Am glad she is being Exposed

Charity Commission Case: Maureen Badejo Lacks Every Form Of Integrity By Femi Oyewale



There is an old saying that sticks to the head of wise people, and that is, time tells it all and practically reveals the trutH. Just because you knew the actual nature of Dr D.k Olukoya and the MFM ministries that they hardly and seldom speak about press matters, you decided to connive with evil doers, ungrateful ex ministers, workers that were relieved of their duties, and those who left thinking that they have better understanding of running ministries, to propel lies and fabricate nonsense against the church and her General overseer. But like I said, I have made it my primary duty as an investigative journalist to reveal the truth and nothing but the truth.

Last week I brought you the family of D.k Olukoya in a video having a fellowship. This is a family that the deluded Maureen Badejo alleged to have been dissolved, forgetting that there is a place for JOURNALISTIC TRUTH. I bet she doesn’t know what that means.

This week I am here to reveal more of her ignorance, lies, and alleged fabrications, just for you to know the kind of person her sheepish followers are dealing with and I pray she will not lead them to hell or detail them from their place of God’s intervention.

My article for today is based on the true reflection and story of the famous CHARITY COMMISSION CASE, THE 150,000 POUNDS ALLEGATION, AND CLARITY ON THE AMERICAN JUDGMENT MATTER that Maureen Badejo has constantly misled her viewers with.

If you observe carefully, you will realize that MFM is a church of principles and order. During this pandemic, MFM HAS COMPLETELY ADHERED TO THE SAFETY RULES AND REGULATION PUT IN PLACE BY THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. One thing you cannot take away from DKO is OBEDIENCE.


THE TRUE NATURE OF THE CHARITY COMMISSION CASE

FROM OUR INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTS REACHING US, we found out that several times, Dr. Olukoya has warned the Pastors in the UK not to get involved in or accept Gifts, Aids from the government of the United Kingdom.

Gift Aid, by the way, is a sum of money the Government gives back to you when you give to charity.

Dr Olukoya openly describes Gift Aid as earthly reward for giving to charity and has severally expressed his belief that such reward is unscriptural and against Church doctrine.






Unfortunately, the MFM-UK has always been a problematic section of the MFM. Being a disciplinarian, Dr. Olukoya has in the past taken drastic actions against erring workers in the Church and has been dragged to court numerous times by such workers.

HOWEVER, SOME PASTORS WENT BEHIND HIS BACK AND COLLUDED WITH THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR WHOSE NAME MFM SHOPPED FROM THE CHARITY COMMISSION’S WEBSITE WITH RAVE REVIEWS AND THEY TOOK GIFT AID OF ABOUT 1 MILLION POUNDS FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

The people who took the money admitted the fraud and have started paying back.

It took time to find out and report this incident BECAUSE THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR WAS INVOLVED; the matter WAS SUCCESSFULLY SHIELDED FROM TIMELY DISCOVERY, until a few years later. The matter was reported also to the Police.

A simple investigation by Maureen would have shown her THAT THE ALLEGED CULPRITS WERE TWO FORMER PASTORS, AND AN AUDITOR FROM THE CHARITY COMMISION (name withheld and can be produced upon request). These are the CULPRITS OF THE MATTER and not Dr Olukoya who had no hand at all in the matter as alleged by Maureen Badejo. AS A MATTER OF FACT, MFM IS THE VICTIM IN THIS MATTER. It was simply a case of FRAUD AGAINST MFM.

Suffice to say at this point, that Dr. Olukoya has in letters dated 15th and 16 August 2019 written to the Charity Commission to challenge the non-factual nature of the report written about him on their website. The Commission in a terse reply dated August 20th 2019 indicated that it would address that complaint.

It was interesting to know from our findings that Dr. Olukoya does not draw a salary and does not get involved with the financial activities of every branch of MFM. The rapid expansion of MFM in the UK was more of a difficult task to handle initially and this gave the Trustees some ample time to put structures in place quickly enough to ensure stringent control.

Another frivolous allegation thrown out there by the psychologically and mentally disturbed Maureen Badejo was the matter of 150,000 POUNDS ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN COLLECTED BY DR DK OLUKOYA FROM A CERTAIN MFM PASTOR to hide his atrocities.

From our investigation, this is a complete fabrication from the fevered minds of the defamer Maureen Badejo. Fortunately, all the people that took money illegally are still alive. The genesis of this allegation is that there was a lease of one of the branches in London which contained a clause that stipulated that any party who broke the Lease for any reason before its expiration would pay a penalty of 150,000 British Pounds to the other party.


We found out that the owner of the property broke the lease and sold the property to a third party, and the property owners honored their obligation and paid the penalty sum of 150,000 pound which the Pastor of the particular branch somehow used his personal account to claim. And this was unannounced

It was after a period of time that it was brought to the notice of the authorities at the Headquarters that such a transaction had taken place between the property owners and Pastor of the branch, and the headquarters immediately set up a panel to investigate the matter and give fair hearing to the Pastor concerned.

He attended the sitting of the panel and unequivocally admitted the theft. The Panel directed him to refund the money immediately. Upon receipt of the report of the Panel, the General Overseer issued the Pastor an ultimatum in writing to pay back the money within forty-eight (48) hours whereupon he promised to re-mortgage his house in London to comply. It was later brought to the attention of Dr. Olukoya that this ultimatum had not been breached by the Pastor who, on his own, began to repay the money by installments.

From the above narration, it is crystal clear to any unbiased mind that the money was stolen long before the Headquarters and Dr. Olukoya got to hear and that when they did, appropriate internal machineries were promptly put in place to investigate and recover it. And NO MONEY OF ANY KIND WAS PAID INTO DR DK OLUKOYA’S ACCOUNT THROUGH ANY MEANS OR BY ANY ONE. Maureen you and your cohorts need to get your heads examined.


THE AMERICAN MATTER AS MISINTERPRETED BY MARINE MAUREEN

I will quickly throw light on the AMERICAN CASE that has BEEN WON AND FORGOTTEN BY MFM. This ABYSMALLY misinterpreted by our illiterate "blogger" Maureen, TO THE PUBLIC. In our course of investigation after Maureen consistently accused the mountain of fire and miracles ministries of fraudulent acts on the case of pastor Lawrence Adetuniji on the taking over of the Maryland church in the USA, I will quickly want to do a brief summary of the matter.


MFM MINISTRIES filed action against pastor Adetunji who renamed MFM church after his own registered ministry. MFM MINISTRIES PUT IN TEN PRAYERS BEFORE THE JUDGE, INCLUDING ONE OF FRAUD. The Judge answered ALL the prayers but turned down the one we accused THE DEFENDANT of fraud, in order to further protect the personality of the individual involved in the case. But Miss Maureen misread this to mean that mfm is fraudulent. HOW DAFT AND DUNCE CAN SOMEONE'S BRAIN BE!

I would like to stop here today for I have more investigative journalism work to do, to bring the truth to you constantly. Maureen is on her Facebook page begging for funds for court cases meanwhile she doesn’t use their hard earned money for the cases. You can ask her to PROVIDE the names of her representatives whether she has any that make sense.

FRSC: Nigerian Civil Society Commends Buhari, Oyeyemi On Road Safety Strategy, National Traffic Radio

Coalition of Civil Society Organizations for Justice and Equity (CCSO-JE) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari and Federal Road Safety Corps Marshall, Dr. Boboye Olayemi Oyeyemi on the effectiveness of FRSC, sequel to the highly improved welfare of Corps and adequate provision of the operational logistics.

Chief convener of the organization, Comrade Olayemi Success gave the commendation in a press statement in Abuja on Monday, and was made available to National Association of Online Security Reporters, NAOSRE.

Success applauded President Buhari for re- appointing Oyeyemi as the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) two years ago. According to him, it was a square peg in square hole.

He commended the Corps Marshal for the recent great fit of having Nigeria Road Safety Strategy (NRSS), noting that Nigeria is the first Nation in Africa to have such great strategy and when fully implemented, it's a global strategy that will guide everyone to have a safer road, filled lives and a stronger economy.

He said FRSC under Oyeyemi has become very effective in the mandate of the Corps and near zero corruption incidence due to highly improved welfare of the men and women of the Corps and adequate provision of the operational logistics.

“FRSC that was known to be operating from rented offices now operates mostly from owned offices accommodation as a result of judicious use of the available resources, these and many more are achieved under the watch of Dr Oyeyemi as the CM of FRSC,” he said..

Why We Must Appreciate God For 2020 - Speaker Obasa

Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has promised that he and his colleagues would continue to do their job of lawmaking and providing good governance for the people of the state.

Obasa added that Year 2020 had been a year of challenges for the country, state and the Assembly and that this warrants those that are alive to appreciate God Almighty.

The Speaker made the comment on Friday during the Year 2020 annual thanksgiving of the Assembly Chapel with the theme; "All Round Expansion."

Obasa, who said that the day marked an opportunity to appreciate the goodness of God, added: "In every sense, the year 2020 has been a unique year with its attendant challenges. But the good book, the Holy Bible, admonishes us to faint not but be fervent in the spirit and that if we fail not, then surely, we will be counted among the victorious.

"As such, I declare each and every one of us under this canopy including everyone under the sound of my voice as victorious because we are alive.

"We are alive to see today and alive to move on despite the challenges we all faced this year. The book of Psalm, 147 verse 1 says: 'Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God'.

"I, particularly, will sing praises to God because the Almighty God has done wondrous things in our midst this year. I will sing praises because, together with my colleagues and the inestimable members of staff of this assembly, we scaled through a lot in the year 2020, unscathed."

The Speaker, who intermittently sang praises to God, said the year's theme was carefully selected bearing in mind some of the challenges that were faced in the year.

"Our thematic text for this thanksgiving is taken from Genesis 1:28, which reads: 'God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground'."

The Speaker said the word ‘expansion’ in this context speaks to the state of the nation presently.

"But it is our belief that the incoming year 2021 will be for our prosperity in all ramifications.

"Since we are created in God’s image, we are to be fruitful, or creative. God brought into being a flawless creation, an ideal platform, and then created humanity to continue the creation project," he said while also quoting the Bible to back up his speech.

"You will all agree with me that the coronavirus pandemic experienced this year has reset the 'norms of life' button. The term new normal has become mainstream, as societies grapple with social adjustments and survival economies, so to speak.

"As such, concentrated efforts are being made to build resilience at various levels including healthcare, governance, socio-economic support, educational continuity, and togetherness management.

"Above all the efforts put into claiming our lives back as people, we are reassured in the word of God in Psalm 126 verses 1 and 2 that, 'When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers. Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy'. In the coming year, we will always have reasons to rejoice," he prayed.

The Speaker said further that the Guest Minister, Apostle Wole Oladiyun of Christ LivingSpring Apostolic Ministry (CLAM) was at the Assembly last year and that he was invited to be in the programme this year based on his prophetic messages last year.

"I asked the committee that they must bring Apostle Wole Oladiyun back for the event this year. He told us that what happened this year would happen, but that we will survive it and we survived it.

"For a man to prophesy that something would happen and it happened it shows that he is a man of God," he said while thanking the clergyman for his constant prayers.

Apostle Wole Oladiyun, who spoke extensively on the theme of the programme and thanksgiving, used the opportunity to pray for the nation, the state, the Assembly and for all those, who attended the programme.

Dr Olukoya: What A Home, family fellowship So Sweet!




While some are wishing that the home of the man of God should scatter by fabricating lies and cooking up allegations so that their satanic missions will be fulfilled, God is busy fine tuning and waxing the love and desires stronger through fellowship and prayers.





For some months now, Maureen Badejo has been cooking lies against the General overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries claiming that the man is no longer with his wife, that the woman has moved to Canada and so many other horrible thoughts coming out of her bewitched mind.

This family has received so many attacks, from the child, to the father. From this blood sucking low life of a woman that has no Job other than to do cheap blackmail for popularity on Facebook and YouTube to gain views in other to generate revenues

No doubt there are a few people that are hurt by the disposition and the disciplinary measures of the mountain of fire and miracles ministry, and this has resulted to set of rogue pastors and relieved staff t calling into this woman’s show, to blab out their thoughts without making sense, one of the recent ridiculous one was FUNKE ASHEKUN

LET ME GIVE YOU A SMALL BRIEF ABOUT THIS ONE from where we left of the last time, as investigation went on. Remember I told you we will expose all her madness and all the ingrates and unruly people she brings to her show to utter nonsense.

First, Funke Ashekun is not a leader of any sort in MFM. She was just part of a coordinating team whose impact was not even missed when they left. THE LADY CAME TO MFM with her mother who was a nanny to Rev KUMUYI of the deeper life church before she was sacked. The lady enjoyed the embrace and paramount hospitality of Dr D.K Olukoya by providing her with medical attention and special prayers that expedited her health and kept her alive,

We even received information that one pastor of another ministry where they squatted allegedly had canal knowledge of her which resulted to a lot of problems. This woman and her family shamelessly stayed in church apartment for years to enable them gather the finance to put up their own building at ikorodu. Yet they claim that MFM ministries are an occultic church and had done them wrong, but it wasn’t occultic when they were living off the ministry. May GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS all you evil perpetrators and peddlers

Maureen Badejo can only attract insanity cases to her show because of the nature of her program that is built on cheap blackmail and fabricated lies, SHAME ON YOU.

I have been writing for the past months that this woman is on a mission and her target is to confuse and delude the children of God from seeking deliverance and going to the right place to get the direct experience of the raw power of God, My worry is that she is even doing this with the name of GOD and so many people are falling prey.

But we are exposing her in the cause of time, watch this beautiful video of Dr D.k Olukoya and his family fellowshipping, this s a family that Maureen said was no more and claimed to be a sham, SHAME ON YOU AGAIN please enjoy we hope to bring you more revelations as the truth unfolds.

Mr Anyaduba stressed that Education is an instrument for knowledge and ideological development. As a Citadel of learning, Veritas University should use education as foundational tool for peaceful co-existence. As a sustainability advocate, I opined that sustainable peace is what every society needs and that is a situation where the probability of using destructive conflict, oppression and violent to solve problems is so low while the probability of using cooperation, dialogue and collaborative problem-solving to promote social justice and well being is so high that it governs social organization and life.

Both Peace and Education were captured in the SDGs on Goals 16 and 4 respectively.

Journalist, Femi Oyewale Blasts Maureen Badejo, "You are Too Small"

A smelling mouth shouldn’t try to whisper words into anyone's ears because of the odour. One of the funniest proverbs I have heard in recent times. Maureen Badejo, how dare you talk about me in that polarised illiterate consuming worthless Facebook program of yours, GIOTV, GIO NONSENSE.

A show that lacks any form of pedigree A PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR CHEAP CONTENT AND BLACKMAIL, stories with no proper facts and justifiable investigations, a comic relief and a laughable outburst of a mental psychological case.

Before I go further, let me introduce myself to you properly, so you know who you are dealing with and understand why I will keep exposing your lies and treasury to your viewers , because they are the ones that needs to be redeemed of what you are doing

Femi Oyewale is unarguably one of the most intelligent media personalities in Nigeria, with his recent emergence as the president of National Association of Online Security Reporters known as NAOSRE. Born on October 3rd, 1977 in Lagos, he graduated from Olabisi Onabanjo University where he finished among the top three, from the department of English.

His journey into media was under the tutelage of his godfather, Mr Femi Adesina while in defunct Concord Newspaper. From there, he joined Encomium Magazine under the leadership of Mr Kunle Bakare and Mr Azuh Arinze who are adjudged one of the best in their chosen careers.

In 2015, he started first Sahara international services, publishers of Sahara weekly magazine and Sahara online ( www.saharaweeklyng.com)

Within the spare of 5 years, the medium has risen to become a force to be reckoned with. He is also currently the national Public Relation Officer of the Nigerian Guild Of Investigative Journalist. A part of his business is creating positive awareness campaigns around the Christian community by giving a voice to ministries through his online publications

Now back to you Maureen, do you have a CV of any kind, THAT GIVES YOU THE IMPETUS TO SPEAK ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF ANY ONE, how much more people WITH PEDIGREES, that all the descendants of your lineage and generations put together cannot attain their feat, hold on Maureen, other than being a fraudster, home wrecker, marriage scammer, garrulous, a blackmailer and a LIER? What and how can you really describe yourself, we know your story, of how you left Nigeria, how you left your husband, how you registered a church in England under limited liability instead of an NGO because I believe you had ulterior motives , Maureen we know you.

Let’s leave your life at the moment because it's practically nothing to talk about. You cannot sit down in a COUNCIL HOUSE in THE UK and begin to talk about people that transform lives , people that have toiled for the kingdom of God, to remain strong on the face of the earth, people that have raised men that have brought transformations worldwide and YOU expect me who is a kingdom defender to keep mute

Let me tell you why I followed you up on Dr D.k Olukoya’s case, it’s because from the very beginning your allegations were based on lies and emptiness and I will state a fraction of them below.

(1) you said his child was bought for a price and that he wasn’t the father and I replied you through proper investigation that the child was the flesh and blood of Dr DK Olukoya , born at a very popular hospital in London which I mentioned earlier and you can still go and find out



(2) You said Olukoya stole 4 million pounds , this was a display of abysmal ignorance because this 4 million pounds was an annual report of total expenditure of the ministry



(3) You said the Dr D.k Olukoya’s son Elijah had 6 billion naira at Heritage bank, meanwhile from our findings Elijah doesn’t even have a bank account in that bank





(4) You said the marriage of Dr Olukoya is no longer valid , that the wife had left for Canada but from our finding the lady in question visited Canada sometime in 2007 and she is still very much enjoying her marital journey unlike you that has had 3 failed attempts at marriage





(5) You claimed that there was a brow in one mfm branch in London where people had guns and were shooting and even played a video for evidence meanwhile , it was a political brouhaha in south America , Dominican republic to be precise and I brought out the true story





(6) You said a house called Shiloh was demolished because you spoke about it and that it harboured virgins, meanwhile when we decided to look into the case we realised that it was a building that was instructed to be pulled down by the Lagos state government cause of safety reasons and another house was built for the occupants, that where families and people alike not virgins.



(7) 7. You said that Mrs Shade Olukoya (Dr Olukoya’s wife) is on the church payroll and she is earning a salary in the sum of 35,000 pounds from MFM. Although as a pastor, she is entitled to a salary but from our findings she has never taken a penny from MFM UK.



( You continued in your many lies that a particular pastor from MFM UK paid the sum of 150,000 pounds into the personal account of Dr Daniel Olukoya and then went to Nigeria to meet the GO so he could help him cover up his fraud. We later found out that no pastor has ever paid a cent into DRs account and these were fabricated stories



(9) You said That Dr Daniel Olukoya has abandoned his family members, refusing to take care of them. Meanwhile, members of Dr Olukoya’s family from both sides are all still alive to bear witness to the contrary, as matter of fact I believe that there are a few GENERAL OVERSEERS that take care of people worldwide like DKO. That is if there is any.





(10) You ignorantly told your viewers that Dr Daniel Olukoya as well as all the MFM UK Trustees are thieves because they are all deeply involved and participated in the alleged fraud that is being investigated by the Charity Commission. Unknowingly, the charity commission case was a fraud against mfm by a pastor and an external auditor and DK Olukoya was never a part of It, these are information you will never know because you don’t have that kind of intelligence

Maureen let me stop here out of you over 1000 lies and fabricated stories. We know you, and how you operate, how you arrange fake callers, how you don’t let other people with the right views speak. When people call into your show to correct your misinformation, you react like a person with a mad dog disease and display more of your ignorance to your ignorant viewers, whom the devil is snatching away through your bogus and inconsequential program

For your information I am a true journalist and my work takes me to different places including churches. For you to think that because I write about TB Joshua and other ministers means they are now related or friends , it simply shows that you have a tiny brain that doesn’t think, another proof of your pack of lies. To the best of my knowledge ma, TB Joshua and DKO are two different personalities and ministries , and to the best of my knowledge, nothing connects these two people. So once again, do your investigations before you come and ventilate nonsense on the air. I believe I have spent too much time on your matter but I just want to make it clear that you have no business being in any kind of journalism be it blogging vlogging facebooking or whatever people call it these days. But I have one advice for You, Repent! Repent! Repent! Before it’s too late.

NEW WAVE OF CORONAVIRUS: CORPS MARSHAL CHARGES COMMANDING OFFICERS TO INTENSIFY AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS ON MAXIMUM PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AND ENFORCEMENT

The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi has tasked Commanding Officers to brace up, be more proactive and ensure immediate deployment of personnel for aggressive sensitization of the motoring public on the need to observe maximum safety precautionary measures in the face of the recent threat of the second wave of COVID-19 in Nigeria. According to Bisi Kazeem , the Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC in a press release, he further directed that safety managers domiciled with fleet operators must endeavour to ensure strict compliance to all standing directives given by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 including provision of running water and hand washing equipments and making available, hand sanitisers both in parks/terminals and in the vehicles.

Oyeyemi stated that as the Corps commences this year's end of year special patrol towards the successful Christmas and new year celebrations, the Corps will not relent in its commitment to safer motoring environment as Commanding Officers have been directed to heighten advocacy and sensitization campaigns in motor parks to bring the message of the rising cases of COVID-19 pandemic to the consciousness of road travelers. This is because creating understanding and enforcing compliance with the rules is strategic to achieving the required success.

Oyeyemi further ordered that drivers of vehicles must be made to comply with every directive on physical distancing by carrying only one person at the front and not more than three at the rear seat of the vehicles. While motorcycle riders should carry only one person at a time so that occupants will be able to guard themselves and watch out for symptoms as they commute to their destinations.

Kazeem equally stated that the Corps Marshal advised travelers to stay away from overloaded vehicles at all times no matter the urgency of their trip. He warned all vehicle occupants to always wear their seatbelts, put on their facemasks and ensure that they fill the passenger manifest before the trip commences.

According to him, at this point, it is better to be late on your trip than to indulge in unhealthy acts that will lead to contracting or spreading the virus as the world has already had enough of the epidemic.


Oyeyemi further cautions motorists who notice any strange type of flu to consider the welfare of others and stay back, notify the family and loved ones of the development, and report him or herself for medical examination.



While he gave the foregoing advice and warned against indiscriminate overloading of vehicles, the Corps Marshal enjoined all motorists and road users to drive to stay alive as they continually observe all traffic rules and regulations.



He cautioned FRSC personnel detailed on enforcement to treat road users with tolerance, civility, empathy as he called on the public to report any noticeable noncompliance by any transporter to the Corps through the Toll Free emergency numbers 122 or the Public Education Officer through the National traffic radio live lines GLO 08052998090, MTN 09067000015, and SMS on GLO 08052998012.

THE STATE OF THE EMERGENCE OF COVID 19 DURING THE COAS ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The Nigerian Army has clarified issues regarding the state of emergence of covid -19 during the Chief Of Army Staff annual conference in Abuja. It stated that:


1. The Chief of Army Staff's Annual Conference (COAS) 2020, started on 7 December 2020 with the virtual commissioning of the Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command's Headquarters at Giri by the President, Commander- in -Chief. Among the attendees was Maj Gen JO Irefin, the late General Officer Commanding 6 Division, based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Same day, at about 9pm, having complained of fever, headache and mild cough, he was taken to Defence Medical Centre, Abuja. His medical history revealed that he was treated for malaria with parenteral artemether a week ago at 6 Division Medical Services and Hospital in Port Harcourt Barracks. On Wednesday 8 December 2020, his sample for COVID 19 was taken and he was directed to self isolate pending the outcome of the test. On the same day, the result of his COVID 19 test was confirmed positive and was taken to Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital, Abuja for further management. Sadly, he passed on at about 0510 hours on Thursday 10th of December 2020. The cause of his death was reported as respiratory failure secondary to the complications of COVID 19 infection.

2. On the confirmation that Gen Irefin's COVID19 test was positive on 9 December 2020, the Chief of Army Staff directed the immediate suspension of the conference and all participants were directed to move into self isolation in line with FGN protocols on COVID 19 pandemic. Equally, comprehensive testing of all participants commenced immediately. Consequently, as at Sunday the 13th of December 2020, a total of 417 personnel have so far been tested with 26 confirmed positive cases. Currently, all participants are in self isolation irrespective of their results while Nigeria Centre for Disease Control recommended COVID-19 treatment drugs were immediately issued to those that tested positive.

3. Accordingly, all officers and soldiers working at the Army Headquarters are being tested and COVID-19 protocols being strictly enforced across all units and formations of the NA. Meanwhile, the entire Army Headquarters complex was thoroughly fumigated on Saturday 12 December 2020.

Stakeholders Offer Security Options At NAOSRE Dinner Night







A special security event convoked by the leadership and members of the National Association of Online Security Reporters (NAOSRE) on December 11 in Lagos, 2020, brought new light on the insecurity bedeviling Nigeria.
The brainstorming event––NAOSRE’s maiden Dinner Night and Discourse–– was organised by the body’s new executives that took over the helm of affairs barley two months ago, specifically on October 29.


NAOSRE’s members comprised professional journalists with strong media credentials who have worked with the conventional media and are now reporting on digital platforms, some of them, Nigeria’s finest hands in security reportage.

Established with the main objective to provide accuracy, transparency in relaying security news, the association also stands as the long expected information bridge between citizens and security agents.


To this end, it has successfully established a sustainable working relationship with key security players in the corporate world and security agencies in Nigeria, including but not limited to the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Air Force, Nigeria Police Force and Nigeria Customs Service as well as Federal Road Safety Corps.
Without doubt, NAOSRE’s clout in Nigeria’s security stratosphere was displayed by the event of December 11, which, as it were, has passed into history as a watershed in the annals of security discourse in the country.



The Dinner Night and Discourse drew participants, guests and speakers from the safety and security agencies, the legislative arm of government, traditional leadership and corporate organizations and of course, the media––both traditional and the digital media.
Interestingly, the evening of intelligent discourse with a theme: “2021 Nigeria Security: Issues, Funding and Prospect,” unlocked a plethora of security solutions and ideas.



Expectedly, the convergence of key players in the security circle opened the windows set of suggestions which would embellish 2021 security policy formulation and implementations in a manner that Nigeria would be one of the secured countries on the continent.



Femi Oyewale, NAOSRE’s President, in his welcome address, set the tone for the event:
“Today's security discourse was birthed out of the need to address the security issues in Nigeria, bearing in mind that 2020 has been a very tough year for citizens, businesses and indeed, the security sector.”


Oyewale’s remark was, unmistakably, the needed bullet that hit the bull’s eye, considering the various security challenges that reared up in the course of the year, culminating in the catharsis of the #ENDSARS protest.


It provided room for elaborate sharing of ideas and offered a 360-degree view of Nigeria’s security apparatus. Each security apparatus spoke on the unique challenges confronting their efficiency on the job, as well as also informed the public about the gains and the good strides that have been achieved by their respective organisations.
From the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, came a detailed analysis of the use of hi-tech speed sensors to check recklessness of drivers on Nigerian roads, and thus secure road transportation in the country.



Superintendent Route Commander, SRC, E. Olasehinde who represented Bisi Kazeem, the spokesman for the Commission, elaborated the professional working abilities of Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr Boboye Oyeyemi. He disclosed that the Corps has “Embraced technology in all its operations.”
He hinted that a drivers’ license issued by FRSC in Nigeria can validate a user's driving permission across many countries in the world. He however sued for strict adherence to driving rules and codes by road users to mitigate the growing list of disasters on Nigerian roads.




The National Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, Deputy Comptroller Joseph Attah, gave a wide-angle view of the new developments. “We are not relenting. We continue to do our best to drastically reduce smuggling to the barest minimum,” he assured.



Represented by Uche Ejesieme, PRO Tin Can Island Port, the Customs Service elaborated its deployment of intelligence in the discharge of its duties at all the country’s points of entry.



The Customs particularly advocated for synergy among security agents in view of the multifaceted dimensions of border security.
Superintendent Adebisi Adewunmi, who represented Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Hakeem Odumosu, highlighted: “There is need to spend money and there is need to inject more funds in the security apparatus from military to the Police.”


Speaking further, he said: “In Lagos, Policemen work 24/7. They are overstretched. But with proper funding, everyone will sleep with their eyes closed.”
Adewunmi, however, noted that the work of the police is further made difficult by online mischief-makers who created unnecessary panic. “Please join hands with the police, tell us our wrongs, but don’t encourage sensational journalism that can further breach the peace in society,” he appealed to NAOSRE.




Adewunmi acknowledged the positive development arising from the fallout of the #ENDSARS protest: “We have been promised an improved salary and retirement package.”
Major Osoba Olaniyi, who represented Brigadier General Sagir Musa, Acting Director, Army Public Relations, disclosed that “Nigerian Army is conducting internal security operations in 34 states.”



Major Olaniyi, Acting Deputy Director, 81 Division Army Public Relations, explained: “We accept criticism because we are a professional institution. However, what we don’t want is casting aspersion on us, because it has the tendency to weaken the resolve of those still fighting and dishonour the memories of our fallen heroes; it also has the tendency to undermine national unity.”



Olaniyi, responding to concerns raised about members of Police and Army impunity when dealing with civilians affirmed: “Irrespective of whatever uniform we wear, we still share the same humanity with members of society. And we shall try to remain humane with you.”


Both the Police and Army agreed that there are bad eggs among their operatives.
“The military is still high on discipline. We still don’t condone indiscipline,” Major Olaniyi who speaks for Army formations in both Ogun and Lagos States, asserted.
He nonetheless advised the public to report cases of infractions to 81 Division and 9th Brigade, stressing that Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff, has zero tolerance for indiscipline among officers and men especially in relating with the general public.



Corroborating Major Osoba’s submission, Superintendent Adewunmi added that: “There will always be Judas among people. The same applies to the Nigeria Police. But be assured that we are doing all we can to train our men on how to relate with the public.”
He gave the anecdote of how some communities rose to protect Police officers and prevented attacks on police stations located in their neighbourhood. “Citizens should imbibe the spirit of supporting security agents at all times,” he requested.
Various speakers from the non-security sector further expanded the evening discourse.
Dr Tony Akposheri, veteran Nollywood actor, who represented Prince Honourable Ned Nwoko, Grand Patron, NAOSRE, pointed out that the public has roles to play in the security of our society.




“We cannot leave everything to the government,” he noted and further submitted: “Nigerian security discourse is timely at this time of our nation, not the issue of sacking service chiefs; if they are sacked and the right things are not in place the situation will not improve.”



Dr Akposheri noted further that: “Our security personnel are not adequately well taken care of and the number of security operatives in this country is not adequate,” he said, pointing out other deficits including working with obsolete tools and technology.
In his view, “Children of security agents should enjoy free education from primary school to university.” This, he averred, would boost the morale of security operatives.
“We are not happy with the state of the Nigerian Police. They are not well remunerated. There should be transparency in what goes to them as earnings and allowances,” Akposheri declared.



Barrister Yinka Oguntimehin who represented Aare Ona-Kakanfo of Yoruba land, Otunba Gani Adams, dwelt on how the police institution has decayed over time. He recounted the heart-breaking revelations on a recent radio programme about the poor salary of policemen.




Aside, he added the dehumanizing condition of service Police officers are subjected, starting with the barracks where they live which have degenerated into squalor, and the burden of providing the basic tools of their jobs including their uniform, beret and boots and even the charge sheets in their stations.




While commiserating with the police force for the loss of its members during the ENDSARS saga, Oguntimehin observed: “As a matter of fact, a better police service was what the youths had demanded.”
Although, the Guest Speaker of the event, Senate Committee Chairman on Air Force, Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, was unavoidably absent ––having had to fly back home earlier on that day as he was bereaved––he nonetheless made a vital contribution that became one of the main takeaways from the event.
With the participants listening to him on phone, Senator Na’Allah avowed that “A lot of issues need to be addressed if we must reverse the insecurity facing Nigeria.”
He was blunt in holding the country’s elite responsible for the degeneration of security. “There must be an institutional commitment on the part of the government to curb some of the security challenges,” he said.



Continuing, he further asserted: “It has dawned on everyone and the government that there is an urgent need to address security issues affecting the country.”
Other highlights of the night include messages of support from the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, whose message was delivered by a Principal Officer of the House, Honourable Noheem Adams representing Constituency: Eti-Osa I.
In his message, Speaker Obasa who is also the Chairman Nigerian body of Speakers, assured Lagosians and indeed Nigerians of qualitative legislative contributions to a safer society. “As legislators, we are committed to our oversight functions to ensure that appropriated funds for military operations are judiciously utilized for its rightful purpose,” Obasa vowed.



There was also a show of support by FirstBank of Nigeria Plc team. Nigeria's leading bank’ staff were physically present at the event, a development that sent assuring signals to the banking public of FirstBank’s commitment to security in a manner that depositors with the bank do not have any need to entertain fears in the years ahead.
From the traditional enclave was HRM. Oba (Dr.) Adeoriyomi Akeem Oyebo, Obateru of Egbin Kingdom, Ikorodu, Lagos , to lend his voice to NAOSRE’s dinner of security solutions.



The Lagos first class traditional ruler advised government across levels to consider the use of traditional methods to checkmate criminal activities.
“Some criminal elements, who, at times, over power security agents use traditional powers. Why can't the government look in that direction? He asked.
The highly respected Oba, who was accompanied to the event by Chief Lateef S. Saminu, Olisa Egbin, supported his suggestion with a story of a man who once secured and safe guarded a bank in Ibadan without being physically present.
He however prayed for NAOSRE and encouraged its leaders to sustain its noble task of promoting effective security communication.
Another traditional ruler at the event was HRM Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal
Abisogun, Oniru of Iruland .



The Kabiesi was ably represented by his media aide, Femi Liadi.
Nollywood star, Paul Obazele reflected on the trauma of the recent protest and called for more citizens’ co-operation with security agents.

DON'T BE DEMORALISED BY ICC INVESTIGATION AND AI POSTURE, BURATAI TELLS NIGERIAN TROOPS


The Nigerian Army's attention has been drawn to a Press Release by the Prosecutor General of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday 12 December 2020, alleging that she has found a reasonable basis to believe that “members of the Nigerian Security Forces ("NSF")” have committed acts constituting crimes against humanity and war crimes. This was immediately followed by a release by the local branch of Amnesty International (AI) in Nigeria “demanding full investigation of atrocities by Nigerian forces.” There is no doubt such statement and instigation can distract the Nigerian Army troops with its demoralising effects. It will have negative consequences on troops morale, interest in military service by Nigerians and severe setback to all our internal security operations in the country. However, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General TY Buratai, enjoins Nigerian Army troops to ignore the distractions and call on the gallant troops never to be worried or demoralized by these moves.

The COAS who is currently in self-isolation as part of precaution against the COVID-19, would soon be joining our gallant troops in the North East at the end of the mandatory isolation period to continue giving the desired leadership and support to the gallant and patriotic troops of the Nigerian Army. He said we must fight on to secure our country and people. He further enjoined troops to ignore the wicked, unnecessary distractions and direct troops to fully concentrate on the final defeat of Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists group which is in sight. He also charges the troops to work hard and be guided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Rules of Engagement, the Code of Conduct and the Standing Operating Procedures for all Nigerian Army Operations. The COAS wishes to assure and reiterate that the Nigerian Army is not only protecting human rights but also sustaining human rights nationally and globally. Our professional conduct over the years and most recently during the #ENDSARS protest at Lekki Village near Lagos are clear testimonies to the Nigerian Army's posture on promoting sustainable human rights policy. The Nigerian Army wishes to advise local or international organisations not to allow themselves be used to destabilize or destroy the troops' morale by the sponsors of mischief in Nigeria.

TB JOSHUA’S PROPHECY ON AMERICAN ELECTION FULFILLED
AS SUPREME COURT REJECTS TRUMP’S FINAL LAWSUIT OVER RESULTS

On November 1st 2020, Nigerian Pastor TB Joshua gave a prophecy regarding the American elections in which he indicated a victory for Joe Biden.

Joshua noted that although there would be “resistance” from President Donald Trump’s team, the election outcome would not be changed as the US Supreme Court would be “an instrument of check”.

“There is likely going to be pockets of resistance here and there but nothing will change,” the cleric noted in the prophetic message that quickly went viral on YouTube, amassing over 600,000 views.

“The joy is that the Supreme Court will be an instrument of check… Let me reserve what I am seeing until the inauguration of the new president,” he concluded.

In confirmation, on Saturday 12th December 2020, the US Supreme Court unanimously rejected President Donald Trump’s lawsuit filed in Texas State seeking to overturn election results in four battleground states.

In a brief statement explaining its decision, the court rejected the suit without a hearing, saying Texas had no standing to challenge the results in other states: “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognisable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.”

After five weeks of ‘resistance’ and baseless allegations of fraud, there is now no further legal option to prevent Joe Biden from being inaugurated as the 46th US President on January 20th 2021.

Followers of Joshua are now waiting for his next prophetic message which he said would come after the “inauguration of the new president”.

NAOSRE Security Discourse: The country will do itself good if we jettison politics - Senator Na’ Allah




…Calls for Committee to regulate sales and distribution of cattle

Worried by the rising insecurity in the country, Senate Deputy Leader and Senator representing Kebbi South District, Senator Bala Ibn Na’ Allah has called on the federal government to as a matter of urgency enhance the institutional capability of those who are charged with the responsibility of ensuring law and order to see how to get the country out of the woods.

Na’ Allah who made this call in his submission at the first Annual Dinner Night & Discourse organized by the National Association of Online Security Reporters (NAOSRE) held in Lagos on Friday regretted that all attempts to ensure that the Police had been reformed over a long period of time had been rebuffed by people in leadership simply because the system worked for them and therefore, effort to have it remain within the circle of government becomes the work of the day.

He however noted that if Nigerians work towards a system that works for them, whether they are in government or out of government, one would have seen that the quest to be in government would reduce.

The Senator noted that no country in the world had witnessed the uniqueness of the insecurity that Nigeria was facing today adding that the development had more to do with the past misdeeds of the leaders.

“We never thought that a situation will get as bad as this. We were thinking that the people will continue to endure our excesses and I think that now, time has come that it is no more possible to rule the people based on deception.

“Take for example, cattle rustling; when you take these cattle, they are not consuming them. They are sending them somewhere. So, why can’t we come up with a committee that will regulate the sale and distribution of cattle? We can do it because you cannot carry cattle on your head from let’s say Abuja to Lagos or Kaduna to Imo or to any other place where they go to sell these cattle, they go by road in a trailer. So, it is not difficult to regulate this kind of thing.

“So, what is difficult to regulate this kind of thing so as to make sure that whatever it is that is being transported is coming from a source that is genuine? But you see there is no institutional commitment to do this kind of intervention and therefore, it is easy for cattle to be rustled, load them in a trailer and then deliver them in Lagos or elsewhere and sell them and make money and go.

“So, our control strategies are at variance completely with the intended intervention. It is really a bit difficult but I am beginning to think that with the level we reached now, it has dawned on everyone whether in government or out of government that there is the need to secure this country and that need overrides any other need. And I hope that government will begin to look at the wisdom in trying to enhance the institutional capability of those who are charged with the responsibility of ensuring law and order to see how we can get out of where we are”, he stated.

The senator who further observed that the Boko Haram issue had more to do with fundamentalism arising from lack of adequate knowledge about the religion of Islam itself blamed the incidences of kidnapping and banditry on the inability of the policies of government to help develop the northern part of the country economically over a period of time.

“Reason being that the creators of our constitution wanted us to develop evenly and that was why consideration was given to the population and then land mass as a way of creating local government so that the resources of the country can adequately be distributed in such a manner that the country grows evenly and then, then welfare of the citizens becomes a priority.

“But unfortunately, government became a little bit not in accordance with the constitution. Governors refused to allow local government to use their resources and everything was cornered within the state thus economically strangulating the local government which is the grassroots. And then, if you notice carefully, this issue of banditry actually arises from or occurs monthly in the rural areas and it has to do with cattle rustling and then kidnapping for money and all that.

“I think that if we sit down and then soberly reflect on where we were and how we came to this place; it is an issue that I believe can be easily reversed in the sense that first, let us grow our institutions. Secondly, let the rule of law rule; thirdly, let everyone who goes against the law of this country be made accountable irrespective of his religion or ethnic background. So, let us see the country as one country with laws that have the capacity to regulate the affairs of men. But the issue is that you and me know that that is not what we have today”, he said.

He however called on Nigerians to see the country as one with laws that had the capacity to regulate the affairs of men saying “you and me know that that is not what we have today.”

According to him, “The country will do itself good if we jettison politics and jettison everything and then go back to the root cause of where were before and how we come to where are today. Could it be prolong wrong policies of government that didn’t work out well? Could it be the breakdown of institutions that have the responsibility of ensuring lives and properties of citizens are secured? What other issues could have landed us to where we are?”

A TEAM HEADING TO HELL by Femi Oyewale

The bible is by far the most awesome compendium of all time, it tells it as it was yesterday, as it is today and how it will be tomorrow , but one scripture that I ponder about all the time is that of Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the Lord search the heart; I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

I am here again to speak woe unto the wicked and those who gang up to do evil against people who have blessed them and given them PLATFORMS and source to see the Good things of life. Righteousness must prevail

Are you aware that the meaning of Maureen is Rebellion and bitterness? And bitterness will always attract dark minded and bitter people? like I always say, mine is to bring light to the lies and evil matters that Maureen and her questionable characters bring to the table of their coven called Facebook live or whatever, to castigate and speak ill against the church and the people of God

It saddens my heart to listen to MAUREEN GO AT IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, with people who Lost it from mfm, FIRED , DISMISSED or LEFT THE MINISTRY IN UNRULY SCENARIOS AND TERRIBLE FOOTPRINTS . The so-called Mrs FUNKE ASHEKUN who sent in a video to Maureen’s show is one of them.

We decided to investigate and look into the matter properly, and from our investigations, our DISCOVERIES ARE MIND BOGGLING AND HEART BREAKING , for her to have the effrontery and conviction, without conscience to do what she did on Maureen’s show, recording a video based on fallacy laced with fabrications of negative thoughts about Dr D.k Olukoya and Gods ministry MFM, I FELT FOR HER, because as I put this piece of write up together all I could think of is how fierce God will execute his mighty judgement upon her and all the rogue ministers who have been on this satanic mission, I don’t think God will spare you for allowing the devil to use YOU.

Let’s take a close look at Mrs FUNKE ASHEKUN whom I think Satan has entered, just like he did Judas, we learnt that this woman came to the ministry as a single lady sometime in 1995 and left for the USA with a husband and 4 children without telling anyone, is that someone who progressed or not ?. Before we go on with this matter we would like to ask some salient questions since she wants to be famous,

1 what virtue or value did you bring to MFM when you came?

2 when you joined mfm in 1995 who rented a flat for you and your mum at Fola Agoro?

3 What assets did you have when you joined MFM?

4 Are the records of the moneys you embezzled not with the account department of MFM?

5 will you ever have gotten anywhere without the support of the ministry including your overseas trips to the UK and the US?

6 Didn’t you flee with the two cars and furniture in the accommodation you were given by the Church?

7 Is it true that as at when you went to see Apostle Johnson Suleiman when he gave you prophecy to go to MFM you hadn’t met with D.k Olukoya?

8 Were you not employed as a worker at MFM bookshop and your husband got a Job at Oceanic bank?

9 Could you specifically tell us the glory you brought to MFM that was stolen?

10 what exactly is your mission with this show of shame that you are putting up

We have so much to ask but we won’t waste further time on the frivolities of an unstable being whose lost touch with reality, WE ARE AFTER THE TRUTH BECAUSE ONLY THE TRUTH CAN SET US FREE.

FUNKE ASHEKUN AND HER HUSBAND HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO BE GENERAL OVERSEERS AND GO AND LIVE IN AMERICA after all, they said that’s what God told them, but why become a general overseer by pulling down those that lifted you and gave you hope with all your suspicious act of embezzlement and many other UNSPOKEN things.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION we learnt that before her so called exit and departure she was still living in mfm housing units, and to cap up the story, we found out, they carted away furniture’s and valuables, belonging to the church housing unit as they fled, these are people claiming to be in bondage, people claiming to be called of God, people speaking ill about men whom have transformed lives and still transforming lives.

They lived in the church housing units for years for free, and left for AMERICA WITH A VISITING VISA UNANNOUNCED, not a word to church authority or any relevant person for that matter.

It’s no doubt she and her husband are known in the ministry by a handful of people but what she failed to mention is that she was basically known for all the awesome things Dr D.k Olukoya and MFM as a ministry has done for her and her family.

From our findings we realised that the GENERAL OVERSEER stood for them and by them, from getting tons of gifts from MRS SHADE OLUKOYA, for her and her children’s personal supplies, to financing their wedding.

They were given TWO VEHICLES by the ministry, they were borrowed money on request to the tune of NGN750, 000 still owing till date THERE ARE records to prove, they left the ministry twice on the guise that God asked them to go and minister in AMERICA, came back and were welcomed.

Through our finding we got to know that when this so called lady’s mother was sick, the church took responsibility of her, spending huge amount of money , taking her to the best of hospitals , and the general overseer, even sponsored her to Jerusalem ,

We got to know that They got privileged salaries , this woman ran to mfm CREATING A DAUNTING IMAGE OF DEEPER LIFE saying that she was been forced to marry an older man who is an army personnel , her children were placed on DR DKO SCHOLARSHIP before they disappeared.

This Family is a product of GREED, INDISCIPLINE, INGRATITUDE, and a pretentious set that chose to stay in the church for financial gains and benefits FROM WHAT WE CAN DEDUCE SO FAR.

THERE IS NOTHING THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULDN’T DO TO HURT OTHERS.

Madam Funke, it’s amazing that you could open your mouth to question the authentic power of God in MFM and the God in the man of Dr DANIEL KOLAWOLE OLUKOYA, one who clothed and fed you from nothing to something out of compassion,

We found out that after this lady and her husband left MFM her mother was still living in church accommodation and been taken care of by the ministry with welfare salary in place, as a matter of fact we gathered that when they returned from their so called exit from the ministry they stayed in the flat we had given to their mother for years trying to find their feet

We sorted from a reliable source that the general overseer gave them some huge amount of money to deposit for their BANK JOB and they fled with it because the money was never recovered, when they had issues with their house at Ikorodu due to robbers invasion, the church stood for them and lodged them for months at the church guest house.

Today you claim that MFM and Dr Olukoya are occultic and a ritualist, JUST BECAUSE they didn’t give you the room to live your wayward and fraudulent ways in the ministry, God in his wisdom is exposing all the wolves in sheep clothing.

These people need to come to God in spirit and in truth and address their foundations which is traced to the babalawo line

Dr DK Olukoya never for once treated you with disdain, because if one man or a ministry can do all this for just one family I wonder what else you want from God. FUNKE GOD IS WAITING FOR YOU and maybe when this new Satan that has entered you leaves, you will come to your senses that you have joined yourself with bitterness and rebellion which is actually the GATEWAY TO DESTRUCTION

*A Report By The Good Governance Index On How Poor Governance, Lack Of Accountability At State And Local Govt Levels Escalate Insecurity In Nigeria*

Introduction:

The Good Governance Index, a non-profit organization dedicated to the entrenchment of good governance and accountability in governance at all tiers of government in Nigeria undertook systemic research on factors responsible for insecurity in Nigeria with a view to identifying the factors responsible for the escalation of insecurity in Nigeria.

It relied on primary sources of data in interviews, on the spot assessments tours, interactions with key stakeholders at the various tiers of government as well as close review of documents and policy papers on governance in Nigeria.

The Issues:

Every country has her fair share of security challenges, but when the state of insecurity rises by the day, then there is a need for urgent action. This has been the situation in Nigeria in recent years. Thus, the problem of insecurity in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized.

Consequently, insecurity has taken various forms in different parts of the country. In the South-West, armed robbers have taken over, while in the North, cross-border bandits operate with ease. However, in the South-South, there are rampant cases of kidnapping. Also the continuous wave of crime and armed robbery attacks, cult killings etc all point to the fact that insecurity is fast becoming a norm in Nigeria and have somewhat suddenly become attractive to specific individuals in seeking to resolve issues that could have ordinarily been settled through due process. The end-products lead to the decimation of innocent lives, disruption of economic activities, and destruction of properties, among others.

Governance at the Local Government Areas:
Local government in Nigeria have more significant challenges than other tiers of government since they have the responsibility of ensuring equitable social and economic development at the grassroots. Chairmen of the council are expected to prepare programmes of work and related financial implication, manage and supervise the allocation of financial and human resource coupled with appropriate monitoring of project execution.

Unfortunately, apart from lacking the above requirements both the elected and civil service officials at the local government lack the ability to establish excellent working relationships, ability to build the consensus, negotiation skills and the commitment to develop a partnership for improved development effectiveness throughout all the Local Government Areas.

From all indication, it was observed that local government administration as a whole is increasing in scope day to day with resulting increased responsibilities. This means that Local Government administration does not merely require people with academic paper qualification, but people with initiative ability to lead, ability to enthuse and to guide. Unfortunately, the Local Governments have failed in their both their statutory powers and political will to address these issues.

The role of the state governments:
It must be stated that the role of state government as a tier of government in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. It has been increasingly noted that the various state governments have been notorious in rendering local government areas in the states ineffective and mostly underfunded. It has also been stated in numerous forums that state governors are in the habit of depriving the bulk of the people in the local government areas the dividends of democracy, and this is somewhat responsible for the spate of agitations at the local government levels which gave rise to all sort of anomalies at the grassroots levels.
Insecurity at Local Government Areas:
The people who reside at the grassroots constitute nearly sixty percent of the entire Nigerian population. But the economic wellbeing of the local government area councils is not sound. This means that poverty is more in local areas than it is in urban centres. And this fact has its attendant implication on the security situation in Nigeria.

According to reliable findings in the cause of the research work, it was observed that the bulk of the security challenges emanates from the state and local government levels. For example, kidnappers and other forms of criminal elements are planned in rural areas. Recruitments into terrorist groups are also carried out at the local government areas because of the level of deprivation and poverty.

Poor governance and lack of accountability:
This research indeed revealed that Local governments in Nigeria experience varying levels of interference from politicians and state governments and there have been contending views on whether interference is desirable or not considering the poor performance of local governments.

The revelations indeed portend grave danger because interference is not desirable as it has been the bane of the security challenges in the country.

Conclusion:

The Good Governance Index as a result of the above, concludes the level of insecurity in the country is fueled substantially by the ignoble role of the state and local governments in the governance structure in the country.

There is an apparent lack of accountability which is a bane in the entrenchment of good governance in the country and provided that ready market for the recruitment of willing foot soldiers by criminal elements into the web of crime and criminalities in the country.

Recommendations:

The Good Governance Index as a result of the preceding herby make the following recommendations;

The federal government should begin the process of demanding from the state governor's accountability and transparency in the administration of local government funds. This, in our considered opinion, would bring about the much need accountability in governance at the state and local government levels.

The federal government must also do all within its powers to ensure the entrenchment of transparency and accountability at the state and local government levels in a bid to ensure that terrorist and other criminal gangs do not find the local government areas as veritable grounds for the escalation of violence in the country.

*Borno Committee of Elders' Hypocracy and Misleading Advice-----Daniel Banjo*




Daniel Banjo, a security expert and foremost public affairs evaluator, chronicles the antics of Borno Committee of Elders as presented below unedited







History:
February 2014: The Jihadist group raided the Nigerian village of Izghe in the north of the country and murdered dozens - before going door-to-door and killing anyone they came across.

April 2014: Nearly 300 schoolgirls are abducted from the town of Chibok, which Boko Haram burned to the ground.

August 2014: The terror group kidnapped at least 97 people during raids on villages in Borno State. They killed 28 boys and men.

November 2014: 120 people killed in a bomb attack on a central Mosque in Kano - the principal city of northern Nigeria.

January 4, 2015: Boko Haram kidnaps 40 boys and young men, believed to be aged ten to 23, from a village in the Nigerian state of Borno.
Above depicts the security situation in the general north east area which had led the introduction of military personnel to combat the deadly activities of the terrorist group since 2009.

Inconsistency:
It became bothersome when I read all sorts of utterances emanating from the 'peoples' of Borno state and I continue to wonder why this set of humans remain so inconsistent in agitations and hypocritical in attitudes.

Before:
As far back as 2011, they had been at loggerheads with the government on the issue of the Boko Haram group, at a period requesting that troops of the NA be withdrawn and a dialogue system pursued. Read below a report of a publication in 2011. This agitation probably led to the then government resorting to the use of mercenaries. Unfortunately, apart from the huge monies expended on the project, the situation worsened. Now, they are at it again.

'As the security situation in Borno State deteriorates, a Committee of Elders and Leaders of Thought has joined the various appeals on the Federal Government to immediately withdraw armed soldiers from the streets of Maiduguri and environs.

In the press statement, dated 12 July 2011, the Committee accused the soldiers of arson, murder, looting and raping of young girls.

It described as “grossly misplaced and shuttered,” the government’s calculation that the intervention of the military in the conflict might bring the situation under control.

The Committee said that the presence of thousands of weapon brandishing soldiers on the streets of Maiduguri has turned the situation into the worst nightmare Maiduguri has ever seen, with the soldiers shooting and killing hundreds of youth for no reason other than that they are young people.

The Committee also had a message for the Boko Haram militants. “We call on the members of the Ahlus Sunnah lid da’awati wal jihaad (Yaanaa) to please see the current human suffering of fellow Muslims and look for alternative ways of pursuing their demand.”

It also asked the government to go into “honest and positive dialogue” with the militants as they have already made their demands public' - BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK, JUL 14, 2011

Now:
It is the same elders that called for the withdrawal of Soldiers due to unethical practices in 2011 that had accused the army in 2018 of check points malpractices; in 2019 alleged attack on the governor's convoy that are now shouting there are not enough Soldiers in the NE, thereby demanding for mercenaries. Was it mercenaries that liberated their towns from Boko Haram? Was it private military contractors that brought them home from IDP Camps or was it their local youths that protected them at the camps. This just goes to show how inconsistent and unappreciative people are.

The difference in the security situation between 2011 and now is crystal clear however during the period, these people had not stopped agitating for one thing or the other in their efforts not to appreciate the government. Of recent, they are known to have bellowed the insufficiency of the troops within their towns expecting soldiers to be deployed at everyone's backyard. Their grouses, thus associated, had always been targeted at the army rather than the civil authorities and security agencies constitutionally responsible for such civil duties. Rather than appreciating the military and government of PMB for creating a better environment for returning them home from their various IDP Camps, they portray an ungrateful nature, never repenting in their hypocrisy. In actual fact, it is the submission of a research that their attitude may be a tactical effort to demoralise the fighting troops while psychologically supporting the insurgents. It concluded that until a change in attitude is visibly displayed and noted by military authorities, the activities of the multinational terrorist groups may continue in this axis for a long time.

Alh. Aminu Tukur Appreciates Buratai For Restoring Security Situation In Katsina

DANIEL BANJO SPEAKS

"There is general misunderstanding of what insurgency and terrorism entail.  There is likelihood of terrorism persisting in Nigeria for another 20 years. It only depends on the level of escalation and the appropriate responses by all stakeholders  both civil and military authorities. Also by both local in international actors. Citizens responsibility is equally important and imperative. All must cooperate to contain the lingering insecurity.  Let there be collective action and responsibility"


Lt. Gen. TY Buratai


My Take: 


Above quote was all the COAS posited but unguided tongues started wagging; chirping on issues they lack skill about; bellowing on facts they are least knowledgeable on and totally do not understand. Gullible Nigerians, normally swayed easily by falsehood and fake stories thus unable to decipher truths. 

What the COAS stated can be simply discernible by an unbiased and open hearted person as seeking the cooperation of all Nigerians for a quick end to the deadly activities of the remnants of a defeated but living coalition of varying Islamic Extremist operating within and outside our borders. The ISIL/ISWAP/BH multinational group. 

Again, hear him: "There is likelihood of terrorism persisting in Nigeria for another 20 years" LIKELIHOOD is the key word therein, he didn't say that it would last for the years. Let us not forget that before he was appointed as COAS, over two third land areas of three states were under the control of BHT with the whole of Borno less only a part of Maiduguri when the governor came on air visibly crying. The mission giving to him, in May 2015, to ensure the sovereignty of Nigeria was accomplished within months. By December of same year, BHT claim on any landed part of the country became history. The monsters hydra head had been cut unfortunately, we allowed the legs to live by harbouring and nurturing them. 'We' implies the inhabitants of the locales, who one way or the other fell into the ploy, either through fear or coercion.


 Again, he continued: "It only depends on the level of escalation and the appropriate responses by all stakeholders  both civil and military authorities. Also by both local in international actors. Citizens responsibility is equally important and imperative. All must cooperate to contain the lingering insecurity.  Let there be collective action and responsibility"


The turanshi above is not ambiguous, it simply infer that the period of terrorism's presence in our country is dependent on its activities, which can only escalate if we do not denounce it, and the appropriate responses to its activities. He thenafter as he said three years back requested of us all to cooperate with the security agencies to contain the disgruntled elements. I AM STILL WONDERING WHAT IS NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD ABOUT HIS PRONOUNCEMENT. 

Again, he has stated the obvious taking into cognizance how terrorism had prevailed in some countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Kenya, Ethiopia among others. In one of these countries, terrorism had prevailed since 1979. Uptill date, we still have instances of terrorism in France and UK. Domestic terrorism is a near daily affair in USA more so before the present POTUS. 

In summary, our hardworking, skillful and focused COAS was only warning us of the possibility of terrorism continuing in our beloved nation if we all do not see security as a collective responsibility. 

Please let us all shine our eyes and report any suspicious person.

WARNING TO INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES SUPPORTING AND COLLABORATING WITH BOKO HARAM/ISWAP TERRORISTS

The Theatre Command, Operation LAFIYA DOLE has reliable information that despite the obvious implications and the dangers of collaborating with Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists and other criminal elements in the society, some unscrupulous elements engage in it. The level of collaboration and support ranged from providing information and intelligence on troops and law abiding citizens, to logistics supply and trading with the terrorists. In particular, certain communities in the general areas of Benisheik, Jakana, Mainok, Magumeri, Gajiram and Gubio, all in Borno State have been identified as harbouring these unpatriotic and heartless criminal elements. This account for high level of terrorists activities and general insecurity that results in casualties in those areas.

Consequently, the Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE wishes to inform all those involved in these dastardly acts to stop it forthwith. Anyone caught will face the full wrath of the law as we will not tolerate anyone sabotaging our concerted counterterrorism and counterinsurgency efforts through collaboration with the Boko Haram terrorists.

We may also be compelled to come out hard on any community or groups that support or collaborate with terrorists in any way or form. or act as buffer or harbour zone to these criminals.

We also wish to warn all groups or communities hobnobbing with Boko Haram/ISWAP to sever such relations or the military takes drastic action against such defaulters.

You are please requested to disseminate this information through your medium to the general public.
Thank you for your usual cooperation.
