AI generated    Although embedding RFID chips in paper has been demonstrated , no major currency in the world currently uses it as a standard feature. For example, the Bank of England — issuer of British pound notes — says clearly that their banknotes do not have RFID or any tracking technology embedded.  There are microchips (specifically small RFID-type chips) that could be embedded into paper, including banknotes, but in practice they are rarely used (if at all), and there are serious technical, cost and privacy challenges. Here’s a breakdown of the situation. ✅ What technology exists (or has existed) for embedding chips in paper/currency-like objects A major electronics company, Hitachi, developed a micro-RFID chip (sometimes called a “µ-chip”) small enough to embed in paper, documents or banknotes. Researchers (for instance at North Dakota State University, NDSU) have demonstrated methods — such as a laser-based assembly technique (called “LEAP”) — for embeddin...

 For nearly two years, Ndon-Eyo II in Etinan LGA of Akwa Ibom State lived under fear. Once peaceful, the village became a hub for drug activities and kidnappers. Over 90% of residents—including the village head—fled for safety. When a Village Falls Silent: The Untold Story of Ndon-Eyo II   Ndon-Eyo II in ELocal Etinan Government Area of Akwa Ibom State endured one of the darkest chapters in its history. A once peaceful and orderly community was overtaken by hoodlums who converted the area into a hub for drug activities and a haven for kidnappers. The security situation deteriorated so severely that more than 90 percent of residents—including the village head—were forced to abandon their homes in search of safety. In response, the state government deployed a joint security task force to restore law and order and, where possible, effect arrests. However, efforts were repeatedly frustrated. Each time security operatives approached the village, informants within the community al...

Social Media Clampdown in Nigeria: A Threat to Freedom of Speech In  August 2025, Nigeria entered a new and troubling phase in its digital landscape as the government tightened its grip on social media through the enforcement of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act.  While presented as a measure to maintain order and security, these sweeping regulations strike at the heart of freedom of speech and the right of citizens to freely express themselves online. From the Twitter Ban to the Cybercrimes Act This crackdown is not without precedent. Nigerians still recall the 2021 indefinite suspension of Twitter (now X) after the platform flagged a presidential tweet. That ban silenced millions and highlighted the state’s willingness to suppress critical voices. Though the suspension was lifted in 2022 under strict government conditions, the precedent was clear: online expression in Nigeria exists at the mercy of those in power. Enforcement of the Cybercrimes Act (2025) T...

Tinubu’s Government is More Concerned with Politicians’ Salaries than Nigerians’ Survival   BBC pigeon Tinubu’s Government Pushes for Higher Salaries for Politicians While Nigerians Suffer The Nigerian government, under President Bola Tinubu and the ruling APC, is moving to review and possibly increase the salaries of politicians—including the president, ministers, governors, and lawmakers. This decision has sparked widespread anger across the country. The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), led by Mohammed Shehu, argues that politicians’ current salaries are “too small, unrealistic, and outdated.” According to him, President Tinubu earns ₦1.5 million monthly (around $977), while ministers take home less than ₦1 million. Shehu insists these amounts are not enough for leaders overseeing a country of over 200 million people. He compared this with heads of agencies and the Central Bank Governor, who reportedly earn 10–20 times more than ministers or the Atto...

Vote Buying in Kaduna: A Symptom of Nigeria’s Deeper Electoral Corruption The arrest of a man in Kaduna with ₦25 million cash allegedly meant for vote buying during the elections is yet another reminder of the deep rot in Nigeria’s democratic system. While the police deserve commendation for swift action, the bigger question remains: will this lead to real accountability or fade into the endless list of electoral scandals? The Anatomy of Vote Buying Vote buying has become a disturbing constant in Nigerian elections. Parties and candidates openly deploy cash, food, or material inducements to sway voters. In a country where poverty is widespread, many citizens view such offers as a temporary lifeline. But what often goes unspoken is that this practice transforms elections from a contest of ideas into a marketplace of influence . When cash replaces conscience, leaders emerge not by popular legitimacy but by financial power. Such leaders, having “invested” in securing votes, often ...

Bandits Are Taking Over Nigeria Gradually, But the Government are busy campaign for 2027 The disturbing report that communities in northern Nigeria are now negotiating directly with jihadist groups exposes a deep failure of governance and a dangerous erosion of state authority. For years, the Nigerian government has promised to tackle insecurity in the North—particularly terrorism and banditry—but this latest development proves that these promises have largely remained unfulfilled. Instead of receiving protection and justice from the state, citizens are being forced into dangerous compromises, making pacts with violent non-state actors in a desperate bid for survival. This form of “self-managed peace” might provide short-term relief, but it comes at a steep long-term cost. ⚠️ Dangers of Government Negligence: Legitimization of Terror Groups: When communities negotiate with jihadists, these groups gain a dangerous form of legitimacy and power. They begin to act as parallel author...

Abuja public primary school teachers are not paid for over 9 months.  What misplace priority ! A Train for One: What Japan’s One-Girl Station Teaches Nigeria About Good Governance and Educational Commitment By Ndon-eyo2 Social Commentator and Political analyst In a small, snow-covered town in Hokkaido, Japan, a nearly abandoned train station became a global symbol of compassion, social responsibility, and the power of government policies that prioritize people over profit.

  🚨 NIGERIANS REJECT USSD AIRTIME CHARGES — CALL ON CBN, NCC, AND PRESIDENT TINUBU TO REVERSE POLICY Date: June 27, 2025 For Immediate Release Lagos, Nigeria — A wave of public concern has erupted following a recent directive that mandates all USSD (e.g., *945#) banking charges be deducted from mobile airtime , not from users' bank accounts. This policy, jointly implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) , takes effect June 27, 2025 , and has been described as anti-poor, regressive, and contradictory to Nigeria’s cashless policy goals . The new policy means that Nigerians without airtime—regardless of how much money they have in their bank accounts— cannot access essential banking services like transferring money, checking balances, or recharging phones. This change is a direct blow to the country’s financial inclusion agenda, particularly affecting rural dwellers, the elderly, and low-income citizens. 🎙️ State...

At the forefront of that fearless journalism was  Bayo Onanuga , then Editor-in-Chief of The News. His work symbolized the power of the press to hold even the highest public officials accountable. From Fighting Forgery to Shielding It: A Sad Shame By Michael Ogueke michaelogueke@gmail.com On June 3, 1999, Nigeria witnessed a defining moment in the fight for political integrity. The then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ibrahim Salisu Buhari , was convicted of forgery and perjury by an Abuja magistrate court after confessing to lying under oath. He had falsified his age—claiming to be 36 when he was just 29—and submitted forged certificates from Ahmadu Bello University , the University of Toronto , and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) .  This scandal would have remained hidden if not for the courageous work of The News magazine , whose bombshell report titled “The Face of a Liar” blew the lid open. Buhari responded by suing the magazine for ₦500 million. ...

A Nation on the Brink: APC Government and the Weaponization of Lawlessness What kind of country demolishes a man’s property without notice , without a name , and without a court order ? The answer is sadly simple — a country spiraling into state-sponsored anarchy , under the watch of a government that has turned impunity into official policy. The harrowing account shared by Mr. Peter Obi is not just a personal ordeal — it is a loud alarm bell about the growing rot in Nigeria’s governance structure under the APC-led administration. We are witnessing a government that has elevated lawlessness to statecraft , and whose institutions no longer serve the people but rather intimidate, harass, and silence them. "If this level of lawlessness can happen to someone with a registered company and legitimate means, what hope does the ordinary Nigerian have?"  Peter Obi Facebook page That question slices through the heart of the matter. If a former presidential candidate, businessm...
