Police Bullet Left Me Paralysed, Shattered My Dreams — Ibadan Poly Graduate
On August 16, 2021, Nurudeen Azeez says his life changed forever after he was allegedly hit by a police bullet while returning home. The Ibadan Polytechnic graduate said he had just arrived from Lagos and was heading to his apartment on a motorcycle when he suddenly heard a gunshot and realised he had been shot.
According to Nurudeen, the officer who allegedly shot him asked him to stand up, but he was unable to move. He said the officers left the scene, and it was passersby, along with a colleague who recognised him, that came to his rescue. He says the incident left him paralysed and shattered the dreams he had worked so hard to build.

Only an Olóríburúkú person would look down on Ìyá Alákàrà and other petty traders. These are the same hardworking people running Nigeria's original "small-scale industries" long before fancy business buzzwords became popular.
Funny enough, many of us who now speak big English and sit in air-conditioned offices are products of the sacrifices of these traders. If not for the community of Ìyá Alákàràs, Mama Put operators, market women, and roadside hustlers, some of us would still be waiting for a miracle shipment from heaven.
I can never mock honest work. I owe a lot to the hardworking women and men who wake up before sunrise to keep Nigeria moving. They showed us that there are far better paths to success than becoming an Olóshó or a Yahoo boy.
So please, respect the people selling akara today and offer any little help you can. As for those mocking these jobs, don't worry, losers. The child these jobs are helping to feed today will be the one signing your children's employment letters tomorrow.
Yes oooo, the flag off of the 4th legacy project of Mr President will be taking place tomorrow at Akwanga, Nasarawa State
Today, Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum visited Minister Umahi to finalize plans for the official flag-off of the Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Biu–Maiduguri Superhighway
May Nigeria succeed!!
'Wage Bill Cripples Lagos Govt' on July 1, 1999. This is the Lagos Asiwaju inherited! Its cast in stone!
Where are the clowns quick to mention Former FCT? Where are the enviously bitter 'ignoramuses' throwing the name of Jakande around? Wasn't this same Lagos he governed? Awon Olote!
Truth is the only way!
TROOPS OF OPERATION HADIN KAI FOIL TERRORIST ASSAULT AT MALLAM FATORI, NEUTRALISE OVER 80 INSURGENTS INCLUDING HIGH-PROFILE COMMANDERS
Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) in the early hours of Wednesday successfully repelled a coordinated and simultaneous five-pronged terrorist attack on own positions at Mallam Fatori in Sector 3. The terrorists, who advanced in large numbers on foot and deployed armed drones in a desperate bid to breach the defences of locations of troops, particularly along the frontage of Bravo Company from the Duguri general area, were met with overwhelming resistance.
Having maintained full situational awareness of the battlespace, troops had anticipated the attack and deliberately prepared an offensive-defensive battle designed to decisively defeat and annihilate the assault elements. Through disciplined fire control, coordinated manoeuvre and superior tactical execution, the attackers were engaged, disrupted and routed in disarray, with no fewer than 80 terrorists neutralised during the engagement.
Additionally, the firefight was further reinforced by precision of close air support from the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI, complemented by rapid strike passes from allied Nigerien air assets, which compounded the pressure on the fleeing insurgents. Exploitation of the engagement area led to the recovery of a substantial cache of weapons, ammunition and combat enablers, including 52 AK-47 rifles, 8 PKT machine guns, 7 RPG tubes, 5 General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs), over 3,000 rounds of assorted 7.62mm ammunition, 21 RPG bombs, 9 locally fabricated IEDs, multiple magazines, communication radios and components of armed drones deployed by the terrorists.
Despite the scale and intensity of the assault, own troops recorded minimal casualties, with four soldiers wounded in action and promptly stabilised, while follow-on Battle Damage Assessment of air interdictions remains ongoing.
Significantly, the operation resulted in the neutralisation of three high-profile terrorist commanders, namely Mallam Abdulrahman Gobara, Mallam Ba Yuram and Abou Ayyuba, who were key figures in coordinating and leading the failed assault.
Furthermore, several other identified fighters were eliminated during the engagement, including Zarkawi, Ba Bunu, Rawa Fannami, Abowor Suwurti, Bulama Mil, Abu Aisha, Suleimana, Abu Rijal, Abu Ali, Abba Gana Kawiyya and Ahmodu Hirasama. The elimination of these commanders and fighters represents a severe disruption to the terrorist command structure and operational capability within the axis.
This decisive victory represents a major operational setback for the terrorist network and further underscores the growing combat effectiveness, resilience and tactical superiority of Operation HADIN KAI forces across the Theatre.
The failed attack clearly contradicts recent misleading propaganda and false narratives suggesting that troops are overwhelmed or experiencing setbacks. On the contrary, troops remain firmly in control of all locations, maintaining dominance through sustained offensive operations, effective joint force integration and high morale.
Operation HADIN KAI reassures the general public that the security situation in Mallam Fatori and its environs remains firmly under control, while urging citizens to remain vigilant and disregard unverified reports intended to undermine ongoing military operations. The Military High Command commended the troops for their gallantry and resilience, urging them to sustain the operational tempo.

In Nigeria's polarized politics, especially after the 2023 polls, Tinubu's background drew heavy scrutiny from opponents including Obidients over certificate and identity claims. This creates echo chambers where even verified parts (Mobil career, Senate stint, NADECO role) get dismissed amid broader distrust. Confirmation bias and social media amplify it across all sides.
This man is the legendary musician who has lived all his life in Oluwalogbon street ketu, behind Baba Ajefemi Ibukun Orisun Iye Church before his demise.
I remember when Baba had some issues in one of his tours in the United States, his last wife (Hus Favorite) who is of one of the southern Nigerian origin that I dont want to mentioned left him immediately and abandoned his son (A**) who was still a baby then, when she heard baba has been sentenced to 3 years in the US and another 2 here, only the old wives waited for baba.
Baba bounced back when he came back but the pikin who was left by his mom because of a lack of parental care, hmmm, I leave the story for another day!
This great man made me see the first guitar played by Sir Shina Peters back then in Oluwalogbon street ketu.
Baba died in 2017 as a born-again Christian. May his soul rest in perfect peace🙏🕊️
