TUESDAY CORNER (083)

It seems the bandits are back to the highways again as massive kidnappings occured on Abuja/Kaduna highway. No one knows how many people have been kidnapped and the road has become a desert of its own. Recall that in March 2021, the federal government approved the release of 809.7 billion naira for rehabilitation of Abuja/Kaduna/Kano expressway. Why is the government spending so much for a road that will be managed by bandits? And lest we say the security personnel aren't doing anything, let it be known that the police arrested 4 Bandits and rescued 40 cows and 15 sheep in Bosso LGA of Niger State. In the same Niger, there are bandit-controlled territories where bandits manage the security and economy. Are we not sitting on a keg of gunpowder? In case you expected rage from Arewa youths,  be disappointed to know that the  leader of the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (AYCF), Yerima Shettima has said the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu shoul

JOS PRISON BREAK: “10 KILLED, 252 INMATES ESCAPE"

I repeat 252! 252!! 252!!! All I can say is, Plateau people better brace yourselves because the number of “unknown gunmen” aka “bandits” aka “terrorists” have just increased by 252 in the state.  The mayhem they will most likely unleash on the populace is not something to be imagined.  One thing is certain, this was no mere “prison break”. There is a lot more to this incident. The courage and audacity to target this specific facility means that the risk was a lot more than the reward.  We can only imagine the value of the high profile persons the daredevils risked their lives to release. GUYS/MAZA Just be careful with yawo and “mu hadu, mu hadu”. These criminals are desperate and would feel they have nothing more to lose. So they would be prepared to take a lot more “risks” than usual.  Their first priority would be funds; hence roadside attacks, “obtaining”, collecting phones, wallets, cars etc and kidnapping would be on their list. The slightest provocation would lead to

Manchester United reach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decision. Details>>>>

Ole’s tricky Reds struggling Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his Red Devils are having a tricky time of it of late. Saved on several occasions by Cristiano Ronaldo’s brilliance, they have nonetheless been embarrassed in back to back home ties against their two biggest rivals, Liverpool and Manchester City. For a club that spent over 100 million pounds in the summer, adding to an incredibly expensive current squad, the performances and results do not cut it. They currently sit in 6th place in the Premier League table, nine points behind league leaders Chelsea, and six behind Manchester City. Even Arsenal, who were 20th three games into the season, find themselves three points clear of the Red Devils, who have taken four points from a possible 18 across their last six domestic ties. To rub further salt in the wound, the club were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carabao Cup by West Ham United in the third round, meaning that another chance of silverware has gone. Ole Out? Now, as p
