"I'm not a Nigerian artist. I don't want people calling me just Nigerian. That is d!srespectful.
I'm not a Nigerian artist. When people call me Nigerian, I feel like my dreams are failing. I'm African, and my dream is to make Africa united. When I see Nigeria and South Africa fighting every time, I cry. America is successful today because all the countries(states) that make up America don't see any difference in each other. Their strength comes from unity. When you say you are from the US, people respect you without asking which state you are from, but for Africa, it's always us fighting each other. The day Africa becomes the United States of Africa, we will have the strongest nation in the world. Our music industry will grow, and our sound will be global. Africans are strong, but disunity and hate weakens us."

Embrace Integrity, Olukoyede Urges Students

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has charged students in the country to shun all forms of economic and financial crimes and embrace a life of integrity for a fulfilling future.

He gave the charge recently during the induction of students of Excellent Kiddies Academy, Bwari, Abuja into EFCC’s Integrity Club.

Represented by the Head of the Interface Unit of the Public Affairs Department of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC I, Tony Orilade, Olukoyede emphasized the importance of moral uprightness among young people, urging them to surround themselves with individuals who uphold integrity and positive values.

“To secure a brighter future, you must get it right from the beginning. Surround yourself with good people, friends and acquaintances that will help you grow in wisdom and integrity,” he said.

While warning them against associating with individuals involved in financial crimes, he stated that negative influence from such people could draw them to criminal behaviours and that could in turn, earn them grave consequences.

“Anyone who engages in financial crimes is on a path that leads to jail. Once convicted, such a person becomes an ex-convict and loses the opportunity to hold any public office in Nigeria. That is a heavy price to pay for associating with the wrong crowd,” he said.

Olukoyede further stated that the project of inaugurating EFCC’s Integrity Club in primary and secondary schools was part of the Commission’s policy of “catching them young,” which is about nurturing children to be ambassadors of integrity in their homes, schools, communities, and the country at large.

Also speaking at the event, the Head of Enlightenment and Reorientation Unit of the Commission, Assistant Commander of the EFCC II, Aisha Mohammed, enlightened the children on the functions and activities of the EFCC. She encouraged them to be honest, disciplined, and upright in their daily lives, noting that integrity is a crucial ingredient for success.

“Youths must understand that honesty and integrity are values that never go out of fashion. They open doors and keep you on the right path in life,” she said.

The highlight of the induction ceremony was a quiz competition that dwelt on EFCC and its operations. Two students, Glory Okinbaliyi and Divine Oyaniyi Bimbola emerged winners and were rewarded with android smartphones.

In his vote of thanks, the Integrity Club Master of the school, Mr. Gbenga Jatau, expressed appreciation to the EFCC Chairman and management his team for bringing the club to the school.

“On behalf of the management, staff, and students of Excellent Kiddies Academy, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to the EFCC Chairman for this great honour. We applaud the Commission’s unwavering commitment to fighting all forms of economic and financial crimes and building a better Nigeria,” he said.

BREAKING NEWS: NIGER MILITARY NEUTRALIZES FULANI BANDITS NEAR BORDER, CAPTURES KEY FIGURE ISMAILI GARGA DIALLO

In a major security breakthrough, the Niger Republic military has successfully neutralized several suspected Fulani bandits and terrorists at the nation’s border region with Nigeria.

The operation, which took place yesterday day, left many of the assailants wounded and a number of them captured, including a notorious figure identified as Ismaili Garga Diallo.

This decisive military action comes amid intensified efforts by General Abdourahamane Tchiani's administration to clamp down on terrorism and cross-border criminal activities.

According to reports, the General had earlier issued warnings in the Fulani language—three times—to dissuade the armed group from further violence, but the warnings were ignored.

Observers say this latest operation demonstrates the government’s firm stance on restoring peace and stability in the region, with General Tchiani showing zero tolerance for acts of terrorism.

Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the operation, but the development has been welcomed as a positive step towards enhanced security in the region.

How Israel Tricked Iran 20 Top Military Leaders With Fake Meeting to Kill Them

At every step, Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, has dominated Iran over the past 10 days. Each action could be its own movie. Who knew that the Mossad had created inside of Iran a drone factory. These drones proved strategic as the war began in destroying missile launchers and defense systems.

Now we find out that the Mossad was able to lure 20 top military leaders to meet together at the same place so they could be neutralized. Understand, these are brutal killers. Iran is the top state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and it oppresses their own people daily. Christians are forbidden to meet, and if you are the leader of a house church, you can end up in jail.

According to Israeli Journalist Amit Segal (pictured), who can be seen daily on N12, Israel’s most popular news channel, “Israel … create[d] a fake phone call for 20 members of the air force senior staff and call[ed] them to a specific bunker in Tehran.” All Israel News reported, “The fake Israeli phone operation called for an emergency meeting for top IRGC operatives.”

“The ruse successfully drew the entire senior leadership of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),” claimed Segal. At this point, it was quite easy for the Israeli Air Force to zero in on that location, taking out some of the most evil men on the planet.

//Leaders neutralized:
• General Amir Ali Hajizadeh and his deputies, who oversaw Iran’s Aerospace Force/Ballistic Missiles.
• Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the head of Iran’s Armed Forces.
• Maj. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, second in command
• Head of IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, known for repeatedly calling for Israel to be wiped off the map
• Two top nuclear scientists

“The elimination of Iran’s top military leadership meant that there was no one who was ‘alive to give the command to strike back.’ [It] paralyzed the Tehran regime for several hours. However, the ayatollah regime and the IRGC fired a barrage of some 100 ballistic missiles against Israel some time later,” according to All Israel News.

An Israeli security official told Fox News, “We carried out specific activities to help us learn more about them, and then use that information to influence their behavior. We knew this would lead them to meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”

Delivering a comprehensive overview of the project, the Project Coordinator, Engr. Ipinlaye Olaiya, emphasized the central role of gender mainstreaming across all components of the TRIMING Project, noting that the deliberate integration of gender perspectives was not only strategic but essential to the long-term sustainability and impact of the interventions.
