As a mom, I have learnt that your children will start disobeying you even from the womb. I’m not kidding. This is something I realised after giving birth to David and Michelle. Let me explain.

When I was pregnant with David, I only asked this boy for one thing. I asked him to make sure he comes out carrying the same dimples his daddy has. If you know my husband, you will know that his dimple is very very “dimply” Those dimples are always the highlight of my day, especially when he smiles. So, when I was pregnant with David, I repeatedly asked him to make sure he comes out with those dimples as well, but did he obey me? Capital no!

Fast forward to his sister, Michelle, I kept repeating the same instruction when she was in the womb. I even had to touch my husband‘s dimples countless times and touch my tummy and kept repeating same thing. Did she obey me? No. She went ahead to follow her brother’s footsteps.

Why can’t these children obey simple instruction? They both look like my husband but forgot to get the most important thing I needed, the ultimate dimples.

Kids whine you eh but no loose your cool

“Supporting Peter Obi's coalition would be a gravę mistake for Arewa” – Angry Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri has warned Arewa against supporting Peter Obi's coalition, citing concerns about Obi's past actions and potential consequences for the North. According to Omokri, if Arewa backs Obi's coalition and gives him the Presidential ticket, they may face marginalization similar to what Northern Cameroon experienced after Ahmadou Ahidjo's resignation in 1982.

Omokri highlighted President Bola Tinubu's loyalty and integrity in supporting former President Muhammadu Buhari, suggesting that Arewa has a reliable Southern ally in Tinubu. He raised questions about Obi's credibility, citing allegations of plotting against Muslims, defending IPOB, and failing to condemn IPOB's activities, and appointing a Christian coordinator in Sokoto.

Following Peter Obi's appeal to Nigerians about his single four-year presidential bid, Reno Omokri said: “If Arewa makes the mistake of backing the coalition and giving their Presidential ticket to Peter Obi, exactly what happened to Northern Cameroon after Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned on November 4, 1982, is what will happen to Northern Nigeria. Go back and study history.

The Hausa and Fulani are the most marginalised ethnicities in Cameroon, and Paul Biya kept none of the promises he made to Ahidjo.

But in Nigeria, Mutanen Arewa has a Southern friend they can rely on, in President Bola Tinubu. He showed his loyalty and integrity by standing with Buhari and ensuring he was elected and reelected.

General Buhari had tried thrice without Asiwaju Tinubu and failed each time. But in 2015, Jagaban stood with him. And that fidelity made the difference that led to victory:

Now, do you want to leave him and entrust power to a man who was caught on a leaked audio plotting "religious war" against the Muslim Ummah, and has in the past made other disparaging remarks about Mutanen Arewa?

A man, like Peter Obi, who defended the Indigenous People of Biafra and said they were not terrorists? So who killed Harira, the pregnant Arewa woman from Adamawa, and her four underage daughters, including Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2, who were killed in broad daylight at Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State?

Who killed Ahmed Gulak in Owerri in May of 2021?

Today, millions of innocent Nigerian citizens will be forced to observe the infamous Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast. Has this same Peter Obi ever condemned IPOB or their sit-at-home?

Mutanen Arewa may recall that in the most Islamic state of Nigeria, the seat of the Caliphate, Peter Obi named Ifeanyi Ezeagu as the state coordinator of his campaign for Sokoto. He also named John Ezeigbe the coordinator for Lagos state.

And this is the man telling you to give him power, and he will do only one term?

A man who could not keep a promise to Ojukwu will now stay true to his pledge to Arewa?

Believe that, and prepare for the Cameroon treatment.”

US President Donald Trump has once again taken aim at Elon Musk, suggesting the billionaire would "head back to South Africa" if federal subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs) are cut. Trump’s jab follows Musk’s sharp criticism of the sweeping tax and spending bill known as the "Big Beautiful Bill," which includes proposed cuts to clean energy support. Musk has referred to it as "political suicide for the Republican Party." Trump has also threatened to investigate the subsidies received by Musk’s companies using the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—an agency Musk once led before stepping down in May. As senators push ahead with the bill, Musk has hinted he may launch his new political party, the so-called "America Party," the day after it passes. #DWAfrica

INEC Meets Political Party Leaders, Sets Date for Bye-Elections, Anambra and Nationwide Voter Registration

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) continued its series of regular consultative meetings with key stakeholders on Day 2 of engagements, with leaders of registered political parties across the country.
In his opening remarks, the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, provided a comprehensive update on upcoming electoral activities, including the scheduling of bye-elections, the resumption of Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), and preparations for the Anambra State Governorship election.

Prof. Yakubu announced that INEC has fixed Saturday, August 16, 2025, for the conduct of bye-elections in 16 constituencies across 12 states of the federation. The elections will involve 3,553,659 registered voters across 32 Local Government Areas, 356 Wards, and 6,987 Polling Units. The Commission plans to deploy 30,451 election officials for the exercise.
However, the Commission stated that bye-elections will not hold in Khana II State Constituency in Rivers State, due to the ongoing state of emergency, and in Talata Mafara South State Constituency in Zamfara State, owing to a legal dispute regarding the declared vacancy by the State Assembly.

Prof. Yakubu emphasized the tight timeline for conducting the bye-elections, noting that party primaries are to be held from July 17 to 21, 2025, while submission of nomination forms via the INEC portal will begin at 9:00 a.m. on July 22 and close at 6:00 p.m. on July 26. Public campaigns are scheduled to run from August 2 to August 14, 2025.

The INEC Chairman also revealed that the Commission has approved the resumption of CVR at two levels: state-specific and nationwide.
In Anambra State, ahead of the forthcoming governorship election, CVR will take place in all 326 Wards from July 8 to 17, 2025, running daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., including weekends. This window will allow new voters, those transferring registration, or seeking replacement of lost or damaged PVCs to update their status. PVCs from previous exercises will also be available for collection at registration centres.
On a national scale, online pre-registration will resume on August 18, 2025, followed by in-person registration on August 25, 2025, across INEC's 37 State and FCT offices and 774 Local Government Area offices nationwide.

Speaking at the meeting, Alhaji Yusuf Dantalle, National Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), reaffirmed the council’s dedication to promoting electoral integrity and democratic governance.

“IPAC is unwavering in its commitment to fostering electoral integrity, political stability and inspiring trust in electoral governance,” Dantalle said.
He urged stakeholders to uphold the sanctity of the ballot and hold elected officials accountable as a means of strengthening Nigeria’s democracy.
Dantalle highlighted the upcoming Anambra Governorship election as an opportunity for INEC to demonstrate technological advancement in election administration, particularly with the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in electoral governance to enhance transparency, reduce risks, and improve voter engagement.

He also commended INEC and the Federal Government for the ongoing construction of the new headquarters annex of the Commission, describing it as a significant step toward improving INEC’s operational efficiency.

The meeting was attended by NationalCommissioners, the Secretary to the Commission, aides to the INEC Chairman, and Directors from various departments within the Commission.

You’ve always been about growth. You love to see others win — that’s why you’re the biggest. Africa’s 001. People say nobody’s perfect, but you, my brother, are truly good. No one can fake goodness for 10 years straight. God bless your home." – Diamond Platnumz
