Foresight, Endurance, and Focus Keys to Greatness – Buratai
Foresight, Endurance, and Focus Keys to Greatness – Buratai
Former Chief of Army Staff and former Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Rtd.), has identified foresight, endurance, and focus as the surest path to greatness. General Buratai the Garkuwan Keffi shared his insights on leadership with participants of the Nigerian Air Force War College during their study tour to Tukur and Tukur Farms in Keffi, Nasarawa State. General Buratai, also Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Tukur Buratai Research Centre, emphasized the importance of foresight, endurance, and focus in achieving greatness. “To succeed, you must have focus and pursue it to a logical conclusion,” he stressed, highlighting the need for determination and perseverance. He further encouraged the participants to cultivate passion and a strong will to achieve their dreams, noting that success rarely comes easily, but with persistence, it is attainable.
The Commandant of the Air War College, Air Vice Marshal AG Kehinde, praised General Buratai’s leadership virtues, noting that leadership recruitment involves showcasing role models to future leaders. “Tomorrow, they will hold strategic leadership positions in military formations, and if we are to get the best out of them, we must showcase those who have gone ahead and acknowledge their footprints in the sands of time,” he said. “By every standard, you are an accomplished leader and statesman who has achieved a great height that not all have been able to attain.” He adds. A participant, Wing Commander AO Idoko, praised General Buratai’s visionary leadership, saying, “What I have seen here so far is a pure demonstration of visionary leadership, foresight, and planning. It only takes deliberate planning to get something like this. I am inspired to take after the personality of General Buratai because he has built a reputable career in the Nigerian Army and today, he is actively involved in national development.” Lieutenant Colonel Alliana Ayisi, an allied participant from Cameroon, noted that the visit was insightful, saying, “It is really insightful for me because it has inspired me to see what can be achieved even before retirement – a vision to make our dreams a reality.” The participants were given a brief on the activities of the farms by the Managing Director of the Farms, Engr Hamisu Tukur Buratai.
The highpoint of the visit was a comprehensive tour of the various components of the integrated farms and other production units. Situated in Keffi, Nigeria, Tukur and Tukur Farms is a multifaceted farm renowned for its diverse activities, which include snake farming, with a vast collection of species, making it one of the largest in West Africa. Additionally, the farm engages in agriculture, producing crops like maize, soybeans, and other grains, as well as animal husbandry, raising livestock such as cattle, goats, and sheep. Furthermore, the farm offers guided tours, promoting tourism and education on snake behavior, farming techniques, and conservation efforts. As a unique example of innovative farming practices and entrepreneurship in Nigeria, Tukur and Tukur Farms also hosts study tours and educational programs, as exemplified by the visit from the Nigerian Air Force War College participants.

Opinion: Doris Ogala should refrain from mentioning Dr. Chris Okafor’s name given his marital status.
Opinion: Doris Ogala should refrain from mentioning Dr. Chris Okafor’s name given his marital status.
…He is not accountable for your predicament; kindly address your case file.
Meta Facebook should take immediate action to sanitize its platform of individuals like Doris who are spreading malicious content, and Doris should be careful when referencing Lagos-based well-known Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor in connection to her faded career
Doris Ogala should be aware that the Generational Prophet is now in a fulfilling marriage with his spouse, and her recent troubles are exclusively attributed to the ancestral curse that has been a persistent issue since her previous union, which her current husband had not yet discovered.
When a grown up woman lack wisdom and good parental upbringing what should be expected from such woman is exactly what Doris Ogala portraying as human beings that fabricated lies against a true man of God and go scout-free so, no one is expected to sympathized with the faded-away actress known as Doris Ogala and she must dearly pay for her evil manipulation as nemesis hunting her back.
It’s prudent for Doris Ogala, or those close to her, to be aware of the potential risks associated with her claims regarding Dr. Chris Okafor, a married man. Without proper justification, such actions could lead to severe repercussions. The challenges she faces might be linked to her actions, and a genuine change might mitigate her situation.
Consider how the spouse of the person you’re criticizing online might feel when you address them so informally. Don’t you think she’s capable of facing you? While she may not respond to provocations, it’s advisable not to provoke further
I am taking this opportunity to advise Doris Ogala to reconsider her actions and prioritize her career by refraining from mentioning the name of a man who does not reciprocate her interest. It would also be prudent for Doris Ogala to reflect on her age and compare it with the age of the person she is so ardently pursuing and to respect the sanctity of his home, which would invite divine blessings and a peaceful life of her own if she dedicates her life to Christ, potentially reversing any adverse fate that may be looming over her.
Sincerely dedicating your life to Christ and amending your behavior can lead to divine mercy and a stable living arrangement; in my considered opinion, reforming one’s ways can yield compassion.

Banwo Identifies Structural Challenges Limiting Opposition
Banwo Identifies Structural Challenges Limiting Opposition
Public commentator Dr. Ope Banwo has identified key structural and strategic challenges limiting the effectiveness of opposition parties in Nigeria.
In a statement released from his base in America, Banwo outlined several factors, including internal divisions, weak grassroots presence, and lack of clear policy alternatives, as major obstacles facing opposition groups.
“One of the biggest issues is fragmentation. There are too many interests and not enough coordination,” he said.
He noted that multiple presidential ambitions within opposition ranks could make it difficult to build consensus around a single candidate.
Banwo also emphasised the importance of grassroots political structures, stating that electoral success in Nigeria depends heavily on local-level organisation.
“Elections are not won on social media. They are won through presence and coordination at the community level,” he explained.
Another concern raised by Banwo is what he described as inconsistent messaging from opposition parties, which he said could make it difficult for voters to identify a clear alternative to the current administration.
“Criticism alone is not enough. Voters want to see a defined direction and credible leadership,” he added.
He further pointed to the challenges of funding and long-term planning, noting that successful political campaigns require sustained investment and discipline.
According to him, defeating an incumbent government demands a high level of coordination, including strong alliances and a unified national strategy.
Banwo, however, suggested that there remains an opportunity for opposition parties to reposition themselves if they address these challenges early.
He stressed the need for compromise among political leaders, urging them to prioritise collective goals over individual ambitions.
“If there is unity, structure, and clarity of purpose, the political landscape can still change,” he said.
He concluded that the strength of any democracy depends on the presence of a viable opposition capable of offering credible alternatives to voters
