When convicted criminals are absolved of their wrongdoing through political influence, it erodes public trust in the justice system and undermines the rule of law.
It is deeply disheartening and regrettable that Nigeria has reached a point where justice appears selective—where some individuals, despite being found guilty of heinous crimes, are freed due to their political connections, while others, like Nnamdi Kanu, remain detained despite court rulings declaring them not guilty.
Such double standards expose the deep moral and institutional decay within the system and raise serious questions about fairness, accountability, and equality before the law.
The government’s approach to negotiating with terrorists, rehabilitating them, and reintegrating them into society—despite the destruction, kidnappings, and killings they have caused—further worsens the situation. It sends a demoralising signal to victims and law-abiding citizens that crime pays, while lawful dissent or peaceful activism is treated as treason.
A government that pardons murderers and drug traffickers while keeping political prisoners behind bars cannot genuinely claim to be committed to justice or national security.
This reality calls for sober reflection. Citizens must understand that leadership choices have far-reaching consequences. Electing individuals without integrity, compassion, or a sense of justice ultimately leads to moral collapse and national instability. When those in power disregard the sanctity of human life and the principles of justice, they weaken the very foundation of governance.
My advice is that no one should ever be unjustly killed, harmed, or condemned under such a system. The same government that pardons killers and drug lords today could one day protect the very people responsible for violence and suffering tomorrow.
This is a grim reminder of what happens when voters choose leaders based on propaganda, ethnic sentiment, or personal gain rather than character and competence.
Only divine intervention can rescue Nigeria from the calamities that lie ahead if the nation continues on this dangerous path of rewarding crime and punishing truth.
Tinubu granted sweeping clemency and posthumous pardons to a total of 147 convicts, inmates and deceased Nigerians, including Maryam Sanda, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Sir Herbert Macaulay, Major General Mamman Vatsa, Professor Magaji Garba, and dozens of illegal miners, drug convicts, and white-collar offenders.
APC government since its inception in 2015 has been a terrorist and criminal friendly government .

According to the statement made available to the general public, acting on credible intelligence, troops deployed at the Patrol Base Babanla swiftly mobilised to a suspected bandit hideout and rescued Mrs Oluwabusayo Taiwo, aged 25, and her 3 years old son, Taiwo Irayomide, who were among the victims abducted at Oke-Ode on 28 September 2025.
The rescued victims are currently receiving first aid treatment at the Patrol Base sick bay and will be reunited with their family members in due course.
Also the troops while on routine patrol along a suspected bandit route, also rescued Mr Mohammadu Sani, known as Mai Shayi,* a 40 years old local tea seller from Garkarima. The bandits fled upon sighting the patrol team, abandoning the victim, who was found in a pool of blood. Troops recovered one dane gun and a cutlass from the scene. The victim is currently receiving medical attention at the Patrol Base sick bay.
The Commander, 22 Armoured Brigade, Brigadier General Ezra Barkins, commended the troops for their swift response and professionalism, while reaffirming that the Nigerian Army will remain committed towards ensuring the safety and security of all citizens and will continue to intensify operations aimed at restoring peace and stability across Kwara State and its environs
It is on records that insecurities in Nigeria have been aggravated since enthronement of APC leadership in 2015. Beyond Boko Haram terrorism, the country has graduated to multiple non state actors terrorism by bandits , kidnapping for ransoms and Fulani herdsmen killing the defenseless and helpless citizens while the Tinubu led APC gangs keeps imposing taxes, devalued national currency, reduced the purchasing power of the people and keeps the country permanently as the global capital of poverty. The government has also crippled the opposition political parties in the country and silence critics

APC government has failed in the primary responsibilities of governance, protection of lives and properties but Tinubu led APC gangs only knows how to collect taxes, reduced the purchasing power of the citizens, sharing abject poverty for greater numbers of people.
It is the constitutional duty of the President to protect lives and property — not to multiply taxes while citizens are fleeing their hometowns.
You cannot build national prosperity on insecurity.
When people abandon their homes, farmlands, and local economies out of fear, the foundation of governance collapses.
Security is not just a moral duty — it is the economic backbone of every stable nation.
How do you tax a farmer who can’t access his land?
How do you expect productivity from a citizen who sleeps in fear?
Every displaced family represents a shrinking economy — a town losing its workforce, a market losing its buyers, and a government losing its legitimacy.
Yet in this country, the death of Nigerians has become just another statistic — names reduced to numbers, headlines recycled like weather reports.
We mourn for a day, move on by tomorrow, and the government calls it “progress.”
Leadership without security is taxation without humanity.
While the government focuses on new levies and economic jargon, the real economy — the people — is dying in silence.
And those joining this administration to tell us it’s making progress are the worst kind of humans —
soulless defenders of failure.
They are like the Uruk-hai from The Lord of the Rings — bred for destruction, loyal only to evil, and blind to the ruin they serve.
To worsen it, they travel across the world gaslighting citizens —
telling the international community that there is no corruption back home,
while the nation they left behind bleeds from the wounds of theft, lies, and silence.
And the saddest part?
Many of you think you’re supporting your party while all this evil is taking place.
You defend the same system that is destroying your future,
clap for oppressors who wouldn’t spend a second living your reality,
and mock those who still dare to speak.
You cannot measure GDP when the ground itself is unsafe.
Until lives are protected, every new tax is blood money collected from the displaced and forgotten.
A serious government protects first, reforms next, and taxes last.
But in today’s Nigeria, the order is reversed — we are being taxed for a nation we can no longer live in.

Overwhelmed, the gunmen retreated toward Bishewa settlement. In Bishewa, the assailants launched another assault, killing one of two stepbrothers in their home and abducting the other.
“They killed Ndako, the elder brother, and took the younger one, Audu, away,” a source told reporters.
The renewed wave of attacks has escalated tension across Kwara’s riverine and forested communities, many of which have faced repeated kidnappings and killings in recent months.
In response, the Nigerian Army has reportedly deployed a full brigade and heavy equipment to Kwara South and parts of Kwara North to flush out bandits from forest hideouts.
According to Rafiu Ajakaye, Chief Press Secretary to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, troops were observed advancing through Oke Ode and Babanla in Ifelodun Local Government Area.
The operation, conducted under Operation Fasan Yanma, also covers the Edu and Patigi councils, where soldiers are combing dense forests frequently used by kidnappers for ransom activities

There is no doubt that under the APC leadership and administration of the country since 2015 till date, the country has fair worst than ever. Lives have become short and brutish. The leadership are only concerned about looting and plundering the land's mineral resources illegally without minding who died and who survived.
Peter Obi said: "I am deeply disturbed by the tragic reports of yet another senseless attack in Kogi State’s Yagba West Local Government Area, where over 27 innocent Nigerians were killed by armed bandits. The images are heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire people of Kogi State."
"This comes as reports from neighbouring Kwara state say that nine out of 16 LGs in Kwara state are under bandits’ siege, whoW now demand food and drinks as ransom. The nine LGs in the bandit control include Baruten, Edu, Ekiti, Ifelodun, Isin, Kaiama, Oke-Ero, Patigi, and Irepodun.'
"The security situation is now a national emergency. It is deeply troubling that insecurity has become a normal occurrence in our nation, where our citizens die daily more than in countries at war. This is not normal."
"Our citizens cannot sleep in their own homes in peace, our farmers are being driven away from their lands by bandits, our children are living in fear of being attacked, and our nation continues to bleed. Leadership must be about protecting lives and property, the most basic duty of any government."
"May God grant eternal rest to the victims, comfort to their grieving families, and give wisdom and courage to our leaders to protect every Nigerian life." PO concluded.

The incident reportedly occurred on March 15, 2025, in the Kamuya and Azare areas of the state.
In the video, the soldiers are seen kneeling in a field, introducing themselves as members of the Nigerian security forces, before masked insurgents fatally shot them.
Since the death of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its influence, particularly around the Lake Chad region, with numerous Boko Haram fighters defecting to its ranks. The insurgency has resulted in over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions, primarily in Nigeria's Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.
The Nigerian Army has consistently asserted that the insurgency has been largely defeated; however, incidents like this highlight the ongoing challenges in ensuring security and stability in the affected regions.
More also, the nefarious activities of the group have been deliberately underreported.

Accordinqg to the source, two days ago, Boko Haram released the remaining 23 passengers of Abuja-Kaduna rail and same day, Nigeria freed 101 dangerous terrorists as prisoners swap.
Under the Buhari led APC pro bandits regime, security of lives and property have been zero as the government negotiated with bandits like never in our history . The pro bandits regime killed, arrested and jailed peaceful protesters with impunity.
A Brigadier in the Nigeria Army had reportedly cried out that terrorists are winning.
He said : While congratulating the families of train victims for the safe return of their relatives, something very sad came to mind about the whole tragedy.
1- The ultimate winners are the terrorists. They achieved all their objectives without retribution.
They have all their inmates released,collected hefty amounts of money in billions of Naira and foreign currencies and went away without losing a soul. Meanwhile they inflicted damages on Nigeria. They killed passengers,destroyed a train and stopped it from operation for a very long period and instilled fear in minds of Nigerians.
2- The biggest tragedy is that all the captives were released through payment of ransoms which impoverished family economies, some might never recover. The last victims were released by military committee which means more money were paid and the military had also cornered part of the ransom money. In the whole saga there was no shooting,no arrest, not even declaring some people wanted. What kind of country do we have for God's sake? Time will tell the kind of arrangement reached for the release of the victims.
3- We just have a paper military. What is there in a military that cannot use force on terrorists. There is nothing impressive about military that abandoned its trade and go to terrorists and pay ransoms. It is really a shame on NIGERIAN government.
4- As long as people benefit from train attacks and kidnapping there will be no end to this kind of tragedy. The terrorists have made a good,safe and profitable venture and have gone to plan another attack. Security agencies that benefit from it will be too willing to be part of the next attack. The Mamus that made billions from ransom negotiation will be waiting to make ransom harvest.
A kidnapping Industry has been created by government's inability to deal ruthlessly with criminals.
Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari rode to power in 2015 on promises to tackle insecurities, corruption and rebuild the economy . The country has become a breeding space for terrorism and world capital of poverty under the anti people led APC maladministration.
