Now that the man Nigerians admire and trust, General Musa, has been appointed Minister of Defence, one uncomfortable question refuses to leave my mind:

Will he truly be able to work with the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle?

Before anyone answers that, let us remind ourselves who Oga Bello really is.

In 2021, when he was still Governor of Zamfara State, he boldly declared in a now-viral interview:
“Not all bandits are criminals.”
According to him, bandits only became violent because vigilante groups had cheated them.

But that is not even the most troubling part.

In November 2025, one of his former senior aides granted an explosive interview, alleging that Matawalle supplied 36 brand-new Toyota Hilux vehicles to notorious bandit commanders. Not only that, the aide claimed he maintained communication with these commanders even after becoming Minister.

And then came the most shocking accusation of all.

His successor, Governor Dauda Lawal, publicly accused Matawalle of harboring bandit leaders inside the Government House and diverting the resources of the state to enable banditry. He even went further to call for Matawalle’s removal from the Defence Ministry if the Federal Government is truly serious about ending terrorism and banditry.

So I ask again

General Musa may be ready to fight for Nigeria
but is everyone around him ready to fight the same enemy?

And how exactly are these appointments made without any background checks whatsoever?

This leads to the question I keep asking: can we truly separate our government from the terrorists killing us?

Bakers Dismiss Claims of Flour Price Crash as Bread Prices Rise Over 200% Nationwide

Despite viral reports suggesting a major drop in flour prices, Nigerian bakers insist there has been no meaningful reduction, keeping bread prices at record highs. Over the past two years, the cost of bread has surged by more than 200% due to soaring prices of flour, sugar, yeast, butter, and energy. A family-sized loaf now sells for N2,000 or more, while smaller loaves have tripled in price.
Bakers say production costs remain overwhelming despite slight reductions in flour from over N80,000 per 50kg bag to around N58,000. They warn that unless ingredient and energy prices fall significantly, bread prices will not come down. Meanwhile, consumers continue to pressure bakers for relief, with many households struggling under rising food inflation. Industry operators say several bakeries may shut down if costs persist.

Burna Boy Offers to Cover Funeral Costs of Children k+lled during a Mass Sh++ting at a children birthday party in U.S.

Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has pledged to pay the funeral expenses of the four young victims k%lled in the recent mass sh++ting at a children’s birthday party in Stockton, California.

The victims, aged between 8 and 21, were f@taly sh+t on Saturday, November 29, at Monkey Space, a banquet hall in unincorporated San Joaquin County.

Eleven others were wo¥nded in what authorities believe was a targeted att+ck.

In a statement shared with the Stockton Record, Burna Boy said he first learned of the tragedy while listening to “The Breakfast Club” radio show.

“When I heard about the children m¥rdered in Stockton, my heart broke,” he said.

“No family should ever face this kind of p+in alone. I wanted to do whatever I could to support these parents as they begin the long process of healing.”

After contacting industry executive Wack 100, Burna Boy was connected with Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee, who confirmed the artist’s intention to support the affected families.

The Grammy winner was particularly touched by the story of 14-year-old Amari Peterson, one of the four k%lled.

A GoFundMe page created for the teen described him as an active football and basketball player who had begun planning for college.

Vice Mayor Lee thanked Burna Boy for extending help to families he has never met, saying his generosity should inspire others to support the grieving community.

As of Tuesday, December 2, no arrests have been made. The incident has drawn national attention, adding to ongoing conversations about g¥n v+olence in the United States.

Burna Boy’s gesture comes amid public scrutiny following a viral moment in which he paused a Colorado performance to call out a couple who appeared to be asleep in the front row.
