The Ogun state command of @PoliceNG says 4 soldiers from @HQNigerianArmy believed to be from Ikeja Cantonment killed some residents of Isheri Olofin, a boundary community between Lagos and Ogun, on Monday.

thecable.ng/police-how-ike…
According to @PoliceNG:
Soldiers had a minor disagreement with some youths & started shooting sporadically into the air. 1 Damilare Adelani was hit by bullets & died there. This infuriated the ppl who reacted against the soldiers leaving 1 soldier & 3 others injured.
Soldiers took their injured pal to hospital where they met 1 of the injured civilians being attended to by Dr, whom they ordered at gunpoint to stop treating for their colleague. They thn dragged the patient & stabbed him to death with a Bayonet attached to the muzzle of a rifle!
In 1 weeks, we have had soldiers killing @PoliceNG in Taraba; a motorcyclist in Abia; raping females in Ondo. barbaric doesn't begin to describe these latest allegations. This can't go on. The leadership of @HQNigerianArmy is failing itself & failing the country. They shd go
Evn worse, they fail their institution & the men & woman under their command. These violations are inexcusable & indefensible. That said, it seems quite clear tht there's an epidemic of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder #PTSD in @HQNigerianArmy that's both unacknowledged & untreated
@HQNigerianArmy Unroll pls, @threadreaderapp.

This is only a fraction of the tip of the proverbial iceberg. @realRochas makes bandits for candidates for canonization. U know @PoliceNG found the structure he built through contracts to himself awarded to his front entirely unusable & rightly rejected it?
Many ppl will wonder why or how it is that #RochasIscariot, aka @realRochas never completed any project in his 8 yrs as Imo Gov. "Not less than 25% of the contract sum will be paid to u as mobilization fee on signing the agreement" was his standard formula for contracts....
U just have to pause to take this in. Essentially, it is a contract to transmit the full contract funds to a contractor as mobilization without their ever having to break a sweat or break ground. Basically, it is a money laundering formula in plain sight all with executive seal.

So, 56 days after Inauguration day for his 2nd Term, @Mbuhari finally sent his #MinisterialList to @NGRSenate yesterday, which has with alacrity begun the #ministerialscreening today. #TheList can be mined for all kinds of data but some of its demographics are quite interesting
The combined age of the 43 on the #MinisterialList is 2,552 yrs. In a country with median age of 19 & lifeexpectancy hovering around 51, the average age of #TheList is 59.35 yrs. At 73, Kano's Sabo Nanono is the oldest nominee. He's one of 5 #MinisterialNominees aged 70 or more.
In addition to Nanono, Dr. Osagie Ehanire (Edo, 72); Gen. Bashir Magashi (Kano, 70); Alh. Mohammed Abdullahi, former SSG of Nassarawa State (70); & Sen. Tayo Alasoadura (Ondo, 70) are the other septuagenarians on #TheList.

One of #Nigeria's leading road transporters, @PMTNigeria has about 65 terminals in 26 states, employing thousands directly or indirectly & facilitating integration across the country. It's supposed to be 1 of those SMMEs that govt all over the country shd support
Early in 2018, as the rat-race towards #NigeriaDecides2019 got underway, the then governor of Imo State, @realRochas, approached the Chairman of @PMTNigeria, Chief for support to his partisan political plans. The company told the governor it did not do partisan politics
The week after the company rebuffed @realRochas, the Governor, in an act of reprisal, ordered the sealing up of the company's loading bay in Owerri, capital of Imo State. The company's workers & contractors in the State were put out of work. It was to be sealed for over 1 year.

1/ A few days ago, my mom sent me an text, “Hey Gina, did you see the Mark Zuckerberg news? He said Facebook was going to focus on privacy and groups. Hope you’re great!”
2/ Like my mother, I had heard the news. Unlike my mother, I happen to be an expert on building groups around interests and passions on platforms other than Facebook.
3/ I’m a passionate believer that there should be millions of different social networks for every conceivable interest, goal, purpose, and lifestyle.

BREAKING - Cole County judge Richard Callahan (former U.S. atty for EDMO), has blocked the enforcement of parts of #MO photo ID law.
bit.ly/2OgAhW7
Callahan - "the Court finds, with one important exception, that the voting scheme adopted by the General Assembly is within its constitutional prerogative."
That one exception is the affidavit you had to sign if using non-photo ID like utility bill.
Essentially, Callahan says, the language of the affidavit makes it sound like you HAVE to have a photo ID to vote when in reality, you can vote using non-photo ID and signing the affidavit.
SO.

Every state has different rules, conditions, and dates…which can get confusing.

It also means that in order to create a thorough voter registration thread, there can only be 1 tweet per state.

There will also (hopefully) be a 1-page unrolled version of this thread at the end.

Online - October 22nd
In-Person - October 22nd
