US Genocide Debate Tied to FG’s Failure on Insecurity – Hashim

Former presidential candidate and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has criticised the federal government for what he described as its “shamefully political and dangerously unserious” handling of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. In a statement released over the weekend, Hashim accused the government of prioritising propaganda and political maneuvering over genuine efforts to protect citizens from terrorists and bandits. “This government treats the blood of innocent Nigerians like a campaign statistic,” he said. “Instead of confronting terrorists and bandits, they issue empty statements and blame imaginary enemies. Governance is not propaganda.” Hashim alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was more focused on gaining political advantage ahead of the 2027 elections than securing the country. “Rather than uniting the nation, the APC is pitching the South against the North,” he added. He linked the recent move by the […]

Nigeria Launches Landmark ISO Standard to Bolster Anti-Fraud Framework

Nigeria has unveiled a groundbreaking anti-fraud framework with the official launch of the ISO 37003:2025 Fraud Control Management Systems standard, in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI). The landmark initiative, coordinated by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), was launched in Abuja by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, represented by Jachinma Agu, deputy director of reforms. Oduwole described the standard as more than just another regulation, but a “collective resolve to shield Nigeria’s economy from fraud — a hidden tax on development.” “Fraud increases the cost of doing business, erodes investor confidence, stifles innovation, and undermines public trust,” she said. According to the minister, ISO 37003:2025 equips organisations to identify fraud risks, apply proportionate controls, detect illicit activities, and respond swiftly to incidents. She urged both government agencies and private firms to adopt the […]

But I only understood it when I visited villages." He described crumbling schools and undrinkable water, asking sharply:“Do we love the people? Or just love ruling them?

Former Minister Rotimi Amaechi delivered a sharp message at his 60th birthday in Abuja. He revealed he would have pursued similar policies to President Bola Tinubu if he led Nigeria.

If it went into the economy, people wouldn’t be complaining."* The Root Problem: Sharing vs. BuildingThe ex-Rivers Governor pinpointed a deeper issue in Nigerian politics. "Our politicians lack capitalist ideas," he stated. "Elites only fight about sharing resources, not creating them." He argued this "sharing mentality" blocks real progress that could help […]
