Today’s newspaper headline below says that Nigeria federal government “Has secured the release of 100 abducted Niger State school children.” That’s 100 out of the 315 abducted about a week ago.
Note that the news does not say that the 100 children were rescued; it says RELEASED. Also, the news does not say that any of the abductors were arrested or killed. All this means that, once again, Tinubu’s goverenment BEGGED and NEGOTIATED with kidnappers to release their victims. It also means that kidnappers are still in control in Nigeria, boldly winning the war against Tinubu’s government. Typical of Nigerian governments, it remains TOP SECRET how much money Tinubu’s government paid the kidnappers. Well, actually, I should say we don’t know how much Tinubu paid the SPONORS of the kidnappers who he has been negotiating with.
Also, the news does not say when the rest of the 315 school children will be RELEASED. Again, the word, “rescue” is inappropriate here because our government is a BEGGER to, and not a FIGHTER against terrorists and bandits. The news does not say how much money Tinubu will pay again to “Secure the RELEASE” of the remaining victims. It does not say the conditions that the sponsors of kidnappers are COMMANDING President Tinubu to OBEY before the next release. Please, remember that I am not making up anything on the matter of banditary and terrorism sponsors. It is common knowledge, regularly confessed by government spokespersons and top politicians, that the government knows the sponsors. The confessions come in various forms at various times. For instance, even as I am writing this on December 8, 2025, I see the governor of Edo State, Monday Okpobholo, a pro-Tinubu man, speaking of a new dimension to the narrative. He claims that members of opposition parties are now sponsoring terrorism to make Tinubu look bad enough to lose his 2027 reelection bid. I call that claim total HOGWASH by a Tinubu cronny. Why? Because nobody needs to sponsor terrorism to make Tinubu lose the 2027 election. He has made himself bad enough by being a terribly corrupt and incompetent dictator. Nigerians hate him enough without opposition-sponsored terrorism. With his terrible rulership, he can only stay in power through election rigging in 2027, period!!!
Let’s back to the matter of the released kidnap victims. Importantly, the news does not say who are the negotiators between the kidnappers and President Tinubu’s government to be release the children. The last RUMOR I heard in the Nigerian grapevine was that President Tinubu’s son, Seyi was involved in negotiations to release kidnappers. The rumor said that Seyi Tinubu met with the KNOWN and CONFIRMED terrorists SYMPATHIZER, the fearless, SUSPECTED or ALLEGED terrorism SPONSOR called Sheikh Ahmad Gumi. Nigerians have consistently cried out to President Tinubu to arrest Gumi as a terrorist sponsor, among others. Instead, if the rumor is true, Tinubu prefers to send his son to negotiate the release of kidnap victims with Gumi. So, critics consistently ask, WHY IS GUMI INVOLVED WITH TERRORISTS WITH SO MUCH IMPUNITY? Why does President Tinubu refuse to arrest him?? What is Tinubu scared of, meeeeeeeen???!!!
I am driving somewhere with all the above ‘preludial’ or preliminary narrative, people! My point is this: According to Tinubu’s critics, he is scared of the sponsors of terrorism and banditary in Nigeria. So, instead of NAMING, SHAMING, ARRESTING, and PROSECUTING them, he is continuing his disgraceful NEGOTIATION and BEGGING approach to “SECURE RELEASES” of kidnapp victims. In fact, many sponsors have already been named. But, just like his self-confessed jihadist predecessor, now the late Muhammadu Buhari, President Tinubu refuses to prosecute them. Critics, including I, allege that Tinubu is scared of the “KNOWN” sponsors. For reasons best known to him and some people close to him, he refuses to attack the terrorists and bandits, apparently for the fear of their sponsors. Some of the critics, including I, keep wondering why Tinubu is so scared of the KNOWN sponsors of terrorism and banditary in Nigeria, meeeeeeeen!!!
The nagging questions now are: What next? Can President Tinubu succeed in NEGOTIATING and BEGGING sppnsors of bandits and terrorists to release the remaining 215 Niger State school children?? Will his shameful negotiations get the countless other kidnap victims across Nigeria released??? Or, will Mr. President eventually MAN-UP, stop the shameful negotiation approach, and fight terrorism and banditary to a finish, meeeeeeeen????!!!!
I have another commentary coming up next, a vlog this time, addressing President Tinubu’s recent (less than 24 hours) military mission to quash military coup d’etat in Benin Republic. And this is a man who shamefully lacks the political will to quash terrorism and banditary within his own country, meeeeeeeeeen!!!
