🚨; Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad
🗣️: If anyone must die, let it be me.
Those were among the final words of Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Abu Ali before a Boko Haram ambush claimed his life in 2016.
Known as the Fearless Lion, Abu Ali led from the front, helping reclaim several towns from insurgents and inspiring his troops with uncommon courage. Despite facing fear like any human being, he never backed down from battle.
On the night of November 4, 2016, after leading a successful operation in Mallam Fatori, he urged his men to stay alert and made the ultimate sacrifice when insurgents launched a surprise attack.
Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Abu Ali remains a symbol of bravery, sacrifice, and selfless service to Nigeria. May his soul continue to rest in peace. 🇳🇬🕊️
BREAKING: HEZBOLLAH LEADER SHEIKH NAEEM QASSEM IN A LETTER TO IRAN’S GHALIBAF:
“We have always said that Iran has given everything to Hezbollah, the resistance, and the people of Lebanon and has taken nothing from them.
Iran has provided us with facilities, the power to liberate our land, to heal the wounds of our society, and to help it. Now Iran is shedding blood, confronting the Zionist regime's attack in response to its assault on southern Beirut's Dahieh, and enduring the consequences that herald a war with great sacrifices. I say loudly: Iran is a symbol of dignity and honor.”
A must read: Some Kachalla Terrorists from ohaofia kidnapped two young girls and demanded ₦20 million ransom, ₦10 million for each of them.
The youths of Ohaofia did not wait for the governor.
They did not wait for politicians. They did not wait for anybody. They organized themselves, went into the bush, rescued their two sisters, and apprehended the kidnappers.
The most important thing is that the girls were brought back alive.
Surprisingly, this story did not make major headlines across the country. Yet, it is one of those stories that shows the courage, unity, and determination that still exist in our communities.
The people of Ohaofia stood up for their own when it mattered most.
Whether this is the direction communities should take in the face of growing insecurity is a conversation Nigerians must have.
One thing is certain: the youths of Ohaofia have shown courage that many people will not forget.
Kudos to Ohaofia Youths.
Look closely at this image.
This is not a barracks.
This is not a comfortable room.
This is not the life most Nigerians would accept for even a week.
These are men sleeping inside trenches dug into the earth, covered with mosquito nets, surrounded by dust, danger, snakes, disease, and the constant fear of an attack in the dead of night.
And yet, when one of them is killed, some people laugh.
When terrorists are neutralized, some rush online to question the Army. When soldiers fall in battle, some celebrate. When troops spend months away from their families, some keyboard "analysts" who have never seen a battlefield suddenly become experts on warfare.
The painful truth is that many Nigerians will never know the name of the soldier who died protecting their community, but they will spend hours defending those who threaten it.
That young soldier in the trench could be someone's son. Someone's husband. Someone's father. Somewhere, a mother prays for him every night, hoping he comes home alive. Somewhere, a child is waiting for the father who missed birthdays, school events, and family celebrations because he was busy protecting people he has never met.
You do not have to love the military. You do not have to agree with every operation.
But if you can sleep comfortably in your bed while another Nigerian sleeps in a hole in the ground so that terrorists do not take over your town, then the least you owe him is respect.
Before criticizing the soldier, ask yourself a simple question:
Would you trade your bed for that trench tonight? 🇳🇬🫡💔

I never saw these people as celebrities. To me, they’re just ordinary people….nothing particularly special about them. They’ve already damaged their reputation and shown little regard for their own dignity, let alone that of their families and the people who look up to them as role models.
Being famous doesn’t automatically make someone worthy of admiration.
MY HEART IS BROKEN 💔
Today has been one of the most painful days in 2026.
I parked my car near Marhaba Cinema, Farm Centre, and stepped away for a short while. When I returned, I was shocked to discover that my car had been broken into and my bag stolen.
Inside the bag were my laptop, mobile phone, important documents, cash.
I sincerely ask my friends, family, and well wishers to keep me in their prayers and kindly share this post as widely as possible. Your support, prayers, and assistance mean a lot to me during this difficult moment.
Late Ali Kwara, the Hero Northern Forest…
Ali Kwara wore no official uniform, yet his name struck fear into the hearts of criminals.
Ali Kwara, popularly known as Alhaji Ali Muhammad Kwara, was a renowned son of Bauchi State from Azare town in Katagum Local Government Area. He became famous across Northern Nigeria for his bravery in combating armed robbers, bandits, kidnappers, and other criminal elements.
Throughout his life, Ali Kwara worked as a hunter and collaborated closely with security agencies such as the police and military in tracking down criminals in forests and remote areas. On many occasions, he led operations and assisted the government in arresting notorious offenders and recovering weapons from the hands of criminals.
He became especially prominent in northern states such as Bauchi, Gombe, Katsina, Zamfara, and other areas, where he ventured deep into forests to track bandits, disrupt their activities, and help bring them to justice. His courage earned him nicknames such as “The Forest Hero” and “Thief Catcher.”
For over 20 years, Ali Kwara worked alongside security agencies, helping to identify and apprehend criminals before handing them over to the police for prosecution. Although he was not an official government security officer, he dedicated his life to fighting insecurity.
Ali Kwara was not only a crime-fighting hero but also a philanthropist. In his hometown of Azare, he provided food for the less privileged, supported orphans and widows, and assisted needy families without asking for anything in return.
For many years, he ventured into forests in pursuit of criminals, helping security personnel arrest offenders and recover weapons.
He was not only a hero in the fight against crime but also a benefactor to the poor, orphans, and widows within his community.
One remarkable story often told about him was that whenever bandits heard he was operating in their area, they would flee or disperse because of the fear his name inspired and the reputation he had built through his bravery.
Eventually, he faced a serious illness and passed away on November 6, 2020, in Abuja after a period of medical treatment. His body was returned to Azare, where a funeral attended by large crowds, governors, and prominent figures was held in his honor.
Ali Kwara left behind a powerful legacy in Nigeria’s security sector, and many believe that few have matched his impact since his death. Numerous people regard him as someone who played a significant role in reducing insecurity across Northern Nigeria. To this day, his name continues to live on in the hearts of many as a true hero.
Ali Kwara was a champion who made important contributions to maintaining security during a period when armed robbery and banditry posed serious challenges to the country. Although not everyone fully understood the extent of his contributions, the history of his work remains an inspiration to those committed to justice, public safety, and service to their communities.
May Allah forgive him and grant him mercy. 🙏🏼

In 1946, Isaac Woodard, WWII veteran, hours after being honorably discharged, was attacked by South Carolina police while still in uniform when taking the bus home & left permanently BLIND The officers were acquitted by an all white jury.
—Isaac enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942 at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C, and served in the Pacific Theater as a longshoreman in a labor battalion. In February 1946, the decorated soldier received an honorable discharge at Camp Gordon, which is located near Augusta, Georgia.
Along with other discharged soldiers, Woodard boarded a Greyhound bus on February 12 to travel home. A conflict was triggered when the white bus driver belittled the army veteran for asking to take a bathroom break.
At the next stop, Woodard was met by the Chief Linwood Shull of the Batesburg, South Carolina police. While still in his army uniform, the police forcibly removed him from the bus and arrested him for disorderly conduct.
They beat Woodward, and the next day he was convicted of 'drunken and disorderly conduct' and fined $50. They also refused to take him to hospital after beating him for several days. The beatings that he suffered while in police custody caused him Permanent Blindness.

One thing I love about my beautiful religion Islam, is that even if you see someone leave Islam, you will also see many others embracing it. This is one of the reasons Islam is known as the fastest-growing religion on earth
“They were all my juniors, starting from Obasanjo. I know their characters more than anyone. President Muhammadu Buhari is kind, the most disciplined, the most diligent, and the most responsible in carrying out his duties.” — Gen. Yakubu Gowon
A powerful tribute from a respected elder statesman who witnessed decades of Nigeria’s leadership journey.
Whatever our political differences, history will remember Muhammadu Buhari for his discipline, commitment to duty, and unwavering dedication to serving Nigeria.
May Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and comfort his family and the nation he served.
Rest in perfect peace, Baba Buhari. 🇳🇬🕊️

Last night, the Kiswah, the beautifully embroidered black cloth that covers the Holy Kaaba, was replaced in keeping with the longstanding tradition. The Kiswah is traditionally replaced on the eve of the Islamic New Year, marking the beginning of a new Hijri year with a profound symbol of renewal and devotion.
