“Oyo Is Not Chibok” — Makinde Makes Bold Promise Over Abducted Students

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has assured residents that the state will not experience a tragedy similar to the Chibok schoolgirls' abduction, pledging to do everything possible to secure the safe return of abducted students and teachers.

Speaking during a public engagement, the governor declared that he was ready to make personal sacrifices if necessary to bring the victims home safely.

His statement has sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians praising his commitment while urging authorities to strengthen security across schools and communities.

As rescue efforts continue, families and residents remain hopeful for the safe return of the abducted students and teachers.

# Oyo Is Not Chibok — But Children Are Not Political Props

The Oyo kidnapping is too serious for political theatre.

VDM has every right to speak, protest and demand action. But when grief becomes content and tragedy becomes stagecraft, we must ask hard questions.

Is the goal rescue, or relevance?

Is the aim pressure, or performance?

Because abducted children are not campaign material.

Makinde too must be careful. Saying “Oyo is not Chibok” may sound bold, but families do not need slogans. They need results, coordination, intelligence, rescue and communication.



Not activists.

Not politicians.

Not media influencers.

The facts are painful: armed men attacked schools in Oriire LGA on May 15, and reports say dozens of pupils, students and teachers were abducted. ICIR reported 46 victims; Vanguard reported Makinde’s vow that Oyo would not become Chibok.

So let us be clear.

Hold government accountable.

Demand urgent rescue.

Question security failures.

But stop converting abducted children into political currency.

Nigeria needs sober action, not emotional choreography.

It is 💯%. Designed to damage the political standing of Tinubu approaching the January election.

Very funny.

Make una handle the matter..No be everything una go.dey expect our inputs

Hmm... hopefully.

But unfortunately, the whole thing is beginning to look like a political gig, and that is deeply troubling.

This is precisely what some of us fear VDM is turning it into — content creation, grandstanding and performative activism.

There is a difference between demanding accountability and making yourself the centre of the story.

The kidnapped children should be the focus, not the influencer.

Families need results, not reels.

They need rescue, not rhetoric.

Activism is not a movie set, and national tragedies are not opportunities for personal branding.

Makinde too should resist the temptation of dramatic sound bites and concentrate on delivering results.

This is not the time for political theatre.

Children are in captivity.

The cameras can wait.

If indeed this is what it is becoming, then that is profoundly unfortunate.

There is something deeply disturbing about the politics of blood — the tendency to convert human tragedy into political ammunition.

Children are abducted, families are shattered, communities are traumatized, and before rescue efforts even gain momentum, some people are already calculating headlines, harvesting outrage and positioning for political advantage.

That is not activism.

That is opportunism.

There is a difference between holding government accountable and turning suffering into a campaign strategy.

There is a difference between advocacy and political ambulance chasing.

If the primary objective is to weaken Tinubu ahead of an election rather than secure the release of innocent children, then we have crossed a dangerous moral line.

Because no election is worth the blood, tears and fears of innocent Nigerians.

The kidnapped children must never become props in anybody's political theatre.

Not for government.

Not for opposition.

Not for influencers.

Not for content creators.

Human tragedy should unite us in compassion, not divide us into partisan camps.

The politics of blood is perhaps the ugliest form of politics because it feeds on pain and profits from fear.

And that is something decent people, regardless of political affiliation, should reject.

Yet, Tinubu continues to campaign while Seyi Makinde is being blackmailed if he attempts to do so.

"I will put fire in their states" comes to mind. We wonder the nature of the fire he was referring to.

Stop using ChatGPT and use your brain.

My friend, if you can use ChatGPT without your brain, then the problem is not ChatGPT.

It is the absence of the brain. 😂

Tools do not replace thinking. They amplify it.

Which is why I keep bringing arguments while you keep bringing complaints about the arguments.

what a 🤡

Yorubaland is now chibok
Fulani herdsmen and bandits have completely taken over Yorubaland and this one is still promising to sacrifice himself instead of entering forest to find them.

he man who kept fg relief funds for the ibadan mining explosion?

issokay

You're the only yoruba brave leader currently.

Others are just following tinubu like sheep.

The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces is not interested.
Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC is used to playing politics with our destiny to fight for power, grab it and run with it since before 2015.

How do we rescue ourselves from these APC leaders looters and return to safer days of PDP prosperity, stability and peace with cheap petrol and lower debt burden

…says Nigeria experienced economic development during Jonathan’s administration

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, said the protest that trailed the fuel subsidy removal during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was due to political interests.

Fayemi said this in his keynote address delivered at a national dialogue organised to celebrate the 60th birthday celebration of the founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy and Fellow, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Professor Udenta Udenta in Abuja.

The programme was attended by Jonathan, former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili; former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, among others.

The PUNCH reports that on January 1, 2012, President Goodluck announced the removal of fuel subsidy and adjusted the pump price of petrol from N65 per litre to N141.

The decision sparked mass protests, tagged ‘Occupy Nigeria’ across major cities of the country.

The price was later re-adjusted to N97, after more than a week of protests.

Petrol price was later reduced to N87 in 2015.

Jonathan faced serious backlash for the fuel price adjustment, especially from leaders of the All Progressives Congress, who were then in different opposition parties, including the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressives Congress, All Nigeria Peoples Party, and All Progressive Grand Alliance.

Shots fired.
Some charlatans that used chibok for their political weapon to remove a government will get offended.

lies.

The sacrifice you didn't do till a teacher was beheaded only means you have nothing to do

An Ayelala go hammer u

See nonsense talk

U wey get security na him wan sacrifice himself

You have Ogboni plenty in Oyo ... You have prayer mountains plenty in Oyo ... You even have a personal mosque despite being a Christian... So what happen to our spiritual guardians, the battle is to be fought both ways...so the strong hearts becomes soft ....

If Tinubu ready he should just round up Makinde and Atiku, the truth will come out. We don’t need a prophet to know this has pdp written all over it.

Looks like some people doesn't like the fact that VDM is the one doing this. I don't understand the kind of brain they're using though.

Government needs pressure from every angle to rescue those children but all you care about is the guy using it for clout, as how?

I rather believe a cow drinking garri that this makinde balablu

Oya go enter bush dey look for them..


He get mouth

the Oyo children and theachers will be released very soon...



This I have seen

Go and create your own content too as long as government is pressured and those kids get rescued. Most of you can't even think critically again because of ChatGPT. Those creating stupid content and skits, dulling your ability to reason are there.

But someone who's actually trying to get the government to listen up is the one creating content.

Everything you wrote self is AI. Can't form your own sentences. Abeg getat.

Talk is cheap
Stop all this cho cho cho

How many weeks already ?
