I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit....
President Trump's statement over the weekend declaring that the United States has "largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations" in Nigeria is alarming. It is dangerous. And it is patently false.
The strikes were real. Credit where it's due — no president before Trump hit Nigeria's jihadists at all. The Christmas Day strike on Sokoto and the May 16 strike that killed the world's number-two ISIS commander were real blows.
But the group doing most of the genocidal killing was never touched.
The Fulani militias — the armed networks that have burned more than 20,000 churches, slaughtered families in the night, and driven twelve million people from their ancestral land — have not been struck. They are forces operating under the protection of the Caliphate structure, loyal to the same ruling elite that has been running this jihad since 1804. They are fully intact, still in the field. And by every visible measure, the situation has not improved — it has gotten worse.
Not just the killing. The government deception. The incompetence, corruption and complicity. The government that denies the existence of millions of displaced people. The Islamic supremacist now rewriting the national school curriculum for fifty million children in what he calls “intellectual jihad.” The Fulani militia commanders who have never faced a courtroom, a drone, or a consequence of any kind.
Now look at the timing.
A ginned-up diaspora "gala" in Washington last week -- days before Trump's disturbing pivot -- became a de-facto Tinubu campaign rally. His people worked the room, the “cooperation” between the US and Nigerian governments was celebrated. Contrary voices were silenced. People wined and dined and gave each other awards to celebrate who-knows-what in the middle of an ongoing genocide. Tinubu's own spokesman was hailed as an “honored guest” and closed the evening at the microphone with an extended infomercial for the corrupt administration.
Days later, President Trump announced the genocide is largely over.
That is not a coincidence. That is a play.
Tinubu just learned he faces no backlash for backing off. Trump learned that the self-appointed voice of the diaspora celebrates his partnership with Tinubu and their “accomplishments.” That is a green light — the movement strategically silenced at the exact time to ensure Washington filed Nigeria under “problem solved.”
It worked. And if it sticks, the results will be catastrophic.
I believe there is still hope to bring this back into the spotlight, to compel Trump to act, but there’s not much time.
Look at what moved Trump the first time: In September, Bill Maher raised the issue of the Nigerian Christian Genocide on national television. Ted Cruz loudly made it a Senate matter. And then days later Trump threatened Country of Particular Concern designation.
Next, my October 14 press conference in Abuja generated billions of impressions and triggered an emergency Senate session. The resulting outcry moved the needle. Days later, Trump promised to come “guns-a-blazin.”
Now the voices have gone soft, become complicit, absorbed into DCI’s swamp -- and immediately Trump talks as if he’s turning away.
These are not coincidences. It’s loud public outcry that forced the issue and compelled action.
We need that outcry again right now, louder than ever.
If President Trump has "accomplished" his mission in Nigeria, then his mission was never about stopping the genocide or saving Christians.
We know better. He can do better. But only if we get loud enough that he has to. Right now.

#Lifusprudence is not a science. In many ways, it is everything that judicial decision making should not be. It is transparently predictable, purchasable, & pre-determined.
Lifusprudence is the dark art of taking the prudence out of the science of law. It is underpinned by casual wilfulness under colour of judicial pronouncement.
That is what makes it so dangerous because although it reads as law, Lifusprudence is actually network crime.

When a court in Lokoja #Nigeria can unmake a party overnight, the question is no longer who #Nigerians will vote for in 2027, but whether they will be allowed to vote for anyone at all.
There is a word for what is happening to Nigeria’s democracy, and @ChidiOdinkalu has already given it to us in his 2025 book, #TheSelectorate: When Judges Topple the People.

At the beginning of this month, @OfficialDSSNG decided to bring a most unusual charge under the Cybercrimes Act against the former Chairman of @NigBarAssoc in Shendam in the Southern Senatorial District of Plateau State.
I can now confirm that these charges constitute an egregious abuse of power by the family of the President of the Court of Appeal, #PCA Monica Dongban Mensem. I do not say this lightly but it has to be said.
Nkup Gabriel Tsenyen, the former branch Chairman of the NBA against whom the charges are preferred, is from the Ngotugu'ut community. That is also the village of the PCA.
In 2025, Mr. Tsenyen filed a case at the High Court of Plateau State in Shendam against 4 defendants in respect of a dispute over land. The third named defendant in the case, Mr. Miskoom Niemu'ut Mensem, is the blood brother of the PCA.
The charges being preferred by @OfficialDSSNG in Abuja against Mr. Tsenyen arise in connection with this land dispute that is already in court. This is not a matter connected with the protection of internal security, which is the primary responsibility of @OfficialDSSNG. This is a weaponisation of the Service for private purposes. It is #AbuseOfPower.
The Director-General of @OfficialDSSNG has a responsibility to step in & bring this abuse to an end fortwith. Let the High Court of Plateau State do its work of adjudicating the land dispute in peace.
Peter Lifu represents a new & deleterious genre in judicial decision making in #Nigeria. He is infinitely more wilful & more dangerous than a rascal. He is an unquestioned leader among an emerging gang in the role of the #JudicialHitman.

Here are facts about 2nd Niger Bridge.
1. The Bridge was not solely Constructed by the federal government. It’s a PPP Project which the federal contributes a fraction.
2. The 2nd Niger Bridge was to Cost about N160 billion but was reviewed by the Buhari administration and increased to 400billion.
400billion for a 1.6km bridge?
3. Started in 2012, project was launched in 2014 and should have been completed in 2017, but worked stopped for 31 months by buhari administration in 2015, & completion date was moved to 2019 but still wasn't completed until covid happened in 2020, so completion was moved to 2022.
4. Federal government share of the Cost is 20%. Jonathan through the Sure-P paid N21.2billion including N7billion for the completion of preparatory work (Phase 1).
5. 38% of the work was done as at Jan 2015, 1year after the launch.
6 Buhari’s Govt Paid N2billion when he came to power and paid another N3.05Billion when 2018 budget was approved.
7 Work under Buhari began in 2017 at the site and about 12% was completed before covid bringing the total completed work to about 50%
8. Jonathan Govt have paid 71% of federal government share of the cost, While Buhari’s govt is to pay 29%.
9. Anambra and Delta state government paid a fraction of 20% for the project.
10. Julius Berger, the Major Contractor and Construction company will put Toll Gate on Completion of the Bridge to cover their cost.
11. The Construction Company is Funding 60% of the Project and the People using the Bridge will bear the cost via Toll Charges.
This is what I mean when I say these guys have successfully distorted facts to suit their narrative. If they are doing this in this digital age, image what they did when Bayo Ononuga and rest were in charge of PM express and co.
CUSTOMERS ARE NOT TO PAY ELECTRICITY BILLS THAT ARE ABOVE 1 YEAR.
The Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission has said electricity supply licensees cannot recover charges that are more than 12 months old.
Consumers should not be made to pay charges older than 12 months except in cases involving meter tampering, illegal use of electricity, or obstruction of meter reading.
“Electricity supply licensees cannot recover charges older than 12 months, except in cases of meter tampering, illegal use, and obstruction of meter reading,” LASERC said.
Consumers are to be aware of their rights and protections under the electricity regulatory framework. “Stay informed, stay protected,” the commission stated.
LASERC took over electricity regulation in the state from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Electricity Act 2023.
The commission has said it would not allow electricity subsidies in the state, insisting that operators must recover their costs.
