The Real Puppet Masters: Prof. Chris Imumolen Unmasks the Faces Behind Nigeria’s Insecurity


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYd94xrCY_0?si=uE0nK-z88W39PrbY


While many focus on the gunmen in the streets, Prof. Chris Imumolen argues that we are looking at the wrong target. In this explosive video, he strips away the layers of propaganda to reveal that the "real enemy" isn't the foot soldier, but the powerful sponsors and financiers orchestrating chaos for selfish political and economic gain. These hidden actors strategically strike at Nigeria's most vulnerable points, not just to cause harm, but to systematically weaken the economy and shatter the public's faith in leadership. Watching this video is essential for anyone who wants to understand why traditional security measures aren't working and who is truly profiting from the nation's instability.

The former youngest presidential candidate doesn't just identify the problem; he issues a bold challenge to both the government and the citizenry to stop being victims of blackmail. He insists that the safety of lives and property must transcend political loyalty, calling for a massive investment in intelligence, forest guards, and technology to expose the powerful elite hiding behind the curtain. As citizens, we are urged to reject the narratives that turn us against one another and instead join a unified front against those trading in blood.


Watch the full video now to discover why Prof. Imumolen believes the fight for a secure Nigeria is one that no citizen can afford to sit out.
The Prof has spoken.

Are they the ones that will rewrite and approve the revised educational policies? Will tech bros have the required authority, to examine, assess and certify students across various disciplines? And while the tech bros are carrying out this your proposed educational coup, what are the people who are legally responsible for such, expected to do?

This is what happens when an undeveloped or immature brain, and minimally unaware mind is over exposed and hyper stimulated by experiences it was not developed enough for

She has ascended to such heights of dopamine stimulation, and has therefore dropped to a much lower level of the same, that She is going to need a much higher dose than She needed before, but yet may not afford, as much as before. (I don't mean to say She is poor, but, for example, does she have as easy access to private Jets as she had , to go from shore to shore?)

And now She is bored.

The tendency is to want to chase a higher high. But the emergency is best healed by learning to sit with the boredom that is nigh...to sit with the boredom... and sit with the boredom,.. until it is done and gone.

So help us God.

Read that and stop discouraging people. UK is far better than any African country
If your entire point was about 1) me discouraging people and 2) UK being better than any African country. Then i can respond.

1. I have not discouraged anyone from travelling. I have siblings (same mother and father)who are permanent residents in UK, Canada and US so i have a realistic picture of things. I am just asking people to not relocate based on illusions and false fantasies

2. UK is better than any African country? Better Based on what parameters. Taxes? Racism? Immigration issues? Cost of living? Weather? Do you know that the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth? Or that it is one of the cloudiest, least sunny countries in the world? Do you know that there are at least 5 countries with much better GDP growth than the Uk? Do you know that every single African country except perhaps a few tiny island nations is larger than the UK?

Even if it is true that UK is better? Is everyone in UK better off than everyone in Africa? The obvious answer is a resounding NO! There are people who are poor in Uk and there are people who are rich in Africa. There are people like my Dad who can travel to the UK but dont like to stay even one day longer than they have to.

My key point is: "better" depends entirely on what metrics matter to you. So stop making generalizations like every African youth can only improve their chances if they Japa. That is what I mean by Lazy thinking.

P.S. Like many people working 3 jobs abroad, You can be hardworking but still Lazy in your thinking approach to success and wealth creation
.

I hope you understand where I am coming from and wont continue arguing just for the sake of disagreeing.

He should relocate to a country like UK and see how much free money he can get away with.

Nah its l azy people like you who think and allow the ills of the society weigh them, just like the wheelbarrow, it stays where you leave them until you start again, cos you cannot see beyond your nose, you do not realize in todays money 510 pounds is more than a million naira. In the UK and average single youth saves up to iK pounds a month and send home to his Nigerian account this is nearly N2m per month, you call this Lazy, all yah must be Dangote in your household, I'm stating facts here you are here talking gibberish. You tell me the laziness of someone saving almost N2m monthly through honest work in the UK,does this until they turn 30 and return to Nigeria to do his dream Business? I challenge you to show me the laziness in that. You mentioned criminality, my friend I think you are out of touch, people come to the UK to do Masters and find work afterwards. I know those who came via COS paid up to N20m and where being ridiculed but they have swap their COS unto the ministry of Justice and earn just below 40K pounds B4 overtime pays, My lil cozen he is 21,5yrs old, he does not want to live in the UK permanent, so he is keeping a low profile and saving all his earnings, he is going to do that for at least till he turns 30 so he says then Foxtrot Oscar to Nigeria ,he already banking lands, if all goes well he might just have up to N300 to 400m by the time he returns God willing, how's is this lazy?If you look deeply, you will realize that a sizeable percentage of all our politicians came abroad to hustle for their initial Money, ava look. You mentioned Intimidate, why would I want to do that,? and you also mentioned millions blah blahh blah, I don't engage in competition of measuring Dycks but whatever floats your paper, anyone can be anything online.

you missed the point and took the post wrongly. Now calling a person you don't know Lazy proves you are way too lazy to digest the post and make an informed decision ,By initial Capital, it means the ready initial funds in Millions to start a business in Nigeria, If one can raise N50m and they are less than 30 years Old, the sky is their limit i n Nigeria cos they can do proper Biz, now tell me where in Nigeria can someone less than 30 raise N50m in savings to start business? What bank is g oing to give him that money? however if a 22 year old person comes to the UK legally, he can save that up easy if he wants to, very easy,YOu term fast money as being lazy,Coming abroad to earn quick is fast money and I kid you not, there aint nothing lazy about it, at 25, I had my masters Degree already in the UK.To save Ik pounds monthly is very easy for a young single person under 30 years old
Whatever makes you feel good.

While i avoid generalizing, I did see a common thread of lazy thinking in your initial response. And the fact that you jumped to millions further buttresses my suspicions.

You want to jump from zero to millions, which is how lazy minds think. You are not even ready to be faithful in 10,000 naira but you are lookimg for millions first, before you think you can start, millions that you dont believe you can ever have in naija except as a criminal. Yet you somehow find a way to have, when you want to japa. Oh, i guess that also is only by criminality. You See why i think you and such people are lazy mindedhuh

Maybe i was wrong. And , maybe i was right.

Meanwhile, I am at the point in my life, where my advance for legit work that doesnt require me reporting to any office is in the millions. So don't expect me to be intimidated by such amounts like you.

But if you travel go like UK/US, you can raise Initial funds fast to start business back in Nigeria in less than 2 years, paper or no paper.
Guy, not everybody is borne in the same circumstance as you are, so dont assume..

Also, what do you mean by initial capital?. It is not about how much but how faithful and prudent you are to grow it.

I know a Woman who has sponsored children up to univerisy abroad with only plantain. beginning from humble retailer and roaster of plantain to a.major supplier.

Personally i would need to earn up to at least 20 x more, to live the quality of life over there that I am.living here. And i dont do.any illegal business.

A lot of you are just lazy and want fast money. But you will learn that there is no fast money anywhere.

He is only telling you that it is not all Rosey. I won't tell you not to travel though. It's good to go and make the money.
You people always speak like there is no money to be made in your home country. And that money can only be made abroad.

Part of the thinking is the exchange rate, but they dont factor in the high taxes and the fact that they wont be spending naira for their bills over there.

The biggest problem i see is that many people lack a sense of purpose and identity. So they are quick to go, wherever the crowds go and wherever the wind blows. A lack of purpose and warped money and survival driven mindsets.

Are you guys regretting your traveling to UK.....?
Travel with a Plan. Travel with sense. Travel with your eyes open, and not with a rose colored lense. If possible, travel while maintaining a source of income in your home country.

People like me prefer to travel and return. Travel with a goal, acheieve it in a few months or not more than a year, and return home. For.me, there is no place like home.
FamilyRe: My Pregnant Wife Disappeared In The Middle Of The Night After A Misunderstanding by TheGift: 5:56pm On May 21
Ehinjuola:
Please, I need sincere advice because my mind is not at rest anymore. What started as a normal family visit has suddenly turned into something I never imagined in my life.
My wife and I went to her family house to discuss our forthcoming engagement and other marriage arrangements since she is already pregnant. The discussion took longer than expected, and before we knew it, it was already late in the evening. To make matters worse, rain started falling heavily, and getting transportation back home became very difficult.

I was outside in the rain, moving around and searching for a vehicle that could convey us and my uncle, who accompanied me, back home safely. Throughout that stressful moment, my wife didn’t even seem concerned. She stayed where she was without making any effort to assist or even show worry about the situation. Surprisingly, her mother later came out to meet me at the roadside, praying and hoping we would find a vehicle soon. Even her father’s younger brother joined me in searching for transportation.

After almost one hour, we finally got a cab. While we were inside the vehicle, my wife tried to start a conversation, but I was already upset and disappointed, so I kept quiet. After dropping my uncle close to his destination, we continued our journey home in silence.

At some point on the road, I finally spoke out in anger. I asked her why she behaved so unconcerned despite the fact that we came to her family house for something very important concerning our future together. Instead of calming things down, she became angry too and started saying hurtful words back at me.

As we were walking home, she suddenly said she wanted to ease herself by the roadside. Because I was still angry, I continued walking slowly ahead without paying much attention. After a few minutes, I looked back and realized she was no longer behind me.
I immediately returned to the exact spot where she said she wanted to ease herself, but I couldn’t find her anywhere.
Since that night, my wife has been missing for 4 days.

I have contacted her mother several times, but she told me not to report the matter to her father yet. According to her, she believes her daughter is safe and will eventually return home. But honestly, I’m becoming very suspicious and confused. Part of me feels she may know where my wife is hiding, but I can’t say for sure.

What keeps disturbing me the most is this: Where did my pregnant wife sleep that night? Who is she with? Is she safe? And why would she disappear without contacting anyone for 4 days?

Right now, I’m emotionally exhausted and scared. I truly love my wife despite our misunderstanding, and I never imagined something like this would happen over an argument.

Please, experienced married men and women on this forum, what should I do at this point? Should I involve her father and report this officially, or should I still keep waiting and hope she comes back on her own?
Hmmmm...

It isn't about living long, but the quality of the life you live.

Now if you think a drug addict has a better quality of life than someone who isn't, you must be high
They said smoke weed, not drug addict.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is hooked on Ketamine, which like many other drugs and addictions, is way worse. Marijuana has many medical uses and shouldnt be grouped with other drugs in these kind of discussions.

FamilyRe: What My Wife Did, Is This Wrong Or Its Nothing. by TheGift: 9:58pm On May 19
menaxe:
Something happened in my house this evening that’s been bothering me, and I’d like your honest advice.

My wife went out for a girls hangout. When she came back, she didn’t notice I was in the parking lot watching.

She called the gateman over, brought out her leg, and told him to remove her shoe. He took off the first canvas shoe, then the second. She didn’t notice I was there.

After he removed the shoes, she told him to take them to the cobbler for repair.

I just watched and didn’t say anything at the time. It looked to me like she was overusing the gateman, and it didn’t sit right with me.

Later, I called her aside and told her what she did was wrong but she said she didn’t know it was wrong and didn’t see the issue. I asked her what she meant by “it’s not wrong,” and she just repeated that she didn’t know.

Now I’m confused. I don’t know if I’m overreacting, overstepping, or making too much of it.

Nairalanders, please tell me honestly — is this wrong, or am I out of line here?

Thank you.
Is taking off her shoes, part of the gate Man's job description?

Tell me you are a fake or ignorant pastor, without telling me you are one. The church is not meant to be partisan or meddling in political campaigns.

Your responsibility is to rightly divide the word of truth, so that people can make the right decisions for their lives and Godliness. Then pray for leaders and be a good citizen.
