VIDEO: An Ebira amputee has publicly rejected a ₦1 million financial offer from Kogi humanitarian and political figure, Haj Aishat Oyiza Omade, saying he found her statement accompanying the offer "dehumanizing" and inconsistent with the dignity he believes persons living with disabilities deserve.

The controversy followed Omade's Facebook post in which she advised him to stop "turning himself into a beggar on social media" and instead develop a business plan, arguing that teaching someone to fish is better than giving them fish.

In a video response, the amputee, who says he requires about ₦1.3 million for a pending medical operation, declined the donation and urged Omade to instead give the ₦1 million to another woman battling a serious eye condition whom he believes is in greater need.

He also cautioned against future gifts accompanied by what he described as "ill statements," a response that has since ignited widespread debate on social media over the dignity of charitable giving.

A High Court in Lokoja has dismissed a suit challenging the appointment of Dr. Alaji Mathew Opaluwa as the Attah Igala, ruling that his nomination, approval and installation complied with the customs and traditions of the Igala Kingdom and relevant legal procedures.

Delivering judgment on Wednesday, Justice Etsu Muhammad Umar held that the claimant, Prince Abdullahi Adejo Aliyu Obaje, failed to prove that only direct sons of previous Attahs are eligible to ascend the throne. The court found that the selection process substantially complied with established traditional and administrative procedures, affirming that Opaluwa lawfully emerged from the recognized Aju Ame-Acho ruling house.

The judge also ruled that the judiciary has no authority to appoint or install traditional rulers, emphasizing that such responsibilities lie with customary institutions and the executive. The suit was dismissed in its entirety for lacking merit, reaffirming Dr. Opaluwa's position as the Attah Igala.
