Sad: Our Children Are Now Pawns in a Deadly Ransom Economy
It’s heartbreaking to report yet another bandit attack on a school, barely three weeks after over 40 schoolchildren and their teachers were abducted and are still languishing in the forest.
The security situation in Kogi State has taken another tragic turn with a brutal bandit attack on Government Secondary School, Iluke, in Kabba-Bunu LGA. Armed bandits disguised in military uniforms invaded the school during an ongoing WAEC examination, killed the Vice Principal, Mr. Gani Anifowose, and attempted a mass abduction of students.
Reports from the scene indicate that local security personnel and vigilantes actively resisted the attackers and frustrated their abduction attempt.
Making educational institutions soft targets is a direct assault on the nation’s future. It creates a psychological barrier to school enrolment and worsens Nigeria’s out-of-school children crisis, disproportionately forcing young girls out of formal education due to fear. There is nothing more heartbreaking for a nation than being unable to protect its children.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of the Vice Principal, who lost his life while gallantly defending the children entrusted to his care. May God grant his soul eternal repose.-PO
This is how politics should be sold to citizens, debate on ideas & leadership approaches. Let the people who want to serve (not lord over) be the umpire before, during & after the elections with holding public servants at all levels accountable.
🇳🇬 Needs a HARD RESET.
#Debate
It is time for Asiwaju to finally disgrace Obi. Jagaban should humiliate him & show him that they are not mates. BAT needs to teach Peter Obi a lesson in a debate. We have to settle this once & for all. APC, can you make it happen?
Can we move away from the politics of character assassination to debates & allow Nigerians elect who they believe is better to lead 🇳🇬 forward.
Leave Peter Obi alone.
Let's put 🇳🇬 first, from insecurity to education, to national security, agriculture & electricity 4 growth!!!
There is no Northern state that Peter Obi can realistically win in 2027 not in the North-East, North-West or North-Central.
The only state where he may make a noticeable impact is Kano, largely because of the Kwankwaso factor, but even that, it won't still be enough for him to win the state.
And as for those who have mastered the art of collecting money from him by convincing him that he enjoys overwhelming Northern support, please don't stop.
This is the season when politicians are often at their most vulnerable to political fantasies and wishful thinking.
Keep telling him exactly what he wants to hear. After all, election seasons have a way of turning illusions into expensive ventures and false hopes into profitable businesses especially when the politician involved is as politically directionless and strategically aimless as @PeterObi
So by all means, continue feeding the fantasy. The longer it lasts, the more lucrative the business becomes.
Can we stop all this politics of NE, NW, NC, SE, SS, SW?
It's a shame to see educated folks talk like d words are coming out of their anus rather than from a healthy 🧠.
In 2026, where we are supposed to be taking our country back from politicians & demand servant leadership

@AareOnaKankafo@Rejoice_inlife Antecedence shows that such blue prints comes with the baggage of godfatherism politics which is very cancerous to the national healing we are all craving for.
I grew up under the military era & under BAT's tenure as governor. The difference is clear.
🇳🇬 needs a FULL RESET♻️
@BodeWarlord@Rejoice_inlife Must u fight? Must u abuse or insult? Can't you state why your candidate is better without slandering or stones.
Doesn't this sound better & more civil - I'm voting for BAT based on reasons 1,2,3?
Also, we are not a divided Nigeria, so let's all stop the ethic divide slurs. 🙏
Can I tell you one thing I've discovered in my walk with the Holy Spirit?
Beyond being a guide, the Holy Spirit is the greatest conversation partner you'll ever have.
In short, there is no gist partner like the Holy Spirit.
The day you grow to the point where He comes to you for a chat, demands your attention, or interrupts your day because He wants fellowship with you, YOU HAVE WON FOR LIFE.
Because beyond power, beyond gifts, beyond breakthroughs, nothing compares to being wanted by God Himself.
If you don’t have your voters card and you are a Christian, brethren
You are a big part of the problem. Because tell me how God is supposed help us bring about a positive change democratically? God is not a cheat!
You have faith, where are your works!
