“I have successfully exported prayers to China. Good news is coming our way.

Trade by barter. Nigeria, the change is coming.” The video comes amid VDM’s recent clash with Apostle Arome, whom he criticised over remarks about Nigeria and the country’s development. Arome had spoken about Nigeria’s role as a nation of revival and questioned the emphasis some Nigerians place on comparing the country with nations developing engines and other technological innovations.

VDM took issue with the remarks, arguing that Nigeria should focus more on innovation, creativity and technological development rather than relying primarily on religious expectations. His latest video from China appeared to combine the themes of prayer and international engagement, with VDM joking about “exporting” prayers and describing the development as “trade by barter.”

The activist did not provide further details about what he meant by “good news” or the specific changes he expected to see in Nigeria.

The footage has generated widespread reactions, with social media users expressing concern over the destruction of farmers’ crops and the potential impact on livelihoods and food production. Some commenters criticised the alleged destruction of the cassava farm, while others used the incident to raise broader concerns about conflicts between farmers and cattle herders in Nigeria.

The NARD National President, Dr Emmanuel Ogar, read the resolutions. The resident doctors expressed concern over the slow pace of implementation of agreements reached between the association and the Federal Government, saying prolonged delays had become unacceptable. They demanded immediate action on outstanding issues relating to remuneration, career progression, professional allowances, excessive workload, manpower shortages and the general welfare of resident doctors.

The association called for the immediate implementation of agreements reached with the Federal Government, particularly those relating to improved conditions of service and professional development. It also urged the government to conclude the review of existing remuneration and professional salary structures for doctors, saying the current framework no longer adequately reflected prevailing economic realities.

Wike is a Peoples Democratic Party member serving in a federal government led by an APC president. The former Rivers governor was appointed FCT minister by Tinubu after the 2023 election, despite having remained a prominent PDP politician and having contested the presidency under the opposition party. While some APC state chapters welcomed Wike’s support for Tinubu and said they would receive him if he decided to defect to the ruling party, others opposed the coalition outright, arguing that a politician could not simultaneously support the APC at the presidential level and candidates of other parties in governorship and legislative elections.

The development has exposed a growing disagreement within the President’s political camp over how support for his 2027 re-election should be organised and, more importantly, who should control the political structures through which such support is mobilised. The latest dispute was triggered by Zamfara State Governor and APC governor, Dauda Lawal, who told Wike to choose between joining the APC and remaining with the Rainbow Coalition.
