ON SECURITY
Official records from the military indicates that the Nigeria Army has conducted 14,221 operations in the last six months alone. An average of 2,300 operations per month and 79 per day!!
In that period
- Over 1,500 terrorists have been neutralized
- Over 1,500 hostages rescued
These numbers are different from records from the Nigeria Police, DSS, Civil Defense and Others whose achievements have also been summarized below.
"We have seen the police report on the appointment letter and it was clearly established that the signature of the Chief of Staff was forged. The State House Letterhead was forged. In fact, in our own Letterheads, we don't put phone numbers, those who forged the Letterheads put phone numbers. More importantly, the Chief of Staff doesn't issue appointment letter, he only conveys the approvals of the President to the SGF and SGF issues appointment letter. So when you hear anyone saying that the Chief of Staff issued appointment letter to him, that's the first red flag...."

APOLOGY TO MY RESPECTED PLATEAU FRIENDS.
This afternoon I made just two posts concerning National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies Kuru, suggesting the relocation of the Institute from its present site and turning the present site to a military formation.
The outpour of abuses is not disturbing but rather funny.
Watching the social media space on hourly basis, my tribe (Hausa) and faith (Islam) receive all sorts of negative statements.
If you people are hurt by my suggestions, imagine what we endure everyday from your negative statements about Hausa, Fulani and Muslims generally who are part of Plateau state.
I was born in Jos (Layin Zana, Audi Street) 60 years ago. I did all my education in Jos and I am still living in Jos with my family. I served this state in three previous administration namely Dariye's administration, Baba Jang's administration and Lalong's administration. I have been serving this state all my life paying tax, renewing my vehicle license, buying VATeable items etc all contributing to the growth and economy of Plateau state. There are over one million of people like scattered all over Jos and the state who are of Hausa, Fulani or Muslim faith. All of us consider Plateau as home with no where to go.
What you feel about my posts this afternoon is exactly what we feel whenever, for instance you people call for the relocation of University of Jos from my area, or asking government not to rebuild the Jos Main Market.
The new spirit on the Plateau should be that of live and let other Nigerians live. "Settlers" developed Lagos. Plateau could be another Lagos in the North when we learn to embrace every Nigerian and allow everyone who wants to live on the Plateau do so and to contribute his quota to the development of the state.
An exclusive Christian Plateau is a mirage!
A word is enough for the wise 🙏

EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede has revealed how Yahoo boys (internet fraudsters) stole N7.2m from a judge’s bank account, prompting the judge to call him at 1am over the issue.
Speaking further, Olukoyede said he told the judge that the incident occurred in a state where the EFCC had been restrained by a court order from investigating certain financial crimes, but the judge insisted that her case was an exception.
He added that the commission acted swiftly and recovered the full amount stolen before 6pm the following day.
He also noted that if an application comes before that judge to stop the EFCC from carrying out its mandate, she will refuse it because she has become a victim.
We are not going back, we’re moving forward. We are going to win the election competitively. President Tinubu has no competition, the opposition is in tatters. You don’t use only the South East to challenge the President of Nigeria. Let us not throw away our votes.

"Yes, there is often tension between the government and the press, but that is the nature of democracy. The government must act, the media must watch. The government must explain, the media must question and bark when necessary. It is this healthy tension that strengthens our republic.
"As the President, I have often found myself both praised and sometimes criticized and in the same newspaper in different days. One day, I read in the headline: "Tinubu Scores Big As Nigeria Economy Expands." The very next day, the same newspaper on another page, I encountered another headline: "Nigeria's Economy Falters As Tinubu Loses Grip."
"I didn't know Segun Adeniyi would be here tonight. His last back page on security, I read everything. I still have a copy on my desk. Very rich outline. Thank you very much for keeping us very well. I read it all.
"One person that is not here that I read recently on the back page of the Guardian was Lanre Babalola. He was talking on Shiroro Dam. No electricity, you are alternating generators and all of that. We will be there. You can't blow hot and cold within 24 hours.
"However, you can be rest assured that our economy is doing well. We are out of the dark tunnel of uncertainty...I have learned to respect the scrutiny and questions, even as I ask the media to always do its own work. You must do your homework."
