"A lotus dies in dry land.
A fern doesn’t make it in the desert.
A cactus doesn’t survive in a rainforest.
A man who refuses to know himself will plant himself in the wrong soil his entire life."
I hate to say this but there’s just no alternative to X/Twitter. No platform allows for the spontaneity, the speed and scale of the network effect, and the rawness of dynamic ideas…

Team of heroes behind every NAF successful flight
Throwback to the celebration of the Nigerian Air Force’s 61st anniversary, we proudly commend the unwavering dedication of all NAF personnel—those who support and maintain platforms on the ground and those who take to the skies. Behind every successful mission lies a team of professionals whose efforts often go unseen but remain critical to national security.
In the past year alone, the NAF flew over 4,500 hours in 2,304 sorties for 1,974 counterterrorism and counterinsurgency missions, 4,670+ hours in 2,713 sorties for 2,610 anti-banditry operations, and 1,450 hours in 453 sorties for 366 counter-crude oil theft missions. Between January and June 2025, another 3,583 hours have already been recorded in 1,728 sorties. Every flight is a reflection of collective sacrifice, professionalism, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
The people’s Air Force, the NAF remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the nation, ensuring peace and security for all Nigerians.

“Mai Gaskiya, the People’s General, the Farmer President — your duty is done. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah Firdaus. May his life continue to inspire generations of Nigerians to serve with courage, conviction, and selflessness”. – Pres. Tinubu
Only a few Nigerians have had the rare privilege of standing at the intersection of our nation’s defining moments. Former President Muhammadu Buhari was one of them. From the battlefield to the ballot box, he fought for Nigeria’s stability with uncommon courage. When the nation called upon him to lead once more, he answered with grace, bearing the burden of our collective aspirations.
President Buhari was one of a kind. He was defined not just by the asceticism of his lifestyle but by his documented refusal to compromise on his values. He served as a ladder for the political ascent of many. To generations of leaders, including myself, he remains the archetype of the principled politician: disciplined, deliberate, and difficult to distract from purpose.
A man of the people, President Buhari’s life was a masterclass in servant leadership. He left office with the same modesty with which he entered it, committed to striking that difficult balance between proximity to the people and fidelity to national ideals.
Nigeria has lost more than a leader. We have lost a compass. In this moment of national mourning, may we find solace in the legacy he left behind. It is a legacy that reminds us that honesty, simplicity, and integrity are not relics of the past but blueprints for a more honourable future.
As one who came of age politically within the very structure shaped by his reputation and integrity, I must say this: I learnt much from him, and so did a generation of others. His life gave us a path, his values gave us a foundation, and his passing gives us a charge to carry forward the virtues that made him different.
May Allah forgive his shortcomings, reward his service, and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus. Ameen.
INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHIRRAJIUUN.
The family of the former president has announced the passing on of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, this afternoon in a clinic in London.
May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin.
"no leader is perfect" is supported by research indicating that the most effective leaders focus on leveraging their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses by collaborating with others, rather than attempting to be proficient in all areas.
The Falcon Eye has delivered a high return on investment when it comes to maritime security. It remains one of the smartest investment made by the Nigerian government in the past decade.
