lilsmart: This tragic news makes you question the generational gap in our leadership. If the grandson is 62, it puts things into perspective. President Tinubu is 81. The historical Awolowo, whom Tinubu has often cited as a friend and contemporary from his NPN days, has been gone for decades. It highlights a stark reality where our nation is led by a generation that has long held onto power, while their own children's generation are now becoming senior citizens themselves. When will true leadership transition occur?
Stop hallucinating dude, Tinubu and Awo were never friends or contemporaries at any point in history
brolinderick: It's very shameful that politicians will quickly eulogize one of their cronies when death knocks. The death of the military general is not Ibori's concern. But they will know how to use them as security details. The abduction of school children in Kebbi state is just a mere news to the politicians as none had come out to lend their voice condemning the act. What about the killings in CAC church just days ago? They've not heard that news. They're quick to talk about the grandson of Awolowo. Awo is one of Nigeria's problem till tomorrow
Why not tell the soldiers and policemen to stop doing mumu work instead
YouAreNobody: I May Probably Disappear Because of this Post But I Think it’s Necessary for You to Know.
For years, ordinary Nigerians have been burying loved ones, while powerful voices in Abuja and the northern states have been busy massaging the egos of killers and sympathizing with them.
Let me refresh your memories.
In 2013, Muhammadu Buhari said that “the military offensive against Boko Haram is anti-North,” attacking Jonathan’s state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa. Many families who lost loved ones in the North have never forgotten those words. The terrorists even went on to elect him as their spokesman. This same man went on to become a president of Nigeria.
In Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai openly admitted that his government traced violent Fulani herdsmen outside Nigeria and paid them to stop killing people in Southern Kaduna, saying as a Fulani governor he had “no problem paying compensations” to them. This was a governor proudly saying that there was nothing wrong in paying bandits compensations.
In an old sermon, Isa Pantami, who later became Minister of Communications, described Boko Haram fighters as “our Muslim brothers” and complained that they were being killed “like pigs” instead of being pampered like Niger Delta militants. For saying this and openly sympathizing with these terrorists, he was placed in charge of a strategic position as the minister of communication.
Most of you don’t know how powerful the ministry of communications, Innovation, and digital economy is. Let me try to summarize its power in either aiding or impeding the fight against terrorism.
This ministry oversees the entire digital backbone of and structure of the country. That includes:
-NCC (Nigerian Communications Commission) -NITDA -Galaxy Backbone -National Identity database (NIN) -Cybersecurity policy and digital surveillance systems -Telecom regulation through MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile -Internet monitoring, interception frameworks, SIM registration systems
All of these tools matter directly to national security.
This entire power sits under the Ministry’s regulatory supervision.
If the ministry is strong, coordinated and loyal to national security, terrorists lose their anonymity. If the ministry is weak, compromised, or misaligned, terrorists operate freely.
This is why countries treat digital and communication ministries as security ministries, not just “internet ministries.”
The ministry leads Nigeria’s entire cybersecurity ecosystem, including: -National Cybersecurity Policy -Inter-agency cyber response teams -Protection of critical digital infrastructure -Collaboration with security agencies on intelligence
Of course, we know that terrorists now use: -Encrypted platforms -Digital fundraising -Social media networks -Online propaganda -Cross-border WhatsApp coordination
The ministry is crucial in shutting these down or letting terrorists do as they please.
To avoid making this post too long, I won’t be able to tell you other importance of this ministry, but you can Subscribe to KaaTruths You/Tube channel and watch a documentary when I discussed this.
Now, let us continue.
In 2021, Lai Mohammed went on live TV and said that if granting amnesty to a warlord would make others surrender, he would “take that decision” and threw his weight behind governors who offered amnesty instead of confrontation to bandits. Lai Mohammed was the minister of Information under President Buhari.
Former Zamfara governor Ahmad Sani Yerima went to see President Tinubu in 2023 and came out publicly urging him to consider amnesty for bandits, arguing that they “deserve amnesty and not death” and should be negotiated with like Niger Delta militants. For him, these terrorists and bandits should not be killed.
Zamfara’s then governor, Bello Matawalle, even told Nigerians that “not all bandits are criminals”, insisting that some picked up guns because vigilantes wronged them, while his government pushed amnesty and cash deals with these same gangs. 
Former Katsina governor Aminu Masari launched an amnesty programme and promoted dialogue with bandits in Buhari’s home state, before later admitting the whole arrangement failed and that he regretted trusting them at all. 
And here’s the big one. Our current Vice President, Kashim Shettima, once said in 2011 that “the Boko Haram people are human beings who deserve fair hearing” and called them “our brothers”, calling for dialogue instead of a hard crackdown. Please, read that again gently. And how many of you still remembered whose house Kabiru Sokoto the Boko Haram prominent leader who bombed Nyanya was caught after escaping from police custody?
Ali Modu Sheriff, on the other hand, is surrounded by thick smoke andd reports linking his time as Borno governor to the rise of Boko Haram, yet he loudly denies everything but said something that most people have really not paid attention to. He said, “it’s not me, it’s Shettima who created Boko Haram.”
Dave Umahi who’s now a minister. At an event in Abakaliki in May 2021, where he presented vehicles to security agencies during his time as governor said: “Bandits are our children, we should empower them.”
I hope you are still following.
Outside formal politics, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi built a full ministry of sympathy around bandits, insisting they are “not criminals”, demanding amnesty and rehabilitation, and scolding the media for calling them what they are. 
While thousands of villagers, farmers, churchgoers and travellers were being slaughtered, kidnapped and raped, you had powerful men debating the “feelings” of bandits and proposing salaries and amnesty for them.
Let this sink in: there are more powerful voices fighting to launder the image of bandits than there are voices fighting for the widows and orphans they left behind.
One day, Nigeria will have to ask herself: who really created this monster and who kept feeding it with soft words, cash settlements and political protection?
And the most chilling question would probably be: “Can we confidently separate our government from those we are asking the government to protect us from?”

I can't believe it has lasted this long without being deleted
Burob: Na u I even blame for wasting your time thinking of Tinubu, imagining such nonsense about Tinubu pocketing The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Very very myopic reasoning @ best.
Wetin concern me with president for Abuja?
Abacha almost succeeded in doing it
Right now Bola Tinubu is in the middle of the process...that's why your legislators and jurists now sing "On Your Mandate We Shall Stand" instead of the national anthem
Wake up from your slumber dude, sleepwalkers such as yourself are the ones making Nigeria vulnerable to wolves like him
Kobojunkie: Again, the core of OP's argument is that she would not date or marry a man who earns less than she does
2That only applies if OP herself is at least a dollar billionaire.
Try to comprehend what her mentioning of those names implies, not what you want it to mean for you.
OP did not state that anywhere in initial post, that condition exists only in your imagination....you preach comprehension but it is obviously not one of your own strong suits
Kobojunkie: There are about 4 billion men out there in the world. Are you wanting us to believe that Adenuga boys make up the bulk of men out there that we should consider what Adenuga boys -- whoever they are --- do to be the norm for all men? Come on now...we are almost into 2026, you can do better in the area of reasoning things and life, abeg! 🥱🤣🥱
OP specifically mentioned Adenuga's boys, Dangote has no male kid
And speaking of reasoning, how many out of the four billion men are heirs to billionaire-dollar fortunes? OP had a preference that automatically excluded 99% (maybe higher) of the male population, you might want to read her rant all over again for better comprehension
Kobojunkie: You said OP is right and wrong, but did not clarify any of this in your comment.
Your wife is lucky that in your case, things turned out better than they were when she first met you. However, for the vast majority of women out there who married men who earned less at the time, the reality did not turn out the same. That is partly the reasons for why, almost 50% of Nigerian married women today are breadwinners despite being married, and of the others who were not themselves financially independent before marriage(and maintained that in marriage) a large portion of them are financially abused by their spouses in marriage.
What OP expressed is a preference many women and there is everything right and nothing wrong about their choice. Also, that choice is helped when the woman knos to be financially independent before and throughout the cause of the marriage as we are all aware that even rich men can be stingy towards their own wives and children.
Adenuga boys are also running away from ladies whom Poverty has built HQ in their father's compound like OP; nobody want to marry liability anymore
Islie: While retreating, the ISWAP terrorists burned two trucks belonging to the Borno State Ministry of Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, and Resettlement and killed four labourers.
My takeaway from here is the fact that none of the policemen pulled a weapon even though they were all armed, but it would have been a turkey-shoot had they been tussling with unarmed civilians
The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has eulogised former Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose at his 65th birthday celebration, in Lagos, describing him as an uncommon Nigerian, distinguished by his courage, boldness and unflinching honesty.
Shettima in his speech also rates Wike as finest Nigerian Politician
