“The Curse Breaker’s Blueprint: Joshua Iginla’s Power-Packed Message from South Africa”



At the heart of the Harvest of Miracle Conference (Day 3) held in South Africa, Prophet Joshua Iginla delivered a stirring and spiritually electrifying sermon titled “How to Break Out of Curses.” The prophetic encounter was not just a sermon—it was a divine unveiling of keys to personal liberation from long-standing ancestral, parental, and self-inflicted curses. With biblical precision and revelatory depth, Prophet Iginla laid out spiritual principles to break the chains of bondage and restore destinies.

Below is a deep dive into the central truths he delivered:


1. Apply the Hammer of the Word of God

Key Scripture: Hebrews 4:12; John 1:1-4

Prophet Iginla began by emphasizing the irreplaceable role of God’s Word as a weapon of liberation. Quoting Hebrews 4:12, he described the Word as a living and powerful sword—a divine hammer capable of smashing generational curses into irrelevance. According to him, the Word is not passive; it actively pierces, dissects, and reconstructs destinies.

“The Word of God is God Himself translated into language. You can't carry the life of God and be subdued by curses,” he declared.



He challenged believers to incubate themselves in the Word until the Word becomes flesh in their lives (John 1:1–4). Whether the curse was deserved or unjust, the Word—if engaged properly—will hammer it into pieces.

Takeaway: To break out of curses, soak your life daily in the Scriptures. Recite it, meditate on it, declare it—let the Word do spiritual surgery.




2. Engage the Force of Prayer

Key Scripture: Luke 18:1

Prophet Iginla likened prayer to spiritual artillery that disarms curses operating in secrecy or in public. Curses thrive in silence; prayer destroys their breeding ground.


“You can't pray and remain cursed. A man of prayer is a man of power,” he said.



He reminded the audience of Jesus' parable on the necessity of continual prayer (Luke 18:1), underscoring that persistent, violent, faith-driven prayer dismantles spiritual verdicts issued against a person’s lineage.

Takeaway: Don’t just pray occasionally—make prayer a lifestyle. Curses retreat when a person dwells in the atmosphere of divine communication.




3. Walk in Forgiveness

Key Scripture: Matthew 6:14–15

One of the most heartfelt moments in the message came as Prophet Iginla addressed the poison of unforgiveness. Whether you are seeking forgiveness or granting it, bitterness is a spiritual magnet for curses.

> “Forgiveness is not just for them; it's your jailbreak,” he warned.



He explained that unforgiveness delays divine intervention. When you forgive, you align with God’s mercy—activating divine pardon and freedom from curse-based consequences.

Takeaway: Forgive swiftly. Harboring offense is like nurturing your own prison. Mercy flows where forgiveness is present.




4. Understand and Undo Parental Curses

Key Scripture: Ephesians 6:2–4

Moving into deeper waters, Prophet Iginla highlighted that parental curses—especially those spoken by biological or spiritual parents—are some of the most potent and dangerous forms of curses.

“A prophet can pray for you, but if your parent cursed you, go back and make peace,” he admonished.



He addressed children who have turned against their parents due to offenses, urging them to seek reconciliation. According to him, honor unlocks destiny, and dishonor invites spiritual blockage. Even imperfect parents deserve respect—not necessarily because of their actions, but because of their divine position.

Takeaway: Don’t trade your future for the satisfaction of revenge. Reconcile with your parents. That act alone may cancel years of spiritual delay.




Avoid Being a Curse to Yourself

Not all curses come from external forces—some are self-inflicted, Prophet Iginla revealed. People who engage in destructive behaviors, dishonor their spiritual lineage, or handle their lives carelessly often curse themselves unknowingly.

“When you disconnect from those assigned to help your destiny, you plug into frustration,” he stated.



He warned spiritual sons and daughters to never dishonor their spiritual covering, as doing so cuts them off from prophetic blessings. Likewise, believers who self-sabotage through sin, fear, and laziness must repent and align themselves with divine purpose.

Takeaway: Examine yourself. Are you living in a way that invites curses? Shift today.





As he concluded, Prophet Joshua Iginla released a thunderous prayer:

“I break to pieces every chain of curses released to tie and frustrate your destiny. Any blanket of curses covering your future is removed. In Jesus' mighty name!”



The atmosphere was charged, and many in the auditorium experienced instant breakthroughs, with testimonies of curses being broken and destinies realigned.



Final Thoughts

Curses are real, but they are not permanent. In this powerful session, Prophet Joshua Iginla made it clear: You don’t break curses through emotion or logic—you break them through divine strategy. Engage the Word, persist in prayer, walk in forgiveness, honor your roots, and live wisely.

The chains will break. The curse will be reversed. And your life will reflect the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow.

CONSEQUENCES OF MILITARY DEFEAT OR FAILURE
By Maj. Gen. U.I. Mohammed (Rtd), mni

The Nigerian Armed Forces are currently engaged in multiple operations across the country to rid our nation of insurgents, kidnappers, bandits, secessionists, and other hostile elements bent on destabilizing our country. While many victories are being recorded, it is only natural that there are also setbacks, operational reversals, and occasional failures.

History reminds us of the grave consequences that can follow the collapse of a nation’s military. We all witnessed the fall of the Syrian Armed Forces, which led to the disintegration of the Assad regime. In Libya, the armed forces were overrun, Gaddafi fled the presidential palace, and was eventually captured and brutally executed. Saddam Hussein suffered a similar fate—after his military was subdued, he went into hiding, was later captured, humiliated, tried, and executed.

Few Nigerians fully comprehend the implications if our Armed Forces were ever defeated. The consequences of such a failure would be dire, widespread, and far-reaching. As someone who witnessed the collapse of Somalia firsthand in 1993, following the fall of Siad Barre, I saw a once stable country descend into lawlessness, where anarchy reigned, and the people suffered immensely.

If Nigeria’s military were ever defeated, the following catastrophic consequences are likely to unfold:

The President, Governors, Senators, and all public office holders—from federal to local levels—would lose their positions.

All government institutions and agencies would cease to function.

Criminals, insurgents, and violent groups would become de facto rulers.

Cities, towns, and critical infrastructure would fall into the hands of armed gangs.

Businesses would shut down due to insecurity, arson, and lawlessness.

Citizens—politicians, business leaders, professionals—would flee or seek refuge in IDP camps or neighbouring countries.

Schools, from primary to universities, would close indefinitely.

Banks and financial institutions would collapse; savings would be lost as the naira becomes worthless or unrecognized.

Basic services like electricity and water would vanish due to the breakdown of public utilities.

Property ownership would be rendered meaningless, as legal documents like Certificates of Occupancy would no longer hold value.

A brutal society would emerge—where might is right, jungle justice reigns, and the vulnerable suffer.

Cars, homes, and valuables would be forcefully taken over by criminals.

Women and children would suffer untold hardship, including rape and exploitation.

Armed gangs would control territories, dictating laws and meting out violence without accountability.

Correctional facilities would be breached; dangerous criminals would be unleashed into society.

Families would be torn apart—husbands, wives, and children separated or lost.

Prominent individuals would be stripped of their possessions; criminals would lay claim to their homes, cars, and even family members.

Hunger and famine would follow, as farms are abandoned and markets destroyed.

Drug abuse, gangsterism, and prostitution would become widespread.

Family life, social order, and human dignity would collapse.

These devastating scenarios are not presented to cause panic but to awaken our collective consciousness. Nigerians must support the Armed Forces and appreciate the weight of responsibility they carry. Our political leadership must do everything possible to empower and equip our military to fulfil its constitutional role of defending the nation from all enemies—foreign and domestic.

I do not believe that the Nigerian Armed Forces will be defeated. But I urge every citizen, every institution, and every leader to play their part. Let this be a call to patriotism, to unity, and to the unflinching resolve to end insecurity and preserve the future of our beloved country.

Even My Spiritual Father Abandoned Me’ — Pastor CC Israel Breaks Silence on Divorce, Abuse, and Redemption




“I died. But I’m alive again. My ministry died. But it’s alive again. Because God never left—even when everyone else did.”


These are the haunting yet healing words of Pastor CC Israel, founder of Inspiration Community Gospel Centre (ICGC) in Abuja, as he finally speaks out about the darkest chapter of his life—a marriage marred by violence, a ministry drowned in silence, and a pastor nearly buried by shame, suicide, and betrayal.


In an unfiltered, emotional, and brutally honest confession, Pastor Israel takes the mask off the pulpit to reveal the bleeding man behind the mic.


A Marriage That Shattered the Man

The year was 2017. On the outside, Pastor CC Israel was an emerging spiritual voice. But behind closed doors, he was dying silently.

From physical abuse—even before the wedding—to emotional and psychological torment, the marriage he once prayed for turned into a daily battlefield. “She slapped me just a week before our wedding,” he recalls. “I thought love would conquer it, but that was just the beginning of horror.”

Despite sacrificing everything—including selling his only car to fund 99% of the marital demands—he was constantly told he wasn’t “man enough.” Every morning, he woke up afraid—not of demons, but of domestic rage.


Silence, Shame, and Suicide
Bound by fear of religious backlash and societal mockery, Pastor Israel hid everything.

“How do you tell people your wife beats you? A pastor, no less?” So he endured it alone. Until he could no longer bear the weight.

Then came the night he drank alcohol for the first time in his life—a desperate escape from going home. That night, he blacked out in Onitsha and woke up in Aba, transported by intoxication and pain.

From there, suicide seemed like mercy. “I thought, if I died, everyone would be free.”

He tried to end it. Not once, not twice—but three times.



The CD That Saved His Life

On the third suicide attempt, ready to die, he decided to take one last walk through his house. That's when he stumbled across a dusty CD of Bishop Noel Jones, a voice he hadn’t listened to in years.

He played it.

The first words were no coincidence—they were prophetic precision:

“There’s a man of God watching me from West Africa. You’re about to take your life because of your marriage. God says don’t die yet…”

The power came back suddenly—after weeks of darkness in the entire estate—just long enough for the message to play. Then it went off again.

He was knocked unconscious by a strange force and woke up hours later. The message could never be found again, not even on replay.

God had interrupted his funeral.


When the Church Closed Its Doors

With new courage, Pastor Israel ended the toxic marriage—but the cost was devastating.

When the news of his divorce broke, his world collapsed. “Doors I helped build were slammed in my face. The ministers I trained ignored me. Even my spiritual father—whom I defended at all costs—cut me off.”

He tried reaching him, calling, texting—silence.

“He blocked every channel of access. Even told his followers not to give me his number. That rejection almost killed me more than the abuse did.”

His reputation? Gone.
His ministry? Abandoned.
His friendships? Destroyed.

All for telling the truth… too late.


From Ashes to Assignment
Years passed. Pain lingered. But mercy triumphed.

Today, Pastor CC Israel is slowly rebuilding—not with fame, but with grace. “I am no longer trying to impress anyone. I am just grateful to be alive.”

His ministry may have died—but like Lazarus, God called it back.

Now, he speaks for every man, every minister, every misjudged soul silently bleeding in the name of appearances and religion.


His Message to the Broken and Burdened
“There’s life after divorce. There’s ministry after failure.
There’s still a purpose after pain.
God’s plan for you is bigger than your failed marriage.”

To those contemplating suicide, to ministers hiding in shame, to leaders abandoned after one mistake—his life is now their letter of hope.


A Final Word to the Church
Pastor Israel’s story isn’t just personal—it’s prophetic.

It’s a call for the church to stop killing its wounded, to stop demanding perfection, and to create a safe place for struggles behind the collars.

“Let us not be quick to throw stones when one of us falls.
Let us not forget that even broken pastors are still God’s sonssons


Pastor CC Israel Today
Serving as the lead pastor of Inspiration Community Gospel Centre (ICGC), Abuja, Pastor Israel now ministers with deeper compassion, reaching out to hurting men, broken ministers, and survivors of marital trauma.

He didn’t just survive for himself—he survived for you.

“Don’t end it. God is not finished with you.”

Tukur Buratai: Soldier. Scholar. Statesman. Symbol of Strategic Leadership

By Femi Oyewale




Abuja, Nigeria — In the turbulent theater of Nigeria’s evolving history, there are men who react to change — and then there are those who engineer it. Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai (Rtd) stands boldly in the latter category. Soldier. Scholar. Strategist. Diplomat. Thinker. His name is not merely embroidered on military fatigues — it is engraved in the fabric of Nigeria’s national security, educational development, and international diplomacy.



THE MAN WHO THINKS BEFORE THE MARCH

Behind every battle plan and security operation led by Buratai is an intellect shaped by global exposure, refined by academic excellence, and sharpened by decades of high-stakes decision-making.

A product of the prestigious Nigerian Defence Academy, he complemented his military training with a BA in History from the University of Maiduguri, a Master’s in Philosophy (Security Studies) from the Bangladesh National Defence College, and another Master’s in Strategic Studies from the University of Ibadan.


“War is not just fought on the battlefield. The war of the mind, the war of ideology — that is where true victory lies.” — Lt. Gen. T.Y. Buratai (Rtd)



INTELLECTUAL RESOURCEFULNESS: INK BEFORE THE SWORD


Buratai’s greatest asset may not be his medals, but his mind. He is the visionary behind the Tukur Buratai Research Centre (TBRC) in Keffi, Nasarawa State — a policy think-tank where national security, leadership, good governance, and youth innovation converge.

He also lectures across strategic institutions and has authored key publications on asymmetric warfare, civil-military relations, and insurgency — creating a library of doctrine that will influence African security policy for decades.



“In Buratai, Nigeria had not just a General, but a national philosopher in boots.” — Prof. Muhammad Ibn Yusuf, TBRC Fellow


EDUCATION AS A WEAPON FOR PEACE

Buratai believes firmly that education neutralizes radicalism. This belief birthed the Nigerian Army University Biu (NAUB) — the first military-civilian university in sub-Saharan Africa — bringing access to education, especially to youths in Borno State who are vulnerable to extremist ideologies.

The university focuses on science, security, and strategic studies, producing not only job-ready graduates but nation-ready thinkers.



POLITICAL SAVVY WITHOUT PARTISAN CHAOS


Unlike others who become political gladiators post-retirement, Buratai has played a quiet, influential role in Nigeria’s power corridors. As a senior statesman, he has guided successive administrations, provided confidential advisory on national security, and resisted the temptation of political noise.

He has become a kingmaker of ideas, not just candidates — shaping minds more than manifestos.



INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY AND STRATEGIC GLOBAL INFLUENCE


Buratai served as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, using military diplomacy to stabilize cross-border relations, secure intelligence cooperation, and build trust in the West African security corridor.

His attendance at United Nations peace dialogues, AU security roundtables, and ECOWAS military summits elevated Nigeria’s presence in global conflict resolution efforts.


“Buratai redefined what it means to represent Nigeria abroad — with strategy, stature, and sincerity.” — Ambassador Geoffrey Bawa



A LIVING BLUEPRINT FOR POST-MILITARY NATION BUILDING


Buratai remains one of the few African generals who retired without scandal, without indictment, and with even greater influence in peace than in war. He exemplifies what post-service leadership should be — responsible, visionary, and generational in impact.

He continues to mentor young Nigerians, fund scholarships, and support the reintegration of ex-service members through productive civilian life.



THE GENERAL WHO NEVER RETREATS

In a country desperate for ethical leadership and intellectual depth, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai (Rtd) is not only a man of the past — he is a living force of the future. His ideas, institutions, and impact speak louder than any parade or promotion.

Buratai is not just a military name — he is Nigeria’s proof that leadership, when built on discipline and vision, can change the world.

From Nigeria to the World: How Temitayo Oluwaseun Jejeniwa's Research is Shaping Global Financial Integrity

By: Adigun Akintunde

Ile-Ife, Nigeria – The groundbreaking research of Temitayo Oluwaseun Jejeniwa, Chief Accountant and Counter-Fraud Expert at the United Nations African Regional Centre for Space Science Technology Education English (UN-ARCSSTEE), is providing innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing financial governance challenges. His extensive portfolio of peer-reviewed publications offers actionable insights that are transforming fraud prevention, digital finance, and ethical governance across continents, particularly in emerging economies where financial transparency is most critical.

Jejeniwa's research provides critical frameworks for combating financial fraud while promoting inclusive digital transformation. His 2024 study "The Role of Ethical Practices in Accounting" (Finance & Accounting Research Journal) establishes best practices for corporate governance that help institutions mitigate compliance risks. Similarly, "Standardizing Compliance Practices across AML, ESG, and Transaction Monitoring" (Journal of Frontiers in Multidisciplinary Research) presents a global blueprint for financial institutions to strengthen anti-money laundering (AML) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance. These works are particularly vital for developing economies seeking to align with international financial integrity standards.

A key theme across Jejeniwa's research is the strategic use of technology to enhance financial systems. His 2024 paper "AI Solutions for Developmental Economics" (International Journal of Advanced Economics) explores how artificial intelligence can expand financial inclusion and reduce poverty, offering policymakers a roadmap for implementation. Meanwhile, "A Comprehensive Review of AI's Impact on Modern Accounting" (Computer Science & IT Research Journal) provides crucial insights into how automation is reshaping auditing and financial reporting. These studies are helping banks, governments, and SMEs worldwide transition to more efficient, fraud-resistant financial systems.

Jejeniwa also addresses cross-border governance challenges, with research that fosters international collaboration. His 2024 study "Conceptualizing E-Government Initiatives: Lessons from Africa-US Collaborations" (International Journal of Applied Research in Social Sciences) identifies best practices for digital governance that can be adapted globally. Additionally, "Theoretical Perspectives on Digital Transformation in Financial Services" (Finance & Accounting Research Journal) compares fintech advancements in Africa and the U.S., providing a benchmark for emerging markets. These works are bridging gaps between developed and developing financial ecosystems.

With over 20 high-impact publications, Jejeniwa's research is redefining financial governance in the digital age. From fraud detection models to AI-powered auditing frameworks, his work equips institutions worldwide with tools to enhance transparency, reduce risk, and foster sustainable growth. As cyber fraud and financial crimes evolve, Jejeniwa's evidence-based solutions ensure that Africa—and the world—are better prepared for the future of finance.

Global Impact Highlights:
✔ Fraud Prevention – His risk-based audit models help banks detect financial misstatements (2022, International Journal of Social Science Exceptional Research)
✔ Digital Transformation – Frameworks for automating public sector budgeting (2023, Shodhshauryam Journal)

✔ Financial Inclusion – AI-driven solutions for poverty alleviation (2024, International Journal of Advanced Economics)
✔ Cross-Border Compliance – Standardized AML/ESG practices for global institutions (2024, Journal of Frontiers in Multidisciplinary Research)

Jejeniwa's research doesn't just advance academic discourse—it delivers real-world tools that are making financial systems more secure, equitable, and resilient worldwide.

President Buhari’s Belief in Our Armed Forces Led to Successful Reclaiming of Territories Previously Held by Terrorists Groups - Buratai


Buhari’s death marks the end of an era defined by uncommon dedication to nation-building, resolute leadership, and steadfast devotion to the ideals of honesty, integrity, and patriotism


Former Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai has recounted as a mark of tribute that under Buhari's leadership and with his belief in Nigerian Armed Forces' mission, the military successfully reclaimed all territories previously held by Boko Haram and made significant strides in the broader counterterrorism, anti-banditry and anti-kidnapping efforts across the country.


These accomplishments, according to General Buratai, are a direct reflection of President Buhari’s firm and visionary leadership.


In a condolence message signed by General Buratai, he said Nigeria has lost one of its greatest sons, and the world has lost a statesman of principle and conviction.


According to General Buratai, President Buhari’s death marks the end of an era defined by uncommon dedication to nation-building, resolute leadership, and steadfast devotion to the ideals of honesty, integrity, and patriotism.


"It is with profound sorrow and a deep sense of personal and national loss that I mourn the passing of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who departed this life earlier today at the age of 82 in London, United Kingdom"

"I remain eternally grateful for the trust and confidence President Buhari placed in me when he appointed me Chief of Army Staff at a most critical time in our nation’s history on 13 July 2015"


"With his clear strategic direction and consistent support, I was able to lead the Nigerian Army through a historic transformation. The military became more professional, better trained, and better equipped"

"His later appointment of me as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Benin further demonstrated his enduring confidence in my service to our great nation"

"In this solemn moment, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the immediate and extended family of the late President; to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, his worthy successor; to His Royal Highness, the Emir of Daura; to the good people of the Daura Emirate on the passing of their illustrious son; to the Government and the good people of Katsina State; to all Nigerians; and indeed, to humanity at large. We are all united in grief over this irreparable loss"
The Former Nigerian Ambassador to Benin Republic also said President Muhammadu Buhari's legacy of integrity, impeccable character, simplicity, discipline, and patriotism will continue to inspire generations of leaders and citizens alike.


"The nation he loved and served so selflessly will never forget him. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, reward his good deeds, and grant his noble soul Aljannatul Firdaus" stated General Buratai.

Prophecy Fulfilled: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s Shocking Revelation on Olubadan’s Death and Texas Flood Comes to Pass

July 2025 – In a striking fulfillment of a divine warning, the recent passing of the Olubadan and the devastating floods in Texas have brought renewed attention to the prophetic words of Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, given just weeks earlier in June.

In a prophetic message delivered in June 2025, Prophet Aitafo declared:

"I saw a very high monarch joining his ancestors very soon. He is aged but needs to go and rest."

This solemn message has now found chilling fulfillment with the confirmed passing of the Olubadan of Ibadanland—an esteemed and aged royal father—who was widely respected for his wisdom, cultural leadership, and long reign.

But that wasn't all the prophet saw.

In the same month, Prophet Aitafo also issued a global prophetic warning regarding water disasters:

"I see water rising. There will be strange and dangerous floods across nations. Let us pray against a global water disaster."

Tragically, the United States has since been hit with record-breaking floods in Texas, causing massive destruction, displacing thousands, and attracting global headlines. Emergency crews continue to battle the effects of the storm, as residents grapple with loss and recovery.

These prophetic fulfillments have stirred reactions across faith communities, with many acknowledging the precision and urgency of Prophet Aitafo’s divine insight. Believers are now paying closer attention to his voice, urging governments and individuals to take prophetic warnings seriously—not just as spiritual utterances but as divine instructions.

As the world watches these events unfold, Prophet Aitafo remains a watchman on the tower—calling for prayer, repentance, and preparedness.

“The Lord still speaks. Are we listening?”

Prophecy Unfolds: Prophet Aitafo Predicted Israel-Iran Skirmish, Kenya Unrest, and Dantata’s Death



In a season where the world hangs on the edge of uncertainty, renowned seer Prophet Kingsley Aitafo has once again stirred global attention with confirmation of a series of prophetic declarations—urgent, piercing, and laden with dire warnings for nations and leaders alike.

Speaking during a recent prophetic ministration, the Nigerian-born prophet did not mince words as he issued a sober call for prayer against the outbreak of a Third World War. According to Prophet Aitafo, “We must not stop praying. I see a mini war—what looks like a spark that could explode into global conflict. I saw Israel and Iran clashing.”

His words come in the wake of escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly involving Israel and Iran, whose decades-old enmity is now being tested by rising military and intelligence operations on both sides. Aitafo’s prophetic insight adds a spiritual lens to a political crisis that could indeed spiral into wider warfare if unchecked.


Warning to Kenya: A Brewing Storm


Prophet Aitafo also turned his prophetic gaze to East Africa—specifically Kenya, where he warned of a coming wave of revolutionary unrest. In his words:

“Kenya must pray. I see the spirit of revolution rising among the people. What is to come may shake the foundations of leadership and governance.”

This revelation aligns with growing discontent among segments of the Kenyan populace over economic pressure, tax reforms, and governance challenges. Aitafo’s warning is not just a forecast but a spiritual alarm urging intercession, preparation, and national dialogue.



A Chilling Prophecy Fulfilled: The Death of Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata


Perhaps the most jarring of Prophet Aitafo’s revelations was his prediction regarding the passing of Nigerian business mogul and philanthropist, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata. According to his prophecy issued earlier in the year, the prophet foresaw the death of the billionaire in June 2025—a message that many followers now view with awe and reverence, as the prediction aligns with recent reports of the elder statesman's demise.

Dantata, a revered patriarch in the Nigerian business community and a custodian of legacy wealth in Northern Nigeria, passed away peacefully according to family sources. Prophet Aitafo’s earlier utterance now serves as a solemn reminder of the thin line between the physical and spiritual, and the prophet’s consistent track record of accurate foresight.



Prophecy in the Public Square

Prophet Kingsley Aitafo continues to emerge as a prophetic voice whose revelations transcend borders. His messages are not just spiritual glimpses but urgent calls to nations and leaders to act—through diplomacy, prayer, and moral leadership.

As the global community watches the Israel-Iran tensions unfold, and as Kenya wrestles with its democratic challenges, Prophet Aitafo's voice stands firm, reminding the world: Heaven speaks before earth reacts.

Tinubu’s Greatest Failure: Insecurity Has Made Nigeria a Killing Field.

By George Omagbemi Sylvester

In a nation where blood flows more freely than clean water and the average citizen sleeps with one eye open, the conversation about Nigeria’s survival has shifted from economic growth and job creation to the fundamental right to life. Security is not just a policy issue; it is the very foundation of governance. Sadly, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has utterly failed in this most sacred duty.

There is no peace in the Northeast. There is no safety in the Northwest. Blood flows in the North-Central. The South-South is bleeding from oil theft and continous violence. The Southeast is under siege from unknown gunmen and militarization. The Southwest (Tinubu’s own region) isn’t exempt either with kidnapping and violent crimes now part of daily life. Who exactly is safe in Nigeria today?

Let’s be clear: nothing is more important than the protection of lives and properties. Even the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) is clear in Section 14(2)(b): "The security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government." If the government cannot protect its people, then that government has failed. And President Tinubu, despite his flowing agbada and grand political image as “Jagaban,” has failed woefully.

“Na Who Dey Alive Dey Chop”
A popular Nigerian phrase that captures this sentiment is: “Na who dey alive dey chop.” You can’t talk about inflation, minimum wage, education or infrastructure when you're constantly looking over your shoulder, wondering if you’ll be the next victim of kidnapping or mass murder. Insecurity has destroyed markets, closed schools and emptied farmlands. Farmers in Zamfara, Borno, Plateau and Benue can no longer go to their farms. The roads between Kaduna and Abuja are death traps. The forests from Ondo to Enugu are controlled by bandits. Nowhere is safe.

How can a government that cannot protect lives talk about attracting foreign investment? What investor would risk their capital in a country where entire communities are wiped out overnight? And yet, this administration keeps spinning illusions about economic recovery while citizens are slaughtered like animals.

Defenders of the Indefensible
Some political loyalists and sycophants continue to defend Tinubu using logic that insults common sense. They tell us to be patient. They say insecurity didn’t start with Tinubu, but did he not campaign with the promise to restore security? Did he not swear to protect every Nigerian? If you inherit a house on fire, you don’t fan the flames, you put it out! Two years into his presidency, we’re still hearing excuses while mass graves multiply across the country.

Defending Tinubu’s inaction using history or regional politics is dangerous and dishonest. If the Taliban were to attack Nigeria tomorrow and the Tinubu government allows them to slaughter Nigerians without resistance, will we again blame religion or foreign influence or will we hold the Commander-in-Chief accountable?

This is not a religious issue. It is not an ethnic problem. It is a question of leadership. And in this critical area, Tinubu has failed to lead, failed to inspire and most importantly, failed to protect.

Grim Facts Don’t Lie
Let’s look at the numbers. According to SBM Intelligence, over 4,556 Nigerians were killed and more than 3,000 abducted in 2023 alone; Tinubu’s first year in office. Amnesty International reported that in Kaduna, Plateau and Benue states, coordinated attacks on villages continue with little or no military intervention. In March 2024, over 300 people were killed in Plateau within a week. And yet, no national day of mourning was declared. No military heads were sacked. Life went on as if Nigerian lives meant nothing.

Security spending under Tinubu has skyrocketed with over ₦3.25 trillion allocated to defense and security in the 2024 budget, yet the insecurity situation has only worsened. Where is the money going? Why are our soldiers underpaid, under-equipped and overstretched? Why are bandits better armed than the police? Why are communities forming vigilante groups to do the job the government is paid to do?
“It is better to have no government than to have one that kills its own people through negligence.” ~ Femi Falana, SAN

No Excuses, Just Accountability
Leadership is not about sharing palliatives or jetting around the world for photo ops. It is about responsibility. Nigeria is not a playground for political experiments. It is a nation of over 200 million human lives. Tinubu should not be spending more time in Paris and London than in Borno, Zamfara or Benue.

In April 2025, President Tinubu boasted during a foreign investment summit that "Nigeria is open for business." But the truth on the ground is grim. Foreign companies are shutting down due to insecurity. Telecom masts are being destroyed. Railway lines are vandalized. Schools in the North are closing en masse. Between 2020 and 2024, over 1,500 schoolchildren were abducted by terrorists and under Tinubu, not much has changed.

In the words of former Chief of Defence Staff, General Martin Luther Agwai (rtd): “The country is gradually being taken over by non-state actors while the state folds its arms.”

Citizens Are Losing Hope
Youths are tired. Families are broken. Dreams are buried alongside loved ones in shallow graves. The idea of Nigeria has become a nightmare for too many. From the herdsmen killings in Benue to the communal clashes in Taraba, the terrorist ambushes in Borno to the kidnapping rings in Ekiti, the story is the same: death, destruction and despair.

Even the National Assembly is grumbling. In May 2025, several lawmakers demanded the sack of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and the Service Chiefs, citing failure to tackle escalating insecurity. Yet Tinubu continues to operate in denial, unwilling to admit the rot, unable to inspire confidence.

What Should Tinubu Do?
Enough is enough. President Tinubu must:

Declare a state of emergency on national security; with clear military, intelligence and community policing strategies.

Restructure the Nigerian Police Force to function more autonomously, with proper funding, training and accountability.

Replace non-performing security chiefs, this is not a retirement home.

Engage local communities through civil-military cooperation, dialogue and intelligence sharing.

Publicly address Nigerians every month with real updates on security and not empty rhetoric.

Final Word
To those still defending Tinubu blindly: you are part of the problem. Patriotism does not mean defending failure. It means holding leaders accountable. Nigeria cannot move forward when her citizens are being buried in mass graves while politicians exchange blames and play ethnic cards.

Security is not an optional promise. It is a constitutional obligation. And President Tinubu, so far, has failed to meet that obligation. If nothing changes, history will remember him not as the reformer he claimed to be, but as the man who fiddled while Nigeria burned.

“A nation that cannot protect its citizens has signed its own death warrant.” ~ Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, human rights activist

Nigeria DESERVES better. Nigerians DEMAND better... And we must not rest until we get it.

JUSTICE DENIED: HOW JESAM MICHAEL'S KINDNESS WAS TURNED AGAINST HIM





What began as a promising crypto venture turned into a real-life thriller of betrayal, and alleged corruption. Jesam Michael, the embattled CEO of Afriq Arbitrage System Ltd., now finds himself behind bars—ensnared in a complex web spun from a series of shocking events dating back to 2023.



Shortly after launching his crypto trading platform to public acclaim, Michael’s health took a sudden downturn. Suffering from a critical liver condition, he handed over control of the platform to his trusted lieutenant, Abayomi Oluwasesan.

That trust would prove catastrophic.

With Jesam incapacitated, Abayomi reportedly assumed the worst—that his boss would never return. Acting on that belief, he allegedly looted over $87 million in investors’ funds and vanished when news of Jesam’s recovery surfaced.

Jesam's first port of call was the EFCC. They immediately placed Abayomi's account with over ₦400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million Naira) on post no debit (PND). But facing slow progress, he escalated the matter to Interpol, who eventually arrested Abayomi. A plea bargain followed, with some properties and cash returned. However, a significant portion of the stolen funds was allegedly hidden in a misplaced cold wallet.

Part of the plea deal required Abayomi to retrieve this wallet post-release. When he failed to do so, he was rearrested and charged with criminal theft.


Enter CSP Taiwo: Love, Power, and Alleged Manipulation


During police restructuring, CSP Taiwo Oyewale became the new commander of the IGP Special Investigation Unit (SIU). While reviewing case files, she came in contact with Jesam—and what started as professional interaction quickly evolved into a romantic relationship.

Taiwo, newly posted to Abuja, upon hearing that Jesam had renovated the new SIU office on the 1st floor, force headquarters, requested for accommodation and Jesam offered one of his guest houses. She moved in with her three children and reportedly became a regular visitor at Jesam’s home. The relationship, however, took a controversial turn.

Jesam allegedly assisted Taiwo in making a ₦108 million investment in crypto. When market conditions dipped and losses mounted, she reportedly demanded a full refund—despite the assets being stored in her personal wallet. Jesam transferred ₦108 million to CSP Taiwo's naira account but never received the crypto coins in return.

Things came to a head when Taiwo allegedly requested for 30 plots from land—recovered from Abayomi and located near the Dangote Refinery—claiming it was for the IGP. Jesam declined, fearing it would harm investors' interests.

That decision, sources say, marked the beginning of his undoing.

The romance soured, and Taiwo reportedly turned on Jesam, aligning with Abayomi to exact revenge. Trumped-up charges were drawn up, leading to Jesam's arrest on January 29th, 2025.

Allegations of Abuse and Official Overreach
Following his arrest, Jesam was detained under tight control at Maitama Police Station, then transferred to the notorious SARS facility. His lawyers fought back, filing a fundamental human rights suit against the police.

On February 18, 2025, Justice M.A. Madugu of the High Court of the FCT ruled in Jesam’s favor, ordering his release and restraining the police from re-arresting him without court approval. The court's order was served to all involved, including the IGP.


Yet the police allegedly ignored the court and instead handed Jesam over to the EFCC in an attempt to evade a contempt charge which had just been instituted.

Meanwhile, disturbing details emerged:

Police officer Abiodun Adekunle Fasasi, reportedly enlisted by Taiwo, allegedly underdeclared $100 from the cash seized from Jesam during his airport arrest. Despite no evidence of drugs or arms found during a search of his home, the police issued a press statement linking Jesam to such crimes.

The EFCC connection
The EFCC on taking over the case, first granted Jesam bail late in the evening of 25th February and by 26th morning they already had in their possession a remand order from a magistrate court to keep him for 14 days implying that the bail granted was purely cosmetic and of no value.
Every two weeks, the remand order was renewed and no attempt to charge him to court was made.

Weeks turned to months and with no plans of being charged to court, Jesam again filed for his fundamental human rights enforcement at the federal high court.
The EFCC in response, immediately drafted some charges and filed at the federal high court and used the same to oppose his bail on the fundamental rights case.

The trial of the substantive case has now begun and the futility of the case filed by EFCC has become clear to all.

The Bigger Picture

This saga is more than just a personal downfall. It raises deep questions about abuse of power, the intersection of personal relationships and professional duties, and the integrity of Nigeria’s justice system.

Jesam Michael’s legal team continues to fight for his release, and investors are watching closely—many still unsure whether they’ll ever recover their funds.

It's seems it's going to be season story of truth and revelation. Let's truth prevails

13-Year-Old Nigerian-Born Softball Talent Selected for International Tour – Let’s Make It Happen Together



At just 13 years old, Isaac Solarin has achieved what many only dream of – he’s been selected to represent South Africa on the international stage in the Softball Tour to Prague, scheduled for October 5–14, 2025.

But for Isaac, this is more than just a sporting opportunity. It’s a life-changing moment—a chance to shine, grow, and inspire.

Born to Nigerian parents and raised in South Africa, Isaac has shown remarkable dedication both on and off the field. His exceptional performance at a provincial tournament last year caught the attention of Blue Runnings Sport International (BRSI), a top South African organization that facilitates global exposure for promising young athletes. Partnering with IRT Softball, they extended a rare invitation to Isaac—making him the only Nigerian-born athlete on the team.


A Mother’s Pride, A Community’s Hope

Behind every rising star is a story of quiet sacrifice. For Mrs. Doris Solarin-Ikeri, Isaac’s mother and a widow, the journey has been both challenging and rewarding.

“I’m proud of my boy,” she says. “He’s outstanding in his studies and his extracurriculars. This tour is a reward for his years of discipline and dedication.”

Now, with limited financial resources, she’s appealing to fellow South Africans, Nigerians, and well-wishers worldwide to help raise the R56,000 needed for Isaac to travel, compete, and grow as an international athlete.

This amount covers:

Return flights and airport taxes

Accommodation and meals

Professional coaching

Tournament participation

Team kit and apparel

Travel insurance

Additional costs—like visa fees, passport renewals, and equipment—push the total even higher. As a single mother on a modest income, Mrs. Solarin simply can’t do it alone.



Why Your Support Matters

In a world where many youths lose hope, sports can be a powerful force for transformation. By supporting Isaac, you are:

Investing in the future of African youth

Promoting unity and representation in sport

Encouraging academic and athletic excellence

This is more than a donation—it’s a vote of confidence in a hardworking young boy.

“Every cent counts. You’re not just funding a trip—you’re building a future,” Mrs. Solarin adds.

✅ How You Can Help

Visit Isaac’s official fundraising page and donate here:

If you can’t contribute financially, please share the campaign across your social media networks. Awareness is just as powerful.

📢 Let’s Help Isaac Soar
Let’s show the world what African talent can do when it’s given the right support. Together, we can send Isaac to Prague and help him carry the hopes of many young athletes across the continent.

Be part of his story. Be part of the journey. Support Isaac today.

I see improved security in next 2 years under Tinubu – Ambassador Buratai


Former Chief of Army Staff, retired Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has expressed optimism that the security situation in the country would improve in the next two years of President Bola Tinubu.

Buratai stated this in an interview with newsmen on the sidelines of the 2025 VON Forum on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to the former Ambassador, there is no country that does not have its peculiar challenges, including the western countries.
“However, concerning the security in Nigeria, I foresee much improvement in the next two years of President Bola Tinubu.
“Lessons have been learnt. Insecurity is not something you wished away overnight
“It will not disappear, just like other forms of crimes like rape, armed robbery, pick pockets and others.

These are societal ills that will continue to exist as long as human beings exist.

“So, insecurity is something you continue to handle as they arise.

“I believe that members of the armed forces and other security agencies including the police have taken lessons from the recent challenges.

“And I believe they will rise up to the occasion and deal with it, but also, there should be collaboration of all stakeholders; from federal agencies to the state and local governments to ensure improved security.
“If we depend too much on the Federal Government without us doing our part, that’s where this 2025 VON Forum comes handy; citizen engagement”..

Gen Buratai further explained that in achieving national security, institutional capacity building and manpower development remains very important.

He noted that there are national security policies and national defence policies which need implementation to the letter.

“When executing or implementing it, there is coordination. You need to work with others to achieve more”, Buratai said.

Faith, Discipline and Hard Work Brought Me This Far- Now I’m Building Platforms That Will Outlive Me- AMB. TOSIN MICHEAL OWONIFARI



From the humble streets of Ise-Ekiti to the boardrooms of global influence, Amb. Tosin Michael Owonifari has carved a path defined by resilience, purpose, and visionary leadership. With roots in education, healthcare, and digital empowerment, he has evolved into a trailblazing entrepreneur and global development advocate. As the founder of T21 Global Group and an AU Agenda 2063 Ambassador, his mission is crystal clear — to build enduring platforms that empower generations across Africa and the diaspora. In this exclusive interview, he opens up about his journey, values, challenges, and the future he envisions for Africa and the world.


Tell us something about your background and academic adventure.?

I was born in Ise-Ekiti, a town I carry with pride everywhere I go. I started my education in Nigeria and later continued in the United Kingdom, where I obtained a BSc in Oil and Gas Management (Second Class Upper). Over time, I’ve earned professional qualifications in Education, Internal Quality Assurance, Immigration Law, and most recently, I completed a Strategic Leadership & Ethics Programme at Liverpool Hope University. Education has shaped my path and continues to fuel my growth.



How palatable was your upbringing and family rapport?

I come from a humble, values-driven background where faith, discipline, and hard work were the order of the day. My family may not have had wealth, but we had love, structure, and support. That upbringing built the foundation of who I am today.



Were you ever an employee at the beginning?


Yes, and I’m proud of every stage. I started with cleaning jobs, kitchen porter roles, and even factory work when I first arrived in the UK. Later, I moved into tech as a Software Tester, then worked for over a decade in the NHS across roles like Data Quality Analyst, RTT Validator, Hospital Admin, and System Training. These experiences prepared me to understand people, systems, and leadership from the ground up.




What led you into entrepreneurship?


I saw consistent challenges — youth unemployment, digital skill gaps, healthcare staffing issues, and lack of access to global opportunities. I knew I had to act. So, I started T21 Services in the UK, and from there it expanded to Nigeria, and now operates globally as T21 Global Group.




Give us an overview of your companies?

Under T21 Global, we operate three entities:

🔹 T21 Services (UK)
• RTT Validation & Hospital Admin Training (CPD-certified)
• Remote Job Training & Placement
• NHS Workforce Support
• Immigration Advisory & Recruitment Services
• Civil Service Bootcamps & Public Sector Training
• Digital Inclusion Projects (with UK councils)
• Leadership & Ethics Courses (in partnership with universities)
• Diaspora Engagement & Talent Matching

🔹 T21 Consultancy Services (Nigeria)
• ICT Training & Federal Programmes (e.g., 3MTT)
• Remote Job Hubs & Global Talent Export
• Software & Web Development
• Certification & Testing Centre
• Startup Incubation & Innovation Hub
• Government Contracts & Policy Advisory
• Student Recruitment (UK, Canada, Hungary, Poland)
• Event Management & Capacity Building

🔹 Tosin Owonifari Empowerment Foundation (TOEF)
• Leadership Development & Mentorship
• Youth & Women Empowerment
• Community Development Projects
• Grants & Social Welfare Support
• Civic Engagement & Humanitarian Services

These three arms work hand-in-hand to deliver education, empowerment, employment, and investment.




What’s your present workforce at T21 Global?



We currently engage over 150 professionals globally — this includes permanent staff, part-time consultants, freelance trainers, developers, assessors, and remote workers across the UK, Nigeria, Europe, North America, and parts of Africa.




From Ekiti to the world, how did you break the barriers?


I embraced my origin, not as a limitation but as a source of pride. I combined the values from Ise-Ekiti with global vision. I stayed consistent, kept building relationships, invested in learning, and never gave up — even when doors were shut. Hard work, faith, and purpose broke the barriers.






How easy was it at the beginning?



It was extremely tough. There were moments I had nothing but hope. Rejections, delays, financial struggle — I faced them all. But I kept pushing. I believed that every great vision must pass through the fire before it becomes gold.






How did you overcome the challenges of new terrain that you never anticipated?



I stayed teachable. I listened, partnered wisely, studied new systems, and always stayed open to learning. When I didn’t understand a terrain, I asked for guidance and built relationships with people who did.






Tell us something about your first ever award and how you felt.?



It was an award for my contribution to youth development and digital inclusion. I was surprised and deeply honoured. It reminded me that even when you think no one sees you, your work is making an impact.




How many awards so far? Or you have lost count?



I’ve been blessed with several meaningful awards:
• Fellowship – Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management (CIISM)
• Speak-Up Champion – EKSU Alumni & Student Union
• Outstanding Media Support Award – FIBAN (Ekiti)
• Humanitarian Service Award – 2023
• Ekiti Parapo UK Presidential Award – 2023
• Several others from churches, communities, diaspora groups, and institutions
Every award reminds me to serve better and remain focused.





What’s your source of motivation?


Legacy. I want to build platforms that will outlive me — in people, in policies, and in systems. I’m motivated by the transformation of lives, especially young people who were once overlooked.






Have you ever failed? And how did you get over it?



Yes. I’ve had projects collapse, contracts lost, visa denials, and cash flow struggles. But I don’t let failure stop me. I always step back, learn, regroup, and move forward. Failure is part of the process, not the end of it.





Who is your number one supporter?


My wife, Chief Mrs. Jumoke Owonifari. Her unwavering belief, support, and prayers have been priceless. She’s been with me through every stage, and I’m grateful beyond words.






T21 Global operates on a wider range. How do you cope?


We run with clear systems and trusted leadership across departments. I focus on vision and strategy while my teams handle execution. We use digital platforms, weekly reviews, and regular audits to stay on track across regions.







Your recent Global Award as an AU Agenda 2063 Ambassador — what new terrain is it opening for you?


It’s a gateway to policy, diplomacy, and global development work. As the official AU Agenda 2063 Liaison Officer (UK – Merseyside), I now oversee:
• Investment and diaspora engagement
• Leadership and legislative training
• Talent export and youth development
• Government and NGO collaboration
It’s more than a title — it’s a platform for shaping Africa’s future across continents.




You are gradually becoming a Global African figure. Are you gravitating towards politics in no distance time?


Yes, but not for power — for purpose. I believe public office, when entered with vision and competence, can change lives at scale. If the opportunity comes, I’ll serve with integrity and results, not promises.






Have you been conferred with any chieftaincy title?


Yes, I’ve been honoured with the title of Otunba in an Ekiti community. The official installation will happen soon. I see it as a cultural responsibility to serve, protect, and uplift my people, not just a title.







What new thing is T21 Global cooking?


We are launching:
• A Global Talent Export & Diaspora Registry
• Remote Job Hubs across Nigeria & UK
• A Leadership & Legislative Academy for African public servants
• Diaspora-to-Africa Investment Matchmaking Portal
• Our first Africa Investment & Innovation Summit in the UK
These will shape the future of jobs, policy, and innovation in Africa and beyond.





Who is your hero?


I draw inspiration from values like integrity, service, and resilience — values that have shaped my journey. In global leadership, I admire Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, Barack Obama, and Prof. PLO Lumumba — leaders who lead with courage, wisdom, and a passion for people.

Designed to bridge the gap between information and real-life application, each episode will feature stories of resilience, expert insights, and practical advice to help young people navigate life with clarity and confidence.

“Our young people are gifted, but many are simply not guided,” said Ngozi Okafor. “These programs are my way of reaching out—to say, 'I see you, I believe in you, and here are tools to help you build your future.' It’s not just about being on TV. It’s about starting conversations that lead to transformation.”

Ngozi’s journey in youth empowerment has spanned four continents, beginning in the UK with Hope Worldwide International, supporting vulnerable and homeless youth. In Atlanta, USA, she worked with Junior Achievers, leading business and leadership simulation programs, while also engaging youth in community service through initiatives like Meals on Wheels.

Back in Nigeria, Ngozi’s voice became familiar to thousands through Youth Arena on Armed Forces Radio 107.7 FM, a program that partnered with the Central Bank of Nigeria to teach financial literacy to young Nigerians through engaging broadcasts and workbooks.

Beyond media, Ngozi has directly supported more than 50 young entrepreneurs by providing startup resources such as sewing machines, baking ovens, and seed funding. Her work reflects a lifelong mission: turning inspiration into action.

“This TV project is more than content—it’s a movement,” she added. “We are building a generation that is self-aware, skilled, and ready to lead. And we’re doing it one story, one screen, and one young person at a time.”

Ngozi Okafor’s upcoming television programs promise to fill a critical void in youth development programming and are expected to air on both national and regional networks. Additional details about scheduling and partnerships will be announced soon.

TY BURATAI HUMANITY CARE FOUNDATION LAUDS PRESIDENT TINUBU AND MILITARY LEADERSHIP FOR ELIMINATION OF KEY TERRORIST LIEUTENANT

In a commendatory statement released today, the TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation has praised President Bola Tinubu, the Defense Ministry, and Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Gwabin Musa, Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede alongside other military leaders, for their decisive military operation that led to the elimination of Alhaji Shaudo Alku, a prominent lieutenant of notorious terrorist leader Bello Turji.

Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani Sadaukin Garkuwan Keffi/Betara Biu, the chairman of the Foundation, signed the statement, which praises the theatre command of Operation Fansan Yamma for their dedication and perseverance in the fight against banditry. It also highlights the successful airstrike that was carried out on May 18 as part of Operation Fansan Yamma. This operation targeted terrorist camps situated near Tunfa Primary School in Isa Local Government Area, as confirmed by sources within the Nigerian Air Force.

The Foundation commended General Musa for his strategic military initiatives, which have produced significant results in the ongoing fight against terrorism. “Thousands of bandits have been neutralized, including infamous leaders such as Halilu Sububu,” the statement read.

The Grand Patron of the Foundation, His Excellency Amb Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai CFR (Rtd), former Chief of Army Staff, also expressed his appreciation for the Tinubu Administration and the military leadership for this monumental achievement. He emphasized the importance of sustained military efforts to dismantle terrorist networks and restore peace in the country.

During his tenure as Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen TY Buratai (Rtd) was the longest-serving COAS in Nigeria, facing security threats on all fronts. He effectively utilized the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to liberate towns such as Gamboru Ngala and Baga. His proven counter-insurgency expertise remains invaluable and must guide future operations.

The recent airstrike not only resulted in the death of Alku, who was reported to have crossed from the Niger Republic to Nigeria for a terrorist meeting, but also led to the elimination of several other fighters and suspected commanders in the raid. This operation underscores the Nigerian military’s commitment to enhancing national security and stability.

As the Foundation looks to the future, the Grand Patron remains hopeful that ongoing efforts will continue to pave the way for lasting peace and security across the nation. The TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation stands firm in its support of the military’s mission to protect the lives and livelihoods of Nigerian citizens.

*Amadi Lawrence: The Brand Whisperer Behind Starstation’s Creative Renaissance*

Lagos, Nigeria – In a country teeming with talent and ambition, it takes more than just vision to stand out. It takes grit, strategy, and an instinct for storytelling. These are the qualities that define Amadi Lawrence, the dynamic CEO of Starstation, a fast-rising, top-rated management and media company based in Lagos.

For over a decade, Lawrence has been the unseen hand behind some of Nigeria’s most compelling branding, artist development, and content marketing campaigns. From launching new products to repositioning personalities, his work has consistently revolved around one core belief: stories move people—and people build brands.

> “Since 2011, I’ve worked closely with leading organizations, companies, and high-profile individuals,” Lawrence said. “My goal has always been to help them shape their presence and achieve remarkable growth across advertising, marketing, and public relations. It’s not just about visibility—it’s about impact.”



At the heart of this impact is Starstation, the firm he describes as “the brainchild of absolute passion, years of experience, and utmost dedication.” More than just a consultancy, Starstation is a powerhouse of creativity, branding, and strategic management—blending innovative thinking with deep emotional intelligence to help clients tell their stories in a powerful and authentic way.

> “Starstation is a top-rated innovative management company that helps brands and talented artists rediscover their mission, live their core values, and clarify their positioning,” Lawrence explained. “We are creatives who love telling inspiring stories about the brands we serve.”



From artist and event management to business analysis, brand storytelling, and corporate strategy, the firm delivers a wide spectrum of professional services. And with each project, they aim to go beyond the ordinary.

> “We live in a time where common thinking reigns supreme,” Lawrence said. “At Starstation, we challenge that. We value potential over predictability. We exist to reignite the fire within restless brands—to challenge their status quo and stoke their belief in an uncommon future.”



This future-driven philosophy is evident in the company's track record. Whether crafting compelling content for a campaign, building a disruptive brand identity, or managing an event that leaves a lasting impression, the Starstation team approaches each task with a clarity of purpose—and a hunger to elevate their clients.

Lawrence’s personal journey reflects that same sense of purpose. Having worked in artiste management, content creation, and branding, he has cultivated an instinctive feel for market dynamics and audience psychology.

> “Whether I’m building a brand from scratch or re-energizing an existing one, I always focus on authenticity,” he said. “People can tell when something is real—and when it’s just noise. That’s why our campaigns are built on truth, values, and strategy.”



His style of leadership combines mentorship and innovation. He doesn't just execute projects—he empowers the people behind them. Many of the talents who passed through Starstation have gone on to build solid, independent brands of their own.

> “I believe in collaboration,” he added. “I believe in helping people discover their voice—and amplifying it. That’s what makes the work fulfilling.”



As the digital landscape evolves, Lawrence continues to embrace new trends while staying grounded in storytelling.

> “The tools may change, but the core remains the same,” he said. “People will always connect to stories, values, and vision. That’s what we deliver—every single time.”



For companies, individuals, and talents seeking to rise above the noise, Starstation is more than a service provider—it’s a creative partner and strategic guide. And at its helm is Amadi Lawrence: a man driven by passion, purpose, and the audacity to imagine a future beyond the ordinary.

> “The future,” he concludes, “belongs to the uncommon. That’s why we’re here—to help brands discover that part of themselves and lead with it.”



As a media partner, Starstation continues to shape the narratives that define success in Nigeria’s ever-evolving creative and corporate space—one brand at a time.

Crowned with Honour: Olu of Warri Shines at 100 Most Reputable Africans Awards


In a dazzling celebration of African excellence, tradition met transformation on May 15, 2025, as Reputation Poll International and the Global Reputation Forum hosted the prestigious 100 Most Reputable Africans Awards in South Africa.

From heads of state to cultural icons, the event drew a stellar assembly of leaders redefining Africa’s narrative across governance, business, philanthropy, academia and the arts. But one presence stood tall in both symbolism and stature—His Imperial Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, CFR, the revered Olu of Warri.


Ogiame Atuwatse III was honoured not only as a recipient but also as Special Guest of Honour, lending the event the gravitas of royal elegance. Representing the heritage-rich Warri Kingdom, the monarch stood as a beacon of tradition fused with contemporary leadership.

Dignitaries present included Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, former Deputy President of South Africa and global gender advocate; Nigerian spoken-word artist Maryam Bukar Hassan; African branding expert Thebe Ikalafeng; and other thought leaders like Vumile Msweli, William Wilson, Shilongo Shilongo, and Dr. Tuma Adama Gento Kamara, to name a few.

Also in attendance was Nkosi Zuzifa Buthelezi, representing the Zulu King and serving as Chair of the Kings in Council—affirming the resurgence of traditional institutions in Africa’s developmental journey.


Taking centre stage, the Olu of Warri delivered a powerful keynote that earned thunderous applause and reverberated far beyond the event hall.

“Africa’s renaissance will not come from mimicking foreign models,” he declared.
“It must be forged from within, rooted in our culture, driven by our values and led by men and women of vision and integrity.”

Since his coronation in 2021, Ogiame Atuwatse III has been celebrated for steering a new era of royal leadership—where kingship embraces economic development, diplomacy and social inclusion.

“Traditional institutions are not ornamental. They are foundational,” he said.
“The future of governance in Africa must be Afrocentric.”


In a spirited fireside chat, Dr. Mlambo-Ngcuka and Busie Matsiko, President of the New York Africa Chamber of Commerce, tackled themes of women's empowerment and leadership.

“When we empower women, we do not just change homes; we change economies,” said Mlambo-Ngcuka.
“Africa’s future must be gender-inclusive if we are serious about prosperity.”

Their dialogue emphasized mentorship, inclusion and the need for gender-balanced policymaking.

Voices for Unity and Progress
Pan-African leaders also weighed in with stirring goodwill messages:

Amb. Benjamin Quashie (ECOWAS): “The unity of Africa is not a political option—it is a survival imperative.”

Dr. Martha Namundjebo-Tilahun (Namibia): “You cannot build a continent on corruption and expect prosperity.”

Mrs. Tuma Adama Gento Kamara (Sierra Leone): Called for deeper investment in girls' education, especially in rural communities.

Dr. Sindiswa Mzamo (South Africa): Advocated for equitable healthcare as a pillar of social justice.


Opening the event, Sarah Goroh, ambassador for JetAge Nation Builders, delivered a heartfelt message on the event’s mission.

“Africa is not lacking in excellence; it is often just uncelebrated,” she noted.
“This event affirms that we can define success on our own terms.”

The awards, she said, aim to elevate Africans who embody resilience, competence and transformation.
The 100 Most Reputable Africans list is more than recognition—it's a charge. A moral compass pointing toward a continent shaped by trust, honour and vision.

“Reputation is the currency of trust,” noted Dr. Tonye Rex Idaminabo, founder of Reputation Poll International.

“We must honour those whose lives inspire unity and progress.”



Ogiame Atuwatse III: A New Kind of Monarch
Ogiame’s inclusion on the list cements his standing as one of Africa’s most progressive traditional rulers. With a focus on women’s leadership, youth empowerment and diaspora relations, his reign redefines what it means to rule in modern Africa.

“To rule is to serve,” he said.
“A title is meaningless unless it uplifts those beneath it.”


As the curtain closed on the event, one truth echoed: Africa’s future lies in reclaiming its roots and recognizing its own heroes.

“We are not just building nations,” said the Olu in his keynote.
“We are restoring a civilization. And that restoration begins with reputation, honour and the courage to be distinctly African.”

*Ngozi Okafor: A Life Devoted to Empowering the Next Generation*


From the bustling streets of London to the heart of Lagos, from mentoring inner-city teens in Atlanta to crafting training blueprints for global institutions, Ngozi Okafor’s journey has been one of purpose, passion, and people. A woman of many hats—organizational psychologist, trainer, mentor, author, mother—Ngozi has spent over two decades empowering young people and shaping lives, one conversation, one opportunity, and one program at a time.

With more than 23 years of experience in instructional design and corporate training, Ngozi is not just a trainer or strategist—she’s a storyteller, a guide, and a believer in human potential. Her work cuts across sectors and continents, but her mission has always remained constant: to equip young people with the tools, confidence, and mindset to lead meaningful lives.

“I’ve always believed that young people don’t just need information—they need belief. They need someone to see them, to invest in them, and to walk beside them,” she once said. And that belief has taken her to 56 countries, living on four continents, and working with youth and organizations around the world.

Early Roots in the UK: Hope for the Hopeless

Her story begins in the United Kingdom, where she volunteered with Hope Worldwide International. There, she worked with vulnerable youth—many on the brink of homelessness or already living on the streets. Ngozi helped them navigate their way back into education and employment, guiding them gently but firmly toward stability and success. She didn’t just talk to them; she walked with them—sometimes organizing food drives, sometimes helping them launch charitable initiatives of their own.

A Voice in Atlanta’s Classrooms and Communities

When she moved to the United States, Ngozi took that same energy to Junior Achievers of Atlanta, facilitating business simulation programs that didn’t just teach numbers, but gave students the confidence to dream of building something of their own. Her influence extended beyond the classroom. She mobilized young people to serve their communities—visiting the elderly through Meals on Wheels, delivering not just food but companionship and care.

Returning Home to Inspire Nigeria’s Youth

Back in Nigeria, Ngozi didn’t slow down. She launched Youth Arena, a popular radio show on Armed Forces Radio 107.7 FM that became a lifeline for many young Nigerians searching for answers, guidance, and mentorship. With her warm voice and relatable stories, she connected with thousands. The show’s success led to a partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Financial Inclusion Committee, enabling her to produce a groundbreaking radio series on financial literacy.

But she didn’t stop at broadcasting. Ngozi created a practical financial workbook that was distributed across the country, demystifying savings, budgeting, and financial planning for young people who had never been taught these skills before.

Backing Words with Action

For Ngozi, empowerment isn’t just about ideas—it’s about action. She has personally financed the startup dreams of more than 50 young entrepreneurs in Nigeria, providing essential tools like sewing machines, baking ovens, and more. “Sometimes all they need is that one push—a show of faith that says, ‘I believe in you,’” she reflects.

More Than a Resume—A Mission

Ngozi Okafor’s life isn’t just a collection of impressive roles or accolades. It’s a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. She’s worked with global public institutions, spoken at conferences, published books, and trained leaders. Yet, what defines her most is her unwavering commitment to young people—their stories, their struggles, and their potential.

A mother, mentor, and motivator, Ngozi continues to inspire across generations and geographies. Her story is still being written, one life at a time.

And in a world that desperately needs hope, her message is simple yet profound: *Every young person deserves a chance to thrive—and someone to believe
