The Herd arrives at a perilous moment for Nigeria, and unfortunately, it constitutes a deeply flawed cultural offering at a time when clarity and sensitivity are most needed. Even though the film gestures toward the insecurity that defines contemporary Nigerian life…
I am pleased to announce the freedom of 163 kidnap victims abducted during the unfortunate terrorist attack on Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State. The victims were rescued from the Kanji Lake National Park Forest following concerted efforts by our security forces.
I thank His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the huge role he played in securing the freedom of our compatriots from captivity. About 145 persons abducted in Niger were also rescued in the same operation. We are grateful to Mr. President for his strong interest and support for the rescue operation.
I also commend the Office of the National Security Adviser; leadership and personnel of the Department of State Services; the Nigerian Army; and the Nigeria Police Force for their gallantry, resilience and strategic collaboration that culminated in the success we recorded in this rescue operation. We are very proud of our security forces and we will continue to support their efforts to protect the lives of our people.
The rescued citizens are currently receiving comprehensive medical care and support at a federal health facility. We will be glad to receive them in the state upon the completion of their medical procedures so that we can also offer necessary support to ease their reintegration process.
I urge residents of Kwara to continue to share useful security information with the authorities to forestall these criminal attacks and make our communities safer and more peaceful. I am grateful to President Bola Tinubu for committing more boots and military hardware on ground in our state with the establishment of new military formations. I am very hopeful that more successes lie ahead in our war against the terrorists. We will also continue to collaborate with our security to prevent the recurrence of this ugly trend.

…we still struggle to distinguish between wordplay and play-words: between meaningful storytelling and careless provocation.
The world is watching. May our craft not dissolve into dust, and may our shadows not betray us in this crucial hour.
Writers are meant to stand at the edges of society, illuminating truths without capitulating to convenient binaries. Yet here, we see a troubling drift toward taking sides where objectivity and artistic courage are required. It is disheartening that, as producers and directors…
it fails to capture the complexity of that reality. Its characterisation and plotting are riddled with gaps, gaps that risk reinforcing Islamophobic and “tribaphobic” narratives rather than interrogating them.

“My name is John. I have practically no online presence, and the reason for that is because I am scared to post things that I believe or really care about because I worry about what people will think of me. I am worried about missing out on opportunities because of an online footprint.
Yesterday, a man died. Presumably because he believed the same things that I believe in. I am a conservative and more importantly, I'm a Christian. I believe wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, that he died from our sins and rose again, and that he is God.
I know that in the grand scheme of things, I don't really matter. No one knows or even cares who I am. But If there's even one person who sees this and gains the courage to speak up themselves, that's why I'm making this. Just so that everybody knows that we're not alone.”
