Terrorism: Rema Says Nigeria Cannot Be Great Until Its Youth Are Protected
Rema has weighed in on the escalating wave of terrorist attacks across Nigeria, warning that the nation cannot achieve true progress while its young people remain exposed and undervalued. Taking to his X page, he wrote: “Until they protect the youths and allow them to grow into their full potential, Nigeria will never be truly great. 💔🇳🇬” His remark comes at a tense moment for the country following recent terror strikes in Kebbi, Kwara and Niger that have triggered heightened security alerts nationwide.

2Face Idibia Named National Fire Safety Ambassador To Promote Nationwide Awareness
The Federal Government has named music icon and humanitarian Innocent “2Face” Idibia as its National Fire Safety Ambassador, assigning him the role of promoting fire prevention awareness and encouraging safer practices across Nigeria. The announcement was made on Friday in Abuja by the Controller General of the Federal Fire Service, Samuel Adeyemi, during the closing ceremony of the 2025 National Fire Safety Week held at the Service’s Headquarters. The event, themed “Building a Culture of Fire Safety Across Nigeria: Overcoming the ‘Not My Portion’ Mentality,” highlighted the need for citizens to take personal responsibility in preventing fire-related incidents. Adeyemi, represented by Deputy Controller General Aliyu Tambari, recalled that the week began with a virtual town hall, followed by the presentation of Bankers’ Cheques under the Group Life Insurance Scheme to families of fallen and injured fire officers. The week also featured the presentation of the “CG’s Cup” and medals sponsored by Kabir Lateef to recognise and motivate Fire Service personnel. Nationwide sensitisation campaigns were carried out in schools, markets, and major commercial hubs, including street roadshows, drills, and practical demonstrations to equip citizens with fire prevention knowledge. Adeyemi described the public response as “remarkable,” noting increased interest and renewed national commitment to fire safety. Certificates and awards were presented to individuals and institutions demonstrating exemplary compliance with safety standards and active community engagement. Special recognition was given to 2Face Idibia, whose influence is expected to amplify public messaging, inspire behavioural change, and connect millions of Nigerians to the national fire safety agenda. “As a National Fire Safety Ambassador, we expect him to inspire a new generation to embrace a culture of safety,” Adeyemi said. The Controller General reaffirmed the Service’s commitment to strengthening training, modernising operations, improving coordination with other agencies, and deepening community engagement, stressing that fire safety is a continuous responsibility, not a one-time event. He also thanked the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, civil society groups, corporate partners, community leaders, and fire officers for their contributions to the success of Safety Week.
Chief Priest Confident Nnamdi Kanu Can Be Freed After Call With Deputy Speaker
Cubana Chief Priest has issued a fresh message to Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu following the life imprisonment slammed on Nnamdi Kanu, saying he now believes there is renewed hope for Kanu’s release. He revealed that he spent more than 42 minutes on a phone call with the deputy speaker, during which he was assured that the situation is no longer hopeless. “I have been on call for over 42 mins with the Deputy Speaker and from all he briefed me all hopes are not lost. MNK will get freedom hopefully because it’s now the President can take action as matter don comort from court,” he wrote. Chief Priest described Kalu as a man of action, adding that the only reason supporters were frustrated earlier is because they were not being updated on the efforts taking place behind the scenes. “The Deputy Speaker is not a weak man as I stated earlier. He is an action man, is just that they failed to brief us the people with the process of their support to secure MNK release. All hopes are not yet lost,” he stated. He appealed directly to President Bola Tinubu to consider the delegation coming to meet him, insisting that releasing Kanu would help reset and stabilise the South-East. “Your votes are secured. The delegation coming to meet you, please listen to them sir. As long as you help us by letting MNK come home to us to fix Southeast. Just do you. 8 years dey go. Person wey cause this problem don die make the matter sef die. Since his detention Southeast has failed woefully. We need to be on the rise again,” he wrote. Chief Priest also revealed that his conversation with Kalu has now given him access to visit Kanu, adding that he would soon meet him in person. “I will be visiting MNK soon with DS as this conversation has helped me gain access. Make I go see Onye Ndu Ndi Igbo MNK one on one.” This update comes shortly after he criticised President Tinubu over the sentencing, warning that the president would not receive “10,000 votes in the South-East” as long as Kanu remains in detention.

Cubana Chief Priest Warns Tinubu That South-East Votes Are Impossible Without Nnamdi Kanu’s Release
Cubana Chief Priest has delivered a blistering message to President Bola Tinubu after the court sentenced Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment, warning that the president’s political future in the South-East is in serious danger if Kanu remains behind bars. In his post, he declared: “As long as MNK remains in jail you cannot & will never get up to 10,000 votes in SouthEast come 2027. MNK is the supreme leader of SouthEast. His detention has caused us so much setback.” He criticised South-East ministers serving in Tinubu’s administration, describing them as people who lack courage and genuine influence. “They are all cowards… None of them has capacity. They can’t even go to their hometowns because of MNK detention, so how can they help you?” he wrote. Cubana Chief Priest said many of those claiming to support the president are only doing so to gain personal favours. Referring to a recent gathering, he wrote: “All those people on that table with you at Delbourogh Hotel are just bags of deceit. They only want lands to develop and sell. They can’t do anything for you.” He also reminded Tinubu of his own loyalty but warned that the political consequences of keeping Kanu in prison could be disastrous. “Villa na hotel… your check-out time go reach. Only MNK can guarantee you real votes from SouthEast.” Appealing to Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, he said the governor’s achievements would be forgotten if he doesn’t help secure Kanu’s release. He added that the new sentence has weakened every political strategy built in the region. Cubana Chief Priest further criticised the president for skipping Governor Alex Otti’s invitation in Abia, saying Tinubu instead sent an “incompetent” representative who, according to him, has done nothing meaningful for the South-East. He ended with a stark warning: “Appeal this judgement & get it right or get ready to check out of the Villa come 2027. Southeast belongs to MNK. This is the words.”
Followers May Drop, But My Bank Stays, Kiddwaya Reacts to Online Backlash
Former Big Brother Naija star Kiddwaya has reacted after losing a large number of followers on X, formerly Twitter, following his comments about a recent brutal attack in Nigeria.

His post has sparked discussions on social media, with many debating the role of public figures in commenting on national tragedies.
