KANO SECURITY OPERATIVES INTERCEPT SUSPECTED ARMS COURIER, RECOVER ASSAULT RIFLES, RPG TUBES
A major breakthrough in the fight against arms trafficking has led to the arrest of a suspected weapons courier and the recovery of high calibre arms by the Kano State Security Service.
Muhammad Ibrahim reports that this intelligence driven operation, carried out along the Gezawa axis of the state, led to the interception of the suspect, Abubakar Muhammad, who was allegedly conveying the weapons from Maigatari in Jigawa State to Funtua in Katsina State.
When you make your private life a public knowledge, be ready to carry the weight that comes with it . Particularly Northern Nigeria that scrutinize every cell of that Affair.
Same thing was said in 2023. If you understand the dynamics of Kano politics and the unalloyed loyalty of ardent Kwankwasiyya follower who has voter card, winning against Shekarau will be a workout come 2027
Truth be told Kwankwaso didn’t handle the NDC consensus well. Gawuna is not satisfied with the senatorial ticket and Gwarzo can’t beat Abba Kabir Yusuf.
All in all, kano is in the bag for APC in 2027. Congratulations to AKY and Bola Ahmed Tinubu in advance.
The people of Daura, Sandamu and Mai’Adua Federal Constituency are calling on Yusuf Buhari, the son of our late boss, President Muhammadu Buhari, to heed their request and step forward to contest for the House of Representatives seat in the 2027 elections. Allah ya bada sa’a!
Rufai vs Mehdi: The Difference Between Confrontation and Conversation.
Rufai is trying to pull both the emotional card and the racial card, claiming that Nigerians praised Mehdi only because he is a white man from the U.S. But that comparison simply does not hold.
First, there was an exchange between Mehdi and Bwala. It was not a one-sided shouting match.
Second, most of Mehdi’s questions were short; between five to ten seconds, which gave Bwala enough room to respond fully.
Third, there was no harsh tone and no shutting anyone down during the conversation.
Fourth, there were moments where both Mehdi and Bwala even shared laughter, which shows the discussion maintained a civil atmosphere.
In Rufai’s case, however, he held the floor for almost two minutes, more focused on displaying how intelligent he was rather than engaging the ambassador. He was confronting someone about an alleged act involving national security yet he claimed to have facts without even stating his sources.
More telling was his body language. Instead of keeping focus on the guest, he kept looking around the studio, seemingly concerned about who was watching him. By contrast, Mehdi, despite having a live audience, kept his gaze fixed on Bwala throughout the interview.
Now imagine if Mehdi had actually shouted Bwala down. Many of the same people defending Rufai would have immediately screamed racism. Yet we rarely acknowledge how prejudiced we can be ourselves in how we judge others.
Unfortunately, among many of us, loudness is often mistaken for intelligence, and shouting is mistaken for boldness.
Let’s be honest: if Rufai had interviewed Bwala the way he handled that ambassador, the conversation would likely have ended in an argument or outright confrontation.
But in Mehdi’s case, it remained a dialogue. Bwala had the opportunity to answer every question. In fact, the only time questions went unanswered was when Bwala himself chose to dodge them or repeat the same line.
So this is not about race.
It is about the difference between a confrontation and a conversation.
While intelligence is rational, wealth creation is rather behavioral/emotional. Intelligent people are often too rational to understand human needs, take risk and invest.
Focus in this era of numerous digital tools is the most expensive commodity. While being a specialist is
