Maryam Murtala, Dying Wasn’t Part of the Script! Some people come into your life and, almost instantly, you become inseparable because you share the same values, vision and purpose. They become the magnet to the metal that you are. Maryam was that magnet. She brought people together under one purpose, one agenda and one mission. She carried an uncanny energy and an uncommon commitment to humanity, Nigeria and Nigerians in Canada. Maryam, we were in the middle of writing and rewriting so many scripts for humanity and for our country. You had so much on the burner—plans that would have advanced the Nigerian cause in Canada and rewritten the narrative of Nigeria, using your political and media capital without regard to tribe or religion. You saw humanity, not individual faces. Your death has emptied me. After my father's death in 2009, I thought I had conquered the tears that come with losing someone you love. I have lost many people since then, but Maryam, your death hit differently. Seeing your lifeless body at the hospital broke something inside me. I called your name. I spoke to you. I honestly believed you blinked, as if to tell me you heard me. I asked the policemen attached to your room when you would get up. They told me you were gone forever. I argued with them: “But she blinked!” Maryam, you were not supposed to leave us like this. During the just-concluded Nigerians in Diaspora Economic Conference, you held everything together, just as you always did. I remember it was around 2 a.m. on the opening day when we were looking for additional hotels for delegates. I asked you to go home and rest. You refused. You said you would not let me do it alone—and yet, you were back at the venue by 7 a.m. That was Maryam: energy, sacrifice and commitment. abikedabiri had a great friend and dependable ally in you. The Nigerian community had a leader. The City of Brampton and its leadership had a trusted bridge to the Nigerian community. You understood how to connect people, institutions and political leadership. You once told me, “Bayo, you need to have a political base in Canada for stronger political visibility in Nigeria. Let's work on that.” And true to your word, you began taking me around Canada's political system. We were supposed to meet at Mayor Patrick Brown's re-election campaign flag-off. I couldn't make it. Today, I deeply regret that. We had a script that had barely begun. Now, that script has been abruptly rewritten by death. Nigeria has lost a rare patriot. Maryam was at the forefront of giving Nigeria much-needed intergovernmental visibility through her political advocacy. We were supposed to be in Ottawa in October, working on the Nigerian Heritage House project that you had invested so much of yourself in. You believed that project could change so many things for your fatherland. And now I ask: Where do we go from here, Maryam? You left with so many projects still on the table, so many plans unfinished and so many dreams waiting to become reality. But perhaps Allah had already completed His own project for you. Who are we to question God? Maryam, no one can fill the vacuum your death has created. No one comes close. Wale Rabiu, Egbon Akin Oduntan, Dr. Terab and the entire NiDEC group are still in shock. We will try to carry on, but without you, it will never be the same—and it will not be easy. Rest on, M.M. You were not supposed to die. Dying wasn't part of the script. But Allah has written the final chapter. May He grant you Al-Jannah Firdaus and give all of us the strength to continue the work you left behind. Rest well, my sister, my friend, my partner in purpose. Nigerians in Diaspora Commission

IPOB’s Destabilization Agenda: Nigerian Government Should Act Fast and Decisively Too! The recent attempt by Nnamdi Kanu and his legal team to draw international sympathy through a letter addressed to U.S. President Donald Trump is another desperate move to blackmail Nigeria and distort the truth. This ploy, couched under the guise of alleged “Christian persecution,” is a calculated propaganda effort meant to shield Kanu from accountability for his well-documented crimes against the Nigerian state and its people. This latest push is a glaring reality that Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB are behind the noise of a "Christian Genocide" in Nigeria. This is an attempt to undermine the sovereignty of the Nigerian state and forment chaos of international dimension. It is crucial to remind the global community that Nnamdi Kanu is not a prisoner of conscience but a man who jumped bail after being granted temporary freedom by a competent Nigerian court. Instead of submitting himself to the judicial process, he fled the country and used his time in exile to inflame division, hatred, and violence against the Nigerian state. One should ask Nnamdi Kanu if the lives IPOB that he leads wasted in the South East do not matter, these were Christians. During his time abroad, Kanu made numerous broadcasts inciting his followers to attack and kill Nigerian government officials, security agents, and innocent citizens who disagreed with his extremist ideology. His messages were not calls for peaceful self-determination; they were open invitations to anarchy and bloodshed. In one particularly dangerous broadcast around October 20, 2020, during the EndSARS protests, Kanu explicitly ordered the destruction of Lagos State—a city that serves as Nigeria’s economic heartbeat and home to millions of citizens from all tribes and religions. In that same broadcast, he went further, ordering his followers to locate and kill Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was then a private citizen and is now the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. These are not the actions of a freedom fighter—they are the acts of a man pursuing chaos under the false banner of liberation. It must also be emphasized that Kanu’s trial began under the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari and has continued lawfully under successive governments. His detention and trial are rooted in due process and constitutional procedure. He is undergoing a valid trial before competent Nigerian courts, yet he and his legal team have persistently refused to open their defence, choosing instead to manipulate international opinion and stall justice. It is instructive at this point the need for the Attorney General of Nigeria must as a matter of urgency report the legal team of Nnamdi Kanu to the Ethics Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association. It is on record that when the one of his lawyers was supposed to be preparing open their defence, he was seen protesting on October 20, 2025 for the release of his client an action that the legal profession frowns at. Let's ask a question, can an American lawyer conduct himself the way Mr. Ejimakor has been conducting himself? Even more telling is that Nnamdi Kanu himself, inside the courtroom, confessed to committing the crimes for which he is being tried, claiming in a video-recorded moment that the offences were committed in the United Kingdom. This alone exposes the hypocrisy in his current attempt to paint himself as a victim rather than the perpetrator he is. Furthermore, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)—the organization Kanu leads—is a designated terrorist group under Nigerian law. IPOB has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent citizens in the South-East region through brutal attacks on civilians, security operatives, and public infrastructure. The group’s reign of terror has left a trail of destruction, grief, and economic stagnation across a region once known for its peace and industry.
