The law is indeed not emotional but I feel for . In my opinion, the fact that the Lawyer is being professional and exploring all avenue to protect his/her client's interest doesn’t mean Davido should be reminded of such a sad moment. Find, I'm not in support of Davido taking Imade away completely from her Mom but a father who wants his child close to him is a true father. Thousands of Davido's gender are out there roaming about the streets calling themselves fathers putting on skirts in the name trousers. It is well with you OBO.

Nigerian Student and E-Hailing Driver Killed in Pretoria: A Call for Justice and Accountability
The brutal killing of 22-year-old Nigerian student and e-hailing driver Isaac Satlat in Pretoria West has sent shockwaves through communities both in Nigeria and in South Africa.

Isaac was reportedly hijacked and str@ngled by a S0uth African lady and a male accomplice, with his body and vehicle later discovered in Atteridgeville. Dashcam footage circulating online has intensified public grief and anger. Authorities have confirmed investigations are ongoing and have urged the public to avoid spreading unverified claims.

But beyond the horror of the crime lies a deeper concern.

Isaac was not involved in crime. He was not a fugitive. He was not a suspect. He was a young man working legally as an e-hailing driver, striving to support himself through school and preparing to graduate next month. He reportedly had plans to continue his studies in Canada. His life represented ambition, discipline, and hope. The murderers are neither police nor law enforcement agents but they took the life they didn't create 😭😭, show me one South African youth that's 22 years old that is an e-hailing driver? None, this shows you how industrious and enterprising Nigerians are.
These are the group of people Jacinta Zuma is recruiting, by the time we are done with our petition, Jacinta Zuma and all her acc0mplices will be in j@il.

*FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REINFORCES COMMITMENT TO REVITALISING UNITY SCHOOLS-MINISTER OF STATE FOR EDUCATION*

The Federal Government has reaffirmed its strong commitment to revitalising Unity Schools across the country. This was demonstrated through a strategic unannounced inspection tour embarked upon by the Honourable Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad, who visited Federal Government College (FGC), Kano, and Federal Government Girls College (FGGC), Kazaure, as part of efforts to assess infrastructure, teaching standards, and student welfare in these institutions.

During the visits, Professor Suwaiba engaged directly with school leadership, teachers, and students, gaining first-hand insights into the conditions of the schools and the challenges they face. She explained that the inspection was not ceremonial but a deliberate effort to align government policies with realities on the ground. By listening and observing operations in real-time, the Ministry seeks to implement more targeted and impactful interventions.

Professor Suwaiba announced that the Federal Government has earmarked over ₦80 billion for the renovation and upgrade of more than 100 Unity Schools across the nation. She explained that this investment reflects the government’s determination to improve the quality of education through the provision of modern and conducive learning environments.

She further revealed that the Ministry is developing a national digital platform for teacher training. This platform will enable teachers nationwide to access contemporary instructional resources and professional development opportunities, regardless of their location. According to the Minister, empowering teachers with up-to-date pedagogical skills is central to achieving sustainable improvement in education delivery.

In addition, the Minister highlighted the importance of maintaining appropriate student-teacher ratios, implementing regular quality assurance assessments, and promoting inclusive education. She noted that Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) remain a vital tool in supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds, improving access to education and reducing dropout rates.
