For 16 months, @GGA_org investigated Lakurawa from the ground up, interviewing community members, former Boko Haram fighters, and group insiders; attending its Maulid celebration; witnessing its governance firsthand in communities; and analysing handwritten correspondences between the group and JNIM, between the group and bandits, between the group and community leaders, and among its own commanders. What we found overturns the popular story. Lakurawa did not emerge in 2017–2018 as a community defence force invited from Niger Republic. Its roots go back to al-Qaeda recruitment in Mali around 2011–2012. Approximately 328 fighters, mostly Chadians and Malians, entered Northeast Nigeria in late 2013, fought alongside Abubakar Shekau’s Boko Haram then fled to North-central and Northwest Nigeria in 2015. But here’s the crucial twist: Lakurawa is not a true jihadi group. Since relocating to northcentral and northwest Nigeria, it’s evolved into a criminal enterprise that wears the language of piety. It avoids the state, claims no attacks, and has no media wing. Its real logic is a four-stage cycle: offer protection where the state is absent, gain legitimacy, establish authority, then extract through coercive zakat, cattle rustling, and ransom. This is criminal-predatory governance, not state-building. The research also uncovers a deepening link between Lakurawa and JNIM in Kwara state, including JNIM borrowing 100 Lakurawa fighters in early 2026. This nexus risks tying Northwest Nigeria into the Sahelian jihadist theatre. This is what we found. Read the full report here: gga.org/lakurawa-from-…

@Realoilsheikh @GovWike @officialABAT Just like titanic he will go down

Dear @GovWike, the FCT Minister for @officialABAT. God will not come down just to handle a tiny cursed being like you. The poor woman's cry have been heard by God & He will act at the appropriate time. Wait for it.

Earlier today, Lakurawa fighters arrived in Gidan Lawal village, in the Mahuta Local Government Area of Kebbi State. They encountered a commotion: villagers had set fire to several businesses in protest against a gay man who had sexually assaulted a young boy. The Lakurawa fighters forced the villagers to pay compensation for the destroyed properties, reportedly valued at N11 million, for taking the laws into their own hands. After the payment was made, the fighters pronounced judgment on the gay man and executed him in full view of the villagers.

Happy birthday to the Cisse nonuplets, who turn five today! 🥳 On 4 May 2021, nine children were born to Halima Cisse (Mali) in the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca, Morocco. This is the first known incidence of nonpulets surviving birth.

@secmxx All politics is local

Sokoto... Accountant General of a state facilitating the defection of a driver to the APC 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Yaaaakuba manage🤣

Allah tsine ma Kidnapper/bandit bafulatani, da informer/transporter na ammunition bahaushe, da dan Boko Haram Kanuri, da dan Berom me kashe hausa/fulani/musulmai a kan hanya, da dan ISWAP yan Kogi. Babu yaren da ba yan iska! Allah tsine musu albarka da tona asirin su gaba daya!

@BlessingEshone @DejiAdesogan You just solve the problem.

@DejiAdesogan His saying rubbish, Guinness, NB and International Brewery get graduate training in their Academy also hire new staff and traing them to met their standard give them standard training for good six mont to A year before sending them to any role.

“I used to feel Nigerians are really bright. We’ve had over 500 vacancies since 2024, and we’re still struggling to find Nigerians to fill those roles. They don’t meet global standards. I blame social media, yahoo and hook up culture..” — Tosin Eniolorunda, Moniepoint CEO

To the Plateau State Governor @CalebMutfwang, I hope this vedio finds you well, pardoning the killers of Muslims Travellers or turning blind eyes to their heinous act just because they are Christians or if their mothers protests naked is also an act of terrorism.

✨You’ve seen this in every math class: sin(a ± b) = sin a cos b ± cos a sin b sin(2a) = 2 sin a cos a cos(2a) = 1 − 2 sin²(a) 🚨But did you know these formulae came from a Muslim scholar 1000 years ago? Meet Abū al-Wafā al-Būzjānī, the genius who shaped Trigonometry. 📐 Abū al-Wafā Būzhjānī (d. 998) was a Persian Muslim mathematician and astronomer from Khorasan. Born in Būzjān (near Nishapur, Iran), Būzhjānī showed early brilliance in mathematics and geometry. He later moved to Baghdad, then the heart of the Islamic Golden Age, a city of scholars, libraries, and observatories. In Baghdad, he became one of the leading scientists of the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Ḥikmah). Here, he studied Greek works like Euclid and Ptolemy, and expanded them far beyond their original limits. 📐 His Contributions to Mathematics: He established several trigonometric identities such as [sin(a±b)] in their modern form: {sin(α ± β)= Sinα Cosβ ± Cosα Sinβ} {sin(a + b) = Sin(a)Cos(b) + Cos(a)Sin(b)} {Cos(2a) = 1-2sin²(a)} {Sin(2a) = 2Sin(a) Cos(a)} He compiled tables of sines and tangents at 15° intervals, introduced secant and cosecant, and explored the relationships between all six trigonometric lines. His work made both mathematics and astronomy quantitatively precise. He also studied geometry, arithmetic, and number theory, writing detailed commentaries on al-Khwārizmī and Diophantus. Some sources suggest that he introduced the tangent function, although other sources give the credit for this innovation to al-Marwazi. 🌌 His Work in Astronomy: Abū al-Wafā designed and built a wall quadrant, a large, fixed instrument used to measure celestial altitudes with remarkable accuracy. This invention influenced later observatories across the Islamic world. His masterpiece, Kitāb al-Majisṭī (“The Almagest”), improved upon Ptolemy’s astronomy, described planetary motion, and developed mathematical methods for finding the Qibla direction, the direction of prayer. 🕌 In 997, he participated in an experiment to determine the difference in local time between his location, Baghdad, and that of al-Biruni (who was living in Kath, Uzbekistan). Their result was astonishingly accurate, within about 1 hour of modern calculations. ⏱️

An Arab scholar in 1011 was placed under house arrest in Cairo for 10 years. He used the time to invent the scientific method, prove how vision actually works, and write a 7-volume book that Newton studied 600 years later. I read about him last night and could not stop thinking about it. His name was Ibn al-Haytham. The book is called the "Book of Optics." The textbook story names Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes as the founders of modern science. All three of them came 600 years after Ibn al-Haytham. All three of them studied his work directly or through Latin translations. The man who actually invented the scientific method was working alone in a single room in Cairo while Europe was still in the Dark Ages. Here is the story almost nobody tells you. He was born in Basra around 965 CE. By his 40s he had a reputation across the Arab world as one of the most original minds alive. Then he made the mistake that almost killed him. He claimed publicly that he could regulate the flooding of the Nile. The mad caliph al-Hakim of Cairo summoned him to Egypt to do it. Ibn al-Haytham took one look at the river and realized the project was impossible with the technology of his era. The caliph had executed dozens of scholars for less. So he faked madness. The caliph believed him and put him under house arrest in his own home in Cairo for the next 10 years. Most people would have lost their actual mind. He used the time to invent science. Before him, knowledge worked one way. You quoted authority. If Aristotle had said it, it was true. If Galen had written it, it was correct. The role of a scholar was to memorize and defend the ancient Greeks. I Ibn al-Haytham broke this completely. He wrote a sentence in the Book of Optics that quietly destroyed 1,400 years of intellectual culture. "The seeker after truth," he said, "is not the one who follows his natural disposition to trust the writings of the ancients. The seeker after truth is the one who suspects them, questions them, and submits only to argument and experiment." That single sentence is the foundation of modern science. He wrote it 600 years before the European Renaissance. The second thing he did was build the actual machinery of experimentation. He insisted that no claim about the physical world was acceptable until it had been verified by an experiment anyone could repeat. He gave detailed instructions for every experiment in his book. He told his readers, in writing, not to take his word for any of it. Build the equipment. Run the tests yourself. Verify or destroy my claims with your own eyes. The third thing he did was use the method to overturn one of the most settled questions in physics. The Greeks had taught for centuries that vision worked because the eye emitted invisible rays. Ibn al-Haytham proved them wrong with a darkened room, a small hole, and a wall. The first camera obscura. He showed that light from the outside world enters the eye, the exact opposite of what every Greek thinker had taught. Two hundred years later his book was translated into Latin in Spain. Roger Bacon cited him. Kepler cited him. Galileo's work on the telescope was built on his optics. Newton's foundational work on light rested on his framework. Walk into any physics department today. Ask who founded the scientific method. Almost nobody will say Ibn al-Haytham. The man who invented the way humanity actually knows things did the work under house arrest, with no funding, no laboratory, and a paranoid caliph next door waiting for an excuse to kill him. He did it anyway. Most of the world is still pretending it was someone else's idea.

@secmxx Its a big town from the size of the market, and yet @AIT_Online @channelstv @ARISEtv @NewsCentralTV will pretend not hear this .

Bandits raid on bagega market few days ago in Zamfara state Nigeria....

Today marks 545 years since Sultan Mehmed II, the seventh ruler of the Ottoman State, the conqueror of Constantinople, a defender of Islam, and a devoted lover of the Prophet ﷺ, returned to his Lord.

No noise from @ARISEtv @OjyOkpe @ruffydfire and a bunch of Christian hypocrites. No noise from @channelstv and co.

@xagreat Very soon It will be changed to renew hope

So Pantami built an info tech innovation and incubation park in Gombe while he was NITDA DG and named it after himself. This guy will do more than Tinubu if he gets power. Neverrrrrrrrr

We are calling on the authorities to take action against this individual; he is one of those blocking the Mangu road and killing innocent Muslim travelers. Yesterday, while on their mission to kill Muslims, they attacked the Sarkin Angas (the King of the Angas people) and smashed his vehicle. ​After some members of the Angas ethnic group came out to PROTEST, stating they would take action against the Mangu terrorists, this individual appeared in the comment section claiming they didn't realize the King was one of them. He further claimed they apologized to him yesterday and that the King even gave them money on his Facebook account . This indicates that the prominent figures in Jos are the ones sponsoring the terrorism and the killing of innocent Muslims Travellers in Plateau State. @OfficialDSSNG @AmnestyNigeria @HQNigerianArmy @ZagazOlaMakama @Realoilsheikh @LabaranDawa @iambabangida_ @Abdul_Ahmad_

This APC consensus nonsense will backfire in a big way, some of this deeply unpopular governors are picking loyalists as candidates...

Armed residents of Sabon Gari community, Mangu LGA, blocked roads with guns and machetes, slaughtering innocent Muslim travelers !!! One of the perpetrators named as Inviceble Joefly Wamyil aka It'z KG Khitgak , admits to being part of the attack in one of his posts on Facebook, claims they apologized to the King Sarkin Angas AFTER smashing his vehicle and says the King offered them money, which they didn't collect !!! He literally wrote , “arrest me if u can” and “God knows it was not an attack on him, meaning they did attack the Muslim travelers, just not targeting the king specifically !!! If he is arrested and questioned, he can provide the rest of the criminals that waylay the Muslim travelers !!! @OfficialDSSNG @PoliceNG @HQNigerianArmy
