"Police released Armed Fulani Militia, we arrested & gave them their AK-47's back to them"
Gov. Udom - *"We arrested persons with fake army uniforms carrying 18 AK-47's rifles and handed them over to the police"*
However, the police hierarchy gave express orders that those persons should be released and their guns handed back to them.
We want to let the world know that if there is a breakdown of law and order tomorrow, the police should be held responsible.
All attempts to speak with the top hierarchy of the police in the zone and at Abuja were rebuffed.

SCANDAL IN NIGERIA
11,000 Indians hired to work in the Dangote refinery!
Dangote, India, and the burning mirror: what is happening to Nigeria is happening to all of Africa
There are truths that do more than wound pride; they puncture illusions, strip hypocrisy bare, and throw us—naked—before our own contradictions.
The Dangote case is one of them.
11,000 Indian technicians recruited because Nigeria couldn’t find 100 locally.
In a country of 235 million inhabitants, Africa’s largest economy, the self-proclaimed giant of the continent.
This is the clinical diagnosis of an illness that affects not just Abuja: it runs through the entire African body.
Many are shouting “scandal.”
I see a mirror.
And a mirror never lies.
1. Africa wasn’t defeated by tanks, but by polytechnics
People accuse Dangote of preferring Indians.
False.
Dangote prefers people who know how to run a refinery. Period.
It isn’t India that is humiliating us; it is our inability to produce skills that match our ambitions.
While Africa organizes summits, “national dialogues,” endless conferences, India organizes classrooms.
While we politicize technical education, India professionalizes it.
While we glorify long chains of theoretical diplomas, India trains thousands of hands-on technicians.
Indians didn’t take Lagos by force.
They are entering with their screwdrivers, their software, their skills.
2. Without skills, even our billionaires become dependent
Dangote is not the problem.
He’s actually the proof that wealth cannot compensate for weak human capital.
We may have oil, bauxite, gold, cobalt, lithium…
But until we have the men and women capable of transforming them, we remain tenants of our own development.
We provide:
the land,
the raw materials,
the tax exemptions,
sometimes even public money…
Others provide the brains.
And in the end, they walk away with the largest share of the added value.
Africa is a continent where you can build a port in 18 months—using foreign labor.
But where it takes 25 years to modernize a technical high school.
That should wake us up.
3. Technical education: our silent Waterloo
Our technical schools, where they still exist, operate with:
machines from the 1980s,
teachers who haven’t been retrained,
frozen curricula,
workshops turned into dusty museums,
students considered “less brilliant” than those in general education.
This is where everything begins.
This is where India beats us.
Not at Dangote.
Not in Lagos.
At school.
African parents dream of lawyers, doctors, and MPs…
Rarely of industrial mechanics, electromechanics, maintenance technicians, or process engineers.
Our societies continue to look down on technical jobs, even though the modern world depends entirely on them.
4. Nigeria’s problem is Africa’s problem: DRC, Kenya, Cameroon, Senegal… same fight
What is happening today in Nigeria is not exceptional.
It is the predicted future of all African countries if they do not wake up.
Across the continent:
Our power plants are repaired by foreigners.
Our mines are calibrated by foreigners.
Our dams are built by foreigners.
Our data centers are configured by foreigners.
Our roads are paved by foreigners.
And we applaud, as if development were about cutting ribbons.
Real development begins when we no longer need them for basic operations.
5. The mental revolution: turn every technical school into a talent factory
No magic.
No slogans.
No hollow “Vision 2030.”
Development requires:
qualified welders,
certified electronic technicians.
Culled
I’m an Igbo man.
Bring Orji Uzor Kalu from the South East against Prof. Yemi Osibanjo from the SW. I will support Osibanjo with my entire household.
Bring Rochas Okorocha against Omoyele Sowore, I will support Sowore even in my dreams.
Bring Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi from the North and Rochas Okorocha from the East. I will support Sanusi with my entire household.
Bring Donald Duke from Cross River and Okezie Ikpeazu from Abia, I will not only support Donald Duke, I will campaign vigorously for him.
If you now bring Peter Obi against Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar. I will support Peter Obi over and over again.
90 percent of Igbos will tow this same line.
If you say we are playing tribal politics because of this, no wahala. We are happy to play such tribal politics.
If you say we are mumu people for supporting who does not have the capacity to rig himself into power, no wahala. We are mumu people.
Just for the records. I have never voted for an Igbo presidential candidate prior to the last general election.
That’s how politically tribalistic Igbos are.

Sometimes, you read a story that makes the blood in your veins run cold.
Blessing's baby, Victory, was born premature and diagnosed with hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain), and she needs an urgent ₦1,000,000 surgery to survive.
Instead of support, Blessing’s husband called her a witch for having a sick child and threw her and their baby out onto the street.
Now, Blessing is alone, fighting for her daughter's life with nothing.
Her husband turned his back, but we will not.
AprokoNation, let's be the family she needs right now. Let's save Victory.

If you cannot donate, please, I am begging you, your retweet is a powerful gift. It might be the one that brings the help this mother and child desperately need. God bless you.
@valleychanger @AdesolaBlessin9 It's not about their weight, remember they always go for the jugular and once the jugular is clinched onto, it's all over. Except for the rhino that have a tusk.
