Statement from the kaduna state police command regarding Peter Obi’s birthday celebration planned in Kaduna State.

The Nigeria Police Force, Kaduna State Command, has announced that it would stop a planned rally by supporters of the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the state over fear of it being hijacked by hoodlums.

Naija News reports that Obidient members had planned to rally in the North-western state in honour of Obi’s birthday celebration.

But in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, the Command threatened to take legal action against any individual or group found violating this directive.

According to the Kaduna Police Command, intelligence information at its disposal revealed that certain criminal elements are planning to infiltrate and hijack the proposed rally, using it as a platform to cause disruption, incite violence, and disturb the prevailing public peace in the state.

It stated that all forms of political rallies and public gatherings of a political nature in Kaduna State remain suspended across the state until the official commencement date of political activities as stipulated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

I think @MTNNG is stealing data from their customers to run their company.

I mean, how else do you explain data usage of 40 GB in 6 days?

I use Shaw for my home internet and Bell on my phone when I am in Canada; it’s unlimited, and I don’t even use up to 40 GB in a month even with Netflix, X, IPTV, surfing, and telephony, and sometimes I even have to work from home.

MTN is extorting Nigerians like an illegal tollgate, and as the minister of communications and digital economy, this is the type of case that should be earning @bosuntijani his stripes.

Unfortunately, anywhere you find APC, the incompetence and malfeasance don’t take long to show. It always wins out.

1. Why did Mrs. Buhari relocate to Dubai after the return of her husband from what was showcased as a prolonged and clearly complicated and traumatic medical sojourn in the UK?

Surely, the priority of the devoted wife that she was prior to 2017 would have been the care of her convalescent husband?

2. Why did the Buhari children suddenly drop almost completely out of public visibility, whereas they were all over the place prior to 2017, sometimes with their father, sometimes not? Why did they avoid the "recovering" Buhari?

3. Why did Zahra Buhari post the attached post in her verified Instagram account on 31st December 2019? Could you interpret her words?

Anger is the wind that blows out the candle of the mind.

In 2017, a conspiracy theory that Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari had died in a London hospital and was replaced with a body double called ‘Jubril’ from Sudan surfaced in popular discourse. This occurred after Buhari had spent three months undergoing medical treatment in London for an undisclosed illness. The President’s location outside of Nigeria, in the country that was its former colonizer, gave shape to different versions of the conspiracy theory, with suggestions that British Nigerian political elites were behind the replacement of the President and were hiding his alleged death.
Anxieties around the President were initially provoked by a tweet on 19 May 2017, in which Eric Joyce, a British politician, tweeted that the President was dead. President Buhari had last been seen in public two weeks earlier. Eric Joyce’s tweet triggered Nigerians who were looking to escape a repeat of the power vacuum that had been experienced in the country after the death of a previous sitting president, Umaru Yar’Adua, who died in similar and somewhat mysterious circumstances in 2010.
Narratives that the president was a clone emerged in public discourse following President Buhari's public reappearance and return to Nigeria from the UK in August 2017. The first identified online appearance of the clone conspiracy theory was a YouTube video created by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a secessionist group in southeastern Nigeria, in September 2017. The group had been seizing opportunities during election windows to insert itself into broader political debates by whipping up regional sentiments of marginalization and political apathy. It had used a range of mainstream and social media channels to call the attention of the international community to its agitations and the illegal detention/trial of its leader. The body double conspiracy theory was picked up in the Nigerian media and widely spread through different forms of popular communication in Nigeria, resulting in Buhari publicly acknowledging and confronting the conspiracy theory. On 2 December 2018, Buhari insisted during an event in Poland, ‘It’s [the] real me, I assure you.’ The IPOB leader responded, tweeting:
If Buhari is not dead and replaced by Jubril from Sudan, why won't the Nigerian government sue Eric Joyce, a former British lawmaker, for peddling lies? They can’t because they know I am speaking the truth. @AsoRock @ericjoyce @NGRPresident @UKParliament @NGRSenate @WhiteHouse t.co/qqrKHPmtNy
In this article, this conspiracy theory that President Buhari was a clone is addressed as an opportunity to question the superficial confidence with which conspiracy theories have been dismissed as aberrations and negative externalities of digital ecosystems and their supporters as threats to an ostensibly deliberative public sphere. While not pitched in defense of conspiracy theories, it seeks to examine them without the comfortable protection of post-enlightenment normativity and to remind us how injunctions to ‘speak civilly’ or ‘think rationally’ tend to reproduce tropes from a colonial past, dismissing or erasing other forms of knowledge/reasoning used to make sense of the world to speak to power.

The arguments and analyses we advance here are closely related to those we presented in a previous article (Gagliardone et al.,
Citation
2021), where we empirically illustrated how this explorative, rather than normative, approach allows us to grasp how individuals do not simply fall for, embrace, or support a conspiracy theory but can ‘do’ specific and distinct things with/through them. In that article, we comparatively analyzed how conspiracy theories circulating at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic were seized by some Nigerian users and politicians as opportunities to criticize the ruling party, while in South Africa the same conspiracy theories became a vehicle to voice deep-rooted resentment towards the West and corporate interests.

"Across the world, most people focus on attacking radical Islamist groups themselves, but they often ignore a critical question: Who is funding and creating these extremists?

According to multiple reports—including those by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), U.S. Department of the Treasury, and EU Terrorism Situation & Trend Report (TESAT)—a significant amount of terror financing comes through charities, NGOs, and religious institutions that operate from countries that project a secular, peaceful, and modern image internationally.

For example:

• Investigations have highlighted flows of money from wealthy Gulf states into madrassas and radical networks in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other poorer Muslim-majority countries.

• According to FATF greylist and blacklist reports, countries like Pakistan have been repeatedly flagged for failing to curb such financing. Yet, the original funding sources often come from donors based in far richer, politically stable countries.

• A Carnegie Endowment study also showed how some Gulf-based charitable networks indirectly supported extremist ideology abroad while maintaining a respectable face at home.

These sponsoring nations keep their global reputation clean, attract billions from tourism and foreign investment, and yet part of that wealth quietly sustains radicalization in economically weaker states like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, and beyond.

Suppose the international community truly wants to end extremist violence. In that case, it must cut the root—the financial and ideological sponsors—rather than just trimming the branches and leaves by going after foot soldiers alone."

“We bought the refineries in January 2007. Then we had to return them to the government because there was a change of government. And the managing director at that time convinced Yar’Adua that the refineries would work. They said they just gave them to us as a parting gift or something. And as of today, they have spent about $18 billion on those refineries, and they are still not working. And I don’t think, and I doubt very much if they will work,” Mr. Dangote said
