This picture is not just a photograph.
It is the true definition of sacrifice, patriotism and duty. 🇳🇬❤️
These are the men who sleep on rocks so millions of Nigerians can sleep peacefully in their homes.
While many complain from the comfort of their beds, our gallant troops stay deep in hostile terrain, facing bullets, hunger, harsh weather and death itself just to keep this country standing.
No camera lights.
No luxury.
No applause loud enough to match their sacrifice.
Yet every day, they continue to fight for Nigeria with courage that words can hardly describe.
May God continue to protect our brave troops.
History will remember that when terror tried to break Nigeria, these men stood between the people and chaos. 🙌🏾🇳🇬🔥
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTONOMY, I HAVE AN AGENDA.......
So, don't waste your time on my TL asking "What are you up to".....I am up to something.. I HAVE AN AGENDA!
Why is Gov Seyi Makinde against Local Govt Autonomy and why are many of the Governors against LGA autonomy? MONEY.....
If a State like Oyo State that has 33 LGAs have Governor Seyi Makinde like several States saying they are against LGAs autonomy, the question is, where is the money meant for LGAs in 7 years that he's been governing?
Look at it this way and use it to COOK against all the States EXCEPT LAGOS where the LGAs are having their funds to do their things.
Afijio LGA in Oyo State since 2019 has gotten over N20 billion....
Ibadan North in 7 years has more than N25 billion
Ibadan South West has more than N25 billion...
Oyo State in 7 years has gotten N778.8 Billion.
Which means IF State Governors allow funds for LGAs to work for LGAs under them, they will not have much trouble because they can concentrate with weightier matters at the State level with State FAAC....
But. why are they not allowing LGA FAAC to be used in each LGA?
Pick any LGA in Oyo State and convince yourself that that particular LGA has enjoyed anything close to N20 billion allocation in 7 years be it in Road infrastructures, Primary Schools, Primary Health Care Centres, Parks, gardens, Street lights etc..... THAT IS THE AGENDA.
If 33 LGAs have average of N24 billion in 7 years, that will be equal to N792 billion so far FOR LGAs in one State.
Ok, divide it into two, take one part and USE one part for the LGAs, you will see miracle PHCs, Roads, Gardens and Parks, Recreation Centres, Good primary and Secondary Schools......
THINK: One LGA = 12 Wards....N25 billion, spread it across 12 wards and tell me you will not see Dubai in some of those Wards.
But NO, LGA funds in the hands of State Governors is like fresh manna from heaven on Saturday morning.
You see this AGENDA that you said I am cooking, please help me cook it for or against other Governors irrespective of their Political parties!
WHERE ARE THE BILLIONS?

I have a couple of friends within and outside Nigeria that are now fond of sharing every bad news about Nigeria with me especially from Instablog, Tunde Ednut and few others all in a bid to question my support for the President.
My response has been the same and quite effective.
- Where was your message when Nigeria recently eliminated the number 2 of ISWAP (globally) in addition to over 100 members in a collaboration with the US?
- Where was your message every time reports come out that thousands of terrorists have been eliminated in the Northeast by the military?
- Where was your message when Nigeria’s economy was listed among the highest growing economies in the world ahead of many of your favorite nations?
- Where was your message when students celebrated 3 years of no ASUU strike due to increased funding and the students loan?
- Where was your message when several citizens were celebrating improved infrastructural investments across the 36 states of the federation?
- Where was your message when state governors were praising the President for increased allocation which has stopped them from borrowing and helped pay salaries on time?
- Where was your message when Nigeria was removed from IMF list of debtors?
- Where was your message when companies that used to declare losses started declaring excess profits all over the place?
- Where was your message when Nigeria became a net exporter of petroleum products compared to years when we were the import king?
- Where was your message when leading credit rating companies started upgrading Nigeria’s rating after many decades?
- Where was your message when people were praising Tunji Ojo for making our passport applications easier than it has ever been in the country?
Why is it that you only remember to message me when bad things happen in the country? Have you been waiting for this opportunity simply because you didn’t like that choice of 2023?
Again, let nobody gaslight you ahead of 2027 due to recent developments that now sounds politically motivated. They have a right to focus on the criticisms and bad news while you have a right to focus on the positive ones while hoping for the best going forward.
It is a fight between those who want to take us back in time to the corrupt days when subsidy payments on fuel and forex ruled the economy.
A fight between those who just want their kinsman to become the President without any solid capacity and one that has proven overtime to be effective.
Their concerns must be duly noted but never get gaslighted by their claims on your choice. Come 2027, the only choice is to remain focused and return the one that has done the hard job which other presidents have ran away from simply because they want to win elections.
We will be there cos it will happen 😊.
A lot was wrong with the privatisation program between 2003, 2007 and 2013. We just have to move on as a country and put them behind us.
*Nitel - 2001
*ALSCON - 2007 - $3.2bn sold for $130m
*Delta Steel Company - 2005 - $1.5bn sold for $30m
*Osogbo, Jos Steel Rolling Mills- sold in 2005
*Steyr Nigerian Limited ( manufacturers of Tractors and trucks ) 2005 sold for N700m
*Ajaokuta steel - 2004
* MMA 2 - 2003
* Lagos Ibadan Expressway - 2009
* Power privatisation - 2013.
The sad part was that some of the "investors" who purchased the entities didn't make full payment till date.
In 1982 the price of this Volkswagen Beetle was N3,908, but your father and uncles couldn’t afford it. Was Tinubu and APC the reason for their poverty?
Today, you’re blaming Tinubu for your poverty, just as your parents blamed Shehu Shagari in 82.
🇳🇬 Despite our setbacks, we will keep fighting until victory. Not because the road is easy but because we have no other country than Nigeria.
This land is our only home. Its peace is our duty. Its future is our fight. We will not tire. We will not surrender. Victory is assured.

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have repelled a coordinated attack by suspected ISWAP fighters on a military position in Borno State, killing dozens of insurgents and recovering weapons in a follow-up operation.
The military said the attack, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday at the Forward Operating Base in Mandaragirau, was met with a swift and coordinated response by ground forces, supported by air assets. The engagement forced the attackers into a chaotic retreat after encountering what officials described as a “deliberate offensive-defensive” response by troops.
