The best president ever since the history of Nigeria.

Infact there should be a thorough screening of all soldiers to ensure removal of rehabilitated terrorist.

Politics › Tinubu Restructures Nigerian Army, Creates Four New Divisions To Make 12 by ManirBK(op): 8:11am On Jul 24

President Bola Tinubu, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has approved the expansion of the Nigerian Army’s structure from eight to twelve divisions—a landmark move to enhance the country’s security architecture and improve the operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Army.

This approval underscores the president’s unwavering commitment to equipping the Armed Forces to address Nigeria’s evolving security challenges effectively and to strengthen national defence capabilities further.

The expansion builds on the administration’s sustained investments in the Armed Forces, including approval for the recruitment of 28,000 additional personnel, acquisition of critical military platforms and equipment, improvements in troop welfare, and ongoing support for operational readiness and force modernisation.

Under the new structure, the Nigerian Army will operate twelve divisions, strategically positioned across the country as follows:
1. 1 Division Headquarters – Kaduna (Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Jigawa States)
2. 2 Division Headquarters – Ibadan (Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States)
3. 3 Division Headquarters – Jos (Plateau, Bauchi and Gombe States)
4. 5 Division Headquarters – Makurdi (Benue, Nasarawa and Kogi States)
5. 6 Division Headquarters – Port Harcourt (Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River States)
6. 7 Division Headquarters – Maiduguri (Borno and Yobe States)
7. 8 Division Headquarters – Sokoto (Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara States)
8. 9 Division Headquarters – Ilorin (Kwara and Niger States)
9. 10 Division Headquarters – Jalingo (Taraba and Adamawa States)
10. 81 Division Headquarters – Lagos (Lagos and Ogun States)
11. 82 Division Headquarters – Enugu (Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo States)
12. 83 Division Headquarters – Benin City (Edo, Delta and Bayelsa States).

The establishment of the new Divisions in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo and Benin City will significantly improve command and control, decentralise operational decision-making, strengthen border security, enhance the protection of critical national infrastructure, improve counter-insurgency and internal security operations, and ensure faster military response to emerging threats nationwide.

Implementation of the new force structure will be done in two phases. The first phase, covering the establishment of the 5, 9, and 10 Divisions and the reorganisation of existing formations, will be completed by September 2026. The second phase, involving the establishment of the 83 Division and further reorganisation, is expected to be completed by December 2026.

President Tinubu commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Ibrahim Shuaibu, and all officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The President reaffirmed his Administration’s determination to continue investing in the Armed Forces, ensuring they remain adequately equipped, highly motivated, and fully capable of protecting the nation and guaranteeing the safety and security of all Nigerians.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Brief Summary: The Falkland Islands Dispute. England Vs Argentina World Cup by ManirBK(op): 7:01pm On Jul 17*

From the beginning England wronged oppressed Argentina. But since England planted its people in the Falklands for many years and brought alot of development,they should be allowed to keep the Falkland, But England must pay compensation.

Foreign Affairs › Brief Summary: The Falkland Islands Dispute. England Vs Argentina World Cup by ManirBK(op): 7:00pm On Jul 17*

Nairalanders, let's set the scene:

According to Deepseek Ai chat

The 2026 World Cup semi-final. Argentina knocks England out in a tense match. As Messi and his teammates celebrate, they unfurl a massive banner that reads: "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" (The Malvinas belong to Argentina). The football world goes crazy—but what is this all about? Here is the brief history behind that banner.

---

1. The 1833 Takeover
In 1833, Britain sent a warship to the Falkland Islands (which Argentina calls the Malvinas) and expelled the small Argentine garrison stationed there. Argentina considers this an act of outright military aggression and illegal seizure of their territory, which they had inherited from Spain.

2. The 1982 War – Argentina Fights Back

· On 2 April 1982, amid a severe economic crisis, Argentina’s military junta invaded and recaptured the islands to boost national pride.
· Britain, under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, immediately deployed a naval task force to take them back.
· In the short but bloody war that followed:
· 649 Argentinians died.
· 255 British servicemen lost their lives.
· 3 Falkland Islanders were also killed.
· After fierce sea and land battles, British forces landed north of Stanley, fought their way into the capital, and Argentina surrendered on 14 June 1982. Britain overpowered them again and re-took full control.

3. Settlement and Development
After 1833 and especially after 1982, Britain firmly established its rule, encouraged British settlers, and heavily developed the islands. Today, about 3,500 people live there—mostly of British descent—with modern infrastructure, schools, and self-governance (internal affairs).

---

The Stands of Both Parties:

· Argentina’s Stand: Argentina insists the islands are theirs based on territorial integrity (inherited from Spain) and geographical proximity. They argue that colonialism was wrong in 1833, and they refuse to accept the British presence. They want sovereignty handed back.
· England’s (UK) Stand: The UK insists the islands belong to Britain based on the right to self-determination. They point to the 2013 referendum where 99.8% of the islanders voted to remain British. They say: "If the islanders want to be British, they are British."

---

The United Nations' Stand:

The UN does not officially favor either side's full sovereignty claim. It:

· Lists the Falklands as a "Non-Self-Governing Territory."
· Passed Resolution 2065 (1965) which recognizes the dispute and calls for peaceful negotiations between Argentina and the UK to find a solution.
· However, while the UN urges talks, it has not forced Britain to hand over the islands, and the UK refuses to discuss sovereignty, preferring to discuss only fishing, oil, and practical cooperation.

---

So, Nairalanders, where do you stand?

We have history (Argentina being kicked out in 1833), war (Argentina trying to take it back in 1982 but losing), development (UK building a prosperous community there), and the law (UN asking for peaceful talks but not enforcing a handover).

Now, with the 2026 World Cup match fueling the fire, are you with Lionel Messi and Argentina—supporting the fight against colonial injustice and reclaiming the Malvinas?

OR are you with Harry Kane and England—supporting the right of the 3,500 islanders to decide their own future and remain British?

Drop your comments below. Are you Team Messi or Team Kane on this?

Crime › If Properties Declared Final Forfeiture By A Court Can The Owner Get Them Back? by ManirBK(op): 9:33am On Jul 16

According to deepseek ai chat.

The short answer is yes, but it is extremely difficult. Once a Nigerian court issues a final forfeiture order, the property permanently transfers to the Federal Government. The owner loses all legal rights to it.

However, the law provides a narrow window for the original owner to challenge the order, mainly through an appeal or an application to "set aside" the judgment. Success is rare and hinges on proving a fundamental flaw in the legal process.

⚖️ Grounds for a Challenge

· Lack of Fair Hearing: If the owner can prove they were not properly notified, they may have grounds to challenge the forfeiture. In one case, a former CBN Governor argued the forfeiture notice was "obscure," but the court rejected this, noting a half-page ad in a national newspaper was sufficient.
· Procedural Violations: The order may be challenged if the prosecution failed to meet strict statutory deadlines, such as applying for final forfeiture within 60 days of an interim order.
· Lack of Evidence: The owner can argue the prosecution failed to prove the assets were proceeds of crime. However, courts often find that mere claims of ownership are insufficient to overturn a final order.

⏳ The Critical Factor: Timing

Time is of the essence. In one high-profile case, an applicant’s motion was dismissed because the court ruled he had ample opportunity—over 14 days—to contest the forfeiture but failed to act. This emphasizes that once a final order is granted, the window for legal action is very short and closes quickly.

🏛️ Who Can Challenge?

Only an individual who can demonstrate a "recognizable interest" in the forfeited property is entitled to challenge the order. You cannot challenge a forfeiture on behalf of someone else; you must prove a direct, personal stake in the assets.

Family › Kebbi To Sponsor Mass Wedding For 300 Couples by ManirBK(op): 5:36pm On Jul 15

The Kebbi State Government has concluded plans to sponsor 300 couples in the third edition of its mass wedding programme.

Chairman of the Mass Wedding Committee, Alhaji Suleiman Muhammad Argungu, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing journalists in Birnin Kebbi.

He said the beneficiaries were selected from the state’s 21 local government areas and 225 wards following a screening process.

Argungu said the programme, organised by the state government in partnership with the foundation of the governor’s wife, is open to all eligible indigenes, regardless of ethnic or religious background.

He said each groom would receive N250,000 as dowry in line with Islamic law, while all intending couples would undergo compulsory medical screening to determine their health status and compatibility.

According to him, local government committees have also been directed to verify that each groom has a reliable source of income to support his family.

The wedding ceremony will take place in Birnin Kebbi in the presence of Governor Nasir Idris, Islamic clerics and other dignitaries.

Argungu said the governor’s wife’s NANAS Foundation would provide beds, mattresses, food items and other household essentials to help the couples begin married life.

He added that a monitoring committee had been set up to monitor the welfare of the couples after the wedding and ensure the proper use of the items provided.

MightySparrow:
1. Muslim is Muslim so far they kill shouting Allahu Akbar. All Muslims read and believe the same books: Quran, Hadiths, tasfir....
Presently, protest is going on in Burkina Faso by Muslims because government is saying it is wrong to block the roads, disrupt traffic because Allah cannot answer prayers that doesn't bring discomfort to people.

2. Why is it that the message of destruction is giving to Mohammed. Give one verse where Allah says Muslims should love others who are not Muslims. It is all about killing, maiming, enslavement, disabilizing peaceful communities.

(9:123) Believers! Fight against the unbelievers who live around you;[121] and let them find in you sternness.[122] Know that Allah is with the God-fearing.[123]

It is obligatory for Muslims to everyone.
3. You quoted the Bible, there was no record of killing people to accept Judaism or Christian faith. Show only one verse.THE WARS against Medianites and Co were not religious. God of Israel had issues with them and. Read well from Genesis to Malachi. In the verse you quoted about killing defaulters, it was strictly among Israelites. Jesus came ask his disciples to preach and if any people would not accept, they should shake their shoes NOT SWORDS,
3. Islam is a curse today. Wherever it goes, it destroys. Where are the glories of Egypt, Babylon, Persia? These were leading in administration, science, architecture, law. Today, the only contribution from Islamic world is terror. All the pre - islamic glories before Mohamed died with rising Islam.
Israel and Christian world are leading in science, getting Nobel Prizes. Children in India, South Korea, China, Japan are being taught to create a brighter future by technology. Islam is feeding their children with hate. They are being taught that the whole world is against Islam and Muslims. They are giving weapons to destroy not to bulld. Africa is becoming a cursed continent with a ravaging Islam. Islam covers people, nations with blackest of darkness.

The protest in Burkina Faso is about traffic laws and blocking roads, not about theology. Muslims there are acting as citizens protesting a government policy that affects their daily worship—just like Christians protest when their church processions are restricted. This proves Muslims are normal people concerned with civic rights, not bloodthirsty killers.

As for "all Muslims read the same books"—yes, we read the same Quran. But ISIS reads it differently than Al-Azhar University. Just as Christians all read the same Bible, yet Quakers interpret it radically differently than the Crusaders did. The book is ink; the interpretation is what matters.

---

On Point 2: A Verse Commanding Love for Non-Muslims

You asked for one verse. Here are three clear, direct commands from the Quran to love, respect, and deal kindly with non-Muslims:

· Quran 60:8 – "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you on account of religion and do not drive you out of your homes—from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." (This commands kindness to peaceful non-Muslims).
· Quran 29:46 – "And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice. And say, 'We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.'" (This commands respectful dialogue).
· Quran 2:256 – "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] religion." (This forbids forcing anyone to convert—which directly contradicts killing them for their faith).

Now, regarding Quran 9:123 you quoted—it addresses the specific hostile Arab tribes who broke peace treaties and attacked Muslims first during the 7th-century wars. It is not a universal command for all times and places. The same chapter (9:6) says: "If any of the polytheists seeks your protection, grant it to him until he hears the word of Allah, then escort him to his place of safety." That is mercy, even to enemies.

---

On Point 3: Bible Wars Were "Not Religious" – Let's Check

You said the wars against Midianites, Canaanites, etc., were not religious. Let me quote the Bible directly:

· Deuteronomy 7:1-4 – "When the Lord your God brings you into the land... He will clear away many nations... the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites... and you shall devote them to destruction. You shall make no covenant with them... for they would turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods."
That is explicitly religious. The reason for genocide is idolatry—worshipping other gods.
· Deuteronomy 13:6-10 commands killing your own brother, child, or friend if they try to convert you to another religion—again, strictly religious enforcement.
· Regarding Jesus telling disciples to shake dust off their shoes (Luke 9:5)—you are right, he said that. But 300 years later, Christians became the Roman Empire, and they did take up swords. The Crusades (1095–1291 AD) were launched explicitly in the name of Jesus Christ to reclaim the Holy Land, with the battle cry "Deus Vult" (God wills it). They slaughtered Jews and Muslims in Jerusalem. The Spanish Inquisition tortured and killed non-Catholics in the name of Christ. So while Jesus taught peace, later Christians ignored that—just as later Muslims ignore the peace verses. We judge people, not just scriptures.

---

On Point 4: "Islam Destroys Civilizations, Only Gives Terror"

This is the most factually incorrect claim. Let me give you history:

· The Islamic Golden Age (8th–14th centuries) – While Europe was in the Dark Ages, Muslims led the world in:
· Algebra (Al-Khwarizmi—the word "algorithm" comes from his name).
· Optics and the scientific method (Ibn al-Haytham—father of modern optics).
· Medicine (Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine was the standard textbook in Europe for 500 years).
· Astronomy, chemistry, mathematics (decimal system and zero reached Europe via Muslims).
· Universities, hospitals, and public libraries in Baghdad, Cordoba, and Cairo.
· What happened to Egypt, Babylon, Persia? Islam absorbed and preserved their knowledge. Greek philosophy was translated into Arabic and later reintroduced to Europe, sparking the Renaissance. The collapse of these glories came after the Mongol invasions (13th century) and later European colonization—not because of Islam.
· Nobel Prizes today – You mentioned Christians/Jews/Asians lead in science. True, because the West invested heavily in education and research post-Industrial Revolution. But Muslims have won Nobel Prizes in science:
· Abdus Salam (Pakistan, Physics, 1979).
· Ahmed Zewail (Egypt, Chemistry, 1999).
· Aziz Sancar (Turkey, Chemistry, 2015).
· China, India, Japan, South Korea – Their success comes from massive state investment in technology, not from abandoning religion. If Muslim countries invested similarly, they would achieve similarly. Poverty, corruption, and colonialism—not the Quran—are the real curses in Africa today.
The problem is not the faith. The problem is politics, poverty, and media sensationalism. When a Christian shoots up a school in the US, the media says "mentally ill gunman." When a Muslim does it, the media says "Islamic terrorist." That bias warps perception.

Are you doing taquiyya for me ní? The killer Muslims are the real Muslims. People have been killed in the time of Mohammad with shout of 'Allahu Akbar'.

I have never seen anyone committing any crimes in the name of Jesus or killing anyone for Jesus or Yahweh to accept Christianity; neither will you see any Buddhist, Hare Krishna, Amadioha, Shango worshipers killing for their god's.

Quran 9:29
قَـٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا
قَـٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلْحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُوا۟ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍۢ وَهُمْ صَـٰغِرُونَ ٢٩
Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture,1 until they pay the tax,2 willingly submitting, fully humbled

Tasfir Jalal - Al-Jalalayn
Fight those who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day for otherwise they would have believed in the Prophet(s)and who do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden such as wine nor do they practise the religion of truth the firm one the one that abrogated other religions namely the religion of Islam

My dear brother, you've raised three separate issues. Let me address each one calmly, using facts and your own logic.

1. On "Taqiyya" (Deception):
Taqiyya is a concept in Shia Islam that permits hiding your faith only when your life is in immediate danger (e.g., under torture or execution). It is not a license to lie in everyday conversations or debates. Since we are sitting behind screens on Nairaland, and my life is not threatened, I have zero religious grounds to practice Taqiyya here. I am speaking plainly.

2. On "No other religion kills in the name of their god" – This is historically and textually inaccurate.
You said you have never seen Christians or Hindus kill for their gods. Let's look at the texts you asked for (comparing to Quran 9:29).

You quoted Quran 9:29, which says: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah... until they pay the jizya (tax) with willing submission."
The historical context: This was revealed in 630 AD when the Roman Empire was mobilizing troops to attack the Muslim border. It was a wartime defensive order against hostile empires, and the outcome was a tax to stop the bloodshed—not a death sentence.

Now, let's compare that to similar commands in the Bible, which are far more severe in their literal wording:

· Deuteronomy 20:16-17 (God speaking): "However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites... as the Lord your God has commanded you." (Genocide of entire tribes, including children).
· 1 Samuel 15:3 (God commanding): "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." (Kill absolutely everything).
· Exodus 22:20: "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed." (Kill anyone who worships differently).
· Numbers 25:17: "Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them."

If we take the literal text without context, these Bible verses command the complete extermination of non-believers, which is objectively more extreme than Quran 9:29's "fight until they pay a tax."

3. On "Killer Muslims are the real Muslims":
By that logic, the Crusaders who shouted "Deus Vult" (God wills it) and slaughtered Jews and Muslims in the name of Jesus would be the "real Christians." But we both know that's false. Mainstream Christianity condemns the Crusades. Similarly, mainstream Islam condemns ISIS and Boko Haram. Extremists in every faith cherry-pick ancient war verses while ignoring the peace verses. In Islam, Quran 5:32 says: "Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he has killed all of humanity."

Final Thought:
The problem isn't the scripture—whether Quran or Bible. The problem is cherry-picking historical war verses and applying them to modern civilians. If I quoted Deuteronomy 20 to justify killing your family, you would rightly call me a madman. I afford you the same courtesy. Let's judge people by their actions, not by selective verses from 1,400-year-old manuscripts.

Peace, brother. ✌️

MightySparrow:
Why is it that whenever Allahu Akbar is shouted, death follows?

Dear questioner, I understand why you might ask this based on what you see in the news. But let’s look at the facts logically, without emotions.

1. The Mathematical Reality
"Allahu Akbar" simply means "God is the Greatest." It is a phrase of praise and remembrance.
Globally, over 1.9 billion Muslims say or shout "Allahu Akbar" at least 5 times a day during the call to prayer (Adhan). That is over 3.5 billion utterances per day worldwide.
If death followed every time it was shouted, the human race would have been extinct centuries ago. Yet, every day, it is shouted joyfully at weddings, births, Eid celebrations, and the sighting of the new moon—and only happiness and peace follow.

2. The Media Lens (Confirmation Bias)
The only time the international media broadcasts the phrase is when a criminal or extremist uses it. They ignore the 99.999% of times it is used peacefully. It is like judging the English word "Fire!"—if the media only showed people shouting it during arson, you’d forget that it is also shouted happily around campfires, in fireplaces, and during cooking competitions.

3. A Christian Analogy (to put it in perspective)
If a criminal robs a bank and shouts "Hallelujah" or "Praise the Lord" while pulling the trigger, would you conclude that "Hallelujah" causes death? Of course not. You would rightly say the criminal misused a holy word. The same applies here. The phrase is holy; the criminal's action is evil.

4. The Islamic Stance (for clarity)
In the Quran, Allah says: "Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he has killed all of humanity." (Quran 5:32).
Therefore, anyone who shouts "Allahu Akbar" while unjustly taking a life is actually disobeying God, not representing Him. They are committing a major sin, not a religious act.

5. My Challenge to You
I invite you to visit any local mosque near you during the Fajr (dawn) or Maghrib (sunset) prayer. Stand outside and listen when they shout "Allahu Akbar" for the call. You will hear it loud and clear, and I promise you—no one will die. The only thing that follows is peace, worship, and community.

Thank you for the question. It gave me a chance to clarify this misconception. Feel free to ask anything else

Crime › How We Secured Release Of Kidnapped Oyo Students – Nigerian Army by ManirBK(op): 10:33am On Jul 11

How captives were released — Army

According to a statement issued by Jonah Danjuma, the spokesperson for 2 Division in Ibadan, the release of the captives followed more than a month of coordinated operations targeting the group’s leadership, logistics and informant network.

Mr Danjuma explained that the operations were led by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of 2 Division, CR Nnebeife, in collaboration with the ONSA, the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the SSS, the armed forces, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Defence Headquarters, police, Amotekun corps, local vigilantes and hunters.

He said the security operation focused on identifying the kingpins behind the abduction and dismantling their operational network and hideouts within the Old Oyo National Park forest.

The army spokesperson said multiple arrests were made in Oyo State and other parts of the country, disrupting the group’s activities and exerting sustained pressure on its members.

“The arrests completely disorganised the group, exerted overwhelming pressure on them and ultimately led the terrorist group to unconditionally release the pupils and teachers,” he stated.

Mr Danjuma added that the operation was deliberately planned to ensure the safe recovery of the hostages while avoiding collateral damage.

He, however, disclosed that security forces recorded casualties during the operation but did not provide details on the number or identities of those affected.

According to him, the rescued pupils and teachers are currently receiving medical treatment at an undisclosed hospital before being handed over to the Oyo State Government for reunification with their families.

The army spokesperson said further operations would continue to track down other members of the network and dismantle any remaining terrorist cells linked to the abduction.

Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have attacked two military locations in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, killing three residents on the spot.

According to witnesses, the insurgents stormed a military base at Kofa around 2:14am, and hit another one at Muna around 2:30am.

Sources from both locations told our correspondent that the attackers drove to the areas on motorcycles shooting sporadically.

They also revealed that all the attacks were successfully repelled by the military but three residents were killed by stray bullets during the crossfire.

Deborah Usman, a resident of Kofa, said, as the insurgents engaged troops at the military post, many residents fled the area for safety.

“It’s at that time that our neighbor, a three-week-old bride, was hit by a stray bullet on the head and she died instantly.

Sources from the Muna area said the attackers engaged the troops that were stationed at the Customs office, trying to infiltrate the capital city.

A resident of Muna, Mannanaye Muhammad, said two people were killed during the attack.

“They were trying to escape the area when the insurgent shot sporadically at their location. Most of us that decided to stay indoors were not affected, but a woman was also injured by a flying bullet in her residence,” he said

He said that funeral prayer was observed and bodies of the deceased are billed for burial by 12 noon.

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has disclosed that about 240 private jets are currently operating in Nigeria, the highest number on the continent.

Keyamo disclosed this during his engagement with the world’s leading aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

The Minister led some major operators of private jets in Nigeria to Montreal, Canada to engage with officials of Bombardier Inc., a leading Canadian aerospace company specializing in the design, manufacture, and servicing of luxury business jets (such as the Global and Challenger families) and defense aircraft solutions.

According to the minister, discussions with Bombardier focused on the possibility of establishing a major aircraft service centre in Nigeria to provide maintenance support for Bombardier aircraft operating in the country and across Africa.

He wrote: “Our discussions covered a broad range of issues, especially the prospect of the company establishing a major service center in Nigeria. This will provide the much needed support for their aircraft within the country and the African continent as a whole.

“Nigeria officially has the highest number of private jets in Africa with nearly 240 presently operating within the country and so much foreign currency is repatriated weekly from the country for the maintenance of these aircraft.”

Daily Trust reports that the number of private jets in Nigeria has seen a drastic rise since 2021 when it was just 100 despite the economic whirlwind.

However, most of the private jets, close to 70 per cent of them, were foreign registered while most of them were used for illegal charter operations which necessitated the recent set up of committee to probe the development.

The Ministerial Taskforce on illegal Air Charter operation set up by Keyamo recently fingered high net worth individuals and foreign registered aircraft as culprits in illegal charter operations.
Recently, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) was at loggerheads with the operators over payment of the required duties and levies on importation of the private jets.

Industry players say more often than not many private jet owners in Nigeria chose foreign registration to bypass some levies and charges.

Speaking during the visit, the Minister noted that the establishment of a Bombardier service centre in Nigeria would significantly reduce the cost of overseas maintenance, conserve foreign exchange, create skilled jobs and position the country as a regional hub for business aviation services.
A statement earlier issued by the Minister’s Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Tunde Moshood, disclosed that the Bombardier’s visit completed Nigeria’s strategic engagements with the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers, following earlier visits to Boeing, Airbus and Embraer.

The minister, according to the statement, was accompanied by the Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Chris Najomo; the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku; Nigeria’s Representative on the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Engr. Mahmoud Sani Ben-Tukur; and other senior government officials and industry stakeholders.

During the visit to Bombardier’s Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre, the Nigerian delegation received briefings on aircraft manufacturing and completion processes, maintenance support systems, pilot and technical training programmes, digital technologies, aftermarket services and aircraft acquisition solutions.

The Federal Government said the engagement is expected to open new opportunities in fleet modernisation, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), engineering support, technical capacity development, aviation training and aerospace technology transfer.

Keyamo said the Tinubu administration remains committed to creating an enabling environment for indigenous operators through strategic partnerships with global aircraft manufacturers, aimed at improving safety, operational efficiency and the long-term sustainability of Nigeria’s aviation industry.

The statement added, “The visit also advances the Honourable Minister’s fleet modernisation agenda by encouraging the acquisition of newer, safer and more fuel-efficient aircraft while strengthening partnerships among aircraft manufacturers, financiers, lessors and Nigerian operators.

“The successful completion of strategic engagements with Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier underscores the commitment of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration to repositioning Nigeria as Africa’s preferred aviation hub through strategic international partnerships, private-sector collaboration and sustainable industry reforms.”

Country with history of killing and who have dropped thousands of bombs on Iran killing not less than 3000 Iranians is denying its action as usual. UN just reported Israel target killing of children, which we all knew about b4 the report', can't be ignorant about the said attack. If it's not by US, it's certainly Israel. Israel's history of killing children for fun and based on their scripture dismissed any doubt about their involvement.

Foreign Affairs › Trump Doubts US Responsibility For Fatal Iranian Girls’ School Strike by ManirBK(op): 10:30am On Jun 25

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has expressed doubt that American forces were responsible for the fatal strike on a girls’ school in Iran.

A Pentagon investigation into the incident that killed more than 175 children and teachers is still ongoing, but Mr Trump told reporters at the Oval Office on Wednesday that he doesn’t think the investigation will point to the US.

Mr Trump said he had seen no evidence linking the United States to the attack and suggested that the school may have been hit amid the barrage of missiles exchanged during the Iran war.

“I have to wait for it (the investigation) to be complete. I don’t know that they’re ever going to solve that problem,” he said.

“I don’t think it’s gonna be us…Somebody said it was our missile. Well, maybe it wasn’t our missile. I’ve seen nothing to lead me to believe that it was. There were plenty of missiles being flown by other people.”

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who appeared alongside the president, said the Pentagon was treating the investigation seriously and would release its findings at the appropriate time.

“We’ve taken the investigation very seriously, and when the appropriate time is right, whatever that outcome is,” Mr Hegseth said.

The latest remarks mark a shift from Mr Trump’s earlier comments last week, that nobody had intentionally targeted the school and pledged to respect the outcome of the investigation.

The strike occurred on 28 February in Minab, southern Iran, on the first day of the US/Israeli-Iran war. The attack destroyed a girls’ school and killed more than 175 pupils and teachers, making it one of the deadliest civilian incidents of the conflict.

In March, Reuters reported that preliminary findings from a US military investigation suggested American forces were likely responsible for the strike, although investigators had not reached a final conclusion.

Good Development
Lithium is one of the most sought-after minerals in the world because of its role in electric vehicle batteries. If managed properly, this could place Nigeria in a strategic position in the global energy transition. This could be a game changer for Kaduna and Nigeria, but transparency, environmental protection, and community development must be prioritised from the beginning.

Politics › FG Discovers Platinum, Lithium, Rare Earth Deposits In Kaduna by ManirBK(op): 9:57am On Jun 25

The government says the newly identified mineral province could strengthen Nigeria's position in the global market for critical minerals used in clean energy and advanced manufacturing.

The Federal Government has announced the discovery of what it described as a world-class polymetallic mineral province in Kaduna State containing deposits of platinum group metals, gold, nickel, copper, lithium and rare earth elements.

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, disclosed this on Wednesday at the opening of the African Natural Resources and Energy Investment Summit (AFNIS) 2026 in Abuja.

Mr Alake said the discovery was verified by the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) and represents one of the most significant developments in Nigeria’s mining sector in recent years.

According to him, the mineral province was identified through exploration conducted by a private company with support from the geological agency.

He said the deposits contain strategic minerals that are increasingly in demand globally for clean energy technologies, battery production and advanced manufacturing.

“The province is notable for significant deposits of gold, nickel, copper, lithium and rare earth elements of exceptionally high grades, positioning Nigeria among emerging destinations for strategic mineral resources and sustainable mining investment,” he added.

Mr Alake said the discovery comes amid efforts by the federal government to reposition the mining sector as a major contributor to economic growth and industrialisation.

He noted that the administration of President Bola Tinubu has prioritised the solid minerals sector as part of its economic diversification agenda, with reforms aimed at attracting investment, strengthening regulation and promoting local value addition.

According to the minister, the government has revoked more than 3,000 inactive and non-performing mineral titles as part of efforts to improve transparency and ensure that mining licences are held by operators capable of developing them.

“We have focused on restoring discipline in licensing, strengthening compliance, improving transparency and ensuring that mineral assets are held by operators with the capacity and intention to develop them,” he noted.

He said the government is also seeking to move away from exporting raw minerals by requiring mining lease applicants to submit plans for local processing and value addition.

He also highlighted that the policy has contributed to growing investment in lithium processing facilities and mineral refining projects across the country.

Among the projects cited by the minister are an $800 million lithium processing investment, a $600 million lithium processing facility in Nasarawa State, a $200 million lithium plant near Abuja awaiting commissioning and a $1 billion iron ore-to-steel project in Kogi State.

The minister said revenue generated from the mining sector has increased significantly since the reforms began.

According to him, annual revenue rose from about N6 billion before the current administration took office to more than N38 billion in 2024 and exceeded N70 billion by the end of 2025.

“Our revenue performance has improved significantly,” he said.

The announcement coincided with the unveiling of an estimated 3.3 million metric tonnes of lithium reserves by Steron Mining and Company Limited during a tour of its mining site in Abuja for summit participants.
