The greatest weapon in the arsenal of hope is tomorrow. Tomorrow will always show up. Tomorrow means there is hope: hope means there is tomorrow. God wins.

Everyone has hopes but few back up their hopes with plans. This is what separates the rich from the poor and the excellent from the mediocre.

It is inconceivable that the same men who destroyed our nation have now metamorphosed into latter day saints. They can change parties but they can’t change their past. They can resurrect their political careers but they can’t resurrect those who have died needlessly under their leadership. They can form mergers but they can’t merge the living and the dead.

Amnesty International has described the killing of at least 51 people in Plateau State as an inexcusable security failure, calling for urgent investigations into the recurring violence that continues to claim innocent lives.

Responding to the attack, Isa Sanusi, Director of Amnesty International Nigeria, said, “Amnesty International strongly condemns the killing of at least 51 people between 12:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. last night when gunmen invaded Zikke village of Bassa LGA, Plateau State. Along the way, the gunmen also razed villages and looted homes, destroying everything in their path.”

“Many of the victims of last night’s deadly attack who could not run — including children and the elderly — were slaughtered and left in pools of blood. The inexcusable security lapses that enabled these horrific attacks, two weeks after the killing of 52 people, must be investigated.”

“Issuing bland statements condemning these horrific attacks is not enough. A genuine commitment to protecting the people must be demonstrated by ensuring adequate security of lives and property, as well as ensuring justice for the victims. The consistent failure of the authorities to bring the actual suspected perpetrators to justice is emboldening impunity.”

“While President Bola Tinubu claims his government is implementing new security measures to address the rising insecurity in the country, the recent attacks in Plateau State show that whatever security measures have been implemented are not working.”

“In Plateau State, from December 2023 to February 2024, at least 1,336 people were killed. Of those killed, 533 were women, 263 were children and 540 were men. Over 29,554 people were displaced, out of which 13,093 were children and 16,461 were women.”

“The patterns of recent deadly attacks on the rural areas of Plateau State clearly show the Nigerian authorities have left these communities at the mercy of rampaging gunmen. Nigerian authorities’ failure to tame the tide of this horrific violence is costing people their lives and livelihoods, and without immediate action, many more lives may be lost.”

The biggest challenge mankind faces is that most of us are operating without an owner’s manual. We have never seen one and we don’t care to see or own one. Google or Ai is our owner’s manual.

That my lips may always speak healing and my words a balm to my nation. For if perchance I might have healed one broken heart, my purpose on earth is fulfilled.

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has not been sacked as speculated recently in some quarters of the media.

Professor Yakubu, who is the current Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), was seen superintending the regular weekly meeting at the INEC headquarters, Maitama, Abuja, on Tuesday.

Recently, there were rumours on almost all the social media that Professor Mahmood Yakubu was sacked by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and replaced with Professor Bashiru Olamilekan, but Tuesday’s event with picture of the Chairman presiding over the meeting put to rest the rumours.

Legendary football coach could be in trouble again after grabbing the nose of the Galatasaray manager at the end of another fiery Istanbul derby in which his SIDE lost 2-1 at home in the Turkish Cup quarter-final on Wednesday.

However, the game was overshadowed by a chaotic display triggered by Mourinho that saw three players – Fenerbahçe’s Mert Yandaş and Galatasaray’s Kerem Demirbay and Barış Yılmaz – sent off.

Towards the end of the game, Mourinho clashed with Buruk as he made his way onto the pitch. The Portuguese coach was then seen pinching his counterpart’s nose.

Buruk fell to the floor clutching his nose and face as players from both sides rushed in. The ugly scene led to the three red cards just before the second-half stoppage time.

Mourinho was subsequently pulled away from the scene by a member of his coaching staff.
