Major-General Rabe Abubakar: The Wounds We Share I have just read the statement by the Katsina State Government confirming the passing of Major-General Rabe Abubakar, rtd, a former military spokesman, while in captivity. Even though the statement says that “the deceased… died a natural death from complications of diabetes and hypertension,” this does not erase the horror of the circumstances in which he spent his final days. What haunts us is not only the manner of his passing, but the tragedy of a life of service ending in the hands of criminals who have exploited the dysfunctions of our society. What happened to the General is a tragedy of immeasurable dimension. To return from a career that required putting one’s life on the line for one’s country, only to become a captive of ragtag criminals, is a fate no patriot deserves. It is a cruel reminder that this weather of insecurity is one we all breathe and feel. It bears our names, our faces, our families, and the histories of service behind its victims. There is no dignified way to avoid the truth that, as a nation and as a government, we have let down the General and many others who have met similar fates. This does not take away from the efforts I know were ongoing to secure his release or rescue, nor from the renewed operations and proactive steps being taken to confront these criminal networks. But grief must never be managed with denial. Something more radical, more coordinated, and more sustained must be done to break this chain of tragic events. Contrary to the assumptions of some, nobody is immune. What happened to the General is a cautionary tale for all of us in government today. The General, who once served in one of the most protected institutions in the country, could never have imagined such an ending. That is why it remains baffling when anyone assumes that those in public office are insulated from the failures and fractures of the nation. The same roads, the same communities, the same future, and the same consequences await us all. As a northerner, I am doubly troubled by the direction in which our region has been dragged. No honest person can claim ignorance of how we got here. If we are even more honest, we must admit that the untrained, abandoned, and hopeless children on our streets are being turned into cannon fodder for present and future dysfunctions. Even if banditry and terrorism are defeated, a vulnerable demographic left without education, discipline, opportunity, or hope will remain available for other invidious agendas against the Nigerian state. This is the part that should frighten us most. We once spoke of building human capital. Today, too many of our people are trapped in the desperate arithmetic of survival. The government has the primary and non-negotiable responsibility to protect lives and property. But no government policy, however well designed, can fully overcome a society that refuses to confront parental irresponsibility, the abandonment of children, hostility to education in some communities, and the casual normalisation of neglect. Security is not sustained by bullets alone. It is sustained by schools, families, values, livelihoods, justice, and a population civilised enough to reject the temptations of nihilism. And yet, we cannot afford to lose hope. Despair is exactly what these criminals want to manufacture. They want citizens to stop believing in the possibility of order, to stop trusting the state, and to stop imagining a country that can still be rescued. We must refuse them that victory. We must mourn the dead, demand better from the living, and insist that the Nigerian state still has the duty and capacity to reclaim every inch of its authority. May Allah forgive him, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and comfort his family. My condolences also go to all families who have lost loved ones to this madness. May their grief not be in vain, and may our country find the courage to end this tragedy.

Pessimists sound smart.  Optimists build the world.

I’ve muted this guy because every single post he makes about Nigeria is negative. In all the time I’ve followed him, I haven’t seen him share even one positive thing about the country. For the sake of my mental health, I really had no other choice but to mute him. 😒

OBASANJO HAILS ABDULSALAMI AT 84, CREDITS HIM FOR RESTORING DEMOCRACY Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has lauded former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, describing him as a distinguished military officer, patriot, nationalist, elder statesman, and peacemaker whose leadership was pivotal in Nigeria's return to democratic rule. Obasanjo stated this during the celebration of "GENERAL ABDULSALAMI ABUBAKAR @84: LEGACY OF A STATESMAN" held in Abuja, where he reflected on Abdulsalami's historic role in guiding the nation through one of its most challenging periods.

PRESS RELEASE DEFENCE HEADQUARTERS MOURNS THE PASSING OF RETIRED MAJOR GENERAL RABE ABUBAKAR, REAFFIRMS RESOLVE TO ERADICATE TERRORISM The Defence Headquarters regrets to announce the passing of Major General Rabe Abubakar (Retired), who tragically lost his life in captivity following his abduction. The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) convey its deepest sympathies to the Abubakar family, his colleagues and all Nigerians. Maj Gen Abubakar served the nation with distinction and held many appointments including spokesperson of various military formations as well as spokesman for the AFN as Director Defence Information. He made immense contributions to counter-insurgency operations, professional development of the AFN and numerous other commendable and outstanding impacts. His commitment to duty and to the unity of Nigeria remains a shining example for all personnel of the AFN. The Defence Headquarters withheld public comment on his abduction in deference to ongoing rescue efforts by the AFN and sister security agencies. Every operational resource was deployed in the hope of securing his safe return. This sad loss further strengthens the resolve of the AFN. We will remain resolute in the discharge of our constitutional mandate to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria and to protect all citizens. In response to series of unfortunate abductions across Nigeria including that of Maj Gen Abubakar, ongoing operations have since been further intensified to bring perpetrators to justice and to dismantle all terrorist networks threatening our nation. We assure Nigerians that the Armed Forces will not relent until peace and security are restored and those responsible for terrorists activities across the nation are held to account.

Well done to that airline official who wouldn’t let Folarin Balogun’s mum fly back to England while pregnant with her future #USMNT star son. His US citizenship came by accident but he got the co-hosts off to a flyer here in Los Angeles telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

The Senate, @NGRSenate has passed the UBEC Amendment Bill, raising education funding from 2% to 5% of the Consolidated Revenue Fund and expanding free, compulsory education to Senior Secondary School. The next step is harmonisation with the HOR and presidential assent. The promise is kept, but the work is not done yet. #FollowTheAgenda #KeepPromises

Written by @MatAshimolowo .official WE WILL NOT BE SILENT A Celebration of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye There comes a time when silence becomes ingratitude. There comes a time when honour becomes a sacred duty. There comes a time when sons and daughters must rise to celebrate the gifts that God has given to a generation. This is such a time. We refuse to be silent while men and women of eternal significance are reduced to headlines, controversies, and social media trends. We refuse to stand by while those who have sacrificed decades in service to God and humanity are casually criticized by people who have built nothing, fathered nobody, planted no churches, and transformed no nations. The sons and daughters of prophets must never be silent while cheap publicity seekers use great men as instruments for attention. A generation that does not honour its fathers has no future. A people who cannot recognize greatness in their midst will eventually suffer the tragedy of its absence. Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is not merely a church leader. He is not merely a denomination head. He is not merely a respected minister. He is one of the most significant Christian leaders of our generation and one of the greatest spiritual gifts God has given to Africa and the global Church. We should never allow a man who chose humility to become the chewing stick of the uninformed. We should never permit the noise of critics to drown out the voice of history. We should never watch while modern-day Sauls seek to intimidate, discredit, or silence God's servants. Scripture records how King Saul pursued David. Scripture records how Doeg the Edomite became an instrument of destruction against the priests of God. Throughout history, political power has often sought to suppress prophetic voices. Yet God has always preserved His servants and vindicated His purpose. The Church must never become indifferent when its fathers are unfairly attacked. Nor should we wait until our prophets cross into eternity before we begin to celebrate them. Too often, flowers are sent to funerals when they should have been delivered while the recipient was still alive.

The murder of His Royal Highness, Eze Barrister Paulinus Ekwueme, the Ochia I of Ochia Kingdom, and five others in Imo State triggered an extensive intelligence-led investigation by the Force Intelligence Department – Special Tactical Squad (FID-STS), which uncovered a wider criminal conspiracy, led to multiple arrests, and culminated in the apprehension of a principal suspect linked to the killings. This documentary provides an inside look at the operation and the Nigeria Police Force’s pursuit of justice and accountability.
