LAGOS IS NOT YORUBA. STOP THE LIE. If we are talking REGIONALISM, Lagos should NEVER be lumped into South-West.

LAGOS IS NOT YORUBA. STOP THE LIE.

If we are talking REGIONALISM, Lagos should NEVER be lumped into South-West.

History is clear:

1. WE ARE AWORI, NOT YORUBA.

The first settlers of Lagos were AWORI — children of Olofin at Iddo. We came through Benin. Our language is not Yoruba, it's Awori with Bini mixture.

2. EKO IS A BENIN WAR CAMP.

Eko means War Camp in Edo language. Benin warriors conquered it in the 16th century. Our Oba dynasty starts from Ashipa, a Benin prince. That is why we have Idumota, Idunmagbo, Enu Owa, Iduganran — all BINI names. When our Obas died, they were taken to Benin for burial. Which Yoruba town does that?

3. LAGOS WAS NEVER PART OF WEST.

1861 — Lagos became a separate British COLONY.

1954 — Lyttleton Constitution created the West, the North, the East, and made LAGOS a Federal Territory on its own.

We were never part of Western Region. Awolowo knew it. The British knew it.

We speak Yoruba because we are surrounded by them, but speaking Yoruba does NOT make us Yoruba.

Lagos is Eko — Awori and Bini heritage. In any regional arrangement, Lagos must stand alone.

The Oyo State Police Command has advised policemen from Kwara State who were in Ibadan to arrest a suspect to go back to their base.

The command advised the complainant to approach the appropriate court in Ibadan, being the alleged place where the offence was committed.

The command noted that due process must be followed before a suspect could be arrested.

Commissioner of Police Abimbola Olugbenga made these declarations via a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the command, Olayinka Ayanlade.

The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday evening.

DAILY POST gathered that some policemen from Kwara State made an attempt to arrest a suspect identified as Mr. Tani Olohun in Ibadan on Tuesday.

It was learnt that the attempt to arrest the suspect by the policemen was resisted.

Olugbenga, in the statement made available to DAILY POST through Ayanlade, noted that the policemen from Kwara State had been advised to go back to their base.

He also advised the complainant to approach the appropriate court in Ibadan.

He added that Ibadan is the place where the offence was allegedly committed.

“The attention of the Oyo State Police Command has been drawn to a video circulating on social media concerning some officers of the Kwara State Police Command who were in Ibadan on official duty to effect the arrest of one Mr Tani Olohun.

“Upon receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, directed the officers to return to their base and advise the complainant to approach the appropriate court in Ibadan, being the alleged place where the offence was committed, in accordance with due process and the principles of territorial jurisdiction.”

Bandits: They Invaded 101 Battalion, Blocked Road From Kainji To Wawa, Security Wasted Them-Dantata

Bandits: They Invaded 101 Battalion, Blocked Road From Kainji To Wawa, Security Wasted Them-Dantata

Security expert Salihu Dantata has recalled how security forces successfully thwarted an alleged attempt by non-state actors to attack military formations after intelligence was gathered on the planned operation.

Dantata made the disclosure during an interview on Arise News on Thursday, August 27, 2026, while discussing the importance of intelligence gathering and the ability of security agencies to respond to threats before they escalate.

He said the security forces had, some years ago, received intelligence that non-state actors were threatening to invade the cantonment of 101 Battalion and the 221 Air Weapons School. According to him, the attackers subsequently blocked the road linking Kainji and Wawa but were confronted by security personnel who had been alerted in advance.

“Even though I will give credit to them some years back when some of the non State actors threatened to invade the cantonment of 101 battalion and 221 Air weapon school, they blocked the road from Kainji to Wawa. At the time they came, they wasted them. That is the security forces wasted then due to Intel gathered.”

The security expert said the incident demonstrated how timely intelligence could give security forces an advantage over groups planning attacks on military or civilian targets.

Dantata’s comments came as he highlighted the need for stronger intelligence networks and improved cooperation between communities and security agencies in addressing Nigeria’s security challenges.

Okin biscuit announces production after 17-year shutdown

Okin biscuit announces production after 17-year shutdown

tribuneonlineng.com19 hours ago

Okin Biscuits has announced its production after 17 years, with biscuits rolling off one of its rehabilitated production lines at its factory in Offa, Kwara State.

The company announced the development in a Facebook post on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, describing it as a major milestone in its efforts to revive the brand.

“After 17 years… the line runs again,” the company said.

According to Okin Biscuits, the production line had to be rebuilt after cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors and other electronic components were stolen.

The company explained that the first production was a technical trial run and not a product trial, adding that the exercise was aimed at determining whether the production line could be brought back to life after years of inactivity.

“At this stage, we were not concerned about colour, appearance or achieving the final Okin recipe. The objective was simple: Can we bring this line, silent for 17 years, back to life? And we did!” it said.

Okin Biscuits also announced that the factory was officially connected to a 33kVA Band A electricity grid by the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC).

The company, however, said more testing, calibration and rehabilitation are still required before its biscuits return to the market.

It added that efforts were ongoing to restore the familiar Okin taste and quality.

Nigeria can still qualify for 2027 Women’s World Cup

Nigeria can still qualify for 2027 Women’s World Cup – here’s how

Ashley Plumptre scores first Falcon's goal, seals WAFCON qualification

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have lost their automatic route to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

The defeat means Nigeria will not be among the four African teams that qualify directly for the tournament in Brazil.

However, the Super Falcons are not out of the 2027 World Cup race.

Nigeria still have another route available through the African play-offs and the FIFA inter-confederation play-off tournament.

Here is how the Super Falcons can still make it to Brazil.

Nigeria must first win the African play-off

The four teams that lose their WAFCON quarter-final matches will enter a separate play-off competition for Africa’s remaining World Cup opportunities.

The four defeated quarter-finalists will battle for two places in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 Play-Off Tournament.

This means Nigeria must win their African play-off match to remain in contention.

A defeat at this stage would end the Super Falcons’ hopes of reaching the 2027 World Cup.

What happens after the African play-off?

If Nigeria win their African play-off, they will become one of CAF’s two representatives at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 Play-Off Tournament.

FIFA has allocated four direct World Cup places and two play-off places to CAF for the 2027 tournament.

The two African teams that emerge from the WAFCON play-offs will join teams from other confederations in the global play-off tournament.

Nigeria would then have to fight through the inter-confederation play-offs

The FIFA Play-Off Tournament will feature 10 teams competing for the final three World Cup places.

The first phase will involve six teams: two from CAF, two from AFC, one from CONMEBOL and one from OFC.

According to FIFA, the six teams will be ranked before the draw, with the top two progressing directly to the final phase. The other four will compete for the remaining places in that phase.

The final phase will feature six teams divided into three paths. Each path will be decided by a knockout match, with the three winners securing the final three tickets to the 2027 Women’s World Cup

It Is Time For Us To Completely End The Islamic Republic and Tear Down Their Terrible Govt- Hansen

It Is Time For Us To Completely End The Islamic Republic and Tear Down Their Terrible Govt- Hansen

Army Special Forces veteran Jim Hansen has suggested that regime change in Iran could become an option for US President Donald Trump as Tehran’s economy continues to face serious pressure.

Hansen made the comments in a video posted by Fox News on Sunday, August 9, 2026, while discussing a Wall Street Journal report that Iran believes it can outlast Trump by creating economic difficulties for the United States ahead of the midterm elections.

According to Hansen, there is some truth to the argument that Trump would want to avoid further instability in the Middle East that could affect oil markets before Republicans defend their control of Congress.

However, he said the situation did not necessarily mean Iran would achieve its objectives, suggesting that Washington could still consider other options as the political situation develops.

“The one thing that hasn't been said out loud is maybe it's time for the Iranian regime to end,” Hansen said, while discussing the future of the Islamic Republic.

Hansen further argued that the Islamic Republic had been a problem for Iran since 1979 and said the Iranian people should have the opportunity to have what he described as a better government.

He said Trump could have greater freedom to consider different options after the midterm elections, when the president would no longer have to manage political considerations linked to the electoral process.

The former Army Special Forces veteran also discussed Iran’s position on the Strait of Hormuz, saying Tehran had considered charging fees on vessels passing through the strategic waterway and sharing the proceeds with Oman.

Hansen said the Trump administration was firmly opposed to such an arrangement, amid the wider dispute between Washington and Tehran over the strategic waterway and regional security.

He also pointed to the condition of Iran’s economy, citing an International Monetary Fund estimate of 70 percent inflation. Hansen said the economic pressure was placing Iran’s leadership in a difficult position as tensions with the United States continued.
