Mr. El-Bonga

In that aspect, he really tries. There is no doubt. Unfortunately, leadership has many prisms to measure from. Even though he is a good candidate in his own right, we prefer Mallam 😎

Gaskiya kam Allah sene 😂 Grandpa @TahaAdam_ shame us please, score some goals even with the help of the ref.

There was a time in secondary school when we sat for an Olympiad examination at the School for the Gifted in Gwagwalada. A few of us were nominated from my school. Those questions looked as though they had been imported from heaven. When we came out, some of my friends were busy re-solving the questions. Whenever they arrived at an answer and asked for mine, I would insist that I had arrived at the same answer, even though I knew very well that I would fail woefully. In the end, we never knew the results, but I doubt mine was anything to write home about. Perhaps my good friends and competitors fared better, particularly Dr. Zaidat, now in the US; Dr. Ademola, who transitioned from medicine to climate action advocacy and now journalism; and my closest friend and seatmate, Sadiq, who has been in Europe since 2009.

Madaki short kawai all the time sai kace wani Lampard 🤣 Meanwhile, Grandpa @TahaAdam_ I have never seen you score a goal o!

Gombe State Governor recently claimed that @ProfIsaPantami benefited immensely from the APC, first as Director-General of NITDA and later as Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, yet never appeared on any campaign podium or participated in any electioneering process to canvass votes for the party. However, this footage tells a different story. It shows Pantami arriving in Gombe alongside President Tinubu and other APC leaders in 2023. He even mounted the campaign podium and openly urged the people to vote for President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and re-elect Governor Inuwa Yahaya

They have done interview. They will surely call before the year runs out.

With the new INEC package as announced by the INEC Boss himself, it’s better than lecturing.

This is below the belt. If you go to Makka more often, at least from what people tell us, you’ll see elderly people doing tawaf and other acts of worship comfortably.

This is a very good development in Nigeria. We are gradually getting there little by little.

There was a time some scholars of his age group followed him all the way to his town to debate and debunk some of his takes. Some of his colleagues said he never went to Azhar that he’s claiming to attend. He is too bitter.

There should be a licence for someone to stand before thousands to preach, teach or lecture people. Even in Saudi Arabia, they do that. We have been seen a proliferation of young extremists preaching hate-filled, malignant messages capable of inciting violence and hatred. Just like you can’t teach without certain qualifications, we need some form of regulations. People call others infidels and condemn some to hell at will.

There is a serious need to regulate preaching in this country before some of these hot-headed extremists burn this country to ashes. This young “Sheikh” is infamously known for violent preachings and hate-filled ideologies.

INEC has cleared @ProfIsaPantami to contest in the 2027 governorship election in Gombe. The massive celebrations in Gombe tonight have been massive, almost as though victory at the polls has already been secured. One thing I admire about Mallam is that he never gives up on a cause he firmly believes in. The political establishment in Gombe has always preached the gospel that Mallam lacks political roots or influential bigwigs to stand behind him. Yet, they have been fighting tooth and nail from day one to ensure he never makes it onto the ballot. If this man is as inconsequential as you claim, why are you fighting relentlessly to keep him off the ballot? Why not simply go to the field and test the waters? The political momentum Pantami has built in Gombe remains remarkable and widespread. The intensity of the opposition to his candidacy raises a question: why work so hard to keep someone off the ballot if you believe he poses no serious challenge?

Whether you know someone or not, and whether you are 40, if you meet the requirements for the EFCC recruitment, give it your best shot. If you make it through the shortlisting stage and are invited for a test, give it your very best. In a few months, many people will come out to say they got the job on merit. Don’t follow the path of those who preach doom without even putting up a fight. Give yourself a chance.

This is a very commendable move. Most governors have openly confessed that Tinubu has given them so much money. Sometimes people forget about their governors and concentrate on the president. Let them show what they’ve been doing with the money.

This particular project, if completed, could arguably surpass many of the projects the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) has undertaken since its inception. While the NEDC is busy distributing locally made rubber prayer mats to schools and Tsangayas with its logo boldly emblazoned on it, its counterpart—a newly established regional organisation—is talking about $100m gas pipeline project. The South-West Development Commission wants to establish rail lines connecting its member states, while the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority plans to construct seven dams to boost irrigation and agricultural production in the region. Hold your regional development commissions accountable. What exactly are they doing with the money the Federal Government allocates to them?
