Update: Boko Haram is set to conduct an Islamic Graduation ceremony for over 100 forgotten women and kids who were kidnapped in Woro, Kwara State 4-months ago, where the Emir & Imam rejected Sharia. And, the cost of the ceremony will be added to the bill sent to the Government.

After forcibly converting them to Islam, the terrorists taunted families that they spent the past months teaching all the surviving victims Quran recitation and Islam teachings, and many of the captives have done well, so they’d be rewarded with graduation ceremonies soon.

But whatever they spend will be added to the ransom demand they will be sending to the Government.

Back in February this year, Woro community in Kaiama LGA, Kwara North was attacked by a Sadiku-led Boko Haram faction, a Sahel Terror network slowly creeping down southern Nigeria, per Zagazola Makama.

They were angry after the Emir and Imam repeatedly rejected their imposition of Shariah in the community and then reported them to the Nigerian Army.

So they stormed the village on an evening and massacred over 200 people, in a two days operation; Incl. the Emir’s wives and kids, the community Chief Imam, a school principal, a headmistress and several students, and kidnapped 176 people including pregnant women and kids.

This is just one of many forgotten kidnap cases in the country.

Last April, Boko Haram demanded ₦3.7bn for 400 forgotten women and children they kidnapped in Ngoshe, Borno State months earlier, or they’d be executed. They then dared the Nigerian Army to come after them, Telegraph reported.

Boko Haram insurgents attacked a Nigerian military position early this morning around 3 AM, and eight of our gallant soldiers tragically lost their lives.

This horrific attack can only happen due to a catastrophic failure of intelligence.
As someone who has extensively traveled and even lived in Northern Nigeria, I can tell you for free that the Nigerian state has absolutely no regard for the lives of our me in uniform. They treat frontline soldiers as disposable pawns on a chessboard of massive corruption.

Naturally, a military outpost is supposed to be the most fortified, impenetrable, and safest coordinate of any town that hosts it.
But the way it is set up in Nigeria is a total death trap and a tragic mockery of modern military architecture.
These military outposts are essentially nothing more than makeshift, vulnerable camps, lazily fenced with deteriorating cement bags filled with sand, patched together with cheap razor wire, and frequently plunged into absolute darkness the moment the sun sets because there is no reliable power supply to even light up the perimeter.

These military outposts in the North lacks helium-filled aerostat balloons equipped with high-definition thermal, infrared, and optical cameras that are considered a priority in advanced countries.
In any serious military operation, these tethered surveillance balloons are flown hundreds of feet above the base to provide constant 360-degree overwatch of the surrounding terrain.
They can pierce through the dead of night and heavy forest canopies. This basic, standard-issue setup would make it physically impossible for these terrorists to gather their forces, maneuver heavy technical vehicles, or set up deadly mortar positions undetected in the dark.

Along with the surveillance balloons floating in the sky, there are supposed to be acoustic and seismic sensors buried strategically across a wide square radius around these bases. These autonomous early-warning systems instantly detect the heavy vibrations and coordinated movements of insurgent convoys, motorcycle swarms, or stealth foot patrols approaching through tactical blind spots or low-visibility terrain, triggering the base alarms long before the first shot is even fired.

These defensive technologies are not science fiction, and they are absolutely not prohibitively expensive. The billions of naira that the Nigerian government is currently wasting to build luxury mansions for compromised judges, to purchase fleets of bulletproof SUVs for bloated lawmakers, and to fund frivolous presidential yacht budgets can easily purchase these exact surveillance systems en masse from defense contractors in China or Turkey.

It is a deliberate, calculated political choice not to properly equip these bases. The political elites in Abuja would rather watch our brave, under-equipped troops be slaughtered needlessly in their sleep by rag-tag militias than divert a single fraction of their looted wealth toward the actual preservation of human life and genuine national security.

Well…make the right decision in 2027.

It is an unfortunate turn of events that rather than focusing on academics, our school children have now turned into prayer warriors over man-made issues.✍️

Again recency bias.

There are hundreds of Anglican (CMS), Baptist and CAC schools and hospitals nationwide and they are not stopping soon.

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The @NigeriaGov Nigeria wants oyo state to become a representation of it's failure, I think the current regime should defeat the terrorist in the North East instead of paying them of. A sovereign state doesn't pay terrorist.

This is actually sexual assault. This is why Nigerian men are jailed abroad every day for sexual assault and being predators. They don’t understand the concept of consent. Why would he even wager such a thing? Despite seeing the girl was uncomfortable, he didn’t take it as his cue to back off.

Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity

I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.

I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.

It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.

To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.

No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.

I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO
