WHY TINUBU’s GOVERNMENT MUST KICK ARSE NOW_

News of the recent Bodija , Ibadan mega explosion jolted me to the marrow and the resultant carnage bothered my mind not less. This incident came on the heels of successful kidnapping incidents nationwide quickly followed by more brazen incidents in Ekiti state only just a few days ago.
I still try to comprehend why the successive government input into resources is not justified by tangible results and reductions in the violent criminal wave but here I am with more questions than answers.
At this juncture, am tempted to ask how did we get here and why?
Going back in time, previous governments could have tamed the insecurity monster if only they had sincerity of purpose and the will to go to the root causes and address issues as most professionally and honestly as possible.
Am opinionated about how the present government can mitigate the threats of violent crime to the economy and safety of the people and property and I make no apologies for this. Much as causation has been attributed to poverty, religious and ethnic extremism and what not, i proffer the federal government revisit its security architecture and remodel countermeasure strategies to yield fruitful results. It behoves a good businessman to recoil his strategies if output isn’t justified by investments and this is what the government must do, a kind of serious rethink to stem the incessant increase in this violent crime typology.
Practical and result oriented steps can contrast political considerations and gains but therein lies the solution if only President Tinubu possess the will power to bell the cat for national and collective good.
Previous governments shied away from going the full hog because of ethnic and religious considerations but where are we now?
I suggest the following practical approaches to confront the situation and bring the much needed and long overdue respite to the hapless Nigerians who wake up daily with the apprehension of unmitigated attack by the sons of lucifer merchandisers:
1. JUDICIARY: a special court should be set up to fast track and conclude promptly,cases of apprehended suspects without the customary delay which emboldens other would be kidnappers to engage in the ‘trade’ safe in the knowledge that while their trial is protracted, justice can be unduly influenced by money and other conditions. I clamour this position on the background of the lengthy time it took the Lagos State government to conclude the trial of that notorious kidnapper – Evans. Even at that, i doubt if Evans’ chapter has been fully brought to conclusion as there may be pending appeal to the apex court by his lawyers
2. LEGISLATURE: the National Assembly should as a matter of doctrine of necessity introduce and fast track a bill to create and empower a special court to handle and dispense with kidnapping and banditry trials. Modus operandi of the court including but not limited to financial autonomy, sentencing and other statutory powers should be unambiguously stated in the enacted law
3. EXECUTIVE (A) without a strong and purposeful political will by TINUBU’s government, Nos. 1 and 2 above can only be a pipe dream and for this to manifest, TINUBU must be prepared to “KICK ARSE” for collective good and damn the consequences. He must be sincere in this approach to earn the trust of the populace which already is battered by the effects of the economic downturn on everyday living
4. EXECUTIVE (B) the situation calls for a revisit to the widely clamoured re-organization of the first responder law enforcement agency in the country – the Nigerian Police. I have for a long time subscribed to the notion of dismantling the over centralized police management system in favour of state or regional units. This will encourage improved policing in the community predicated on direct and reliable intelligence gathering to detect and deter crime before commission. Each state /regional government collaboration will fashion a result oriented Standard Operating Procedure, SOP, in line with expectations and decide its security needs and priorities and act accordingly without relying on a over centralized system in Abuja. State security votes from the federal government can be augmented to enhance operational efficiency. Budgetary allocations expenditures can be monitored closely to deter mis placement of priorities and corruption. Standards of employment of recruits and officer cadre will be determined by the state/region and not some counterproductive considerations hiding behind a flawed and obsolete Federal Character Commission. Continuous on the job training will be mandatory to improve performance in line with modern law enforcement agencies’ practices obtainable elsewhere in the world.
Finally, I hope, but with some strong reservations for political expediency , that TINUBU will take the bull by the horn, kick arse and provide a safe and secure Nigerian environment for the citizens to inhabit without fear and trepidation and consequentially encourage Foreign Direct Investment to stimulate the country’s economy which presently is in dire straits!

Excitement as Zamfara Under Governor Lawal Begins Airlift of Pilgrims at Zamfara Airport
Excitement as Zamfara Under Governor Lawal Begins Airlift of Pilgrims at Zamfara Airport
There is palpable excitement in Zamfara State as the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal officially commenced the 2026 Hajj airlift for pilgrims from the Gusau Airport (GIA). In a historic move aimed at easing the pilgrimage process, the state government announced that the first batch of pilgrims who departed for the Holy Land today, Friday, 15th May 2026.
This milestone marks the fulfillment of Governor Lawal’s promise to make direct departures from Zamfara a reality, eliminating the need for pilgrims to travel to other states for airlift. However, the state government has issued a strict advisory to the public regarding conduct at the airport. To ensure security and facilitate the smooth coordination of the airlift operations, escorting pilgrims to the airport is strictly prohibited.
Family members and friends wishing to bid farewell to their loved ones are directed to do so only at the Hajj Camp. The restriction, according to officials, is a necessary measure to prevent congestion and maintain order at the airport premises. Officials confirm that the airlift is now underway at Gusau International Airport. The development has been met with widespread praise from intending pilgrims, who expressed relief at being able to begin their spiritual journey directly from their home state.
The Zamfara State Government extended its sincere gratitude to Governor Lawal for his commitment, emphasizing that the direct airlift reflects a new chapter of convenience and efficiency for the state’s annual Hajj operations.

Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders
Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders
…Reaffirm that when disobedience occurs, God’s Kingdom withdraws; serving with sincerity and fervor leads to triumph
~By Sunday Adeyemi
The metamorphosis of Grace Nation into a terrestrial paradise is palpable, with multifaceted miracles manifesting daily, as it has evolved from a church into a comprehensive movement where the all-powerful hand of God operates in diverse dimensions
The 14th of May 2026 midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions service was a testament to the power of faith, witnessing remarkable displays of miraculous healings, deliverances, and solutions. God’s omnipresent hand was visibly manifest, touching lives and restoring health, notably in the case of a man afflicted with body pains for 26 years, who, after being prayed for by the Generational Prophet, experienced instantaneous relief.
During the midweek service, a notable miracle took place when an 11-year-old boy who was born mute spoke for the first time. Furthermore, a woman carrying twins for an extraordinary period of 2 years was suddenly delivered; labor ensued immediately after she received prayer, necessitating her hospitalization. In a stunning display of divine intervention, growth ceased, and a woman testified to the efficacy of the Generational Prophet’s prayers, which had been offered on her behalf a few weeks earlier. Specifically, her business-related struggles seemed insurmountable until her tricycle, which had lain dormant for weeks, suddenly sprang to life without any mechanical intervention.
Marital obstacles hindering the two brides-to-be were removed, as many expectant mothers were blessed with miracle babies. It is evident that Grace Nation is undergoing its phases of astounding Signs and Wonders.
Generational Prophet Dr. Chris Okafor, in his teachings on ‘Dealing With My Daddy’s Devil,’ points out that the sins of fathers can weigh heavily on their children, and unless one actively works to break this cycle, generational battles will inevitably continue from one generation to the next
*How to Deal with Your Daddy’s Devil*
To successfully address the issue of generational curses or strongholds in your family, it is necessary to understand the underlying spiritual principles and technical aspects. Knowing the source and method of entry of the devil into your bloodline, as well as the reasons behind its establishment in your father’s house, is vital. By understanding these key concepts, you will be able to make positive changes and effectively deal with these generational battles
*Breaking Free from Generational Conflict.*
In order to overcome the devilish influences of your father, serving your Lord and Savior in truth and spirit is essential; this empowers and elevates you above all earthly struggles
A strong prayer life is crucial for spiritual well-being; the devil commonly uses the depletion of one’s prayer life as a tactic to dominate the lives of God’s spiritually vulnerable children
Hence, the sole legitimate approach to terminating the devil’s influence within one’s family lineage involves authentic devotion to God, necessitating a superior force to dislodge an entrenched inferior spirit, with Generational Prophet of God Dr. Chris Okafor underscoring adherence to covenant principles as pivotal in transcending intergenerational curses
The midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) took place at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide, situated in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
