Residents of the community in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State have fled, leaving homes empty and properties damaged.

Bandits reportedly loyal to notorious kingpin Bello Turji have reported killed the village head of Magarau, its chief Imam, and deserted the entire village.

Residents of the community in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State have fled, leaving homes empty and properties damaged.

A video obtained posted online by security expert Bakatsine shows the condition of the village after the attacks.

The narrator described the house of the late village head, highlighting the impact of the violence on the community.

“I hope the general public can see; this is what is left of the house of the late village head of Magarau, who was killed by armed bandits,” he said.

“This is the centre of the village and you will not find anyone here, not even an animal. They were displaced while many others were killed.”

The video also shows the deserted home of the late chief Imam.

The narrator explained that buildings were destroyed and while several properties were looted.

“Also, as you can see in this video, that is the deserted house of the late chief Imam of Magarau, who was also killed by the bandits. Houses were demolished and food items were carted away. And the entire village is now empty; no one is living there,” he said.

Also seen is the locked and empty home of the local vigilante leader, who was killed.

The narrator said, “Also, the empty house that has been locked is the house of the head of local vigilantes; he was also killed by the bandits.”

The attacks in Magarau follow a series of recent violent incidents attributed to armed groups in other parts of Nigeria.

Nigeria has been experiencing escalating insecurity, particularly in the North Central, Northwest, and Northeast regions.

In Kwara State, gunmen attacked the communities of Woro and Nuku, killing at least 162 people, according to the Red Cross and local authorities, with some estimates putting the toll at around 170.

Homes and shops were set ablaze as residents fled into the surrounding bushland, marking one of the deadliest assaults of the year.

In Kaduna State, 166 worshippers abducted during raids on churches in Kajuru Local Government Area in mid‑January have reportedly been freed, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) confirmed. The kidnappings initially involved about 177 people, with 11 escaping shortly after the attacks.

Benue State has also experienced organised violence, with armed attacks resulting in multiple civilian deaths and severe disruption to rural communities.

"Bandits are killing Muslims too!" So they scream. But when it comes to eradicating those bandits the narrative changes to "this is a fight against Muslims"

When will these hypocrites of a people learn?

It's not enough to claim victim too, you have to show the willingness to fight this 'evil'

The chicken has come home to roost.

Instead of u to think of how you can be the one giving out free food to the less privileged ones, you're waiting to get free food?

May God show u Mercy

Someone expressed the beautiful thing he loves about the spiritual month and you are here castigating him? Is it like what he said is Haram or what? You can't decide for people how to think. That's why every human being is unique.

The same oya soldiers that dehomey women defeated or another one?



How come they lost kwara to fulanis?

Oyo empire actually stopped the advancement of the fulanis. At it's peak, half of West Africa was controlled by the Oyo empire including Dahomey. For many years Dahomey paid tributes to the Oyo Empire. Because America defeated the Brits and got their independence does not erode the accomplishments of the British empire and Great Britain.

The thing about you is that you're a developer that's it. That's where it stops, an employee for others to achieve their dreams and can be replaced easily in the coming years with AI. You basically exist to make tech companies richer. That's why you can't think like a visionary or founder

You don't even know how to setup a simple CPANEL hosting talkless setting up daemons on bare metal machines. Dude, you probably can't even correctly map a domain name to a server.

All these time you spend defending your mediocrity on this forum could be better spent on learning how software architecture works, one week later and that mediocre project is still empty! Even with vibe coding you are unable to implement dummy contents nor a basic auth so users can populate it chai! won't be commenting on this anymore. Clearly you value your ego more than getting ready to learn. You have such a looooong way to go!

davidaluu:
That's what I'm saying. You'd make a great employee for my company, the stubborn ones like you would make me richer 😁 You could even help me grow my net worth in exchange for a salary in the future, who knows? 😉

at this rate, you might never even get to employ yourself mediocrity at it's peak.
by the way it's an honour to work for people, like I said earlier, it validates your prowess and authority within your niche. Even the president is called a public servant.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 so this is your new angle. I made money for my startup working for others proudly. Even your parents worked for other people at a point in their lives. If everyone had their own company, it defeats what an optimal economy should be like.

My! 🤦 I have to teach you economics now? Tell me you won't grab the offer if Dangote asked you to come work as a Dev in his company for 80mil yearly revenue 🤣🤷‍♂️

Sam Altman, Elon, Warren, all these people worked for others at one point in their lives. That's how you sharpen your skills and validate your prowess. That's what make you a senior Dev and not some guy in his mother's crib coding dead forums.

It's a proud thing to work for others, even if you are gonna start your own company.😋😋😋

gistray:
Enlighten me about the real world realities Mr president

🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌

gistray:
Who made you the Developer president?

I haven't said so. But now that you have said it, I think I like it🙂😋😋. Seem like you are another mediocre developer not willing to face real world realities of this industry.

davidaluu:
This is why the next big thing would come out of Africa. You don't even have sense in the startup world if you did, you'd know marketing isn't going to work for this, network effects would. And like I said, take your criticism elsewhere, it's not slop. Show me a product with AI at it's core you've built. You have nothing worthwhile to call another person whether he's a dev or not.

🤣🤣🤣
@seun @mods please this is not self promotion. Just for clarification purposes.

Now go ahead and check my beta software

https://roipad.com

I am already onboarding paid users.

Then if you go to the Resources menu >> Business Trends >> Ideation then you'd see a completely Opensource tool I built and even made it available on github. It uses stack exchange data to validate saas ideas so people like you can stop making dump solutions claiming it to be the next Unicorn from outta Africa.

You need to start watching UK's version of shark tank. You seem like you are not emotionally ready for the Dev world (business aspect) no vex abeg🤣🤣🤣

Hate that word,copied. Tell me something exactly like this that exists. Have you even tried to use it before commenting?And it's an MVP, it's not meant to be serious till there's traction so chill. Next time try to use it before commenting.

Google is your friend. What you are building is dead on arrival. Reddit killed all forums years ago, unless you have 500k in marketing budget, you won't even be able to solve the cold start problem in this era.

Build something meaningful man. I am doing you a huge favour with this harsh criticisms

gistray:
He did develop it and host it.

Even if the app is useless he's indeed a developer

A vibe coder.
He also technically didn't host it.
It takes a lot to be a developer not just throwing words at an AI

davidaluu:
Are you even a technical person? What makes you think you know who is a dev is? And I ask you again, have you even used it? Honestly don't know what's wrong with you, I built that within a weekend sprint so of course it wouldn't be perfect. Stop criticizing something you can't even fathom or even capable to build. This isn't my first AI project so please get off my back. Crazy take from someone I didn't build for or even know

🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣 In 2025, I completed several high profile projects for the Russian military under strict NDAs.

Take the harsh criticism, it's the best way to learn.

If you wanna put your money where your mouth is, let us both do an open Nairaland contest. Nairalanders will be the judge. Just chose a project of your choice and I will gladly participate. If you win, I'll hand you a 500k cheque

It's a foolish MVP, thats not a product at all minimum or not. Throwing prompts foolishly at an AI without clear cut logic doesn't make you a dev

You copied Seun?? Quiet delutional to think he would promote this. Are you new here?

Anyways your project doesn't look serious to me, the domain, the hosting (probably a free hosting), the project itself. You didnt try to add any reasonable feature, colour pallette nor a touch of uniqueness. Everything screams vibe code, a horrible vibe coding process.

Tech world is brutal, I just had to let you see it as it is. Keep learning. You have a long way to go!

What’s this one saying?
When you only read the first 5lines and all you want hear is just the bad news about it.

Oh! This thing I am replying is one of such people. I should have known 🥲

Omo... Is this the same Man U that Amorim said was not good enough?

Incompetent people always find excuses for their failures. They blame everyone but themself.

So it was a direct flight they took when they went to Brazil?
People are just mad! But I want to believe this is a fake news.

Read again. This time more carefully to understand

How to Apply: Drop your WhatsApp number and a link to your portfolio here, or email me at princefaith108@gmail.com Do not contact me if you ask for 100% upfront payment.

Will DM you immediately my signature has my data though

Dorissy:
How much please?

It's a 16gb 10 VCPU core 700mb/s server. 100% uptime.

I think the speed is helping a blog I recently started hosting on it just for fun. Google started indexing and ranking it quickly.
I would prefer a one on one conversation though

Dorissy:

I didn't know it will result to this, my hard work! No access to backup and move to another host. We play too much in this country, if I sue the owner now they will say that I am wicked.

I have a dedicated VPS on a German VPS hosting. I can on-board you for a small yearly fee.

I created this blog in mid december 2025 and instantly added it to google search console without any article (sitemaps and all)
Few days later towards the end of december I started creating articles. But with a catch.

All my articles are hooked with a tool. My niche is business so I mostly created business calculators and hook it up with an article. (Imagine having such metrics for a new site in business niche oo!) my domain name is about two months old.

I have likefive articles and five tools in total. Not even enough for adsense. No off-site SEO (plan to work on it)

Now I know this is not ranking well yet but I am suprised that this milestone can be achieved in less than three weeks with such few contents in a very competitive niche.

I did not intend it to make a money-making blog so honestly I didnt even do any shitty keyword research

Abeg at this rate I think I should collabo with other business bloggers for guest posting and backlinks. I can imagine what this would look like if I took it more seriously.

Media vine requires 50,000 sessions to qualify as a publisher on their adnetwork.

However with Mediavine journey, you only need 10,000 sessions.

I will get you good backlinks, get your DA to at least 34, handle your contents and SEO and ensure that after 90 days you are ready to install the mediavine grow plugin and start your qualification process.

All traffic will be from search engine and newsletters including your own native newsletter.
Package includes complete overhaul of your platform.

Mediavine is currently the holy grail of media advertising way ahead of AdSense and top tier publisher value it as the best partner to monetize contents.

micckdavis:
I'm trying to figure out whether it makes more sense to build a proper MVP app or start with a no-code solution when validating a new idea. I see a lot of mixed opinions on this, and most advice seems very situational.

For those who've actually gone through this decision, how did you weigh factors like development time, cost, flexibility, and long-term scalability? Did starting with no-code help you move faster, or did it create limitations later? On the other hand, was building an MVP from scratch worth the extra effort early on?

Would really like to hear real experiences of what worked, what didn't, and what you'd do differently next time.

Thanks in advance!

Runaway from nocode solutions, especially if you do not plan to build your eventual app on such architecture. forget speed to product fit, an AI will equally help you code your MVP maybe even faster.

Part of building an MVP that will eventually become successful includes understanding what architectural and technical issues you will face on the longrun. No code flows prevents you from seeing all that.

They are very shallow, do not allow for indepth originality, designed to keep you on their platforms paying them, basically ur building what everyone else is building.

I am currently working on a free tool to help people discover new saas ideas based on analyzing real world problems people face. You might be interested. It's completely opensource and you can deploy it on your own platform for free!
