This is the video that landed Naira Marley in EFFC's net.

It's absolutely insane to be siding and applauding fraudsters publicly and thinking there would not be repercussions for your actions. https://t.co/bx3Uz3iy4j #NairaMarley #EFCC

ASUU Trending Again

Daily Post Nigeria

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Wednesday, threatened to go on strike again after it did so some months ago. The body accused the Federal Government of not showing commitment to its 2019 Memorandum of Action. This triggered reactions from many Nigerians who fear the impact of another strike just after the previous one:

Senators and House of Representative Members get welcome package (billions of Naira).

Then, if they lose their next election, they get a takeaway package (billions of naira).

Yet, the goverment is struggling to sort out ASUU & Nigeria remains the poverty capital of the world.
