APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has officially flagged off the construction of a 700km highway today on behalf of President Tinubu.
The road will link Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe and Bauchi-Biu-Maiduguri.
Beyond the fact that its over 1000km border stretch with Libya is “HEAVILY” militarized, we are talking about 20,000 deployment along its border, Algeria has zero tolerance for terrorism.
They weren’t always like that. They learnt the very hard way.
From 1992- 2002 , there was a civil war against uprising “jihadist fighters” who wanted to topple to Government. This period was known as the “black decade”.
The citizens pampered these local terrorists because they felt they were helping topple a “corrupt” government, until these terrorists started killing civilians and journalists with reckless impunity.
Soon after, they ( terrorist group) lost public sympathy, and that changed the tides of the war and the outlook on terrorism forever in Algeria.
Today, citizens in Algeria will prefer a corrupt government to the alternative of an Islamist rebel.
Lesson for Nigeria:- I need the North to loathe terrorism the same way Algerians do. I need terrorists to loose public sympathy.
It starts from the communal conviction of ending terrorism.
This APC primaries should have been next month. The timing is so wrong tbh. How do you ask for Sallah ram now from someone that was beaten blue black on the field? Ehn.
Se ko ni ba ikanra de?
Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
@Wizarab10 Here you go, 14 years ago. Someone overheard something about hantavirus on May 1st, 2012. Guess when the first case was reported in 2026? May 2nd, 2026 https://t.co/eMZtxIdjiE
Muhammadu Buhari was not a good leader. He wronged a country whose majority of population were below 30 years - which means harsh reactions against him will keep coming for seven more decades at least. Seven long decades for those who disagree! Allah ya gafarta masa.
Northerners must face this reality. Any culture or way of thinking that produced arewa in its current iteration has failed. Our generation's challenge is to rise above the failures of the past!
