Tonight, our nation has reason to give thanks.
The children and teachers abducted by Ansaru terrorists in Oyo State have been rescued by our security forces, alive and unharmed. No ransom was paid. No concession was made.
I salute every officer and operative whose courage, discipline, and professionalism made this possible.
To those who seek to spread fear through terror, know that the Nigerian state will pursue you relentlessly. We will protect our people, defend our communities, and never relent until peace and security prevail across our country.

Back in 2006, around 9 PM, I was standing at the entrance gate of OAU (Obafemi Awolowo University) when I flagged down a Mercedes Benz 180 for a lift into campus. The driver stopped, and I hopped in. It wasn't until we reached Oduduwa Building that I looked the driver in the face and realized it was none other than Pa Kola Oyewo. I greeted him excitedly and apologized for not recognizing him sooner. He simply replied that he thought I had known who he was before I stopped his vehicle. We both shared a good laugh over the coincidence.
Goodnight, Pa Kola Oyewo. May your soul rest in peace.
I think DSTV are really usΒ£less, 4 different supersport stations will be showing the England vs Costa Rica game
And Nigeria vs Portugal will not be shown on any of the channels.
This same @DStvNg@DStv broadcasted the PORTUGAL vs CHILE game.
I mean what are they now useful for?
Very annoying thing, with the price for subscription yet the canβt even do what they need to do.
Nigerians shouldnβt be struggling trying to watch the game on a whole @DStv@DStv
A good man has gone to be with the LORD. Very loyal , professional and compassionate. He was best at what he did, and maybe just a bit too satisfied to just stay in his corner of strength. GOD will bless the seed you left behind and make them greater than youππ½. @temiokomi
Dr. Charles Stanley went home to the place he'd pointed so many of us toward. His life was a testament to one simple, unwavering truth: obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.

On this anniversary of Dr. Stanleyβs homegoing, we pray that the God who shepherded Dr. Stanley all his days walk closely with you today, filling you with His comfort, His strength, and His abiding hope.
Temisan was passionate about the hotel. He put all his money and energy into it. If you are in the area, pls patronise his business

Thank you all so much.
I'm overwhelmed with the kindness and love
I didn't know today will be like this.
Worst day of my life since May 3, 2012.
Temisan Okomi. Brother, Best friend, Radio buddy, Comrade.
Rest in Peace Brother.
Those times we shared, the laughter, the thunder, the man that you were, even when we disagree.
I will miss you mahn!
Guy. Shouldn't have been like this, it's not right but God knows best. I have seen Veronica this morning, held your boys Mofe and Toju, spoken with your Mum. Go on with Godspeed, the lights will lead you home. Your watch is over, we have the watch now.
The recent news from Maiduguri, Borno State, is profoundly upsetting. I mourn those who lost their lives, sympathise with the injured and stand in solidarity with the people of Borno during this challenging time.
I want to make it categorically clear that these acts of terror are the final desperate and frantic attempts by criminals and terrorist elements trying to instil and spread fear, as they are under constant pressure from our brave armed forces and security agencies operating in various theatres.
We will continue to intensify our efforts against all criminal elements, wherever they may be.
I must commend the courage and fighting spirit of our patriotic troops who successfully repelled the coordinated attacks by these terrorists on military positions in the state.
The Monday attacks were desperate acts of the evil-minded terrorist groups. Our gallant military and civilian task forces will curtail and put them down.
Just last weekend, during a security meeting with leaders of security and intelligence agencies, I approved additional equipment and operational support to enhance their capabilities. This effort is already in progress.
Additionally, I have directed security chiefs to move to Maiduguri to take charge of the situation. I have also directed the emergency agencies to provide proper care for the injured.
There is no place in Nigeria where terrorists will find safety. We will locate them, confront them, and completely defeat them.
Nigeria will not succumb to fear.
