Kuginzi: Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, says President Bola Tinubu is addressing the numerous security challenges facing the country.
The traditional ruler stated this on Friday after meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
“The major problem that we really have now is the problem of insecurity. Farmers find it difficult to go to their farms. It is already coming to the South also,” Ladoja stated.
“Everybody is apprehensive of going to the farm; everybody is apprehensive of going about their daily businesses. I don’t think it is insurmountable; we believe that the President is tackling it currently,” he added.
When asked about his mission to Aso Rock, the ex-Oyo State governor said he came to thank the President for his support.

He explained that since his coronation as Olubadan of Ibadan in September 2025, he had been looking for an opportunity to visit Tinubu in Abuja.
Weighing in on Tinubu’s style of governance, Ladoja said the President had a record of turning around the economic fortunes of Lagos while as governor.
Describing Nigeria as a complex country, he expressed confidence that Tinubu would transform the country like he did in Lagos.
He particularly stressed that before Tinubu leaves office in 2031, Nigeria would be better placed than it is currently.

“If you know from where he (Tinubu) is coming, you will know that he knows what he is doing. He was able to get Lagos from where it was to where he left it.
“I am sure that the situation in Nigeria might not have been as bad as it was. The problem is that Nigeria is more complex than a state because of the fact that not all of us have the same notion about what we want in Nigeria.
“The states have more money than we had when we were governors. They are able to meet their commitments more than what we had when we were governors. The economy is being fixed, we hope that when he is leaving in 2031, he will have put Nigeria where all of us would be proud of,” he stated. https://www.channelstv.com/2026/01/[/b]23/tinubu-tackling-insecurity-olubadan-says-after-meeting-president-at-aso-villa/

The intelligence agencies MUST take over the Investigation of this case. Enough of the massive disinformation from random people online who have the despicable intent to destabilize Nigeria. There's just too many fake videos out there online.
TouchNfollow: British woman, dubbed “the world’s most jealous,” makes her husband take lie detector tests every time he comes home
Meet Debbi Wood aka “The world’s most jealous woman”. She makes her husband Steve take a lie detector test every time he comes home, just to confirm he hasn’t spoken to or even looked at another woman.
Debbi Wood, a 52-year-old from England, earned the title "world's most jealous woman" due to Othello Syndrome, a delusional disorder causing unfounded infidelity fears, as documented in 2013
TV appearances and recent viral shares. She requires her husband Steve to undergo lie detector tests upon returning home to verify he has not interacted with other women, a routine linked to her co-diagnoses of bipolar disorder and body dysmorphia.
The post's image captures the couple's contrasting expressions—Steve appearing resigned—sparking humorous replies about his "rescue," amplifying its shock-value appeal on platforms like X.

Those who artificially created that highly despicable FAKE video for propaganda purposes MUST be fished out ASAP for punishment after undergoing trial in court. That deep fake is totally far from any form of creativity!
YouTube and other online platforms are ALSO getting filled with a lot of fake videos created by secessionists and non-state actors and it's time for the whole world to be more concerned about the role that video sharing platforms and WhatsApp are rapidly playing in the spread of disinformation. Period.
Just a quick NOTE,some of the random comments right from page 1 of this thread shows that a lot of people are highly gullible and do NOT pay attention to little details in addition to their negative thought processes.
Last BUT NOT least, it's very CLEAR to any fully observant person that the female voice in that video was super-imposed on the visual image of Florence Ajimobi (who is paternally a half-Lebanese and maternally a half-Urhobo woman). There is absolutely NO audio-visual synchronisation between Florence Ajimobi's image and the voice in the video. You would have to be as BLIND as a bat for you to NOT see the differences here!

OLAADEGBU: The US President said that 'there is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness' from the UK.
Donald Trump condemns Starmer's 'great stupidity' for giving away Chagos Islands in 'act of total weakness'
Donald Trump today accused Sir Keir Starmer of 'giving away' Diego Garcia to Mauritius 'for no reason whatsoever' in an 'act of great stupidity' that he believes justifies his demand to seize Greenland.
The US President said that 'there is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness' in the Chagos Islands.
Mr Trump used his anger over Diego Garcia to justify yet again why the United States should be handed Greenland, urging Denmark and his European allies to 'do the right thing'.
The US president is travelling to Davos for the World Economic Forum where he insists he will hold talks with European leaders about acquiring Greenland. Danish officials have decided skip the event in Switzerland this year.
Mr Trump said in a Truth Social post today: 'Shockingly, our "brilliant" NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.
'The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING'.
It came after Sir Keir Starmer held a Downing Street press conference where he branded Donald Trump's trade war threats over Greenland 'completely wrong'.
The British Government signed a treaty back in May to return sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, which will also see Britain lease back the strategically important military base on Diego Garcia for £101million a year.
Trump said of the deal: 'There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before.
OriOko88: Does anyone know where I can auction this big 🦉 owl? Today's early morning rain made it lose its bearing,so it was found hibernating at one corner of my compound.
I attempted to handle it but it fought back aggressively,so I used a basket to capture it.
What specie of owl is this? It's a big one. Can anyone buy it?
Someone who is a member of this discussion forum caught an owl 2 years ago and actually roasted and ate it up. He then shared the images of what he did here on a thread. It was really weird.
benardtotti: The actual phrase i would have used to describe you is censored so I decided to stick to what is available to analyse you . Final point : you guys never learn , one would have thought after 2023 you guys will be smarter but No , its the reverse , you all will learn a hard lesson in 2027
I have saved your moniker ,you ahd amihda will hear it from me after 2027 election, we will know who the kindergarten politicians truly are .
These ones coming online to type baseless and banal conjectures have limited knowledge of global geopolitical dynamics. The video BELOW says it all.
President 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu MUST ensure that Kashim Shetima continues as the VP. The biggest blunder Tinubu will be making is to choose Kwankwaso (a Fula man whose late father was the Sarkin Fulani or "leader of Fulani" of the small Kwankwaso village in Kano) as alleged by the rumor mill. It's ALSO only in Kano that Kwankwaso has some influence.
The current influence of the indigenous majority Hausa people of the Hausa States of North Western Nigeria must be taken into consideration as many have vowed in videos NOT to keep voting for Fula politicians who have taken political power from them. Since 1960, NO single Hausa man or woman has ever been elected as the President or Vice President of Nigeria. The Hausa States are also being governed by the minority Fulas. Except Shetima has been indicted for any link to crime or whatever, Kashim is indeed the BEST person to be the VP for another 4 years from 2017.
FreeStuffsNG: In the petition dated 29 December 2025, Mr Obaseki identified the alleged leaders of the group as Kapuepue Adun, Osayande Obakhavbaye, Osamede Nomoless Eriyo, and Osamiefan, also known as “Sales Guy,” alongside other individuals yet to be identified.
Hmmmm.
This is an epic strategy. If you fa gburu, gburu will fa igbo.
I actually saw this happening with the faces of the perpetrators all over the video evidence while their alleged sponsors openly dissociated themselves from the criminal action.

“This marks the highest non-oil export value achieved in the country for formal documented trade in the country and also from the inception of the council almost 50 years ago. So we have indeed beaten our own records of last year. So Nigeria has 6.1 billion U.S. dollars in terms of value for non-oil export,” she said.
According to her, the $6.1bn export value reflects improved activity across several value chains, supported by expanding market access and increasing product diversification.
Beyond value, Ayeni noted that export volumes also rose significantly, with total non-oil exports hitting 8.02 million metric tonnes in 2025, compared with 7.29 million metric tonnes in 2024, representing a 10 per cent increase.
She explained that the strong performance cut across agricultural commodities, processed and semi-processed goods, industrial inputs, and solid minerals, indicating gradual progress in value addition and broader product representation.
On the other hand, many factory workers worldwide have in the past lost their limbs and lives due to the moulding machines or other kinds of machines they have to work with.
SixSeven: US reputation has taken the biggest hit that an Obama 2.0 can't repair easily after Trump leaves. Is it too late to bell the car or is this sign of old age where when you get to a certain age you don't want anyone else to talk to you. Maybe only Bernie Sanders can talk to him but they are not on the same side. I posted this last weej
I wouldn't say that. The difference between him and the past is that he tells the world his plans before he goes ahead. Right now the world doesn't want to tell him Oga you need to stop this. His fan boys, like the sycophants we have here and brooding him. Someone fighting his own CBN Governor over interest rate. He's the prime example of being drunk with power and a drunk man can do whatever he likes in his state of inebriation.
Edit: Trump shared a note Rubio passed to him with the press. He wasn't supposed to read it loud but because he acts like a king, he does not take his time, he does first before he repairs any damage.
PHYTECH: A series of text exchanges between Donald Trump and European leaders about ownership of Greenland have sensationally been released.
The US president has pledged to tell European leaders at this week's forum in Davos, Switzerland, that "we will have to have" Greenland.
Messages released on Monday between Trump and Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Støre revealed the president no longer felt obliged to think only of peace after he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year.
On Tuesday, Trump has posted his own text exchanges with French President Emmanuel Macron and Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte. Here are the messages in full:
Text exchange between Trump and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Støre Released by the office of Støre following a freedom of information request by the BBC, 18 January at 15:48 (14:48 GMT)
Gahr Støre:
Dear Mr President, dear Donald - on the contact across the Atlantic - on Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine - and your tariff announcement yesterday.
You know our position on these issues. But we believe we all should work to take this down and de-escalate - so much is happening around us where we need to stand together.
We are proposing a call with you later today - with both of us or separately - give us a hint of what you prefer! Best - Alex [on behalf of Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb] and Jonas
Trump's response, 18 January 16:15 (15:15 GMT):
Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.
Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway?
There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States.
The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT
Message from French President Emmanuel Macron to Trump Posted on Truth Social by Trump, 19 January, 17:01 (12:01 GMT):
From president Macron to President Trump
My friend,
We are totally in line on Syria
We can do great things on Iran
I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland
Let us try to build great things :
1) I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danish, the Syrians and the Russians in the margins
2) Let us have a dinner together in Paris together on Thursday before you go back to the US
Emmanuel
Message from Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte to Trump Posted on Truth Social by Trump, 20 January, 01:53 (06:53 GMT) :
Mr. President, dear Donald - what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine.
I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can't wait to see you.
Yours, Mark
