I commend Mallam Nuhu Ribadu’s strategic leadership. ONSA, working with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the US Mission, has validated Nigeria’s first comprehensive strategy against organised crime ahead of its planned August launch. Coordination and partnership are vital to lasting security.

VIDEO: Three jailed for life over Oyo school kidnapping

A federal high court in Abuja has sentenced three men to life imprisonment over the kidnapping of students and teachers at a school in Orire LGA of Oyo state.

Salim Ibrahim, presiding judge, sentenced the convicts after they pleaded guilty to some of the charges brought against them by the federal government.

The convicts are Abdulrazak Umar, also known as Abu Khalifa or Abu Khalid; Yunusa Musa, also known as Yunusa bin Musa; and Shamsu Adamu Sani, also known as Abu Itisar.

Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu has honoured Inspector John Jerome Abena, who died during the operation to rescue the abducted Oriire schoolchildren and teachers. He has promised the late officer’s family will not be neglected.

May his Soul Rest in Peace.

In 2009, as the rerun governorship election in Ekiti approached, P.M. News reported allegations that the poll was being turned into a "do-or-die" contest.

According to P.M. News, a wiretap of a meeting revealed that Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola allegedly told PDP leaders he would supply guns, ammunition, and fake army uniforms for use during the April 25 rerun between Kayode Fayemi (Action Congress) and Segun Oni (PDP).

The alleged plan was to disguise thugs as soldiers, intimidate AC supporters from voting and ensure only PDP supporters turned out. The meeting reportedly took place on April 3, 2009, at Jibowu Hall inside the Osun State Government House, with the 16 Ekiti local government chairmen in attendance.

P.M. News published what it described as excerpts of Oyinlola's recorded remarks, in which he allegedly urged party leaders to "mobilise" their supporters, release money for the operation, and ensure that "PDP must rule this state whether they like it or not."

The Federal Government has arraigned three suspects arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) over the kidnapping of the Oyo schoolchildren and teachers.

The Federal Government had, last week, charged them Abdulrazak Umar (a.k.a. Abu Khalifa/Abu Khalid), Yunusa Musa (a.k.a. Yunusa bin Musa), and Shamsu Adamu Sani (a.k.a. Abu Itisar) – for the recent kidnapping of children and teachers of a school in the Oriire Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo State.

This is just yet another example why you shouldn't take anything at face value from such accounts, if you look at the end of the video in the bottom right, you'll see that firstly the video was released by JAS, not ISWAP, and secondly it says 1441H (2019/2020), which is 6/7 whole years ago.

And what's even funnier, or sadder however you want to look at it, is that he doubles down by mentioning so-called "intelligence sources" to add some sort of backstory to the killed individual and add credibility.

A strange thing is happening in Nigeria.

A young man spends 20 years climbing the educational ladder.

6 years in primary school.
6 years in secondary school.
4 to 6 years in university.
1 year of NYSC.

By the time he is done, he has invested roughly 6,500 to 7,000 days preparing for life.

Then life arrives and asks a simple question:

“What problem can you solve?”

Silence.

Not because he is unintelligent.

Not because he is lazy.

But because somewhere along the journey, we confused education with certification.

We taught people how to pass exams, not how to create value.

Think about it.

An electrician who never attended university can walk into a building worth N500 million and confidently power every room from the foundation to the penthouse.

A graduate with multiple certificates may stand beside him unable to identify which wire powers the building.

One has credentials.

The other has capability.

The market pays for capability.

That is why reality often delivers a rude mathematical lesson.

If a graduate earns N100,000 monthly, that is N1.2 million annually.

A skilled technician charging N40,000 per job and handling just two jobs weekly earns over N4 million yearly.

Same country.

Different skills.

Different outcomes.

The tragedy is not that one earns more than the other.

The tragedy is that we keep preparing millions of young people for a race that no longer exists.

We celebrate admission lists like victory trophies.

We celebrate graduation photos like guaranteed employment letters.

Then we act surprised when hundreds of applicants compete for one vacancy.

Imagine 1,000 people chasing 10 jobs.

Basic mathematics says 990 people will be disappointed.

No motivational speaker can negotiate with arithmetic.

Yet we continue producing graduates faster than we produce opportunities.

That is like manufacturing keys without building doors.

The painful irony?

The people we once looked down on are increasingly becoming the people we depend on.

When your transformer fails at midnight, you do not call a philosophy graduate.

When your water stops running, you do not search for a political scientist.

When your air conditioner breaks in April heat, theory suddenly becomes less important than technical competence.

The economy has a brutal honesty.

It rewards usefulness more than status.

Nations that understood this long ago built prosperity differently.

They stopped asking only, “How many graduates do we have?”

They started asking, “How many builders, technicians, machinists, coders, welders, mechanics and innovators can we produce?”

There is dignity in intellectual work.

There is dignity in skilled labour.

The mistake is ranking one above the other.

A society that worships certificates while neglecting competence eventually discovers that framed documents cannot build roads, repair machines, wire factories, manufacture products or create wealth.

The future belongs to people who can solve problems.

Whether they learned it in a lecture hall, a workshop, an apprenticeship centre or under a mango tree is secondary.

Because at the end of the day, the market does not award marks.

It awards value.

And value has never asked to see anybody’s certificate before writing the cheque.

May Nigeria win 🇳🇬🇳🇬
