And what was their own score while holding sway under Buhari and Osinbajo ? Kettle calling pots black ! Unfortunately, he failed to score himself while busy impoverishing the Osun people while serving as the state's governor. Unpaid salaries, poor citizen/government relation and percentage payment of salaries to selected civil servants. |
DonADESIDA:His claim does not make him to be who he said he is. Go and report him to security agencies to get justice . |
Both are of the same stock ! No finesse !! OBJ, to.me was invited to the event to make a statement to those holding PDP "convention" in ibadan.... In all honesty, OBJ over yawn |
DonADESIDA:Lols.....are you sure, it's not just a ploy to instigate the DSS to help you smoke him out for apprehension ? ![]() |

Pierocash:Bros, go back and read the comprehension passage again, pls. It will do us good ! |
Kudos to the ooerativez of the agency ! |
Amen, indeed! Although some of us don’t really fancy how some politicians handled things and governed us while they were in power, I, for one, would never pray for anyone to die at a relatively young age.... Meanwhile, If you’re still alive, I hope you’ll take this opportunity as a rare second chance to serve God and His people. |
May God comfort his family, and grant peace to the departed soul |
Good for them ! However, how many of them would have hailed him or cheered him up if any of their own relation were victims of IPOB/ESN abducIins or killings ? This guy has wrecked more evil on his people than good. You want to doubt this - ask the families of Akunyili or those who were victims of his evil creation, the IPOB. |

Viewers of Arise TV's morning show appreciate the guests who show up because they respond to invitations. However, if Rufai's perceived unprofessional behavior towards sone guests, especially members of the ruling political party, continues, guests might stop accepting invites, which would ultimately highlight his poor work ethic. Often, his approach has been criticized as rude and unethical, ans unbecoming of a seasoned journalist. He should learn from channel's TV anchors of similar morning show, or are we saying those Channels' guys are not doing a wonderful work ? Well, i hope he'll reflect on his methods before he is left with no job. |
Even when some of his claims are not truthful ! I like him as a person, but he is misleading a lot of our youth into believing things that are not factual. |
Personnel of DSS are expected to be above average in almost everything, including academics. If you guys are complaining about your inability to pass exams, then I doubt if some of you are fit for the job . Blaming people for your academic failure is sure a sign of a FAILURE. Do.you know what it takes to be an FBI or a CIA Agent in America. I hope the management of DSS Would use the opportunity as presented to weed out those unsuitable to be on her payroll out of that Service, so that those with brain can enlist and help the nation solve her problem of insecurity |

This is an apt response to those calling themselves men of God but has no iota of resemblance of christ. I doubt if these guys are even born again! |
Believing social media news at your own peril! 😏 I doubt if there was any abduction of NNPCL GMD as we're being made to believe by people's gazete 🤑. The current DGSS doesn't appear as someone's lapdog 👮, especially going by his recent strides 🔥 which by all standards conform with rule of law 💯. I think he has distinguished himself not just being the best but also a respecter of human rights. Same for the gentleman at the helms of EFCC. |
Remembered when it was being built |
Big lie ! |
Thanks for this article! |
By Taiwo Adisa In the middle of February 2025, the Alumni Association of the National Institute of Security Studies (AANISS) held its maiden annual lecture in Abuja. On that occasion, the Director General, Department of State Services (DG, DSS), Mr. Adeola Ajayi showcased the comedian in him when he cracked not a few ribs. Many mouths were left ajar that a man sitting on such a hot seat could humour his guests that much. Ajayi had told the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, chairman of the occasion, that the decision of the Canadian government to deny him and some military officers visa to enable them to attend a sporting event in Vancouver, was due to the covert operations of the secret service. He said that General Musa “underrated” the DSS and was made to pay for his “crime. Ajayi had said: “As much as I like General Musa, he underrated me. I have spent 35 years in this job, but for political appointments, I should be on my way out by April… and all I’ve learnt is covertness, how to do things covertly. General Musa, you made a mistake with me.” He said that the service was shocked that after Musa had agreed to chair the event, he started processing a Canadian visa. “So, we covertly made sure we denied you. So, my dear General, next time when you hear of DSS, and under a leadership like mine, who has swag on the job, don’t underrate us, when you leave here, you can see me, you get your Canadian visa. We wanted you to be here so you couldn’t have been in Vancouver.” After succeeding in cracking the ribs of his guests, the DG went on to proffer some solutions to what is fast becoming the intractable insurgency challenge in the country. I am even surprised that weeks after his submission, the national and sub-national governments are not thinking of how to adopt his position as policy directions to tackle insurgency in the land. According to Ajayi, there is the need to make Nigerian citizens the first layer of defence against attacks by bandits and insurgents, because there is no way a security agency would muster the resources to guard every inch of a nation’s land mass. He related his experience while serving as Bauchi State Director of the service to back up his submissions on what he called the practical approach towards curbing terrorism. According to him, the story of Azare community in Bauchi State and Tafawa Balewa, another area of the same state, provides clear examples on the way to go in tackling the menace of insurgency and banditry. Hear the DG: “Speaking seriously about the practical approach to mobilizing to curb insecurity, I will share experience with you when I was state director in Bauchi. Most of you would remember an incident in Azare. A group of terrorists, Boko Haram, had invaded Azare. They were shooting in an attempt to kidnap, and the community chased them. They killed some members of the community, but the community members killed all of them. The last guy, Khalid, climbed a tree and was firing. The community stood. They were resilient, and they killed Khalid. “Since that day, there has not been one terrorist attack on Azare. As a matter of fact, the former head of state, General Ibrahim Babangida, said, ‘if we want to stop or curb this terrorism, we should emulate the Azare example.’ Tafawa Balewa was also a community that used to be in flames in Bauchi. And the people of Bogoro and some parts of Tafawa Balewa, where the Sayawas are, know their terrains better, climb on trees and mountains and when the invaders came, they did not only repel them, they seized their weapons and since then you can attest to it that you hardly hear about Tafawa Balewa again. “What I am trying to say, the practical approach to mobilizing people is that you have to get everyone involved. You did not expect the Nigerian Army, Police, or DSS to protect every Nigerian or every community. It is not going to work. In the US, if you visit someone in the house, you will be shocked that when the guy hears a police siren, he will just pull his drawer, pull out his gun, and keep it. So, one of my hosts did that and I asked him, ‘why did you do that, and he said, if they are chasing someone, and he enters my house, I will shoot him first’. And that is the layer we have to start thinking about. How can we create the first layer of defence. The military, police and all the security agencies are to deal with the bigger one. The organised ones. But it is impossible for us to deploy to every community in the country. It is unimaginable that any security agency has resources to do that.” The DG further told his listeners that as they leave the venue of the lecture, they should go with the readiness to create the first line of defence in the communities, such that the people would be prepared to act as the “first line of defence.” In a rhetorical tone, he asked what our culture is and answered by saying that our culture is communal. “We have ceremonies together. Festivals together, wedding ceremonies together. So why can’t we fight some miscreants, some charlatans among us together.” He submitted that a community should say that terrorists cannot come near it. “That is what Tafawa Balewa had done. If you go to that community to attack them, you will be sorry for yourself… The DG hit the nail on the head when he frankly submitted that the system must allow a level of armament among our communities to ensure that they are able to act as the true first line of defence. He said: “We have to allow some level of armament for the communities, and they can serve as first line of defence.” He added that the elite in the society should be able to influence how communities secure some approvals that would ensure that the people can act as the first line of defence. He further submitted: “You can imagine, one community, call it Sector Four, or whatever, call the Army that they were attacking the community. Before they (the Army) get there, they (the miscreants) have attacked another community. That security starts from you.” He told the audience that as long as human beings exist, there would always be insecurity and that the world had seen different layers of crime, including revolutions, plane hijacks, and so on. “People say there is security problem in Nigeria. As long as human beings exist, there would always be security problems,” he stated. He added: “We have to take that mentality away. What are the security agencies doing? Who apart from a tree knows that they want to come and cut him and would remain standing. I don’t know whether we should commend Mr. Ajayi for breaking the stereotypical chain of security officers in the country who talk tongue-in-cheek on such matters. We must just commend him for telling the truth as it is. This must be one of the rare occasions we hear an officer of state speak to the issue of insecurity the way it should be. But besides hearing him tell the truth, governments at all levels must make something out of what he had said. If we cannot license all Nigerians who wish to own a gun, we should be able to license vigilante groups and community security outfits to defend the people and prevent cheap, untimely deaths. Many Nigerians have clamoured for gun licensing in the country, but the official position has always been laming and unhelpful. ‘Oh! It will lead to an escalation in gun crime and violence’! ‘It will lead to many untimely deaths and so forth’. But the flip side of that argument is always avoided. If a criminal knows that he is going to encounter resistance in an area of operation, he will think twice. It is a pity we already have the examples of Azare and Tafawa Balewa in this country, yet we hear of bandits and their midnight raids on communities becoming commonplace. Just recently, the same chilling and nauseating stories rented the hear in Ondo State when some 40 persons were mowed down by terrorists in a midnight raid on four communities. Reports indicated that the affected villages in Akure North Local Government Area include Aba Alajido, Aba Sunday, Aba Pastor, and Ademekun, were invaded by gunmen at night, leaving many dead and several fleeing their abodes. Hear a resident: “They attacked our communities on Friday night when everyone was asleep. They opened fire at everyone in sight. So many ran to the bush for safety while some unlucky ones were killed in the villages. I am sure that over 40 people have been killed while many have sustained injuries.” I think the launch of this sort of attack on Ondo soil should not only send clear signals to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and his cabinet that: Ise wa fun won lati se; even though that’s a line from another states’ anthem, but it should also tell the Ondo State chapter of Amotekun its time to double its efforts. Accounts of the victims looked exactly like the ones we heard from Plateau, Benue, and the insurgency-ravaged areas. When we are not at war, why would anyone launch an attack on a people who were peacefully enjoying their rest after a day’s hard work? What is the essence of that attack, particularly when slavery and slave trade-the driving force behind such raids in centuries past are no longer in practice. Whether it is Ondo, Zamfara, Katsina, or Borno, attacks by bandits and insurgents must be terminated, and like the DG DSS said, the time to do that is Now! https://newspotng.com/the-dg-dss-is-making-a-lot-of-sense-by-taiwo-adisathe-dg-dss-is-making-a-lot-of-sense-by-taiwo-adisa/ |
