David Mark Urges Reflection on Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day
As Nigeria marks its 64th independence anniversary, former Senate President David Mark is urging the nation to reflect on its past. In a statement from his Media Adviser, Paul Mumeh, Mark emphasized the importance of learning from past mistakes.
He acknowledged the challenges Nigeria faces, such as insecurity, poverty, disease, and underdevelopment, but also highlighted the country’s rich human and natural resources that can improve its situation if citizens work together. Mark recalled Nigeria’s difficult history, including the civil war and ongoing ethnic and religious conflicts, which he attributes to leadership failures and a lack of civic responsibility.
He warned against divisive language that exploits these differences, calling those who do so enemies of the country. Despite these challenges, Mark noted that Nigeria has made progress and encouraged political leaders to focus on the needs of the people. He expressed hope that with unity and cooperation, Nigeria can overcome its challenges and called for greater investments in businesses to promote economic growth and stability.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
