@DHQNigeria Response time is an important factor that could save lives when responding to terrorists attacks. With the identification of potential hotspots and intelligent gathering, what is the Military doing to improve their overall response time?
So basically ₦2.1 Trillion kept within the Nigerian economy...with zero positive effect on households and the everyday Nigerian.
Whenever you hear the Tinubu administration quote positive economic numbers, it's largely due to the positive effect the Dangote refinery has on the Nigerian economy.
Despite this and the removal of subsidy, the Tinubu administration continues to borrow recklessly...while 62% of Nigerians live below the poverty line.
Precedence must be guided by logic.
The party's manifesto which is currently non-existent, is the official document that'll showcase the core values Osa Director is speaking about.
In scaling up it's operations and reinforcing its ideological identity, the party must be careful not to place the bull before the horn.
Here's my response to the last resolution shared by the NDC.

I have noted with grave concern the escalating wave of insecurity that has engulfed our beloved nation. Once again, Nigeria is bleeding profusely. From Zamfara, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, and Kwara to Oyo and several other parts of the country, our citizens can no longer sleep with both eyes closed.
Banditry, kidnapping for ransom, terrorism, communal clashes, and armed robbery have tragically become daily occurrences. What is most alarming is the audacity of these criminals, who now brazenly hold live sessions on social media to taunt the authorities and terrorise the public.
This is totally unacceptable and not befitting of a sovereign nation like ours.
As someone who has served this country at various levels, including as Governor of Kano State and Minister of Defence, where we confronted and significantly reduced security challenges through decisive leadership and community engagement, I remain convinced that insecurity is not insurmountable. What we lack today is not resources, but the requisite political will and sincerity to confront this menace head-on.
The current approach has clearly failed. Despite massive budgetary allocations to the security sector, the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly. Innocent lives are being lost daily, families are displaced in their thousands, and our economy is suffocating under the heavy weight of fear and instability.
We cannot continue on this dangerous path. Nigeria’s security architecture requires an urgent and comprehensive overhaul.
Additionally, to safeguard our socioeconomic wellbeing, the government must prioritise the provision of quality education, modern infrastructure, accessible healthcare, reliable electricity supply, and essential agricultural inputs. This approach will strengthen local food production and reduce over-reliance on imports for food security.
We must immediately prioritise the welfare and motivation of our gallant security personnel, strengthen intelligence gathering, enhance community policing, and, most crucially, tackle the root causes of this crisis; poverty, mass unemployment, and poor governance through massive investment in quality education, skills acquisition, and job creation for our teeming youth. - RMK
The goodness of even a few people can overcome the fear of many. We must be like an open Bible for everyone. May others encounter the Word of God in our faces and lives. Love is the language that makes everyone feel at home. #ApostolicJourney
A little girl in Boston went home one day and asked her Nigerian mother if she could change her name to Zoe.
Nobody at school could say Uzoamaka.
Her mother was cooking. She didn't even turn around.
"If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky, Michelangelo, and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka."
That girl kept her name.
Then she went to Hollywood and won three Emmy Awards.
And now the whole world knows exactly how to say Uzoamaka Aduba.
Your name is not a burden. It's a prophecy.
Xenophobic Attacks: Nigeria Not Happy With South Africa - Foreign Minister
“Nigeria is not happy because Nigeria has sacrificed much for the South African struggle for independence. Nigeria sacrificed quite a lot, committed funds, committed resources to aid South Africa.
“In schools, seats were reserved for South African students. My own generation, we carried placards. We demonstrated in front of South African assets,” Odumegwu-Ojukwu said while speaking with journalists.
Sentiments don't often manifest in the absence of a reliable alternative. @elonmusk
When resentment overshadows platitudes or commendations, then you're in luck because that frequency mimics an early warning system.
So don't rely too much on this comparative data. if I were you I'd pay extra attention to the non-intrinsic data and the emotional patterns piling up from the feedback you receive on a daily basis.
After carefully reading the second resolution by NDC's NEC, here are some of my observations that may require addressing.
1) Since members are expected to align personal interests and agendas with that of the party, the party as a matter of importance should produce its manifesto.
This will enable members or potential members, to assess if the party is the right platform to help drive their vision.
Secondly, the rigidity in the party's insistence on consultation with the party structure, by elected governments or officials before policies and programmes are rolled out, may lead to future conflicts.
Policies and Programmes adopted by, and implemented by elected governments and officials, will mostly be engineered with the purpose of solving issues faced by the governed electorate.
As such, consultation with the governed electorate and the governing team(e.g the Executive Council) will often supersede that of the party structure in many cases. So I believe the language used to describe this resolution must be revisited to reflect the current realities of governance.
I could understand where an elected government or an elected official has an agreement with the party regarding the quota of appointees that will be conceded to party loyalists. However to govern efficiently, elected party officials must be allowed to lead and govern in a way that primarily benefits Nigerians and Nigeria. In other words, the country is supreme.
2) The party must avoid any attempt to be overzealous in its approach to consolidate external groups that share in its mission to rescue Nigeria. As an infant political party, checks and balances are crucial and these externally affiliated groups will provide that.
Heard of the Maga movement ? In as much as it is aligned with the republican party, it does have a mind of its own.
3) Nothing to say on the 3rd resolution however, it would be advisable to take into consideration the points I've made in observation 1 and 2 above with respect to this resolution.
4) The 4th resolution is crucial and must be approached with honesty.
5) The 5th resolution cannot be taken for granted. Transparency and accountability in the utilisation of party funds must be enforced fiercely, so as to reflect the very standards in which Nigerians expect to be governed.
National interest should also supersede party interest at all times. This is in reference to the third paragraph in resolution 5.

A must watch. Datti-Baba Ahmed is such an intelligent analyst and political think tank.
Surely @PeterObi , @iamHSDickson must know that this Man is a beehive of strategic thinking
I allowed my imaginations to travel alongside that 94 second clip.
@elonmusk What you've built, and continue to build alongside your team is beyond remarkable.
While you work on the exciting prospect of expanding the scope of consciousness beyond our planet, what do you think about a project that reawakens a dormant civilisation here on earth, adding more life and essence to our planet?
