Macron Backs Tinubu as France Pledges Full Support to Nigeria Amid Escalating Terror Threat

French President Emmanuel Macron has assured President Bola Tinubu of France’s full support as Nigeria battles a worsening wave of terrorism, mass kidnappings, and violent attacks across the North and Middle Belt. Macron revealed via his official X account that he spoke directly with Tinubu, expressing solidarity and promising to strengthen France’s security partnership with Nigeria at the president’s request.

The call comes as Nigeria declares a nationwide state of emergency after multiple mass abductions of schoolchildren and deadly assaults on churches and rural communities. Tinubu announced plans to recruit 20,000 additional police officers, deploy forest guards, and reinforce security in schools and places of worship.

The crisis coincides with international concern, including U.S. President Donald Trump’s warnings and rising criticism over Nigeria’s handling of insecurity. Analysts caution that Tinubu’s increased troop deployment may not be enough to curb the escalating violence.

I just watched a woman who gave 35 years of her life to the State of Florida.

Her badge # read 100.

She wasn’t a DEI hire. She wasn’t pushed in by politics or quotas.

She was hired because she was competent… disciplined… and built for the job.

And after 35 years, she was able to retire with honor in a Republican-controlled state.

A state that still values law enforcement… a state that rewards service instead of punishing it.
Tallahassee may lean Democrat as a city, but the Highway Patrol she served under operates in a Republican-led state that protects order, merit, and courage.

Lieutenant Thompson, I salute you. Thank you for your service and your unwavering dedication.

Can we all give this woman a thank you, an amen, or a salute?

US Supreme Court to Hear Trump’s Appeal on Ending Birthright Citizenship in Landmark Immigration Case

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear President Donald Trump’s appeal seeking to reinstate his executive order that redefines birthright citizenship by excluding children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary-status parents. The order, signed on January 20 during Trump’s second term, has been blocked nationwide after a federal judge ruled it would cause “irreparable harm” and abruptly reverse long-standing citizenship policy. The case now positions the Supreme Court to determine both the legality of the order and the extent of presidential authority over citizenship. Arguments will take place in the spring, with a ruling expected by early summer. The decision could become one of the most consequential immigration rulings in decades.

Bashir Ahmad – Trump's America Has No Right To Tell Nigeria How To Abolish Sharia Law

Former late Buhari's failed aide, Bashir Ahmad has lambl@sted the United States for allegedly trying to push Nigeria into abolishing Sharia law and dissolving Hisbah commissions, calling the move a brazen assau!t on the nation’s sovereignty.

One word for Bashir?

“The pronouncement of President Donald Trump inv@ding Nigeria has trigg£red more problems in the country. Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo has been claiming, saying there is a Christian genøcide in Nigeria. If I place a cûrse on him, I swear to God who made me, he will not last 24 hours,”

U.S. Appeals Court Blocks Trump Administration’s Attempt to Halt School Mental Health Grants

A U.S. federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration’s bid to stop the release of millions in school mental health grants meant to address nationwide shortages of counselors, psychologists, and social workers. The grants—approved after the 2022 Uvalde school shooting—had been distributed by the Biden administration with emphasis on hiring counselors from diverse or local communities. The Trump administration sought to roll back the program, calling the criteria “divisive.” A federal judge earlier ruled the cancellation attempt “arbitrary and capricious,” and the 9th Circuit has now denied an emergency stay, restoring funds to 16 states, including millions in California districts.

US Cuts Work Permit Validity for Non-Citizens From 5 Years to 18 Months Over Security Concerns

The United States has reduced the validity period of employment authorization for non-citizens from five years to 18 months as part of a new security-focused immigration policy. USCIS says shorter renewals will enable more frequent background checks to detect fraud and security threats. The move follows a recent attack in Washington and comes amid a broader suspension of immigration processing for 19 countries under the Trump administration, raising concerns about prolonged uncertainty for thousands of applicants.

Boris Johnson Says He Feels “Perfectly Safe” in Nigeria Despite Rising Insecurity at Imo Economic Summits

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has declared that he felt “perfectly safe” during his visit to Nigeria, despite widespread insecurity and global concern over rising violence. Speaking at the Imo State Economic Summit 2025 in Owerri, Johnson dismissed warnings about Nigeria’s security situation and praised Governor Hope Uzodimma’s plans for 24-hour electricity and sustainable power. His remarks contrast sharply with ongoing mass kidnappings, banditry, and international criticism, including recent warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump. Johnson emphasized Nigeria’s potential and highlighted strong cultural and economic ties between Nigeria and the UK.

Just In: Senate chambers buzzed with tension as Senate President Godswill Akpabio reportedly told fellow senators that “Donald Trump is on our necks”— insisting that the U.S. is watching closely and already thre@tening action against Nigeria over rising terror!sm concerns.

According to political analyst Okwy Chris, this is exactly why Gen. Christopher Musa was quickly appointed as Nigeria’s new Defence Minister.

His words were sharp:

“Nigerians, now you can see the real reason Gen. Musa was made Defence Minister. He’s the man they believe can clean up the m3ss they created. These leaders fear America, not the Nigerians they sn@tched p0wer from.”

This development has stirred major conversations nationwide — especially with the idea that international pressure, not internal accountability, is what finally forces Nigerian leaders to “do the right thing.”

Is this the wake-up call the government needs?
Nigeria may be entering a new phase of global scrutiny — and the world is watching.

Do you think America’s pressure will actually make Nigerian leaders act right, or will it change nothing?

South Africa Responds With Humor After U.S. Excludes It From 2025 G20 Activities

South Africa has reacted with dry humor after the U.S. confirmed that Pretoria will not be invited to participate in any G20 activities during Washington’s 2025 presidency. The decision, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, solidifies South Africa’s full exclusion despite being a founding G20 member. Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya jokingly said the country would “take a commercial break” until the U.K. assumes the presidency next year. The move comes amid worsening U.S.–South Africa relations under President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly criticized the country’s policies and boycotted the 2024 G20 summit in Johannesburg.

Trump Hosts Peace Summit as DR Congo and Rwanda Agree to Sign Washington Deal Amid Escalating M23 Conflict

The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda are set to sign a US-brokered peace deal in Washington, hosted by President Donald Trump, despite ongoing clashes between DR Congo’s army and M23 rebels in the east. The agreement aims to end years of cross-border tensions, even as the M23 launches fresh offensives and regional forces engage in coordinated operations. Analysts warn that the signing may offer symbolic progress but is unlikely to halt hostilities without major concessions, including the withdrawal of Rwandan troops and disarmament of FDLR militias. The US and Qatar are driving the mediation, linking peace to future cooperation on energy, mining and regional infrastructure.

Akpabio Rejects ‘Bow and Go’ for Ex-CDS Musa, Cites Security Crisis and Global Scrutiny

Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday rejected calls for a “bow and go” clearance for former Chief of Defence Staff and ministerial nominee, Gen. Christopher Musa (rtd). The session became tense after Senator Sani Musa proposed waiving questions, prompting loud objections from lawmakers. Akpabio insisted that the nation’s worsening security situation—including the recent abduction of over 200 schoolchildren in Niger State—required a full public screening. He stressed that international attention, including remarks referencing Donald Trump, made rigorous scrutiny necessary. Order was restored, and the Senate conducted a full interrogation of the nominee shortly after President Tinubu’s request for his confirmation was read.

Hakeem Jeffries tells CNN that the charges against Cuellar were “very thin,” and that Trump’s pardon was “the right outcome.

Colombian Fisherman’s Family Files Human Rights Complaint Over Deadly US Boat Strike




The family of Colombian fisherman Alejandro Carranza, killed in a U.S. military boat strike on Sept. 15, has filed a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights accusing the U.S. government of illegally killing him. The petition claims Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered attacks without knowing who was on the boats. Colombian President Gustavo Petro has also accused the U.S. of murder, insisting Carranza was a harmless fisherman showing distress signals. The incident is part of a wider U.S. strike campaign against alleged drug boats under President Donald Trump, which has killed more than 80 people and drawn bipartisan scrutiny in Congress over legality and possible war crimes — especially amid reports that survivors of an earlier strike were killed in a second attack.

Retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Sheriff Abubakar Rabiu Drops Expl0sive Open Letter, Accuses Northern Clerics of Fueling Extrem!sm

A retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sheriff Abubakar Rabiu, has dropped one of the boldest, loudest, and most uncomfortable truths Northern Nigeria has heard in years — and his message is now spreading through mosques like wildfire.

In his fiery open letter, the respected ex-cop accused a section of Northern Islamic cler!cs of:

“Po!soning the minds of our youth with vituperat!ve, inciting and danger0usly divisive sermons.”

He warned that some preachers have turned the pulpit into a battleground, labeling Christians as “arne,” “kafurai,” and “infidels destined for h3ll.”
And he didn’t mince words:

“This is not Islam. This is m@dness. And this m@dness gave birth to Boko Haram.”

Rabiu argued that h@teful preaching, combined with the Almajiri system, has created a breeding ground for extrem!sm:

“An idle mind is the dev!l’s workshop. Those street children begging today will become tomorrow's recruits and fo0t soldiers for terr0r groups.”

He also questioned why Nigeria gets flagged internationally:

“Instead of shouting that Trump is Islamophob!c, ask why America put us on that list.
Try this kind of preaching in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE—even Cameroon—and you’ll be arrested the same day.”

Rabiu called on the President, the National Assembly, Northern governors, and all LG chairmen to urgently enact laws that:

Crim!nalize calling any Nigerian “arne” or “kafir” from the pulpit
✔ Ban street begging by children (Almajiri)
✔ End h@te speech disguised as relig!ous preaching

He warned that failure to act may attract the same global digital w@r that turned Afghanistan and Iraq into ruins.

But he ended with hope:

“If we implement these measures sincerely, Nigeria will return to the peace we enjoyed in the 70s–90s when Muslims and Christians shared meals, drank from the same cup, and buried each other’s de@d.”

This message is loud, raw, and shaking the entire region — and the conversation has only just begun.

NEVER FORGET that Trump DECLINED Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro’s offer of a dominant stake in Venezuela’s oil, gold, and mineral wealth along with agreeing to cut ties with Russia and China.

Trump instead sent 10,000+ troops and 10% of the entire U.S. Navy to the region.

Starting on July 4th, every newborn in America will have their own “Trump Account” opened and seeded with $1,000.

Trump says that any country suspected of trafficking drugs to the United States is “subject to attack… not just Venezuela”.

President Trump effectively announces that Kevin Hassett will be the next Fed Chair.

2026 is going to be a wild year.
