This is refugee Nadia Nadim. She was born in Afghanistan. Her father was murdered by the Taliban when she was 11 years old, so her family fled to Denmark on the back of a truck.
Nadia has scored almost 200 goals in professional football — and represented the Danish national team 98 times.
She's completed medical school and is studying to become a reconstructive surgeon when her playing days are over.
She speaks 11 languages fluently and is on the Forbes list of Most Powerful Women in International Sports.
If you want to show your daughter a role model, show her Nadia Nadim and not BBNAIJA house mates.

Press Statement

APC Behind Twitter Ban and Moves to Suppress Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accuses the National Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being behind the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The PDP says revelations available to it show how APC leaders at one of their party’s national caucus meeting recommended the regulation of social media in Nigeria and how they have been plotting to obliterate internet-based interaction platforms such as Twitter.

The PDP recalls how the APC Caucus has been pushing bills in the National Assembly, particularly in November 2020, seeking to enforce a draconian regulation of social media so as to gag Nigerians from exposing its atrocities, including human right abuses, treasury looting, nepotism and sectional marginalization by the APC administration.

Nigerians can also recall how the APC administration in carrying out the agenda of its party have been using the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to suffocate the media space with humongous fines and threats of suspension of operating license on broadcast stations.

The PDP wants the APC to know that their plot against Nigerians have been exposed and cannot stand.

Our nation is known for her resilient citizenry and no leader or political party has been able to suppress the wishes of Nigerians.

The APC, in spite of its machinations, cannot vanquish Nigerians in their determination for a free and democratic nation where sovereignty belongs to the people.

Kola Ologbondiyan
National Publicity Secretary

The Nigerian Who Kept His Words:

1. “If I lose this election, of course I will go back to my village. The country is not my father’s estate.” -Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

2. “My ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.” - Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

3. “Let nobody rig for me.” -Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

4. “Yes, nothing will really ruffle me because I am willing and ready to serve but I am not desperate to serve. That is what keeps me going.” -Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

5. “All of us who want to hold offices from the least: a councilor of a ward or a chairman of a council, a member of the state House of Assembly or member of House of Representatives, Senate, Governor or the President - if all of us are always ready and willing to serve our people but we are not desperate in that our mission, then of course Nigeria will be a better place for all of us.”

I’m thankful to all my sisters, UN Women Leaders and the 124 Ambassadors in Geneva who signed the petition on calling out the racist & sexist remarks in this newspaper. It is important & timely that they’ve apologized.

We need to call out this behaviour when it happens. This is precisely what my book Women & Leadership co-authored with Julia Gillard talks about - the stereotypes women face when they take on leadership positions.

One of the resolutions of south west governors' meeting today at Akure should be immediate appointment of Chief Sunday Igboho as Corps Marshal ( overall commander) of Amotekun Corps to oversee all south west states from Lagos to Kwara/ Kogi for initial period of 5 years with the clear mandate or target to rid all Yorubaland and forests of crimes and all forms of criminality. His office should be in Ibadan with the paraphernalia of office equivalent to a police DIG .

The time to safeguard the present and future of Yorubaland is now and this man has displayed selflessness to the cause of Yoruba nation and people .
The time to act is NOW .
