Please let her go to driving school. My wife always pride herself that she knows how to drive more than I do.

Fear is catching them too, but we were told our debt ratio is healthy. Sometimes you wonder why we love lies in this country. The most painful thing iare people who claimed to be auditor will be claiming over sabii, emptiness is just over them. Borrowing to waste on frivolity and masses are taxed to the end.

Anyone, but Tinubu, even in Lagos, he will loose, most people are tired of him, forget the noise. Tinubu is OTP.

A great ICON, loves to her school Fowler Memorial Girls. God bless her family.

The level of insecurity in this country is alarming, if it was something that will explode, that is how it will be left. It would have been more than 3 days for the cadaver to decompose. Comfort to his family, Nigeria happened to him.

Most of the heavy duty vehicles on our roads are not road worth, some are more than 35 years and good for iron condemned. Lagos would have towed it since last night. We waste man hours in this country.

I pray for all parents, it shall be well with you, you will find it easy to make payments. If only our public schools are ok.

The Ekiti people despite wealth of education is still poor. No good roads, most houses lack conveniences. They love odun ogun.

The rich also cried, reason this man have started defending APC, I can now understand. Hope this is not a night of a thousand laugh.

Government action is like, you can eliminate yourself to the very root, we are not concerned. It is bad that politics has removed our humanity.

Thank you for this, it is not Kwara North, but Kwara South too, especially Ifelodun. Baba fergie001 said I have been posting banditry stories, Kwara is my state, though my dad is from Lagos Island. My people says, what pains you, is what is paramount amongst your loads.

How many kW has been added to the grid, I went to Kwara and Oyo few days ago. Ogbomosho didn't have 4 hours for 2 days. Kwara was worse. Ijede that has plant has been without light for weeks. Mowe/Ibafo always in darkness, I go to that axis at least 5 times a month. What do people gain for lying for politicians.

Lanretoye:
band A is not 215 per unit pls stop leing,obviously you are not the one responsible for your electricity payment,na online una go Dey form wetin una no be

It is even actually N225, I just bought N50k and got 222 units. Stop defending evil. Most places in Lekki-Ajah are on Band A.

DeOTR:
Your Disco is a rogue organization. In Abuja, any time AEDC fails to live up to the band A mark, they degrade the area to the appropriate band. Nobody will agree with them to continue to pay for a band level when they can't meet up with it. The band of a thing should not fixed. You guys should press their until they bend.

EKEDP don't downgrade, rather they send mails, complaining of faulty lines. We get average of 17 hours rather than minimum of 20 for Band A.

It is will be funny, if a once peaceful state falls to banditry and government keep mute.

As least 23 people have been killed by gunmen over the weekend in Katsina, Kaduna, Kwara, Plateau and Niger states.

Seven people were reportedly killed in Katsina State as bandits launched an attack on Magajin Wando village in Dandume Local Government Area.


The attack occurred between 11pm and midnight on Friday.


The Katsina State Government confirmed the incident on Saturday in a statement by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Nasir Mu’azu.

According to the statement, many people would have been killed but for the intervention of security operatives who confronted the bandits.

“Thanks to the swift and courageous intervention of the Community Watch Corps, the attack was repelled, preventing what could have been a far more devastating outcome for the community.

“In the immediate aftermath, those who sustained injuries during the attack were evacuated. However, they were ambushed on their way to the hospital by the same group that had divided itself.

“In the ensuing exchange of gunfire, their vehicle was riddled with bullets. The Community Watch Corps fought bravely, escaped the ambush, and returned to safety, but the CWC vehicle was burnt during the ambush by the bandits,” the statement read partly.

The government stated that preliminary findings indicated that the ambush was carried out by the same group of criminals, who sought revenge for many of their members killed in the Magajin Wando community by the Community Watch Corps.

In the same vein, two people were killed and eight others abducted when bandits invaded Shagbe community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State over the weekend.

The armed men, who stormed the town close to midnight, reportedly shot sporadically, sending residents scampering for safety before attacking the palace of the Onishagbe of Shagbe in an attempt to kidnap the traditional ruler.

Sources said the assailants met stiff resistance at the palace, leading to a heavy exchange of gunfire.

A Fulani vigilante was reportedly killed in the process, while the bandits abducted eight residents as they retreated from the town.

A community leader in Ifelodun, who preferred anonymity, disclosed that the attackers have contacted the community to demand a ransom of N200 million.

“They killed two people and injured two others. They are asking for N100 million for the kidnapped victims and another N100 million from the monarch not to return to the community.

But we are working closely with security agencies to fortify the town and palace,” he said.

Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Adekimi Ojo, confirmed the incident in a telephone chat on Sunday night.

According to him, “Two people were killed and eight kidnapped. They also rustled an unspecified number of cattle. The bandits shot dead a herder in the forest on their way out after killing another person in the town.

“All the victims were Fulanis. No arrest has been made yet, but we have leads, and the investigation has been intensified.”

The latest incident comes shortly after security forces, in collaboration with the state government, launched an onslaught on suspected bandits in the area, neutralising some of them and rescuing kidnap victims.

Meanwhile, 46 suspects riding motorcycles were intercepted and arrested over the weekend around the Babanla axis of Ifelodun Local Government.

“We have issued a warning that they should put a stop to the mining activities, but they refused. I am sure the victims sneaked in the night when security had left the site. This is what has happened,“ the personnel who pleaded not to be mentioned said.

Shanono Usman Adam and Maren Moses, who also confirmed the development, narrated that the deceased were busy at the mining site when gunmen opened fire on them.

According to Shanono, the deceased have been taken to the mortuary at Bokkos General Hospital.

Herder killed, farmers, travellers abducted in Niger

One herder has been reportedly killed while an unspecified number of farmers and travellers have been kidnapped in a series of attacks on communities in Mariga, Magama, Kontagora and Rijau local government areas of Niger State.

Locals told our correspondent that the attacks, which started on Monday, September 1, 2025, have continued daily as bandits in their numbers have continued to move from community to community, kidnapping residents and rustling cattle.

Among the communities raided between Monday, September 1, 2025, and Sunday, September 7, 2025, were Atabo, Zoma, Mailema, Dusai in Mariga, Kontagora and Magama LGAs.

Similarly, on Monday, September 1, 2025, farmers told Daily Trust that bandits invaded Dappo village in Tungan Wawa Ward, Kontagora LGA of the state, shot three people – Sani Ibrahim, Umar Umar and Khadijah Jatau on the thighs while attempting to escape, and kidnapped another woman, Yetti Dappo and a man, Jatau Dappo.

The injured victims were reportedly admitted to the Tungan Wawa Primary Healthcare Centre.

Mallam Abbas Yunusa, said during the attack on Atabo on Saturday, a herdsman was shot dead while resisting bandits from taking away his cattle.

Another attack was launched around 9pm on Thursday on Unguwan-Usubu, in Kawo Ward, Kontagora LGA.

Residents told Daily Trust that during the attack, the attackers abducted one Muhammadu Baban-Tambaya.

Sources said the renewed attacks have posed security threats to residents and necessitated immediate security deployment to the affected LGAs.

On Saturday, residents of Kontagora told Daily Trust that bandits invaded Melehe town in Kontagora LGA and kidnapped the principal of Junior Secondary School Melehe, and a Fulani woman identified as Amina Runtoje.

The attack reportedly occurred around 9pm. Sources said bandits disguised in hijabs and sat in front of the targeted residence, conversing like young women to avoid suspicion before launching the attack.

One of the sources said, “They sat there in hijabs for about two hours without anyone noticing they were bandits. We thought they were women. Around 10pm, they forced their way into the house, and abducted their victims.”

Also on Saturday morning, bandits invaded the Usubu neighbourhood in the Gamu-Gaku area of Kontagora and abducted two nursing mothers.

When contacted, Chief Press Secretary to the Niger State Governor, Bologi Ibrahim, said he was going to contact the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Homeland Security, to comment on the renewed attacks.

After waiting for several hours to revert, our correspondent called him again, but his calls went unanswered.

Also, the spokesperson for the Niger State Police Command, SP Wasiu Abiodun, did not respond to messages sent to his phone number after placing unsuccessful calls to his phone.

Recently, the state governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, while appearing on an Arise TV programme, said there were no longer security challenges in the state.

He also said the Internally Displaced Persons camps are all empty due to improved security in the state.

Nigeria is very safe. I leave everybody to their conscience. Even if Tinubu wins in 2027, he will leave by 2031, but the havoc to many Nigerians will last a century and many generations will pay for it.

Nigeria is under siege and we are defending party that offers nothing, but hardship and hunger.

Shagbe is not too far from Share, hope they will understand AAA, can't rescue them. Kwara may become another Katsina.

People were been armed with knives and cutlass and police did nothing. I Hope, they understand when they are begging after retirement they will understand.

They already have EC8 forms ready. How many people are in Osun that 400k have pre registered in 3 weeks, ten times Lagos. Even if the whoe nation vote for Tinubu, grass, trees, sands will rise against him to make him OTP.

Another political statement, how do people clears goods at Nigeria ports. How much are contractors parting away to get contract signed. Wike has Bern stealing lands in Abuja for his families, Tinubu shut his eyes.

Those of us who have been paying Band A at N225, yet will hardly get minimum hours. Tinubu is big conn man.

First they said, no 5% petrol tax, now they want to use it for road maintenance. Under OBJ, it was 1% after toll removal, which we have been paying. Denignify answering these people with reply, who defend everything thrown at them.

All Nyesom Wike want is to be in full control of People Democratic Party, so No opposition to Tinubu, even everyone rise to support Tinubu, the trees and sands will come out to make BAT OTP.

The same people the Tax master is doing well, why will they want to run away now? Nigeria is doing well.

How we youth and people, support our oppressors is alarming. Anfi didu pe funfun lori iro ati aye asan. Some of them have controls here too, but what is your joy and pleasure how innocent people are suffering?

Awon ologbon aye told us there is no 5%, under OBJ it was 1% to compensate for removal of toll gates. We told you, this man is TAX Master. Hope those who defend will eat there words and see Nigeria in good light, not just there party's property.

What we support, will definitely come to haunt us, when he was happily celebrating the removal of GEJ by APC, I told people that Nigeria will understand.
