Former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has criticized Davido, calling his warning to those relocating from America to Nigeria ‘disappointing and unpatriotic’.
He said selling out your country from foreign soil is so disappointing and unpatriotic. Public figures like Davido should know that. They should act and be seen as good ambassadors for Nigeria wherever they find themselves.

She said if your man isn’t posting you or letting people know that y’all are together it’s either he’s ch£ating or there are other women he wants.
There’s no such thing as “I don’t want drama” or “I don’t want people in our business”. Men love showing off their woman.

Evangelist Mike Bamiloye has revealed that some people have brought unnecessary c¥rses upon themselves by ins¥lting genuine men of God.
He said David the King didn’t have to c¥rse Michal his wife at all, when she despised him in her heart and ins¥lted him when he came back from dancing heartily in the presence of God.
2 Samuel 6:16 NKJV [16] Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
DAVID never c¥rsed her but she incurred an unnecessary c¥rse upon herself for touching the Lords anointed.
2 Samuel 6:23 NKJV [23] Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her de@th.

5m Nigerians will need to pay for the new national ID card because the government has limited revenue — NIMC
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced that Nigerians will need to pay for the new multipurpose national identity card, citing limited government revenue as the primary reason for the decision.
Speaking during a two-day roundtable for journalists in Lagos, Dr. Peter Iwegbu, Head of Card Management Services at NIMC, said, “The payment is to ensure that the card is produced for only those who need it.”
He explained that this approach aims to avoid repeating past mistakes where physical cards were issued for free, but many were left uncollected.
“In the previous attempt to issue free National ID cards, over two million cards were produced, and many of them have not been collected till date,” he noted.
Dr. Iwegbu further stated, “The government’s limited revenue is also a major factor in the decision to make Nigerians pay for the new ID card.”
Adding to this, the Director of Information Technology at NIMC, Mr. Lanre Yusuf, said, “The idea of a free national ID card did not turn out well in the past.” He described the new ID card as a post-paid identity card, emphasizing that individuals must need the card before initiating a request for it.
“To get the new national ID card, Nigerians will need to make a payment, select a pickup location, and then collect their card from the chosen location.
The government has implemented programs to make the card accessible to less privileged Nigerians who cannot afford it but require it to access government support. This initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to inclusivity and equality,” Yusuf explained. Yusuf revealed that the multipurpose ID cards are set to launch soon, with sample test cards already received. He added, “NIMC is working with banks across the country, which will make it possible for people to walk into any bank closest to them and request the card.”

A Canada-based medical doctor has alleged di§crimination by airline staff after being denied hotel accommodation due to her Nigerian passport.
She said took a flight from Winnipeg to Newcastle. Her flight got to Newcastle but was turned back to Paris. They were promised a hotel on getting there. They got there and everyone was offered a hotel including those without visa except her because she carried a Nigerian passport.
She caught the customer service agent whispering to some passengers that were without visa whom she was escorting to their hotel to lower their voices when they were asking questions about going to their hotel so she wouldn’t hear the conversation.
On a whole flight, she was singled out because of her green passport. She is a doctor working in the UK and permanent resident of the Canada. She is not a refugee but she is being treated as one. Her hand luggage was checked in so she has no supplies and can’t clean herself for two days because their flight was rescheduled for Saturday and this is Thursday. This is unfair.
