Whether it is Christian or Muslim, the reality is that there is an ongoing GENOCIDE in the Benue, on the Jos Plateau, and in the Middle Belt. The ethnoreligious identities of the terrorists are not unknown, and the ethnicity of the victims are not in any doubt..🇳🇬🤔
On Nov 29, 2024 — exactly one year ago — when the Nigerian army announced my arrest at a crude oil bunkering site, nearly everyone thought the story was “dead”.
Only that the story is alive, and now you will read it.
My next undercover investigation for @fijnigeria is ready.
“The first riot I encountered was the Zaria riot where people were killed and your only crime was that you were Igbo.”
- Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo on the Christian genocide in Nigeria.
If the federal Government of Nigeria is unable to fight and defeat armed and genocidal Jihadism to protect the Christian people of Nigeria, as it failed to protect the Muslim communities in the North, the only remaining option to save lives and stop genocide, is to grant Nigeria's Christian south its right for self determination and assist the Muslim north in defeating Boku Haram and the other Jihadists.
One or the other but leaving millions of people without protection is not an option.
It is shocking that the UN was supporting the re-integration of terrorists into communities in Nigeria.
In May 3 2022 (Reuters) - “U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday he fully supported moves to expand facilities to reintegrate surrendering Islamist insurgents in northeastern Nigeria because it was a key step to achieving peace in Africa's most populous nation.”

How do you integrate terrorists into communities as a key to peace? When in europe terrorists spend their lifetimes in Jail?
Why sponsor/support such evil policy for Africans?
Many Nigerians are in IDP camps and the UN has continued to support the integration of terrorists in Nigeria.
Do they not know that terrorist integrated back into society continue to kill people and take over their land?
Or was it deliberate strategy 🤔
EVER heard of the term “Problem Reaction Solution? Well, it’s basically an “occult” unipolar world order control mechanism that implies you have to create a problem first, get the people to react to it & out of desperation cry out for solution, then you position yourself as the only Saviour or solution to the problem that you intentionally created. And when you come in to provide solution, you subdue and conquer the people.
So, PROBLEM (non-existent, but you created it), REACTION (the people cry out: come and help us! We are doomed without your help!), and SOLUTION (you show up to help, but you’re really not helping with anything! Rather, you’re conquering). It’s all a game.
Now, with this in mind, who do you think owns and sponsors all these terrorist groups in AFRICA that they all wanna “save us” from?
The Imperative of Diversifying Port Development in Nigeria
I have noted the Federal Government’s recent approval of $1 billion (₦1.5 trillion) for the modernisation of the Apapa and TinCan Island Ports in Lagos. While any effort to improve efficiency and embrace technology in our maritime sector is commendable, such an initiative must be guided by accountability, transparency, and equity for all Nigerians. However, this development once again exposes a longstanding concentration of our port development only in Lagos.
Nigeria’s infrastructure investment remains excessively concentrated in Lagos, often at the expense of other strategic ports such as Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Onne. If fully developed, these ports could enhance productivity, drive trade, create jobs, and open new economic corridors that would lift millions out of poverty across the federation.
Around the world, countries that have decentralised port development are reaping immense economic benefits. Vietnam operates over 300 ports — from Haiphong in the north to Da Nang in the centre and Ho Chi Minh City in the south — ensuring nationwide connectivity. Indonesia boasts about 111 commercial ports distributed across its territory to guarantee balanced access to trade. South Africa maintains eight major seaports — from Durban and Richards Bay on the Indian Ocean to Cape Town and Saldanha Bay on the Atlantic — reflecting a vision of maritime inclusion. Egypt runs about 15 commercial ports along both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea coasts; Morocco has about 14 ports open to international trade, including Casablanca, Tangier Med, and Agadir, distributed along its Atlantic and Mediterranean shorelines; and Algeria operates about 10 commercial ports spread across its extensive Mediterranean coast. Even Ghana, with only two major ports — Tema and Takoradi — ensured they are geographically decentralised on opposite ends of its coastline.
These nations have grasped a simple truth: no country seeking to maximise its blue economy concentrates all maritime activities in a single city. Decentralisation reduces congestion, improves logistics, enhances national security, and promotes balanced economic growth. In Nigeria, however, more than 70 per cent of port activities are still concentrated in Lagos, burdening the city with chronic congestion, high demurrage costs, environmental degradation, and delays that discourage investors and inflate the cost of goods nationwide. Developing other ports is, therefore, not merely an infrastructural necessity but a national imperative. Revitalising Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Onne would decongest Lagos, reduce shipping costs, attract investment, create employment, and stimulate regional economies.
As one who understands the critical link between infrastructure, trade, and national growth, I believe that a truly national blue economy must carry every region along. Beyond physical infrastructure, reform must also address corruption, reduce bureaucracy, and embrace technology to create a seamless, paperless port system that enhances turnaround time and global competitiveness. If prudently managed, the Lagos modernisation project could become a model for broader maritime transformation — a reference point from which similar development radiates across the nation.
Now more than ever, Nigeria must rebuild with fairness, guided by equity, integrity, and a clear vision to transform our nation from one of consumption to one of production and shared prosperity.
A New Nigeria is POssible - PO
If you’re a tenant in Lagos, please don’t sign a tenancy agreement that says your rent is for a FIXED TERM OF ONE YEAR. Don’t do it! You’ll regret it.
That clause is a legal trap set by lawyers acting for landlords. It means you’ve agreed to stay for only that one year and once it’s up, they can ask you to leave without serving a notice to quit (as allowed under Section 13 of the Lagos State Tenancy Law, 2011).
In simple terms: once the year ends, you pack out. Don’t sign a fixed-term tenancy agreement.
