“This Experience Will Not Repeat Itself” - Another Presidential Promise fails in less than 24 Hours.

Less than 24 hours after President Tinubu stood at the Jos Plateau State airport on April 2, 2026, and promised the grieving Nigerian citizens, “I promise you that this experience will not repeat itself,” another brutal attack occurred in Nyamgo Gyel, Jos South LGA, resulting in the deaths of several innocent citizens.

Since then, and only a week following that reassuring promise from the President, Nasarawa State has been plunged into grief as the Akyawa and Udege Kasa communities fled for their lives after gunmen killed at least 11 people. Many homes were reduced to ashes, and numerous families remain missing.

In Zamfara State, 150 innocent Nigerians were abducted from the Kurfa Danya and Kurfan Magaji communities in one of the largest mass kidnappings in recent times. On the same day of the Zamfara kidnappings, terrorists in Borno State stormed Chibok, killing four officers and burning down homes.

Yesterday, on Easter Sunday, Benue State was rocked by violence again, with over 17 Nigerians massacred, entire communities left in ruins, and many individuals still unaccounted for. Today, in Kaduna State, several innocent citizens were killed by terrorists inside churches, with many others abducted in the Ariko community of Kachia LGA.

Yet we were told, “This experience will not repeat itself.” This represents a failure of leadership and responsibility, and sadly, Nigerians are paying for it with their lives.

These attackers are not ghostly figures; our inaction emboldens them. How can a President make such a categorical promise and, mere hours later, the nation continues to count the dead across multiple states? The primary responsibility of any government is to protect lives and property; however, this responsibility is failing today. Nigerians are being slaughtered in their homes, in their communities, and in the very places they should feel safest. Even the President did not enter these communities, so who is truly safe in Nigeria?

This is a national emergency. Nigeria is bleeding, and the situation is worsening and increasingly helpless.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

WHO IS THIS MAN? The American Courts Are About to Tell Nigeria the Truth About Bola Ahmed Tinubu
By Kio Amachree | Stockholm, Sweden

I am the eldest son of Chief Godfrey Kio Jaja Amachree QC — Nigeria’s first Solicitor-General, Acting Attorney-General, first Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Justice, Senior Crown Counsel to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and Attorney-General of the British Cameroons. I grew up in the law. My father’s closest friends were Queen’s Counsel, judges, and diplomats. I studied law myself — in England and in Sweden, where I reside. I do not put pen to paper lightly. And I do not use the word alleged when the documentary evidence no longer supports it.

I have read the United States court documents in the matter of the United States government versus the financial interests of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I have read them carefully, as a man trained in the law on two continents, carrying the name of one of Nigeria’s greatest legal minds. And I am here to tell my fellow Nigerians what those documents say — plainly, without the fog of political protection that has surrounded this man for three decades.

In 1993, Bola Ahmed Tinubu forfeited $460,000 to the American government after authorities linked the funds to proceeds of narcotics trafficking.  This was not a misunderstanding. This was not a clerical error. A DOJ affidavit by IRS Special Agent Kevin Moss confirmed that Tinubu’s US bank accounts — holding over $1.4 million — were under investigation for suspected he**in trafficking connections and money laundering activities, and explicitly named the FBI, DEA, and IRS as agencies involved in the probe.  The drug in question was he**in. The city was Chicago. The network was real.

The IRS Special Agent’s affidavit outlined the drug trafficking activities of one Abiodun Agbele, who was arrested while selling white he**in to an undercover agent. Agbele identified a man named Akande — linked to Tinubu — as his uncle, and claimed that Akande had helped him secure an apartment in Hammond, Indiana. Further DEA investigations revealed that Agbele had sold he**in to multiple individuals on several occasions. 
These are American federal documents. Sworn affidavits. Court filings. Not rumour. Not opposition propaganda. Not the imaginings of a diaspora agitator. Legal instruments produced by the Department of Justice of the United States of America.

Now, in February 2026, the mask is being removed — not by me, but by the American judiciary itself.
Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rebuked the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration for employing delay tactics to frustrate the release of President Tinubu’s records. Her court described the agencies’ non-disclosure posture as presenting arguments that were “neither logical nor plausible,” and noted the existence of incessant postponements that had caused the case to linger for over three years. 

Judge Howell ordered the FBI to file sworn statements explaining its repeated failure to meet court deadlines, and directed the bureau to release all non-exempt records related to Tinubu. The FBI was additionally instructed to submit a detailed timetable showing how it plans to release the second batch of 500 pages by March 13, and complete full disclosure by June 1, 2026. The court further ordered both the FBI and DEA to submit joint status reports every 14 days starting February 27 until all responsive records are processed and released. 
This is not a witch hunt. This is a federal judge — appointed for life, answerable to no Nigerian politician — demanding accountability from America’s own intelligence agencies on behalf of the public’s right to know.
The court’s judgment was unambiguous: “The FBI and DEA have both officially confirmed investigations of Tinubu relating to the drug trafficking ring. Any privacy interests implicated by the FOIA requests to the FBI and DEA for records about Tinubu are overcome by the public interest in release of such information.” 
Let those words sit with you, Nigeria.

Overcome by the public interest. An American federal court has ruled that Nigerians — and the world — have the right to know who their president truly is.
I am told that in raising these questions, I have insulted the Tinubu administration. I have been subjected to abuse on social media. I have been told things about my father — my father, Chief Godfrey Kio Jaja Amachree QC, pioneer of Nigerian jurisprudence, servant of the Crown and of the United Nations — that are too vile to repeat. Grown men, hiding behind anonymous accounts, insulting a dead lion to wound his son.

They have miscalculated.
I survived Eton. I survived the boardrooms of Wall Street. I have navigated the legal and political corridors of three continents. A keyboard bully from Abuja cannot break what decades of real opposition could not. Every insult they send strengthens my resolve. Every threat deepens my investigation. They have not silenced me. They have sharpened me.

I am not a politician. I am not running for president. I am a citizen — a very particular citizen, carrying a very particular name, with a very particular obligation to the truth that my father embodied. I am asking questions that every Nigerian deserves answered: Who is this man? What did he agree to? What did he forfeit, and why? What understanding was reached with the authorities that allowed a man with this background to ascend to the presidency of Africa’s most populous nation?
These are not radical questions. In any functioning democracy, they would be the first questions asked.
Nigeria is watching. The world is watching. And on June 1, 2026, the United States government — compelled by its own courts — will begin to provide answers that A*o Rock cannot suppress, spin, or silence.
My father taught me that the law, when properly applied, is the greatest equalizer known to civilization. He was right then. He is right now.
God bless Nigeria. God bless the truth.

Kio Amachree is a Swedish-Nigerian political commentator, diaspora activist, and founder of SKJ Records Sweden. He is the eldest son of Chief Godfrey Kio Jaja Amachree QC, Nigeria’s first Solicitor-General and UN Under-Secretary-General.

BRITAIN'S BILL IS DUE. WHY THE UK HAS REFUSED TO TALK ABOUT BIAFRA:

Written by Mike Arnold.

Word is, my biggest sin in Washington isn’t what I’ve said about the genocide.

It’s what I’ve said about the British.

More specifically, I had the audacity to publicly say the B word: Biafra.

Not as an advocate for separation, mind you — only for historical context. I have never advocated for Biafran secession. I have communicated their righteous grievances.

I have also called on them repeatedly to lay down that talk for now and band together across tribal lines to end the evil regime strangling the entire nation. Only when the stranglehold is broken can every people group draw their own map in peace.

But I believe — fundamentally, non-negotiably — that every people group has the right to choose their own path. And what the British did to them is a vast, horrific, ongoing evil.

And apparently, that is the most dangerous thing I can say in Washington.

More dangerous than naming the genocide and those behind it.

More dangerous than exposing the lobbyists and pharisaical swamp creatures.

Because this one hangs a starvation genocide around some very important limey necks.

So let’s talk about that.

What Britain Did:

In 1914, Lord Lugard drew a line around two incompatible civilizations — the Islamic Caliphate of the North and the Christian and traditional peoples of the South — called it Nigeria, and handed it to the Crown. Nobody was asked.

The contraption was designed from birth to keep the Caliphate in administrative control and the oil flowing to London.

When the SouthEast tried to leave in 1967 — after tens of thousands of Igbos were slaughtered in northern pogroms — Britain showed it's hand.

Their own declassified Foreign Office documents state it plainly:

“The sole immediate British interest in Nigeria is that the Nigerian economy should be brought back to a condition in which our substantial trade and investment in the country can be further developed, and particularly so we can regain access to important oil installations.”

That’s not my accusation. That’s their confession.

Shell-BP — part owned by the British government — controlled 84% of Nigeria’s oil production. Two thirds of it was in Biafran territory.

So Harold Wilson’s Labour government secretly armed the Nigerian federal military. Millions of rounds of ammunition. Hundreds of machine guns. Thousands of mortar and artillery bombs. Aircraft. Armored personnel carriers.

While standing in Parliament and lying about it.
Nigeria imposed a blockade on Biafra. Food couldn’t get in. Medicine couldn’t get in. The famine was not an accident. It was the strategy.

When parliamentarians begged Wilson to stop — estimating two million deaths from starvation — he rebuffed them. Two days later he secretly agreed to supply Nigeria with aircraft for the first time.

When images of skeletal Biafran children shocked the world, Wilson called it “propaganda.”

Up to three million people died. Most of them children.

Britain pocketed the oil.

They have never apologized. Never acknowledged it in a school textbook. Never paid a single penny.

What They Owe:

Here is a reasonable, precedented tally. Not a number pulled from the air — a calculation built category by category from documented facts.

Oil Revenue — Biafran Territory
Nigeria has earned approximately $600 billion in oil revenue since the 1960s. Two thirds of Shell-BP’s operations were in Biafran territory. At a 60% territorial share — $360 billion. Adjusted for inflation from 1967 dollars to today — conservatively $2.5 trillion.

Wrongful Death — Up to 3 Million People
International wrongful death precedents — Holocaust reparations, ICC awards, comparable genocide settlements — range from $100,000 to $500,000 per life. At a conservative $500,000 per person — $1.5 trillion.

Structural Damages — 112 Years of the Contraption:

The 1914 amalgamation. The installation of the Caliphate as the administrative class. The 1960 handover engineered to protect British commercial dominance. The ongoing genocide that architecture enables to this day. Caribbean nations are currently pursuing $10 trillion from Britain for slavery reparations. Nigeria’s case is more recent, more direct, and more documentable. Conservative estimate — $1 trillion.

Obstruction of humanitarian aid. Arms supply to an aggressor. Compounding interest on all of the above — add $500 billion minimum.

The Total:

Approximately $6 trillion.

Twice Britain’s annual GDP.

The largest reparations claim in human history.

Every penny of it sourced from declassified British government documents. Harold Wilson’s own words. Shell-BP’s own records. The Foreign Office’s own confessions.

A free Biafra — or any legitimate successor government representing the Southeast — would have full legal standing to file this claim before the International Court of Justice.

Which is exactly why the British don’t want anyone talking about Biafra.

And exactly why they don’t want me in that briefing room.

Now you know why this is the forbidden topic.

Rise.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, during an interview with Al Jazeera's Mehdi Hassan Says Tinubu, not bothered about what is said about him
Half of Trump cabinet, criticised him
Presidential media aide, Daniel Bwala, has defended his controversial interview with Al Jazeera, insisting that the network never informed him beforehand that questions would focus on his past political statements about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The interview, conducted by journalist Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera’s programme Head to Head, has generated widespread reactions on social media and in political circles.

The interview examined the performance of President Tinubu’s administration, particularly around issues of economic reforms, corruption allegations, and security challenges in Nigeria. However, a major moment of the discussion occurred when Hasan confronted Bwala with previous statements he made while he was in the political opposition, where he had sharply criticised Tinubu.

The clips and quotations presented during the programme quickly circulated online, prompting intense public debate.

In response to the backlash, Bwala released a statement defending his performance and accusing the programme of deviating from the agreed focus of the interview.

According to him, the programme’s producers had contacted him months earlier to discuss governance issues in Nigeria, including security, the economy, and corruption. He claimed that at no time during their communications did they mention that the interview would involve confronting him with past political remarks.

“Nowhere in our almost six months of communication did they mention that they were going to challenge my past,” Bwala said, arguing that if that had been the intention, the programme should have informed him so he could prepare a proper response.

The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), on Wednesday, condemned the violent attack on former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and ex-Governor of Edo State, John Odigie-Oyegun, alongside other leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Edo State.

The attack reportedly occurred following a political ceremony held to formally welcome Olumide Apata into the ADC, during which suspected thugs allegedly assaulted party members, vandalised the ADC secretariat and attacked the residence of Chief Odigie-Oyegun.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Egbeola Wale Martins, the Council said the incident was not only criminal but also a direct assault on Nigeria’s democratic order.

IPAC described the incident as one of the most serious manifestations of political intolerance in recent times, warning that growing violence against opposition parties poses a significant threat to Nigeria’s democratic stability.

According to IPAC, political competition must never degenerate into violence, stressing that the use of intimidation, thuggery and brute force to silence opposition voices remains dangerous and unacceptable in a democratic society.
