Yesterday, I had to make a u-turn while heading to my barber's, on receiving reports of a valid threat of extreme violence from Saudi Airlines' Kano-bound passengers who were stranded in Abuja due bad weather in Kano. Some other airlines had also diverted to Abuja for the same reason. I stood amidst over 200 angry passengers, pacifying, reprimanding, and resolving. This is the most adrenaline-rushing part of my job. It requires tact, firmness, wisdom, and team work. But it is risky. Some passengers are extremely violent. A huge, hulk-like, and highly vexed passenger threatened to beat me up yesterday. I looked at him. Initially, I was angry. But I saw the worry in his eyes and decided to handle him differently. We became best friends and he has invited me to his Lagos residence. I will not go, sha. I must acknowledge the support of our Honourable Minister, Festus Keyamo SAN, who insisted that the rights of the passengers be prioritised. He continued to ask for updates on the welfare of passengers late into the night. I am proud of the efforts put in by my DGCA, Capt. Chris Najomo over this matter. To protect the rights of Nigerian passengers, he made a number of critical decisions that established the dignity of Nigerian passengers. I must also thank Ifueko Abdulmalik for her role in resolving this saga. She kept communications with the Saudi side open. How do you leave 401 passengers stranded and say you'd return to your country without having made alternative arrangements for their movements to final destination? While acknowledging the fact that it was tough for the airline as they have no operational base in Abuja, the entire saga could have been handled more professionally. I met with the Saudi ambassador to Nigeria and made it clear that the airline cannot operate with disregard for the consumer protection regulations. Much later last night, we were able to conclude arrangements with UMZA to fly the stranded passengers to Kano via three successive flights. My team and I waited through it all. I acknowledge also, the stoic efforts put in by the FAAN Regional General-Manager of the airport. He stood with me through the entire ordeal and showed courage in the face of the intimidation. Umza airlifted the passengers thus: The first Umza aircraft departed ABV for Kano with a total of 74+4 passengers on board. The second Umza aircraft also departed ABV for Kano with a total of 73+4 passengers on board. The third and final Umza aircraft departed with 34 passengers on board. In total, 181 + 8 passengers were airlifted to Kano. Saudi has made a commitment to compensate the affected passengers. This brings to an end, a disruption of almost 48 hours that began as force majeure, transitioned to poor passenger handling, and ended with a great display of effective team work from the Minister, to the DGCA, and all the way down to our hardworking CPOs. In closing, I will say this. Passengers have a responsibility to understand the situations that are beyond the control of airlines. We must minimize the resort to violence inside aircraft and airport terminals this year.

Dadiyata is trending because Mallam El-Rufai shared new information, suggesting ex Kano Governor Ganduje should be held responsible for the activist dissapearance since August 2019, in Kaduna. Idris Abubakar Dadiyata, heavily criticized the APC government, Kano Ganduje, el Rufai, Buhari, until they started warning him to tone it down. He didn’t listen. Claiming he relied heavily on God, since he had a clear conscience, according to his wife Khadija .. He continued. Then around 1am, his wife watched as he was kidnapped while driving into his compound in Kano. That was the last anyone heard or saw him. Kaduna government, DSS, Kano Government all had no clue of his whereabouts or arrest. Until today, when Mallam Elrufai revealed that a police man who transferred from Kano to Ekiti, confessed that they were once sent from Kano to abduct Dadiyata, at his home in Kaduna. El Rufai added that, Ganduje is in position to know more. Because Ganduje was the major recipient of Dadiyata’s criticism. El Rufai claims he had no knowledge of Dadiyata’s existence, but people around him, particularly his sons openly commended Dadiyata’s disappearance on twitter. Dadiyata’s family strongly believed he was with the Kaduna government, that they took the state to court..it denied. Even some aides of APC, NNPP were actively interacting with him on twitter.. If Dadiyata is not found by August 2026, he will be legally confirmed dead, according to Section 164(1) of the Evidence Act, 2011. Stating that anyone not heard from or seen by associates or family etc, for 7yrs, would be naturally presumed dead. Nigerians are unanimously calling for the case be reopened and Kano Government investigated. Interestingly, Kano government also “raised” their voice for Dadiyata, carrying placards.. [photo attached] Dadiyata was 34 when he was abducted, he had a wife and two kids. He was a lecturer at the Federal University Dutsinma, Katsina State and a staunch follower of Rabiu Kwankwaso. Before his abduction, another journalist and critic of APC, was Steven Kefas was abducted months earlier and detained for about 6 months. •• Move your estate or homes..

This video is heart touching. It is another testimony that there are great people in Nigeria. The boy is a Keke rider in Kano state, Northern Nigeria. He found some money left by a Chadian business man & his friend he took to a market, to the tune of ₦13 Million naira (both the CFA and Naira). He took the money home & consulted him blessed mother. She asked him to wait for his father which he did. The father & uncle took him to go search for the owners where he dropped them, but they didn't find the owners. The next day, he heard a Lost & Found announcement in Arewa Radio Station Kano, and he picked the contact number announced. The owners asked for his location to collect the money but he insisted they both meet at the radio station that made the announcement (a smart move). The amazing part about this story is the fact that this boy comes from a home that is financially very poor, but morally one of the richest you can ever find today anywhere in the world. According to the story, the day the boy returned that money, his parent and himself fed on Garri because that was all they could afford. Meanwhile, the money was still with them at that time. Can you beat that?!❤️❤️. May Allah bless the mother, the father and the uncle for this excellent training. Please can someone in Kano find us the boy's details from Arewa Radio and we see what we can help him raise? Can we please contribute something and see if we can assist him with what he desires for growth? I hope the Kano state government under His Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf will also grant this highly honest boy an opportunity to progress his life beyond Keke riding. I have high hope in this country. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬.

From Delay to Crackdown: Lathi Charge and Phone Snatching Spark Outrage at bidadi railway station The Ashokapuram MEMU train was delayed for about an hour and a half, causing great inconvenience to passengers. The train was halted midway due to a technical glitch, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded and unable to reach their destinations on time. Frustrated by the delay, passengers staged a protest against the railway authorities at Bidadi Railway Station. Some protesters came down onto the tracks and shouted slogans, demanding an immediate alternative train. “It is unbearable that the train has not moved for one and a half hours. Students, employees, and women are in distress,” the passengers said. Railway officials stated that the train had been stopped due to a track issue and assured passengers that the problem would be resolved within half an hour, after which services would resume. During this time, a heated argument broke out between the passengers and the officials. As the situation escalated, a scuffle reportedly broke out between the police and the passengers. The Bidadi police arrived at the scene and carried out a mild lathi charge to disperse the protesters who had gathered on the tracks. In a video of the incident, police personnel were also seen allegedly trying to snatch a mobile phone from a passenger who was recording the events #bangalore #bengaluru #bidadi #railway RPF INDIA South Western Railway ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

I had the privilege of accompanying Mr Peter Obi, on an intense and deeply inspiring journey across three critical states, Kaduna State, Katsina State, and Kano State, all within the space of a single day. What I witnessed was not just physical stamina, but emotional strength, clarity of purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the Nigerian project. From Kaduna to Katsina, and finally Kano where we attended the Kwankwasiyya gathering, the message was consistent and powerful, Nigeria must rise above the narrow lines of religion, ethnicity, and division that have held us back for far too long. Everywhere we went, the energy was undeniable. The people are eager, not just for leadership, but for meaningful leadership, one that listens, connects, and acts. In Kaduna, we engaged with aspirants and stakeholders who are determined to rebuild from the grassroots. In Katsina, the conversations were frank, honest, and focused on the future of our democracy. And in Kano, amidst the vibrant spirit of the Kwankwasiyya movement, it became even clearer that Nigerians are ready to unite behind competence, capacity, and character. What stood out most to me was how Peter Obi continues to connect effortlessly with people across all divides, not through rhetoric, but through sincerity, humility, and a shared vision of a better Nigeria. He speaks to the hopes of the ordinary Nigerian, the trader, the student, the farmer, reminding them that they matter, and that this country belongs to all of us. This journey was more than a political movement; it was a reaffirmation that Nigeria’s unity is not only possible, but necessary. We must move beyond parochial sentiments and embrace a future anchored on equity, justice, and productivity. The road ahead may be challenging, but days like this strengthen my belief that a New Nigeria is not just a dream, it is within reach, if we choose to rise above division and work together as one people. -Dr. Moses Paul

🇨🇳 🚆I took the high speed train in China today We booked business class tickets, which was relatively cheap, just $90 for 3.5 hours You could get 2nd class tickets for just $20 by the way Also this train is the fastest train in the world now, faster than Japan's Shinkansen that I took a week ago Here is the business class lounge, it's a special entrance at the station with its own security, and free coffee and snacks, it does have a bit of a 1970 North Korea aesthetic which you honestly don't see here a lot, everything is modern. I think because the train company is state owned? But then the station itself does look hypermodern, any Chinese know why? Of course the video starts with a cough 😊👌 Today was a bit of an ordeal, we went to the station before, we didn't get tickets because there's so many "official" restrictions on luggage and we already lost so many things (like powerbanks), and gf was understandably scared to lose more stuff So we thought we'd first try enter the station and pass security and if we got through fine then by tickets on Trip app But then the Didi driver drove us to the dodgiest entrance of the station called West Squate (not the most popular one) where it was a crowd of ppl trying to enter, we were stopped and couldn't enter and the old man started yelling Chinese at us A group of Thai behind us were also yelled to leave by him So then we and the Thai were outside We then discovered it was because you need a ticket to enter the station in the first place, which again is pretty unique to China In Japan, you just walk in, buy a ticket 20min before and board, not in China Anyway a lot of lessons learnt again today, and that's why traveling in China is hard but also fun, but once you get it it's actually easier than abroad, like there's no train tickets at all, not even digital! You just scan your passport as it's all tied to your ID Very cool

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.
