The Slaughter of Men, Women, a Pregnant Woman, and Children in Jos: When the Souls of the People Become the Cost of State Failure

Image
By Taiwo Akinlami The news of the massacre in Jos, Nigeria, left me unable to proceed as usual. My humanity was shattered and diminished once again. Death is certain, but avoidable massacre is not. Where there is respect for human life, and where government truly understands that the welfare and security of the people shall be its primary purpose, such horrors should not become routine. Men, women, and children, including a pregnant woman, were reportedly murdered in cold blood. I had intended to write on another subject, but as a father, I could not in good conscience move on as though nothing had happened. One question has stayed with me since then: When will this killing stop? What makes this even more disturbing is the backdrop against which it happened. We have heard senior officials speak of terrorists as “prodigal sons” who should be spared and reintegrated into society. That position is morally bankrupt if it is not matched by a clear, credible, and urgent plan to p...

BREAKING:INEC’s Suspension Of ADC Leadership. U.S. Policy Firm To Brief Congress, Trump .

BREAKING: INEC’s Suspension Of ADC Leadership.  U.S. Policy Firm To Brief Congress, Trump . By Chigozie Ejiogu. The story unfolding is no longer just about party politics in Nigeria—it is beginning to echo in the corridors of power far beyond its borders. A United States–based policy and advocacy firm is preparing to brief members of the U.S. Congress and officials aligned with the Trump political bloc over what it describes as a deeply troubling development:  The suspension of the leadership of Nigeria’s African Democratic Congress (ADC) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). But this is where the narrative shifts—from routine political maneuvering to something far more unsettling. What should have remained a domestic electoral matter is now being reframed on an international stage as a test of Nigeria’s democratic credibility. According to sources familiar with the planned briefing, the firm intends to present the suspension not as an isolated a...

Image
By Jeff Agbo.  A Former President of the Nigerian Senate for 8 years and Senator  who  represented Benue South in the National Assembly for 20 years has warned  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to truncate democratic governance in Nigeria going by the present modus operandi of using state apparatus specifically the judiciary and the INEC to totally use spurious injunctions and dodgy judgments to stifle opposition political parties. AT THE WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY DAVID MARK,(GCON) CHAIRMAN OF AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC) ON APRIL 2, 2026, AT THE SHEHU MUSA YAR’ADUA CENTRE ABUJA. THIS ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY WILL NOT STAND On behalf of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and lovers of democracy, I welcome you all to this world press conference. Since 1999, Nigeria has been under democratic rule. After 27 years, we thought we could proudly celebrate the entrenchment of democracy, believing that the country’s dictatorial past has receded into h...

No Kings Protests Across The US Rally Against Donald Trump

Image
No Kings Protests Across The US Rally Against Donald Trump Large protests against the Trump administration are taking place in cities across the US, marking the third iteration of No Kings rallies that have previously drawn crowds into the millions. Organisers say they are protesting against policies imposed by US President Donald Trump, including the war in Iran, federal immigration enforcement and the rising cost of living. "Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies," organisers said. Trump allies have previously denounced the No Kings protests as the "hate America rally" and accused participants of being linked to the far-left Antifa movement. Throughout the day on Saturday, demonstrations will take place in nearly every major US city, including New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. Rallies have already started in Washington DC and other cities,...

Kano optics, Ilorin audio: My public advisory

Image
 By Citizen Dr Bolaji O. Akinyemi The Government of the day read and interpreted the optics at Kano well. I am however worried about the speculative public reading of the audio signals from Ilorin.. What was witnessed in Ilorin is pre-election engineering. And history has shown, both in Nigeria and elsewhere, that when political outcomes are shaped long before ballots are printed, emotional outrage after the fact achieves nothing. What happened in Kano — Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso hosting Peter Obi — was not just optics. It triggered a counter-signal. And the remarks attributed to Ayo Salami at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism awards should not be dismissed as casual commentary. In elite political communication, nothing is casual. So the real question is not “Will Obi be on the ballot?” The real question is: What must be done to prevent a situation where candidates are removed before voters even have a say? Here’s the hard truth: stopping “them” is not abo...

Journalists who arrived at the venue as early as 7:00 a.m. to cover the proceedings were, however, barred from gaining access to the courtroom by DSS operatives. Security had earlier been intensified around the court premises loc...
