Mixed Reactions As Seyi Tinubu Flies Presidential Jet To Polo Event In Kano.

By


The news of President Bola Tinubu's son, Seyi, flying a presidential jet to attend polo games in Kano State has sparked mixed reactions on X (formerly Twitter).


The discussion started when a journalist, Jaafar Jaafar, on Monday, criticised Seyi's use of a presidential jet for non-official purposes, citing a similar instance when President Muhammadu Buhari's daughter, Hanan, travelled in a presidential jet for a photo tour. 


Sharing photos on his X (formally Twitter), Jaafar wrote, “Here’s Tinubu’s golden child, Seyi, travelling in a presidential jet to watch polo in Kano. But this trend did not start today. Buhari set the bad example when he allowed his daughter, Hanan, to travel in a presidential jet for a photo tour in Bauchi. Even if our laws are vague on this, one thing is clear. This is an offence to the moral code of leadership.”


Reacting to the post, an X user HGBashar, said, “Buhari merely sought the title of 'President' without understanding or respecting the sanctity of the office. The audacity to let his daughter, Hanan, use a presidential jet for a mere photo tour in Bauchi was the beginning of this mockery. 


“Now we see Tinubu's protege, Seyi, hopping on the same jet for a polo match in Kano. It's not just about the laws, it's about ethics, morals, and respect for the position. Our leaders must do more than just occupy an office; they must uphold its dignity.”


Another user, belloinuwa, said, “What about the misuse of a special forces unit as his body guards? See them in the pictures. The other day he went skate boarding in Abuja with them running by his side. This is just a continuation of the culture of impunity from the previous government, perhaps on an even grander scale this time.”


“This is just a snapshot of what is to come under BAT. Wait until Folashade starts her own gig. This is what you get when self-serving folks make their way to power and those who should know better align with them just to foster ethno-religious sentiments,” buzuzu7 added.


Chiding the journalist, X user, GoziconC, said, “Thank you for showcasing your frustration. When your father becomes the most powerful man in Nigeria, please don't near the Presidential Jet. Feel free to use wheelbarrow as your means of transport, but until then, continue crying!!”


Aiesmerh tweeted, “So what do you expect them to fly public flight as a first family? Jaafar this your story won't sell abeg. It's so globally. Get another story to sell.”


“These guys were rich before entering the villa, stop this hating please. The nation is grappling with many issues and families are struggling too. PJ or No PJ, the boy will still find a way to watch his favourite sport,” Masiobi added.

 Donald Trump's return to the White House is poised to have far-reaching effects on international politics across various regions. 💬 Russia: Trump’s less interventionist stance on foreign policy may appeal to Moscow, with some Russian leaders hoping he’ll cut back U.S. aid to Ukraine. However, Moscow remains uncertain, aware that Congress may resist such moves. Dmitry Medvedev, a close Putin ally, mentioned Trump’s “business-first” mentality, suggesting this might work in Russia's favor, though the situation is still uncertain. 💬 Middle East: Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, have welcomed Trump’s return, seeing it as a renewal of strong U.S.-Israel ties. Yet, nations like Iran worry about Trump’s pro-Israel stance and potential increases in U.S. support for Israeli military actions.

 🇮🇱 Israel Captures Senior Hezbollah Operative in Daring Amphibious Raid In an early-morning operation Friday, Israeli special forces from Shayetet 13 successfully conducted an amphibious raid in Batroun, northern Lebanon, capturing a high-ranking Hezbollah operative, according to Israeli military officials. The elite unit transported the suspect back to Israeli territory, where he is now under investigation by Unit 504, an Israeli intelligence division. This operation is the latest in Israel’s ongoing efforts to counter Hezbollah activity, with the IDF stating that similar actions will be taken as needed to ensure the safety of Israel and its citizens. Lebanese authorities are investigating, while Hezbollah has condemned the raid as “Zionist aggression.” This incident follows Hezbollah’s reported attack on an Israeli naval base last month.

If Your "God" Had To Die Before He Could Forgive Your Sins, Try Allah, The Eternal Living.

By
Image
  I  heard some Christians saying that Jesus is God, but He intentionally came to this world to die so He can forgive our sins. In case you know any Christians around, tell them that I have a God that can never be overpowered, or get killed. He doesn’t die! My God says: وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْحَىِّ ٱلَّذِى لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِۦ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًا And put your trust in the Ever Living Who does not die, and glorify His Praises, and Sufficient is He as the All-Knower of the sins of His slaves.¹ If anyone’s God ever died, let them try my God, Allah, the one who has never died! And another beautiful thing about my Lord is that He doesn’t have to die, or send His son on a suicide mission, just to forgive my sins. He says, قُلْ يَـٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ “Say: “O My slaves who have transgressed against thems

 A New Dawn for Osun State: Governor Ademola Adeleke's Transformative Leadership.
