Scary VIDEO: North West’s Porous Forest Routes Fueling Banditry and Terrorist Movement The vast forest reserves crisscrossing Nigeria’s North West have become major security liabilities, offering criminals, insurgents and bandits unpoliced highways across multiple states. Security analysts trace a troubling chain of interconnected forests that stretch seamlessly from Katsina State through Kaduna, Niger, Zamfara and Sokoto. At the centre of this network is the Rugu Forest in Katsina, which links directly to Rijana in Kaduna. From there, armed groups easily exploit the forest corridor into Southern Kaduna, and further southward into Kontagora in Niger State. The same stretch extends westward into Makuku forest, then runs through Daki Takwas, Gandu (Dan Sadau axis), Anka and Mayanchi, until it reaches Bana forest in Mafara (Zamfara State). This porous forest belt ultimately empties into Gundumi forest in Eastern Sokoto State, creating one of the most extensive hideouts for non-state armed groups in the region. For years, security agencies have struggled to contain the mobility advantage that terrorists enjoy from this natural cover. The absence of permanent surveillance, combined with the sheer size and density of the terrain, makes the forests a ready sanctuary for staging attacks, retreating with hostages, and moving weapons. Unless Nigeria adopts a joint inter-state security architecture, the terrorists will continue to exploit these corridors. A coordinated strategy combining air surveillance, forest patrols, and intelligence-sharing among the affected states is seen as the only way to break the chain of criminal mobility. The North West, long plagued by cattle rustling, kidnapping-for-ransom, and rural banditry, is now under threat of becoming a permanent corridor of instability stretching from Katsina to Sokoto, Zamfara,Kebbi, Kaduna, and spilling into Niger State.

Harit Maharashtra, Samruddha Maharashtra leads Gadchiroli's green turn! Planted a sapling in Gadchiroli today, marking the launch of 'Harit Maharashtra, Samruddha Maharashtra', A campaign to plant 1 crore trees in the district. This is more than a plantation drive; it’s a commitment to preserving nature while driving development rooted in sustainability. Gadchiroli, with its rich forest cover, plays a key role in maintaining Maharashtra’s ecological balance. Between 2014 and 2019, 50 crore trees were planted across the State. As per the 2019 Green Cover Report by the Central Government, Maharashtra was the only State to record an actual increase in forest cover, a result of collective effort and strong public participation. Building on that success, 11 crore trees will be planted this year and 25 crore next year. In Gadchiroli, 40 lakh saplings are being planted this year and 60 lakh more next year. Saplings have been sourced from Rajahmundry and local nurseries are being nurtured to grow saplings of the same strength and standard, rooted in the region and ready for the future. Each tree will be geo-tagged and tracked, and officers have come forward to adopt saplings, turning this into a people-led movement to make Gadchiroli the greenest district. Alongside this, a meaningful step toward social inclusion was taken today as 23 youth from Naxal-affected families were directly recruited into the police force. 2 of them received their appointment letters during the programme, serving as powerful symbols of trust regained, transformation embraced and new beginnings forged Gadchiroli is moving ahead. Villages have rejected Maoism and embraced peace, the Constitution, and democracy. The path to violence leads nowhere; the path to growth is open to all. This is a journey rooted in harmony, where growth meets greenery, and every step forward carries dignity, opportunity, and inclusion for all. MoS Adv Ashish Jaiswal, MLC Parinay Fuke, MLA Dr Milind Narote, MLA Dharamrao Baba Atram and other dignitaries were present.

Whilst it’s sad to see, we’re used to newly planted saplings or individual street trees dying from lack of water. I don’t think we’re prepared for the shock of seeing our precious native deciduous woodlands around our dying as a result of drought though. This weekend I was in a native woodland in Norfolk, and saw whole areas of the forest where trees were in a bad way. Many of the trees had clearly run out of water, with their leaves brown, crispy & burnt. Some trees are likely to die from this drought, many more if droughts keep happening. Will we just standby & watch our forest & ancient woodlands die? We need immediate action on the ultimate cause of climate change of course. But given that extreme heat & drought is already here, we need to urgently put together a strategy to enable our forests to adapt to the changing climate as far as they are able to. Obvious things to do include restoring ancient woodlands to health by removing invasive species like rhododendron & cherry laurel; getting rid of non-native pine plantations & replacing with native trees that are more drought tolerant; blocking up drainage & creating ponds & swales so that woodlands retain water; expanding woodlands & creating buffer zones around them. These are just a few ideas: more than anything, we need government to listen to tree experts, come up with a proper plan & then have the will to implement that plan as a matter of national importance. Without this, we may lose much of our ancient woodland in our lifetime.

#whyilovekenya The Marsabit you never see, today allow me to share a rare clip of dense Marsabit Forest home to two crater lakes . Kenya is such a diverse nation , we should count ourselves very lucky. Lake paradise is also where Marsabit Lodge is located ( sadly it has been closed for years). It's about time that this lodge or where the lodge sits found a serious investor. The lodge sits on the rim of the lake. Spot it in the first crater lake on extreme right. All the rooms would face the lake. This can host a safari lodge with meeting rooms while the 2nd lake can host upmarket boutique safari lodge. Kenya Tourism Board KAHC Kenya NゲージのKATO Marsabit forest is also home to Ahmed one of the biggest call him giant Tusker Elephant to have ever lived. The first and only Elephant or animal that was given presidential protection in the 70s. Well the remains of Ahmed is preserved at the Nairobi National Museums. Kenya is serious about conservation. Marabit forest is home to elephants , Leopard, buffaloes, Hyenas and over 280 bird species. Thank you Kenya Wildlife Service. Kenya Wildlife Service CS Rebecca Miano, EGH Silvia Museiya, CBS for all the harwork in preserving this rare gem. A big thanks to local community my people for looking after this forest. Its about time that the local community got a share from carbon credit because this is a huge forest . Hon. Aden Duale, EGH Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry Kenya Forest Service Bee keeping on the periphery is also sustainable. The Hive Group Chris and your team we need you here. Cutting trees for charcoal is the most idiotic invention by man, its never sustainable. Larger Marsabit County is also home to many communities diverse communities and notable features are the singing wells of Marsabit . Gov Mohamud M. Ali, EGH Marsabit County Before I forget Marsabit also shares Lake Turkana with Turkana County and of course we have our very ownChalbi desert. Well yours truly grew up on the slopes of this forest and every friday afternoon as young boys we would head deep into the forest to swim in one man made dam that was named 50 deep. Life was good Alhamdulilah As always I choose to remain an optimist as I share the beautiful sights of Marsabit forest . Sound track is from one of our own Borana legend singer Abdullahi Jirma.

Bill Nye “The Science Guy” said on CNN this morning that forest fires never used to happen in the Carolinas until now. 🗨️ “There's forest fires, wildfires in the Carolinas—that didn't used to be a thing, everybody.” That sounds scary. 😱 Big, if true. But, had Nye done any actual research, he might be aware that his DNC talking points don't quite square with the facts. 🔎📖 The South Carolina South Carolina Forestry Commission (SCFC) has a wealth of information on their website. 💻 🔥 Based on the last 30 years of data, ~3,000 fires break out in South Carolina each year. 🌲 About 18,000 acres are set ablaze annually. 🪵 229,908 acres of land burned in 1950 alone, the most in a single calendar year in the Palmetto state. Of the top 10 years with the most fire burn acreage, nine of them were prior to 1970 and seven of them were at least 70 years ago. 📉 Annual fire burn acreage has decreased by 72.5% (1950-79 vs. 1994-2023). Any emergent climate signal is masked by interannual variability and increased fire suppression in the area. 🔗 🔗 The largest [official] fire on record in South Carolina was the Clear Pond Fire of April 10-15, 1976. It began as an unattended campfire between Conway and Myrtle Beach, and ended up burning 30,000 acres of land in Horry County in the span of five days. For perspective, the current blaze has burned 1,600 acres. 🔗 An even larger fire occurred in mid-February 1898. It seared through an estimated three million acres that stretched from Aiken County, South Carolina to Chatham County, North Carolina, and killed at least 14 people in its path. 🔗 🔗 Bill Nye has no clue what he's talking about. He's just making stuff up and the CNN “journalists” nod in blind agreement.

I am not sure if your post was in reference to my earlier post that sparked diverse reactions and interpretations. As someone who respects your views, I feel compelled to offer this clarification, especially given your position and your caliber as a key stakeholder in national and public discourse. I want to state unequivocally that the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP) was never a fraud. Instead, it stood out as one of the most ambitious, impactful and arguably most successful agricultural initiatives in the history of our country. The programme was designed with the noble intention of supporting smallholder farmers, to boost local food production, reduce our reliance on imports and ultimately achieve food security. Even in my earlier post, I did not suggest that the programme was a failure or fraudulent. What I did acknowledge, however, is the undeniable fact that the ABP, like many large-scale interventions, was unfortunately abused by a few bad elements, individuals who either diverted the funds to unrelated ventures or deliberately hoarded their harvests to exploit price hikes and maximize personal profit at the expense of national interest. Those who still deny this reality are simply not being honest with themselves, though, of course, they are well within their rights to hold a contrary opinion. That said, it is equally important to recognize and celebrate the thousands of honest and hardworking farmers who embraced the Programme in its true spirit. (May Allah (SWT) bless them.) Their efforts helped this country, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. They fed this nation, stabilized the economy and sustained local markets when global supply chains were disrupted. So, to say that I dismissed the entire success of the Programme because of the mention of few bad elements who abused the system was truly unfair. As for the current policy on food import waivers, while the government is in the best position to assess and act, I still believe, as I mentioned in my post, that importing food to stabilize prices can be a necessary short-term measure. However, for the long-term strategy, reviving and strictly monitoring agricultural interventions remains our best way forward. The video I attached to in this post was recorded by Madam Lauretta Onochie Lauretta Onochie in February 2022. It showcased just a fraction of the visible success of the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme.

An Ancient Pattern, Repeating in a Modern Costume “There is nothing new under the sun.” — Ecclesiastes 1:9 From Pharaoh’s magicians.. to Judas and the Sanhedrin.. to medieval indulgence sellers.. to modern financial engineering.. The pattern is always the same: 1 A scarce asset emerges that reorders power. 2 Incumbent elites recognize the threat before the public does. 3 Law is weaponized, not to protect justice, but to manufacture permission. 4 Narratives are inverted: owners become “wrongdoers,” predators become “stewards.” 5 Official channels provide moral cover while assets quietly change hands. This is not conspiracy. This is history. The Timeless Tactic: Law as a Weapon, Not a Shield Law, when severed from moral truth, becomes the most effective weapon ever created. Why? Because: It appears righteous It intimidates the uninformed It grants plausible deniability It transfers property without visible violence Under common law and divine law alike, law exists to protect property and consent. When law is used to redefine ownership rather than defend it, fraud has already entered, even if no court ever names it. The “Official Narrative” Problem Here’s where discernment matters most. Official channels don’t exist to reveal truth. They exist to establish legitimacy. That legitimacy is often created by: • Procedural complexity • Credentialed authority • Media repetition • Silence of dissent through cost & fear History is merciless on this point: • Jesus was executed with full legal process • Slavery was upheld by courts and statutes • Banking panics were “lawful” • Asset seizures have always been “court approved” Legality has never equaled morality. Why “Cover Stories” Are Always Necessary If the underlying action were just, no cover story would be required. Cover stories emerge when: • Property must be transferred without consent • Time is needed to suppress clarity • Complexity is required to exhaust resistance • The public must be told “this is for your protection” This is why modern financial disputes are never simple. Simplicity reveals intent. Complexity conceals motive. The Strategic Gravity of Ripple Let’s state a plain, observable fact: The infrastructure Ripple is building sits at the center of the next global financial architecture. That makes proximity to it strategically priceless. In every era: • Those closest to new rails of power accumulate first • They do so before clarity arrives • And often during confusion This is not unique to crypto. It happened with railroads, oil, telecom, the internet, and central banking. Discernment asks not “Who said what?” But “Who benefits from delay, dilution, fear, or forced restructuring?” The Inversion Principle (How Fraud Hides in Plain Sight) One of the oldest tricks: • Owners are reframed as risks • Consent is reframed as obstruction • Seizure is reframed as stabilization • Silence is reframed as compliance Christ warned us directly: “They will put you out of the synagogue; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” — John 16:2 In modern terms: Those who do harm will sincerely claim righteousness - backed by institutions. Why Discernment Must Override Reporting Reporting shows what is said. Discernment reveals what is happening. Discernment asks: • Are property rights preserved? • Is consent honored? • Are incentives aligned with stated goals? • Does the process clarify… or obscure? The Closing Truth We don’t need to accuse anyone We don’t need secret evidence We don’t need insider leaks We only need this immutable test: Truth simplifies. Fraud complicates. Justice clarifies. Theft obscures. That law can be abused is not controversial. That powerful actors do so is not rare. That official narratives often serve as cover is not new. What’s rare is a people willing to see clearly, speak carefully, and refuse to confuse legality with righteousness Linqto
