More than a decade after leaving the White House, Barack Obama continues to receive around-the-clock security protection. Although his presidency ended in January 2017, the security responsibilities associated with serving as commander in chief extend far beyond a president’s time in office. Under federal law, former U.S. presidents and their spouses are entitled to lifetime protection from the Secret Service. This includes armed security personnel, protective arrangements during travel, and coordinated safety measures at public appearances. These precautions remain necessary because of the potential threats associated with their former positions and continued public visibility. It’s a reminder that leaving the presidency doesn’t mean leaving every aspect of the job behind. The authority of the office may end, but the security risks and protective measures can last a lifetime.

If Tinubu is not making efforts to ease insecurity they'd call him out. Now, US to interven towards curbing insecurity, then it's abnormal right? I'm confuse, most Nigerians out of sentiment and bigotry are killing the country for political gains. What do they want?
Replying to @NigeriaStories
They will never accept because they have bewitched their followers with tribal, religion and party sentiments. We will chase him out of Aso rock come 2027

Today, I returned to my country home in Ikire, Irewole Local Government, to an overwhelming reception from our people, whose show of love, solidarity and unwavering commitment to our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), was deeply encouraging. From Naira and Kobo Junction through Ita-Merin, Abata, Oja Ale, Popo, Sango and Laakosin, to the Ikire Central Mosque, the enthusiasm of our people was evident at every point. I was particularly delighted to join our people for the Jumat prayers at the Central Mosque, and as well attended the general meeting of our great party in Irewole Local Government. I sincerely appreciate our leaders, party faithful, supporters and residents for the warm reception and continued show of confidence. Your loyalty and commitment to our party are deeply appreciated. As we approach the 2027 general elections, I urge everyone to sustain this momentum through grassroots mobilisation and collective efforts towards securing victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and all APC candidates. The re-election of Mr President is non-negotiable. It is a task we must jointly accomplished.

There's one due accolade that hasn't been awarded and no one is saying anything about it. Imagine serving as Nigeria's sitting president and you didn't experience ASUU/ASUP strike for 4 years. Should we say nelfund or quick interventions aided this? A round of applause, pls

A LAWYER’S DUTY OF RESPECT DOES NOT END AT THE COURTROOM DOOR Yesterday, my attention was drawn to insulting remarks directed at a judicial officer by Kalu Kalu, Esq. during the 11 November 2026 edition of Politics Today, hosted by Seun Okinbaloye. I have since obtained and watched a recording of the programme. On behalf of the Nigerian Bar Association, I condemn the use of such language unequivocally. A lawyer’s disagreement with a judicial decision, however strongly held, cannot excuse personal abuse of the judge who delivered it. Neither the intensity of a political controversy nor the platform on which a lawyer speaks relieves that lawyer of professional responsibility. Lawyers have every right to examine judgments, challenge their reasoning and expose errors. Indeed, rigorous criticism contributes to the development of the law and the administration of justice. Judges are accountable for their exercise of judicial power, and the NBA will continue to insist on that accountability. However, personal insults do nothing to establish that a judgment is wrong. They offer the public no legal analysis and provide no remedy for an aggrieved litigant. Instead, they diminish the quality of public debate and bring our profession into disrepute. The Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners, 2023 require lawyers to maintain high standards of professional conduct and to treat the courts with respect, dignity and honour. They also provide for complaints against judicial officers to be made to the appropriate authorities. These obligations cannot be put aside when a lawyer steps into a television studio. Our professional standing gives our words particular weight. Members of the public are entitled to expect that a lawyer discussing a judgment will help them understand the issues, the reasoning and the available remedies. That standing carries a responsibility to exercise judgment and restraint, especially when passions are high. Accordingly, I have forwarded a formal petition, together with the relevant broadcast material (which is also attached to this statement), to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee for consideration in accordance with the applicable procedure. Mr. Kalu Kalu will be entitled to respond. Whether professional misconduct has occurred and what sanction, if any, is appropriate will be matters for the Committee to determine. Respect for due process does not, however, require the NBA to remain silent about language that falls below the standards we expect of our members. The Bar must be able to demand accountability from the Bench and insist on discipline within its own ranks. Our credibility depends on our willingness to do both. I urge every member of our profession to take this responsibility seriously. We can speak firmly, disagree profoundly and challenge judicial decisions with all the force that the law permits. But we must also remember that the manner in which we do so teaches the public something about the profession we represent. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN FCIArb President, Nigerian Bar Association

In 1902, Spanish guitarist and composer Francisco Tárrega created Gran Vals, a classical guitar piece containing a melody that would eventually become one of the most recognizable sounds in the world. Widely regarded as a pioneer of modern classical guitar, Tárrega drew inspiration from Frédéric Chopin’s Grande Valse Brillante, never imagining that his composition would become famous more than a century later. In 1992, Nokia featured a short section of Gran Vals in a television advertisement before introducing it as a ringtone on the Nokia 2110 in 1994. Initially called “Grande Valse,” the melody was eventually renamed the “Nokia Tune.” At the height of Nokia’s popularity, the ringtone reportedly played an astonishing 1.8 billion times daily, transforming a simple classical guitar melody into one of the defining sounds of the mobile phone generation.

Under his leadership, the company isn't merely responding to change, it is shaping it. In an era defined by energy transition, shifting markets & evolving global demands, Engr. @BBOjulari has positioned @nnpclimited not as a follower of trends, but as a driver of transformation.

I received the Award for Outstanding Support of the Arts and Creative Industry at the opening night gala of the Lagos International Theatre Festival (LITF). Supporting the creative industry means doing more than celebrating talent. We are investing in the spaces, infrastructure and skills that allow creative people to develop their craft and take their work to wider audiences. This is a commitment we remain focused on in Lagos, creating an enabling environment where creativity can translate into jobs, businesses and lasting economic opportunities for our people. My appreciation goes to Bolanle Austen-Peters, convener of the Lagos International Theatre Festival and all the practitioners who continue to push boundaries, tell our stories and keep the industry growing. The creative industry is an important part of our economy and we will continue to create opportunities for it to grow and reach even greater heights.
