Borgu: We Must Never Normalise the Killing of Nigerians
The reports emerging from Borgu, Niger State, are becoming increasingly difficult to comprehend and deeply painful to contemplate. On 27 August, I expressed my anguish over the reported abduction of about 600 Nigerians, many of them women, children and elderly people, alongside the killing of others. I described it then as “one case too many” and urged that it be treated with the urgency it deserved.
Today, that anguish has become even deeper. We are now confronted with continuing reports of the gruesome killing of some of those abducted, while many others remain unaccounted for.
In another disturbing incident, a bandit group reportedly beheaded a Nigerian and sent his severed head to a community leader over a ₦50 million levy. If the reported killing was intended to increase pressure on the community and extract more money for those still being held, then we must recognise the terrible reality before us: human life is being deliberately turned into a bargaining instrument.
One person is killed to terrorise an entire community, while others are kept alive as hostages for more ransom. This is not merely criminality; it is the systematic devaluation of human life. These are not statistics. They are Nigerians. They are mothers, fathers, children, brothers, sisters and elderly people. Their only offence was to live in communities where the protection of the state has become increasingly inadequate.
We must therefore ask ourselves a fundamental question: At what point do we, as a nation, decide that this is no longer acceptable? We cannot continue to normalise the kidnapping of hundreds of citizens, the killing of innocent people, the imposition of levies on communities, the displacement of entire populations and the payment of ransom as though these are unavoidable features of Nigerian life.
The consequences of insecurity go beyond those abducted or killed. Families are displaced, farms abandoned, businesses destroyed, children deprived of education, and citizens forced to seek safety elsewhere. Insecurity ultimately destroys both lives and public confidence in government.
Nigeria cannot continue reacting only after lives are lost. We need intelligence-led operations, stronger community security, rapid response, better coordination and equipment for our security forces, effective border protection, and sustained action against criminal networks.
The primary responsibility of government is the security and welfare of its citizens. While politicians prepare for elections, Nigerians are asking for something more fundamental: the right to live. We must never accept a Nigeria where kidnapping, ransom, criminal levies and the killing of innocent citizens become normal. Every Nigerian life matters. Every victim deserves justice. Every community deserves protection.
Our prayers must be matched with action. No criminal group should determine who lives or dies anywhere in Nigeria. Nigeria must restore security, justice, and the dignity of human life.

The Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, @CCSoludo, sometimes acts as though he took over directly from @PeterObi. But in reality, he took over from Willie Obiano. @WillieMObiano
So, technically, there was Willie Obiano between Peter Obi and Chukwuma Soludo. Whatever Peter Obi left behind when he left office was inherited by Willie Obiano, who was the immediate predecessor.
That’s why I’m still trying to understand something: why does Soludo keep skipping Willie Obiano and going straight for Peter Obi every time?
Honestly, I’m still trying to understand the logic behind it. 🤔
Nigerians will spend hours, months, and even years scrutinizing Peter Obi simply because he is contesting for president, while conveniently ignoring the absurdities and alleged misconduct of Bola Tinubu and his cronies, the people actually in power. At this point, perhaps Nigerians truly deserve the leadership they tolerate.

What Soludo fails to understand is that this proxy battle he is fighting on Tinubu’s behalf is deeply counterproductive. It will only drive more people toward Peter Obi, erode whatever goodwill Soludo has built, and ultimately overshadow the legacy he should be focused on securing.
To the leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who just signed the Cardiff self-determination pact: be careful. They will blockade your land and shoot down Red Cross aid planes to starve millions of your children to death before they give up control—all in the name of “unity.” They did it in Nigeria in the late 1960s. Don’t assume it couldn’t happen again.
SIN HAS CONSEQUENCES — EVEN AFTER REPENTANCE.
Repent.
When God forgives your sin, His mercy is complete. But forgiveness does not always erase every consequence of what you have done.
If you damage someone's reputation, asking God for forgiveness does not automatically restore that person's opinion of you.
If you steal, repentance does not remove the responsibility to make restitution where possible.
If you hurt someone, forgiveness does not necessarily make the wound disappear immediately.
This is why repentance is more than simply saying, “God, forgive me.”
Where possible, you must make things right. You must accept correction. You must change your ways. You must allow God's grace to repair what sin has damaged in your life and in the lives of others.
Think about it this way: a father can forgive his child while still allowing that child to face the consequences of a wrong decision and learn from it.
God's mercy forgives us, but His grace also purifies and transforms us.
So never use God's mercy as an excuse to take sin lightly.
Repent completely. Turn away from sin. Make restitution where you can. Accept godly correction. Do works of love and mercy. Allow God to transform your character.
God does not forgive you so that you can remain the same person.
He forgives you, cleanses you, and teaches you how to walk in holiness.
Don't play with sin because you know God is merciful.
Sin is serious. Repentance is serious. God's mercy is greater.
If this message has blessed you, please share it with your friends and groups. Someone may need to hear this today.
God bless you.
