Conflict Link

It is increasingly becoming illegal to act legally in Nigeria. Rivers state is gradually becoming a case study for thugery, political violence, and terrorism studies.

Because the "men" you arm today, after tasting and testing power, might become impossible to disarm tomorrow.

Today, the same man your provided equipments of destruction might belong to your camp, and tomorrow he is doing the bidding if the highest bidder. Africans need to learn.

Our politicians need to understand that if it is not for the good of the ordinary citizens, it will boomerang to affect them in their ranks.

Consequencially, the monsters you create today to perpetrate acts of political violence will hunt you tomorrow.

Recently, two individuals I know were kidnapped in different parts of Nigeria. The first set of kidnappers is demanding 35 million naira, while the second is asking for 30 million naira.

While these are distressing incidents, they highlight how the "dark trade" economy has flourished over time. Kidnapping and banditry have rapidly evolved into lucrative activities, with profits rivaling those of sportsmen and artists.

The weaponization of fear and the crisis of stateness have only deepened corruption, sustaining those who have kept our nation in a state of paralysis.

But who is to blame—the perpetrators or those who are supposed to regulate them?

I deeply sympathize with the millions of Nigerians who have been directly or indirectly impacted by the recent flooding in State.

From various media reports, it is clear that the state government, civil society £organizations, concerned individuals, and relevant agencies are working diligently to evacuate and provide temporary shelter for those affected.

While I commend these efforts, I firmly believe that urgently needs to implement and effective and management frameworks to , or even , the occurrence of such avoidable natural disasters.

While we are currently living through hard times, witnessing Nigerians living in such distressing conditions is not only heartbreaking but also unacceptable.

God bless the "PEOPLE"!!!

Today, I participated in a on multidimensional security threats organized by the of Peace and Conflict Resolution ( ) and the Friedrich Ebert ( ) Office. Conversations among media experts and practitioners focused on leveraging digital platforms to promote peace in Nigeria.

A key moment in the conference occurred during a panel discussion where one of the speakers, using practical examples, highlighted that the use of digital technologies and geo-spatial tools to combat extreme in Nigeria is currently at an all-time low. Interestingly, however, criminals are increasingly using these technologies and social media platforms to further their activities, pushing crime to new levels. Therefore, we must work to counter at this advanced stage.

Additionally, I had the pleasure of meeting Senator Iroegbu, a distinguished individual known for his remarkable work in research, , and security.

In the era of the New Testament, Beloveth Saul the persecutor who loved Christus more than the Saddauces asked "Shall we remain in sin that grace may abound?"

And Lincoln, the Poorest President in American History answered and said "this nation cannot survive half slaves half free"...

To the Chief Priest of the Nigeria political kingdom, who is ruling Nigeria from behind and telling the story of the gods with emotional nepotism;

Sir, "this country cannot succeed on propaganda"!!! 🙏🙏
