CONSEQUENCES OF MILITARY DEFEAT OR FAILURE
CONSEQUENCES OF MILITARY DEFEAT OR FAILURE
By Maj. Gen. U.I. Mohammed (Rtd), mni
The Nigerian Armed Forces are currently engaged in multiple operations across the country to rid our nation of insurgents, kidnappers, bandits, secessionists, and other hostile elements bent on destabilizing our country. While many victories are being recorded, it is only natural that there are also setbacks, operational reversals, and occasional failures.
History reminds us of the grave consequences that can follow the collapse of a nation’s military. We all witnessed the fall of the Syrian Armed Forces, which led to the disintegration of the Assad regime. In Libya, the armed forces were overrun, Gaddafi fled the presidential palace, and was eventually captured and brutally executed. Saddam Hussein suffered a similar fate—after his military was subdued, he went into hiding, was later captured, humiliated, tried, and executed.
Few Nigerians fully comprehend the implications if our Armed Forces were ever defeated. The consequences of such a failure would be dire, widespread, and far-reaching. As someone who witnessed the collapse of Somalia firsthand in 1993, following the fall of Siad Barre, I saw a once stable country descend into lawlessness, where anarchy reigned, and the people suffered immensely.
If Nigeria’s military were ever defeated, the following catastrophic consequences are likely to unfold:
The President, Governors, Senators, and all public office holders—from federal to local levels—would lose their positions.
All government institutions and agencies would cease to function.
Criminals, insurgents, and violent groups would become de facto rulers.
Cities, towns, and critical infrastructure would fall into the hands of armed gangs.
Businesses would shut down due to insecurity, arson, and lawlessness.
Citizens—politicians, business leaders, professionals—would flee or seek refuge in IDP camps or neighbouring countries.
Schools, from primary to universities, would close indefinitely.
Banks and financial institutions would collapse; savings would be lost as the naira becomes worthless or unrecognized.
Basic services like electricity and water would vanish due to the breakdown of public utilities.
Property ownership would be rendered meaningless, as legal documents like Certificates of Occupancy would no longer hold value.
A brutal society would emerge—where might is right, jungle justice reigns, and the vulnerable suffer.
Cars, homes, and valuables would be forcefully taken over by criminals.
Women and children would suffer untold hardship, including rape and exploitation.
Armed gangs would control territories, dictating laws and meting out violence without accountability.
Correctional facilities would be breached; dangerous criminals would be unleashed into society.
Families would be torn apart—husbands, wives, and children separated or lost.
Prominent individuals would be stripped of their possessions; criminals would lay claim to their homes, cars, and even family members.
Hunger and famine would follow, as farms are abandoned and markets destroyed.
Drug abuse, gangsterism, and prostitution would become widespread.
Family life, social order, and human dignity would collapse.
These devastating scenarios are not presented to cause panic but to awaken our collective consciousness. Nigerians must support the Armed Forces and appreciate the weight of responsibility they carry. Our political leadership must do everything possible to empower and equip our military to fulfil its constitutional role of defending the nation from all enemies—foreign and domestic.
I do not believe that the Nigerian Armed Forces will be defeated. But I urge every citizen, every institution, and every leader to play their part. Let this be a call to patriotism, to unity, and to the unflinching resolve to end insecurity and preserve the future of our beloved country.
Police Day 2026: IGP Disu Leads Nationwide Walkathon To Strengthen Community Trust
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Tuesday led the management team, alongside officers and personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, in a nationwide walkathon to commemorate the 2026 National Police Day.
The event, held across state capitals and the Federal Capital Territory, formed part of activities marking Day Two of the annual celebration, themed “Community Partnership: Building Trust.”
The symbolic exercise, which drew participation from both police personnel and members of the public, was aimed at showcasing unity, discipline, and a renewed commitment to community policing and public safety.
According to the Force leadership, the walkathon underscores the Nigeria Police Force’s resolve to strengthen public trust, deepen engagement with citizens, and enhance collaboration in tackling security challenges across the country.
Participants described the initiative as a practical step toward bridging the gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve, while also promoting physical fitness and mental well-being among officers and civilians alike.
With the theme reflecting a shared responsibility for safety, the Police reiterated that sustainable security can only be achieved through active partnership with the public.
The event concluded with a renewed call for collective action under the banner: “Together We Walk, Together We Secure,” emphasizing unity of purpose in building a safer and more secure society for all Nigerians.

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
… Affirming God’s omnipotence to unveil malicious schemes.
To be frank, the ability of Doris Ogala and her associates to withstand the arduous challenges set by Senior Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor of Grace Nation Global at the culmination of the Harvest of Babies 2026 conference, the church’s flagship event, continues to elude me.
It’s advisable not to offend a powerful spiritual leader like Prophet Chris Okafor to avoid potential consequences, as seen in the situation with Doris Ogala, who was rebuked by the prophet; can she rectify the situation through confession?
Insiders close to the man of God claim that despite relentless online bullying and blackmailing, the Generational Prophet remains resolute, stating that God’s power has been evident throughout the commission’s existence. The reason for this wonderful statement is found in the scriptures, “Upon this rock I shall build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” The more falsehoods are spread about the church and its leader, the more God elevates the church and propels him to greater heights, he asserted. He emphasized that blessings and fruitfulness are antidotes to curses, noting that God continues to bestow blessings upon the church, including miracles and the gift of children, which is one reason for the grand finale of the annual family liberation program, The Harvest of Babies.
However, the man of God issued a curse on each person speaking ill of the church, blackmailing, and uttering all sorts of falsehoods against the church, declaring that if they refused to repent within a few days, the earth would swallow them and their family members, stating that they would be of no use to themselves, their families, or society at large.
The spiritual leader cautions his followers to beware of such individuals including Doris Ogala who may taint their faith, and urges them to treat these persons as emissaries of the devil, avoiding them altogether.
Recall that the 2026 harvest of babies concluded with a remarkable birth of a miracle baby boy to a woman on the third day of the conference, accompanied by the dedication of several other miracle babies, all to the glory of God.
