Minister of Defence Christopher Musa has accused former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai of deliberately planning the killing of people in Southern Kaduna.

Musa made the allegation while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday.

The minister said El-Rufai’s administration created deep divisions in Kaduna State, alleging that the situation made it difficult for residents from Southern Kaduna to live freely in the northern part of the state and vice versa.

According to him, the administration of the current governor, Uba Sani, has made deliberate efforts to restore unity and rebuild trust among residents of the state.

“We know how it was when El-Rufai was there; it was toxic ,” Musa said.

“El-Rufai did a lot of terrible things in Kaduna State. He divided the country, the state, into two. In that, if you are from the south, you cannot go to the north to live. Those ones from the north were moving to the south.

“Governor Sani within one year has been able to dissolve all that. You see, now everybody is free, everybody has a say. It’s not 100%. Let me tell you, it’s not 100%, but you can see that he’s making deliberate effort in uniting the state.”

Speaking on the feelings of people in Southern Kaduna towards the former governor, Musa said the people remained deeply pained over killings recorded in the area during El-Rufai’s tenure.

He alleged that El-Rufai deliberately planned the killing of people in the region.

“Well, I don’t know if unhappy is an issue. I think if there’s anything worse than unhappy, we can never be happy with somebody who has deliberately planned for the killing of our people,” Musa said.

“I mean, when you look at it, if you look at his videos, you know, his speeches, he was very proud of what he did.

“He told us he paid bandits. He told us he did this, he did that. He didn’t hide it. He was that arrogant to come out and tell people that this was what he did.”

The Defence Minister said residents of Southern Kaduna were still traumatised by the killings that occurred during the period, adding that the security situation in the area had improved under the current administration.

“The Southern Kaduna people are still very pained. Of course, definitely. I mean, if you look at the number of killings that was done there and what is going on now, you can’t compare at all,” he said.

Musa further accused El-Rufai of denying some people opportunities during his administration and alleged that the former governor’s policies affected even people from his own part of the state.

“I can tell you what he has done to people living in Kaduna from his own area. He did a lot of things that I’m sure even him is not proud of,” he added.

The minister, however, called on Nigerians to reject politicians who exploit religion, ethnicity and other differences to divide the country.

“We should get politicians that want to unite Nigeria. For me, any individual who is using either religion, tribe, creed, or anything to divide the state can never be a friend; can never be somebody we look up to,” Musa said.

“We shouldn’t have those kind of ones in government. Anybody who is using religion or tribe or whatever to divide Nigeria is an enemy of the state."

I wasn't going to respond but your last paragraph reminded me of another western invention that didn't suit us well! The latrines!!!!

The Japanese have their own and are proud of it

The Indians are proud of the pit latrines. We look down on it but recently I was reading all these doctors giving a research about it. Now guess what they are now saying? Elevating your feet on a small stool while using a Western toilet helps straighten your colon and relax your pelvic floor for easier bowel movements.

Locally assembled lithium battery bank short-circuit, a catastrophic inferno will have occurred if not for the timely intervention of the house owner. Im not in anyway discouraging people from patronising locally assembled lithium battery power banks, but let's exercise cautious when buying, do not buy from non professional battery assembler all in the name of cheap, because not every cheap things are really cheap. Thank God for her timely intervention or else catastrophic loss from house fire will have occurred.

This is one of those things we don't think about until it's too late. We spend so much time worrying about big things – money, career, politics – but the simple things like a bathroom floor can take a life in seconds.

I've seen it happen. An elderly neighbour slipped in her bathroom, broke her hip, and never fully recovered. It wasn't the fall that killed her – it was the complications that followed. Bedsores. Pneumonia. Loss of mobility. Depression. All from one simple slip.

The rubber footmat is such a small investment, but it can save a life. It costs less than ₦5,000, but the peace of mind it brings is priceless.

Other things we can do for our elderly parents:

- Install grab bars near the toilet and in the shower

· Use non-slip mats both inside and outside the bathroom
· Keep a small stool in the shower so they can sit while bathing
· Ensure proper lighting, especially at night
· Keep the floor dry and clean at all times.

Our parents took care of us when we were helpless. Now it's our turn to take care of them. Let's not wait until tragedy strikes before we act.

Thank you, OP, for this awareness. May we never lose our loved ones to something as preventable as a bathroom slip.

Share your own insights please sir

We want to learn. I didn't finish writing yesterday but I just saw this mention now and it reminded me that I forgot to update the post. What lessons have you learned or I'm just blabbing around?

As a people, we have failed to follow town planning and maintain historical sites. We don't even keep to our own codes, some areas don't need high rise, some areas are for communities etc, we just do everything yam pepper scatter scatter, then complain later

Arostar2023:
So when we talk of school dropouts in Africa, you cite Bill Gates and co? People that were educated, probably finished High school, studied a bit at colleges or universities…you compare them with a Nigerian school dropout. Did you know how many executive courses and training these people you cited have attended over the years? Education is not just about “universities” and co. Some people abroad are even homeschooled…but then, making money is not a function of how many degrees you have got. That’s an established fact.

I have no problem with modern architecture. Don't get me wrong. What I am saying is that we have been brainwashed to thinking that what is not ours is better and a way of life. Even the oyinbo, after a certain period when they are nearing retirement, they no longer live in those houses. Why? Because there is no help. Children are busy with their lives. No one to take care of them. That's the lifestyle we are copying. We never needed old people's homes until we started changing our ways....

Again I watch travel blogs, I can tell you that what makes each place unique is their architecture and in my limited knowledge of that subject, what I know is that homes are designed to be functional and has history behind it, which is the people's way of life, CULTURE!

Even the tallest man in the world knew when to move to the functional house away from the people

If you go abroad, you will still see Turks laying on the floor, just like Hausa people do. They have blended it. We want to import everything from abroad. Foolish people. Nigerians are now building wood houses, imitating UK and Canada. Mumu people.

You love Venice but you hate your own or no reason how to improve your own. Why una no go live for water slum since we no wan get sense. They use wood for their own reasons and climate, the coldest places in the world design their own houses for their climate. Us? We invent problems we already once solved. Think mud houses will make you feel hot? Go and buy more problems with AC 😂

Elderly people detest staircases. Try not to do that. It makes me wonder when people build mansions and include so many things, they don't remember that what we need in this life are very simple things.

African architecture was designed for simple and functional living but we foolishly copied the West 🤡

The ones that went to school and got European, American and Asian education never took a second to think about their own way of life. Instead, they got brainwashed and used their left hand to point to their ancestors 🤡

Do you know African homes are so well planned that they already took care of slips and falls and clutter before oyinbo brainwashed you6? I say it here that I often laugh when I see NL members abuse Ibadan because of the brown roof and they want me to be happy with skyscrapers because in their own mind, that's modernity 🤡 Have you thought about functionality? Durability? Suitability? Environmental compatibility?

We Africans will continue to suffer for our mumunity because we want to be like everyone else but ourselves!

Our education is a wasted one because we took other people's things and made them ours. We lack identity and are not proud of it. We want to copy everyone else and we spend so much time learning about others but we ignore our own stories and why we did what we did 🤡

Imagine if your elders were living in the village (what you call the village), do you think you will need this post? Why do you think most old people retired to the villages? Hint: community!

Promising Atiku south east votes is a joke taken too far.

Not even politicians who have the ability to deliver their polling units should say that.

It is same if anyone suggests that Tinubu will defeat Obi in south east.

They have mostly made it look like he is not the worst to have governed Anambra state whereas, by far, he is.

Obi remain the choice of the majority in SE.

The reason some people become so bitter after an election is because they don’t tell themselves truth going to the election.

Atiku will win some states in the north west and north east, Tinubu will win some (may be fewer than Atiku).

However, the margins will be minimal.

In north central, Tinubu will win more states than Atiku.

Obi may not win any.

The 2023 religious war slogan is no more potent.

For instance, he won 7 LGAs in southern kaduna but today, Tinubu will win majority if not all of those LGAs. They have two federal universities now and good federal government appointments. They see that they are no longer an outcast in the country.

They don’t have a governor whose son would tweet that their existence does not matter.

Now in the south, south east will vote for Obi but he won’t get as much as +80% that he got in 2023 when IhPOB terrorists did not allow APC members to vote.

Nonetheless, he will still win a lot of votes there while APC will come a very distant second.

The ruling party may not even get the 25% threshold in more than one or two of the five south east states. And that is if party leaders in the region truly work for the president.

If they don’t, the president may not get 25% in any of the SE states.

As an APC member, you may not like this but it’s the truth.

That Tinubu is constructing abandoned roads in the zone won’t make many voters change their mind.

Go ask Buhari who built the second Niger Bridge among some other infrastructures. The people even denied that he was constructing it (the second Niger Bridge).

However, as poor as APC would perform in the region, ADC would be worse.

I do not see Atiku getting 10% in any of the states in south east.

It is simply impossible.

He did not get it even when he had the PDP structure going to the 2023 elections.

South south will be a fight between APC and NDC and not even in Rivers state where Atiku’s running mate hails from that ADC will secure 25%

If the party gets 15% in the state then Amaechi has really done a lot.

South west will not be good for the opposition especially the ADC.

While NDC will get a good number of votes in Lagos state, Obi will not come close to winning the state this time.

The momentum has since escaped to the air.

No pastor is going to force his church members to take any oath as they did in 2023.

In all other SW states, it will be a devastating electoral loss.

ADC already know that when all votes in the six SW states are aggregated, Atiku will not got 5% of the total vote that will be cast.

Let me take Osun state as a specimen.

If Tinubu gets less than 700k votes in the state, then something is wrong whereas, Aregbesola and Dino will have to dance more for Atiku to have double of what the party got in the recent gubernatorial election (17k votes).

In Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and Oyo states, ADC does not exist.

Anyone who therefore tells Atiku that he has the full backing of SE or that he stands any chance of winning the next presidential election is only deceiving the man.

By the time the results are out, they will say it was rigged.

That is their face saving consolatory slogan.

Removing fuel subsidy and floating the Naira at the same time plunged many people into financial abyss. You can hardly tell the difference between a engaged person and an unemployed person nowadays. Both are struggling to meet basic needs.

Tinubu took the people's commonwealth and redirected everything to the hands of the political class. Governors are receiving massive allocations with nothing to show, while the public groan in pain.

It depends on the type of transportation, if you do a nitch one it could be profitable and enough to maintain your vehicles.

Sometime back a fellow here said one was tearing lamba when I said my vehicles earned certain amount, he argued none earned more than 30k daily that he was into haulage too, instead of him to ask and maybe I could have revealed to him, he kept arguing and even insulting.

Oga, for light trucks I order parts from abroad, I even travel to go get some high end parts. Funny thing is that I decline engagements out of Lagos, yeah might do ibadan, abeokuta once in a while, but the Lagos area is enough without the risk of interstate travels which causes more expensive maintenance.
