Jihadist groups like #ISWAP do not treat Ramadan as one month among twelve, they treat it as a deadline and carry out coordinated attacks.
We analyse conflict data to show how ISWAP is turning the Islamic holy month into a violent campaign.

Wallahi, some of those aspiring to be governor have shown through their past roles that they lack the character and leadership we truly need. Some come across as disrespectful, others are surrounded by the wrong influences. This is not just a time for prayers, it’s also a time to call on those in power to act in the best interest of the people. We need someone with at least the determination and commitment of Babagana Zulum, if not even better.
Most of us may not have any close or distant relationship with the new Defence Minister, Christopher Musa, but we are genuinely excited about his appointment. This is largely because of the positive energy and remarkable commitment he demonstrated in his previous assignments within the military.
Christopher Musa clearly carries the grace of God in his affairs, but he also has the goodwill, hopes, and expectations of the people behind him. He should not take that for granted.
Of all the challenges we face in the North, people are seriously debating whether it’s right to fart in front of your spouse . Priorities, my people… priorities!
Why splash billions on N40M+ sedans/SUVs for taxis? Safer rides, jobs, techy apps, sounds nice. But with 70% poverty, kids out of school, and potholes eating tires, it’s a budget black hole. Sustainable? No, debt and upkeep will tank it. Sense? None. Fix roads, clinics first
Israel’s Doha airstrikes are reckless, targeting Hamas but risking civilian lives and peace talks. Qatar deserves respect as a mediator. Demand a ceasefire! #PeaceNotWar
MSMEs are the backbone of every economy.
If a society doesn’t support their growth, it’s planning to fail.
Support means access to grants, affordable funding, and—most critically—stable electricity.
Build from the base up.
Northern governors need to think bigger. It's not enough to pay salaries & distribute goats or ₦5k on camera.
They can pool resources & build independent power plants. Reliable electricity is key to MSME growth & true industrialization.

I used to think @StanbicIBTC was one of the best banks, until I had an issue with my account. For over a month, I’ve been struggling to resolve it. Customer care directs me to the branch, but the staff there are unresponsive. So frustrating! 😤
South Korea removed its President for breaking the law, proving no one is above the rule of law. Strong institutions made it possible.
Now imagine if Nigeria held leaders accountable. Instead, politicians loot, rig & abuse power with zero consequences.
Most of these killings are cycles of retaliation. pain fueling more pain, violence breeding more violence. Without real justice and healing, the crisis will only grow. Justice for victims, not revenge, is the only way to break the cycle. #EndTheViolence
I Don’t have full details on Borno State’s demolitions, but it feels wrong and unjust. Concerned social media in Maiduguri isn’t amplifying these voices enough. These stories need to be heard.
As a clergyman, avoid directly condemning government policies. Instead, guide your congregation towards practical economic solutions, like starting small businesses. Encourage them to turn to God for intervention, and remind them that they can change their situation at the polls
