"Our social systems can condition people to a point where government's actions that is meant to do good, is misunderstood as anti-people, because they have become accustomed to the good, and the benefits of the good, even when that good becomes destructive, like the fuel subsidy." — Felix Morka

Sad to hear of the passing of veteran actor, Chief Kola Oyewo. A true icon of Nigerian theatre and cinema, he graced our screens with unforgettable performances in Saworoide as Oba Lapite, The Gods Are Not to Blame, Sango, Koseegbe, and many other classics. He was 80 years old. May his soul rest in peace. Hon Akin Alabi Ajia Olubadan of Ibadanland

In any democratic setting, every protest must be thoroughly planned and executed. No protest must be disorganised and violent. Violence is not protest. You consult, consolidate before you confront. The principles (consultation, consolidation and confrontation) are clear and effective in any struggle. Ire oo.

OPERATION HADIN KAI FRUSTRATES COORDINATED TERRORIST ATTACKS, RESCUES CIVILIANS, DISRUPTS INSURGENT LOGISTICS NETWORKS The Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), has continued to consolidate its operational dominance across the North-East, recording significant successes against Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists through a series of well-coordinated offensive and security operations conducted between 11 and 12 June 2026. The operations resulted in the rescue of abducted civilians, arrest of suspected terrorist collaborators and logistics suppliers, recovery of arms and operational stores, as well as the decisive defeat of multiple terrorist attempts to undermine security within the theatre. In a major humanitarian and operational success, troops of Sector 2, while conducting fighting and perimeter clearance patrols around the Amuda general area on 11 June 2026, rescued three abducted children identified as Ali Usman (15), Umar Ibrahim Abubakar (15), and Fatima Abubakar (12). Preliminary investigations revealed that the victims escaped from terrorist enclaves at SAHA and CHINENE in the Mandara Mountains following sustained military offensives that have continued to degrade and dislocate insurgent strongholds across the region. After profiling and documentation, the children were safely reunited with community leaders in Ngoshe. Similarly, on 12 June 2026, troops of Sector 3 swiftly responded to a terrorist kidnapping attempt along the Damasak–Gubio Main Supply Route and successfully rescued six civilians abandoned by fleeing terrorists following aggressive troop pursuit around the Kareto area. In further demonstrations of operational effectiveness, troops of 68 Battalion at Mallam Fatori thwarted an attempted terrorist reconnaissance mission after successfully ambushing suspected ISWAP scouts and recovering an AK-47 rifle with a loaded magazine containing 31 rounds of ammunition. Concurrently, troops of Sector 3 operating at Check Point 61 intercepted eleven suspects travelling in two civilian vehicles under suspicious circumstances. Preliminary investigations linked the individuals to attempts at recovering vehicles belonging to known terrorist logistics collaborators previously sighted supporting insurgent activities around Ali Sheriffti. In a related operation, troops of Sector 2 at Mandaragirau arrested a suspected terrorist logistics courier, Malahi Liman Muhammad, along the Mandaragirau–Sabon Gari axis. Recovered items included large quantities of herbicides, blankets, salt, food supplies, mobile phones, and other materials suspected to be intended for terrorist sustenance and operational support. The suspects are currently undergoing further investigation. The resilience and combat superiority of OPHK troops were once again demonstrated in the early hours of 12 June 2026 when heavily armed Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists mounted a coordinated three-pronged attack against troops of Sector one at the COP Bridge location. The terrorists, operating with four gun trucks and several motorcycles, launched simultaneous assaults from the Wurge, Manawaji, and Kinuba axes. However, the attack was decisively repelled through the gallant resistance of troops, reinforced by timely artillery and mortar fire support. The terrorists were forced into a disorderly retreat, abandoning large quantities of combat equipment. Subsequent exploitation operations along their withdrawal route led to the recovery of three Rocket Propelled Grenade launchers, seven High Explosive Anti-Tank rounds, and other unexploded ordnance. Ground traces, including dragged bloodstains and body marks, indicated significant enemy casualties during the failed assault. Regrettably, one soldier sustained injuries from RPG fragments and is currently receiving medical attention.

Of the top 3 presidential candidates in the coming general election: - President Bola Tinubu - Alhaji Atiku Abubakar - Mr. Peter Obi Considering all equations and permutations, the outcome will be: - President Tinubu: 1st - Alhaji Atiku: 2nd - Mr. Peter Obi: 3rd Bookmark this!

When Bola Ahmed Tinubu showed interest in succeeding Buhari, it came to me as a surprise, not because of doubts about his capacity, but because he broke with political convention. Unlike typical successors who align closely with the incumbent, Tinubu kept his distance from Buhari’s government in tone and positioning. He instead focused on quiet coalition-building across parties, blocs, and power centers 🙆😄 classic long-game Tinubu political engineering. While figures like Yemi Osinbajo have ambitions of their own, Tinubu stayed in the background, steadily consolidating structure and influence. He didn’t rely on loyalty optics; he relied on alliances. And in the end, strategy outweighed sentiment.

PRESS RELEASE DEFENCE HEADQUARTERS MOURNS THE PASSING OF RETIRED MAJOR GENERAL RABE ABUBAKAR, REAFFIRMS RESOLVE TO ERADICATE TERRORISM The Defence Headquarters regrets to announce the passing of Major General Rabe Abubakar (Retired), who tragically lost his life in captivity following his abduction. The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) convey its deepest sympathies to the Abubakar family, his colleagues and all Nigerians. Maj Gen Abubakar served the nation with distinction and held many appointments including spokesperson of various military formations as well as spokesman for the AFN as Director Defence Information. He made immense contributions to counter-insurgency operations, professional development of the AFN and numerous other commendable and outstanding impacts. His commitment to duty and to the unity of Nigeria remains a shining example for all personnel of the AFN. The Defence Headquarters withheld public comment on his abduction in deference to ongoing rescue efforts by the AFN and sister security agencies. Every operational resource was deployed in the hope of securing his safe return. This sad loss further strengthens the resolve of the AFN. We will remain resolute in the discharge of our constitutional mandate to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria and to protect all citizens. In response to series of unfortunate abductions across Nigeria including that of Maj Gen Abubakar, ongoing operations have since been further intensified to bring perpetrators to justice and to dismantle all terrorist networks threatening our nation. We assure Nigerians that the Armed Forces will not relent until peace and security are restored and those responsible for terrorists activities across the nation are held to account. SAMAILA UBA Major General Director Defence Information 13 June 2026

Under Governor Fashola, Mr. Oladimeji Oresanya was a UK-trained environmental management specialist in charge of LAWMA, while Commissioner for Environment was Dr. Muiz Banire. They carried out several waste management reforms, including strengthening the PSP system ensured they came 3 times weekly, improved landfill management, and ran various environmental sanitation campaigns. If a waste crisis of this scale had happened under their watch, they would have addressed the public long ago to explain what was going on. Public communication cannot be overemphasized. Every good governor must ensure they have a good team. It is very important. 📷: F1: Dr. Oladimeji Oresanya former LAWMA Boss under Gov.
