As a father of 3, 1 boy & 2 girls, I was devastated to receive the shocking news of the death of 14yr old Nihal (the daughter of LABANYA(Mrs) 🧕👩🏻🎓💰💍👨👩👧👦) due to bullying in her school, St Louis Secondary School. Watching her mother narrative the story really broke me. Justice must be done!

This evening, I received the heartbreaking news of yet another victim of the worsening insecurity in Kawo Ward, Kontagora Local Government Area. The victim, Aliyu Alarama, is not just another statistic. He is one of us—a dedicated Local Government Coordinator of the Rise Up Nigeria Movement RiseUp Nigeria and a patriotic young man who believes in a better future for our country. Aliyu left home, like millions of hardworking Nigerians, simply to earn an honest living. He had just begun operating his tractor on a farm when armed bandits reportedly emerged and attacked. In a desperate bid to survive, he climbed a tree, hoping to escape. According to accounts I received, the attackers pursued him, shot him in the head, brought him down, and forced him to record a video message to his family, threatening him as they demanded he tell his loved ones he was in their custody. This is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. As I write this, Aliyu is reportedly still in captivity, and his condition remains unknown. We have also been informed that one of his brothers has gone into the bush in the hope of finding him. We pray for his safety as well. Ya Allah, in Your infinite mercy, protect Aliyu, grant him strength, and bring him home safely to his family. Guide and protect everyone involved in the efforts to secure his release. How many more innocent Nigerians must live in fear simply for trying to earn an honest living? How many more families must endure this pain before decisive action is taken to end this insecurity? We cannot allow this to become our new normal. We believe Nigeria can be safer, stronger, and better. As young patriots, we will continue to raise our voices and demand accountable leadership, effective security, and a nation where every citizen can live and work without fear. Please join us in praying for Aliyu Alarama’s safe return. Rise Up Nigeria

For the last time, let me address some data boys who keep talking about a so called “House of Reps version” of the tax bill, as if its separate from that of Senate and the harmonised version, they are either ignorant of how this particular bill was passed or are deliberately misleading the public! Yes, under normal circumstances, a bill is debated independently on the floors of the House of Representatives and the Senate. That is the standard legislative procedure that the data boys keep explaining. But the tax bill did not follow that route, precisely because of how sensitive, heated, and contentious it was. In this case, the leadership of the National Assembly adopted an unusual but deliberate approach. 40 senators and 40 members of the House of Representatives were nominated, with each state represented by one senator and one rep member, minimum. These 80 lawmakers spent a full week at the Hilton Hotel, with logistics sponsored by FIRS, jointly harmonising the tax bill line by line. At the end of that exercise, there were no parallel House or Senate versions. Both chambers were presented with the same single, harmonised tax bill. That identical document was laid before the House of Representatives and the Senate, debated, and passed by both chambers. This was the version transmitted to the president and subsequently assented to. Traditionally, harmonisation comes after each chamber has passed its own version. That did not happen here. Lawmakers worked together from the outset to produce one unified bill, and that is what was approved. There is no “House version” separate from that of the Senate, in this case. It simply does not exist. The real issue is that this harmonised version, the one passed by both chambers and signed by the president, is not what appeared in the gazetted copy made public. That gazetted version contains alterations that were never approved by the National Assembly. On Thursday, 18 December 2025, after Hon. Abdulsamad Dasuki raised the alarm on the floor of the House. The speaker announced the setting up of a committee and gave it one week to report. On the surface, this sounded reasonable. In reality, it was a convenient way of pushing the issue under the carpet. The National Assembly proceeds on its end of year break tomorrow, Tuesday, with the committee’s report due next Thursday, which is after they've gone on break. By the time lawmakers reconvene in January, the tax law would already be in force, and the opportunity for meaningful legislative correction would have slipped away. What is most telling is the silence from the presidency and from Taiwo Oyedele and his team. They have chosen not to address this issue at all, not because it is insignificant, but because they do not want to go on record. If no forgery occurred, setting the record straight should be straightforward. They have done so before on issues far less serious than this. Sections 4 and 58 of the Constitution vest law-making power solely in the National Assembly. Any provision inserted, removed, or altered after passage is unconstitutional, void, unenforceable, and constitutes a clear breach of the separation of powers doctrine! This issue will not be swept under the carpet, and no one will succeed in shutting people up! Listen to Hon Falake on the harmonization issue!

Woke up to this madness by Abba Rusau, this really breaks my heart. What justifiable reason is there to demolish this monument that has become the symbol of Kano? If this is the madness that he intends to oversee as Gov, then Allah wadai da mulkin ka! Mulkin ka ba alheri bane.

N607 billion was allocated to states in June, and N444 billion to local governments. That's over a trillion naira in 1 month. While we focus on the FG, our attention should also be on state governors, as they oversee local government funds. This is why we need full LG autonomy.
