"....there is no North Central state that Atiku Abubakar can defeat Mr. Peter Obi.”
Ibrahim Abdulkarim, Director-General of the NDC Presidential Campaign Council, says an alliance between Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso could help the party secure votes across northern Nigeria.

Nigerian soldiers are being paid peanuts as salaries, yet an APC youth leader is flaunting SUVs worth billions of naira. This is the same government that told Nigerians there was no longer money in the treasury. At this point, they must think we are fools!
Is this going to be epidemic @grok?

Nigeria has confirmed one imported case of #Ebola Bundibugyo virus disease in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), becoming the fifth country to detect the virus since an outbreak of the disease was declared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on 15 May 2026.
As per the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria (@Fmohnigeria):
▶️ The patient is a woman with a recent travel history to Uganda.
▶️ Her symptoms began on 7 October, four days after she arrived in Nigeria, and she sought care at a private health facility in Abuja on 11 October.
▶️ A laboratory test confirmed Bundibugyo virus on 20 October.
▶️ She is currently in isolation and receiving medical care.
▶️ Investigations are ongoing to establish the likely source of her infection and reconstruct her full travel and exposure history.
The ministry, so far, reports that 44 contacts have been identified and are being monitored. Contact tracing is also underway.
Rapid identification of cases, timely follow-up of contacts and effective infection prevention and control are critical to contain the spread of the virus.
WHO and partners are working with health authorities to strengthen efforts to stop the virus from spreading.
WHO urges all countries in the region to sustain a high level of readiness as the outbreak in the DRC continues to evolve.
WHO advises against any restriction of travel to, or trade with, affected countries, and continues to closely monitor and, where necessary, verify travel and trade measures in relation to this event.
WHO regularly reviews the latest information to update its assessment of the risks posed by the outbreak.

Nigeria confirmed an Ebola Bundibugyo case in Abuja today, after a woman who arrived from Uganda tested positive for the virus. Contact tracing and surveillance have begun.
Early signs are non-specific and mimic illnesses like malaria or typhoid, therefore, diagnosis requires specialized laboratory testing.
Early symptoms include fever, severe headache, extreme tiredness, fatigue, and weakness, muscle aches, joint pain, sore throat.

Umahi’s Diversion Admission Vindicates My Stand on Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road — Duke
There is no Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. What we have is a Lagos Coastal Highway that will never get to Calabar. Minister Umahi’s comment on the terrain has vindicated me. Roads can be built in places like Bayelsa, but the terrain makes it prohibitively expensive. This project, from Victoria Island to Epe, is simply a land grab.

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, Nigerians should be able to report accurately what public polling-unit result sheets show.
My letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)@inecnigeria, dated 12 October 2026, addresses a distinction I believe matters: formal declaration is INEC’s responsibility. Accurate reporting of records already in the public domain is a separate act.
I rely on Section 39(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, and Sections 25 and 124(4) of the Electoral Act 2026. My argument is not that anyone should declare results in INEC’s place. It is that publication and scrutiny should not be mistaken for formal declaration. The INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) makes this question concrete. If citizens, journalists, political parties and observers can view authentic polling-unit result sheets but cannot be sure whether they may discuss the figures or flag discrepancies, access risks becoming nominal rather than meaningful. Information about INEC results should be accurately sourced and open to public scrutiny.
I refer to a 1984 Lagos High Court decision, Nigeria Union of Journalists, FCT & 2 Ors. v. Inspector-General of Police, concerning the publication of results announced at polling centres. To my knowledge, that decision has not been appealed. I also point to the June 12, 1993 presidential election as an example of the value of public visibility.
There is a genuine trade-off: publishing too quickly without verification can be misleading. Accuracy comes first. But that is a reason for clear source labels and a transparent process for correcting discrepancies, not for leaving the public uncertain about what may be reported.
I have asked INEC to explain the steps needed to publish verified records within two hours of the close of polls or completion of counting, where feasible.
What does the 1984 case actually establish, and what practical publication timetable am I asking INEC to explain?
