FUTO held a convocation to celebrate education, but the governor accidentally turned it into a spelling bee gone wrong.
The tragedy is not mispronouncing a word—anyone can make a mistake. The tragedy is when a society begins to reward politics over merit and propaganda over education.

From top to bottom, the standard appears to be: rice first, education later.

NDLEA and the New "Operation Check Their Phones"

Apparently, the new national security strategy is "Operation Check Their Phones.""

Kidnappers are collecting ransom, bandits are terrorising communities, and violent criminals are operating across the country, yet some officers have concluded that the greatest threat to Nigeria is a young man holding an expensive smart phone.

Buy a good phone? Suspect.

Dress well? Suspect.

Drive a nice car? Suspect.

Smile confidently? Extremely suspect.

The obsession with searching phones and interrogating young people has become so common that many citizens now encounter security agencies as revenue collectors before they encounter them as protectors.

Perhaps the real mystery isn't what's inside young people's phones. The real mystery is why some agencies seem far more interested in successful youths than in the criminals Nigerians expect them to pursue.

Kidnappers are cashing out, citizens are cashing in their savings to pay ransom, and APC is busy cashing in on campaign promises.
The government's scoreboard seems simple: bandits win, citizens suffer, politicians share rice and prepare for the next election. Security has become a luxury, while political propaganda remains abundant. Nigerians deserve leaders who fight criminals with the same energy they fight for votes.

POS Security Alert

Most Nigerians will keep discovering new ways of crime. It's for you to always be alert and watchful.

A young guy came to a POS operator close to my office and told the lady to check his balance.

She inserted the guys card and gave him the machine to put in his pin. Instead of putting his pin in the POS to bring out his balance, he cancelled it and quickly checked the lady's history to know her last transaction, which was 6k.

He then brought out another ATM card and told the lady to give him 6k (which was the last transaction of the lady he saw) the lady slot in the guy's card and press for withdrawal of 6k, and hand the machine to the guy to put in his pin. The guy cancelled the transaction, and the machine peeped a cancellation sound while the lady had already given him the 6k.

But because of the cancellation sound she heard, she quickly checked her history to check if the guy's transaction had entered.

But she noticed that the only 6k standing as her last transaction in the history was the former 6k someone else withdrew before the guy.

While the guy was about to leave her stand, the lady rushed him and demanded for her 6k.

The criminal quickly and shamefully returned back the money to the lady.

If the POS operator were to be a new person in the business, the criminal would have succeeded.

So POS operators will always be very vigilant and watch closely while you hand your machine for a customer to put in his or her pin.

My own na to dey always update una with the latest crime operations.

A journalist wore only pants to protest the kidnapping of Oyo school children.

Unfortunately, APC's failure on insecurity is not the only thing attracting attention. Some ladies may be too busy admiring the package on display to notice the message.

But beyond the comedy lies a sad reality: children are being kidnapped while those in power keep acting like everything is under control.

When the Chibok girls were kidnapped, Patience Jonathan cried, spoke out, and was mocked endlessly.

Today, school children are abducted, and the people who mocked her have suddenly become experts in silence.

It appears the APC handbook has only two chapters: "How to Win Elections" and "How to Share Rice."

Sadly, there is no chapter on protecting lives.

This is the FUTO Man O war Commander who kllled his ADC for 13k. It was gathered that he was just 20 years old, and 400l student of Microbiology, FUTO. It was alleged that he did Odeshi, a fettish concoction believed by some people to be a protector from harm or bullet wounds.

This same boy instructed his boys to flogged a student of FUTO because he was cooking late in the night last two weeks Wednesday. They flogged the boy to an extent his bu**um was peeled, the boy can’t seat down.

This same commander, humiliated a final year student because she came back a little bit late after hostel was closed by 8pm from a far distance journey.

The guy has been committing so many atrocities, when we intervened, the Dean pleaded that he will surely handle the matter, the SUG said the situations were under control.

If not because someone died, the situation will still be taken with soft hands, as the Charlatan will still be humiliating the Nigerian Students in FUTO under the guise of Man O War Commander.

The law will surely take it course.
We will not let this matter rest until Justice is served.
