Will President Tinubu be unseated? The Supreme Court delivers its judgment today on allegations of drug trafficking and CIA ties, reshaping Nigeria’s political future. The Supreme Court of Nigeria is set to deliver a landmark ruling today, December 16, 2024, on a lawsuit that could unseat President Bola Tinubu. The explosive case, brought forward by Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru, a 2019 presidential candidate of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP), challenges Tinubu’s qualifications to serve as president. The lawsuit revolves around allegations of past drug trafficking and purported undisclosed connections with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Chief Owuru, a seasoned lawyer called to the Nigerian Bar in 1982, claims he was the rightful winner of the 2019 presidential election, asserting that his mandate was unlawfully taken by former President Muhammadu Buhari. He alleges that a scheduling error at the Supreme Court derailed his initial attempt to reclaim this mandate. The crux of the current case hinges on Tinubu’s 1993 forfeiture of $460,000 to U.S. authorities following accusations of involvement in drug trafficking. Owuru argues that this forfeiture disqualifies Tinubu from holding public office under Nigeria’s Constitution. He also claims Tinubu has undisclosed CIA ties, which, if confirmed, would contravene Section 157 of the 1999 Constitution. This provision prohibits individuals under foreign influence from serving as Nigeria’s president. The lawsuit names former President Muhammadu Buhari, the Attorney General of the Federation, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and President Tinubu as defendants. With the hearing scheduled for today, the case underscores the urgency and significance of the allegations. Amid these legal proceedings, President Tinubu’s past remains under intense public scrutiny. U.S. agencies, including the CIA, FBI, and DEA, have reportedly withheld unredacted records of Tinubu’s alleged drug-related activities, citing national security reasons. This development has raised questions about Tinubu’s alleged interactions with these agencies and their potential implications for Nigeria’s sovereignty. Legal experts regard this case as unprecedented, highlighting the significance of questioning a sitting president’s eligibility based on such severe accusations. Should the Supreme Court rule in favor of Owuru, it could lead to Tinubu’s removal, sparking a constitutional and political crisis that may reshape Nigeria’s governance and democratic framework. Meanwhile, Tinubu’s legal defense, led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria Chief Wole Olanipekun, is expected to challenge both the substance of the allegations and the Supreme Court’s authority to preside over the case. The court’s ruling will likely delve deeply into constitutional interpretation, evidentiary requirements, and the balance of power between government branches. As Nigeria and the international community watch closely, this case has sparked a broader debate on leadership accountability and the integrity of democratic institutions. A ruling against Tinubu could set a powerful precedent for upholding transparency and ethical standards in governance. For now, all eyes remain on the Supreme Court as the nation braces for a judgment that could reshape its political landscape and judicial history.

The suspects, identified as Elvis Osakpolo Edokpain and Kelly Osas Endgieen, reportedly targeted unsuspecting victims online, reaping significant financial rewards, which they used to purchase luxury vehicles and build mansions across Nigeria. How They Were Caught According to reliable sources at Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos, the suspects’ fraudulent activities came to light after the Anti-Corruption Unit received credible intelligence from outside Nigeria. The information revealed that the suspects were part of a syndicate specializing in forging foreign certificates for illegal purposes. In response, Adegoke Fayoude, the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2, directed the Anti-Corruption Unit to act swiftly. Following his instructions, detectives tracked the suspects to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, upon their arrival. The operation intensified when detectives trailed the suspects to a five-star hotel in Osapa-London, Lekki.

The North-Central chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially declared its support for President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in the 2027 presidential elections. In a statement issued after a meeting in Abuja, the Forum emphasized its commitment to backing Tinubu due to his administration’s positive impact on the North-Central zone since he assumed office in 2023. The statement, signed by Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, Chairman of the North-Central APC Forum, highlighted the region’s unprecedented gains under Tinubu’s leadership. Contrasting Views on Tinubu’s ReelectionThe endorsement comes amid opposition from key northern socio-political organizations, including the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and its youth wing, the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF). The ACF, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Professor Tukur Muhammad-Baba, announced its preference for northern candidates in 2027. Similarly, AYCF President Alhaji Shettima Yerima criticized Tinubu’s first-term performance and warned that the North might withdraw its support unless significant socio-economic improvements are achieved. APC Forum’s Support for TinubuDespite these dissenting voices, the APC Forum lauded Tinubu’s efforts in infrastructure development, security, and federal appointments, describing them as unparalleled since Nigeria’s return to democratic governance in 1999. “President Tinubu’s leadership has brought more opportunities and infrastructural projects to the North-Central than any previous administration,” the Forum noted. It also called on Tinubu to prioritize additional developmental initiatives for the zone and assured him of unwavering support. The Forum expressed optimism about Tinubu’s assent to the proposed North Central Development Commission (NCDC) Bill once passed by the National Assembly. Improvements in Security and EconomyThe APC Forum acknowledged significant strides in combating insecurity in the North-Central, which has enabled farmers to return to their fields without fear. On the economic front, the Forum praised Tinubu’s policies, citing the strengthening of the Naira, increased oil production, rising foreign reserves, and the elimination of fuel scarcity as key achievements. “Tinubu’s economic reforms are beginning to bear fruit, and with time, Nigerians will see reduced inflation and improved living conditions,” the statement read. Call for Nationwide SupportThe Forum urged Nigerians to rally behind Tinubu for a second term, arguing that his policies are crucial for sustained progress. It gave Tinubu a positive assessment in areas such as security, economy, and infrastructure. Growing Support in the North-CentralIn a show of political realignment, two Labour Party members of the House of Representatives from Plateau State—Alfred Ajang Illiya and Daniel Chollom—recently defected to the APC. The Forum interpreted this as a sign of Tinubu’s growing acceptance in the North-Central zone. “We anticipate more defections to the APC as Tinubu’s administration continues to deliver results,” the statement concluded. The North-Central APC Forum reaffirmed its dedication to working for Tinubu’s reelection in 2027, just as it did in 2023.

The Federal Government, under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is dedicated to fostering youth empowerment and sustainable development, according to Nuru Kobi, a representative of the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Abuja. Speaking during the Hausa Fulani Youth Development and Orientation Forum’s (HAFYDOF) 2024 Annual Conference in Kaduna, Kobi highlighted the government’s initiatives targeting youth development. He emphasized that NOA campaigns actively discourage the harmful “get-rich-quick” mindset among young people, encouraging them to embrace sustainable and responsible opportunities. Kobi pointed out the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as a critical resource for students facing financial challenges. “Over 70,000 students have already accessed NELFUND to continue their education,” Kobi noted, adding that many more students could benefit from this initiative to complete their studies. The NOA, in collaboration with NELFUND, plans to extend outreach to remote areas across Nigeria, raising awareness about the program and its benefits. In addition, Kobi discussed the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (NYIF), a government initiative with a funding pool of approximately ₦110 billion. The NYIF is designed to support entrepreneurial and skill-driven youth, providing financial backing to help them create sustainable livelihoods. Kobi encouraged Nigerian youths to take full advantage of these programs, which are tailored to alleviate economic hardship and promote long-term development. Addressing broader concerns, HAFYDOF National President AbdulAziz Tibibi called for urgent solutions to the country’s multifaceted challenges, particularly in northern Nigeria, urging collective efforts to resolve these issues.

Police Arrest Suspected International Fraudsters Over Forged Certificates in Lagos The Nigerian police in Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos, have apprehended two individuals suspected of forging certificates from various international and African universities. These suspects, identified as Elvis Osakpolo Edokpain (23) and Kelly Osas Endgieen (24), were also involved in extensive online fraud schemes that have enabled them to acquire luxury vehicles and properties across the country. Details of the Arrest The suspects’ fraudulent activities came to light following credible intelligence received by the Anti-Corruption Unit of Zone 2. Acting on this tip, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Adegoke Fayoude, ordered an immediate investigation. Detectives tracked the suspects to Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, and subsequently trailed them to a five-star hotel in Lekki, Lagos. They were apprehended while attempting to flee. Upon searching their luggage, forged documents were discovered, including: Confession and Motive Under interrogation, the suspects admitted to procuring the forged certificates through a female accomplice in Ghana. The primary motive was to secure Ghanaian residence permits under the guise of being students. They revealed they had paid a total of 26,000 Ghana cedis (approximately ₦2 million) for the fake documents. The suspects further disclosed that their fraudulent schemes included online romance scams, impersonation, and using fake foreign bank accounts for fraudulent transactions, often referred to as “Facebook bombing.” How the Scam Worked The suspects posed as “Captain Donald Rowe,” an American soldier on a peacekeeping mission in Syria, to dupe unsuspecting victims online. They promised victims access to high-value goods supposedly stationed in Syria and collected payments through blockchain wallets or foreign accounts, which were later funneled into Nigerian bank accounts. Their victims, primarily from Japan, Denmark, and China, were lured into transferring funds under false pretenses. Attempted Bribery and Ongoing Investigation During interrogation, the suspects attempted to bribe the police with ₦66 million, which was recovered as evidence. The police are now collaborating with the Ghanaian embassy and Interpol to apprehend other members of the syndicate operating internationally. Lessons for the Public The suspects admitted to turning to fraud due to financial hardship but urged youths to avoid shortcuts and work hard to achieve success. They regretted their actions and warned others against similar paths. READ ALSO: Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Chanel.

The skyrocketing prices of goods and services have also impacted the fees for end-of-year school parties, leaving many parents and students reconsidering their participation. These events, traditionally designed to celebrate the achievements of students, staff, and school authorities, now face dwindling attendance as costs become prohibitive. Typically, schools charge reasonable fees for these parties to cover expenses like gift items, food, drinks, and other necessities. These celebrations have been a cherished occasion where children and parents showcase new outfits, academic brilliance, and even financial prosperity. However, this year, many families have had to skip these events due to economic pressures. With expenses piling up for Christmas festivities, school accessories, and the upcoming term’s fees, the burden of additional costs for these parties has become too much for many to bear. Soaring Fees Turn Parents Away An investigation revealed that many schools raised party fees by more than 50%, making it unaffordable for families with multiple children. For example, Mrs. Folakemi Ifaleke, a banker, expressed frustration about her children’s school increasing the fee from ₦5,000 to ₦15,000 per child. With three sons, the total cost would have been ₦45,000. “I told my boys to choose between Christmas clothes and the party,” she said. “They picked Christmas clothes and didn’t even mind skipping the party because most of their classmates also weren’t attending.” Similarly, Mr. Jerry Nwokoma, a motor parts trader, faced a hefty bill of ₦90,000 for his four children. “When my wife informed me, I jokingly asked her to sell my head to raise the money,” he said. His children opted out of the party, and he promised them a family outing instead. Schools Respond with Cost-Cutting Measures While some schools struggled with low attendance, others adapted by reducing party costs. Mrs. Chisom Akpota, a teacher, shared that her school lowered the fee from ₦5,000 to ₦3,000. “Even with the reduced fee, only 20 out of 70 pupils paid,” she noted. The school organized a simple celebration with snacks, drinks, and awards for best-performing pupils during the morning assembly. “The children sang, danced, and were happy with what we provided.” In contrast, some schools canceled their parties altogether due to poor turnout. Balancing Costs and Expectations Mrs. Omosefunmi Grace, a school proprietress, explained the dilemma schools face. “Things are expensive in the market. If we charge the same fee as last year, parents complain about the quality of the event. If we increase the fee, parents complain about affordability.” Despite the struggles, her school held its party with limited participation. This growing trend highlights the financial challenges families and schools face during these economically strained times. Parents are prioritizing essentials, while schools are left balancing rising costs with parental expectations.

IntroductionAs Nigeria grapples with rising debt levels, the Federal Government (FG) has significantly exceeded its domestic borrowing target for 2024. With President Bola Tinubu poised to present the 2025 national budget to the National Assembly, borrowing remains a critical issue. The FG has already surpassed its 2024 borrowing limit by N4 trillion—67% higher than initially planned—raising concerns about the sustainability of Nigeria’s debt profile and its broader economic implications. A Closer Look at 2024 Borrowing Trends The Federal Government’s domestic borrowing activities between January and November 2024 reveal an alarming trend. According to reports, the FG borrowed N8.93 trillion in just 11 months, far exceeding the N6 trillion planned for the entire year. Projections indicate that total borrowing for 2024 could reach N10 trillion, representing a 67% overshoot of the year’s target. Breakdown of Borrowing SourcesKey data from the Debt Management Office (DMO) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) highlight the distribution of borrowing activities: Further, in October and November, the FG raised an additional N774.953 billion through NTBs and N635.752 billion via FGN Bonds, with Savings Bonds contributing N7.152 billion. 2024 Debt Stock and Its ImplicationsBy the end of the first half of 2024 (H1 2024), the FG’s domestic debt stock reached N66.957 trillion—a 38.6% increase compared to H1 2023. Treasury Bills accounted for a significant share of this rise, with borrowing through NTBs surging to N11.8 trillion in H1 2024 from N4.7 trillion in H1 2023. The dominance of FGN Bonds was evident, constituting 78.13% of total FG borrowing during the period, climbing to N52.315 trillion from N41.722 trillion in H1 2023. Savings Bonds and Sukuk Bonds also recorded increases, albeit at a smaller scale. The Fiscal Outlook for 2025The Federal Government plans to finance the 2025 budget deficit—estimated at N9.22 trillion—through domestic and external borrowing, privatization proceeds, and multilateral loans. Analysts warn that this reliance on borrowing is unsustainable, particularly with domestic borrowing likely to dominate due to limited external financing opportunities. Economic Concerns: Insights from Analysts Experts have expressed concerns about the FG’s rising debt levels and borrowing costs: Dr. Muda Yusuf, CEO of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), highlighted the risk of overheating the economy due to excessive borrowing. He noted that while debt funded through Treasury Bills or bonds is less inflationary, it still exerts significant pressure on the private sector. Moving Forward: Policy Recommendations Victor Chiazor, Head of Research at Fidelity Securities Limited, urged the FG to ensure that borrowing supports initiatives that stimulate economic growth and stabilize exchange rates. ConclusionThe FG’s overshooting of its 2024 borrowing target by N4 trillion underscores the urgent need for fiscal discipline and a strategic approach to debt management. As Nigeria prepares for the 2025 budget, policymakers must balance borrowing needs with sustainable economic growth to avoid further economic challenges.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14). In one of our previous studies, I explained to you that Jesus is the Son of God—God in human flesh! The Bible shows us something more about who He is in John 1:1. It says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The 14th verse says, “…the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us….” But a more accurate rendering is “the Word became flesh”; Jesus Christ is the Word of God become flesh. It’s easy to accept that Jesus is the living Word, the Word become flesh, but do you know that the same is true about you? The Bible says: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23). You were born again by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever. Think about it: Jesus Christ is the Logos of God, the Word of God, become flesh. Now, that same Word that became flesh gave birth to you. That makes you God’s Word in flesh. Paul understood this and called us the epistles of Christ—the words of Christ: “Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” (2 Corinthians 3:3). Then he points out something extraordinary in the 18th verse: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). He says as you reflect on God’s Word, as you ponder and meditate on it, you see yourself—as the reflection of God’s glory, for you’re the offspring of the Word. Hallelujah! Moment of Worship: https://loveworldlyrics.com/holy-most-holy-by-maya-and-loveworld-singers-praise-night-20/ PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for your Word that has given birth to me; now I have and live the life of the Word. I’m influenced and transformed by your Word to live the glory-life. I walk in the consciousness of this truth as I manifest your righteousness, wisdom, grace and truth in my daily life. Thank you for this divine life that I have in Christ Jesus. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:|| 2 Corinthians 3:2-3Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. || || James 1:18Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. || || 1 Peter 1:23-25Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. || READ ALSO: All grace—every favour and earthly blessing—come to me in abundance so that I may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need, be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support, furnished in abundance, for every good work. I am loaded with all power, glory, might, and grace! I will never walk in confusion because the Spirit of God is guiding me in the path of life and leading me in the way of supernatural success and permanent prosperity. I make my way prosperous and consistently experience good success as I meditate on the Word and speak it forth with boldness. I am guided and propelled by God’s divine wisdom to do His will and fulfil my destiny in Christ. My eyes of understanding are enlightened; I see the invisible and I am empowered to do the impossible. My life goes only in the direction of God’s purpose; therefore, I’ll never be sick in life. I can only grow from strength to strength, for divinity has been activated in my body. The life of Christ in me makes me superhuman! I recognize the divine ability, efficiency, and might that are at work in me today. By virtue of the divine life of Christ in me, every cell of my blood, every bone of my body, and every organ in me is invigorated; no infirmity can fasten itself to my body, I live in absolute health and soundness of mind and body. I have a sharp memory and a firm capacity to remember important details, experiences and knowledge. My mental acuity and my cognitive abilities are top-notch. I am born of God, therefore, fear has no place in my life. I am perceptive, astute and smart. I am confident, bold and courageous. I am not bound by the principles of the world because I hail from Zion – the heavenly kingdom – where sickness, disease, death, or any form of darkness do not exist. I am an effective and efficient ambassador for God’s Kingdom and I dispense divine health realities to all I encounter. I dwell in the safety and peaceful habitation of the Almighty; a place of glory, dominion, and everlasting joy, where I reign and rule with Christ over circumstances in the name of Jesus Christ.
