Buhari is there to get some water while he waits on his next flight out to be announced. Osibanjo is there because someone said 'tech hub' three times. Peter Obi is there to ensure every kobo is accounted for. Atiku is there to oversee recruitment interviews.

A quick announcement that the police detained some women overnight after yet another raid, and is asking for 5000 naira each before they can be released this morning. This extortion must stop. This is why I'm marching today. #AbujaPoliceRaidOnWomen

We cannot continue like this. Detain someone for over two months because the sim he bought & registered somehow belonged to the President's daughter? And then he's released and told to "take it in his stride"? Just like that? Come on Nigeria. punchng.com/i-was-detained…

DSS was waiting for Hanan before they released someone they snatched from Asaba and detained in Abuja. Did anyone even engage the mobile network? Who covers his costs? His family's? Who compensates him for time and revenue lost? What kind of country is this ni tori Olorun?

So is he free to go or he'll be arrested again? Since he posted bail, what are the charges against him? Is he innocent? Why was the sim returned to him? It is a disgrace that our metric for progress is power, that the biggest crime is to be poorer than your potential oppressor.

Worst part? He said he was forgotten there. How does the DSS forget a person? I keep raising about a missing people's register. How many more people have been disappeared and 'forgotten'? Jones Abiri was gone over 2 years, Dadiyata, over 5 months. What of the ones we don't know?

FG offers N100bn to Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (paid over 2 years) for them to stop kidnapping/killing people. BTW, they asked for N160bn. We 'priced' it down to 100 in a negotiation meeting that lasted over 4 hours. Congratulations to everyone involved.

About 26 people have been rescued from the bandits, but the true number of those taken hasn't been ascertained. This is the 10th mass school abduction since December. Over 1000 have been abducted, with over 150 people (children and adults) still missing to date. 💔💔💔

Loving this strong show of unity from the media this morning condemning the structural attacks on freedom of speech and the civic space by the government. Will always be wild how a government that rode to power on the backs of free speech are working extra hours to destroy same.

Kai, I'm really frustrated with this fuel scarcity. I can't explain how frustrated I am that Abuja has had fuel scarcity on & off for at least six months this year. What is going on? We can't have fuel scarcity, poor electricity and water board with issues at the same time FGS!

"A flourishing Nigeria would boost the whole of Africa. Instead it is dragging it down. Nigerians are poorer now than they were in 2015, when the outgoing president, Muhammadu Buhari, took over" - The Economist 🔨

The late night raid of this man's house in 2019 by the Buhari administration was a desecration of our judiciary for political (and other) reasons. Shame that there are no consequences for everyone involved in this madness, including those whose rotten lips justified it.

It's incredible how Lufthansa have stressed me today. Spoken to four human beings without a resolution of this matter. So exhausted and will definitely file a complaint. This is very unlike the clarity with this airline that I'm used to.

You asked, so we're answering! We've received your thoughtful questions about the Women, Earth & Equity (WEE) Climate Workshop, from "Why ecofeminism?" to "What does climate justice have to do with gender equality?" and how it all ties into the broader fight for feminist climate

Dear Qatar Airways I've been on hold for 25 minutes... I was told I'd only need to wait for 5 minutes. Flight is tomorrow morning. What are we doing?
