Dear @musa_kiliya, these guys moving are Vigilante and JTF working with the security forces in Bauchi and Gombe axis, this is not bandits as being reported by your account.
Bandits will open fire on security forces as little as 3 or four they will open fire on them.
Please guys this is not Ibadan, Nigeria. This is an Old video of an event in Ituri DR Congo.
Let's stop circulating fake news.
@DejiAdesogan@OfficialDSSNG abeg do your work by inviting @Somtolism7, he did this deliberately.
NDLEA quite like many other Security/Defence Agencies in Nigeria, does not get enough credit for the relentlessly outstanding work that they have been consistently doing based on their mandate. Job very well done, NDLEA. 🫡🇳🇬🫡
Factional Noise, Ill-Advised Strategy: The ADC Protest.
Let us be clear: the right to protest is not a license for political opportunism, nor is it a tool for blackmailing institutions into surrender. Those now shouting the loudest under the banner of grievance are, in many cases, recent converts, political migrants who only just arrived, yet already demand to harvest where they neither sowed nor invested.
This is the contradiction at the heart of the current noise from elements within the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Having plied their trade across multiple parties, often with little regard for institutional stability, they now seek to strong-arm the system into granting them legitimacy that their own processes and in some cases, the courts have yet to validate.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is not a clearing house for political desperation. It is not obligated to bend to street pressure, media theatrics, or the manufactured outrage of actors attempting to bypass due process. Where party constitutions are in dispute and matters are before the courts, INEC has a duty to stand down not cave in.
What we are witnessing is not principled dissent; it is calculated pressure. A familiar cast of recycled politicians, long accustomed to gaming weak structures, now testing whether they can once again bend the system to their will. But this is precisely the behavior a serious democracy must reject.
No country with any regard for institutional integrity allows a handful of itinerant political actors however loud to destabilize its processes. You do not reward indiscipline with recognition. You do not resolve internal incoherence through external intimidation. And you certainly do not permit those who ignored the rules yesterday to dictate outcomes today.
If there are grievances, the path is clear: follow your party’s constitution, submit to the courts, and earn legitimacy through process not protest. Anything else is not democracy; it is opportunism dressed up as agitation.
The line must hold. Institutions must not blink. And those who seek shortcuts must be prepared to confront the consequences of their own choices.

The Alternative.
"I believe that the President visit has in some ways elevated the level of goodwill for Nigeria. MOU that has been signed about port development is an investment to develop our ports. Because you have ports that were built some 40 years ago and the level of investment in those infrastructure has been very, very low. So I believe that this will help to improve the capacity of the port.

Dear @oyostategovt are you aware that ever since the killing of 5 NPS personnel in Oloka in Olorunsogo LGA, Oyo State by criminals, the illegal miners and non state actors have been collecting taxes from loggers in Old Oyo Ile to cut down the trees in the forest reserve? The reserve is no longer in the hands of NPS but non state actors who demand for taxes, make charcoal in the forest.
Governor Seyi Makinde @seyimakinde the state is sitting on a keg of gun powder awaiting to explode, state actors no longer have control over the forest in the state.
The @OYSG_MOENR should work with the Federal Government on this, before terrorism starts.
SOLUTION ORIENTED SOLDIER
“You all remember that Nigerian soldier who stopped a man walking home in anger over ₦1,500 he was owed?
At the checkpoint, he simply asked what was wrong. After hearing the man’s story, he offered him a bottle of Fearless Energy Drink to calm down a small act of kindness that spoke volumes.
The moment went viral… and something even bigger followed.
The makers of Fearless reached out to the soldier and supported him with funds to change the man’s life. He used it to get Ola a brand new motorcycle.
Just wait till you see Ola’s priceless reaction when he received the bike… ❤️
Proof that one small act of kindness can ripple into something life-changing.”
It is midweek, and before we rush into another round of noise and outrage, let me ask you something simple and honest.
Did Bola Ahmed Tinubu become great by chance, or by decades of calculated hard work, strategy, sacrifice, and resilience?
Let us stop pretending greatness is accidental. No one rises to the highest political office in a complex nation by luck. That level of “top” influence is built through structure, discipline, alliances, risk taking, endurance, and the ability to survive pressure that would crush many.
When people cannot match achievement, they attack it. When they cannot compete, they criticize it. Insecurity, jealousy, bitterness, and ignorance often hide behind loud insults. But noise has never replaced results. And since we are being real, many people also wonder where my own exceptional ability to make bold decisions, my knowledge, brilliance, wisdom, intelligence, political expertise, exposure, inner strength, resilience, mental toughness, and self discipline come from at my age. They wonder how I have continued to rise above detractors, oppressors, and nearly two decades of orchestrated attacks and calculated attempts to discredit and destroy me.
The answer is not complicated. My strength comes from Almighty God. My stability comes from faith. My growth comes from deliberate study and disciplined self development. I study unique world leaders, their leadership styles, their strategic thinking, their personal growth journeys, and their accomplishments. I observe patterns. I analyze power. I learn continuously, and I refine myself.
While some focused on plotting against me, I focused on building myself. While some invested energy in attacks, I invested mine in growth. That is the difference. I do what I want to do, how I want to do it, when I want to do it and I don’t stop doing what I want to do in my own time and style and I keep moving forward and living my purpose.
You may disagree with policies. That is your right. But reducing decades of political relevance and strategic positioning to luck is not intelligent analysis, It is emotional reaction.
Hard work leaves evidence. Structure leaves results, and legacy leaves impact.
So again, I ask respectfully, If it was so easy, why have you not done it?
Prof. Sandra Duru
By the end of this week, I, along with my team, will be reviewing the first one week of our going cashless at all our payment points at airports across the country in order to eliminate corruption and optimise revenue.
We will surely improve the efficiency of the new system as time progresses by developing new ideas, but this government is determined to end the practice of collecting cash at our gates. Kindly bear with us, please.
People with small empty brains focus on micro mundane and temporary metrics to judge progress.
It was price of bag of rice before. Now it is bag of cement.
Big brains think big! - mega infrastructures like coastal highway, mega refinery, mechanized farms, forex liberalization, unleashed government revenues to sub-national governments to boost local economies etc.
This is WRONG!
Cutting our films—Saworoide, Agogo Eewo, Ti Oluwa Nile’ Tundernolt Magun—into unauthorized reels and posting them online is not promotion. It is piracy and the destruction of our cultural work.
A film is a complete story, not fragments for quick views to make quick money illegally. This is stealing openly.
Please stop this practice and wickedness!
Support creators by watching and sharing films through the proper channels.
Let us protect, not diminish, our heritage. Stop this criminality.

The laziest opposition seen in the history of Nigeria’s democratic journey!
They start and end their campaigns on the social media, with a few street dramas at corn and groundnut joints.
They intimidate and bully voters online with vituperative tribal and religious posts, fantasize “real life stories” that never happened beyond their imagination, and make false claims with confident ignorance!
The Election Day arrives; and their party agents are nowhere in sight. That’s why they wanted “mandatory real time electronic transfer” in a country where SMS and banking transactions “hang” habitually…fishing for a recipe for chaos.
If they win, despite not deserving, it is “a victory for democracy”; not for them of course!
If they lose, it is rigged, it is vote buying, it is results falsification!!!
Then, they shift the battle to their collaborators in the media. They craft impossible stories and non-existent scenarios. They twist facts that intellectually honest minds can attest to!
We once had an opposition that painstakingly collected polling units results sheets and proved their victories in courts with forensic analysis, beyond any reasonable doubt.
The current opposition does not go to court to claim victory, rather, they go to court to seek disqualification of opponents and come to their collaborators in the media to claim victory.
They cannot manage their political parties to unite, strategically campaign, efficiently litigate, or win at the ballot or the courts.
The laziest and most incompetent opposition in history!
What defines a man with vision:
1. He recognizes when sacrifice is necessary and knows how to wait for the vision to unfold in due time.
2. He fosters support for others and builds a cohesive team.
Which of those challenging Tinubu today has such a record as this:
“I had obtained and filled the INEC form to go to the Senate, then I realised that I have a Governorship candidate, Mr Babatunde Fashola, and Obasanjo was the President, determined to win Lagos state.
I told myself, 'if I go ahead, I will strive to win my seat while leaving Fashola to his fate'.
Then one morning, I called Ganiyu Solomon and told him to follow me to Abuja, we landed, and off we went to the INEC office, withdrew my form, and handed him another form.
Ganiyu was shocked, he asked me for what sir, I said fill the form, he did and that was how I was able to concentrate in the Governorship election. Fashola won and Gani also won his seat.
We must make sacrifices......”
—President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
That is why people that matter are committed to his vision and stand on his mandate.
This is the Ilesha - Ife - Ibadan expressway, one of the projects being executed by the Minister of Works, H.E. David Nweze Umahi and a major entry point into Ekiti state.
One lane is currently undergoing concrete pavement construction, while the other lane is being used by commuters.
I took this pictures while heading back to Ekiti from Lagos state. Renewed hope is here!
@PastorMarvy, while we appreciate the scrutiny, accountability is the bedrock of public service. However, we must gently point out that governance happens on the ground, not just on the timeline. Judging a Commission’s efficiency solely by its X (Twitter) retweets is a bit like judging a book by its font size.
Regarding the observation about 'retweeting' Mr. President, that isn’t a lack of content, it is a statement of strategic alignment. The NWDC is a vehicle for the Renewed Hope Agenda, and our mandate is to execute the President’s vision for the North-West. If we don’t amplify the mission we were sent to accomplish, who will?
While the timeline might seem quiet to the casual observer, we have been deeply engaged in securing our foothold where it counts. For instance, we have secured a 7-storey building to serve as our temporary Head Office, rent-free for 4 years and fully renovated by the Deputy President of the Senate, 90% completion. We prioritized this to ensure the budget goes into actual development, not administrative overheads, ensuring a smooth take-off for the Commission.
Pastor, beyond the office walls, we are actively setting the stage for major interventions and exploring high-level partnerships, to mention a few;
• Agriculture: We have opened discussions with the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Authority (HJRBA) to access vast arable land for rice production. This ensures food security remains priority one, while we engage investors and partners for broader agricultural development.
• Healthcare: We are currently engaging with eHealth Africa, a renowed organization specializing in delivering healthcare services throughout Nigeria, to discuss a partnership aimed at taking healthcare local. Our goal is to upgrade all PHCs across the region to Tier 2 & 3 and to deploy telemedicine and mobile clinics to ensure medical outreach gets to the most underserved communities.
• Railway Revival: The commision is consulting with experts who have completed baseline data assessments on northern railway networks. We are reviewing options to revive the narrow gauge networks for a functional mass transit system, to transport goods and decongest our roads. The Commission will soon engage with the NRC.
• Technology: We are actively engaging NASENI to seek technology transfer and the domestication of agricultural mechanization tools. We aim to modernize our processes and build technology hubs across the region.
• Livestock Economy: NWDC is consulting with experts, investors and partnerships on many agribusiness initiatives, we are currently designing an Integrated Industrial Food Park (a modern abattoir system) to process meat, leather, and dairy. This will serve all Northern states from farmers to herders, we aim to turn a local practice into a global business.
• Community Infrastructure: The commission is designing a modern Ruga settlement model for remote communities. This will consist of schools, primary healthcare centres, ranches, community shops, farms, warehouses, and rural electrification to ease planting and harvesting.
More initiatives are on the way when the Commission fully takes-off. Development isn’t an instant choice but a gradual process driven by various influences.
It might also interest you to know that we are understudying models for a North-West Investment Company, similar to the Northern Nigeria Development Company (NNDC). We envision subsidiaries in Power, Transport, and 'Waste2Wealth' initiatives, creating a system where investors, not just the government, to drive the region’s growth.
Silence is often where the real work happens. We are quietly fixing the foundation so the structure can stand tall. Keep tabs on us Pastor and see real progress. It's all on our page; X, Facebook and Instagram.
@Naija_farmers The African Swine Fever affecting farms in Ogun and Lagos States is also a factor. Farmers are selling off pigs to minimise their losses.
