Celine Dion battled infertility for 7 years. She lost her husband then her brother to cancer in the same month. She overcame these tragedies only to be diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, an incurable disease that affects one in a million people. No one should suffer this much
Celine Dion has been diagnosed with a neurological disorder that ultimately leaves sufferers as human statues as it progressively locks the body into rigid positions, leaving people unable to walk or talk. This is so sad 💔

The time I attempted to build a house in Lagos, the land grabbers (Omo Onile) that held us ransom, were not Igbo or Hausa but Yoruba, speaking the same language as me. They also extort fellow Yorubas through NURTW. But when it's election time, they quickly remember Yoruba unity

A Benue man (Atta Achief) defeated two indigenous Lagosians (Banky W and Jide Obanikoro) in Eti Osa. A Yoruba woman (Ireti Kingibe) is in pole position to win the only senatorial seat in Abuja. Is Nigeria rising above tribalism gradually or is it just the Obi phenomenon at work?

My friend has lived in Ketu for 37 years. He was born there & married there. Today he went to vote at a polling unit at Shangisha near Magodo junction and he was chased away by young guys with canes who said he’s Igbo and was anti-APC. This dangerous path we are treading

3/5 However, I wish we could focus on more important issues. Like how we can address the housing deficit in Lagos, how do we tackle traffic congestion and hooliganism. How do we ensure better transparency in govt? How can we expand the tax net while cutting double taxation?

Mr Sylvester Oromoni cried as he told me that his youngest son & name sake, a student of Dowen College would've been 12 years tomorrow Dec 4. He says Sylvester wanted to be a pilot. He bought a cake to celebrate his son who would not be alive to eat it. Sad #Justiceforsylvester

For clarity, the $25,000 wasn’t just for the Sierra Leonan passport alone but that was what he spent on getting a new life for himself & changing identity

In 2014 Festus Keyamo wrote a letter to police, accusing Tompolo of planning to kill him. Activists rallied around Keyamo and warned Jonathan to caution his boy, Tompolo. Around that time Tinubu also accused Jonathan of surrendering his govt to Tompolo. Time changes yesterday

@icpcnigeria I’m so happy you mentioned the name of the bank. Most media houses in Nigeria won’t mention their name. They will write “a new generation bank”

Lagos IGR rose by over 800% on Tinubu’s watch. The govt attributes this to Alpha Beta consulting. 8 states hired Alpha Beta including Sokoto, Kano, Plateau & Nasarawa but the magic couldn’t be replicated. You cant compete with a state where all banks & oil firms are headquartered

This was the topic for Open Heaven on Tuesday. And on the same day, Pastor Adeboye lost his son. This is very depressing. May God console his family. This is too painful.

4/5 These are the issues that should dominate political discourse. How qualified is Gbadebo? Has Sanwo-Olu done enough to get a second term? Stay on the issue just like how we were advised when people were focusing on Muslim/Muslim ticket, zoning and other perfunctory issues.

It’s not about Arise TV. Tinubu also didn’t attend Kadariah Ahmed’s townhall which even President Buhari and Osinbajo attended in 2019. He was also absent from the one organized by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce as well as that of Lagos Business School alumni.

@ZainAsher @AjuriNgelale @OneWorldCNN @ZainAsher the lady who was attacked in the eye was attacked in Lagos and not the southeast. She was visited by the PDP governorship candidate, Jandor, after the poll. Clearly Ajuri Ngelale wasn’t being completely truthful

This new APC strategy is amusing. They give Buhari credit for laudable projects like 2nd Nigeria bridge but attribute his failures to a cabal. They attack Buhari’s appointees but absolve him of blame as if he’s not in charge. Buhari is portrayed as a helpless commander in chief

Again, I ask. What does "be grateful to your host in Lagos" mean? So let's assume I'm from Anambra State but I've lived all my life in Lagos and I own a home on Banana Island and I'm the MD of an oil company. Who is my host in Lagos? My next door neighbour that is Yoruba?

Wow. ThisDay actually drew parallels between Noriega’s rise and the Tinubu drug fiasco. This will be an interesting campaign. There will be outright war between TVC and Arise as well as The Nation and ThisDay newspapers as campaigns heat up.

Nigeria is a lawless country that's why courts can be on strike for nearly 2 months and the country will continue to operate normally. Abnormal is normal here

Dangote is given unfair advantage though. While trucks queue for a week and have to pay bribe of N100,000 to gain access into Tincan and Apapa ports, Dangote and BUA trucks are given automatic entry due to orders from above. Even when borders were closed, they were allowed access
