Who would have thought that Almighty Canada is still a property of England. A mere colony of Britain. Will they not be better as a State in USA?

chopnaira:
That's US politics. US politics differ by alot from Canadian politics.

As being shared on social media platforms. An X user deletes tweet that received unfavorable reply.

Grok uses data that are backed-up by concrete evidence and historical facts.

You cannot deceive this AI and it can also be brutal with his Response.

It's still learning from the lies been fed to it on that platform.

So far from is only 50% or so accurate, can't be trusted

SWATMan:
Exactly my point. AI does not create content but rather scan for results from the info superhighway to access already written topics and deliver same to the questionnaire. If the narrative written overtime is wrong, then your guess is as good as mine. Most of the answers we saw up there were the same contents we read overtime, so nothing new.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested an automobile spare parts dealer, Levi Ubodoeze, for attempting to export two kilograms of cocaine concealed in vehicle propellers to Angola.

In a statement on Sunday, NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi said operatives launched a three-week manhunt for Mr Ubodoeze before his arrest.

“Following the seizure of the cocaine consignment at a logistics company in Aspanda, Trade Fair Complex, Ojo, Lagos, on 21st February 2025, swift contacts were made with Angolan authorities, leading to the arrest of the intended recipient. This, in turn, helped identify the sender,” Mr Babafemi stated.

NDLEA operatives tracked Mr Ubodoeze to his residence on Ago Palace Way, Isolo, Lagos, on 6th March, where he was intercepted in a KIA Sport Utility Vehicle while attempting to flee.

A search of the vehicle uncovered 75.5 kilograms of phenacetin—commonly used as a cutting agent for cocaine—packaged and branded as semolina. A digital scale for weighing illicit drugs was also recovered from his house.

Mr Ubodoeze reportedly admitted to dealing in cocaine while operating as a spare parts dealer at Ladipo Market, Mushin, Lagos. He told NDLEA officials that his Angolan contact alerted him upon being arrested, prompting his attempted escape.

NDLEA seizes cannabis candies, arrests suspects
Meanwhile, NDLEA operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, intercepted a shipment of cannabis-laced candies imported from the United Kingdom and destined for sale at a Kiddie’s Mart in Surulere, Lagos.

After forensic analysis confirmed the presence of a potent cannabis strain, a consolidated cargo shipment that arrived via Allied Airways on 27 February was seized. Adedamola Taylor, the intended recipient, was arrested on 4th March after the earlier arrest of a freight agent.

Mr Taylor claimed the consignment was sent by his UK-based brother, Babatunde Alabi, for delivery to Musurat Lawal, who runs the Surulere store. A follow-up operation at the shop led to Ms Lawal’s arrest.

More drug busts across Nigeria
In separate operations, NDLEA officers arrested two suspects, China Michael and Igbo Ekene, on 7th March at Shibiri, Ojo, Lagos. Their commercial truck was found carrying 248 compressed blocks of Ghanaian Loud, a strain of cannabis weighing 128 kilograms and concealed in the vehicle’s undercarriage.

On the same day, three suspects, Osinachi Nwachukwu, Tochukwu Okafor Christian, and John Ugochukwu Mbakwe, were apprehended at Mosalasi Junction, Mushin, with 301,600 pills of tramadol and other opioids.

In Kano, 65-year-old Yahaya Haruna was arrested on 6th March with 19.2 kilograms of skunk along Gadar Tamburawa Road, while 60-year-old Musa Bello, also known as Jajere, was caught with 212 bottles of codeine-based syrup in Medile, Kumbotso Local Government Area.

A major raid in Aba, Abia State, on 4th March led to the seizure of 442,594 tramadol pills, other opioids, and 1,274 bottles of codeine syrup from the house and warehouse of 37-year-old suspect Blessing Okoronkwo.

In Benue, NDLEA operatives intercepted 50,000 pills of tramadol and Excel-5 from two suspects, Nwaeze Onyeabor, 47, and Tombo Thomas, 23, at Ugbema Junction, Katsina-Ala, on 5 March.

In Osun, a suspect, Asimiyu Muibi, 50, was arrested on 4 March with 162 kilograms of skunk in Modakeke, Ife East, while another 95 kilograms of the same substance were recovered from a Toyota Camry marked KSF 72 GW during a raid in Ede.

Cannabis farm destroyed in Edo
On 5 March, NDLEA operatives raided Amahor Community Forest in Igueben, Edo State, arresting 55-year-old Etim Esien Stephen. The officers destroyed 9,514.625 kilograms of skunk cultivated on 3.8 hectares of farmland.

Nationwide anti-drug campaigns
NDLEA chairperson and chief executive officer Mohamed Marwa commended officers in Lagos, Kano, Abia, Benue, Osun, and Edo for their recent successes.

Mr Marwa, a retired brigadier general, emphasised the agency’s commitment to reducing drug supply and demand in Nigeria.

A continuing process
This is not the first time NDLEA has dismantled drug syndicates. This newspaper had reported that the agency arrested 59-year-old Chijioke Igbokwe for ingesting 81 pellets of cocaine at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.

Mr Babafemi revealed that Mr Igbokwe underwent an exploratory laparotomy to remove 57 pellets of cocaine stuck in his stomach after seven days of ingestion in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The suspect, who ran a clothing business in Lagos, had travelled to Addis Ababa on 22 January, where he ingested the drugs before attempting to deliver them in Beirut, Lebanon, for $3,000. Lebanese authorities denied him entry because of insufficient funds, forcing him to return to Nigeria.

My young cousin sister just told me she got a visa to travel to Cairo and ‘work’ but I don’t trust this ‘work’ narrative.

The impression I have of these Arab cities ( Cairo, Dubai, etc) is that African girls are trafficked there to go and prostitute for their traffickers.

But people who have information about what happens in Cairo can tell me.

Do Nigerians genuinely work in Cairo or is my little cousin about to be a victim of traffickers?

In Yorùbá spirituality, Òṣóòsì, the Orìṣà of hunting, precision, and justice, holds a profound place as a guide for those seeking clarity, purpose, and alignment in their lives. Known as a master tracker and a guardian of the wilderness, Òṣóòsì’s essence extends beyond the physical hunt, serving as a metaphorical compass for setting and achieving intentions. His attributes offer a framework for focus, balance, and determination in navigating life’s complexities.

The Symbolism of Òṣóòsì
Òṣóòsì is depicted as a skilled archer with unmatched precision, representing the ability to identify a target and achieve it with unwavering focus. His tools—especially the bow and arrow—are symbolic of setting clear goals and the discipline required to pursue them. As a hunter, he embodies self-reliance, adaptability, and a deep connection to nature, reminding us of the importance of being attuned to our surroundings and inner selves.

The forest, where Òṣóòsì thrives, represents both mystery and opportunity. It is a space where one must navigate the unknown with courage and strategy, much like the challenges we face when setting and working toward our intentions.

In conclusion, based on the accounts of key plotters like Ademoyega, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, and Gbulie, as well as Olutoye’s testimony, the January 1966 coup was indeed plotted with the intention of releasing Awolowo from prison and making him Nigeria’s leader, likely as Prime Minister or President. Ademoyega and Gbulie explicitly confirm this plan, Nzeogwu’s statements imply it, and Ifeajuna frames it as a primary option, albeit with alternatives. These accounts portray the coup as a revolutionary act driven by admiration for Awolowo’s vision, though its chaotic execution and subsequent interpretations leave room for debate about the plotters’ ultimate priorities.

HERE is the Text of broadcast taken from a tape of the speech by Major Chukuma nzeogwu right after the coup on lover Radio Kaduna on 15 January 1966, starting at about 12.30 P.M.

Nzeogwu broadcast over Radio Kaduna just after noon on
Saturday 15 January.

He spoke in the name of the Supreme Council of the Revolution of the Nigerian Armed Forces, to declare martial law over the Northern provinces of Nigeria.

The constitution is suspended, and the regional government and elected assembly are hereby dissolved [he said].

“ His reason for the coup “ 👉The aim of the Revolutionary Council is to establish a strong, united and prosperous nation free from corruption and internal strife. Our method of achieving this is strictly military, but we have no doubt that every Nigerian will give us maximum cooperation by assisting the regime and not disturbing the peace during the slight changes that are taking place. . ..

As an interim measure, all permanent secretaries, corpora-tion chairmen and similar heads of departments are allowed to make decisions until new organs are functioning, so long as such decisions are not contrary to the aims and wishes of the Supreme Council.

No minister or parliamentary secretary possesses administrative or other forms of control over any ministry, even if they are not considered too dangerous to be arrested.

This is not a time for long speechmaking, so let me acquaint you with the ten proclamations of the extraordinary order of the day which the Supreme Council has promulgated.

These will be modified as the situation improves. You are hereby warned that looting, arson, homosexuality and rape, embezzlement, bribery or corruption, obstruction of the revolution, sabotage, subversion, false alarm and assistance to foreign invaders are all offences punishable by death sentences. Demonstrations, unauthorized assemblies, non-cooperation with the revolutionary troops are punishable in varying manner up to death.

In all of his speech , No where was Awolowo mentioned !!!

This was an Igbo coup !!!
