Nigerian Activist Agena Robert Warns ‘If U.S. Can Invade Venezuela, They Can Invade Nigeria,’ Criticizes Trump as Dictator

Nigerian human rights activist Agena A. Robert has condemned the United States over its actions against Venezuela, labeling Washington’s foreign policy as hypocritical, imperialistic, and a threat to global sovereignty.

In a statement titled “The Hypocrisy of Empire: Why the U.S. Assault on Venezuela Is a Threat to Us All,” Robert argued that U.S. claims of promoting democracy are a pretext for controlling Venezuela’s resources. He accused U.S. President Donald Trump of acting like a dictator and criticized double standards in international relations, including tolerance for elites and selective criminalization.

Robert warned that developing nations, including Nigeria, are at risk of foreign intervention disguised as benevolence, citing U.S., Israeli, Chinese, Russian, and European influence under various pretexts. He called for countries in the Global South to resist domination and uphold sovereignty, stressing that Venezuela’s experience should serve as a wake-up call.

The activist emphasized solidarity with Venezuela and the importance of defending self-determination against neocolonial exploitation.

Femi Falana Urges U.S. Congress to Sanction Donald Trump Over Illegal Venezuela Invasion, Calls on UN to Uphold International Law

Nigerian human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, has called on the U.S. Congress to sanction President Donald Trump for an alleged illegal invasion of Venezuela, warning it violates international law and the United Nations Charter.

Falana condemned Trump’s reported military action in Caracas, which resulted in the overthrow of President Nicolás Maduro, civilian casualties, and the capture of Maduro and his wife on terrorism and narcotics charges. He described the operation as part of “reckless gangsterism” in Trump’s second term, citing previous unauthorized military strikes in Iran and Nigeria.

The lawyer accused the Trump administration of attempting to install a transition regime in Venezuela to seize its oil and gas resources, effectively turning the country into a U.S. colony. Falana emphasized that ideological differences with Maduro’s government do not justify military intervention or regime change.

He urged the U.S. judiciary to reject Trump’s attempts to use domestic courts to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty and called on the United Nations to demand justice and uphold the UN Charter. Falana also criticized the international community’s double standards, stressing that silence undermines global justice.

US Congress Should Sanction Donald Trump Over Illegal War On Venezuela, Bombing Of Nigeria And Iran, And ‘Abduction’ Of President Maduro — Femi Falana Writes

Renowned Nigerian human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has called on the United States Congress to urgently call President Donald Trump to order over what he described as a pattern of reckless, unconstitutional, and lawless military actions across several countries.

In the opinion piece, Falana accused Trump, in his second term, of engaging in “gangsterism” by launching military attacks without the constitutionally required approval of the US Congress. He cited the bombing of Iran, threats against Nigeria, airstrikes in north-western Nigeria on December 25, 2025, and the most recent invasion of Venezuela as clear violations of both US constitutional provisions and international law.

Falana condemned the bombing of Caracas, the overthrow of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and the killing of unarmed civilians, describing the capture and prosecution of Maduro and his wife in a US court as an unprecedented abuse of international legal norms. He argued that the abduction and extraordinary rendition of a sitting president of a sovereign nation amounts to a blatant breach of international law and the United Nations Charter.

The senior lawyer further alleged that the establishment of a US-backed transition regime in Venezuela is aimed at seizing the country’s vast oil and gas resources, effectively turning Venezuela into a new American colony. He urged the US Congress to sanction Trump for the illegal invasion and called on the US judiciary to reject what he described as an attempt to use domestic courts to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty.

Falana also criticised the hypocrisy and double standards of the international community, urging the United Nations to stand firmly with the people of Venezuela and demand justice and accountability. He warned that failure to uphold the principles of the UN Charter would further erode the credibility of the global body and weaken international law.

IPOB Accuses UK of Double Standards Over Abd el-Fattah’s Release as Nnamdi Kanu Remains Detained Despite Court Orders

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the United Kingdom of applying double standards in its foreign policy after British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah returned to the UK following a pardon by Egyptian authorities, while IPOB leader and British-Nigerian citizen, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, remains detained in Nigeria. IPOB said the British government actively intervened in Abd el-Fattah’s case, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly celebrating his freedom, but has shown little urgency in Kanu’s situation despite multiple court rulings condemning his arrest, rendition from Kenya in 2021, and continued detention.

In a statement by spokesperson Emma Powerful, IPOB described Britain’s response as discriminatory, citing judgments from Nigerian courts, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, and a Kenyan High Court, all of which declared Kanu’s detention unlawful and ordered his release or compensation. The group also linked the UK’s stance to historical injustices against the Igbo people and called on the UK, United Nations, African Union, European Union, United States, and global human rights bodies to intensify pressure on Nigeria for Kanu’s immediate release, insisting that justice and protection of citizens must be equal and consistent.

Ibadan Airport Shutdown Exposes Double Standards as Government Officials Enjoy Exclusive Access

This follow-up report by Dr. Oludare Ogunlana reveals how the Federal Government continues to deny commercial operations at Ibadan Airport while secretly using the facility for VIP movements. Despite public claims that the airport is unsafe, new images and official documents show aircraft landing, ground staff working, and directives authorizing flights for the First Lady’s events. The report argues that the airport is fully operational but restricted to political elites, forcing ordinary Nigerians to rely on the dangerous Lagos–Ibadan expressway. It questions the government’s justification for selective access and calls for fairness, transparency, and immediate reopening of the airport for public use.

In this opinion piece, Bayo Oluwasanmi argues that Nnamdi Kanu’s life imprisonment is another example of Nigeria’s deeply flawed and unequal criminal justice system, one that frequently convicts innocent people while protecting violent extremists.
Key Points


Nigeria’s justice system is plagued by wrongful convictions, fabricated evidence, unreliable witnesses, and a lack of accountability for police and prosecutors.


Oluwasanmi says the system applies double standards: harsh and biased against people like Nnamdi Kanu, but lenient toward Boko Haram and Fulani terrorists, who often receive government-backed “rehabilitation” rather than prosecution.


He argues that Kanu’s conviction was predictable, not because of evidence, but because the justice system is “rotten to its core.”


The contrasting treatment of separatists and terrorists highlights what he describes as unequal justice, inconsistent law enforcement, and systemic bias.


The author warns that such injustice erodes public trust, fuels anger, and can trigger social unrest, rebellion, and rising crime.


He concludes that “Nigeria is where there is no justice,” adding that without justice, true peace is impossible.


The piece portrays Kanu as a victim of injustice and uses his case to criticize Nigeria’s broader legal and political structures.

BREAKING NEWS:
U.S. President Donald Trump has designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over the ongoing killings of Christians across the nation.

However, many have criticized the decision as one-sided, noting that both Christians and Muslims continue to suffer from violence in Nigeria.

Observers have also condemned the U.S. government’s role in supplying weapons used in the killing of innocent men, women, and children in Palestine, where Israeli strikes — backed by U.S. support — have caused widespread devastation.

Critics say the move exposes America’s double standards on human rights and global justice.

Lere Olayinka Slams Atiku Abubakar, Calls Him a “Hypocrite” Over Support for Nnamdi Kanu Protest

Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for supporting protests calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

In a post shared via X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Olayinka accused Atiku of double standards, describing him as a hypocrite who failed to publicly condemn the brutal murder of Deborah Samuel, a Sokoto student lynched in 2022 over alleged blasphemy.

He wrote:

“This same Atiku that failed to speak against the murder of Deborah in Sokoto then ooo.
Hypocrite @atiku did a tweet condemning Deborah’s murder but quickly deleted it.”


Olayinka’s remarks come amid renewed calls for Kanu’s release. The IPOB leader, who has been in DSS detention since 2021 following his arrest and extradition from Kenya, continues to face terrorism-related charges before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Kanu’s lawyers have repeatedly raised concerns about his deteriorating health, while political figures like Atiku have recently voiced support for his unconditional release — a move Olayinka now criticizes as politically motivated.

Today's Headlines: Natasha Accuses FG of Double Standard; US Vows Visa Ban on Corrupt Nigerian VIPs.

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has accused the Federal Government of political persecution and double standards over the six-count criminal defamation charges filed against her. The lawmaker, representing Kogi Central, argued in court that while her petitions against Senate President Godswill Akpabio were ignored, the government rushed to prosecute her based on complaints from Akpabio and former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello. Her legal team, led by four Senior Advocates of Nigeria, described the charges as unconstitutional, frivolous, and aimed at silencing opposition voices.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who pleaded not guilty in June and was granted bail on self-recognition, insists the case is a misuse of the criminal justice system. She contends that defamation is civil in nature and should not be criminalised. Meanwhile, a coalition of over 350 women’s rights groups has petitioned the United Nations, alleging gender-based discrimination in her suspension from the Senate. The activists argue that the standoff undermines women’s participation in politics and breaches Nigeria’s international obligations. The matter resumes in court on October 20

Israel DMW roasts Phyna amidst clash with Verydarkman.

Davido’s logistics aide, Isreal DMW, has weighed in on the ongoing feud between Phyna and social media critic, Verydarkman (VDM), berating the reality star for being a hypocrite.

The drama began after VDM accused Phyna of betrayal, claiming she turned against him despite seeking his help during her public faceoff with Dangote Group, following her sister’s accident involving one of the company’s trucks.

Reacting via his Instagram story, Isreal accused Phyna of double standards. He recalled how she once leaked his phone number online, but is now slamming VDM for allegedly leaking their private conversations.

“You said VDM leaked out all the private discussions you had with him. You did same to me. You insulted and called me unprintable names. VDM even covered your number, did you cover mine? Enjoy the sh!t,” Isreal wrote.

Aviation Expert Slams Double Standards in K1 the Ultimate Airport Incident

President of the Aviation Safety Roundtable Initiative, Air Commodore Ademola Onitiju (Rtd), has questioned why Fuji music icon Wasiu Ayinde, aka K1 the Ultimate, was not treated with the same urgency and legal process as Miss Comfort Emmanson in a similar aviation security violation.

Speaking on Arise TV, Onitiju said the disparity in handling the two cases raises serious concerns about equal enforcement of aviation rules.

> “The rules should apply to everybody, regardless of gender or status. I really cannot fathom why the same thing done to Comfort Emmanson was not done to K1,” he stated.


The aviation veteran recalled commending the swift legal action in Emmanson’s case, where she was promptly arraigned and remanded. However, in K1’s situation, he alleged glaring lapses — including the musician bypassing security checks with an oversized liquid container, far above the 100ml limit.

Onitiju criticized aviation security officials for allegedly giving K1 special treatment due to his celebrity status, allowing him into restricted tarmac areas and even granting him direct access to the pilot in command — a move he described as a serious security breach.

He insisted that proper protocol should have seen K1 immediately removed from the tarmac, restrained if necessary, as his presence posed a significant threat to civil aviation safety.

Nursing Mother, Baby Held in Nigerian Prison Months After Protest Arrest

The Nigerian Police have continued to detain a nursing mother, Jamila Ibrahim, and her infant daughter at the Suleja Correctional Centre months after their arrest during a peaceful protest linked to the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) in Abuja.

Jamila was arrested on March 28 at Wuse Market while carrying her one-month-old baby. Family sources say she is not a member of the IMN but had joined the protest voluntarily. Since then, she has reportedly been held without trial or formal charges, with no notification given to her family at the time of arrest.

Sources within the Shiite group and her family claim that both mother and child remain in custody in degrading conditions, sparking outrage over the treatment of the infant, who has committed no crime.

The protest, part of the 2025 International Quds Day procession, was violently disrupted by the Nigerian Army’s Guard Brigade using live ammunition, leaving several dead and many injured. The IMN has condemned the crackdown, accusing the government of double standards—publicly criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza while attacking pro-Palestine demonstrators at home.

So far, 380 protesters, including women and children, are believed to have been arrested, while the full casualty count remains unknown.

Double Standards in Love: When Men Can’t Take What They Dish Out

Many men expect unwavering loyalty while putting women through emotional pain, promising to “change someday.” But when the roles reverse, they walk away, calling her disloyal. That’s not strength—it’s hypocrisy.

Love should come with mutual respect, not double standards. If you can’t take it, don’t give it.

''I'M NOT A CHRISTIAN ANYMORE'' FALZ REVEALS NEW FOUNDED RELIGION

In a world where faith is often reduced to rules and religion to rigidity, Nigerian rapper and social critic Falz the Bahd Guy is pushing the conversation into new, thought-provoking terrain.



Reacting to the bombshell he dropped online in his official X account, formerly known as Twitter, where he says that “fornication is no sin.” He stated “I believe the concept of sin is manipulated,” “We judge people for things that are deeply human, while ignoring the corruption, lies, and injustice around us.”

Falz’s view on fornication is not about glorifying sex. It’s about confronting the way religion has been weaponized, not just to control behavior, but to shame people into silence, guilt, and fear.

Falz represents a growing population of young Africans who are spiritual but not religious seekers who crave meaning, but are turned off by the double standards they see in churches and mosques.

Then, doubling down on his recently adopted values in a recent interview with Arise News, he clarified: “I’m not a Christian. I just believe in the religion of love.”

His “religion of love” is a rejection of legalism, not of morality. “I’m not a Christian,” he said. “I don’t follow religious rules. But I believe in something higher, and that’s love. Treating people right. Living with honesty. That’s my faith.”

For him, it’s not about going to church or quoting scripture. It’s about living with integrity, choosing empathy, and rejecting judgment.

By declaring that he practices “the religion of love,” Falz is rewriting the spiritual script, not with arrogance, but with intentionality. In a society often torn by tribalism, religious wars, and moral policing.

Activist VDM slammed the EFCC's perceived double standards, reacting to a statement by the commission’s boss who said, “Nobody should condemn Tompolo for mere allegations.” VDM fired back, “But you arrest others with mere allegations! Shameless organisation.”
