Please share this story until Ibrahim Mbaye gets justice:

He was beaten to death yesterday by students in an off campus apartment behind the City of David in Ring Road area of Jos. .

IB passed the night in his friends place in Ring Road and the friend accused him of stealing his iPhone 16 in the morning.

He said since they were the only two in the room, he's the only suspect.
They subjected this young model to brutal torture, humiliating, disgracing and dehumanising him.

They later locked him up in a room and asked a nurse to check up on him. The Nurse confirmed him dead and they attempted to take him to JUTH Emergency unit to make the case look like an emergency when the police was called and they were arrested.

The beastly treatment they subjected this boy to is better imagined. Share this until the right thing is done. May Almighty God continue to expose perpetrators of dastard acts like this. Amen/ Ameen

More than 300 Nigerian farmers have been killed or expelled from their farms by bandits. No outrage from Nigerians, no statement from the presidency.

[𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐦𝐚, 𝐏𝐡.𝐃. @Realoilsheikh]

No outcries. No mass reportage. No concerns whatsoever from the powers that be, because the lives wasted are from Zamfara.

Where are you @officialABAT @NuhuRibadu @Bellomatawalle1 @daudalawal_ @PoliceNG?

Everywhere is silent while bandits massacre 23 farmers in Sauna/Ruwan Gora community, Talata Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State. More than 50 people have been hospitalized, the majority of them women and children.
This attack happened in a village near the hometown of Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle. The Northwest is gradually becoming a graveyard, yet the suffering of its people continues to receive little attention.

The ignorance behind some takes from people who should know better is astonishing. Worse still is seeing others amplify them.

Emir Sanusi has been one of Nigeria's most vocal advocates for education, particularly girl child education. He has never endorsed Boko Haram, just as the vast majority of Northerners reject the group's ideology.

Painting him, or Northern elites generally, as Boko Haram sympathizers is lazy, unfair, and dangerous profiling.

We don't stereotype Southerners as cultists, drug dealers, baby factory CEOs, or 419 fraudsters. Let's extend the same fairness to everyone

We are writing with heavy hearts to cry out for help.

42 children from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School, Askira Uba LGA, Borno State were abducted on May 15, 2026. The children include toddlers as young as 2 years old.

Today marks 67 days and our children are still being held in the forests. We have not heard anything about their whereabouts or condition.

We have waited, we have prayed, and we have reported. But up to today, we have not seen concrete action from the Borno State Government under Governor Babagana Zulum to secure their release and bring them home safely.

Our children are in the forest. They are scared, hungry, and in danger. Every day that passes puts their lives at more risk.

We are pleading:

1. Governor Zulum: Please act now. Deploy all necessary resources for the immediate rescue of the 42 Mussa children.
2. Security agencies: We need a coordinated rescue operation urgently.
3. The public and media: Help us amplify this. Do not let our children be forgotten.

We are parents, we are a community, and we are desperate. We cannot do this alone.

Please, help us call on the authorities to act before it is too late. Our children deserve to come home.

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,  
Concerned Parents and Community Members of Mussa, Borno State, Nigeria.

This is how it should be. I love how this lady gave the idiots back. This reminds me of my experience earlier this year. Let me gist you.

Earlier this year, around January or February, there was a lot of tension in parts of the South-South. There seemed to be a wave of suspicion and negative stereotypes directed at Hausa-Fulani, particularly following reports of insecurity in some areas. Even though, most of the kidnappers arrested were locals.

One weekend, I went into a shopping mall to buy some personal care items. I was on a phone call with a friend, using my headphones. We were discussing something serious, but we were also laughing. Because I had my headphones on, I didn't realize my voice had become louder than usual.

I was dressed in traditional Northern attire, speaking Hausa on the phone, when a woman suddenly rushed toward me and asked, "Are we safe?"

At first, I assumed she was referring to my voice being loud. I even thought perhaps I had unintentionally disturbed people around me. But after thinking about it, I asked her calmly, "Madam, what exactly did you hear that made you ask if everyone is safe? Was it something I said, or was it simply the language I was speaking?". I had to be blunt.

She replied that it wasn't her concern but that the salesgirls had become alarmed. So she picked it from there. Since the salesgirls are there, I decided to ask them directly.

Their response was very different. They explained that they hadn't raised any alarm. They simply noticed that I had entered one aisle, looked around, and then turned into another section of the store because I hadn't found what I was looking for. According to them, the woman was the one who approached them asking what was happening. And they told her exactly the same.

At that point, I became convinced that I had been unfairly singled out. The Hidima in me triggered & I downloaded it all on her. Whether it was because I was speaking Hausa, because of my traditional attire, or because of assumptions she made about me, I cannot say with certainty. But I told her my mind.

I told her that I believed she was just being STUPID, & that she just created an unnecessary panic and that such behavior contributes to division in our country. I also made it clear that if the mall or its staff had discriminated against me because of my ethnicity or language, I would not hesitate to pursue the matter through the appropriate legal channels. I pointed out that the mall had CCTV cameras and that I would ensure the facts were properly established. I told her that the idiocy she expressed can be tolerated by others, but that I m not the regular Hausa man she can joke with. A fat ugly monster she was.

The salesgirls repeatedly clarified that they had done nothing wrong and had never suggested that I posed any threat. They insisted that the misunderstanding did not come from them.

By then, the manager of the mall had arrived. After listening to what had happened, he apologized for the unpleasant experience and tried to calm the situation.

I told the Manager that I might still take the case up; and they should be ready to present that CCTV footage in the court. The ugly monster was there looking like the fool she was.

Nobody should allow anyone treat them like a shit. Stand up against anyone that want to put a finger in your eye. Grab the finger and break it. Let all hell break loose.

That experience reminded me that discrimination is not always loud or obvious. Sometimes it appears in subtle assumptions that can make an innocent person feel unwelcome in their own country. We all have a responsibility to rise above those prejudices and treat one another with fairness, dignity, and respect.

"No gree for anybody o!"

"If I were a bandit, you wouldn't be standing here," she fired back.

A Hausa/Fulani woman stood up for her dignity after security operatives ordered everyone to come out for a search.

When one of the officers allegedly said, "That one is Yoruba, not Fulani. Don't search her," she perceived the remark as disrespectful and responded by defending both her dignity and that of her community.

Don't forget those in Borno

[Zagazola @ZagazOlaMakama]

Certainly, @Verydakman will come under attack for having the courage to say what many have refused to acknowledge about the crisis in North Central Nigeria, particularly in Plateau and Benue states.

The activist is right to point out that much of the violence revolves around the long-running farmers-herders conflict. Attacks on farmlands often trigger retaliatory attacks, just as the killing or rustling of livestock frequently leads to another cycle of reprisals. This pattern of revenge has fueled the violence for years.

The narrative that the conflict is solely driven by a grand agenda to establish an Islamic caliphate or seize land for Fulani people is also FALSE.

This claims have sometimes overshadowed the complex realities on the ground, including competition over land and resources, criminality, weak governance, and cycles of retaliation, while distracting citizens from demanding effective security and governance from their leaders.

There are hundreds of documented reports, investigations, and case records that examine the multiple drivers of the conflict. Any lasting solution must be based on evidence, accountability, justice for victims, and an honest assessment of the facts rather than narratives that deepen division.

Today makes it exactly 5 months since the 176 people kidnapped in Kwara were abducted. They were kidnapped on February 3, 2026.

These people are different from the 45 people kidnapped in Oyo state exactly 50 days ago.

Tinubu isn’t saying anything about them. He has failed.

From Fulani Bandits to Berom Militia: Zagazola Will Continue Naming Criminals, No Matter Who They Are

By Zagazola Makama

Yesterday, we published a report identifying the attacker killed during the attempted assault on the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, as a suspected Berom militia member. That simple act of calling the attacker by his known identity immediately made many people uncomfortable.

The reaction was predictable. For years, many have demanded that security reports identify Fulani attackers whenever communities are assaulted. We have consistently done so. When armed criminals of Fulani extraction carry out attacks, we do not hide behind vague descriptions such as “unknown gunmen.” “Armed attackers or assailants. We identify them as Fulani bandits or Fulani attackers where the facts support it. So why should the standard suddenly change because the attacker is Berom?

At Zagazola Makama, we made a deliberate decision while reporting the Plateau crisis that every attacker would be profiled according to established facts, including identity and area of operation. If an attack is carried out by Fulani criminals, we say so. If it is committed by Berom militia, we say so. If Erigwe are responsible, we report it. If Mangu militias are involved, we identify them accordingly. Criminality must never enjoy the protection of ethnicity, religion, or politics.

No community has a monopoly on victimhood, and no community is free from criminal elements. Pretending otherwise is one of the reasons the Plateau conflict has remained difficult to resolve.

The hypocrisy is striking. Many people are comfortable sharing our reports when Fulani criminals are exposed. They praise objective journalism and demand accountability. But the moment a criminal from their own ethnic group is identified, the complaints begin. Suddenly, facts become “divisive,” reporting becomes “biased,” and journalists are accused of profiling an entire community. It cannot work that way.
Justice cannot have two standards.

The individual neutralised during the attempted attack on NIPSS was not an anonymous figure. Within minutes of the operation, residents around Kuru and Trade Centre were already identifying him by his name (PETER) and pointing to his Berom background. That information was already circulating locally long before it appeared in our report.

Yet many of the loudest voices who routinely condemn violence suddenly went silent. There were no emotional statements. No passionate calls for justice. No public condemnation of the attack on security personnel. No acknowledgement of the professionalism displayed by troops who repelled yet another assault on a strategic national institution. Instead, the energy shifted to questioning why the attacker’s identity was mentioned.

That silence speaks volumes. The soldiers who defended NIPSS prevented another deadly attack. They recovered a service rifle stolen months earlier from a soldier killed by the Berom Militia. Those soldiers deserved commendation but Instead, some preferred to grumble in WhatsApp groups because the facts disrupted a convenient narrative. (Any youths caught with arms is a defender of his community) and he is innocent.

This is exactly why Nigeria’s security challenges persist. Too many people judge violence not by the crime committed but by who committed it.
A murderer does not become less of a murderer because he shares your language. A militia fighter does not become a freedom fighter because he belongs to your ethnic group. An armed attacker does not become a victim simply because exposing him makes your community uncomfortable.

At Zagazola Makama, our position remains unchanged. We will continue to expose Fulani bandits. We will continue to expose Berom militias, Erigwe or the Mangu militias. We will continue to expose every criminal organisation, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation.
