Oluremi Tinubu Urges Nigerians to Donate Blood and Save Lives
As the world celebrates Blood Donor Day, Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has called on citizens to donate blood and help save lives. Speaking on the 2025 theme, Give blood, Give hope: together we save lives, she said it reflects the powerful message that each donation brings hope to those in urgent need.
World Blood Donor Day was launched by the World Health Organization in 2004 to raise awareness about the importance of safe blood, encourage voluntary donations, and honour those who donate without expecting anything in return.
Marking the day in Abuja, the First Lady participated in the City Marathon Walk from Millennium Park to Eagle Square. She was represented by Hajiya Nana Shettima, wife of the Vice President, who echoed the First Lady’s appeal for more Nigerians to become regular, safe blood donors.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
