This 2010 BBC documentary on MC Oluomo and Oshodi takes you back in time and offers a glimpse into Koko Zaria’s unwavering loyalty to MC Oluomo. Mamok also speaks very well in the documentary. Sadly, he was shot dead by a rival gang on September 30, 2015.

It is truly by God’s grace that Koko Zaria is still alive today.

Following the death of Toba Ijaya, I sincerely hope Lagos stakeholders will come together to resolve any lingering disputes among these NURTW members. I have a bad feeling about the current tension, and I pray they choose peace, put aside their differences, and focus on making a living instead of losing more lives. Eko o ni baje oo

News that Baga and been recaptured.

And that slogan #NeverAgain was from the then Col Eyitayo.

And immediately they announced the president is coming, from my Gun forming all round defense I thought something is happening I had to scan everywhere again.

Then I ask, they said the president is coming.

I said to myself today? Either by crook or by hook I must see the president's face 😁

Immediately he was landing I called someone to man my gun and jumped down, and it wasn't real to me, like seeing the CinC in person?

Funny enough in few weeks he was in Maiduguri again this time I was shit and already in 7 Div hospital... Man came to pay us condolence visit.

The urge to continue fighting manned in confidence came in immediately. And low and behold they ask a BN to remain and we proceed with Abu-Ali to go and recapture Kangarwa and then Mallam-Fatori before coming back to Maiduguri for other operations.

And before leaving the COAS pronounced everybody d*and or alive who took part in that operation be giving one step ahead (Special Promotion)

Heaven was almost falling, God almost showed his true self in human form that day.

The Joy, the drama, the anguish and everything.

Rest in peace 🕊️ to those we lost during that operation. Some really painful lost right there mehn 💔

We have no other country than Nigeria

Nigeria shall succeed.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Men saw things and things saw men.

Damn ...

Bringing back so many bitter sweet memories.

This very Operation still remain the reason why Nigeria is still standing strong today when it comes to fighting Terrorists across Nigeria.

We never knew the extent at which the terrorists are so close to capturing Maiduguri at large, until we started that operation.

That was the first Operation with late Col Abu-Ali and I can tell you he was the reason for that successful season.

Majority of the troops morale has already been dampened and virtually everyone are not ready to fight anymore.

They believe people are sabotaging their efforts in frontline.

But the appointment of then Maj Gen Lamidi Adeosun brought some sigh of relief and fresh air across all locations.

The only viable location BHTs haven't captured them was only Konduga and Biu, even at that Konduga was on the verge. Because the volume of attacks in that location then was crazy.

That period the President postponed the Election by 6 weeks and ask the whole locations be recapturd back.

Most importantly Baga, because the news of BHTs capturing Baga went viral and it was their biggest of operation.

The task to go and recapture it back was one hell of a difficult task.

But unknown to us when you have a man capable of doing virtually everything in then Maj Abu-Ali, then everything is as good as done.

We saw a petit man with overall and those at the back could not even see his rank properly and thought it was a random person like CJTF 😁

But with General Adeosun Al's listening carefully, I was curious to know who's this.

He introduced himself and I was like ah a Major? This small? But the definition of small but mighty is truly him.

Immediately he said " Gentlemen I will lead from the front and everyone should follow me behind. I will do 95% of the job you people should do just 5% by clearing/capturing the one running for their lives.

Morale was high again, at that point I wanted running immediately to go and man my Gun. But last address from the GOC again.

I immediately knew this Operation will be successful in my head I was already planning.

Because the amount of ammunition they brought for us, I have never seen it in my life. We can fight for good 3 months without requesting for more, but unfortunately the number of obstacles we met on our way those ammunitions finished in 2 weeks.

These terrorists already manned very close to Maiduguri, like imagine fighting from Tungushe until we entered Monguno, it was that close.

Fee KM to Monguno these people ambushed with various tanks and the volume of fire can confuse your enemies to pray for you, it was so deadly.

We saw some crazy things after capturing Monguno, imagine they turned the QG to their own colour and inside the hospital they have their patients there receiving treatment.

They never thought anybody will breakthrough and enter that Monguno, to tell you how prepared they are.

Then the toughest of task came, proceeding to recapture Baga.

Moving from Monguno. Yoyo. Mile90. Kekeno and getting close Kuros, that was when the biggest of shock hit us, firing from all angles and at a point the tank seized and from my Gun I couldn't hear any of his explosion.

What's happening? That was I respected them Col Eyitayo. Man stood his ground calling for calm, we never knew Maj Abu-Ali has fainted inside the tank, after almost 20 minutes we heard his shot again. See the joy and morale again in everyone's face.

We enter Baga and that was where they nicknamed him and that T72 tank Dodo.

Because they were ruthless and resilient there, and the ambush was crazy, Abu-Ali will just zoomed from his tank and release, the bomb will melt and destroyed everything there.

Immediately we captured Baga, it was like a task almost impossible to achieve.

The then COAS Lt Gen KTJ Minimah and CDS Alex Badeh came within few minutes, like they were all waiting just to hear the good /1

The establishment of the Muhammadu Buhari Centre, a landmark institution, is one of the major initiatives currently in the pipeline. It will be managed and overseen by the Muhammadu Buhari Foundation. It is not going to be just a memorial place, the Centre is envisioned as a world-class destination dedicated to preserving the life, values and legacy of our boss, the late President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.

It will serve as a hub for historical documentation, research, leadership development, exhibitions and legacy preservation, while also providing modern facilities for events, learning and recreation.

The Buhari Centre will be one of Abuja’s must-visit destinations. In this place, history will be preserved, ideas are going to be nurtured, while future generations can draw inspiration from the enduring legacy of Nigeria’s most consequential leader.

[Tolu Ogunlesi @toluogunlesi]

On this day, July 13, last year, @MBuhari left us. May his soul continue to rest in peace. Amen.

Hated by FEW!

Respected by ALL!!! Muhammadu Buhari - One in a GENERATION 😍😍😍

[Safar 1448 عمر @adsadiq_danladi]

“ Muhammadu Buhari will continue to be debated by historians, economists, and political scientists. His successes will be weighed against his shortcomings, and his policies scrutinised for generations to come. That is the proper work of history and historians will come from diverse camps, some will be fair, many will deliberately ignore context.”

Thanks Ma for your dedication and patriotism. People like you have continued to reassure me that all hope isn’t lost on the Nigeria project despite all the challenges

As Buharists remember our Icon today on the anniversary of his death, I had to re-subscribe to Twitter in order to be able to post my tribute to Bubu, because I want it to be seen by many and know that many won't go to my website (https://t.co/oeBtGVc5sN) or my Substack to read it.🙁. I have completed my self-imposed one year of mourning. May the memory of Bubu remain blessed.

[Bashir Ahmad, OON @BashirAhmaad]

The late Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa, held our late boss, President Buhari, in the highest regard. Their relationship was built on genuine respect, affection and brotherhood. He visited Baba Buhari in Nigeria and about four times in London during his medical stay. Remarkably, three of those visits to London were solely to check on him and pray for his recovery,

May Allah (SWT) forgive their shortcomings, envelop them both in His infinite mercy and grant them the highest ranks in Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen.

Notice how Messi instructed the player to pass to Lauturo instead for the buildup to the 3rd goal.

“Don’t pass to me, give Lautaro”.

Strong from Wayne Rooney on the BBC on the Balogun affair:

“I got a three game ban before Euro 2012 so I was due to miss the three group games and basically got told if I go over to Switzerland and do a training session with a bunch of kids the third game gets taken off. Which I didn't agree with but I agreed to do it because I didn't want the three game ban but I thought that was wrong. But for this to be suspended? They either take the red card away, which I think was probably the right decision and then he can play. But to suspend it for a year I think is an absolute disgrace and Infantio should be ashamed of this because I think for the sportsmanship of this game is in question here. If I'm the USA's opponent I'd be absolutely fuming. I think it's wrong in every way. I think it's an absolute disgrace."
