If you come into my home to start telling me and my family what to eat and the time to eat, it thus, mean that you are after our lives. As the head of the family, I will stand up and deal with you mercilessly.
This isn't about food! It's about self preservation

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu honours veteran investigative Journalist and June 12 Apostle
The Nigerian army has issued a statement concerning the unauthorized incursion of Cameroonian troops into Cross Rivers. A dispute over the collection of levies on farmland situated along the border between Danare community in Nigeria and Dadi community in Cameroon reportedly sparked the incursion of Cameroonian troops into Nigerian territory.
Following the incursion, troops of the Nigerian Army Forward Operating Base, Danare, established contact with Cameroonian authorities, which led to the withdrawal of Cameroonian troops from Nigerian soil.
Now this is the army's explanation. The fact that Cameroonian troops have no qualms making authorized incursion into Nigerian territory at the slightest provocation shows they have little concern about facing significant consequences from Nigeria. Years of similar incursion have been met with a lackluster response from Nigeria.
This is not limited to Cameroon. We've had incidents of Chadian troops making unauthorized incursions into Nigerian territory in recent years. These nations are not oblivious of Nigeria's military capabilities. They do this because Nigeria has failed to establish a credible deterrence posture.
Not once in history has Nigerian troops made unauthorized incursions into the territory of its neighbors, not because Nigeria lacks the capability, but because it has generally exercised restraint. That restraint has not always been reciprocated. This is what you get when there is no credible deterrent against repeated violations. If Nigeria does not treat breaches of its territorial integrity with the level of seriousness and consequence they warrant, such incursions will be repeated.

"This window of surrender will not remain open forever," the president added.

Deji Adeyanju, VDM’s lawyer, is keeping mum while his client leads a protest to a military facility. I’m sure he understands the legal implications of such an action.
The Very dirty man and his useless Rats are fortunate that PBAT is a committed democrat. Under old sojas like OBJ or late PBM, attempting something like this could have attracted a much tougher response from security agencies.
The clown is pushing his luck too far. He should go and ask Nnamdi Kanu how far….
“Every donation to NDC must be domiciled in the NDC Account. We want INEC to audit our account according to the law. We don’t want individuals to use our donations to buy private houses and new cars…”
“My administration has sought financial autonomy for our 774 local councils. A fundamental challenge to our nation’s advancement has been ineffective Local Govt administration. Current insecurity is partly due to the collapse of grassroots governance.”
— President Tinubu

Tinubu championed Tax Reform.
Now, the conversation has moved to State Police.

"...No governor in this country, in any of your states is running around the banks to borrow money to pay the salaries of their workers..." - President Tinubu
Ask the governors and local government chairmen you elected. They receive statutory allocations regularly, and under the current administration those allocations have increased significantly.
If schools lack buses or hospitals lack ambulances, hold your state and local leaders accountable. Education and primary healthcare largely fall within their responsibilities. Why blame the President for the failures of leaders you elected to manage those sectors at the state and local levels?
The Ekiti state police command has detained four Pakistani nationals following reports of their suspicious presence in Iyin-Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun LGA of the state.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication, the suspects were apprehended after residents raised concerns about the presence of unfamiliar individuals in the community, triggering tension among residents.
Quoting sources, Makama said a distress call was received by the Iyin-Ekiti police division on June 9, prompting officers to immediately mobilise to the area.
“Upon arrival at the scene, police operatives intercepted and arrested four men identified as Muhammad Yusuf, 47; Ghani Abdul, 36; Abdul Jabbar, 46; and Yusuf Muhammad, 47,” Makama said.
“The suspects reportedly told investigators that they were nationals of Pakistan who had travelled to Nigeria to sell mobile phones and engage in sightseeing activities.
“However, police sources said the men were unable to provide satisfactory explanations or documentation regarding their activities and presence in the community at the time of their arrest.”
