Below is a table of the 36 state governors of Nigeria with their full official names (in case you want to address any document to any of them). The last column represents their official birth months/years and their ages as of today (see publication date).

Contradictory Statements Indicate That The Police May Have Lied Against Bristol Isaac

News reports of the arrest of Bristol Isaac by the Punch Newspapers has the accused doing two opposite things: A police spokesperson says Bristol " locked himself in the hotel room, smashed his phone, and flushed it down the toilet to destroy evidence. He also refused to surrender his phone's password, claiming he had forgotten it, thereby concealing information ".

If so, we ask: " What would make a person trying to destroy evidence to destroy one evidence-bearing device and leave another?" For us, this seems indefensible but we are open to any contrary opinion if anyone has a

#HarassOmokri2Pay: A Campaign Against Misinformation By Influencers

Someone may have burst the bubble of former Presidential aide Reno Omokri.  Image credit: Wikidata Reno is aware that most Nigerians might be averse to a research culture. So, he often freely gives a challenge that says, " fact-check me". My study of a series of Omokri's "fact-check me" tweets reveals that they are used to influence public opinion unfairly. So, recently, he gave such a challenge which appears to cast a past Nigerian Presidential administration in a bad light as a means of making the current administration look better than it deserves. In that tweet, Omokri was selling the Tinubu Administration using its air safety profile. To achieve that, Omokri, inter alia, claimed that Nigeria was averaging 5 Plane crashes per year some time during the Obasanjo days. As usual, Omokri said " fact-check me " and promised the sum of $10,000 to anyone who could fault his stats. I did the fact-check, faulted Omokri, and informed him via up to
