NSCDC Arrests 25-Year-Old Suspect for Vandalizing Public Utilities The Anambra State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested a 25-year-old suspected scavenger for allegedly vandalizing public infrastructure in Onitsha. State Commandant Olatunde Maku confirmed the arrest on Thursday in Awka, stating that the suspect was apprehended on Tuesday at Silas Street, Fegge, in collaboration with the AVG security network in Onitsha South Local Government Area. According to Maku, the suspect was caught demolishing parts of a drainage system to extract iron rods for resale as scrap. He added, “On March 4, a 25-year-old man from Misau town in Bauchi State was caught destroying a drainage wall and removing iron rods with the intent to sell them as scrap. The suspect has confessed to the crime, admitting to vandalizing multiple metal objects and selling them in separate transactions to a scrap dealer.” Maku further stated that the NSCDC’s investigation unit is still gathering evidence, and the suspect will be charged in court once investigations are complete. The commandant also issued a stern warning to iron scavengers, commonly known as Ndi Akpakara, urging them to desist from vandalizing public and private property or face legal consequences.

Nigerian Senate to investigate sexual harassment claims as Natasha resubmits petition Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has resubmitted her petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, alleging sexual harassment. The initial petition was rejected on Wednesday due to being signed by the senator herself instead of her constituents. However, the revised version, now bearing their signatures, was accepted. During Thursday’s plenary, Natasha confirmed that the case was not before any court. She was then directed to formally submit the petition, which was referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct for investigation. The committee has been given four weeks to complete its probe and present its findings to the Senate.

🟦 UPDATE: Lagos Police Restore Speaker Meranda’s Security Amid Assembly Crisis The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Lagos State Command, has reinstated the security details of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mojisola Meranda, following an earlier withdrawal that fueled political tension. Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, confirmed the restoration of security personnel during a press briefing on Thursday evening. Earlier in the day, the removal of security escorts attached to the Speaker’s office and residence had raised concerns, particularly as security details of impeached Speaker Hon. Mudashiru Obasa were restored. Obasa later stormed the assembly complex and declared himself Speaker, even presiding over a controversial plenary session attended by only a handful of lawmakers. Addressing journalists, Commissioner Jimoh clarified that four security personnel assigned to Speaker Meranda, who had been withdrawn, were reinstated to ensure her safety and stability within the Assembly. The leadership tussle continues to generate debate, with Lagosians closely monitoring developments as the state legislature grapples with uncertainty over its leadership structure.

Breaking: Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Sues Senate President Akpabio 🚨 Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has taken legal action against Senate President Godswill Akpabio over alleged defamation. The lawsuit, filed on February 25, 2025, at the Federal Capital Territory High Court, also names the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Akpabio’s aide, Mfon Patrick, as defendants. 🔹 What Happened? During last Thursday’s plenary session, Akpoti-Uduaghan refused to accept a newly assigned seat, openly defying Akpabio’s ruling by reading a point of order. The tension escalated when the Senate President ordered security to escort her out, but fellow lawmakers intervened, preventing the situation from worsening. 🔹 Why the Lawsuit? The lawsuit claims that defamatory statements about Akpoti-Uduaghan were made by Akpabio and published by his aide on Facebook. The post allegedly included a derogatory remark suggesting she believed being a lawmaker was only about "pancaking her face and wearing transparent outfits to the chambers." Her lawyer, Victor Giwa, argues that these statements tarnished her reputation and caused public disaffection toward her. 🔹 What She’s Demanding: ✅ A court declaration that the statements were defamatory. ✅ A perpetual injunction stopping the defendants from making further defamatory remarks. ✅ N100 billion in damages. ✅ N300 million to cover litigation costs. 🔹 Senate’s Response Following the incident, the Senate has referred Akpoti-Uduaghan to the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions for disciplinary review. Senate spokesperson Yemi Adaramodu stated that the event had tarnished the chamber’s image and must be addressed. The committee will investigate the matter and report back to the Senate.

FACTS ON THE SENATE SEATING CONTROVERSY In light of the events that transpired during the Senate plenary session on Thursday, it is imperative to clarify the procedural and constitutional basis for the Senate President’s decision regarding the seating arrangement. The actions taken were in full compliance with the Senate Standing Orders 2023 (as amended) and established parliamentary conventions governing the upper legislative chamber. 1. The Senate President’s Authority Over Seating Arrangements Section 2(2) of the Senate Standing Orders unequivocally vests the Senate President with the authority to regulate seating arrangements within the chamber. The power to assign or reassign seats falls under the presiding officer’s discretion to ensure order, decorum, and proper representation of the Senate's composition. Section 11(3) reinforces the Senate President’s prerogative to manage the chamber's affairs in a manner that reflects the political composition, including adjustments necessitated by the defection or reassignment of members. In this case, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s reassignment was a necessary consequence of the seating adjustments caused by opposition lawmakers defecting to the majority wing, an occurrence that has precedent in parliamentary practice. 2. The Seating Adjustment Was Not Singularly Targeted at Senator Natasha The reassignment of seats was not an isolated action targeting a single senator but a general restructuring affecting multiple senators to reflect the realignment of party compositions in the chamber. In accordance with Senate protocol, newer members traditionally begin their tenure from the back rows, progressing forward over time. Senator Natasha’s reassignment was, in fact, a positive elevation, moving her further into the front of the chamber, a placement typically seen as a mark of growing stature. 3. Senator Natasha’s Non-Compliance Was a Clear Breach of Senate Rules Section 10(2) of the Senate Standing Orders states that senators must sit in their designated seats to be recognized for contributions to debates or discussions. By refusing to occupy her reassigned seat and attempting to contribute from a seat no longer allocated to her, Senator Natasha was in clear breach of this provision. Section 56(1) stipulates that the Senate President has the authority to rule any senator out of order if they violate established procedural guidelines. Senator Natasha’s refusal to comply warranted her loss of recognition on the floor, as was duly enforced by the Senate President. 4. The Senate President’s Decision to Enforce Order Was Justified Section 56(3) of the Senate Standing Orders provides that any senator who refuses to adhere to the directives of the Senate President regarding conduct and procedure may be directed to leave the chamber. In extreme cases, Section 56(5) permits the Senate President to call upon the Sergeant-at-Arms to restore decorum and ensure compliance with parliamentary rules. Senator Natasha’s vocal defiance—raising her voice in protest rather than following due process—further warranted this action. Conclusion: Upholding Parliamentary Order and Decorum The Senate operates on a foundation of structure, discipline, and adherence to rules that ensure its smooth functioning. The Senate President’s decision to enforce the seat reassignment was within his constitutional authority and in line with parliamentary best practices. Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s refusal to comply was a deliberate violation of Senate rules, and the subsequent enforcement action taken against her was not only lawful but necessary to maintain order and the integrity of Senate proceedings. In parliamentary democracy, rules exist to ensure fairness, not individual preference. The ability of the Senate President to regulate seating arrangements is a long-standing norm that transcends personal interests and serves the broader objective of maintaining an orderly and functional legislative body. Thus, any assertion that Senator Natasha was unfairly treated lacks merit, as her actions were in direct contravention of the Senate Standing Orders, which all lawmakers are bound to uphold.

*🇺🇸The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Approves Yield-Bearing STABLECOIN as Crypto Regulations Evolves* Updated: Thursday, 20/02/202 https://tinyurl.com/2dbwcq3r?tg=1740086563 🌕The newly approved stablecoin, YLDs, is issued by Figure Markets and will reportedly invest in US treasuries and commercial paper. 🌕Trump administration’s executive order on digital assets supports THE GROWTH OF DOLLAR-BACKED STABLECOINS. ......the SEC approved securities from Figure Certificate Co., allowing the company to offer a yield-bearing stablecoin known as YLDs. Unlike traditional stablecoins, which earn issuers revenue but provide no direct returns to holders, YLDs will generate yield by investing reserves in securities such as U.S. Treasuries and commercial paper. The SEC has classified YLDs stablecoins as “certificates,” making them subject to securities regulations. This sets them apart from other major stablecoins like Tether’s USDT, which does not offer yield to users despite earning billions in reserve income.

Drama as Akpabio orders Natasha out of chamber A dramatic confrontation unfolded in the Senate on Thursday when Senate President Godswill Akpabio instructed the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central out of the chamber. The incident was sparked by a report from Senate Chief Whip, Mohammed Monguno, who informed the chamber that Uduaghan, had refused to move to a newly assigned seat. Monguno explained that the seat reassignment was necessary to fill gaps left by two opposition senators who recently defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Referencing Senate Order 24, Monguno emphasised his role as Chief Whip, while also citing Order 6, which grants the Senate President authority to assign and reassign seats as needed. He further pointed out that senators are expected to speak only from their designated seats, giving Akpabio the power to deny recognition to anyone speaking from an unassigned position. In protest, Senator Uduaghan stood up from her original seat, invoking Order 10, claiming her privileges had been violated. However, Akpabio swiftly ruled her out of order, affirming that she could not be recognised while speaking from an unauthorised location. When Senator Natasha raised her hand to speak, she was denied recognition by the Senate President for not addressing the chamber from her newly assigned seat. Unwilling to relent, Senator Natasha vocalised her objection, openly challenging the Senate President’s decision. She said: “I don’t care if I am silenced. I am not afraid of you. You have denied me my privilege. “I'm not afraid of further being silenced. I will not be shoved into the corner. As the Senator duly elected by my people, I choose to remain in this seat, come what may. The worst you will do Mr. Senate president is to suspend me."

Why I Prefer Buying Land From Real Estate Companies Instead Of Native Owners 🔥 … my reasons will convince and save you so much money. *** Share this with every Nigerian living in the diaspora *** Around June/July last year, a Nigerian in the diaspora bought a distress sale property of ₦10 million I promoted here. It was a total of ₦16 million for 3 acres but someone else took an acre. The property was an abandoned poultry farm sitting on 3 acres of land. Before she proceeded to make the transaction, she hired a professional surveyor who took time to verify the authenticity of the property. I’m sure she also hired a lawyer to write the transfer of ownership. She did that effortlessly on her own because she could afford it. Even if she spent a million naira on due diligence, it’s still a good deal. But how many people trying to buy their first property have such a budget set aside for just due diligence? A few days ago, someone sent me a heartbreaking message. He had just returned from Europe to inspect the land he bought in Benin, Nigeria from native owners only to discover to his greatest shock that all the land have be resold to other people. We are still discussing how he will go about it and what he should know to avoid future reoccurrence. Here’s the thing… If you can’t afford to hire a professional surveyor and property lawyer to verify a piece of property, avoid buying land from native owners. Any piece of real estate that won’t give you peace of mind will drain your energy and income. Start your real estate investment journey by buying from ONLY reliable real estate companies. I have a couple of them I recommend in Abuja, Asaba, Port-Harcourt, Enugu, Owerri, Ibadan and Lagos. Send me a DM or send a WhatsApp message to +2348061358404 if you need anything in these cities within your budget. That said, let me quickly show you 5 reasons buying land from a real estate company is better than buying from native owners as an individual: 1 — Land verification A reliable real estate company will verify the land to be sure it’s completely free from government acquisition and legal battles before selling it. Many of them have all the connections, structures and financial resources needed to verify the authenticity of a property. Chances are, you may not have the same access to information like the professionals working with them. But when you buy your land from a reliable real estate company, they will save you the stress of doing the verification from scratch. You will have existing documents with which you can verify the land. 2 — Shared Risk In one of the Business Growth Conferences I attended a few years ago, Akin Alabi, founder of Nairabet said something that stuck in my head. He said after building NairaBet, which became the first online betting website in Nigeria, he spoke to some of his friends and encouraged them to also join him in the same line of business. An ordinary mind would think that he misused his golden opportunity to dominate the online betting market. But no. He said he did what he did so that it will be impossible for any government or group of people to bring down his business. If they fight only him, they will deflate him but when others are involved in the same business it becomes impossible to defeat them. There’s something to learn from that. What Akin Alabi forsaw more than 10 years ago would have happened on Thursday, 15th February, 2024 when House of Rep Members moved a motion to ban sports betting in Nigeria. Did they succeed? No! More betting companies have long emerged. Today, Bet9ja, SportyBet and the rest have overtaken NairaBet but NairaBet is still standing strong. In trying to hold on to 100% of the market share, you may lose everything. This is where shared risk comes into play. When you buy a land sold by a reliable real estate company, and sign on all the documents, they are bound to protect your interest. If an issue comes up in the future regarding the land you bought, especially government interruption, you won’t be facing it all alone. 3 — Estate Beautification Have you seen the estate plans of most of these real estate companies? I saw one at Shimawa last year and I was completely blown away. Everything the real estate company promised their clients a few years ago, they have started implementing them. They haven’t even gone far yet and the estate has started looking just like they promised. Beautiful and serene environment. Nothing skyrockets the value of a property like when developers starts building and developing the estate with their own money. Imagine what it will feel like to raise your children in a safe and beautiful neighborhood. 4 — Concerned About Their Brand Reputation The worst person you will ever do business with is someone who has no brand image to protect. Most native land sellers don’t have conscience at all. They have nothing to lose and nothing to protect. This explains why 2 family members can come together to sell their family land leaving another member of their family excluded from the deal. Unfortunately, there are a few real estate companies (I will never mention their names nor recommend them) that don’t have conscious at all. One of them in Lagos is so heartless that they sold out acres of land they can NEVER get a survey plan approval for. Everyone that bought the property got no survey plan. My shocking discovery is that just because a real estate company is big doesn’t mean they care about protecting their brand reputation. Nothing comes close to working with a realtor that has a reputation to protect. 5 — Fosters Connection This particular point may not make sense to everyone but if you care about building a meaningful relationship with people from different industries, including the real estate sector, then buy properties from real estate companies and connect with them. The connection you established with the realtor can last you for a lifetime and even open other business doors. When people buy properties through me, I always go the extra mile to see how my marketing skills can help their business. In the long run, you will get double ROI—one directly from me and the other from your real estate investment. Did I say you shouldn’t buy land from native owners? No! The summary of what I’m saying is that if you can’t afford to hire a professional surveyor and property lawyer to verify the property from native sellers, focus on buying from any of my recommended real estate companies that we have done the verification already. I have not only verified them, I have also done business with them. If you want land of different sizes and budgets in Abuja, Asaba, Port-Harcourt, Enugu, Owerri, Ibadan and Lagos, send me a DM or send a WhatsApp message to +2348061358404
