Insecurity: When will Nigeria be Safe again?

There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly. We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause. Our education system has been deeply compromised. A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous: “You do not need competence to succeed.” WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.” And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear. It won’t. A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses. This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from. Not because Nigerians are not intelligent. Not because our youths are lazy. But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered. The painful part is this: UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum. The difference is standards. The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud. The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized. Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly. And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price. That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge. That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient. That compromised accountant may manage public funds. That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again. This is no longer just an education problem. It is a national security problem. Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely. Singapore did it. China did it. Germany did it. South Korea did it. You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity. Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent. Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence. And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence. This fight is bigger than schools. It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.

After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on. I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships. I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days. Catalonia is my place on earth. Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years. A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career. Barça is back where it belongs. Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️ @fcbarcelona

Russia is banned from the World Cup for invading, occupying, and killing civilians. Israel is doing all of that with U.S. backing So FIFA suddenly needs nuance, process, committees, and legal review. Apparently war crimes become “too complex” when the weapons have American receipts.

I was 21. NYSC posting: a village clinic in Osun. No light. No water. Just me, a matron in her 60s, and women who walked 3 hours for antenatal. Day 1, a 16 year old girl came in bleeding and pregnant. Her 40-year old husband said, “It’s normal. First baby always hard.” Matron took one look at me and said, “Corper, you go learn today.” We had no ultrasound or blood bank. Just gloves, faith, and a torchlight I held with my mouth while Matron’s hands disappeared inside that child. For 6 hours we fought. The girl was slipping. Matron prayed in Igala and English. I cried, thinking, “This is why I wanted to japa.” 😂 Then the baby’s cry came; a small, angry boy, alive. The 14-year-old whispered, “Aunty, thank you for not running.” 😭 Covered in blood and sweat, Matron said: “You think this work na for money? This work na for the girls who don’t know their own worth yet. You stay. You fight. You stubborn. Because if we no stubborn, who go be stubborn for them?” That was 5 years ago. Today I’m a doctor in Lagos with a clinic in Abule Egba. Every girl who comes in with “normal period pain” that’s been killing her for years reminds me of that torchlight and Matron’s hands. I get stubborn. I’ve diagnosed 47 cases of advanced PID this year, done 12 fibroid surgeries, and caught 3 girls early before their wombs got damaged. Ladies, my message is simple: 1. “Normal” pain that stops your school, work, or life? It’s NOT normal. 2. Your body is not “village people.” It’s biology. Test it. Scan it. Know it. 3. Be stubborn about your health. The world will call you dramatic. Be dramatic and alive. That matron died 2 years ago, but her stubbornness lives in every girl I refuse to let die quietly.

This is why you people end up in jail abroad.

The Bible was unequivocally used to enslave Africans. I know most Africans shy away from this debate because their entire identity, from childhood, was forged through blind obedience to a colonial text and bowing before a white Jesus on a crucifix. But if we are serious about liberating the Black mind, we must strip emotion from revolutionary debates and embrace cold pragmatism. If it were merely a matter of "misinterpreting" the Bible, that would be a minor issue. But the entire Christian Church was an active participant, serving as the spiritual guarantor of the transatlantic slave trade. Bishops owned massive plantations. Priests stood on the docks and blessed the slave ships before they set sail for the African coast to steal human beings. They want you to believe that it was Christian abolitionists who ended slavery because they desperately need to bury the truth that Black people fought and defeated the imperialists themselves. This mainstream narrative presents the European colonizer as a morally conflicted savior who, upon reading the scriptures with sudden clarity, realized the error of his ways and valiantly legislated the end of human bondage. It is a historical fraud. Slavery ended the exact same way the British colonial empire collapsed, and the exact same way the Americans retreated from Vietnam. In each of these scenarios, the system of murder and plunder ended not because the imperialists suddenly developed a human conscience, but because the oppressed fought back with such ferocity that the system became physically unmanageable and financially fatal. The Haitian Revolution was the ultimate trigger. It was the nightmare that spelled out to the colonizers, in blood and fire, that chattel slavery was simply too dangerous and expensive to sustain. In the late eighteenth century, the enslaved population of Saint-Domingue did not wait for the French parliament to debate their humanity. They rose up in the dark of night, set the sugarcane fields ablaze, and launched a war of total annihilation against their captors. Under the brilliant military strategies of leaders like Toussaint and Dessalines, the Black army utterly decimated the French forces. They defeated the Spanish. They defeated the British. They destroyed the mighty legions of Napoleon Bonaparte, forcing the greatest military empire of the era to its knees. Haiti proved to the global slavocracy that the African was perfectly capable of slaughtering his master, establishing a sovereign nation, and defending it against the combined empires of the world. This terrifying reality fundamentally altered the calculus of European colonization. They realized that if they pushed the African too far, every single colony in the Americas would eventually become another Haiti. In Brazil, Jamaica, and across Latin America, enslaved people did not wait for saviors. They escaped the plantations, fled into the mountains, and established fiercely independent, heavily fortified sovereign cities. The Portuguese and British regiments that tried to penetrate these fortresses were ambushed and slaughtered. All of this was happening long before the so-called white abolitionists started penning their polite manifestos in European parlors. So understand this clearly: the British Parliament did not abolish slavery out of the goodness of their Christian hearts. They abolished it because the cost of deploying military armadas to put down perpetual, massive slave rebellions was bankrupting the colonial treasury. Finally: labeling your own ancestral culture and tradition as "idol worship" is the clearest proof that you are still wearing colonial chains.

Can my parents stop getting older while I figure things out for the next 5 years it’s actually so unfair

@oluwabukenzy @Idan_core @nnamdiobiii This is my issue with shallow rebuttals. Someone takes the time to carefully explain their points, yet instead of responding with stronger, well-reasoned counterarguments, the opponent resorts to weak rebuttals that neither address nor effectively disprove the original argument.

@Idan_core @nnamdiobiii Na lie, More than 90% of African spirituality is clearly demonic, all these twisting is not necessary, abi you think that our ancestors that left it to adopt Christianity are not smart enough ni

Anyone who believes the bible was used to enslave his continent has to be one of the dumbest dudes to walk the planet The Bible was not used to enslave Africa. Slave traders used selective misreadings of the Bible to justify what they had already decided to do for economic reasons. There is a difference. A big one. Slavery existed in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Arab world thousands of years before Christianity arrived on the continent. The Transatlantic Slave Trade was not a Bible project. It was a capital project. The same Bible that slaveholders quoted was the primary weapon abolitionists used to end slavery. Wilberforce, a devout Christian, spent 20 years in Parliament fighting to abolish the trade. Harriet Tubman, an enslaved woman, used her faith as fuel to free hundreds. The most prominent voices against colonialism and slavery in the 18th and 19th century were not atheists or traditionalists. They were Christians, many of them African Christians, who read the same Bible and concluded that slavery was an abomination before God. If the Bible enslaved Africa, what do you do with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which has held the Christian faith since Acts 8, centuries before Europe was Christianized? Did Ethiopia enslave itself? Did the Bible oppress Axum? The logic of “the colonizers brought it, so it must be a tool of colonization” does not survive contact with history. The colonizers also brought Western medicine, railways, and the English language. What actually oppressed Africa was not a book. It was guns, ships, economic incentives, political betrayal by local collaborators, and a global system designed to extract. The Bible was the costume worn by that system, not the engine driving it. If someone uses a hammer to commit murder, the hammer is not a murder weapon. It is a tool that was misused. You do not throw away every hammer in existence. You hold the man accountable. Hold the slaveholders accountable, not the scriptures they twisted. Rejecting the Bible because Europeans misused it is doing exactly what they want, surrendering your own ability to encounter truth because of what someone else did with it. That is not decolonization. That is just a different kind of intellectual captivity. This is 2026, stop all this nonsense takes. Read or just admit you prefer idol worshipping to the bible and stay there.

You’re asking whether to remove it or work with it-but that question already assumes the current framework is the starting point. Before Christianity, African societies already had structured spiritual systems: cosmology, moral order, ancestral reverence, and ways of relating to divinity that were internally coherent within their cultures. These were later reinterpreted through external lenses that reduced them to “idol worship,” stripping away context and meaning. What I’m really pointing to is a subtle disconnect that shows up in our discourse: people can be very sharp in analysing politics and systems, yet still rely on inherited external frameworks when interpreting African spiritual history- without even noticing how those frameworks shape their conclusions. And that’s where the deeper issue is. Because when “ancestor” automatically becomes “demonic,” when African systems are assumed inferior by default, and when imported categories become the only reference point, a major part of identity is already filtered before any real intellectual debate begins. It’s also worth noting that representation itself exists across religions-figures like Jesus and Mary are widely depicted in images, statues, and devotional forms in many Christian traditions. So the idea of “representation” or “sacred imagery” is not unique to African systems; it is interpreted differently depending on the framework being used. I’m not saying reject Christianity or accept it blindly. I’m saying the real intellectual work is consistency-if we can interrogate political systems deeply, we should also be able to examine how spiritual and historical narratives were shaped, renamed, and positioned over time. Because a people can be politically aware and still not fully grounded in how their own history and spirituality has been interpreted. And until that gap is examined honestly, critique of politics alone will never be enough.

Police dragged a young man behind their van in #Uyo, #AkwaIbom just because he refused to pay a bribe. This is NOT okay. He is a human being, not an animal. 😡 RT this. Justice must be served! #EndPoliceBrutality #Nigeria 🇳🇬

Pls retweet massively, WHERE IS JUSTICE CRACK? His only sin was revealing the objective living conditions of military personnel on the frontline. Activists are now getting missing in Nigeria.

Is this our new norm? 😡😡

“NO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAS THE POWER TO ACT AS PROSECUTOR, JUDGE, AND EXECUTIONER” The Nigerian Bar Association is disturbed by the viral video showing the extrajudicial killing of a suspect by police officers in Delta State, as well as the subsequent confirmation by the Police Public Relations Officer that those involved will be tried for murder. This is an arbitrary, unprovoked and misguided show of power by a law enforcement agent. Not only did the act clearly show that the policeman took the law into his hands but portrayed the Nigerian Police Force in a bad light. The sordid act once more put under the spotlight the unceasing allegations I that law policemen routinely violate the rights of criminal suspects and even innocent persons. The NBA unequivocally condemns this act. No officer of the law, regardless of rank or circumstance, has the right to act as prosecutor, judge, and executioner. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is clear that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. Regrettably, many law enforcement and executive functionaries fail to abide by the terms of the laws which set them up as well as regulate their actions, but this is not always the case. They continue to act in manner which must not be encouraged in all decent societies. Some of such actions are usually unconstitutional, illegal and unlawful infringement on the right of individualsIf such unlawful actions by the security agencies continue unchecked, fundamental rights of people may not amount to much in such a climate of impunity. No society should allow such action to go unpunished. The gravity of the offence captured in that video strikes at the very heart of our humanity, the rule of law, and the constitutional guarantees of the right to life and dignity of the human person. It is s worrisome that in this 21st century, a policeman will summarily execute an alleged robber in a devil-may-care attitude. More worrisome is the fact that the summary execution was carried out in full public glare in grave violation of laws regulating the treatment of a criminal suspect or alleged thief. While we commend the Police for condemning and arresting the main perpetrator, but this is not enough. The viral video clearly shows that other policemen aided or were involved in this heinous act. The investigation, arrest and prosecution process must extend to any other officer may have counselled aided or abetted the extra-judicial killing as they all will be jointly liable for the heinous act. We therefore call for the immediate prosecution and trial of all officers involved in this heinous act. Any attempt to shield, delay, or dilute accountability in this matter will further erode public confidence in law enforcement institutions and will be firmly resisted by the Bar. We demand that the prosecution be conducted with full transparency and urgency. The Nigerian people deserve to see that the law applies equally to all, including those entrusted with its enforcement. We hereby direct the Human Rights Committees of the NBA in Warri, Effurun and Udu in Delta State to continue to confront such matters as well as monitor the sequence of events to ensure that this matter is properly investigated and prosecuted. In furtherance of this, the NBA Human Rights Committee and Civil Liberties Committee are hereby directed to closely monitor allegations of violations of citizens rights in any other place, engage with relevant authorities, and take all necessary legal and institutional steps to ensure that justice is diligently pursued and ultimately served. We reiterate our strong deprecation of this unsavoury conduct. It must stop. We must rise to ensure this and similar recklessness acts, stop. The bad policemen in the Force must be shown the way out to avoid giving it a bad name.

The most infuriating sight!!! A policeman gruesomely murders a man in broad daylight in Delta. This man is clearly restrained and poses no threat whatsoever. What kind of ANIMALISTIC behaviour is this @PoliceNG ?!!!

If this appears on your timeline just repost it. #EndPoliceBrutality ✊🏾

First it was a night execution by the military and now a public execution by the police. These are the people we trust to secure lives and property! Like what’s the problem? Whyyyy?
