Aware of the Crisis that is about to continue. the present government is aware but won't do anything about it. so we definitely need a change of Government, one that is sympathetic and is ready to do something about it. Christians needs to start get involved and get ready. Pray and Vote. Intercession is needed to avert what is ongoing in the country. 2 chronicles 7:14 - [14] if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. We need people to interceed and we also need people in government. Not to turn it into a Christian country but to make it safe enough that both can leave and thrive as extremism is about to plunge the country into the dark ages. Afghanistan is the most complete example, the Taliban used exactly this dual track over 20 years and now govern the country. Iran in 1979 saw revolutionary clerics ride a popular uprising to install a theocratic state that has never been reversed. Sudan under Omar al-Bashir from 1989 imposed Sharia nationally through a military-Islamist alliance, devastating the south until it eventually seceded after decades of war. Somalia has never fully recovered from the collapse that allowed Al-Shabaab to control significant territory and enforce Sharia in areas the government cannot reach. Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger — Nigeria's immediate neighbours — have all seen jihadist groups carve out Sharia-governed territories in their ungoverned rural spaces within the last decade, which is precisely the pipeline feeding into Nigeria's northwest border today. The common thread across every case is the same: a weak or distracted central government, ungoverned forest or desert terrain used as a base, a dual strategy of violence and legal normalisation, and a population exhausted enough by insecurity that an alternative order, any order, starts to look acceptable. For the peace and safety of this great nation and to keep the peace of the West Africa because once Nigeria falls, Ghana, Cameroon, every other neighbours aren't safe. we control the economy in a large sense. Let's track back. It started in Afghanistan post-2001, the US dismantled the Taliban state but never replaced it with anything that held. That vacuum became the proof of concept: a modern nation-state could be rolled back. From there the ideology, the financing, and the personnel spread outward. Iraq was next. The 2003 US invasion dissolved the Iraqi army overnight, putting hundreds of thousands of trained, armed, humiliated Sunni men on the street with no income and a deep grievance. Al-Qaeda in Iraq grew directly from that pool. When those fighters were later imprisoned together in Camp Bucca, they organised inside the prison and the men who walked out of Camp Bucca in 2009 founded ISIS. ISIS then executed the most dramatic territorial expansion in modern jihadist history. By 2014 they held a landmass larger than the United Kingdom spanning Iraq and Syria, declared a Caliphate, ran courts, collected taxes, issued passports, and governed millions of people under Sharia. They didn't just fight, they administered. That is the Taliban model at industrial scale. Syria's civil war gave them the ungoverned space they needed, exactly as Nigeria's forests are providing now. Libya's collapse after Gaddafi created another ungoverned corridor. From Libya the networks pushed south into the Sahel , Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso which is the direct line into Nigeria's northwest border today. Africa is at risk with the fall of Nigeria. All hands needs to be on deck.

I was thinking, what is actually the end goal of these kidnapping and killings. if it was money and survival, they won't expand this wide and the killings would be minimal. so there's a different goal, Control and terror. It started when the model was tested. Chibok girl 2014, the idea was ideological terrorism and somehow they won, the Nigerian government paid. Now, they saw a way that they can make money and fund the expansion idea. 'Kidnapping was lucrative'. Although they are being funded by various other means but kidnapping seemed like less suspicious way of going about it. A whole lot of high profile mass kidnapping from chibok girls (276) , a total of approximately $3.7 million dollars was paid, dapchi girls (110 girls)- Yobe state (February 2018). Kankara school boys (344 people)- Katsina ( December 2020) ₦30 million naira was paid. Kagara in Niger ( February 2021) 42 people. Ransome was paid by the families. Jangebe Girls (Zamfara) 279 girls - February 2021, the Government denied paying ransom but we saw that it was mostly a lie because there were no arrests made. I could go on and on. As of last year, we had Saint Mary, Papari Niger state, November 2025, 315 students were kidnapped. Sources report that ₦40 million per head was paid. that's around $7 million dollars. Now we have identified that Kidnapping is lucrative but why the killings. From the 2013 Baga massacre, where up to 200 civilians were killed by Nigerian military and Boko Haram forces, through Boko Haram's devastating 2014 rampages killing around 310 people in Gamboru Ngala and up to 500 in Gwoza. The January 2015 Baga massacre remains the bloodiest single episode, with Boko Haram killing between 150 and 2,000 people and displacing over 30,000. The violence shifted westward in the 2020s, with armed bandits on motorbikes killing over 200 people across Zamfara State in January 2022 alone, burning five settlements and displacing 10,000. That April, over 150 more died in Plateau State , and December 2023 brought coordinated Christmas attacks on 20 communities in Plateau State that killed roughly 200 and injured 500. In September 2024, Islamic State militants massacred 130 villagers in Tarmuwa, Yobe State, as punishment for cooperating with security forces. Most recently, in February 2026, militants killed at least 162 people in Kwara State after villagers refused to submit to their version of Sharia, using a mosque prayer call as a trap to draw survivors into the open. Now we can see a pattern, with each kidnapping and ransom being paid, in it wake followed killing and movement. meaning they expanded. they are being reports that they give them bikes as ransoms for the small scale kidnappings they do on the side. and the pattern is the movement westward through a specific route. Borno → Yobe → Kaduna → Niger State → Kwara → Oyo (Ogbomosho). As Benue and Plateau are still being terrorised. the journey directs to the south and the end point is Lagos (the sea). Oyo State to Lagos is just about 100 kilometres. Attacks in Oyo, Ogun, and Ekiti States have already been recorded. with confirmed kidnapping in Ijebu ode (3 family members). Now, it is simple and clear. the more micro kidnapping that can happen, the more the state is plunged into terror and the most instability grows. it is just a matter of time before the mass killings start. The goal is to capture. When the south west is subdued. The agents that have been in Lagos for years learning the terrain and knowing it better than Lagosians get activated. What does this lead to, easy grip of power. This then leads to the government giving up control. They have an endless funnel of people to control and radicalize as it won't be an easy fight but the game plan is clear. Use fear and terror to gain control of the country. We look at the present day government and we see something peculiar. in the past 6 years, there seems to be rapid growth of this insurgency and it seems unchecked. next post

There seems to be compliance on their part. there are almost daily to weekly reports of either micro kidnapping, killings to large scale kidnapping and killings. what does this mean. It means there is either a bigger plan that they are involved and they are watching the country descend into a system because a country as strong as Nigeria has watched violence grow and evolve in the last 12 years using a particular play book. it started when Borno was captured and there major parts of the states was under the control of these terrorists. Poverty and hunger was weaponized and people were recruited to fight a cause ( to be established later ). The north is a place known for a lot of births and nobody to take care of them so they are left to fend for themselves. These people are then taken up and then taught how to use violence to gain food. They are taught that their lives are quite inconsequential and they are doing it for themselves and the greater good. ( Suicide bombings). They noticed that those are not so effective anymore as they just lose people so instead, they go in the night and perpetuate their activities. Somehow, the military cannot do anything to fight against this properly and the trail of terror and destruction continues. It all looks like a systemic grab of power to change government and the course of Nigeria and the current people in government are complacent and mainly involved. not dwelling on speculation but reports of government dealings with them are littered over the internet. Now, this looks familiar. The Taliban model. The Taliban didn't conquer Afghanistan in a straight line, they took the forests and border areas first, embedded informants, sent warning letters before bullets, and let attrition do the rest. The Boko Haram Sadiku faction sent warning letters to Kwara communities for five months before massacring over 160 people in February 2026. After Ogbomosho, six locals were arrested as suspected informants running logistics for the attackers, meaning the network was already inside the community before the attack. Militant cells had already probed the Old Oyo National Park as a forest corridor, mirroring exactly how the Taliban used mountain terrain as operational cover rather than destinations. Meanwhile, bandit activity rose 731% between 2018 and 2022, and the southwest is now the kidnapping epicentre after the north-central region communities are being economically terrorised into submission before ideology is even imposed. Nigeria's version is moving faster than Afghanistan's because the state is stretched thinner, the forests run deeper, and Lagos is a far bigger prize than Kabul ever was. Earlier report of the ISIS leader being killed in Nigeria confirms this suspicion. The Taliban's stated goal was to expel foreign forces and re-establish an Islamic emirate governed by their interpretation of Sharia law. The funny thing is there have been rumours of turning Nigerian into Sharia law. There are two tracks running simultaneously. The violent track has militants preaching Sharia in border villages, rejecting the Nigerian constitution, then sending warning letters before massacring those who refuse to comply. The legal track is quieter but equally deliberate in January 2025, the Supreme Council for Sharia moved to inaugurate Sharia courts in Oyo State, triggering such a backlash that the Oyo governor had to publicly assure residents no religious law would override the constitution, while Ekiti's Attorney General was forced to clarify that his state does not recognise Sharia courts at all. This is the complete Taliban model: armed groups clear the ground through fear while parallel legal structures are pushed through institutional channels. One softens resistance, the other normalises the replacement. Both are happening in the same region, at the same time. Now, it's evident, the end game. the next election is crucial but overall, a lot needs to be done. Awareness. people need to be aware.

Please don't allow Nigerians run these ports. They would run it to the ground and fill it with the most corruption the world can witness. the entire apapa, the only port that is standardly ran is APTM, why? because it is not run by Nigerians!
