…as ex-chairman forms parallel association

Some of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP), Ekiti State Chapter have dissociated from the Union over alleged irregularities and constitutional breaches.

These aggrieved , from 10 local government areas across the state cited mismanagement of over N41 million of Union’s funds and other irregularities by the current istration under the leadership of Popoola Adetona.

Recalled that the State Chapter has been enmeshed in serious crisis following an inconclusive election in 2024, which led to the removal of Joel Akinola as the chairman and appointment of Popoola Adetona as caretaker chairman.

This action fueled tension with some aggrieved of Union from ten local governments, parastatals and agencies forming a parallel union known as Pensioners Association of Nigeria (PAN).

The new Union led by the former Chairman, Joel Akinola was officially constituted and unveiled on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti.

Speaking with journalists, Akinola said they are breaking out of NUP over some irregularities which include: mismanagement of over N41m of Union’s funds, open exhibition of abuse of power and greed by the caretaker chairman, lack of concern by caretaker committee for the welfare of Ekiti pensions.

He continues, “We are we leaving NUP over forceful imposition of Caretaker Committee on Ekiti Stat Pensioners, lack of concern by the Caretaker Committee for the welfare of the suffering Ekiti Pensioners, frivolous spending of the Union’s funds on unnecessary journeys to various States and Abuja at will.

“Tarnishing the integrity of Ekiti State Pensioners by sponsoring damaging messages and programs on radios and other social media, illegal promotion of the State Secretary to Level 15 within a spate of three months while receiving pension and bogus allowances, converting NUP to be business venture of the State Secretary’s family.

“Disrespect to Constitutional Authorities in-charge of Pensions and Labour matters in Ekiti State, irregular appointment of Popoola’s daughter to the NUP as a staff, unconstitutional recruitment of SAC without recourse to the authority of the Union at State level.

“Conversion of Union’s official vehicles to engage in personal business ventures, using the security agents to harass and intimidate Pensioners, creating unnecessary divisions among Pensioners.

“Illegal recruitment of delegates to conduct election outside the jurisdiction of the Headquarters, illegal connivance of Elder Ayo Kumapayi, a national officer, with this misrule at the expense of the Pensioners in Ekiti State for his selfish financial gains and deliberate failure of the Caretaker Committee to conduct the State election, which was its primary assignment.

“In view of these irregularities, Constitutional breaches, and their refusal to listen to experienced meditators in Pension and Labour matters, we cannot fold our arms and allow our who have been enjoying the benevolence of the state Government to continue to suffer untold hardship”.

That's not the discussion but Nigerians are not demanding too much but basic amenities to make life easier... instead of deceiving Nigeria that they should take baby steps of pain..

the promise of CNG buses to ameliorate the transportation palava in Nigeria?
Promise to revive the dilapidated refineries ?
How many are working now?

The amagbewale slogan during compaigns...what has gone down?

If you are been deceived by their lies, I can't.

“Nah our papa be this ooo, we no get another
one”- Anambra citizens chanting for Tinubu
during his speech (video)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhfaE2Y4c9E

Anambra State youths on Thursday sang the
praises of President Bola Tinubu during his one-day working visit to the state today May 8.


If the Igbos continue like this, I don't see them becoming a VP talk less of a president in the next two decades


While Tinubu was about rounding off his speech,
some young persons began chanting in Pidgin
English that he was their father, an allusion to the president as father of the nation.


“Na our papa be ds o, we no get another
papa,” they sang.


Picking up from where he left off, President
Tinubu acknowledged them, saying: “Thank you,
God bless you.”

The man Tinubu is trying to reset the country. He's working and these reforms are expected to bring pains. It's better we are pained today to bequeat a painless country to our children and children's children

The citizens are pained why the president's son is moving around with presidential jet with retinue of security details..

So the President's son is excluded from the pain?

Let the brainwashing Continue then

The presidency has announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will return to Nigeria today.

Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy made this known this morning in a post on his verified Twitter page.

Onanuga in a terse statement wrote

https://x.com/aonanuga1956/status/1914235110167114149

Tinubu departed for Paris, , on April 2 on a "short working visit.". He was to return to Nigeria in "about a fortnight" later.

On April 17, the presidency released another statement where the President was said to have left Paris for London.

According to the statement "his return to Abuja and the resumption of duties at Aso Villa will follow the conclusion of the Easter holiday."

If he likes, let him return next year
Who cares

Glimpsetv:
Former Nigerian senator and popular politician, Dino Melaye, has sparked massive reactions online after showing off the interior of his multi-million naira mansion in a recently surfaced video. The luxurious home tour quickly went viral, drawing attention from fans, critics, and political observers alike.

In the video, Melaye—dressed casually—can be seen strolling through his lavishly furnished mansion, gently touching decor and accessories as he moves around, offering viewers a glimpse into his opulent lifestyle.

Dino Melaye, a well-known figure in Nigerian politics, represented Kogi West Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly. He is a long-standing member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and has also served in the House of Representatives. In 2015, he defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) but returned to PDP before the 2019 elections after a prolonged political rift with Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.

During his time in the Senate, Melaye served as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and briefly led the Senate Committee on Aviation. In the lead-up to the 2023 general elections, he was appointed the spokesperson for PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

This latest video has further cemented his reputation not just as a controversial politician but also as a figure of luxury and flamboyance in Nigeria’s political space.

Watch the viral video and drop your thoughts in the comments!

A social media post has sparked outrage after a woman shared footage of her baby daddy, Edward, with a shocking caption. In the now-viral post, she tagged the video with the words, "Edward, you will suffer," and went further to describe him as a "useless thing" she got for her son.

While the reason behind the post remains unclear, but many speculate it stems from unresolved issues between the two. While some online s sympathized with the woman, others criticized her for making such a public statement
