‘Your Useless brain is Deranged’ – Nigerians blast Lai Mohammed over comments on Fulani Herdsmen
In what seems like an insult, the honourable minister for information and culture, Lai Muhammed for has received lot of blackash from angry Nigerians who are not satisfied with his statements on the recent attacks by the herdsmen in Benue.
He was recorded to have told BBC that Indegenous People of Biafra, IPOB posses more threat to Nigeria’s National Security than Fulani Herdsmen.
One of the top politicians angry with him with the statement is Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
In Chief Kayode’s reaction via his Twitter handle, he wrote
‘’Lai Mohammed told @BBCWorld that IPOB are terrorists who pose a much greater threat to national unity than the Fulani herdsmen. He is sick and depraved. Both he and Buhari will answer to God and the Nigerian people for the innocent blood that their herdsmen have shed!
Boko Haram bombs its victims whilst the Fulani herdsmen cut theirs to pieces. Dont be fooled: the same hidden hand controls the two. Who refuses to arrest Fulani herdsmen? Who said “an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on north”? Who said it was wrong to proscribe Boko Haram?
Furthermore, several comments from readers online are screenshot below :

| Someone needs to weld and sew this man’s mouth together. He’s a great embrassment. Anytime he opens that filthy, vapid hole on his face to speak, what comes forth is usually nothing but unbridled lies, propaganda and senseless balderdash. God just be creating anybody sha

| jerryunit48: You guys keep saying sheeet about this man but he is actually making sense He occasionally makes sense, like right now. Fundamentally, a union between the South and the North can never prosper. It is time to cut our losses either the mild way by restructuring, or the harsh way by cutting the North lose into their landlocked wilderness to see how best they can survive on their own. 1 Like |

| Masterclass32: If lai mohammed actually said this, then he’s not only senseless, he’s downright evil. How many people did IPOB kill? Yet you are quick to proscribe them, while fulani herdsmen that have massacred people in their thousands still roam free. ipob is trying to remove food from the mouth of the British landlord and her fulani caretaker. 1 Like |

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend
Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined to 15.10 per cent in January 2026, marking a significant drop from 27.61 per cent recorded in January 2025, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.
The report also showed that month-on-month inflation recorded a deflationary trend of –2.88 per cent, representing a 3.42 percentage-point decrease compared to December 2025. Analysts say the development signals easing price pressures across key sectors of the economy.
Food inflation stood at 8.89 per cent year-on-year, down from 29.63 per cent in January 2025. On a month-on-month basis, food prices declined by 6.02 per cent, reflecting lower costs in several staple commodities.
The data suggests a sustained downward trajectory in inflation over the past 12 months, pointing to improving macroeconomic stability.
The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently attributed recent economic adjustments to ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising prices, boosting agricultural output, and strengthening domestic supply chains.
Economic analysts note that while the latest figures indicate progress, sustaining the downward trend will depend on continued policy discipline, exchange rate stability, and improvements in food production and distribution.
The January report provides one of the clearest indications yet that inflationary pressures, which surged in early 2025, may be moderating.

GTBank Launches Quick Airtime Loan at 2.95%
Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO Plc, Africa’s leading financial services group, today announced the launch of Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that gives customers instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring customers can stay connected when it matters most.
In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. It can mean missed opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the very moment when funds are tight, and options are limited. Quick Airtime Loan was created to solve this problem, offering customers instant access to airtime on credit, directly from their bank. With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from ₦100 and up to ₦10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.
For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.
Commenting on the product launch, Miriam Olusanya, Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd, said: “Quick Airtime Loan reflects GTBank’s continued focus on delivering digital solutions that are relevant, accessible, and built around real customer needs. The solution underscores the power of a connected financial ecosystem, combining GTBank’s digital reach and lending expertise with the capabilities of HabariPay to deliver a smooth, end-to-end experience.
