💔💔😭Nigerian military officers and commanders who have lost their lives on the frontline or to acts of t£rr0r!sm since the beginning of 2026.
Whether active in the line of duty or targeted after a lifetime of service, these brave officers paid the supreme price. May their souls Rest in Peace💔🕊
“After killing two of my children, the bandits forced me to bury them with my own hands,” she says.
A Nigerian woman abducted alongside her three children has recounted a brutal ordeal in captivity. Two of her children were killed by the kidnappers, who then forced her to dig their graves and bury them herself. She also describes how she eventually managed to escape.
The testimony shows the deepening human cost of banditry in Nigeria, where countless families continue to endure unimaginable loss and trauma.
Today is exactly one month since Borno & Oyo State schoolchildren were kidnapped! ONE WHOLE MONTH, & our children are not back!
They are eighty-one in number, including seven teachers. We lost a teacher in a beheading.
From public outcry to street protests. Then we move on. Please we shouldn’t forget them.
It’s the rainy season in Nigeria, they must be cold. There are mosquitoes, their immune system is not that strong. Then there is acute malnutrition otherwise called kwashiorkor.
There are waterborne diseases as well.
Diarrhea, malaria, acute malnutrition, etc. The children are dealing with all of these elements. Then there is the human factor — trauma in the form of constant trepidation. My paranoia is justified! They risk becoming child brides. Child marriage is not a thing to sweep under the rug.
Who is going to give them the closure they so desperately need? Closure is a psychological support to move on & achieve your life dreams.
I’m sure they have a bucket list, goals or things they want to achieve during their lifetime. I’m sure we have engineers, doctors, teachers, nurses, pilots, architects, etc among them.
This is their formative years. They shouldn’t miss out on a sheltered life; the promise of a better tomorrow. We shouldn’t forget them!
They stay in the bush so that politicians can soirée & party harder. Nigeria is the father that abandoned his children. Please remember them today & say a prayer for them. They remind us that Nigeria is a country of particular concern.
This is heartbreaking. This is solidarity. Children are praying for their friends to be rescued. A mother who is a teacher is crying for help. The significance of “May 15” is not lost on us.
They are our children dealing with adult problems. They shouldn’t become part of an ongoing statistics. I am only pleading.
At this point? Your silence will fail the children. PLEASE LEND YOUR VOICE TO THIS. 💔🙏

A Black man scoring the first goal of the 2026 World Cup to silence the African continent’s most hostile nation towards Black foreigners is absolutely poetic. Thank you, Mexico! 🇲🇽
In 4days time, it will be one whole month of children being in the forest with kidnappers bruh.
A full moon of torture, hunger on sheer suffering. Their only offense was being poor Nigerians 💔💔
I tell you something about those 258 that came in: none of them committed any crime. The only crime they committed is the colour of their skin; they are black migrants in South Africa. Everybody is happy that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ensured they returned to Nigeria.

We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
#Obidients need to accept the reality. You don't have a platform. Under the electoral laws, you can only contest elections if you're on the ticket of a registered political party.
Seriake, much as you may disdain him, has offered ##Obidients and #Kwakwansias a platform to the Presidency. 1/
Last Lord’s day, we had the privilege of gathering again to fellowship with one another and be reminded to hold Jesus high ♥️.

Nigeria has 65,000 bandits terrorising the Northwest.
We have 160,000 soldiers in the Nigerian Army.
We have 371,800 police officers.
And we still cannot defeat people whose most sophisticated logistics request was motorcycles and house renovation.
Let that embarrass you on behalf of this government.
Now let us look closer at those police numbers.
371,800 officers sounds impressive until you learn that over 100,000 of them are not policing Nigeria. They are policing politicians. Carrying bags, Opening car doors, Standing outside guest houses at 2am so a senator can sleep comfortably while the village he represents is being raided.
The effective police strength available to 236 million ordinary Nigerians is closer to 270,000.
Subtract the ones on desk duty, the ones who are sick, the ones whose vehicles have no fuel, and the ones who have not been paid allowances in three months.
What you have left is a miracle that anything works at all.
160,000 soldiers. 270,000 functional police officers. A defence budget of $4 billion.
Against 65,000 bandits with motorcycles, locally fabricated weapons, and the audacity to submit renovation budgets to local government chairmen and demand Sharia law with N1 billion.
And we are losing.
This isn’t because we lack the numbers or we lack the funding but because the people controlling the numbers and the funding have decided that their personal security is a more pressing national emergency than yours.
Tinubu has over 100,000 police officers redistributed from your streets to protect people who already have DSS details, army escorts, and reinforced convoys.
Your village has one police officer who shares a motorcycle with the next village.
The bandits have more operational vehicles than your local police station.
And the government that created this arrangement is the same one asking for your vote in 2027.
You're kindly invited to join the HeartCry missions weekend in Abuja, FCT, from 2nd - 5th July, 2026 💌.
3 conferences. 3 days. 2 speakers.

Three weeks ago, my 23-year-old neighbor was kidnapped on her way to Kontagora in Niger State.
While in captivity, the bandits repeatedly raped her taking turns sleeping with her night after night. Still, they kept bargaining with her father over the phone, demanding ransom even as they violated her.
Her father fought with everything he had. He hustled day and night, borrowed from everyone, took loans, sold whatever he could determined to bring his daughter home.
When he finally gathered the full amount, he called the bandits and begged them, ‘Please, give the phone to my daughter. Let me speak to her. I want her to know I’m coming for her.’
They gave her the phone.
In a broken, traumatized voice, she told her father: ‘Dad, do not suffer yourself looking for the money. They have been sleeping with me. I’m traumatized. I can’t forgive myself. Even if I’m released, I’ll kill myself. Don’t bother paying the ransom.’
Those were the last words she ever spoke to him.
While her father was still holding the phone, he heard the gunshot. He heard his daughter being killed. Moments later, the bandits sent pictures of her remains to him, a final act of cruelty.
A 23-year-old girl. My neighbor. Someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend gone in the most horrific way possible.
This is not just one story. This is the nightmare too many families are living in Niger State and across Nigeria. Young women snatched on the roads, violated, used as bargaining chips, and discarded like nothing.
Living in Nigeria has become truly scary. You wake up, you step out, and you don’t know if you or your loved ones will return home. The fear is constant. The pain is constant. And too often, justice never comes.
Rest in peace to my neighbor.
