🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: UEFA are extremely pleased with the performance of Champions League Final referee Daniel Siebert.
People close to the referee say his display is internally being viewed as one of the greatest refereeing performances in Champions League Final history.
Meanwhile, there is major surprise within FIFA over why he is NOT refereeing at the World Cup.
@WeAreTheOverlap Roy Keane enjoys the character of being seen as a tough guy, so he tries so hard to play it everytime. He has ridiculous takes everytime.
This was South Africa yesterday. They’re chasing away a mass of black foreigners, particularly Nigerians in many neighborhoods.
This is what South Africa has become.✍️
A WARNING TO SEN. TED CRUZ AND HIS CABAL OF YANKEE CRUSADERS.
American @SenTedCruz is the joker of the century. He is the @AIPAC-sponsored village idiot and asinine fool who says he wants to save Nigerian Christians from what he has described as 'Christian genocide' whilst three others, namley @RepRileyMoore, Rep. Chris Smith & American Secretary of State @SecRubio, are his happy cheerleaders.
An Israel-loving, genocide-enabling, Muslim-hating, Zionist-pampering & Gaza-slaughtering Yankee hill-billy who supports a cruel, leperous, lawless, racist, extremist, bigoted, arrogant, vile, land-grabbing, child-killing, rogue, pariah & deluded apartheid state with an all-conquering colonial mentality & who has nothing but contempt for Arabs, Asians & Africans, whether Christian or Muslim, is telling us that he will help to solve our problems & save the Christian population in Nigeria?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country where the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Navy Staff, the Chief of Defence Intelligence, the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the DSS, the Chairman of the EFCC, the Comptroller General of Immigration & so many more heads of our security & intelligence agencies are headed by Christians?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country whose President has a wife that is not only a Christian but also a Pastor?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country where every single Governor from the South & a good number of Governors from the North Central zone are Christian?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country where the Senate President, the Secretary to the Federal Government & the National Chairman of the ruling party are Christian?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country whose Federal Government on assumption of office two years ago removed the great injustice that existed for the previous 8 years in which every single head of our 17 security and intelligence agencies & every single operational head of our Armed Forces was a Northern Muslim?
Under such circumstances the charge of "Christian genocide" & that Nigeria is "the most dangerous place in the world for Christians to live" seems hardly sustainable. As a matter of fact it sounds utterly absurd.
Who in our Armed Forces & security and intelligence agencies pulls the trigger on the Christians & who gives the orders for them to be singled out for genocide whilst the Muslims are left unscathed & untouched?
Is it the Christians that head most of those institutions that are doing so? I doubt it & neither has it happened.
Ironically, to my recollection, it was only on one occassion that the Nigerian Army targetted & killed over 1000 Nigerians in one day because they blocked a road & on account of their faith & the victims were not Christians but rather Shia Muslims & members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN).
This terrible incident occurred in Zaria, Kaduna state in December 2015 eight years before the inception of the Tinubu administration & under the watch of the previous Chief of Army Staff Gen. Tukur Burutai.
In truth if any religious group in our country has the right & legitimate reason to complain to the world that they have been singled out for elimination by the state in the last twenty years it is the Shia Muslims who have suffered mass murder in the hands of both Muslim & Christian leaders.
This begs the following question: have Christians been targetted & massacred in Nigeria over the years and the answer is "yes" & a chilling and horrendous example is the massacre of Christians in four local Government areas in Southern Kaduna on Dec. 25th 2016 in which no less than 808 Christians were targetted & killed in one day!
The difference here though is that those massacres were perpetuated by non-state actors & savage ethnic militias & certainly not by our military & secondly the same group committed similar atrocities against Muslim communities too.
(CONTINUED BELOW👇👇👇)
I thank God Almighty for this nomination and look forward to serving my fatherland and humanity. I am particularly grateful to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his visionary and exemplary leadership.
The President has taught me the meaning of forgiveness and has helped me better understand what patriotism entails. In short, Christlikeness is demonstrated in him. He is the right man, at the right time, for the right job, and deserves the right hand of fellowship from all Nigerians.
May God bless you, Mr President, and may Nigeria prosper as an indivisible entity with peace, prosperity, and progress under your able leadership.
I thank my parents, Esijolomi and Omerewumi, who moulded me, as a piece of clay they received from God, into what I am today.
May God bless Malam Nuhu Ribadu. Although I have said this publicly before, let me repeat it today. If it were possible for all the goodness on Earth to be domiciled in a single human being, that person would be Malam.
Finally, I thank my wife, Hana, my yene konjoo, who has been a pillar by my side and helped settle my mind for the three years that enemies of the President made me their foe because of my unalloyed support for the President and unrelenting loyalty to Nigeria.
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Take a look at the long epistle you typed on something you claimed not to have watched. Herd mentality.
Yet, you’ve witnessed all the atrocities committed by bandit&terrorists, & heard Gumi’s remarks, and all you could say was, “Sheik – this is not good”.
Your hypocrisy smells.
The reason why some Arewa people are angry about The Herd movie is not because we are denying the reality of banditry, far from it. It is about the dangerous consequences of profiling an entire ethnic group and region that has already suffered immensely from years of insecurity. I watched the teaser on @NetflixNaija, and even though I haven’t watched the full movie yet, the one clear problem that stands out is stereotyping.
In the teaser, Fulani herders are shown crossing the road with their cattle, while a newlywed couple inside a car and other travellers drive by, then suddenly the herdsmen pull out guns, start shooting indiscriminately and kidnap everyone. This single scene paints a picture that is actually facile as it is dangerously inaccurate.
The truth is this, it is true and verifiable that some of the bandits terrorizing innocent people and our communities are Fulani. We have consistently and openly acknowledged that, called them out, condemned their atrocities and demanded that authorities deal with them mercilessly. Yet the overwhelming majority of Fulani herders are innocent and also among the very victims that have suffered the most from these terrorists. Many have lost their cattle, their livelihoods and their families. So producing a movie to profile them all as armed kidnappers only reinforces a harmful stereotype that fuels suspicion, resentment and even violence against innocent people.
Film and media carry immense influence, they shape global perceptions and frame narratives, especially about communities that are poorly understood outside their regions. Instead of the producers of The Herd helping the world understand the complexity of Nigeria’s insecurity, the movie falls into the trap of blanket judgment. When such an international movie, portrays a one-dimensional story, millions of viewers around the world walk away believing that every Fulani herder is a terrorist and that is how stigma is created. That is how innocent people become targets of discrimination and harassment.
Before producing a film that touches on such a sensitive and complex national issue, the producers should have done intensive field work by engaging stakeholders, security experts, victims, researchers and even representatives of pastoralist groups to help them capture the full picture of the situation.
I believe @AliNuhu’s Nigerian Film Corporation should have given proper guidance to prevent such damaging portrayals.
In the end, all we are saying is simple, tell the story. Condemn the criminals. Call out the terrorists. But do not cast a shadow of suspicion over millions of innocent herders who have nothing to do with these atrocities.
Our country is dealing with a complex security challenge and the last thing we need is media content that deepens stereotypes and fuels more division.
The producers should have known better.
Hi northerners, come and read, but make sure you do so, with open minds and sincerity in your hearts.
“₦1 billion was paid to bandits by the present government of Kaduna. They are paying bandits. They apologise to bandits. If the governor or anyone in the government disagrees, let them deny it, we have the evidence.”
— Nasir El-Rufai
“Bandits are our heroes inside the bush. We don’t want a government that will kill them; we want a government that will negotiate with them. If we negotiate with them, they’ll protect our bush.”
— Sheikh Ahmad Gumi
“We went to Sheikh Gumi’s house. We contributed ₦800,000. We pleaded with him, especially me and some other women. We told him we are widows. That he should help us. He said we should go and bring money. We said we don’t have any more money. He said the ₦800,000 is just for his transport fare to go and meet them.”
— One of the mothers of the kidnapped girls
These statements and many other ridiculous ones were made openly. Publicly. Confidently. And yet, there was no united outrage, no collective condemnation from leaders or communities in the North, some of your social media influencers were silent too. In fact, many people even defended these narratives, as if the rest of the country is blind to the suffering, kidnappings, killings, and chaos happening daily.
But the moment “The Herds,” a movie reflecting the painful reality of insecurity, was released, suddenly you people found your voice. Suddenly there was anger. Suddenly there was unity, but against a film, not against the terrorists destroying lives.
Let’s be honest:
The majority of terror attacks Nigeria has endured for over a decade, from kidnappings, banditry, Boko Haram, ISWAP all have come and operating primarily from the North. That is a fact nobody can deny.
But instead of confronting these extremist groups head-on, holding leaders accountable, and collectively rejecting the ideology that fuels them, too many people remain silent or worse, offer excuses.
Until Northern political leaders, traditional rulers, religious voices, and community influencers collectively stand up and say:
“This is wrong.”
“This is not Islam.”
“These criminals do not represent us.”
…then the world will continue to associate the region with terrorism and those who excuse it.
No region, tribe, or religion deserves that kind of stigma. But only the people from within can change the narrative.
Nigeria cannot heal if the North does not confront the extremists hiding among its own people.
And Nigeria cannot be safe until all of us, North, South, East, West, Christian, Muslim, unite against those who profit from bloodshed.
Brigadier General Uba and three of his men abducted and publicly executed by Islamist terrorists in Borno state on Friday.
64 civilians, including women and children, abducted in Tsafe LGA Zamfara state by Islamist terrorists on Saturday.
25 female students and their Principal abducted from a school in Maga, Kebbi state on Sunday by Islamist terrorists whilst their Vice Principal was killed.
38 worshippers abducted from a Church in Eruku, Kwara state yesterday.
One policeman killed in an attack by Islamist terrorists in Geidam, Yobe state yesterday.
8 members of the Civilian Task Force killed and three abducted by Islamist terrorists in Gwoza, Borno state yesterday.
15 people abducted, including 4 nursing mothers and babies, and two killed in Sabon Birni, Sokoto state by Islamist terrorists yesterday.
4 rice farmers killed in an attack in by Islamist terrorists in Edu, Kwara state yesterday.
52 students abducted in a Catholic school in Agwara, Niger state today.
All this in just one week.
May God save Nigeria!

NIGERIA UPDATE - EVERY NIGERIAN SHOULD READ THIS INSIGHTFUL PIECE:
Think Naija: The Reform Notebook.
THE NARRATIVE BEFORE THE INTERVENTION: HOW WASHINGTON IS SHAPING NIGERIA’S STORY. - November 21, 2025 - Part 1
Foreign intervention never begins with airplanes, sanctions or soldiers. It begins with stories. It begins with how a country is described, framed, understood and judged by powerful nations.
Iraq did not begin with missiles. It began with a narrative about weapons of mass destruction. Libya did not begin with bombs. It began with a narrative about protecting civilians. Syria did not begin with airstrikes. It began with a narrative about humanitarian responsibility.
The same pattern is now forming around Nigeria, and the speed is alarming.
The life sentence delivered to Nnamdi Kanu on November 20, 2025 is a perfect example. A Nigerian court, after years of legal proceedings, found him guilty on seven terrorism related charges, including directing violence, issuing sit at home orders, caused hundreds of deaths, and guiding bomb making. The court described him as an international terrorist and chose life imprisonment instead of the death penalty.
Within hours, a US lawmaker declared that the conviction was evidence of religious persecution.
A terrorism judgment became a faith narrative in a single step. This did not happen randomly, it is structural and it is how congressional narratives are built.
A legal event happens. American lawmakers interpret it through a moral lens that suits domestic politics. The narrative becomes a talking point. Talking points become resolutions. Resolutions become sanctions or conditions. And at the end of that chain lies the justification for foreign intervention.
This is the architecture we are watching being built around Nigeria.
What makes the situation even more concerning is that this narrative did not start yesterday. It has been shaped for years, intentionally and deliberately, through structured lobbying.
Foreign Agents Registration Act filings in Washington show that IPOB and its affiliates hired American lobbying firms to promote a narrative of Christian persecution in Nigeria. The message was clear: Nigeria is killing Christians, the Nigerian state is complicit, and the South East faces genocide. These claims were crafted to appeal to the American evangelical and conservative network that sees global Christian victimhood as a core political issue.
This lobbying created a permanent narrative frame. Even after contracts ended, the impression remained inside congressional offices, in briefing notes, in staff memory and in committee debates. Lobbying does not disappear when the cheque stops. It leaves a shadow.
This is why the same Congress that invokes Christian persecution rarely mentions certain facts.
It ignores that Boko Haram has killed more Muslims than Christians. It ignores that banditry in the North West is driven by economic motives, not religion. It ignores that many Christian communities in the Middle Belt are attacked, but Muslim communities across the North and Middle Belt also suffer the same fate in even larger numbers. It ignores that IPOB and ESN splinter groups killed over 700 Christians in the South East and enforced violent sit at home campaigns. It ignores that Finland, a Western nation, convicted a key Biafran agitator for terrorism in September 2025. It ignores that the Nigerian court conviction of Kanu was based on evidence, not on faith.
And it ignores the deaths of Muslims who are also victims of the same terror networks. Only days before some US lawmakers repeated the Christian genocide narrative, terrorists abducted and murdered the Ameer of the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria in Kebbi State, Alqasim Uthman Ibrahim. He was kidnapped and killed in captivity, without media attention, international outrage or congressional concern.

The agenda was clear to him, so he presented it as “Radicalized Islamist are targeting moderate Muslims & Christians”. Hopefully you all are happy.
He’s negotiating for terrorists, advocating repentant terrorist be integrated into the military. preaches voting against politicians with anti-terrorism mandate.
I’d love to know how many learned Muslims in Nigeria are opposed to this Sheik’s ideology, cos I don’t see their vids.
I have consistently maintained that APC is a destructive political force. Their sole obsession is winning elections by whatever means, & no genuine interest in governance or the people.
