The House of Representatives has just passed the State Police Bill, a major step toward addressing Nigeria’s security challenges. Yet, many young Nigerians neither know about it nor seem interested in understanding its implications.
Instead, many are busy chanting “Tinubu must go,” as though removing one person automatically solves the country’s complex problems. Real progress comes from engaging with policies, reforms, and governance; not just slogans.

Olukoyede Cautions Nigerians against Vote Buying, Money Politics
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has called on Nigerians from all walks of life to work collaboratively towards ensuring peaceful, credible and transparent elections, warning that vote buying and other forms of financial inducement remain major threats to democratic governance.
Olukoyede made the call in Ilorin, Kwara State on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 while delivering the inaugural lecture of the High-Level Guest Speakers’ Series organised by the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies, CPSS, University of Ilorin, themed “Mobilising Critical Stakeholders for Setting the Agenda for Peaceful and Credible 2027 Elections in Nigeria.”
The EFCC Chairman stressed that the Commission was firmly committed to combating the monetisation of the electoral process, describing vote buying, vote selling, and other forms of financial influence as practices that undermine democracy and good governance.
He pointed out that political leaders who secure office through financial inducement are more likely to focus on recovering their investments rather than serving the public interest.
“The EFCC is opposed to commercialization of votes not only for the reason that it is a financial crime, it weakens the foundation for good governance by compromising the political recruitment process. Leaders who pay their way into public office are unlikely to prioritise public good and accountability. Rather, recouping their investments becomes the overarching objective, to the detriment of the common good”, he said.
He disclosed that the EFCC had recorded several arrests, prosecutions, and convictions of electoral offenders in recent years, including politicians, electoral officials, and citizens involved in vote-buying schemes. He assured Nigerians that the Commission would intensify efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections, stressing that vote buying remains a financial crime that would be prosecuted without fear or favour.
Concerning electoral corruption, the EFCC’s boss stated that it had become increasingly sophisticated, with perpetrators now deploying covert methods, coded communications, and off-site arrangements to influence voters. “Vote buying manifests not just through financial inducement of voters but also through other material and commodity offers. Investigations are pointing to the fact that some of these criminal activities are no longer being carried out in the open. They are not even being done on election days. Codes are being used covertly. Linkages are being established with voters outside the electoral frameworks, all in a bid to influence them to follow some fraudulent routes. We are aware of all these antics and we are prepared to safeguard the integrity of our elections", he said
The anti-graft czar identified stronger collaboration among stakeholders, enforcement of electoral laws, issue-based campaigns, media responsibility, impartial security operations, and effective conflict-resolution mechanisms as critical ingredients for credible elections. He urged political parties to build consensus around decency in campaigns and collectively reject vote buying, noting that inflammatory rhetoric and divisive politics had contributed to electoral violence in previous election cycles.
Olukoyede also challenged the media to play a more proactive role in exposing electoral corruption, particularly vote-buying networks, while urging security agencies to maintain professionalism and neutrality throughout the electoral process. He maintained that proactive and coordinated security arrangements would significantly reduce electoral risks and enhance public confidence in the democratic process.

Alleged N2b Nigeria Air Fraud: How Sirika Allegedly Used Ethiopian Airlines as Fake Nigeria Air-Witness
The 12th Prosecution Witness, PW12, Christopher Odofin, in the trial of the former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Abubakar Sirika, on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, told Justice S.C. Oriji of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court Abuja, how Sirika allegedly passed off an aircraft belonging to Ethiopian Airline as that of the promised Nigeria Air by the government of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
The decoy aircraft, adorned with the livery of the promised Nigeria Air, found its way on the tarmac of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on May 27, 2023, being three days to the expiration of the tenure of the Buhari government and was flown back to Addis Ababa in the morning of May 29, 2023, being the handover date to the successor government.
Hadi Sirika is facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on amended six-count, bordering on alleged abuse of office and misappropriation of public funds to the tune of over N2 billion, alongside his daughter, Fatima Hadi Sirika, son-in-law, Hamma Jalal Sule, and Al Buraq Global Investment Limited.
The contract for the setting up of Nigeria Air was awarded to Tianaero Nigeria Limited, belonging to Gabriel Tilmann, a close associate and friend of the former minister.
Reading from a portion of contract agreement with Ethiopian Airline, the witness, an investigator with Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC said “The aircraft will depart from Addis Ababa (ADD) late evening of May 26, 2023 for it to be positioned early morning of May 27, 2023 at the Abuja (ABV) airport. The aircraft will stay in ABV airport for static display of Nigeria Air livery until May 28, 2023. The aircraft will leave ABV airport early morning on May, 29, 2023. The chartered flight will be operated by the Ethiopian Airline crew in Ethiopian Airline uniform. The Federal Government of Nigeria and Nigeria Air may put together local models who will be in Nigeria Air uniforms to pose for ceremonial pictures. The models may come to Addis Ababa so they may fly with the chartered flight to ABV.”
The witness told the court that the display of the aircraft in Abuja International Airport was deliberately planned to coincide with the end of the first defendant’s tenure as Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development on May 29, 2023 and to pass the aircraft off as the actualization of his promise of the return of Nigeria Air. After the less than 72 hours display of the aircraft, he stated that the Nigeria Air logo was removed from the aircraft and flown back to Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Ababa.
The witness further disclosed that the investigating team was also able to ascertain that Ethiopian Airlines entered into a charter arrangement for the static display of the Nigeria Air livery for a duration of just three days, beginning from May 27 to May 29, 2023 based on information and documents received from the airline following a letter from it, dated June 12, 2023, in response to the EFCC’s request for information regarding Nigeria Air. And that though the purpose of the contract was for the establishment of Nigeria Air, the charter agreement with Ethiopian Airlines was entered on May 24, 2023, five days to the expiration of the defendant’s tenure for just a static display of the Nigeria Air logo on an aircraft.
All the documents tendered in evidence by the prosecution were shown to have been duly signed, authorized, and accompanied by certificates of identification and were not objected to by any of the counsels to the four defendants.
Among the exhibits is a compact disk containing a voice note from the first defendant, Hadi Sirika, marked Exhibit 37, which the prosecution counsel applied to be played in the court at the next adjourned date.

OPERATION HADIN KAI RECORDS MAJOR SUCCESS AS HIGH-PROFILE ISWAP COMMANDERS SURRENDER UNDER SUSTAINED MILITARY PRESSURE
Operation HADIN KAI has recorded another significant success in the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign following the surrender of two high-profile Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) commanders to troops on 8 June 2026. The surrendered terrorists, identified as Ismail Mohammed and Abu Umar, are currently in military custody and undergoing appropriate profiling and debriefing procedures.
Preliminary assessments indicate that the two individuals occupied strategic positions within the terrorist hierarchy and operated within the Mangari axis of the Lake Chad region. One of the surrendered commanders, Ismail Mohammed was a close associate of senior ISWAP Leader Baa Shuwa and possessed extensive knowledge of the group’s command structure and activities. The second individual, Abu Umar, was widely known within the terrorist network as a skilled explosives specialist with responsibilities linked to the fabrication and maintenance of vehicle borne improvised explosive devices and other combat-support equipment used by the terrorists. Interrogation further revealed that another high profile terrorist, Mohammed Khalifa, a member the ISWAP Shurah Council was neutralised during the joint operations by OPHK.
The surrender of the two commanders represents a major setback to the terrorist organisation, particularly given their experience, influence and technical expertise acquired over several years within the insurgent network. Their decision to flee and surrender further underscores the effectiveness of sustained offensive operations by troops of Operation HADIN KAI, complemented by precision engagements conducted with the support of Allied Partners against terrorist enclaves across the Theatre. The combined pressure from these operations continues to degrade terrorist capabilities, weaken their operational networks, and compel increasing numbers of insurgents to surrender.
This development further demonstrates the growing desperation and declining morale within terrorist ranks as relentless military pressure continues to deny them freedom of action and safe havens. It also reinforces the effectiveness of ongoing efforts aimed at dismantling terrorist leadership structures and disrupting their operational capabilities. Operation HADIN KAI remains committed to maintaining relentless pressure on all terrorist elements. The military will continue to exploit all available opportunities to dismantle terrorist networks and restore lasting stability to affected communities.

@Adunniolaide02 I'd buy and tell you I got it for 2k
English

My husband called me now and said he found a basket of onions for ₦2,500. I asked him to snap it and send me a picture first. After seeing it, I told him to price it at ₦2,000.
The seller refused, so I told my husband to leave it and not buy it. 😅
Now my husband is saying I don’t have a conscience because, according to him, the onions are worth ₦2,500 and I shouldn’t have asked him to bargain.
be honest:
Was I right to tell him to leave it, or should he buy it for ₦2,500?

@devoppa55 @MasterBolaji I'm Christian, a worker in the church. Religion and spirituality is super important to me but I will never expect or encourage govt to Sponsor a whole bunch of people to a pilgrimage so they can perform their PERSONAL religious obligations or rites. Its crazy how this came to be
English

@JonesLee5050 @MasterBolaji It's a bit too much to say pilgrimages have zero economic benefit, many people are religious and spiritual, and it's something that's super important to them, it's not always about food and eating all the time, just like you go to church even when you're broke
English

Sokoto's 2026 budget is ₦758B.
The state sponsored 2,140 people for Hajj.
At about ₦9M per pilgrim, that's roughly ₦19.3B.
Add the ₦450k given to each pilgrim (about ₦963M).
Total is over ₦20B.
Agriculture got ₦18.74B.
And Sokoto remains Nigeria's poorest state.
Bolaji Fesomade@MasterBolaji
Sokoto State: The poorest in Nigeria. 90.05% poverty rate. It means 9 out of every 10 people in Sokoto can't afford a decent square meal. Sent 2,410 people to Hajj. Gave each of them ₦450,000. Now multiply ₦450,000 by 2,410. You see how they spend their money? It's sad.
English

@devoppa55 @MasterBolaji Its a waste and misuse of public funds. Govt must priotize spending and stop being irresponsible. You go to Mecca or Jerusalem and then what? You become born again, renewed or something? That's your personal stuff. You come back and life continues. Imagine what that money will do
English

@devoppa55 @MasterBolaji Religion is personal, just as Heaven and hell is. Everyone works out their salvation as individuals. If you must go to Hajj or Jerusalem, then go from your own pocket. Govt should only be involved in the organizing part of it. Logistics, safety etc. Not sponsoring trips yearly
English

@devoppa55 @MasterBolaji I understand what you are trying to say. If the individuals perform these Pilgrimages on their own seeing that religion is PERSONAL then it will be appropriate. As long as tax payers are being used to sponsor the entire packages for majority then it doesn't make sense at all
English

@JonesLee5050 @MasterBolaji Another point for economic benefit is most of the airlines now that take pilgrimages to Saudi are Nigerian own with Nigerian crew, so taxes and revenue, travel agencies are Nigerian own too, things pilgrims buy and sell in Nigeria earn money to circulate in Nigeria.

@oforezika Stopped bathing my daughter when she turned 6, I remember constantly reminding her that soon, Daddy will quit bathing you and you're gonna have to start doing it yourself from here on. I recall the confusion in her face. One time she asked me, "But daddy why" i want you to learn
English

I was having a zoom meeting when my daughter screamed. I have to pause to check on her.
Apparently my husband wanted bathing her because I was busy. She have just returned from school.
I shot both of them a daring glance and the house went quiet. My husband has been moody all day because I made a law never to bath any female child in our house.
He said I am making him a threat to his kids. Is there a better way to explain my reasons to him because I don't know how to start.

@Ayooluf4u @MasterBolaji Simple, go through B.J's page and you'll see. Mr Highchief Okoro, dude with large head, Osas etc they countless who spread fake news and false Naratives. The most recebt being the Fake vouce notes aledgely from VDM.

@JonesLee5050 @MasterBolaji Please can you point to one of them and the negative effect caused. No assumption please

@MasterBolaji It was you who said people should go to jail for posting fake news. These Nigerians were Released and not rescued. Yes it doesn't matter but let the truth be said.

@abdullahayofel Yet millions of Nigerians are in multidimensional poverty, Purchasing power has gone down drastically, prices of goods and transportation are up while cost of living is painfully high. Uncertainty, hopelessness & misery for citizens but hey, APC supporters are a special breed.
