A whooping 200 million,na wa o...This is the result of always paying ransom and decieving us that they were rescued...It has now turned lucrative to these kidnappers.Something wey suppose be shoot at sight to any kidnapper....[quote author= post=140166321]Kidnappers, who abducted Justice Faruku Hassan Bunza of the Kebbi State High Court, have demanded a N200 million ransom for his release, as security agencies intensify efforts to rescue the judge.

The latest development was disclosed on Monday by the Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, CP Umar Muhammad Hadejia, while briefing journalists in Birnin Kebbi on the ongoing rescue operation.

According to the police commissioner, intelligence available to the command indicated that the abductors contacted the judge’s family and demanded N200 million before releasing him.

Hadejia also revealed that the kidnappers reached out to a registrar of the High Court in Abuja as part of efforts to negotiate the ransom.

He said the command had deployed tactical and intelligence operatives, alongside other security personnel, to comb forests and suspected escape routes believed to have been used by the kidnappers.

The commissioner added that security had been reinforced through the establishment of checkpoints and intensified surveillance across strategic locations to prevent the abductors from moving the victim.

He expressed confidence that the ongoing operation would lead to the judge’s safe rescue and the arrest of those behind the abduction.

Hadejia urged residents to remain vigilant and support security agencies with credible information that could aid the rescue operation, assuring the public that the command remained committed to securing Justice Bunza’s freedom and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The police commissioner also advised residents, particularly public officials and other prominent individuals, to avoid unnecessary night travel due to prevailing security challenges, noting that such movements often expose travellers to attacks by criminal elements.

Sometimes, the biggest lesson from a scandal isn't about the accused—it's about the people who refuse to believe the evidence.

Last September, a pastor made headlines after he was accused of having sexual relationships with teenagers. The allegations sparked outrage, his church was shut down, and he was later released from custody.

While many people distanced themselves, a number of loyal members stood firmly by him. They defended him, insisted he was innocent, and even relocated the church to a new location so his ministry could continue.

Fast forward to yesterday.

Reports now claim that the same pastor was caught having sexual relations with the daughter of one of the members who had defended him and remained loyal throughout the controversy.

Ogs what about the controversial 1991 appointment in which Solarin agreed to chair the Peoples Bank of Nigeria after years of fiercely criticizing IBB's government =alasane post=140011248]

That would be historically false and insulting.
Tai Solarin was one of the few who never bent the knee.
He died poor, principled, and defiant.[/quote]

With my little idea wey I get for maths...Let's say 72

E don tay na..U forget to write the late Tai Solarin....Still doff my hat for the late Gani Fawwhinmi and late Fela Kuti , lots of respect to Femi Falana though..

Spot on...I keep sayint this...The government is weaponising poverty.....One day sha na one day....I rest my case.

The debate about Senator Oluremi Tinubu's comments on akara, agbado and kuli-kuli has divided many Nigerians. Some have defended her statement, saying there is dignity in labour and that many successful people started from humble beginnings. On that point, they are right.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with selling akara, roasting corn, making kuli-kuli, or engaging in any honest business. Millions of Nigerians have raised families, trained children through school, and built successful lives through small businesses. Honest work deserves respect.

But that is not why many Nigerians are angry.

The real issue is that Nigerians are tired of being told to manage hardship while those in power continue to live comfortably.

When a government is performing well, citizens are discussing opportunities, innovation, jobs, infrastructure, healthcare and education. When people are struggling to survive, every statement about poverty naturally becomes controversial.

Yes, ₦50,000 may help some petty traders. It may help a woman already selling food or a market trader who only needs a little support to restock goods. That is true.

But we must also ask an honest question: what about the millions of Nigerians already drowning in debt, unable to feed their families, struggling with rent, transport costs, school fees and rising food prices?

If someone owes ₦150,000, has not eaten properly for days, and is struggling to survive, how far can ₦50,000 really go?

The problem is not the grant itself. The problem is presenting survival as economic progress.

Nigerians do not want handouts forever. Nigerians want an economy that works.

They want stable electricity so businesses can grow.

They want affordable food.

They want security so farmers can return to their farms.

They want jobs that pay decent wages.

They want access to credit with reasonable terms.

They want a country where young people can dream beyond daily survival.

Recent reports also show that political activities continue across the country while many citizens are battling economic hardship and insecurity. At the same time, schoolchildren abducted in Oyo State remain a source of concern for many Nigerians, with families still hoping for their safe return.

This is why many people reacted strongly to the akara conversation. It was never really about akara.

It was about frustration.

It was about a growing feeling that ordinary Nigerians are being asked to endure more sacrifices while receiving less hope in return.

Nobody is saying small businesses are bad.

Nobody is saying people should be ashamed of humble beginnings.


What Nigerians are saying is simple:

Stop weaponising poverty.

Stop making hardship look normal.

Stop treating survival as success.

Build an economy where people sell akara because they choose to, not because they have no other option.

A nation cannot continue to measure progress by how creatively its citizens cope with suffering.

The true measure of progress is how many people no longer have to struggle just to survive.

That is the conversation Nigeria should be having.

Nigerians deserve more than survival. They deserve a government that creates opportunities, protects lives, grows businesses, and restores hope. Until then, conversations about akara, agbado and kuli-kuli will continue to remind us of a much bigger problem.

There was panic in Borno community as Boko Haram terrorists abducted 13 travellers, including a seven-month-old baby along the Biu–Damaturu highway through the Kamuya axis of the state.


[i]The victims were taken away to an unknown destination when terrorists intercepted two Golf Wagon vehicles conveying passengers along the road.[/i]

Families of the kidnapped victims have now made a passionate appeal to the Federal Government, Borno State Government, security agencies and other relevant authorities to intensify efforts towards rescuing their loved ones and reuniting them with their families.


They made the appeal in a statement, lamenting that relatives of the victims have remained in deep pain, fear and uncertainty since the incident, with little or no information about the whereabouts or condition of those abducted.

“The families are calling on government authorities, security agencies, humanitarian organisations and all relevant stakeholders to urgently intervene and ensure the safe rescue of the abducted travellers,” the statement said.

Majeed Dahiru, a technical member of the Lux Terra Leadership Foundation, has issued a stark warning regarding the evolving security landscape in Nigeria.
Appearing on Channels Television on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, he raised the alarm over a potential "mass invasion" of the Southwest if the current trend of insurgency remains unchecked.

Dahiru noted that the nation is witnessing a dangerous convergence of criminal elements in the North-Central and North-West regions. This "fusion," he explained, combines the brutal tactics of traditional banditry with the ideological drive of jihadi terrorism.

He warned that this hybrid threat is no longer a localized issue but a looming national catastrophe, emphasized more that the Southwest is particularly vulnerable to this expanding front of violence.

“The Southwest is under imminent danger of a mass invasion by terrorists. The kind of terrorism we are seeing now is a fusion of jihadi terrorism and people that are known as bandits,” Dahiru stated.

He further argued that this convergence is part of a larger, more ambitious plan by criminal groups. Beyond kidnappings and raids, Dahiru suggested that these "terrorist-bandits" may eventually transition into a phase where they openly vie for control of the Nigerian state.

According to him, these groups aim to seize land and resources while eventually seeking a form of international legitimacy. He cautioned that the country is steadily "inching towards" a state of destabilization that could threaten the sovereign integrity of Nigeria.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Dahiru criticized the response of the country's political leadership. He compared their perceived lack of urgency to that of individuals oblivious to an impending disaster.

“Our political class, they seem to be behaving like drunken sailors inside of a sinking ship,” Dahiru added during the broadcast.

https://lekkibizchronicle.com/2026/05/05/nnpc-seals-deal-with-chinese-firms-to-fix-refineries-after-2-4bn-spent-2/
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with two Chinese firms to rehabilitate two government-owned refineries that have consumed over $2.4 billion in public funds while delivering little refined fuel output.

The agreement marks a significant shift in Nigeria’s approach to its troubled refinery sector, signaling a growing openness to Chinese industrial capital as the government seeks to convert idle, underperforming assets into functional infrastructure.

Nigeria’s refineries have long been a source of national frustration. Despite being Africa’s largest crude oil producer, the country has relied heavily on imported refined petroleum products for decades, straining foreign exchange reserves and fueling subsidy expenditure.

Previous rehabilitation attempts costing $2.4 billion yielded little measurable improvement, drawing sharp criticism from lawmakers and energy analysts who questioned the transparency and effectiveness of the spending.

Industry observers have described the latest deal as a pragmatic step, noting that Chinese firms have demonstrated strong execution capacity in large-scale industrial projects across Africa. However, analysts have urged clear contractual terms and performance benchmarks to ensure the agreement delivers tangible results.

If successfully executed, the revival of the two refineries could significantly boost Nigeria’s domestic fuel production, reduce import dependence, and create downstream economic opportunities including jobs and local supply chain development.

NNPC is yet to release a full project timeline, but the MoU signing is widely seen as a decisive first step toward addressing one of the most expensive challenges in Nigeria’s energy history.
