Not sure what to make of this.😳
🤷🏽‍♂️
So general Buhari sent DSS to Oyo to apprehend (maybe kill?) Igboho, without telling the state governor, as part of the APC internal wrangling with Tinubu?

Worth looking into…

Clear proof & a handy reminder… Naija’s entire electoral process is rigged from top to bottom!

Add to this, the reality that Wike spokesman, Lere Olayinka don show say dem dey access INEC’s back end server like say na their own phones.

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

EVEN MORE EVIDENCE:

While the INEC chairman tries to deny he has an X account, the objective evidence shows he is absolutely lying.

The 2FA process for the email registered to that particular X account shows you it is linked to a certain phone number that ends with the digits “99”.

Now, if you go online and look at the phone number on his official CV, you will see his email and a phone number 08035074099. That’s the phone number ending in 99.

Now it gets more interesting,
If you go to Opay and try sending money to that particular phone number, guess the name of the account holder that comes up??? 😂

I have attached ALL the evidence.
It is very clear that the INEC chairman does have an X account. That X account is tied to his official email as per his university CV records, with a 2FA process linked to a phone number directly registered to his name.

Again, I have attached ALL the evidence. This is a really disgraceful situation and a completely unacceptable discovery.

It is now objectively clear that,
We now have an INEC chairman who is obviously partisan, blatantly compromised and who will very likely oversee an unreliable presidential election designed to coronate the APC.

See, we are totally finished as a country.

Yes, Ndigbo – this is real, and it matters. And it is what the Caliphate fears most.

After more than 50 years, respected voices from Nigeria’s Middle Belt have publicly apologised to the Igbo nation for the region’s role in the 1967–1970 Biafran War.

In May 2021, a group of Middle Belt intellectuals, led by the late Dr. Obadiah Mailafia, released a powerful declaration:

“Ndigbo, we are on our knees, begging you to forgive us for the sins we have committed against you, against God and against Humanity. Please, forgive us our monumental follies of yesteryears… We foolishly served as the foot soldiers of the Caliphate… You are our Umunna across the Great River. We swear we shall never stand against you again.”

They openly admitted nearly a million Middle Belt lives were also lost, and that they had been deceived into fighting their Igbo brothers and sisters.Earlier, in 2020, the Middle Belt Youth Council issued a formal apology for the same reason.

In October 2024, another Middle Belt Youth Group released a video plea, repeating that they “were deceived” and asking for forgiveness.

These are not government statements – they come from ordinary leaders, scholars and youths who now reject the old lies that turned neighbors into enemies.

The war took some 3 million lives, mostly Igbo children. The pain is still fresh for many. The scars deep.

This is not everything, and some say it is not enough. But it is a genuine, public act of remorse from the very people who fought on the other side.

Many Igbo have never heard these words.

Now you have.

Healing can only begin when truth is spoken and heard.

“After at least 7 Christians were murdered in a night in Nigeria, @PoliceNG came out & denied there was a burial going on, that Fulani came & attacked those villages. They declared there was peace. It has been shown that @HQNigerianArmy has been aiding & abetting the Fulani terr0rists. Christians were murdered in Barkin Ladi & when the villagers gathered to fight against the Fulani terr0rists, the military came & fought alongside the Fulani terr0rists.”

MEET THE CALIPHATE'S WAR CHIEF: From 1804 to today, the Sarkin Yaki's official job has been to conquer the Middle Belt
---
Two hundred twenty-one years ago, in the dust of a small town called Gudu in present-day Sokoto State, a Fulani scholar named Usman dan Fodio raised a green banner. Around him gathered men with swords and horses. He declared a holy war.

This is the moment most Western readers — and even most modern Nigerians outside the north — have been taught to think of as ancient history. It is not ancient history. It is the operating manual of what is happening tonight in Plateau State.

Dan Fodio did not just raise an army. He raised a command structure. He gave specific lieutenants specific flags. Each flag carried the right to wage jihad in a specific direction. The western flag went to Gwandu. The eastern flag went to Gombe and Adamawa. The central flag stayed at Sokoto. And the southern flag — the one tasked with breaking and converting every non-Muslim community south of the Caliphate proper — went to a man named Mallam Yakubu.

Yakubu took that flag and pushed south. He attacked the lands the Caliphate cavalry could not climb — the Plateau, Tafawa Balewa, Wase, Bogoro. He founded the Bauchi Emirate in 1805 as the southern operations headquarters of the jihad.

And Dan Fodio gave him a title. Not just Emir. Something more specific. Something operational.

Sarkin Yakin Sarkin Musulmi.

In Hausa, that is "War Chief of the Commander of the Faithful." It means: when the Sultan of Sokoto wants war waged, the holder of this title carries the flag and gives the orders.

It is not honorary. It is not ceremonial. It is the designated military command position of the Sokoto Caliphate's southern campaign.

Every Emir of Bauchi has held that title since 1805. All eleven of them.

The current holder, sitting on the throne in Bauchi tonight, is Dr. Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu Jumba, enthroned July 30, 2010. Leadership Newspaper, a major Nigerian daily, put it plainly in 2022: he was "crowned as the chief warrior of the Sokoto caliphate."

Read that again. The chief warrior of the Sokoto caliphate. Not in the 1800s. Today. In 2026.

The mission that never ended

When Yakubu rode south with his flag, his targets were specific. The non-Muslim peoples of the Middle Belt. The Yergum. The Angas. The Tarok. The Sayawa. The Berom on the Plateau he could never quite climb. The Mwaghavul. The Bachama. Every indigenous people who would not bend to the new caliphate.

Some of these names you may not recognize. They are among the most ancient peoples of West Africa. Their ancestors farmed the Plateau and the Middle Belt valleys long before Mohammed ever lived. They had their own languages, their own kings, their own gods. They never asked to be part of any caliphate.

Yakubu came for them anyway. By order of Dan Fodio. Under the southern flag.

And here is what most people do not know — when Yakubu went back to Sokoto in 1807 to ask Dan Fodio where to plant his capital, his first proposal was not Bauchi. It was Wase. Yes — the same Wase whose Emir today is the JNI chairman of Plateau State. Dan Fodio told Yakubu to settle further north — but make sure the southern push reaches all the way to Wase and beyond.

Twelve years later, in 1817, Wase was founded as a sub-emirate under the Bauchi flag, exactly as Dan Fodio had ordered.

That structure exists today. The Tribune Online — a major Nigerian newspaper — published the official record straight from Bauchi's Chief Historian, Alhaji Ado Dan Rimi:

"Yakubun Bauchi was able to cover and protect most of the southern parts of the caliphate during the Jihad and had wide land coverage unlike most Emirs who concentrated only in their emirates."

Translation: Yakubu was not running just one emirate. He was running the southern war machine of the entire Caliphate. His successors have inherited that mandate.

Twenty-one decades later, the southern campaign has not stopped. The targets have not changed. The structure has not changed. The flag has not been lowered.

What has changed is the technology. The cavalry has been replaced by AK-47s. The slave raids have been replaced by mass killings. The expansion is now denied in Washington lobby firms instead of celebrated in court chronicles. But the geography of the violence — Plateau, Tafawa Balewa, Bogoro, Wase, Bokkos, Bassa, Mangu, Riyom — is identical to the geography Yakubu was assigned in 1805.

The flag is still flying. The Sarkin Yakin Sarkin Musulmi is still holding it.

How the power flows

Here is what every Western diplomat, every State Department analyst, every wide-eyed reporter in Abuja needs to understand. The Sokoto-Bauchi-Wase axis is not three random emirates having coincidentally similar problems. It is a single command chain, designed by Dan Fodio himself, still functioning exactly as drawn up.

Sokoto holds spiritual and political authority. The Sultan is "Commander of the Faithful." He sets policy. He blesses or withholds the war.

Bauchi holds military authority over the southern campaign. The Emir is the Sultan's designated war chief — Sarkin Yakin Sarkin Musulmi — with operational control over the Middle Belt expansion.

Wase holds forward-deployed operational authority inside Plateau itself. The Emir is JNI chairman of Plateau State, supervising every JNI chapter in all 17 LGAs where the killing is happening. He reports up the chain to Bauchi, and through Bauchi to Sokoto.

When the Sultan condemns "Allahu Akbar killers" to hell from a podium in Abuja, but the killings continue in Plateau, his own war chief in Bauchi has not lowered the flag. That is the structural fact. The Sultan can call it off in one phone call to the Emir of Bauchi. He has not.

In March 2026 — six weeks before the May 6 attack on Christian mourners at Nding — the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, paid a formal courtesy visit to the Emir of Bauchi. He commended the Emir's "support" to the Nigerian Army. The Sarkin Yakin Sarkin Musulmi, the man whose 220-year-old title carries operational responsibility for the southern war on Christians, hosted Nigeria's top general in his palace.

Six weeks later, mourners burying their dead were attacked in Plateau by Fulani militia, and according to one eyewitness on the ground, by Nigerian soldiers as well.

The flag and the rifle. The throne and the trigger. Same chain.

2010: the year the flag was raised again

When the 11th Emir of Bauchi took his throne on July 30, 2010, something else was new in Nigeria. For the first time in modern history, a Christian Southerner was sitting in Aso Rock as President of Nigeria — Goodluck Jonathan, sworn in on May 5 of that same year after President Yar'Adua's death.

The northern Muslim political establishment did not accept that result. The unwritten zoning agreement — that the presidency rotates between North and South every two terms — had been broken by circumstance. They wanted their turn back.

Within six weeks of Rilwanu's enthronement, Boko Haram launched its modern violent phase. On September 7, 2010, the group broke more than 700 inmates out of Bauchi Prison — the most spectacular jailbreak in Nigerian history. Bauchi. The seat of the Sarkin Yakin Sarkin Musulmi. The chief warrior city.

Three months later, on Christmas Eve 2010, Boko Haram bombings in Jos killed more than 80 Christians. The Plateau campaign moved from skirmishes to industrial-scale slaughter.

The next year, when Jonathan defeated Buhari at the polls, the Caliphate answered with mass killings. Post-election Christian massacres swept Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Gombe. More than 800 dead in three days. Hundreds of churches burned. By 2014, Boko Haram had displaced two million people and abducted the Chibok girls. By 2015, the northern political establishment had taken the presidency back through Buhari.

By 2025, more than 125,000 Christians and 60,000 peaceful Muslims had been slaughtered in northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt. Most of it under the southern flag.

I am not telling you the chief warrior personally pulled triggers. I am telling you the chronology. The flag was raised in mid-2010. The killing accelerated immediately. The southern campaign has not stopped since.

This is what the 220-year-old job description looks like in modern times.

The question every reporter in Abuja should ask
Next time the Sultan of Sokoto walks to a podium and condemns "Allahu Akbar killers" to hell — somebody, please, ask him this:

Your Eminence, when will you order your Sarkin Yakin Sarkin Musulmi — the Emir of Bauchi — to lower the flag of the southern jihad?

Watch him struggle with that question. Watch him pretend he does not know what you mean. Watch him pretend the title is just historical decoration.

It is not. The Tribune Online printed the title from the Bauchi Emirate's own Chief Historian. Leadership Newspaper printed it from the palace's own anniversary statement. The line is unbroken. The flag is still flying. The chief warrior is still on his throne.

Two centuries. Eleven men. One mission.

The Middle Belt. The Plateau. The Christian villages of southern Bauchi.

Conquer them.

That has been the official job description, on the record, for two hundred twenty-one years.

Anybody who tells you the killings on the Plateau are random, or about cattle, or about climate, or about anything other than what they are — is selling you a lie that the Caliphate's own record contradicts.

The flag is still flying.

Somebody needs to lower it.
