"Why are you wearing camera glasses? Why are you recording on the road with your glasses? Remove them immediately."😳💔🤯
— Security operatives at a checkpoint in Imo State were seen ordering a man wearing AI smart glasses to remove them, allegedly insisting he delete the recorded video after collecting the glasses. The glasses later reportedly switched off due to a low battery.
The man who shared the video also alleged that the operatives extorted ₦200,000 from the young man.
"I went to deliver a necklace to someone when police officers stopped and searched me in Festac, Lagos. They found nothing on me but saw the scale I use to measure gold and accused me of using it to weigh weed. They ordered me to follow them to the station, but I refused because I had done nothing wrong. They were not properly dressed as police officers, and the bus they arrived in had no registration. They then dragged me, tried to force me into the bus, and one of them hit me on the head with a gun before they started be@ting me."
— Man cries out as he accuses Nigerian police officers of ass@ulting him.

Fourteen Nigerians were kidnapped along the Lagos-Benin Expressway, but what happened afterwards is the part I think deserves serious attention.
At about 9:30pm on July 30, troops of 4 Brigade Nigerian Army were on routine patrol when intelligence reached them about the kidnapping in Ovia North East LGA of Edo State. They didn't wait until morning. They immediately moved after the kidnappers and followed their withdrawal route.
The pressure became too much for the criminals. They abandoned 11 of their victims and escaped into the surrounding forest.
But three people were still missing.
And this is the part I love so much. Our soldiers didn't say, "Well, we have rescued 11 out of 14." They didn't close the operation and celebrate what they had already achieved. The following day, July 31, they went back into that forest and continued searching for the remaining victims.
They combed the area until those remaining three people were found and rescued.
Just imagine what those families must have been going through throughout that night. Eleven families had received the news they desperately wanted, while three others were probably still waiting, praying and wondering where their loved ones were. Then came the news that the remaining three had also been found.
After medical assessment and preliminary debriefing, the Army confirmed that all 14 victims were in stable condition. They were reunited with their families or allowed to continue their respective journeys.
This is why timely intelligence from ordinary Nigerians matters so much. Somebody provided information, troops acted on it immediately, kidnappers were forced to run, and 14 Nigerians who could have remained in captivity are free today.
The criminals themselves are still being hunted, and I hope that part of the operation continues until they are apprehended.
Sometimes we read "14 kidnapped victims rescued" and scroll past it like it's just another headline. But those are 14 human beings. Fourteen families spared days, weeks or possibly months of uncertainty and fear.
Kudos to the troops of 4 Brigade Nigerian Army and Brigadier General Ahmed Balogun. Keep the pressure on these criminals. Every Nigerian rescued from captivity is a victory worth celebrating, and every forest denied to kidnappers makes our roads and communities a little safer. 🇳🇬
This is quite commendable!
Kudos to our gallant soldiers who are still honest and sacrificing their lives daily for the common good of our Father land.
Thank you.

“I Was At Aburi. Yakubu Gowon And Odumegwu Ojukwu Both Agreed And Signed The Aburi Accord In Ghana. But When They Came Back To Nigeria, Gowon Went Back On The Agreement.” ~ Godwin Alabi-Isama Reveals
Ironically the Nigerian government isn't bothered one bit about this population surge. There's no existing population policy, no plans to check the growing population and no strategy or even a vision to feed this population. Agriculture is still on the subsistence levels with little or no mechanized farming. Even the subsistence farmers themselves have been thrown off their lands by Islamic terrorists who have in some cases established tax-collecting fiefdoms in these places. The inability to feed the population leads to increased poverty and greater resort of the teeming hungry and unemployed youth to terrorism particularly in Northern Nigeria. The political class on its own practice primitive prebendalism in such a bizarre manner that corruption in public office is unprecedented. The international community have to be interested in Nigeria. If Nigeria fails, the world's fight against Islamic fundamentalism will fail woefully. All eyes have to be on Nigeria's planned January 16th 2027 presidential elections. The government has to be forced to allow for a free and fair polls which at present is looking increasingly unlikely. Only with a change of governmental trajectory will the gloom realities of the future be reversed.
On May 7th, I collected these automatic rifle rounds from the scene of a mass killing that happened outside my city the previous night.
Where I stood, the floor was littered with bloodstains, scattered shoes, and torn pieces of clothing. The bullets were lodged in the wall where they had ended up after passing through the seven victims of the May 6th attack in Nding Sesut, Fann District, Barkin Ladi LGA, Plateau State.
To this day, I am haunted by the images — the blood splatter on the walls and the shattered bodies of the victims. These bullets are not just a memory of a night of devastating sorrow.
They represent death. They are evidence of lives lost — the last thing to touch the bodies of the Christian victims of that evening massacre before their last breath.
Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President
I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.
While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.
Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.
The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.
No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.
The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.
A New Nigeria is Possible. PO
