Day 67. Borno kidnapped children are still in the bush, while the country scrolls, argues, laughs, and moves on. A nation that forgets its children has already lost part of its soul.

Britain is still supplying arms to Israel. Britain is still supplying intelligence. Britain is still complicit in genocide.

Iran’s captain was asked about LGBT rights. So, why then wasn’t the U.S. team captain asked about the U.S. bombing of the girls' school in Minab, asks @fbhutto ?

Bandits kidnapped a medical doctor. They tied him up, set up fire, grabbed his hand and put it inside the burning fire. Everyday, they burn a portion of his hand while he watched & screamed of severe pain. They kept burning the hand daily until they reached his shoulder. They then collected 15 million naira ransom and still killed him. These are the animals government wants to forgive & reward with free houses.

Awolowo said he doesn't want the children of his cooks or drivers to turn out to be cooks and drivers themselves, reason he made sure free and qualitative education was available to all in the Western region.

“Olodo uprising” is politics:

- Early Learning: 10 million Nigerian children aged 3-5 have never seen a preschool
- Nutrition: 40% of under 5 are stunted
- Executive Function: 52% are developmentally challenged
- WASH: 10 million+ in schools without a single functioning toilet

In just one year, Nigerians spent $1.6B in ransoms.

To put that into perspective, Nigeria’s annual ransom marketplace is now 11 times larger than the country’s entire Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Q1 2025.

Crime has structurally outpaced the formal economy under Tinubu.

Three weeks ago, my 23-year-old neighbor was kidnapped on her way to Kontagora in Niger State.
While in captivity, the bandits repeatedly raped her taking turns sleeping with her night after night. Still, they kept bargaining with her father over the phone, demanding ransom even as they violated her.

Her father fought with everything he had. He hustled day and night, borrowed from everyone, took loans, sold whatever he could determined to bring his daughter home.
When he finally gathered the full amount, he called the bandits and begged them, ‘Please, give the phone to my daughter. Let me speak to her. I want her to know I’m coming for her.’
They gave her the phone.
In a broken, traumatized voice, she told her father: ‘Dad, do not suffer yourself looking for the money. They have been sleeping with me. I’m traumatized. I can’t forgive myself. Even if I’m released, I’ll kill myself. Don’t bother paying the ransom.’
Those were the last words she ever spoke to him.
While her father was still holding the phone, he heard the gunshot. He heard his daughter being killed. Moments later, the bandits sent pictures of her remains to him, a final act of cruelty.
A 23-year-old girl. My neighbor. Someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend gone in the most horrific way possible.
This is not just one story. This is the nightmare too many families are living in Niger State and across Nigeria. Young women snatched on the roads, violated, used as bargaining chips, and discarded like nothing.
Living in Nigeria has become truly scary. You wake up, you step out, and you don’t know if you or your loved ones will return home. The fear is constant. The pain is constant. And too often, justice never comes.

Rest in peace to my neighbor.

These “bandits” are not that sophisticated. If the Nigerian government actually wanted to find them, they would find them in a few hours. The government is complicit in this. it’s not rocket science.

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism.

And we’d never hear the end of it.

Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

the fact that we witnessed this in real time and yet the world is still so silent is absolutely enraging

SAD NEWS: Yesterday evening, at least 12 people were killed in coordinated bandit attacks on Mazoji ward communities in Matazu LGA of Katsina State.

According to local sources:
• 2 people were killed in Dugul
• 1 person was killed in Hayin Nomau
• 9 people were killed in Salihawar Maruji/Salihawa Saminu

The attacks have left families devastated and communities in fear, once again exposing the deepening insecurity across rural communities in the State.

How many more lives must be lost before authorities take decisive action to secure other vulnerable communities across Katsina State?

If 51 Jews were killed in 24hrs, every world leader would issue a statement of condemnation & it would be described as the nth worst antisemitic massacre since the holocaust.

When Israel kills 51 people in Lebanon in 24hrs, it's called a ceasefire.
