Two days ago, the Naira made its most significant appreciation in the last one year, going over ₦240 in value over the Dollar within 24 hours, and you said nothing. Reno Omokri to Peter Obi
The Nigerian Stock Exchange gained a record ₦2.1 trillion in just 24 hours, moving from an All Share Index with a total market capitalisation of ₦59.416 trillion, up from ₦57.293 trillion on Thursday last week. You also said nothing. The Port Harcourt Refinery has been revived after many years of being moribund. You were quiet.
But when two female undergraduates of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, died from a stampede yesterday, you chose to speak and rather than commiserate with the families of the victims, you decided to politicise their deaths to further your 2027 Presidential campaign. Don’t you think this is a new low, even for you? Are you only happy when evil things occur?
And you sought to lay the blame on the Federal Government. Was the Federal Government to blame when almost twenty people lost their lives in a stampede in Anambra in 2013 when you were Governor? Were they also to blame for the hundreds of young Anambra men who were extrajudicially killed under your watch and their bodies dumped in the Ezu River?
Desperation is dangerous as it can lead a hitherto right thinking man to take action and make utterances that he would never have even considered were it not for the desperation.
That is why you were silent when the brothers, Chinedu and Omama, were burnt to death by a mob in Onitsha. You said nothing. You did not condemn it. You did not call for the arrest of the perpetrators. You pretended not to hear about it. But now that two female undergraduates died in Nasarawa, it is time to shed crocodile tears!
This is the holy month of Ramadan. Our Muslim brothers and sisters are fasting. It is also the Lenten season. Our Christian brothers and sisters are also fasting. We need unity. We do not need a desperate politician trying to set Nigerians against each other.

“My Dad is AA and my Mom is AA but I’m AS” — X user seeks explanation over genotype confusion
An X user has sparked conversation online after sharing confusion about their genotype.
In the post, the user wrote: “My Dad is AA and my Mom is also AA but I’m AS. Can someone make this make sense to me, please.”
The question quickly drew reactions from other users who tried to explain how genotype inheritance works.
Many pointed out that if both parents are truly AA, a child would typically also be AA, since both parents can only pass the “A” gene.
Some users suggested that the situation could be due to an earlier testing error or that one of the parents might not have been accurately tested.
Others advised the user to consider repeating the genotype test in a reliable laboratory to confirm the result.

Nigerian man jailed 78 months in US over $5m COVID relief fra¥d and romance sc+m
A 34-year-old Nigerian man, Adepoju Babtunde Salako, has been sentenced to 78 months in prison in the United States after pleading guilty to wire fra¥d conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy.
The sentencing was announced on March 4, 2026, by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.
As part of his plea agreement, Salako, who lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, also agreed to plead guilty to seven additional counts of wire fra¥d in Alaska. He was further ordered to pay $2,581,002.50 in restitution to victims.
According to court documents, Salako was part of a criminal network that stole more than $5 million in funds from U.S. COVID-19 relief programs in 2021. The schemes targeted the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, and over 30 state unemployment benefit systems.
Investigators said Salako and two accomplices used stolen identities to fra¥dulently obtain PPP loans and unemployment benefits while submitting fake applications for EIDL loans.
In another scheme, co-conspirators, mostly based in Nigeria, used stolen identities and manipulated romance sc+m victims to obtain government funds.
Authorities said Salako acted as the key contact in the United States, receiving money from victims and government agencies before laundering the proceeds to China and Nigeria. He reportedly took about 25 percent as his commission.
U.S. Attorney Peter McNeilly said Salako and his associates exploited innocent people and defra¥ded American taxpayers of millions of dollars.
Officials from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation also described him as the U.S.-based operative for an international criminal network.
