“It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.”

When I started making money and moved abroad, I made a list of many of my old friends and acquaintances. I began reaching out to them one by one, and in some cases, I even asked other people to help me find them.
When we reconnected, I asked how life had been and what they had been doing. Almost all of them were genuinely grateful that I hadn’t forgotten them, even though I was in my own season while they were still waiting for theirs.
After those conversations, I asked each of them one simple question:
“Tell me one thing I can do for you right now that would give your life a meaningful lift.”
The answers were often surprisingly modest. Since I was financially comfortable at the time, I usually gave them far more than they asked for.
One friend asked for ₦1 million to start a small business. I told him, “Let’s think bigger,” and gave him ₦5 million instead.
Another asked for an okada (motorcycle) so he could earn a living. I asked if he could drive a car. When he said yes, I bought him a car worth about ₦12 million so he could drive for Uber instead.
I did similar things for several others.
Over the years, many of them assumed that because I had reached out first and helped them once, they could always come back and ask for more.
What they never knew was that I wasn’t trying to become their lifelong provider.
I did what I did to clear my conscience. I wanted to know that if God blessed me financially, I hadn’t forgotten the people I once struggled alongside.
I have learned something important:
Helping someone in a meaningful way is a beautiful thing. Becoming responsible for another adult’s life forever is not.
Kindness has no regrets, but it must also have boundaries.
Sometimes the greatest gift you can give is a genuine opportunity. What they do with that opportunity is no longer your responsibility.
Yesterday, July 10, 2026, marked 27 years since George Iwilade, popularly known as Afrika, a vibrant, brilliant, and courageous student leader and Secretary-General of the Students' Union Government of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, was murdered by cult gangs sponsored by the university authorities.
Since his brutal killing on July 10, 1999, Afrika has grown from a fallen comrade into a timeless legend of the Nigerian student movement. His courage, conviction, and sacrifice continue to inspire generations of young people committed to justice and liberation.
For context, this photograph was taken during one of our solidarity actions in Yaba, Lagos, protesting the persecution of OAU students. Standing together were Afrika, then OAU SUG President Lanre Adeleke aka "Legacy", and my humble self as we unfurled a giant banner inside a massive police cordon in defiance of intimidation.
Afrika and I shared many struggles before I left Nigeria in February 1999. His life was cut short, but his ideals could not be buried. Twenty-seven years later, we still remember him not merely for how he died, but for how he lived: fearless, principled, and unwavering in pursuing justice.

THE REAL REASON LAWLESS DSS ARRESTED JOURNALIST ZAINAB SODIQ!
Contrary to the hurriedly put together fable by the lawless DSS about the circumstances of journalist Zainab Sodiq's unlawful detention, she was not arrested and detained because of any drone.
She was targeted because the DG of the lawless DSS, Tosin Ajayi, knew that she worked with me and had been after her for some time. I had publicly disclosed this concern months ago.
The DJI Mavic Air drone in question belongs personally to me. When DSS personnel at the Murtala Muhammed Airport domestic terminal seized it from Zainab on Monday on her way to Abuja, I personally spoke with their personnel in Lagos. I explained that the drone was mine, that Zainab was a journalist covering my activities, and that it was a commercial media drone I had used to cover elections and other public events. The earlier version was seized from me by the DSS in Ondo state during the 2019 general elections; they never returned it.
When they seized the drone, I told Zainab to leave it with them at the airport in Lagos and return to Abuja because she was carrying my international passport. The passport had to be deposited in court on Monday as part of the bail conditions imposed on me by Justice M.G. Umar. The DSS lawyer, AT Kehinde, SAN, had insisted that I be sent back to Kuje prison after Justice Umar imposed fresh bail conditions on me, including the deposit of my passport
The real objective was to prevent Zainab from reaching Abuja with my International passport, frustrate the perfection of my bail, and create an excuse to send me back to the overcrowded Kuje Prison to get infected with tuberculosis. The next phase of repression was going to be biological warfare against me.
Zainab was in possession of my passport and had also sworn to an affidavit connected with my bail process. She traveled by Bolt to meet DSS personnel at their office. According to the account available to us, when she arrived, she was taken into custody so abruptly that she was not even allowed to settle the fare with her Bolt driver.
About two hours after Zainab became unreachable, our lawyers contacted Lawless DG, Tosin Ajayi. He acknowledged that she was in DSS custody and described what was happening as a “routine screening” connected to her possession of a drone. He reportedly asked our lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, to proceed to the DSS office regarding her release. Marshal Abubakar proceeded to the DSS headquarters to secure her release, and the story changed.
We were later told that the DSS leadership was angry because I had publicly exposed Zainab's unlawful detention via social media posts. Instead of addressing the legality of holding a Nigerian citizen, the concern of Tosin Ajayi became I had posted about it on social media.
This is what happens when personal ego is placed above citizens' fundamental rights.
Of course, this is part of a broader pattern of impunity: repression of critics, harassment of journalists and activists, and the use of state institutions against citizens who challenge those in power.
To Tosin Ajayi and those operating this machinery of repression, Nigeria appears to be the private property of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is not.
Nigeria belongs to the Nigerian people, and no amount of intimidation, detention, propaganda, or repression will change that.
Every lie has an expiration date. Every act of impunity will not be tolerated.
Tosin Ajayi is a man with an ego that couldn't fit only in the back of a DSS HILUX van didn't consider the fundamental rights of a Nigerian journalist carrying out her legitimate constitutional duty, he was more concerned about his oversized ego, the reason he bribes NGOS and professional bodies like the NUJ to give him fake awards, the reason he connives with judges to jail me because I challenge the impunity he supervises, the reason he run a DSS agency whose biggest budget is not dedicated to its workers but Social Media trolls, the reason he is engaging in impunity.

LIVES HAVE BEEN RUINED BY THE LAWLESS @OfficialDSSNG. This is why its past and present leaders must face justice, no matter how long it takes. These guys have destroyed the lives of too many Nigerians, and we keep acting as though it is normal. NO!
Those responsible must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.
Breaking: Sowore @sowore has been granted bail under the following conditions:
- Deposit of his international passport.
- Two sureties in the sum of ₦200 million each, one of whom must be a traditional ruler from his community, while the other must own landed property in Abuja.
This is insane! This is not prosecution but outright persecution. Tinubu @officialABAT is well determined to take out all opposition and position himself as the sole candidate for the 2027 election. We must resist this!

Tomorrow, I will once again appear before Justice M.G. Umar at the Federal High Court in Abuja for the continuation of the farcical trial instituted by the lawless DSS on behalf of Tinubu, with the sole aim of silencing our revolutionary movement, our voice, and our momentum.
I urge our revolutionary comrades to stand with us, whether in person at the court, online, or from wherever you are across the world.
From the prison yards of Kuje, I cannot stop expressing how proud I am of our comrades everywhere who have remained steadfast, dealing successive blows against the retrogressive Tinubu regime.
We remain strong, gallant, and unbowed. Our goal remains unshaken and unchanged; it's liberation or nothing until we win.

With the revelation from Ban▪︎▪︎dit leader Kachalla Muhammadu, about getting first-hand information and plans of the military about him, it now very clear that covert military classified operation is longer guaranteed, due to inside sabotage.
For this reason, Nigeria should set up a secret ELITE FORCE to go after terrorists and ban▪︎▪︎dits, just as we have the Navy Seals in the United States. This specialized secret force will comprise of only 150 military personnel, with 50 soldiers each from the Army, Navy, and Airforce.
The best of the best in intelligence and combat. They will be sent to Isreal and United States to train on counter terrorism, and specialized military operations. (Capture or Neutralize) Despite being serving military personnel, no soldier or civilian will know about their recruitment or their new identities as ELITE team members. The process of recruitment without suspicion even from their unit officers, commending officers, or GOC's might be like a set up, or frame up, so they will be arrested by the military police, detained, then transferred to Abuja from wherever state they are being taken from. They will never know the crime they committed until they get to a safe house in Abuja, the place where the 150 elite members are to be assembled. They will be surprised to see other soldiers from different states who were brought there in the same manner. They will be surprised, but their phones will be taken away from them until all 150 of them are assembled before telling them the reason they are there, and the mission ahead. The government must reach out to the immediate families of each and every one of them, to ensure they are comfortable and okay, while they send them for their secret specialized training. Leaving Nigeria, they will leave in batches of 30 personnel, and they must be well disguised or masked, to conceal their identities. In 5 days all 150 must have left Nigeria. They will spend a total of 90 days in Isreal, and another 90 days in the United States to train on counter terrorism, intelligence gathering, snipping, precision target, drone technology, high level
surveillance, and mission secrets before returning to Nigeria. They will return in batches of 30, well disguised beyond recognition back to that safe house where they were first assembled. Once in Nigeria, they become government assets. An elite trained killer squard. The government will place them on huge pay, and bonuses for successful missions. Their missions, plans, targets, secrets, operations is reported to only the president of Nigeria, who gives his express clearance.
Their payment comes directly from CBN. Mind you, they are still military officers, and will be progressing in their various military careers while going on covert missions to neutralize top terrorists and bandits. In the military, no soldier will know their true identities, not even Generals in the Army. They will still be earning their military salaries, growing in ranks, and enjoying their special pay as members of the elite specialized killing squard. Generals in the Army will never know their mission, plans, operations or targets. Outside Mr President, no one else can give them command or instruction when they are on a mission. They will use their wealth of experience and training to fish out saboteurs and infiltrators in the military.
President Trump's statement over the weekend declaring that the United States has "largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations" in Nigeria is alarming. It is dangerous. And it is patently false.
The strikes were real. Credit where it's due — no president before Trump hit Nigeria's jihadists at all. The Christmas Day strike on Sokoto and the May 16 strike that killed the world's number-two ISIS commander were real blows.
But the group doing most of the genocidal killing was never touched.
The Fulani militias — the armed networks that have burned more than 20,000 churches, slaughtered families in the night, and driven twelve million people from their ancestral land — have not been struck. They are forces operating under the protection of the Caliphate structure, loyal to the same ruling elite that has been running this jihad since 1804. They are fully intact, still in the field. And by every visible measure, the situation has not improved — it has gotten worse.
Not just the killing. The government deception. The incompetence, corruption and complicity. The government that denies the existence of millions of displaced people. The Islamic supremacist now rewriting the national school curriculum for fifty million children in what he calls “intellectual jihad.” The Fulani militia commanders who have never faced a courtroom, a drone, or a consequence of any kind.
Now look at the timing.
A ginned-up diaspora "gala" in Washington last week -- days before Trump's disturbing pivot -- became a de-facto Tinubu campaign rally. His people worked the room, the “cooperation” between the US and Nigerian governments was celebrated. Contrary voices were silenced. People wined and dined and gave each other awards to celebrate who-knows-what in the middle of an ongoing genocide. Tinubu's own spokesman was hailed as an “honored guest” and closed the evening at the microphone with an extended infomercial for the corrupt administration.
Days later, President Trump announced the genocide is largely over.
That is not a coincidence. That is a play.
Tinubu just learned he faces no backlash for backing off. Trump learned that the self-appointed voice of the diaspora celebrates his partnership with Tinubu and their “accomplishments.” That is a green light — the movement strategically silenced at the exact time to ensure Washington filed Nigeria under “problem solved.”
It worked. And if it sticks, the results will be catastrophic.
I believe there is still hope to bring this back into the spotlight, to compel Trump to act, but there’s not much time.
Look at what moved Trump the first time: In September, Bill Maher raised the issue of the Nigerian Christian Genocide on national television. Ted Cruz loudly made it a Senate matter. And then days later Trump threatened Country of Particular Concern designation.
Next, my October 14 press conference in Abuja generated billions of impressions and triggered an emergency Senate session. The resulting outcry moved the needle. Days later, Trump promised to come “guns-a-blazin.”
Now the voices have gone soft, become complicit, absorbed into DCI’s swamp -- and immediately Trump talks as if he’s turning away.
These are not coincidences. It’s loud public outcry that forced the issue and compelled action.
We need that outcry again right now, louder than ever.
If President Trump has "accomplished" his mission in Nigeria, then his mission was never about stopping the genocide or saving Christians.
We know better. He can do better. But only if we get loud enough that he has to. Right now.

Nigerian Government Jails Sowore For Free Speech But Negotiates With Terrorists — Lawyer Ejimakor Condemns Activist’s Remand In Prison | Sahara Reporters https://t.co/w9Y95taX7N
I read somewhere that the lawless @OfficialDSSNG DG, Tosin Ajayi, now claims they are investigating those who assembled to assault, abduct, and unlawfully hold me hostage me for over an hour in the basement of the Federal High Court. That claim is itself an insult to intelligence. Earlier today, he sent his goons to the Kuje correctional center to intimidate and harass me all the way to the Federal High Court from these goons took over the court premises, and took over the courtroom harassing, lawyers, and citizens
For starters, this operation was planned by the DSS hierarchy. It was coordinated through the Director of Operations, Dogiwa, who remained in constant communication with the team that assaulted and held me hostage after the attack.
No one should be fooled. Tosin Ajayi acting on behalf of Tinubu bears responsibility for what happened at the Federal High Court. Part of the operation was captured on video, while other aspects occurred in the elevator and behind the court complex, away from public view.
Their plans were ultimately frustrated by revolutionary fighters and supporters outside the court premises, whose presence made it impossible for the operation to proceed as intended.
These desperate acts will neither alter nor delay the judgment of history. The collaboration between Tosin Ajayi and former illegal IGP Kayode Egbetokun had already been exposed by SaharaReporters before the court date.
We will continue to resist oppression, expose wrongdoing, and confront those who abuse power.
The struggle continues until justice prevails.
The mass revolt against injustice is coming.
Anyone watching the latest desperate actions of the dying Tinubu regime might be tempted to think they are signs of strength. They are not. They are merely the last kicks of a failing order.
We have been here before. We have seen it, endured it, and overcome it. The outcome will be no different, eventual defeat, disgrace, and the humbling of those who wield power against the people.
I urge all citizens, comrades, and freedom fighters to remain resolute and unwavering. I am unfazed by these developments, and neither is the momentum of our struggle. The velocity of the movement for justice, accountability, and genuine democracy remains undiminished.
Stay focused. Stay courageous. Victory belongs to those who refuse to surrender. #Sowore2027 #TakeItBack #RevolutionNOW
Sowore Vs Justice Umar:
Justice Mohamed Umar should recuse himself from the trial of Sowore's case in which Sowore was alleged to have called President Tinubu a criminal based on Tinubu's available published records.
It is trite in law that when lawyers and accused person(s) are not comfortable with the biases and misconduct of a judge presiding over their case, and formal petition written against the judge, he should recuse himself. That is the honourable path to follow.
Justice should not only be done, it should be seen to be done to all parties before a judge. A judge should never portray himself as an interested party in a case before him. He should also not be desperate to hear a case before him when any litigant, or and his counsel have lost confidence on the integrity of a judge based on his handling of the case. This is the universal principle of law, fair hearing and commonsense. Justice Mohamed Umar should honourably recuse himself now. - Adeola Soetan
