[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

It is deeply disturbing and wildly hypocritical that U.S. politician Riley Moore is quietly working behind the scenes with Washington to pressure, bully, and strong-arm Nigeria into creating a state policing system.
Thanks to this relentless diplomatic campaign, endless foreign lobbying, and indirect threats of secondary economic sanctions, the spineless union of comprador elites at the Nigerian House of Representatives has unilaterally voted for the approval of this dangerous Bill.

This means state policing will soon be codified into the Nigerian constitution and officially signed into law.
What is even more terrifying and deeply depressing is that a sweeping majority of ordinary Nigerians are actually sitting idly by, clapping enthusiastically, and cheering passionately for this legislative Trojan horse to be passed and codified into law. This tragic ignorance is somewhat understandable since our hopelessly compromised media outlets, corrupt television pundits, and American grant-chasing activists have been heavily whitewashing, glorifying, and aggressively sanitizing this Bill.
All of a sudden, the manufactured narrative is that state policing will miraculously solve the insecurity crisis, magically end the rampant kidnappings, and immediately stop the bloodshed. The lie being sold is that it will allow the state governors of the federation to properly coordinate their local forces, deploy tactical teams, and respond swiftly to terror attacks, rural banditry, and highway kidnappings without the usual suffocating bureaucratic hurdles.

First of all, this is a blatant lie cooked straight up in the deepest pits of hell purely to appeal to the raw, bleeding emotions of ordinary Nigerians who are already exhausted victims of this daily insecurity. To clearly see why this is a massive deception, please permit me to enlighten you that the chronic insecurity in Nigeria is absolutely not happening because the state is simply unable to properly control its policing units, direct its tactical squads, or manage its intelligence networks. Insecurity in Nigeria happens strictly due to a severe, intentional, and catastrophic governance vacuum.

In many parts of Nigeria, there is a sharp, heartbreaking contrast in the standard of living between the political elites living in the fortified cities and the neglected masses living deep inside the rural, agrarian communities. The state capital and a tiny handful of commercially successful towns are the only places where all the functional government institutions actually exist. This neatly includes the lucrative revenue collection offices, the sprawling supreme courts, the heavily fortified police headquarters, the massive military barracks, the well-paved road networks, the exclusive government hospitals, and the elite private schools. Meanwhile, in the distant rural communities, these critical state institutions are practically and deliberately absent. The only visible signs of government are a handful of decaying health centers, roofless community schools, abandoned water projects, and ghost clinics, all of which are violently underfunded, hopelessly neglected, and operating far below basic human capacity.

This massive vacuum is exactly where opportunistic foreign NGOs, radical Islamic clerics, and wealthy Christian missionaries swoop in to completely fill the void. In Northern Nigeria, which is the birthplace of Boko Haram and where over 90% of the terrorism in Nigeria violently takes place, there are reported to be more than 20 million supposedly out-of-school children. But these children are not technically out of school. They are actively being educated informally in isolated Islamic temples teaching strict Wahhabi-Salafi Islam, which is a highly distorted, weaponized version of the religion that brainwashes the pupil to violently hate the secular state, despise democracy, and view any modern scientific progress, secular education, or constitutional law as a direct threat that justifies establishing an Islamic caliphate. It is crucially important to know that this aggressive Wahhabi interpretation is not the original, peaceful version of Islam practiced globally. It was systematically cooked up, heavily funded, and aggressively exported by Saudi Arabia directly following an explicit request by the American government during the Cold War era. Most of the fierce Mujahideen that fought brutal guerrilla warfare against the Soviets in Afghanistan, as well as several top ISIS commanders, Al-Qaeda operatives, and regional warlords, were proudly produced straight from these exact ideological schools. It must also be loudly mentioned that Saudi Arabia has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Nigeria just to establish these Wahhabi schools, radicalize the youth, and build sprawling mosques. Even the very first founder of Boko Haram, Muhammad Yusuf, was thoroughly educated by these foreign-backed Wahhabi scholars, and he even eventually traveled to Saudi Arabia to further his radical studies, secure dark funding, and build lethal connections before returning to Nigeria to set up his terrifying Boko Haram terror networks. Not only are these foreign religious institutions brainwashing Nigerians in the North, but they also effectively provide all the basic social services that the actual government (which is too busy looting in the cities) is completely unable to provide. These desperate services include daily feeding, basic healthcare, conflict resolution, rudimentary shelter, clothing, and financial handouts. And this dangerous phenomenon is absolutely not exclusive to Northern Nigeria alone. Similar foreign-funded religious centers, evangelical cults, and shadowy NGOs exist heavily even in the South, but they all have their different setups, distinct financial architectures, and operational doctrines that heavily depend on the specific foreign interests exploiting that region.

So effectively, the rural communities across Nigeria function as an entirely separate state within a state. This makes it structurally impossible for federal intelligence agencies to gather reliable, actionable information because the deadly rebels, bandits, and terrorists are usually recruited directly from the impoverished villagers, thanks to years of intense religious brainwashing, economic desperation, and systemic neglect. The innocent villagers cannot even help the state because, even if they clearly see heavily armed terrorists regrouping, stockpiling weapons, and setting up massive mobile camps right inside their farmlands, they have absolutely no modern way of quickly passing these critical tips to law enforcement. Furthermore, the poorly armed local vigilantes are always tragically overwhelmed, outgunned, and stretched incredibly thin, busy battling petty thieves, settling mundane local disputes, or fighting off heavily armed cattle rustlers, so there is very little they can actually do.

So it is painfully clear that these ruthless rebels are able to effortlessly coordinate devastating attacks in Nigeria because their hardened fighters are recruited directly from the local villages, they understand the harsh geographic terrain far better than the suit-wearing security chiefs in Abuja, and the Nigerian state is completely, embarrassingly lacking in basic Human Intelligence (HUMINT) because they are effectively, arrogantly disconnected from the very people they claim to govern.

So that begs the screaming, million-dollar question: How exactly is this highly celebrated state policing bill supposed to magically address any of this? There is basically zero structural provision for this underlying social rot, and if anything, things will only get spectacularly worse.
This is not idle hearsay, wild speculation, or political conspiracy. It is basically written right there in the fine print of the new bill currently being aggressively pushed, heavily funded, and enthusiastically supported even by Washington to be codified into law. The new Bill explicitly dictates a messy, convoluted structure where the states shall only inherit 60% of the operational police officers in the region, while the remaining 40% percent stubbornly belongs to the federal government. This ridiculous mathematics means that under this new experimental system, the state governor, who is supposedly getting his own independent, highly effective police unit, will immediately be forced to operate at a massive, crippling disadvantage. Because if 100 percent of the entire centralized policing unit in a state cannot currently fix the insecurity, stop the kidnappings, or defeat the bandits, how in the absolute hell is a fractured, poorly funded 60 percent supposed to pull off that miracle?

To make things infinitely worse, if you actually sit down and study the legislative text closely, things get even more terrifying. For example, the underlying operational framework dictates that the existing police command and control centers, the massive training academies, the sprawling barracks, the heavily fortified armories, the forensic laboratories, and the central communication hubs in the state all remain exclusive federal government property. This guarantees that once a so-called state police unit is established, the governors would then have to magically conjure up tens of billions of Naira. Not only would they have to spend aggressively on mass recruitment just to fill the massive 40 percent personnel gap absorbed back by the federal government, but they would now also have to practically build a new police force from absolute scratch. They would have to construct brand new barracks, buy thousands of armored patrol vehicles, procure heavy tactical assault weapons, purchase expensive riot gear, build local detention centers, and acquire modern communication radios just to be able to physically police their own state. This means that many bankrupt states would have to painfully wait for decades before they can even improve their basic security infrastructure. State governments will obviously, ruthlessly prioritize funding this bloated security apparatus over building new public schools, repairing collapsed bridges, or properly funding dying healthcare centers. As for the many heavily indebted states in the North that are already engulfed in violent flames thanks to the relentless Boko Haram insurgencies, raising this kind of capital is mathematically impossible. They will simply collapse completely into total anarchy, warlordism, and chaos because there is absolutely not sufficient internally generated revenue from these states to ever justify, fund, or sustain such massive, white-elephant policing projects.

Now this begs another screaming, million-dollar question: What is the actual, hidden purpose of this new state policing law if not for pure, unadulterated political madness? This disjointed system will obviously, violently disrupt Nigeria's already fragile efforts to handle national security. The astronomical money that each impoverished state is expected to blindly cough up just to set up individual barracks, buy armored personnel carriers, establish forward operating bases, and procure basic tactical gear will run into the billions of dollars. And this massive financial bleeding is only just to get the symbolic, highly politicized police force somewhat operational, not even to actually fight the violent crime it was supposedly designed to defeat. The staggering capital required for this vanity project is comfortably enough to purchase dozens of highly advanced MQ-9 Reaper drones. These military-grade aerial beasts have the terrifying ability to stay airborne for up to 27 continuous hours, and a single drone can effortlessly patrol the entire dense forests of any individual state in Nigeria in less than one hour. If each state simply had about four of these unmanned beasts, they would have more than enough technological equipment to permanently crush crime in their regions. These drones come heavily equipped with state-of-the-art Multi-Spectral Targeting Systems, high-resolution infrared thermal cameras that can easily see human body heat through thick forest canopies, Synthetic Aperture Radar for all-weather tracking, laser designators for precision strikes, and deadly Hellfire missiles to vaporize terrorist camps. The billions about to be senselessly wasted on building useless concrete barracks, sewing colorful new uniforms, and purchasing outdated assault rifles for this new parallel policing unit would be put to infinitely better use if channeled into mounting solar-powered, high-definition CCTV cameras that span the entire road networks of the federation, thereby finally giving law enforcement enough hard data, facial recognition tracking, and real-time intelligence to actually fight crime. Right now in Nigeria, all we ever hear is that innocent people are getting kidnapped on the expressways, and that is tragically it. There are absolutely no CCTV footages capturing the exact license plate numbers of the operational vehicles doing the kidnapping, no aerial surveillance tracking the escape routes, no thermal imaging pinpointing the forest hideouts, no encrypted digital communication among patrol units, and no automated biometric databases. As a result, our brave but poorly equipped law enforcement officers are forced to operate completely in the blind, analog darkness.

This is precisely why every single Nigerian needs to immediately forget about the distracting World Cup tournament, get off social media banter, and urgently download this new, highly toxic Bill that is about to be quietly smuggled, stamped, and codified into the constitution. This new piece of legislation needs to be aggressively studied, dissected, and exposed because it has the absolute, terrifying potential to completely collapse our entire existing security infrastructure within the next five short years. This is exactly what our highly paid TV pundits, morning show hosts, and public intellectuals need to be aggressively talking about. Not the trivial football banter, not the celebrity gossip, and definitely not the South African immigration crisis. Our innocent women and defenseless children are currently sleeping in terrifying, bandit-infested forests, being held for multi-million Naira ransoms, and this brutal reality should obviously anger us, deeply bother us, and violently push us to fight for a genuine, structural change. Instead, everyone seems to be getting dangerously comfortable, disturbingly docile, and completely brainwashed by this state-sponsored propaganda aggressively claiming that creating 36 heavily armed, underfunded, and politically loyal state militias will somehow magically reduce insecurity when codified into law.

This is far beyond ridiculous. It will only maliciously deflect desperately needed funding away from the most critical, life-saving institutions in a state just to set up bloated barracks, buy expensive parade uniforms, and build lavish offices to house what will inevitably become glorified, armed government thugs. This is absolutely not a baseless rumor, a cynical theory, or an unfounded fear. Nigeria has heavily practiced state policing before, specifically during the pre-1966 era known as the chaotic First Republic, where regional governments commanded the notorious Native Authority Police. The security situation of the country back then was so violently bad, so fiercely tribal, and so politically compromised that it could easily be compared to the bloody warlordism era in China, where different parts of the country were brutally governed by different, heavily armed warlords. When this decentralized state policing was actively being practiced in Nigeria, the powerful regional premiers and governor did not use the men in uniform to fight actual crimes, protect the vulnerable, or secure the borders. Instead, these armed units were viciously deployed to aggressively rig regional elections on behalf of the ruling party, they were used to violently harass opposition candidates, they were dispatched to publicly humiliate, depose, and banish local traditional chiefs who were not completely loyal to the governor, they were weaponized to brutally crush peaceful tax protests, they were sent to extort market women, and they were transformed into ruthless, tribal hit squads.

These are absolutely not empty rumors or historical exaggerations. You can easily find these facts documented in any credible history book, academic journal, or archival record detailing Nigeria's political violence during the First Republic. This state-sanctioned madness, regional tyranny, and police brutality continued unchecked until the military intervened and the civilian government was violently removed from power. It was shortly after this total collapse of law and order that the military government, under General Yakubu Gowon, set up a specialized panel to deeply investigate the catastrophic state policing doctrine in Nigeria. Following the panel's stark, undeniable recommendations, the entire bloody sham of state, regional, and Native Authority policing was permanently dismantled, fully centralized into the Nigeria Police Force, and completely abolished in all its entirety. And that was supposed to be the absolute end of that monumental, deadly stupidity.

I am absolutely not a genius for pointing this out. All of this basic historical information spilled out here is public knowledge. U.S. politicians like Riley Moore and the foreign lobbyists pushing this agenda have all the intimate details, the historical data, and the risk assessments. Our utterly shameless, cash-and-carry media houses, who are subliminally brainwashing the public into believing that state policing is somehow going to magically empower state governors to tackle insecurity, fully know, see, and understand every single thing I am saying. They are deliberately ignoring the truth and merely reading the highly sanitized, deceptive scripts handed directly to them by their wealthy political paymasters, foreign grant-makers, and corporate sponsors, all just to comfortably convince exhausted Nigerians to blindly accept this suicidal Bill. When this legislative poison is finally codified into law, and Nigeria inevitably splinters, fractures, and gets violently reduced to a chaotic, warring wasteland like Libya, Somalia, or Sudan (which is absolutely not impossible), these exact foreign cartels, multinational mining syndicates, and global power brokers pushing so hard for this Bill will finally have all the chaotic time, the ungoverned space, and the perfect distraction in the world to violently, ruthlessly milk the trillion-dollar solid minerals buried deep in the Middle Belt region, the vast gold reserves in Zamfara, the lithium deposits in Nasarawa, and the endless, fertile lands of Northern Nigeria.

Every single Nigerian needs to urgently wake up, join hands together right now, and unilaterally, aggressively, and violently condemn, expose, and reject this utterly demonic, sovereignty-destroying bill before it is too late.

Troops Repel ISWAP Attack in Yobe

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of the Nigerian Army have repelled an attack by suspected ISWAP terrorists along the Geidam–Maine Soro road in Geidam Local Government Area of Yobe State.

Security sources told Zagazola that the incident occurred at about 2:04 a.m. on Thursday while troops of the 159 Task Force Battalion were conducting a night standby patrol along the route.

According to the sources, the terrorists launched an attack on the patrol team, prompting a fierce exchange of gunfire.

The troops reportedly held their ground and engaged the attackers until reinforcement troops arrived at the scene.

The arrival of reinforcements forced the terrorists to retreat in disarray and abandon the attack.

The sources said one soldier sustained injuries during the encounter and was immediately evacuated for medical treatment.

The wounded soldier is currently receiving treatment at the battalion’s Regimental Aid Post (RAP) and is awaiting further medical management.

The sources added that one PKT machine gun and a Baofeng handheld radio were taken away during the attack.

Security forces have intensified efforts in the area to track the fleeing terrorists and recover the missing military equipment.

DSS Arrests Notorious Arms Courier, Recovers 3 AK-47 Rifles, 4 RPG Tubes, Others in Kano

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday arrested a suspected arms courier, at Gezawa Local Government Area of Kano State, intercepting a consignment of weapons believed to be destined for a bandit kingpin operating in Zamfara State.

Security sources say the arrest of
the courier known as Abubakar Muhammad, followed actionable intelligence which indicated that he was in transit to deliver three AK-47 rifles, four RPG tubes, and two empty magazines to one Saidu Marafa, a notorious bandit kingpin actively operating in Zamfara State.

"The operation was the direct result of intelligence generated by the Service, which tracked the courier's movement and mobilised operatives to intercept him before the weapons could leave Kano State".

"This latest arrest is one in a series of successful operations by the Service, further demonstrating its ability to infiltrate criminal networks, cut off arms supply routes, and weaken the structures that sustain banditry and armed violence across the country," noted the source., adding, "forensic evaluation is ongoing for possible prosecution.'

I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.

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.
