🚨 INSTITUTIONAL VICTORY FOR THE RULE OF LAW!

The courts must remain the shield of the citizen, not a tool for arbitrary arrest and intimidation.

If the latest court ruling bars the DSS from arresting people over matters that are properly civil in nature, it is a significant step toward strengthening the rule of law and protecting Nigerians from abuse of state power.

And for those who have followed the struggle, Omoyele Sowore has consistently challenged the misuse of security agencies and demanded that the Constitution—not political power—should determine how citizens are treated.

This is bigger than one man. It is about building institutions that respect the rights and dignity of every Nigerian.

When one person stands up, the whole system can begin to change.

Washington, D.C. — A motion asking the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for permission to file a friend-of-the-court brief in support of Aaron Greenspan, the American transparency activist suing several U.S. federal agencies for records connected to a 1990s Chicago drug-trafficking...

If you reintroduce fuel subsidy and simultaneously reopen all of Nigeria's land borders, what you are doing is unleashing the greatest ever smuggling of petroleum products from Nigeria to neighbouring nations. Let us be careful! The last time we had these conditions (full fuel subsidy, along with open borders), 25 million litres per day of a total subsidised quota of 66.1 million litres per day were smuggled out of Nigeria, while rice and poultry imported via our neighbours were smuggled into Nigeria.

The immediate effect was the depletion of our foreign reserves, the collapse of the Naira, and the near destruction of our rice and poultry farmers, who could not compete with smuggled imported rice and chicken that flooded the market.

Please fact-check me: The Rice Processors Association of Nigeria (RIPAN) reported that as of 2026, rice smuggling has forced 90 of the 150 industrial-scale rice mills in Nigeria to go out of business, and those that are not yet out of business operate below capacity, while the Poultry Association of Nigeria revealed that Nigeria loses $2 billion each year as a result of smuggled poultry.

But, even more than that, when you open Nigeria's borders without restrictions, as has been proposed, you give terrorists and bandits a leeway to flood Nigeria with light weapons and ammunition, because the borders will be overwhelmed and our customs and immigration officials will be overstretched.

Again, I urge us all to think things through. Elections will come and go, but Nigeria remains.

President Bola Tinubu directed the reopening of Nigeria's land borders with the Republic of Niger via specific routes on March 13, 2024. On February 6, 2026, the President also ordered the reopening of an additional route, the Tsamiya border in Kebbi State.

His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has ordered the immediate expansion of Nigeria's military through the recruitment of additional troops.

The Nigerian Army will expand from eight to twelve Divisions. The additional 4 divisions will increase Nigerian Army personnel by 28,000 troops.

The President also plans for Nigeria to recruit between 2,000 and 5,000 forest guards per state, depending on the state's landmass.

Once we have the personnel needed to secure our porous borders, we will eventually reopen all of them. But to reopen all borders without first securing them is to put Nigeria's security and her economy at risk and portends great danger for Nigerian citizens.
