🗣️: A retired Major General was killed by bandits, yet the outrage has been muted. 🗣️: Where are the statements from religious leaders, sociocultural groups, and influential voices in the North? Dr Majeed Dahiru questions the muted reaction from the North to the killing of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar #NIgeriaInfoMCF

“The issue of Terrorists celebrating sallah shouldn’t bother Nigerians, we are winning the war against terrorism” - General Abubakar Rabe in 2015. Only to end up kidnapped & killed by terrorists 11 years later. I hope Christopher Musa is watching.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order that will functionally wall off the Canadian export economy from the United States. Every Canadian company shipping to the US now must: -Post much higher per shipment bonds -Be CTPAT validated by US customs -Disclose beneficial ownership & domestic assets -Provide foreign tax IDs & detailed supply chain data -Lose access to “informal entry” for low value shipments entirely The reason? Foreign importers can’t be trusted to comply with US law. The trigger? Canada’s documented failure to enforce its own forced labour ban. 80% of our exports go south. The Prime Minster yesterday said “we expected this” Canadians who export to the US sure as hell didn’t. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

How much suffering is enough? @officialABAT

“I need to educate Nigerians about elections. Elections are a process; they do not end on election day when people go out to vote. It starts with voter registration, then voting, and defending your votes. It is not the responsibility of Mr Peter Obi to defend your votes—it is your responsibility and my responsibility to defend our votes. All of you saying Peter Obi is too soft should understand that he is just one man. He has nothing to løse; he is a billionaire. We are talking about the common man who cannot even afford to feed.” — Man react

Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was on the kill list but survived the Jan. 1966 onslaught. He didn't plan the coup. He didn't want the job. But for the next 194 days, everything he did was used against him. This is Power & Plunder, Episode 2.

"Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others change their principles for the sake of their party." Winston Churchill Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey. I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built. Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people. Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so. Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment. Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty. The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character? Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest. Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.

The Nigeria we must build is one where every child, no matter their surname, language, or state of origin, can dream without limitation. A Nigeria where competence matters more than connections, where unity is not just a slogan, and where justice and opportunity reach everyone. We are not perfect, but we are growing. And despite everything, this country still carries something powerful: Nigeria will be OK. Nigeria will work for all of us, or it will work for none of us. So this is the time to reject division, reject hatred, and choose nation over tribe. Smile, it will be OK Nigeria.

MY SPEECH AT THE NDC NATIONAL CONVENTION 09 MAY 2026 FCT, ABUJA Fellow Nigerians, It is with immense pleasure and a deep sense of fulfilment that I address you today on this historic occasion of the National Convention of our great party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), in Abuja. Since we joined this party, together with numerous stakeholders, millions of supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians, the NDC has continued to attract quality members and ignite enthusiastic conversations among citizens and observers both at home and abroad. What began as a bold movement is steadily becoming a formidable platform for national renewal. Ladies and Gentlemen, Nigeria stands at a critical crossroads. The world is undergoing a profound geopolitical shift, yet our nation has been caught unprepared, largely because of poor leadership. Instead of positioning Nigeria to seize emerging opportunities, bad governance has left us bearing the brunt of global changes. We are witnessing a sharp decline in the quality of life. Insecurity has created widows and orphans across the land. Millions have been displaced from their homes. Investments are fleeing, critical infrastructure is neglected, the education system is collapsing, and harsh economic policies have been imposed on citizens without meaningful safety nets or relief. Yet Nigeria’s history teaches us that in our most challenging moments, visionary alliances have provided the way forward. In 1954, a historic partnership was formed between the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), led by Aminu Kano and the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), led by Nnamdi Azikiwe to achieve national unity. Again, in 1960, against steep odds, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe’s National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) formed a coalition with the Northern People’s Congress (NPC) to birth our independence. In the Second Republic, the alliance between Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme under the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) helped restore civilian rule and national unity after years of military dictatorship. It is therefore with great sense of unity and solidarity, that as a loyal party member, I support the decision to zone the presidential ticket of the NDC to the South, so that it allows the region to complete its turn in producing national leadership. This represents a true opportunity for true national healing. We shall work in abidance with the party’s agreement to ensure fairness and federal character in all ramifications. This party shall also ensure to change the way things are done today by prioritising leadership without ethnic jingoism and religious favouritism. The leadership standard we shall set will therefore restore Nigeria’s dignity and will guarantee that our citizens at home and the diaspora will be treated with respect and dignity. Lastly, we can only achieve that by continuing to mobilise to register with INEC to vote, and the NDC to belong to this noble cause. Please register, today. Thank you. Long Live the Nigeria Democratic Congress! Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria! Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE Former Governor, Kano State

This first episode is a must watch or else you won't be able to piece together the state of Nigeria, there's no soft way to independence, eagerly waiting on other episodes, vested interest adjusts to whoever is in power.

In 1914, Britain smashed two completely different territories into one colony — because it was cheaper. They rigged the constitution, found oil, changed the rules, and handed it all to a man who knew the whole thing was broken. His name was Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.

When he was Governor of Zamfara State in 2022, @Bellomatawalle1 funded 97 clerics to Saudi Arabia “to go & pray for a stoppage of banditry” in order to “diversify strategies to restore peace & security in the state.” Why the prayer had to be procured from outside #Nigeria & for premium fee remains a mystery that he alone can unravel. While other countries export processed products, Nigeria exports #ProcessedPrayers. The fact that Zamfara State remains more troubled today than then says all there is about the efficacy of the idea of exporting #PrayerWarriors. But that did not prevent Matawalle from going federal. Today, as Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, his #TriedAndTested playbook bears remarkable fruit for a country affronted!! lawandsocietymagazine.com/ni…

Where is the @GovernmentZA in all of these incidents?

Truly we have failed as a nation. From right to left, our justice system. @DeleFarotimi @ruffydfire

This is not Sudan, this is not Yemen, this not Syria. This is Tinubu’s Nigeria in 2026.

Call for a protest Nigeria youths will give you 1 million likes on Twitter and only 2 people will show up. Bunch of cowards. That’s why politicians wasted your 20’s with bad leadership. When will you be brave enough to fight for life and for your future? Maybe after you waste your vibrant youthful years in a country that has been designed to impoverish you. Take back your country.
