An Obidient mobster who turned a journalist overnight, Ejike Ofoegbu Experience, is now retracting all the libelous stories published on his blogs “Igbo Times Magazine and INews” against Gov. Charles Soludo and his family, saying he resorted to publishing fake and fabricated stories because of Facebook money 🤗

These agents of the devil and hate for Nigeria want to do all things possible to deprive our gallant men their deserving glory and praises. If you don’t understand their game plan, then you are not paying attention enough.

Special thanks to USA 🇺🇸 and France 🇫🇷. Their contribution to our improved intelligence gathering cannot be understated.

After listening to Moses Simon interview I have finally realized that, the biggest bigots in the country are the ones always calling others bigots. Hmm

And was it not Dickson who said ransom was paid? Or he has a friend among the kidnappers who told him so? Shows you the defective species we share this portion of the planet with... Boundless gratitude to our Armed Forces. Thank you Soldier.

Bro publicly claimed he had no property anywhere aside Onitsha… just to cut an incorruptible image to the public. Okay 👍🏾 Bro bought property in Lagos when he was a Governor. He hid the details from the public, as that would go against Code of Conduct rules for elected public officials. Bro used personal company to buy the property in Ikeja and used his younger brother as a front. Okay 👍🏾 Later, the said property went into a private dispute, with a woman claiming ownership of the property. The matter went to court and the presiding judge ruled against Bro’s brother, stripping him of the asset’s ownership. Court gave permission to the bonafide owner of the property to take action. The legal owner brought bulldozers to remove the structure which Bro and his fronting brother raised on the land 👀 Pronto, Bro came to social media to cry persecution in a vague description of the details surrounding the disputed property. He was raising hell against the Government but carefully didn’t mention whether state or Fed Govt 😂 His younger brother — the supposed owner of the disputed asset (in his late 50s) — could not come out to say anything by himself. It was Bro who was doing the talking on his behalf. Secret checks were done on the property and it was discovered that Bro personally owned the property taken from them by the court 🫣 Again, where does this man worship? 🤗

I say I should remind you all that me and my entire family will be voting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 ❤️ ✅ Thank you for your attention to this matter 🤗

KIDNAPPED STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN OYO STATE RESCUED FOLLOWING, SURGICAL INTENSE AND WELL COORDINATED OPERATIONS IN OLD OYO NATIONAL PARK AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY 1. Following an intelligence-led carefully planned and executed operations, on 10 July 2026, troops of the Nigerian Army, led by the General Officer Commanding 2 Division, Nigerian Army, Ibadan, *Major General CR Nnebeife*, in collaboration with special units from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) specifically the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC),the Defence Headquarters with Special Forces elements from the Nigerian Army, Navy the Air Force and the Nigeria Police, the Department of State Services (DSS), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and other security agencies as well as local vigilantes/hunters/Amotekuns, in a well coordinated operation rescued a total of 44 pupils and teachers kidnapped by terrorists from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State on 15 May 2026. 2. The operations, which lasted for more than a month, focused on identifying the terrorists kingpins that masterminded the kidnapping, bursting and dismantling their networks and logistics links, including their informants and hideouts located within the Old Oyo National Park Forest, Oyo State. 3. As part of the operations, multiple arrests were made within Oyo State and in other locations across some States in the Country. These arrests completely disorganized the group, exerted overwhelming pressure on them and ultimately led the terrorist group to *unconditionally release* the pupils and teachers. Further operations are to be conducted. 4. It suffices to note that the operations were carefully planned and executed to avoid collateral damages and to equally ensure that the innocent children and teachers were safely rescued. However, there were some casualties on the part of the security forces. 5. The pupils and teachers are currently receiving medical attention in an undisclosed hospital and will be handed over to the Oyo State Government in due course so as to be reunited with their families. 6. The GOC 2 Division wish to on behalf of all the participating agencies most sincerely and respectfully thank and appreciate His Excellency, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for the Strategic Guidance, Support and for all the provisions that made the operations a huge success. 7. The GOC also wishes to once again thank the Governor of Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde and indeed the good people of the State for their continous support to security agencies especially during the trying period. 8. The GOC also appreciates the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the Hon Minster of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff and other Service Chiefs, Inspector General of Police and the Directors General DSS and NIA as well as Heads of other Security Agencies for their support and for the opportunity to relate directly with all the security agencies to ensure a seamless coordination and execution of the operations. 9. We sincerely thank the various media houses and indeed the entire Nigeria populace for their support, understanding and for having faith in the security architecture of the Nation. We urge all to remain vigilant and continue to support all security agencies by providing timely and credible information that would assist in the ongoing efforts to safeguard lives and properties across Nigeria.

Presidential Commendation on the Rescue of the Oriire Students and Teachers. Mr. President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I heartily congratulate you on the successful rescue of the Oriire students and teachers whose ordeal has gripped the conscience of our nation over the past weeks. This achievement is a significant victory for Nigeria and a reassuring demonstration that the resolve of the state remains stronger than the forces of criminality. I extend my profound appreciation to the men and women of our Armed Forces, intelligence services, police, civil defence, and all members of the combined security architecture whose professionalism, courage, and sacrifice made this operation successful. Their dedication to duty reflects the finest traditions of service to our nation. This success should also serve as a reminder that while progress is being made, the task before us is not yet complete. We must sustain the momentum of ongoing security operations and intensify efforts to locate, dismantle, and destroy the criminal networks that continue to threaten the peace and stability of our communities. The fight against kidnapping, banditry, terrorism, and violent criminality must remain relentless until lasting security is restored across our land. Many Nigerians have observed with encouragement the renewed vigor being demonstrated in the battle against insecurity. This achievement reinforces confidence in the capacity of our security institutions when properly coordinated and supported. I also wish to acknowledge the valuable contributions of our international partners, particularly the United States of America, whose continued cooperation and commitment to supporting Nigeria’s security efforts remain important during this challenging period. Strong partnerships enhance our collective capacity to confront increasingly complex security threats. To the rescued students, teachers, their families, and all those affected by this painful experience, I pray for healing, comfort, and restoration. May the trauma of these difficult weeks give way to renewed hope and confidence in the future. I congratulate the Government and people of Oyo State on the successful conclusion of what has undoubtedly been a trying and anxious period. Their patience, resilience, and faith throughout this ordeal deserve commendation. This moment also presents an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of securing and developing every part of our national territory. Security and development are inseparable. Communities that are effectively governed, economically empowered, and socially integrated are far less vulnerable to criminal exploitation. It is therefore imperative that we continue to strengthen local government institutions and empower them to play their constitutional role in grassroots development and community security. Furthermore, the urgency of implementing State Police has become increasingly evident. The realities of modern security challenges require a more responsive and locally rooted policing framework. As a nation, we must continue the conversation and take the necessary steps toward a security architecture that reflects our federal character and developmental aspirations. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. May peace, security, and prosperity return to every corner of our nation. And may your administration continue to succeed in its efforts to build a safer, stronger, and more united Nigeria, for the success of your government is inseparable from the success of our country.

SW forests must be occupied by Amotekun and Iru Eku guards with immediate effect! No breathing space for terror!

Hearing that the terrorists demanded the release of some internationally dreaded Ansaru terrorist leaders and that the President refused to negotiate or succumb to the demands of the terrorists is reassuring. I especially appreciate your resolve, Mr. President, @officialABAT. I hope this becomes national policy going forward. We should never ever negotiate with terrorists.

The rescue of the Orire kidnap victims by the Fed Govt dispels a widespread myth about the nationality of the bandits terrorising our land. Clearly, we are not dealing with drifters from some foreign land; we are dealing with homegrown criminals. No Fulani from Mali or Senegal 🥸

You don’t have to be a fan to acknowledge and commend this administration when they do well. It’s just common sense

Remember His Name. 🕯️ Never Forget His Sacrifice. 🕯️ Late Lieutenant FA Isaac 🕊️ He answered the call of duty without hesitation. In the brave effort to rescue kidnapped victims in Orire, he paid the ultimate price, laying down his own life so that others could live. Same Yesterday that Troops Rescued the Oyo-Orire Pupils and Teachers, he was also laid to rest with honour, but his courage, selflessness, and sacrifice will never be buried. He stood where many would have fled, fought when others feared, and gave everything for people he may never have known. May we never forget the cost of the peace and security we often take for granted. Heroes like him deserve our eternal gratitude and remembrance. Rest in perfect peace, Gallant Soldier. Your watch has ended, but your legacy lives on forever. 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🇳🇬 #GoneButNeverForgotten #Hero #UltimateSacrifice #RIP

Twenty Four Hours after TINUBU announced SHETTIMA as his running mate in the 2027 Presidential Election, nobody is talking about same religion ticket again, as it was in 2023. Indeed, Tinubu has crumbled Gbajue's business totally. A complete political frustration.

Yesterday, the Vice President and President Bola Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 presidential election, Senator Kashim Shettima, paid a visit to our headquarters, the City Boy Movement Headquarters, in Abuja. The headquarters, which will soon be officially commissioned, is being fully prepared to serve as the operational hub for our activities ahead of the formal commencement of the 2027 presidential campaign. We remain focused and ready to mobilize support across the country in preparation for the next phase of our collective journey.

Remi Tinubu to Burna Boy, Asake, Davido & Stars: Start Foundations to Help Pepper, Vegetable, Okra, Melon & Akara Sellers: “The Burna Boys of this world, the Asakes, all of them, Davido we want to see you with one foundation or the other, helping the poor with your money. “Good cars are good, a Maybach is good, a Rolls-Royce is good, but still, you can help The burden on the government is huge. You can still help. There are pepper sellers, vegetable sellers, okra sellers, melon sellers, akara, Kuli Kuli. Akara is delicious, I can tell you that.” She recounted the story of a graduate from Abuja who began selling akara after being unable to find a job. She additionally provided N50,000 grants to 2,000 small traders in Kogi State.

Grateful to God for another year of life, growth, lessons, and grace. Every year reminds me that dreams only matter when matched with discipline, resilience, and the courage to keep building. The journey has been far from easy, but it has been worth it. The mission continues. Bigger goals. Greater impact. More lives to touch. Here's to another year of purpose. Happy Birthday to me. 🎉 #happybirthday #JOMA
