They are evil and radicalised bastards who believe others are their enemies to be 'neutralised'. OBJ did Nigeria a disservice granting Sharia and this is why I despise Makinde for saying he will consider introducing Sharia in Oyo.

Nigeria is a secular nation but OBJ's capitulation, to grant Sharia, sent signal to all radical and terrorist Moslems globally that Nigeria is a Moslem nation that must be conquered for Islam.

We are in trouble and I don't see a way out unless the South has the bravery to insist she parts with the North same as Southern Sudan seceded from Sudan.

I believe the North is gone and the only thing the South can do is make moves to protect herself.

The Sudan north/south split option is the ideal template for Nigeria now that the north of Nigeria has discovered gold, and lithium, which are far more valuable than petroleum.

I hope they are picked on time.

Stupid terrorists

Since the geographical location of the terrorist financier is known to the US now, they can apply the Somalia Sanction and obliterate his house and his vehicles with precision drone strikes.

ijayalolo:
Does that matter in this case? victim rescued unharmed, terrorist neutralized. In fact I am an advocate that any money recovered from the neutralized terrorists should be shared among the officers that carried out the operation

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Donald Trump. Is that you?

You sha want make we know say you get technical jargons related to guns. Ok ooooo, we don hear you. 😆 😂 😆 😂

Oya send me MTN credit make I stop am

This gang of kidnappers are likely local boys who have no access to the military equipment sported by Fulani slave-raiding marauder gangs. Partaking of gunplay against the police while equipped with cumbersome locally-fabricated single-shot 12-gauge shotguns that require several seconds to reload manually, the gang members who gave up the ghost never stood a ghost of a chance against police officers wielding Kalashnikovs fed with piggy-backed ammunition clips.

All the same, congratulations to the brave and patriotic police officers who went into harm's way, not knowing at the onset whether the kidnappers they sought to subdue where small time hoodlums fighting with antique weapons, or infantry-trained Islamist terror militiamen.

Several local hunters armed with artisanal-fabricated single-shot muzzle-loading blunderbusses that take a marathon 3 minutes to reload after each shot, could capitalize on the element of surprise by successfully ambushing a squad of men toting automatic military rifles and grenade launchers.

Those brain-dead Islamist savages should be allowed to secede into their own Islamic Republic of Nigerianistan where this kind of mindless barbarity is condoned and encouraged.

Those are live AK rounds in 7.62x39mm caliber.

Somebody is sending a direct threat that must be taken seriously.

Hopefully the police had the presence of mind to dust them for fingerprints BEFORE touching them without gloves.

Teeroyzimma:
You go explain, you think you're safe in Lagos abi, you better take your jakpa plans serious because these bandits are slowly taking over Lagos

I reside in San Diego, California, as I have done for many years. Thank you so much for your concern about my safety. One hopes that you are expending as much mental energy on your own personal safety as you are evidently doing for random people whose opinions you read online.

dederocs:
Very good, we need more guns in the hands of indigenous state actors.

State police must comprise of indigenous people of a community, they understand the language, know the terrains and they will be more serious in defending their homeland because it's their homeland.

Even the current president's harshest critics will agree that this initiative for state police is wise and long overdue.

Pootle:
even when i still dey street i no barb gallas, doesnt look mature to me, we not in the west were looks doesnt matter to some extent

Interesting. All this time I assumed that Sowore shaved the sides of his head in a bid to resemble a bush rat or an old man's phallus.

I had no idea it was supposed to be fashionable haha.

State police in Nigeria will be much more effective that the current federal police deployment that totally ignores the benefits of familiarity with language, culture and geography, that are all associated with a state police structure that is DECADES overdue.

Only terrorist sponsors and supporters of Fulani land theft will dare oppose this laudable initiative now tabled by the Nigerian president.

Let me see if I can recall the words to the song from that musical called Evita Sowore

Don't cry for me, Katsinaaaa

For I want to be Nkrumaaah

To go to prison, and come out as

El Presidente, I kept being pompous

Until the slammed dunked me, in Kuje prison

Kukutente23:
All what you listed are still foul play

I disagree. The possible causes of explosions that I listed could all be attributed to carelessness or laxity with safety precautions.

The term "foul play" signifies a deliberate act of terrorism or sabotage, which is quite different from accidents resultant from the abandonment of common sense safety measures during the handling of volatile chemicals or electrical equipment.

CrownedPhoenix:
Christian presidents in this country may not have been best characters, but their times were the best in this country.

Ghana takes great care to ensure that ONLY Christians rise to the presidency of that nation. Currently there is a federal directive in Ghana that empowers the police and military to shoot on sight any cows that are spotted destroying farm crops, and to shoot on sight any Fulani herdsmen who try to get in the way of that necessary killing of invasive cattle seen on farmland anywhere in that great nation.

Ghana is a safe nation, whose national currency trades at 11 cedis to the US dollar, as compared to the Nigerian currency which trades at the rate of 1,375 naira to the US dollar.

Ghana, a Christian run nation, is stable, prosperous and SAFE for all people. Tourism is a huge earner of hard currency in Ghana.

The Islamic Republic of Nigeria, on the other hand, is NONE of the above, and is NOT a safe place for anyone.

Explosions can result from any number of non-terrorist scenarios. Cooking gas might have been leaking from a canister, leading to a blast.

Welders using acetylene gas could have accidentally ignited the pressurized canister of gas.

Fuel from a tanker might have leaked unto the street, and then exploded when a cigarette was inadvertently dropped into the pooled liquid.

A power transformer may have developed an internal short-circuit, resulting in a massive blast.

An electrical fault could have developed in a car, resulting in a fire that spread to the vehicle's fuel tank.

An illegal fireworks factory might have caught fire for any number of reasons, igniting a big boom.

The list goes on, so it is premature to conclude that the explosion reported in Lagos is the result of foul play.

chaerman:
I hope he knows if dem kpai him nothing go happen!!! The government has been successful in kpaing people that are more responsible and relevant than him yet citizens moved on!! Don't fight the government, live your life and die in peace, after God na government

Sccarrr:
Be like na prison be hin second home, No doubt the guy love the ambience over there

Wonderment. Na today I dey hear say jail cell get ambiance

Goosethetruth:
The way the usual suspects flip flop and change the rules as the game proceeds is an act that needs to be studied.

The same people who stated categorically that Nigeria will BURN if Nnamdi Kanu is jailed to flip flop and start claiming that Nnamdi Kanu is having the time of his life in Sokoto prison shows the manipulative and self delusional nature of these characters.

These same group claimed Simon Ekpa could NEVER be jailed because he is a Finnish citizen. The terrorist is now convicted and serving jail time in a prison cell in Finland for terrorism.

The level of cognitive dissonance and self delusion is an art that requires studying. How a rational human being can delude him/her self that confinement to a jail cell for life is equivalent to living a VIP treatment just makes the mind boggle.

No day when I go open Nairaland when I nogo hear wettin go make me laugh

Wickedfacts:
This is Sokoto prison, not Kuje, nor Ikoyi. This particular prison is in the category of Yola prison. That was where Abacha sent Obasanjo to.

The kind of slaps Kanu is getting in the hands of Fulani warders in Sokoto, his ears must have been condemned by now.

He will need ear transplant by the time he comes out.

Chai! Got fobit bat ting. Ear transplant surgery no be small ting o.

From today going, I go dey use two hand dey cover my ear, make nothing do am.

I nogo see Sokoto prison slap in Jeeesus name.

CharlesCNG:
Sowore’s problem is that he often mistakes democracy for a licence to say anything, do anything, and then shout “activism” when the law answers.

Free speech is protected, yes. But free speech is not freedom from legal consequences. In law, there is a difference between criticising a President and publicly making allegations of criminality without proving them.

More importantly, this latest remand is not simply because he criticised Tinubu. Reports say his bail was revoked after he failed to appear in court, and the court subsequently issued a bench warrant. That is basic criminal procedure. Bail is not a souvenir; it is a conditional liberty granted by the court. If the condition is breached, the court can revoke it.

Sowore is entitled to defend himself. He is entitled to challenge the charges. He is entitled to appeal any ruling he considers unfair.

But he is not above the court.

Democracy is not lawlessness wearing a human-rights T-shirt.

Activism is not immunity.

And rabble-rousing is not a legal defence.

If Sowore believes Tinubu is a criminal, let him prove it in court. If he cannot, then he should learn that public life is not a marketplace where reckless labels are thrown around without consequence.

Nobody is above criticism.

But nobody is above the law either.

If you were a barrister, which I suspect you might be, I would seek your legal representation based purely on the points you articulated here.

This tune is entirely AI created, but is a masterwork of contemporary Nigerian music, complete with superb vocal harmonies, catchy lyrics and poignant imagery. Enjoy the new world of AI political commentary of the musical kind.

Nigerian Lawmakers are not serious at all.

This is an area we can be generating income, but our lawmakers are not looking into it at all

They are busy trying to centralise the power sector again

The laxity of the lawmakers towards this golden opportunity is just baffling. Each one of them draws a salary that is higher than the US president's official salary, so they are all wealthy enough to invest few thousand dollars in Nigeria's new cannabis industry, with the assurance that profits will accrue on such a scale that they will all become dollar millionaires in a year or less.

By looking at South Africa's legislation as a guideline, it should take no more than one calendar month for a competent lawyer to adapt and fine-tune the South African model of cannabis legalization legislature, so that it is applicable to Nigeria's legal framework.

Six long months ago, in December 2025, the Always Mighty NDLEA boss General Marwa tasked the Nigerian legislature with the assignment of drafting a new legal framework that would usher in an era of economic rejuvenation for Nigeria by legalizing the cultivation, processing and export of medical marijuana.

Since that time, there has been NO indication whatsoever that the Nigerian lawmakers who were given that simple task have bothered to lift a finger in compliance with General Marwa's directive mandating an overhaul of Nigeria's antiquated and draconian cannabis legislation. It is baffling and exasperating to see that the simple assignment handed to those lawmakers six months ago has been sidelined and ignored by those legislators, either due to their personal bias against cannabis, or possibly due to their sheer laziness and sloth.

To help out our esteemed lawmakers, I am posting here the gist of South Africa's cannabis legislation, and a link to the full PDF document detailing the legislation that is currently in effect for South Africa. Hopefully this completed document can be referenced by Nigeria's lawmakers so that the task of creating an analogous document for Nigeria can be simplified and expedited.

The introduction of cannabis agriculture and processing for export will usher in an economic boom in Nigeria that will rival the oil industry for revenue generation amounting to billions of dollars annually. Nigerian legislators, the ball is in your court, and NDLEA boss Marwa is awaiting your action on the directive that he gave you last year. Please act in a timely fashion, so that the current administration will go down in history as the government that propelled Nigeria into a new golden age of prosperity beyond our wildest dreams.

Because the production of the deadly drug methamphetamine has now been discovered in several parts of Nigeria, the NDLEA should also acquire those full-body protective suits worn by medical personnel during the Ebola pandemic, to be worn by agents who are sent to raid the secret jungle laboratories that produce that poison.

Since Mexican drug cartels are expanding their deadly trade to Nigeria by producing methamphetamine in Nigeria, a cautious presumption must be made that the Mexicans will also introduce Nigerian criminal gangs to the manufacture of that super deadly chemical called Fentanyl, which can cause death from even the smallest amount of exposure to the human skin or respiratory system.

South Africans obviously imagine themselves to be a superior race, and as such they hate all other nationalities, and want them out of their country with immediate effect.

It is thus a positive development that the USA has stopped funding HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in South Africa. Now that great nation can look inward for ways to cure that deadly disease, without having to rely on drugs sent by inferior beings from America.

Man is using an IPhone but still can't be tracked by the FG

Who are the dullards running our security architecture?

They are observing lesser Hajj

It is fascinating to read the words of a mass murdering psychopath, complaining about theft and violence. Very amusing indeed.

Anyway, the air force will hopefully send him to collect his allocation in his imaginary paradise, just as was done to all his predecessors in terror.

maasoap:
Please, stop bring religion into the issue where it doesn't matter. The kidnapping of a thing is about monetary rewards and economic benefits, not for religion purpose. You may want to argue that most or all of them are Muslims but they are doing the crimes not because they are Muslims but because they want monetary rewards. The igbo kidnappers that invaded Lagos state last month, were they Muslims?

My closest loved ones are Christians, so I have nothing against Christianity. What I find depressing and baffling is the way Nigerians take chances with their lives by travelling along dangerous highways, simply because they prayed before departure, while forgetting that prayer without the exercise of basic common sense is both foolhardy and inherently futile.

Nigeria is gradually sliding into a state of undeclared war, yet devoutly religious Nigerians cannot bring themselves to accept that road travel, which USED to be comparatively safe, is now downright suicidal in many parts of the country, and not just in the north. The only growth industry in Nigeria right now is kidnapping for ransom, and the most notable hunting ground for kidnappers is the nation's highway network.

Any person who is deluded enough to imagine that they can wish away or pray away the omnipresent danger that is faced by all who travel by road in Nigeria in 2026, is needlessly assuming a grave mortal risk that would be entirely avoidable if only common sense were allowed to prevail over blind prayer and wishful thinking.

CandidSeeker:
We pray for her safe return, but attendance of such is available at a time like this.

That's why we have tools like zoom & other group call.

Would she have attended during lockdown?

Some Christians always believe that what affects others is not their own portion... until they have certain experience.

I agree with you about that idiotic phrase "It is not my portion".

I have never heard that declaration anywhere in this world besides Nigeria, and whenever I hear it, I marvel at the sheer arrogance and sense of birdbrained entitlement that a person must harbor in their tiny little brain, to assume they can make terrible decisions in total disregard for their own personal safety, yet eliminate all the risk factors they brought upon themselves simply by declaring that "it is not my portion".

FIRDAUS3:
Hello Jakumo,
Sequel to your update regarding the abducted Student. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well.
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
Every indication pointing out to your pay master America & co as the Founder and Sponsors of Terrorism globally.
You just have to reason yourself in a simple term, tagging Islam ☪️️for the perpetrators of a terrosit acts is tantamount to chasing a black shadow in the middle of the night.
Hilary Clinton as given her own account. America are the founder of Terrorist.
America - A Christian Nation
What else again?

Your opinion is noted for all it is worth. How I wish America could be my "paymaster".

Bochim:
Are you implying that no one should use the roads again? The road should be deserted so no one would be kidnapped. Haven't you heard of kidnappers breaking into people's houses to kidnap them. Maybe, you think you are safe because you don't ply the road. You should rather drag the government to do the needful

Road use in Nigeria should be kept to a bare minimum, by avoiding NON-ESSENTIAL road travel, of which this church gathering is a sad example.
