For Isah Kamsulum, another resident of Shuwari, the fear is deeply personal. In 2015, he witnessed a man named Ba’ana slaughter fifteen people in Bama. Years later, Ba’ana resurfaced as a repentant, working with soldiers in the community. Isah’s nephew confronted him, enraged that someone who had killed his sibling now lived comfortably among them. Ba’ana killed the nephew.

Bandits invaded the community of a friend of mine in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The first time they struck, they targeted a family known for its successful businesses. They succeeded in kidn@pping two members of the family, and after several painful weeks in captivity, a huge ransom was paid to secure their freedom.

The attack left the entire community shaken. Fear spread across the land, and many people wondered who would be next.

But rather than surrender to fear, the community decided to act.

A series of meetings was convened to discuss the future of their ancestral homeland. Calls went out to every son and daughter of the community—politicians, business moguls, professionals, and other well-to-do indigenes at home and abroad.

They came together with a common purpose.

Not for celebrations.

Not for publicity.

Not for social prestige.

But for the protection of their people and the preservation of their homeland.

Resources were pooled. AK 47. Pump Actions. Assaut Rifles. Live Amunitions. Were all purchased.

Local security structures were strengthened.

Vigilantes, hunters, and community volunteers were better organized. Experienced individuals, including a retired soldier, offered their knowledge to train and guide to improve the community's readiness and coordination.

Months later, the bandits returned.

Confident from their earlier success, they entered the community under the cover of darkness, shooting at streetlights in an attempt to create panic and confusion.

This time, however, they met a community that was alert, organized, and prepared.

Resistance came from multiple directions. Bullets flew in torrents. The attackers were forced into a fierce confrontation. Some were k!lled, while others sustained injuries before retreating into the surrounding forests.

Since that encounter, the community has enjoyed a level of peace it had not experienced in a long time. The fear that once gripped the land gradually gave way to confidence, normalcy, and progress.

The lesson is not to promote violence. Rather, it is that communities that unite, organize, invest in their security, and work collectively are often better positioned to resist those who seek to térrorize them.

When people set aside their differences and come together for a common cause, they can achieve what once seemed impossible.

Security is not sustained by hope alone. It requires vigilance, cooperation, leadership, and a shared commitment to protecting the places we call home. If the government cannot give us total protection, we should stand up and defend ourselves.

For years, Boko Haram and ISWAP have fought a war far deeper than territory. It is a war over who gets to call themselves Muslims.

In their worldview, living under the Nigerian state can make you an unbeliever. Voting can make you an apostate. Refusing to migrate to their camps can become a death sentence.

How did extremist groups convince tens of thousands that ordinary citizens, including the Muslims they claim to fight for, teachers, students, journalists and poor farmers could become legitimate targets?

Tomorrow, Thursday, I examine the corrosive doctrine behind the violence, the history that shaped it, and the dangerous idea that only armed men can certify faith.

Nigeria’s security is not a government-only battle; it’s a collective fight. Criminals don’t operate from another planet. They live among us. They move in our neighbourhoods, markets, and communities.

The best intelligence will always come from vigilant citizens who are willing to report suspicious movements and activities. Let’s stop the “it’s not my business” mentality. If we see something, we must say something. Working hand-in-hand with security agencies is not snitching, it’s nation-building.

Government cannot do it alone. We must do it together. Report. Stay alert. Protect our communities.

Commercial vehicles are key to CNG adoption, but uptake has been hindered by a lack of CNG stations. While there were talks of free conversions for commercial vehicles, most owners have actually paid about 1.3 million for the conversion.

[Osas @osazenoo]

The greed of Nigerians is one reason prices remain high. President Tinubu’s free CNG conversion initiative for commercial vehicles was designed to cushion the impact of higher fuel prices and reduce transport costs.

Unfortunately, many beneficiaries still charge passengers the same fares as operators running on petrol, preventing consumers from enjoying the full benefits of the program.

[citykush @citykush1]

This one genuinely had me questioning my own comprehension skills.

A straightforward question: how would you harmonise and streamline taxes for MSMEs that are currently facing multiple layers of taxation from state and local levels?

A simple question on tax harmonisation.

Ladies and gentlemen, please listen carefully to Peter Obi’s response. 😭

At some point I started wondering whether I was the one missing something.

Or is something wrong with me ?

Watch till end, those men couldn’t help but laugh😩😩

The traditional ruler of the Olayinka community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Oba Salman Olatunji Aweda, has sadly been confirmed dead while being held by bandits.

His d£ath is coming after his abductors reportedly received ₦21 million in cash, two new motorcycles, and a jerry can of petrol as conditions for his release.
