MIKOLOWISKA:
oya tell us how you would locate ppl that don't want to be found

I'm america ppl have been held hostage for years just kilometer from their house

Please talk with intelligence
How will you find someone in 28000km²

46 people in America held hostage for years in open forests? By kidnappers who are constantly calling the authorities on phones that can be traced?

2800 square kilometers, not 28000.

So you dont know that Satellites can scan an entire city right to the roof of a house? Talk less of open forest?

Oga...haba....

Yo

Bro. How on Earth are you gonna make anyone learn this?

MIKOLOWISKA:
I'm other words your full of shit
BA?

Tinu brain said their location is known

Now you're talking sideways

Its talk like this that keeps Nigeria the way it is. The whole of Oyo State is 28,000 sqKm. The Ogbomosho area where the kids were kidnapped is 2000sqkm and you are telling me that in a country with a defense and police budget of almost 7 Trillion naira and over 1 million police, Army, prison, customs and other armed services, you cant locate 45 hostages and probably 50 kidnappers in an area that small despite all the billions spent on drones, satellites and weaponry?

Keep on supporting evil.

No evil done by man to man will go unpunished; if not by man then by God; If not in this world, then in that which is to come.

FULL TEXT OF ADDRESS AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRINCE ADENIYI ADEYEMI MATTHEW 25/06/2026

My dearest fellow Nigerians,
Relentless members of the Press,
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,

I welcome you today not out of convenience, but out of necessity. I stand before you today under a cloud of public misrepresentation, institutional denial, and deliberate attempts to silence legitimate questions that concern matters of national interest.

Firstly, let me wish Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila a happy birthday. I’m aware today is his birthday. This press conference is also a birthday gift to him. While celebrating, he should remember that Nigerians are waiting for him to tell the truth about what he knows about Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

Let me be clear from the beginning: I will not be intimidated because intimidation I condone not. I will not be discredited without response because you cannot beat a child and expect him/her not to cry, when pain is inflicted, a response is inevitable. And I will not allow my name to be used as a convenient shield in a matter that Nigerians deserve full transparency on.

I will rather die as a MAN than to live as a COWARD !!!

On 11th June 2026, Hon. Olufemi Hakeem Gbajabiamila issued a disclaimer distancing the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President from Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), alongside the Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC).

My name has been drawn into this storm.

I reject outright any attempt to reduce this matter to simple denials without addressing the core questions that Nigerians are now asking.

The issue is no longer about personalities. It is about contradictions that demand answers.

This claim of Chief of Staff to the President, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila that he doesn’t know about the existence of the Agency is derisory because in the real world, he should cover his face in shame.

If Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, who is supposed to be the Chief of Staff to the President and also the administrative gateway to the Presidency, can make such an administrative error, by allowing the president to sign a document with fake agency in it, he should possibly resign his appointment nowwwwwww…….

Let’s assume for one second that all what the chief of staff published were right, that the agency does not exist. Then how did the agency’s name get into the 2026 appropriation budget pages 50 and 51?

If the agency does not exist, yet found its way into the Nigerian national budget, what that means is that the entire 2026 appropriation budget is a fraud and should be discarded.

What the chief of staff to the president is now saying by his denial published in various national dailies is that our 109 Distinguished Senators, where we have seasoned administrators, former Governors and diverse professional experts are INCOMPETENT not to have discovered the fake Agency in the National Budget. What It means is that Our 360 reps members of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are rubber stamped, as they are being speculated.

This is not an emotional question. It is a procedural one.

Because the national budget does not emerge in isolation. It passes through multiple layers of technical drafting, executive coordination, ministerial inputs, budget office review, and finally legislative scrutiny by both chambers of the National Assembly where COS has meritoriously served for good 20 Years and rose from Minority to Majority leaders and Speaker for 4 years.

So the question becomes unavoidable: at what point in this process did references to non-existent Agency allegedly enter the official record?

And if they are indeed present in official documentation, what does that imply about the integrity of the process that produced and approved those documents?

For President Bola Tinubu to append his signature to a budget that includes a non-existing agency according to his chief of staff, is an embarrassment to this hardworking government.

My distinguished media practitioners, why do questions persist regarding administrative processes, budgetary lines, and institutional communications allegedly connected to this Agency if it doesn’t exist? The same acclaimed non-existent Agency has domiciliary account, pounds account and Treasury Single Account all domiciled in Central Bank of Nigeria. So, what COS is telling Nigerians is that the CBN Governor with His pedigree together with his 4 deputies, 16 capable directors and 5,300 staffs are clueless to not have detected a fraudulent document for opening of account? Is it even possible to open an account with fictitious documents in a commercial bank in Nigeria today, talk less of the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA? Please note that the process of opening an account with CBN starts from Office of Accountant General of the Federation. Therefore, COS is telling The Accountant General of the Federation who possesses necessary qualifications and experience of 30 years, his pool of Directors, Deputy Directors, Assistant Directors and other Professional experts in his office ARE SIT DOWN LOOK CIVIL SERVANTS not to have detected forged documents?

Chaiiiiiii………O ma se ooooooooooooo….. Eni agboju okun le, ko jo ani agba.

Fellow Nigerians, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has brought shame and disrepute to the Civil Service by telling us that The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation of Nigeria who graciously approved 314 staffs to the said non existent agency is INCOMPETENT with her 94,511 staffs?

How did the Agency get an office space at the Federal Secretariat and operate for over a year? Abi SGF Office with 6 Permanent Secretaries and numerous Directors are driven by pot of soups?

These are not trivial matters but questions at the sensitivity of governance, accountability, and public trust.

I am also compelled to address the attempt by the chief of staff to frame me as a fraudulent actor in this matter. That portrayal is not only false but deeply damaging to my person and reputation.

It has been alleged in certain quarters that there were attempts or considerations by the chief of staff to use security institutions in Nigeria to frame my diplomatic engagements as espionage or disloyalty. I categorically reject any attempt to criminalize lawful activity.

Now I want to put this out for clarity’s sake: the major rationale behind the disagreement between myself and the Chief of Staff is because he allegedly requested 48% of the take-off grant (#27,395,510,136) from the same agency which he denies it exists to which I rejected. After he collected a total sum of 400 Million by proxy with remaining balance of 200 Million to secure the said appointment.

Is the Chief of Staff open to examine all documents and communication trails in the President’s Office? Because I asked myself what could have happened for COS to issue that disclaimer when the President has Mr. BAYO ONANUGA, CHIEF SUNDAY DARE of this world, Mr. Daniel Bwala and retinue of media aides, was he pushed to do that, is there something pursuing him or he was under the influence of substance? I think this confirmed the general notion that the President has sidelined the COS because his cup is FULL due of his unscrupulous activities.

Let it be known: silence will not resolve this matter. Only truth will.

I therefore passionately appeal to Our Father President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for the immediate establishment of an independent investigative panel to:

Examine the mysterious death of Mr. Babatunde Tanimola who is the intermediary between myself and COS, who Police claimed he died through fire accident at an hotel in Utako, Abuja on 22nd of October 2025, a day after the COS petition was received by the Police.

To kindly investigate several attempted assassinations to my life especially the one that occurred on Sunday 7th September 2025 along Abuja – Kaduna Expressway where I narrowly escaped. Several belongings, vital documents were carted away including my 2 phones which consisted a lot of information. I reported the case to the Police and Department of State Security. I was told the phones were tracked to Gombe State but an insider confided to me that there was an order from the above to refrain from taking any further actions.

To compel the Chief of Staff to produce all the official documents he has signed since assumption into office for Forensic Analysis because he who alleged must prove and he who comes into equity must come with clean hands.

To compel the Chief of Staff to step aside pending the outcome of the panel because he has been using his office to intimidate people including media houses.

To review budgetary references and institutional records

Question all relevant actors

Publish findings transparently.

Such a panel should include credible civil society organizations and international organizations.

The purpose is clarity: not denial versus counter-denial.

If I am wrong, let an independent process prove it. If Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is right, let it confirm it.

To civil society, media, religious and traditional institutions: your engagement matters.

To Nigerians: focus on facts, not distractions.

Pages 50 and 51 of the 2026 appropriation budget are cited as proof.

I remain willing to cooperate fully with any lawful inquiry.

I will not accept being silenced or discredited.

Let the investigation speak. Let the documents speak. Let the truth emerge.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thank you all.

Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew

Thankyou, I will read every word!

He paid 400 million deposit to be appointed? To who? Please Does anyone know where we can read Adeyemi's full rebuttal statement?

If she is there illegally, how has she been able to fly in and out of the country? What passport or VISA does she have?
With her new found international status, I would have left long ago if I was her.

MIKOLOWISKA:
really
Na wá o
Where are they

That question is exactly why things like this continue to happen in Nigeria. Chibok girls, Abuja train kidnapping, Katsina school kidnapping, Zamafara massacre, kidnappings all over the South, Unknown gunmen....

Ganjafama:
Haba! Don't you have any iota of pity or respect for the dead? You seem to be forgetting that that one day ( even if it's a hundred year's time) you'd join her wherever she is.

Sadly. We bave a lot of evil people in the land these days.

Congratulations Nigeria Police. Good job. Please use this same awareness and skills to track the kidnappers and bandits. They are easier to track, much easier. They carry a lot of human beings around, order food and stay mostly in the bush.

God bless your hard work.

KobolanderSegun:
Yes I do know about the Buhari thing about going against the Chadians. But perhaps it was another soldier under Buhari that did it ? Have you ever thought of that ? If Buhari was indeed honorable he would have gone after the herdsmen and condemned them..Even in old age I know a 97 year old man who is full of action when people go against laws of our estate, he turns into a 35 year old man for like 5 minutes. Old age and sickness are never reasons for failure.

We had the terribly sick Yaraduah who is Nigeria's Greatest President Ever.

Come and see o:

@KobolanderSegun Come and see o

dgr8truth:
What is truly sickening is not merely the investigation of former public officials like dr Ifeanyi Okowa, for alleged misappropriation of public funds, but the fact that such investigations have become a recurring feature of our national life. The frequency with which former governors, ministers, and other public office holders are linked to allegations involving billions or even trillions of naira speaks volumes about the erosion of integrity, accountability, and moral values in our public institutions.

Nigerians should not normalize the expectation that those entrusted with public resources will eventually have questions to answer about missing funds. When corruption scandals become routine, it reflects a deeper crisis—not just in government, but in our collective values as a nation.

Equally troubling is the perception that investigations involving politically exposed persons rarely lead to thorough prosecution and meaningful convictions. The EFCC has recorded successes in many areas, but many Nigerians like myself remain unconvinced that the anti-corruption fight is applied consistently, especially when powerful political figures are involved. This perception, whether entirely accurate or not, weakens public confidence in our institutions and fuels the belief that justice is selective.

If Nigeria is to overcome the corruption that continues to undermine development, we must move beyond periodic investigations and media headlines. We need strong institutions that are genuinely independent, transparent procurement processes, effective judicial reforms, and swift prosecution of corruption cases regardless of political affiliation. Most importantly, we must rebuild a culture that values honesty, public service, and accountability from the family unit to the highest levels of government.

Corruption survives where there are weak consequences. It flourishes where political loyalty is rewarded above integrity. Until public office is viewed as a responsibility rather than an opportunity for personal enrichment, Nigeria will continue to struggle with the same challenges.

The fight against corruption cannot be left to the EFCC alone. It requires political will, institutional independence, civic vigilance, and a national commitment to ethical conduct. Only then can we begin to reverse the damage corruption has inflicted on our economy, our institutions, and our future.

Bro, you are right but Please dont waste your energy. The people dont really care,they are just as bad as their leaders. Sowore called Tinubu a thief, hes in Kuje now and every one is going on with their lives.

Belurved1:
Imagine a presidential aspirant for the next election who isn't campaigning but never misses an election to contest. These people must think we're fools. Jokers

There is no doubt you Nigerians are still in love with your oppressors.

OmoOdua3:
I share your Conclusion. Man, see People's Mindset. The Country definitely has no future. The end of the Tunnel is grimly dark.
Countries across different Continents are creating their own Path and moving forward, while the People in the World's largest Black Nation are still thinking this way.

For Godsake, Omoyele should just go back to New Jersey and let the People of this Shithole enjoy the Country they deserve - the Country they wish and prepare for themselves and their Descendants.

Una never know anything. From No. 1 Economy to No. 4, even within Africa - the Dark Continent, continue building fraudulent Coastal Roads to nowhere instead of focusing on Gas Power Plants. Up NEPA!

Omoyele, it will forever be well with you and all yours. Amen!

You have said it all.

MIKOLOWISKA:
do you know where the children are
sowore keeps going to meet them
see the difference

Bro. The exact location of the children is known.

Reading the comments here, I am fully convinced Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria and there is presently no light at the end of the Tunnel.

Drsnives:
It's just a matter of time.
Few years from now they'll retire and will reflect. Regret will now set in

Then they ll be fighting for their pension and call Sowore to help them.

Tenses:
Today is Sowore, tomorrow might be your father because you are underage.

Leave them. The shame of a nation.

The shame of the Nigerian nation. Security forces unable to find the kidnappers of school children for 36 days, but every ready to harass unarmed citizens.

The shame of the Nigerian nation. Security forces unable to find the kidnappers of school children for 36 days, but every ready to harass unarmed citizens.

Story....name them nau...Nigerians especially politicians always love using this tactic.

Although to be fair to this man, when he was fighting the herdsmen years ago, no body came to his support. His house was invaded by masked DSS men, friends killed or arrested and he escaped only to be chained to the floor in a Republic of Benin prison for almost 8 months on the orders of the Nigerian government. People In Nigeria were calling him a trouble maker.

Maybe like Nuhu Ribadu who also almost killed by government forces, he has come to his senses now that in Nigeria you are on your own when trying to do what is right

Kobojunkie:
Ah! That picture was taken after months of bullying, and Jonathan finally caved to the power that is Adeboye and his cabal. Have we all forgotten this other image?

Using your analogy, this President Goodluck and President Tinubu all happy, smiling and playing so that means GEJ joined Tinubu to insult Goodluck since they took pictures

Kobojunkie:
......
................ He did protest. He gathered petitions against the government's handling of the security situation in Nigeria back during Jonathan's time. He also planned to stage a 1-million man match as well.

Do you know the meaning of petition? So in the Bible where Christians are told to petition God, that means they are protesting against God?

Haba.

Kobojunkie:
Ah! That picture was taken after months of bullying, and Jonathan finally caved to the power that is Adeboye and his cabal. Have we all forgotten this other image?

Why are human beings like this?.So Pastor Adeboye having breakfast with Tinubu is equal to him condemning GEJ. Show one news story where he condemned GEJ OR ANY PRESIDENT?

Pastor Adeboye does not and has never publicly condemned any President, Show me where he did and I will give you N100,000. Otherwise please stop these lies. Its beneath you.

The picture you have shown shows him with President Tinubu and Fashola, same way he has met with every President since 1999.

desiredhome:
In 2012, during jonathan's regime, baba along side with tinumbu, tunde bakari and majority of yoruba leaders all came out in protest of occupy nigeria thereby raining curses on jonathan,....
Today all of them have remain silent, even when the situation have become worst....

Dont be lazy, internet does not lie, use goggle and comfirm it yourself

Why can't you show at least one news article or picture of it? I dare you to. Of course you can't. Thats the great problem with many Nigerians lazy analysts, inability to separate emotions from intellect.

This is Pastor Adeboye praying for President Jonathan. Show me one picture or news article of him attacking or protesting against him.

Nigeria is probably the number 1 country on Earth where most citizens dont have any knowledge of their own history.

This is one reason it will be difficult for Nigeria to be great and free. Too many Nigerians are too emotional , low IQ and zero knowledge of history.

When you have zero knowledge of history,you will keep making the same mistakes over and over.

desiredhome:
The penticostal christians are the most wicked set of people in this country....
Even with the evidence available online, they will still deny....
Probably this one was born after 2012.....

Pastor Led only one protest ever in 2020 under Buhari and APC

Flame77:
Can you provide evidence that Pastor Adeboye went on a street protest with his church members during GEJ tenure?

Dont mind these people with selective amnesia. Zero knowledge of even recent history

Tenses:
Story

Did he give GEJ that ultimatum before he hit the street with his congregation.

Pastor Adeboye never hit the streets during GEJ. Thats a lie.

He led only one protest in 2020 during the Buharis time.

Wonder2501:
Genuine question.

Nigeria has some of the most
talented fashion designers in the world.

The diaspora has millions of
Nigerians who desperately want
authentic outfits for owambe,
weddings, prom, burials.

The money is there.
The talent is there.
The demand is there.

But somehow in 2026 the best
solution people have found is
still Instagram DMs and prayers. 😅

Why has nobody solved this properly?

What is the biggest thing
stopping this from working?

What country are you in? There are many fashion solutions overseas,but home based will always be superior.

Fake mad man? Ametokun, when will you arrest the actual kidnappers? Couldn't you have let the mad man lead you to them? When will you act on all the atrocities being committed in Oyo State. They beheaded a whole human being fa!
If only that great man Akeredolu was still alive!

viralmoney25:
I’ve been trying to find Nigerians abroad for work, interviewing them and asking how they relocated. One thing I’ve noticed during my search is how everybody is now a “Japa coach”.

Everywhere you turn now, somebody is selling a relocation masterclass, consultation, CV package, visa mentorship, Telegram group, “secret route”, etc.
And maybe it’s just me, but some of the prices are insane 😭

Like, I understand people monetising knowledge, but sometimes it feels like they are taking advantage of how desperate and confused a lot of Nigerians are right now, especially because half the time the information is already publicly available or came from another random person’s Twitter thread.
I even saw somebody charging for “hidden European countries Nigerians don’t know about” 😭 what's that about?

It just made me realise how deeply capitalistic and exploitative Nigerians can be, especially when we're in a seemingly better situation than before; we barely hear enough from normal people who actually relocated successfully without all this packaging around it.
