ₦415,000. We cannot keep discouraging the very people we desperately need. I respectfully appeal to the @KadunaMOH, @GovKaduna, @WHONigeria, @NGRSenate, @NGRPresident, and @Fmohnigeria to ensure Dr Al-Amin regains his freedom, and to the @MDCNOfficial to review this new fee.

Hi @jidesanwoolu, @hanneymusawa I'm deeply disappointed in your @lirs_govng team hounding Selar in the name of claiming creator royalty taxes. I turn 30 in Oct and I've spent the last 10 years building Selar, so this is what the youth mean by policies being created to crush growing businesses. We are the pioneering and largest creator company in Nigeria (Africa actually), and instead of being supported by the government, the LIRS team is keen on trying to scapegoat us to set a precident. Beyond the huge numbers seen in the headlines, we are still a young company just trying to make our mark for the creator economy in a country where we've never been supported once, we're literally a bootstrapped company. In 2025 alone, we've fulfilled our tax obligation in almost 9 figures and we've never missed out on any of our tax obligation over the years. You can check the records. We are a software company, we make our ecommerce software available to our thousands of creators in not just Nigeria but 13 other African countries and for that, we earn a small commission of 4%, most of which goes to our payment provider. This is the same business as shopify, teachable, e.t.c There is no reason LIRS is hounding us for a backdated 5% royalty fee on all sales when we've clearly explained our line of business to them and shared everything to prove we are not a royalty based business. What they're asking us to do is raise our pricing to extort these funds from our creators which is odd considering our creators still pay taxes on their income. No creator company in the world charges as high as even 5%. Also, less payment gateway charges we get 1-3% max, so where do we pay backdated 5% fees from? The government would have to decide if it wants the Nigerian creative economy to grow or not. This conversation is important to me because we pioneered this industry of monetizing digital products online in Nigeria and today we host over 400k creators selling using our platform. This is an opportunity for the government to show it's committment to making Nigeria work for young Nigerians especially in the creator economy. Time and money we should be spending investing into our business and it's growth for the GDP of this nation is being spent in long back and forth. We can't catch up with the west if this is what we're facing at home. Above everything else, disputes like this are distracting from the real work. If anything, for all our CSR contributions to the education system in the country with our Smart Hustle Anti fraud initiative and our other efforts, we should be getting tax rebates, but we're not even asking for anything but to be left alone to build our business. Thank you.

A man supported a young boy today and it was nice to see. The boy didnt have enough money to buy things and wanted to drop an item. The man gave him enough to cover all and the boy spent only 200 naira from his money. Thats the Nigeria of my dream. Kindness.

We won’t forget.

Nothing happens overnight o. Neglect education for decades and eventually the invoice arrives. The next gen usually ends up paying it

They can not Fund our smart children to go for international Maths Olympiads but they can sponsor Hajj mass marriages!

You want people to take student loan to go to university then when they graduate, they should start roasting corn by the roadside to sell. A future of selling roadside corn is what these evil animals in power envisage for people in this country. Satanic olodo uprising in power.

IATA says Nigeria and Afghanistan are the two worst locations to open an Airline in the world. Afghanistan because it's a war zone and Nigeria for its 54 different taxes and hostile operating environment. Yet we complain about ticket prices and blame airlines.

@ARISEtv Same of the same

If religious leaders don’t want to speak up, that’s their choice. But please, don’t gaslight us with “Pray for Nigeria.” If prayer alone could save this country, we wouldn’t still be where we are today. Prayer is important, but so are accountability, action, and leadership.

The signs were there, all some silly peeps cared about was that he is a Yoruba man. Congrats to you all, hope you are buying gas at a lower rate than i am cos i never liked or rated your guy.

Nigerians are getting poorer every single day. No matter how hard you work you cant beat the shitty economy we currently have.

Getting paid to post crap and tell lies cos of loose change that cant feed you past a day is a different level of low.

Insecurity is the order of the day. Funny how some supporters of certain people still act like its cruise. Real people are dying, real people that cant ever come back and yet some supporters keep defending nonsense just cos of the stipend they get paid.

Domestic flights are now super expensive. Lagos to Abuja return ticket now in the range of 400k thereabts. How many people can afford that?
