I had the chance to discuss with the Nigerian Tribune some of the key bottlenecks that I think the Nigerian government, and in particular Kogi state, needs to address...

OPERATION HADIN KAI FOILS TERRORIST INFILTRATION, DISRUPTS LOGISTICS NETWORKS, ARRESTS COLLABORATORS
The Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) has recorded significant operational successes in its ongoing counterterrorism and counterinsurgency campaign across the North-East. Through a combination of offensive operations, intelligence-led actions, and collaboration with local security stakeholders, troops successfully foiled a terrorist infiltration attempt and disrupted terrorist logistics and support networks, further degrading the operational capabilities of insurgent groups in the Theatre.
In Borno State, troops responded swiftly to the sighting of terrorists advancing toward the North East Theatre Training School, Buni Yadi, at about 9:00 a.m. on 9 June 2026. Employing coordinated and precise fire missions, the troops neutralized the threat and denied the terrorists freedom of action. Subsequent exploitation of the area led to the recovery of two terrorist corpses and one motorcycle, confirming the effectiveness of the operation and the failure of the attempted infiltration.
In a series of intelligence-driven operations aimed at dismantling terrorist support structures, troops of 25 Brigade Garrison, in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), apprehended two suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP logistics suppliers, Mallam Bako Ibrahim and Abu Aji, along the Sierra 4 axis in Damboa. Similarly, troops of 162 Amphibious Battalion, working closely with the CJTF along the Mandaragirau–Sabon Gari road, arrested another suspected logistics supplier, Musa Idi. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects were involved in providing logistics support to terrorists operating within Damboa Local Government Area. Items recovered from the suspects included 19 wristwatches, one large mat, one transistor radio, two cartons of agro-allied chemicals, and other materials intended for terrorist use. The suspects and recovered items are currently in custody for further investigation and necessary action.
In a related development, combined troops of Sector 2 , in collaboration with the CJTF, arrested a 23-year-old suspect, Adams Shittima, in Damboa town at about 5:58 a.m. on 9 June 2026. The suspect was intercepted while attempting to procure farm implements and mosquito nets for terrorist elements. During preliminary interrogation, he confessed to providing both logistics support and information to terrorists operating within Damboa Local Government Area, further exposing the network of collaborators sustaining insurgent activities in the area.
Meanwhile, sustained military offensives and relentless pressure on terrorist enclaves continue to weaken insurgent networks and compel their members to abandon criminal activities. The Military High Command commends the troops for their professionalism, vigilance, resilience, and unwavering commitment in the ongoing fight against terrorism and criminality. These operational achievements underscore the resolve of Operation HADIN KAI to dismantle terrorist support structures, deny insurgents freedom of action, protect law-abiding citizens, and create conditions conducive to lasting peace, security, and socio-economic recovery across the North-East.

One of the problems I have with him is that he does not seem to understand the job he is vigorously pursuing. Bro, Primary Health Care (PHC) can never be the President's headache. 🤦
It is the responsibility of local governments to build, staff, and operate PHCs, with support from the states and the Federal Government through the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA).
In Lagos State, for instance, there are over 300 PHCs. I believe almost every ward has one.
If you ask him how many PHCs he initiated or supported during his time as Governor of Anambra State, he will start stammering. Can someone bring out the record of PHCs he initiated during his time as Governor.
As for the "in the first four years" comment, it's nothing serious 🤣.
These are the people the whole of Africa fought for.
We don’t hate them enough Walahi. The entire world needs to be against them.
The Israel 🇮🇱 government must charge them to ICC
Fight against insurgency will be difficult if Nigerians are not ready to support Nigerian armed forces
~ Nigeria 🇳🇬 Defence Minister, Christopher Musa says
“Banditry, insurgency, terrorism… why does it seem so difficult to deal with it?”
Minister of Defence Christopher Musa explained that armed groups “survive around the people” through food and information supplied to them; he described these enablers as the “oxygen” sustaining their operations.

One time I was scared of South Africans was the time two passengers strangled an Uber driver to d£ath.
I read comments from them, they said the guy was a student and should not even be working, hence, his d£ath was justified.
Those guys are disgusting and one of the most despicable people on earth.
Yesterday’s FIFA World Cup Opening showed what this handful of hateful Ntelezi idiots have done for South Africa’s international reputation and decades of goodwill.
All the genuine outrage against illegal immigration has drowned under their violent acts, human rights violations and threats while they run around the country barefoot telling us they are “men”
Decades of goodwill built on international solidarity, opposition to Israeli genocide in Palestine, cooperation with other nations, gone to dust.
Football is a global language where even politics find expression, and these jokes about how SA at the World Cup is in a “rush to go home and defend their jobs and women” or how “They can’t attack Mexico because they are not African and Black” - this is not only banter, it’s political satire
It shows how the world view is shifting towards viewing South Africa as a hub of hate, something that has never been part of our identity. I mean we are being compared to Argentina and Morocco, who have committed human rights atrocities against Africans respectively.
The State should take responsibility for allowing hate groups which stop children at clinics, schools, beat people and in some instances incite murder, to define our international identity. It’s not a joke, and we cannot banter our way out of it. It’s a stain.
South Africa being regarded as the hate capital of Africa at a FIFA World Cup would have been unimaginable in 2010.
Israel is smiling wherever it is, because its mission accomplished. We have lost our moral authority on the global stage.
TROOPS OF OPERATION HADIN KAI ARREST SUSPECTED KIDNAPPERS, RECOVER AK-47 RIFLES IN BORNO
Troops of Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI have continued to dominate the battlefield with massive operational gains in the ongoing fight against terrorism and criminality in the North East region, with the arrest of suspected kidnappers and the recovery of arms and ammunition in Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno State.
Acting on credible intelligence, troops conducted a well-coordinated operation along a known criminal corridor in Magumeri, leading to the arrest of 5 suspected members of a kidnapping syndicate responsible for terrorising innocent civilians within the area. During the operation, troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, magazines and ammunition, thereby disrupting the criminal network’s operational capability and denying the suspects the means to perpetrate further acts of violence.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects are linked to kidnapping and other criminal activities within parts of Borno State. The arrested individuals are currently in custody and are assisting security agencies with further investigations aimed at apprehending other members of the syndicate and dismantling their support networks.
The successful operation highlights the relentless commitment of the Nigerian Army to safeguarding lives and property while sustaining offensive actions against terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal elements threatening national security.
The Nigerian Army remains resolute in its mission to ensure lasting peace, security and stability across the country.
President Tinubu largest Debt Accumulator in untrue.
There has been public commentary that has portrayed the current administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s most aggressive borrower since the return to democracy in 1999, with some commentators saying it has borrowed more than all previous democratic administrations combined.
However, the available evidence does not support these conclusions. In May 2023, Nigeria’s external debt stock stood at approximately $42.5 billion when President Tinubu assumed office, and by December 2025, it had risen to approximately $51.9 billion, representing a net increase of around $9.4 billion. By contrast, Nigeria’s external debt increased from approximately $10.3 billion in 2015 to $42.9 billion by 2023, representing a net addition of about $32.6 billion during the Buhari administration.
This evidence, therefore, indicates that the largest increase in Nigeria’s external debt stock in the democratic era occurred between 2015 and 2023, and President Tinubu is not Nigeria’s largest borrower since the return to democratic rule in 1999.
It can, however, be said that this claim of unprecedented borrowing under the current administration stems largely from the revaluation of inherited foreign-currency obligations following the June 2023 exchange-rate adjustment.
