Let me be clear: even if the United States intensifies its airstrikes against terrorist positions across Nigeria, that alone will not end insecurity. In fact, it will have little to no real impact on the situation on the ground. What we need is genuine cooperation and support for the Nigerian military to take the fight directly to these guerrilla terrorist groups in their enclaves. This can only be achieved through the provision of sophisticated military hardware, increased manpower, and, most importantly, the political will of the Nigerian government to end terrorism. Our security challenges have gone beyond hyping sporadic airstrikes on social media or boasting about military prowess.
JUST IN: The FBI has filed a civil forfeiture complaint to seize property belonging to Lagos-based fraudster Ehiremen Aigbokhan for stealing more than N460 million in funds meant for U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration.
The scammer spoofed emails by creating a fake domain (@t47lnaugural.com), swapping a lowercase "L" for an uppercase "I" to mimic the official @t47inaugural.com, impersonating co-chair Steve Witkoff. This tricked a donor into sending $250,300 in USDT crypto on Dec 26, 2024, to scammer-controlled wallets. Funds were laundered across addresses, with some traced to Ehiremen Aigbokhan's Binance account in Lagos; $40k was frozen by authorities.
People will abuse you, accuse, degrade you, belittle you, insult you and pass judgement against you. All this without knowing you, your circumstances, challenges, sacrifices or how far you've come. They've never met you, spoken to you or had any interaction with you. They forget that the Lord of the Worlds is watching. He will not let it go. Not so easily.
