At 69yrs... ... Sae u wan dae behave lie children from 0yrs to 68yrs .it's a free world |
Land grabbing but the owners of the land dont want to develop it. When a land has been underdeveloped for 10-15yrs the government can collet that land and resell to another . A land mot used for farming or commercial activities, just open and vast abd green snd has been there for years. No development No structure No plan Just empty and void. If am in wikes shoes i will do worse ..i will revoke all land that hasn't been developed in the fct by private individuals for over the past 10yrs down and revoke it. Resell it to people and give an untanium of 5yrs to start development or risk land revoked and transferred to another. |

The best there was and there is 4 premier league in a row Set the bar so high that you need to be consistent to win the league cup. Master tactician and strategist Converts average players to play one of the beautiful football ever seen in premier league The best manager there ever was in premier league. Pep *Why Pep edges Fergie in the first 10 years* Look at it straight up: *20 trophies in 10 years vs 6*. That’s not a small gap. *1. He won more, and he won bigger* Pep’s haul at City from 2016-2026: *6 Premier Leagues, 1 Champions League, 5 League Cups, 3 FA Cups, 3 Community Shields, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 Club World Cup*. That’s 4 titles in a row from 2021-2024 – no English club has ever done that. 100 points, 98 points, 93 points seasons. He didn’t just win, he broke the ceiling of what winning looks like in the PL. Fergie in his first 10 years at United 1986-1996: *3 PLs, 1 FA Cup, 1 League Cup, 1 Cup Winners’ Cup*. Respect to the rebuild, but the output isn’t close. *2. He did it in a tougher league* Pep’s City had to beat peak Klopp Liverpool, this Arsenal team, and a Chelsea side spending crazy money just to get to May with the title. Every game in the PL now is a fight. Fergie’s early dominance came before the money flooded in and before every mid-table team had a tactical coach and data team. *3. He changed the game, not just his club* Go to any academy or watch any PL game now and you’ll see Pep’s fingerprints. Inverted fullbacks, controlled possession, pressing traps, false nines. Managers across Europe copied him because it worked. Fergie was a master man-manager and could adapt, but he didn’t set the tactical blueprint for the next 20 years. *4. He delivered in Europe when it mattered* City’s first ever Champions League in 2023, plus 6 straight semis in 10 years. The UCL now is a minefield – every knockout tie is against another billion-pound squad. Fergie didn’t even get to a UCL final in his first 10 years. *5. He kept it going without falling off* Pep rebuilt that City squad 3 times. KDB aging, Aguero leaving, Cancelo drama, still they win. The system outlives the players. Fergie’s first 10 years was about building the culture. Once it was built, the trophies came in waves. Pep had the waves immediately. --- Fergie built United from the ground up and that deserves respect. But if we’re talking pure results, dominance, and impact on the game in the first 10 years, *Pep’s numbers and influence are on another level*. 20 trophies. 4 in a row. Changed how football is played. That’s the argument. |

Reform reform But who is feeling the heat. Hmmmi My brother, talk truth. Some of Tinubu policies resemble 2014 Confab ideas, but the way dem implemented them is the problem. Too sudden, too harsh na why people call am demonic. Petrol from ₦185 to ₦1,400. Transport triple. Naira crash from ₦460 to ₦1,360+. Everything expensive. Food prices still dey choke families. Many dey manage one meal a day. World Bank: Poverty up from 56% to 63%. Over 140 million poorer. Government refineries still not working well. State police still on paper. Everybody market women, teachers, okada riders dey suffer. Dem remove subsidy and float naira without protecting the poor. No proper cushion, so poverty and hunger don increase. Watin tinubu suppose do be sai he suppose to do Massive agriculture support: cheap fertilizer, seeds, irrigation so food prices go drop fast. Targeted fuel subsidy for buses and farmers only. Big public works to employ youths immediately. Subsidized food markets and school feeding. Cut tax on essential items temporarily. Fix electricity well. True restructuring suppose help people, not turn majority into beggars. When mothers no fit feed their children after 3 years, na failure. International praise no dey fill empty stomach. The suffering dey too much. Government must reduce the pain now. |

Salary… salary… salary. But let’s stop lying to ourselves ₦100,000 in today’s Nigeria is not a salary. It is a slow, quiet way to suffer with dignity. And the worst part? People will still argue with you and say, “manage it well.” Manage what exactly? Let’s strip emotions and face numbers: You wake up every morning already owing life. 🏠 Rent — even in “affordable” areas, when you break it down monthly, you’re spending almost half your income just to have a roof. Not comfort. Just shelter. 🍲 Food — this one is no longer about eating well. It’s now about what you can skip. You start negotiating with hunger: “Should I eat twice today?” “Can I drink garri and sleep?” 🚗 Transport — going to work now costs enough to make you question why you even have the job. 📶 Data — without it, you’re cut off from opportunities, information, even basic communication. But it still takes a chunk out of the same ₦100k. Now tell me… After all this, what is left? Nothing. No savings. No investments. No future plan. Just a cycle: Work → Spend → Survive → Repeat And then life happens… Someone falls sick. Family needs support. Something breaks. That’s when reality hits hard: ₦100k is not just small… it is dangerous. Because it keeps you alive, but never lets you move forward. Now let’s talk about the bigger picture. Since the current administration came in, policies have been introduced that hit directly at the average Nigerian: Fuel subsidy removal — transport costs exploded overnight. Naira instability — prices of goods climbed like they had no ceiling. Electricity tariffs — rising. Food prices — unbearable. Everything increased at once. But salaries? They stayed where they were… or barely moved. So what does that mean in real life? It means: The same work now gives you less value The same effort now buys you less food The same salary now gives you more stress People are not lazy. People are being squeezed. You see it everywhere: Graduates taking any job just to survive. Workers skipping meals to balance bills. Families reducing quality of life quietly. Young people losing hope. And then someone says ₦100k is enough? No. It’s not enough to live. It’s not enough to grow. It’s not enough to dream. It is only enough to endure. This is not just a complaint. This is a question: What kind of country do we want? One where: Hard work still leads to suffering? Full-time workers still live like dependents? Survival becomes the national standard? Because every election is not just about politics. It’s about: your rent your food your future If a system consistently makes life harder for the average person, then the real question is not “can we cope?” The real question is: “How long do we keep accepting it?” Think about it. |
Economy don hit hard now people don't talk about buying cars but to rent or bolt. The effect of bad governance from buhari down to tinubu. Then before buhari and tinubu u could get a car for one million to 3 million clean corolla or honda very fuel economy and effecient now after 12yrs of bad choice and greed from the masses. This cars are sold for 10-12 million. You can't even save for 3yrs to get a car not even 5 because inflation hits hard.. minimum wage is trash to what tax and inflation is doing to our income. Yet people still support this government and APC with its soo good to be true lie reforms. Reformzs are working according to their statistics but the common man is suffering. No job Fuel is high for an oil producing nation House rent is cost Foodstuffs are cost Transport is very expensive Electronics are veey high due to our exchange rate Yet city boy movement is what some idiots chant. Just imagine where we are now comparing rent a car or bolt ![]() |
Lifestone:My brother, nobody is talking about reversing the policies like subsidy removal or floating the naira. The real question is: Why did these policies make life so much harder for the average person? Poverty rate don jump from 56% in 2023 to 63% in 2025 according to World Bank report wey just come out this April. That means around 140 million Nigerians dey poor now millions more people wey enter poverty since Tinubu entered. Petrol wey be ₦185-250 for May 2023 dey sell around ₦1,200-1,400 now. Transport cost triple for most people. Food prices still dey very high even though inflation don drop small from that 40% peak. Rice, beans, garri, everything still cost almost 2-3 times wetin e be before. Naira wey be around ₦460 to $1 for 2023 don dey around ₦1,370+ now. Anything imported just dey cost too much. The minimum wage increase to ₦70k sound good for paper, but with this inflation and high cost of everything, the money no get real power again. Many families wey dey manage before now dey find it hard to feed well. Some dey even cut down to one meal a day. You fit list all the programmes and acronyms NELFUND, SAPZ, Renewed Hope etc. But if the ordinary man for street no fit buy food, pay house rent, or send him children to school without borrowing, then wetin we gain? The policies fit be "necessary" like some people dey claim, but the way them implement am without strong safety net don push plenty people deeper into suffering. So no be about reversing am. Na about asking: After 3 years, why poverty and hunger don increase instead of reduce? Make we no dey deceive ourselves with long list of launched projects. The suffering for ground dey very real. |
abc115:LIES My brother, some of the things on your list are real like NELFUND, the new minimum wage, tax reform, and clearing the forex backlog. Nobody is denying that government launched plenty programmes. But make we talk the real thing wey dey happen for ground. Since Tinubu came in 2023, poverty don jump from 56% to 63% according to World Bank report this April 2026. That means over 140 million Nigerians dey poor now millions more than before. Many people wey dey manage before are now struggling badly. Petrol wey be around ₦185–250 for May 2023 don jump to over ₦1,200–1,400 now. How many people fit carry that one? Transport cost triple for most people. Market women, okada riders, teachers, everybody dey feel am. Food prices still dey pain. Even though food inflation don come down small from the 40% peak, rice, beans, garri, yam, everything still cost 2-3 times what they were in 2023. Plenty families don reduce to one meal per day. Some no dey eat meat or fish again. Hunger don enter many houses. Naira don lose serious value from around ₦460 to one dollar to over ₦1,370 now. Anything wey dem import (food, drugs, spare parts) don become very expensive. That one fuel the inflation. The government refineries (Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna). them still never really work well. Billions spent on rehabilitation but most time them dey shut down. The only big refinery working well na Dangote own (private). So that "refineries activation" claim na just talk. Minimum wage increased to ₦70,000 yes. But with this kind inflation, the money no get power again. Wetin ₦30,000 fit do in 2022, ₦70,000 no fit do am today. Salary don increase but purchasing power don drop badly. Stock market dey boom and government revenue don increase that one na true. But the ordinary man for street no dey feel am. The pain of subsidy removal and naira float hit everybody hard, but the cushion (safety nets) no strong enough. Abeg, listing all the programmes and initiatives no mean say people life don better. When your wife dey cry because she no fit buy food reach, when your children dey miss school because transport too costly, when rent don double all those acronyms no go comfort anybody. If Tinubu supporters wan show say him don do well, make dem show us clear evidence say the average family dey better today than May 2023. Not press release. Not "we launched this". The suffering dey real for most Nigerians right now. Poverty don increase, hunger don increase. Na the truth. |

at last , this town smells like refuse dump. all drainages are blocked and refuse dumed in drainages drainages not flowing , water from the drainage to the road overflowing people urinating anywhere, shitting inside drainage, lagos state is very very dirty and its smelling. tommorow every street and neigbhoorhood should come out and clean their enviroment , they should not take tomorrow as a curfew and everyone indoors and sleep and rest while the aim is defeated |
As what.,...hmmm election tins... So the church is in support of her husband |
Bandit laughing with ak47 and ransome money. Imagine David just delared without fighting his enemies, there won't be anything like Israel. There is a time for prayers and a time for gun confrontation. The only language this banditsd terrorist know is the song of the gun. |
If this man should win second tenure, just ensure you buy an AK 47 because terrorism will be bloody and no onwll be safe |
Our eye glasses are checked 🤣🤣 |
merrymike47:Sim wae don expensive to register a new sim is over 2k Then secondly if na your main line you can't jusy switch to another sim due to the fact that people who have your number won't be able to reach you. Infact you will loose contacts, important contacts |
So they commissioned a non functioning and non tested project. So when they win they will be budget for rehabilitation and maintenance of our gas project just like our refinery |
Over 12yrs now they're nearly completing it.. Another campaign strategy for apc |
Blame game. Bandit in niger Bandit in benue Bandit in kogi Bandit in kaduna Bandit in jos Bandit in sokoto Bandit in kwara Bandit in Katsina Bandit in kano Bandit in kebbi Bandit in borno Bandit in zamfara Bandit in jigawa Bandit in adamawa Cultism in lagos Cultism in delta Cultism in edo Cultism in portharcout Cultism in calabar Unknown gun men in imo Unknown gun men in abia Unknown gun men in anambra Bokoharam has regrouped and acting strong with coordinated attacks Iswap terrorist Massob terrorist Kidnappers The neighbouring states surrounding the FCT are facing real terrorist attack , calculated attacks. Soldiers are disarmed and barrack raided Igp camps are raded and innocent Nigerians are killed in massses, kidnapped and salughtered. So which one is fake intelligence report. Nigeria is now a high risk zone. If the governor of jos could come inside an armo tank to meet casualties. And tinubu couldn't go to the crime scene in jos to see the impact and after math of this terrorist and islamic radicalist but instead stayed in the airport this should be very concerning for us all. Because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it wont touch your family members nuclear and extended family or your closed firends.. No where is safe in the country. Probably its untill they attempt and successfully attack abuja and bomb some ministries and industry' we will understand how deep this insecurity is. Tinubu has been in lagos since before ramadan, afraid of abuja currently..his SA was using the excuse of he is planning and strategizing on the strength od security in the country We are all sitting ducks awaiting to be slaughtered by terrorist, fulani bandits and kidnappers. |
🔥 MY RAW, NO-HOLDS-BARRED, DEEP-EDUCATIVE TAKE ON 2027 – THE HARD TRUTH: HOW TINUBU’S ADMINISTRATION HAS SCATTERED NIGERIA 🇳🇬 (29 May 2023 – April 2026) Brothers and sisters, read this slowly and carefully 👇 This is not ordinary politics. This is survival mathematics and documented evidence of how one administration, in just 3 years, has pushed Nigeria into the deepest economic and social crisis in our modern history. The country has been scattered 💥 middle class destroyed, families broken, future mortgaged. Here is the clear, dated, factual record: 1. Poverty Explosion – Middle Class Completely Wiped Out 😭 2019: Poverty ~40% (~81 million) May 2023 (Tinubu takeover): ~56% 2025: 63% (~140 million) Projected 2026 (World Bank & PwC): 62% — 141 million Nigerians in poverty 🚨 +60 million more poor Nigerians in just 3 years! Minimum wage still ₦70,000 while real purchasing power has collapsed. GL 16 Deputy Directors net under ₦410k and are begging for ₦154,000. The middle class that used to live decently has been economically liquidated 💀. 2. Fuel Price Shock – The Policy That Scattered Households 💣 29 May 2023 (Inauguration day): “Subsidy is gone” → Petrol jumped from ₦185 to ₦540+ instantly. April 2026: ₦1,200–1,400 per litre 🔥 500–600% increase in energy cost! Transport, food, and business destroyed. Families now eat once a day. No government in history has hit citizens this hard, this fast. 3. Debt Explosion – Nigeria Now Borrowing to Pay Old Debts 📉 May 2023 (takeover): ~₦87 trillion Sept 2025: ₦153.29 trillion (DMO) Tinubu added over ₦66 trillion debt in under 3 years — fastest ever! 2026 Budget: Total spending: ₦68.32 trillion New borrowing: ₦29.2 trillion Debt service alone: ₦15.81 trillion (almost half of revenue) 😱 We are deep in a debt trap. 4. Trillions Spent on Elite Projects & Bailouts 💰 Power Sector: April 2026 Fresh ₦3.3 trillion bailout approved (Punch, Premium Times) — yet light still no show ⚡ Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: ₦15 trillion+ awarded without open bidding to associate’s company 🛣️ Aso Rock Villa Renovation: ₦40.6 billion in 2024 alone + tens of billions more — while citizens buy expensive fuel for generators 😡 Trillions spent, but relief never reaches the people. 5. Democracy Under Attack ⚠️ 18 February 2026 — Electoral Act Amendment signed in just ONE DAY. Electronic transmission of results now optional — widely seen as preparation for 2027 manipulation. 6. Security Still Terrible 🔫 Banditry, mass kidnappings, and insecurity continue. Farms abandoned, food prices high, ransom economy booming. The Big Picture: How Deeply Nigeria Has Been Scattered 💥 In just 3 years: 141 million Nigerians in poverty ₦66+ trillion added to debt ₦68+ trillion budgeted with massive borrowing Fuel prices up 500–600% Middle class erased Electoral system weakened The reforms were necessary, but the execution has been extremely harsh on the poor, overly kind to elites, reckless with borrowing, and very slow on relief. What A Second Term Will Bring – Even Bigger Disaster 🚨 Poverty locked at 60%+ Debt crossing ₦190–200 trillion More harsh taxes and tariffs More elite projects and bailouts Weaker elections Continued suffering for the masses This is renewed suffering and scattered hope, not Renewed Hope. Nigeria cannot survive another 4 years of this destruction! Wake up, Nigeria! 👀 Vote with your empty stomach, your dark house, your struggling salary, your children’s future, and your pain. Tinubu must not get a second term in 2027. ❌ The hardship has lasted too long. The scattering has gone too deep. Four more years will finish the country. Share this truth 🔥 Discuss the numbers. Think with your head and your pocket — not tribe or emotion. This is about the survival of Nigeria! 🇳🇬 #NoToSecondTerm #WakeUpNigeria #NigeriaDeservesBetter |
*Brothers and Sisters, This is the Hard Truth About the Insecurity Facing Nigeria Today* The reason history was removed from Nigeria curriculum is because of this hard facts Let me tell you a straight story that every Nigerian needs to understand. This is not politics or rumours these are documented facts about our history and the painful reality we face in 2026. Many Christian communities in the Middle Belt are suffering repeated attacks, while Muslim communities in the northwest are also dying in large numbers from banditry and other violence. The whole country feels unsafe. *The Old Jihad That Changed the North* In 1804, Usman dan Fodio, a Fulani scholar, launched a jihad (holy war). His forces conquered most *Hausa kingdoms* — *Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Zaria, Bauchi and others.* They established the Sokoto Caliphate and installed Fulani Emirs as rulers. These emirs and their influence remain strong in many northern states today. The jihad later reached areas like Bida (Nupe) in Niger State, Ilorin in Kwara, and Adamawa. But several groups resisted and preserved their independence: - The Tiv people in Benue defeated Fulani invaders in 1806 at the Battle of Abinste using their knowledge of the land and never came under full control. - The Igala Kingdom in Kogi stopped the advance at Koton Karfe through strong warrior resistance. - In the Bornu area (Borno), Muhammad al-Kanemi pushed back the Fulani and kept the ancient empire independent. - Highland communities on the Plateau and the Jukun in Taraba also mounted strong local resistance. These resisting groups kept their land and traditions. Many of these areas, especially in the Middle Belt, now have large Christian populations. *Today in 2026: History Is Repeating Itself with Recent Killings (January to Easter 2026)* The same regions that resisted long ago — *Benue, Plateau, Taraba, parts of Kogi* , continue to face heavy raids by armed groups, including herder militias, bandits and jihadists. Here are some documented attacks from January to early April 2026 (around Easter): - Early January 2026: Multiple incidents, including killings in Plateau and other areas, with reports of dozens dead in the first days of the year. - January 18, 2026: Nearly 175 Christians abducted from three churches in Kaduna State during worship. At least 35 Christians killed in related attacks across Kaduna, Plateau, Benue and Taraba. - February 2026 (first 20 days): At least 323 people killed across Benue, Katsina, Kwara, Kebbi, Niger and Zamfara states, according to Amnesty International. In Zamfara, gunmen on motorcycles killed at least 50 in one village attack in February, with many women and children abducted. - March 2026: Suspected Fulani herdsmen killed farmers in Benue communities. Coordinated ISWAP and Boko Haram attacks hit military bases in Borno and Yobe (including Kukawa, Konduga, Mainok, Jakana, Marte and Gujba), killing officers and soldiers, including a Lieutenant Colonel. - March 29, 2026 (Palm Sunday): Gunmen killed at least 27–30 people (some reports say up to 40) in Angwan Rukuba, a predominantly Christian area in Jos North, Plateau State. Attacks also hit Kaduna areas, with 13 killed at a wedding gathering in Kahir village and churches targeted. - Early April 2026 (Easter period, around April 5): In Benue (including Mbalom in Gwer East), at least 17 Christians killed, with many missing and homes burned. Two churches attacked in Kaduna. In Borno, a church was reportedly burned. President Tinubu condemned the attacks in Plateau and Kaduna. These add to a broader pattern. Open Doors World Watch List 2026 noted that Nigeria accounted for *3,490 Christians killed for their faith in the previous reporting period* (about 72% of the global total), with Middle Belt attacks continuing into 2026. Broader reports indicate thousands more deaths nationwide from January to April 2026 across various states. *Boko Haram and ISWAP Have Regrouped Strongly* Jihadist groups intensified operations in the northeast. In March 2026, ISWAP and Boko Haram launched multiple coordinated attacks on military bases in Borno and Yobe, killing senior officers and soldiers while seizing weapons. These assaults showed improved tactics. *Muslim Communities Are Also Suffering Greatly* This violence does not spare *Muslims.* In the northwest (*Zamfara, Sokoto, Kaduna, Katsina, Niger*), bandits have killed thousands of Muslim farmers and villagers through raids, market attacks and abductions. In the northeast, Boko Haram and ISWAP also target Muslim civilians. The suffering cuts across religious lines driven by weak governance, arms proliferation and resource conflicts. In April 2026, bandit abductions continued in Zamfara. *The Named Sponsors and Why the Government Stays Quiet* In 2021, the United Arab Emirates convicted and sentenced six Nigerians for funding Boko Haram. They transferred about $782,000 from Dubai to the group. The US Treasury sanctioned them in 2022, and Nigeria added them to its sanctions list in November 2022. The names are: - Abdurrahman Ado Musa (also known as Abdurrahaman Ado Musa) - Salihu Yusuf Adamu - Bashir Ali Yusuf - Muhammed Ibrahim Isa - Ibrahim Ali Alhassan - Surajo Abubakar Muhammad Two received life imprisonment; the others got 10 years plus deportation. There is no public record of them holding any current official government positions in Nigeria as of 2026 , they were private individuals with reported business or network ties. Many Nigerians ask why the government does not speak openly or act more forcefully on these names and external funding links. Critics point to political sensitivity: the cases touch northern networks, and authorities often describe the violence as simple *“farmer-herder clashes”* or *“banditry”* rather than admitting *deeper jihadist* or *sponsored elements.* *Sheikh Ahmad Gumi,* a prominent cleric, has repeatedly called bandits “victims of injustice” and pushed for amnesty, rehabilitation and dialogue (like the Niger Delta approach) instead of pure military force. Government rehabilitation programmes for some defectors exist, but many see this as weak and allowing attacks to continue. *The Depth of Insecurity: No One Can Sleep or Travel Safely* Daily life for millions is now marked by fear: - Major roads are dangerous, especially at night ,bandits and kidnappers strike freely in Zamfara, Kaduna, Sokoto, Niger and beyond. - In Benue, Plateau and Taraba, families lock doors early and remain on alert. Gunshots and raids are too common. - Over 3 million Nigerians are internally displaced, living as refugees in their own country, with farms abandoned and hunger rising. - Trauma, loss and hopelessness have driven up suicides and mental health crises. Even southern states now see spillover kidnappings. In April 2026, attacks continued across multiple states. *The Fate of Ordinary Nigerians* This is the reality we face: We cannot sleep peacefully in many communities. We cannot travel safely to visit family or do business. Farms lie idle, children miss school, and parents live in constant worry. Descendants of those who resisted the old jihad are defending their homes again but the cost in blood is very high. Christian farming communities in the Middle Belt bear a heavy burden, with many describing the pattern as targeted persecution. Muslim communities in the northwest suffer massively from banditry. Ghana and Guinea have sometimes used stronger measures against disruptive herder activities. Here, years of dialogue and selective amnesty have not ended the cycle. The urgent message for all of us ,especially in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Kogi, Zamfara, the northeast and northwest is to demand genuine security, justice for victims of all faiths, disarmament, and fair land policies. We must protect our communities while pushing leaders for real solutions without fear or favour. We are one nation, but fear and division are growing. Share this so more people see the depth of the crisis. Pray for peace, speak the truth, and work for change. God help Nigeria. *(Facts drawn from reports by Amnesty International, Open Doors World Watch List 2026, Reuters, Vanguard, Morning Star News, BBC, Al Jazeera, ThisDay, Guardian, and other documented sources covering attacks up to early April 2026.

In the northeast, Boko Haram and ISWAP also target Muslim civilians. The suffering cuts across religious lines driven by weak governance, arms proliferation and resource conflicts. In April 2026, bandit abductions continued in Zamfara. *The Named Sponsors and Why the Government Stays Quiet* In 2021, the United Arab Emirates convicted and sentenced six Nigerians for funding Boko Haram. They transferred about $782,000 from Dubai to the group. The US Treasury sanctioned them in 2022, and Nigeria added them to its sanctions list in November 2022. The names are: - Abdurrahman Ado Musa (also known as Abdurrahaman Ado Musa) - Salihu Yusuf Adamu - Bashir Ali Yusuf - Muhammed Ibrahim Isa - Ibrahim Ali Alhassan - Surajo Abubakar Muhammad Two received life imprisonment; the others got 10 years plus deportation. There is no public record of them holding any current official government positions in Nigeria as of 2026 , they were private individuals with reported business or network ties. Many Nigerians ask why the government does not speak openly or act more forcefully on these names and external funding links. Critics point to political sensitivity: the cases touch northern networks, and authorities often describe the violence as simple *“farmer-herder clashes”* or *“banditry”* rather than admitting *deeper jihadist* or *sponsored elements.* *Sheikh Ahmad Gumi,* a prominent cleric, has repeatedly called bandits “victims of injustice” and pushed for amnesty, rehabilitation and dialogue (like the Niger Delta approach) instead of pure military force. Government rehabilitation programmes for some defectors exist, but many see this as weak and allowing attacks to continue. *The Depth of Insecurity: No One Can Sleep or Travel Safely* Daily life for millions is now marked by fear: - Major roads are dangerous, especially at night ,bandits and kidnappers strike freely in Zamfara, Kaduna, Sokoto, Niger and beyond. - In Benue, Plateau and Taraba, families lock doors early and remain on alert. Gunshots and raids are too common. - Over 3 million Nigerians are internally displaced, living as refugees in their own country, with farms abandoned and hunger rising. - Trauma, loss and hopelessness have driven up suicides and mental health crises. Even southern states now see spillover kidnappings. In April 2026, attacks continued across multiple states. *The Fate of Ordinary Nigerians* This is the reality we face: We cannot sleep peacefully in many communities. We cannot travel safely to visit family or do business. Farms lie idle, children miss school, and parents live in constant worry. Descendants of those who resisted the old jihad are defending their homes again but the cost in blood is very high. Christian farming communities in the Middle Belt bear a heavy burden, with many describing the pattern as targeted persecution. Muslim communities in the northwest suffer massively from banditry. Ghana and Guinea have sometimes used stronger measures against disruptive herder activities. Here, years of dialogue and selective amnesty have not ended the cycle. The urgent message for all of us ,especially in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Kogi, Zamfara, the northeast and northwest is to demand genuine security, justice for victims of all faiths, disarmament, and fair land policies. We must protect our communities while pushing leaders for real solutions without fear or favour. We are one nation, but fear and division are growing. Share this so more people see the depth of the crisis. Pray for peace, speak the truth, and work for change. God help Nigeria. *(Facts drawn from reports by Amnesty International, Open Doors World Watch List 2026, Reuters, Vanguard, Morning Star News, BBC, Al Jazeera, ThisDay, Guardian, and other documented sources covering attacks up to early April 2026.
