Gov. Zulum Announces Closure of Borno's Largest IDP Camp in Bama; Gwoza to Follow Closing IDP camps is one thing; ensuring safe, dignified, and sustainable returns is another. Two critical questions deserve clear answers: • Has the security of returnees been fully guaranteed, with effective measures in place to prevent renewed attacks? • Have the communities destroyed by the insurgency been rebuilt, with safe housing and essential services restored for returning residents? Until these fundamental issues are adequately addressed, can the closure of IDP camps truly be considered a durable solution? @Gidi_Traffic @UNICEF @fmha_pa @humanitarian

Just In: The killing of at least 25 residents in Kawel community, Mushere District of Bokkos Local Government Area, Plateau State, has once again raised serious concerns about the recurring attacks in the region. Residents say they are living in fear as communities continue to suffer devastating losses. The latest incident underscores the urgent need for stronger security measures, improved intelligence gathering, and faster government and security agency responses to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further loss of innocent lives.

"The roof does not boast of the rain it keeps away. So too, many fathers speak little of their struggles, yet their labor shelters generations. Today, I celebrate myself and every responsible man who wakes up each day with a determination to provide, protect, and nurture his family. Behind many smiles are sacrifices unseen, prayers unspoken, and battles fought quietly to ensure loved ones have a better tomorrow. To all fathers, father figures, and men carrying the weight of responsibility with courage and dignity—your efforts matter, your sacrifices count, and your legacy is being built every day. Happy Father's Day to us all. May God continue to strengthen our hands, reward our labor, and bless our families abundantly." #HappyFathersDay #Fatherhood #Family #Sacrifice #Legacy #GratefulHeart

Public Memorandum To:  The People of Nigeria Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria President Bola Tinubu By: Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili The Urgency to Restructure Nigeria: Why a Single‑Issue Constitutional Amendment Can No Longer Wait Nigeria is approaching a dangerous precipice. The insecurity that now defines daily life across vast stretches of our country is not merely a law‑and‑order problem; it is evidence of a Nation-state whose foundational architecture is no longer fit for purpose. Terrorists, bandits, and armed criminal networks have entrenched themselves so deeply that they now exercise a form of rival governance, openly contesting the sovereignty of the Nigerian state. In a recent public memo on state police, I challenged the increasingly fashionable belief that decentralizing policing alone would resolve this crisis. State police is necessary, overdue, and ultimately unavoidable. But it is not sufficient. Our national dysfunction is structural, not episodic. No amount of administrative tinkering can repair a constitutional foundation that was defective from inception. The 1999 Constitution - a document imposed on Nigerians without debate or consent - has trapped the country in a cycle of paralysis. It provides a pathway for amending itself, but none for replacing itself. Section 9 empowers the National Assembly to alter the Constitution, yet nowhere does it empower citizens to design a new one. For more than two decades, this contradiction has frozen Nigeria’s restructuring debate in place. This is why Nigeria must now pursue a single, urgent reform: a Single‑Issue Constitutional Amendment that creates a lawful, binding, and time‑bound pathway for a Citizens‑Led Sovereign National Conference whose final draft Constitution will be submitted to Nigerians in a referendum. Kenya escaped the abyss of ethnic conflict by using its 2010 referendum to give citizens the power to remake the State - a lesson Nigeria can no longer afford to ignore. Such an amendment would not be an act of rebellion against the existing order; it would be an act of fidelity to it. By using the Constitution’s own amendment mechanism to authorize a new constitutional process, Nigeria would avoid the chaos of extra‑legal improvisation while finally giving citizens the authority they have long been denied. It is strategic because it avoids scattering national energy across dozens of contested amendment items. It is legitimate because it grounds the birth of a new Constitution in the authority of the old. This idea is not new. In 2021, FixPolitics, the research‑anchored advocacy organization I chaired, proposed this exact amendment to the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution. The logic remains compelling. Nigeria’s problem is not one broken clause but a broken constitutional architecture. A house built on a faulty foundation cannot be repaired by rearranging the furniture. A Citizens‑Led Sovereign National Conference, properly constituted, would negotiate the federal structure, fiscal arrangements, security architecture, human rights protections, and national identity that a modern Nigerian state requires. Its composition must be broad enough to prevent political class capture and inclusive enough to reflect the country’s true diversity - ethnic nationalities, women, youth, labour, civil society, persons with disabilities, traditional institutions, faith communities, the private sector, diaspora Nigerians, and elected representatives. Its proceedings must be transparent, participatory, and accessible to the public. And its final draft must be ratified through a national referendum. Some have argued that the Tinubu administration has already “achieved” restructuring through scattered policy reforms. But piecemeal adjustments are not restructuring. They are, at best, administrative conveniences. At worst, they are distractions that obscure the deeper crisis. True restructuring requires a collectively owned, citizen‑driven constitutional process - not executive‑led policy tweaks that leave the underlying power imbalances intact. Nigeria cannot continue outsourcing its future to elite bargains. A country of more than 200 million people cannot be remade through backroom negotiations. The National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly must therefore be called upon - through collective civic action - to pass one urgent amendment: the amendment that returns constitution‑making authority to the people. Not many amendments. Not cosmetic amendments. Not amendments that pretend to restructure Nigeria on behalf of the people. Just one: the amendment that empowers Nigerians to restructure Nigeria for themselves. Our condition is dire. Our window is narrowing. The insecurity that now engulfs the country is not merely a failure of policing; it is the predictable outcome of a constitutional order that concentrates power without accountability, centralizes authority without capacity, and imposes unity without consent. Nigeria cannot survive the next decade on the foundation of the last one. The demand before us is simple: create the pathway, mandate the Conference, submit the draft to a referendum, and let Nigerians decide. There is no reason to be paralyzed by the fear that a constitutional referendum will unravel Nigeria. Far from it. Look across at Kenya which escaped the abyss of the worst ethnic conflict by using its 2010 constitutional referendum to give their citizens the power to remake and unify their country - a lesson Nigeria can no longer afford to ignore. Now is the next best time to reset Nigeria since independence. The question that is to be answered by each of us is the one that has haunted our national journey for decades. Can Nigeria ever Become and lead the rest of Africa to “Claim the 21st Century?” The answer, dear compatriots is in our hands because as the GenZs would say, Nigeria desperately needs those who will step up to “carry her matter for their heads”. Are you in for the right kind of collective actions that Nigeria deserves from her citizens? The answer is in your hand.

🇳🇬🌍 WHEN NIGERIA LEADS, THE WORLD WATCHES! 🇳🇬🌍 What a moment! What a statement! What a proud day to be Nigerian! As Incoming @Rotary International President, Rotarian Yinka Babalola, made his grand entrance at his reception during the Rotary International Convention in Taiwan, the atmosphere came alive with the unmistakable sound of Nigeria's globally celebrated anthem of confidence and excellence — "Buga... Oni Baje... Olo lo lo!" by Kizz Daniel and Tekno. It was far more than music. It was Nigeria announcing her presence to the world. In that unforgettable moment, our culture, our energy, our creativity, and our excellence took centre stage before a global audience. It was a powerful reminder that Nigerians do not simply occupy space—we create impact, inspire change, and leave lasting impressions wherever we go. Nigeria is blessed with extraordinary people, immense talent, and an unbreakable spirit. From business to academia, from innovation to humanitarian service, Nigerians continue to demonstrate that greatness is not an aspiration—it is part of who we are. As the African proverb wisely says: "When the roots of a tree are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind." Our roots are deep. Deep in resilience. Deep in courage. Deep in creativity. Deep in excellence. The world witnessed it in Taiwan. Rotary witnessed it in Taiwan. And history will remember it. Congratulations to Rotarian Yinka Babalola as he prepares to lead Rotary International. May his presidency be marked by vision, impact, service, and transformational leadership. 🇳🇬 This is Nigeria. 🇳🇬 This is the Nigerian spirit. 🇳🇬 This is Nigerian excellence on the global stage.
