Musa is Coming, Trump is Watching
Festus Adedayo
He who finds favour of the world is without blemish in its eyes. “Eni ayé ńfé ò l’árùn kan l’ára”. That was a verdict given close to five decades ago by my musical idol, lord of Apala genre of Yoruba traditional music, Ayinla Omowura. This verdict of his came in one of his songs after a self-assessment of his personal existential uplift. The bard must have wondered at his transmutation from the rung of societal ladder to a place of reckoning in the commanding height of society, especially in Yoruba popular culture. Stardom replaced outlawry, wealth came in place of lack and celebration came for a man whose song was considered to be the preoccupation of dregs of society. General Christopher Musa, the new Minister of Defence, epitomizes that transformation. In less than three weeks of leaving the saddle as Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and being appointed as minister, adulation and commendations have gushed like a broken cistern for Musa and his appointor, President Bola Tinubu.
The aggregate of opinions on the street of Nigeria is that this was Tinubu’s best appointment thus far. But, what happened? How did a man who appointed, as minister of defence and minister of state for defence, two men perceived to be enablers “agbódegbà”(s) of bandits and terrorists suddenly meander into appointing another man who, by popular belief, is the best suited for the job, as minister of defence? What happened? How did that same appointor, whose judgment chose Musa, choose Mahmood Yakubu, who supervised his election, as ambassador-designate?
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, a renowned fawner of the seat of power, provided an answer last week. At the swearing-in of Musa, when Sani Musa, senator representing Niger East, gave the sycophantic proposal that Musa be made to “bow and go”, Akpabio’s fury was unexampled. For the first time in his groveling senate presidency, Akpabio was so miffed that he stood up while wedging home his point. Not even when his senator colleague alleged sexual harassment did he show that level of anger. “Even Donald Trump is on our neck… and you stand up and say he should take a bow … with over 200 Nigerian children in the bush kidnapped and being tortured?” the senate president spat.
For Akpabio, even when a dog exhibits signs of malady, it dares not jump inside a scalding fire. Trump is watching. Not only did that senatorial outburst encapsulate the about-turn from the papering-over of insecurity that Nigerians have witnessed in the last 30 months of this administration, it explains the choice of Musa. So, there is indeed an innate walzing, dancing steps inside the cripple?
Permit me to digress a bit to explain this Trump phenomenon. If the grave indulges the sacrilege of flowing tears of dead patriots, decayed skulls of African anti-colonial ancestors must be shedding tears at the moment. Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde’s Amílcar Cabral. Guinea’s Ahmed Sékou Touré. Mozambique’s Samora Machel. Zambia’s Kenneth Kaunda. Ethiopia’s Menelik II. Democratic Republic of Congo’s Patrice Lumumba. Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta. Tanzania’s Julius Nyerere. South Africa’s Nelson Mandela. Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah. Nigeria’s Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti. Kenya’s Mekatilili Wa Menza. Bibi Titi Mohamed of Tanzania. And many more. If you watched the December 4 peace meeting between DRC’s Felix Tshisekedi and Rwanda’s Paul Kagame at the newly renamed Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace building in Washington, DC, with petulant American president, Donald Trump, making sophisticated jokes of these African countries’ buffoonery, you could not but notice the droplets of tears down the chins of these African ancestors.
Earlier, Donald Trump had picked on our brothers in Somalia. “I don’t want them in my country,” Trump had begun, in his no-smiling vile attack, “Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks.” In an earlier repeated obnoxious attacks on South Africa, ostensibly borne out of his impulsive bellicose character, Trump repeatedly maintained that there is a white “genocide” unfolding in Cyril Ramaphosa’s country. Following this same trope of Africa-denigration, in the last three weeks or so, Nigeria has been a berthing bay for Trump to moor his querulous boat. Early last month, in a video he posted on his Truth Social, he had promised to “do things to Nigeria that Nigeria is not going to be happy about” as he would “go into that now-disgraced country guns-a-blazing”.
In July, the grumpy Trump had invited select African leaders to a three-day summit in Washington DC. White House referred to the summit, which had presidents of Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal, as an “incredible” commercial opportunity.” All the invited African leaders’ countries possess important minerals like gold, oil, manganese, gas, wood and zircon in the bellies of their earths. At a televised lunch meeting with the African leaders, each of them festooned Trump with obsequious praise-singing. While Mohamed Ould Ghazouani of Mauritania lauded him for his “peace-making” evangelism in Africa, Senegal’s Bassirou Diomaye Faye commended his golf skills.
In D.C. last week, as Tshisekedi and Kagame sat, while he bungled their names in a mis-pronunciation orgy, Trump cracked grisly jokes at them for “killing each other”. He was before a rancorous audience which ostensibly enjoyed how he made a fool of these presidents. “Some people may be surprised. I think they’ve spent a lot of time killing each other and now they’re going to spend a lot of time hugging, holding hands and taking advantage of the United States of America economically, like every other country does.” The takeaways were “killing each other”, “taking advantage of the United States of America economically”, and, “like every other country does”. Construct an image in your mind’s eye of a daddy holding his child’s teddy bear and urging the child to walk. Not satisfied with that seemingly harmless jab, Trump then said, smiling, in what was obviously a pun, “Look at them. Look at the way they love each other.”
Indeed, the two African leaders have made sport of killing each other. Embroiled in decades-long conflict which began in the 1990s, they have fought two major regional wars which took place in 1996 and 2003, leaving millions of their people dead. Preceded by the brutal Rwandan genocide of 1994, with no less than one million people killed, that event became a precursor for the 1996-1997 war between the two countries. In this war, which was kindled by a Laurent-Désiré Kabila-led Rwandan and Ugandan-backed rebel force which overthrew Mobutu Sese Seko’s, the casualty estimate was about 250,000 souls. In the second war, nicknamed “Africa’s World War,” this conflict grossed death toll of 5.4 million people who died mainly from preventable causes like disease and starvation. In this recent conflict said to have begun in 2003, persistent violence, which ravaged Eastern Congo, birthed the M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda and various armed groups. In total, about 5.4m people are estimated to have died in the conflict, earning it the unflattering cognomen of the deadliest conflict worldwide since World War II.
In March 2020, a few years before it fell into the hands of the M23 rebels, I was in Goma. By the way, Congo is reputed with huge reserves of cobalt, gold, gems, copper, timber, and uranium, the hugest in the world. Its most valuable resource is its large reserve of diamonds. Indeed, the Congo has world’s second-largest diamond reserves, at 150Mct, or 20.5% of the global total. Substantial diamond reserves can be found in Kasai Occidental and Kasai Oriental. Then known as the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908, it was the personal estate of Leopold II, who was the second King of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909. Leopold was known to have founded and was the sole owner of the Free State which he administered as a private estate, ran by a surrogate called Henry Morton Stanley. After the “peace meeting” facts emerged that America had made a go for DRC and Rwandan precious stones.
But, Frantz Fannon predicted all these. In his Black Skin, White Masks, (1952) a historical critique of the complex ways in which identity, particularly Blackness, impacts on the African and the way it is constructed and produced, Fannon dissected the feelings of dependency on white-skin persons, as well as our feeling of inadequacy in our black skin, what he called “psychopathology” of inferiority complex of the African.
So, there is no doubt that Donald Trump’s threat is strategically reshaping the minds of our leaders. And for good. Which is both lamentable and commendable. Lamentable as per the facts I stated overleaf but commendable because, though the Nigerian presidency, in answering the archetypal Frantz Fannon’s ‘Black Skin, White Mask’, has buckled up due to Trump’s bullying tirades. If we didn’t have that white-skin democratic demon, Trump, threatening to apply the Venezuelan treatment against our president, we would most likely continue to have dross as anti-insecurity leadership.
Last week, the 19 Northern governors also became the Black Skin, White Masks. Perceiving the Trump fire to have crept up the mountain, it suddenly occurred to these governors that they could not continue to breathe region and religion while their their own rebellious children who have morphed to become terrorists, bandits and kidnappers, kill in hundreds. A pledge to contribute N1b each monthly towards demonstrating to Trump that they are not chummy with terrorism is a huge elephant to swallow. Akpabio too also immediately became a Black Skin, White Mask. But for Trump, he would have continued in his boot-licking sycophancy. And the president would have continued to vicariously abet terrorists by being politically right in his choice of sensitive appointees, and failing to name and shame terrorism financiers.
If there is any public officer today no one must envy, General Musa is. One is that he carries a huge-monster responsibility on his head. When there is a unanimous adulation for you, the type the retired General has harvested across board in Nigeria in the last one week, any right-thinking person should be afraid. First is that the land he steps upon is very slippery. Though he partakes in the encomium of Musa’s discovery and identification, Musa’s appointment commendations expose the president as hitherto self-serving. How could the same pot that cooked Musa be the same that cooked Badaru and Matawalle? Why would the vine (creeping plant) that ties the calabash, be the one that ties the gourd and at the same time, the one that ties the ball-like seed of a vegetable called “elégédé”? Yoruba say this as “ìtàkùn t’ó so’gbà, ló s’agbè tó tún so elégédé”. This equivocation can only be possible if within the cooking pot is the capacity for evil and good in same proportion.
Musa’s appointment might have brought him on collision course with Robert Greene’s admonition in his 48 laws of power. The minister’s appointment has unwittingly made him to outshine the master. In the calculus of power, it is a lethal infraction. Trust politicians, by now, they are probably thinking he could be the right choice for the 2027 vice presidency. In which case, he would begin to harvest political enemies. This dais is different from the army where guns understand no politics.
General Musa (rtd) has found the favour of the world and in the world’s eyes, he is without blemish. But we must not forget that it was this same Musa, as Chief of Defence Staff, that the Canadian government denied entry visa to Canada in February of this year. It speaks to the institutional horror and complicity in the nourishment of terrorism that the Nigerian military is perceived to have been trapped. What should bother us is why and how that same Nigerian military, rated as one of the best in the world, has become a scum of the world. The answer is that it has been unequally yoked with political power and its rotten apples. Since 2009 when insurgency grew to become a hydra in Nigeria, military top-brasses have grown rotund cheeks and inflated tummies from fat defence budget. They purchase substandard armaments and sell equipment to insurgents. It is same with banditry which is fueled by illegal mining activities alleged to be the brainchild of retired generals. Unfortunately, it is the rank and file, and occasional big-epaulette like the late Brigadier-Gen Uba who Karma catches.
General Musa’s submission in the Senate last week coheres with mine on this page last week. The Nigerian military must never negotiate with terrorists, bandits or kidnappers. The state must be above those animals. Negotiating with them puts it at par with them. And lastly, to show that his political correctness in dealing with insurgency has ended, the president must sack Bello Matawalle. Either rightly or wrongly, the minister of state for defence carves the image of an ”agbódegbà ”. His successor, Dauda Lawal and many other testimonies, have argued this fact very convincingly. Now, the news of Musa coming into the Defence Ministry is the beginning of national excitement. That Trump is watching is also the precursor of wisdom. Can Matawalle’s exit then be the icing on the cake?
In a significant boost to Kisi educational development, Honourable Shina Peller, the Ayedero of Yorubaland and former member of the House of Representatives, has donated five million naira (₦5,000,000) to the Kisi Education Trust Fund.
The announcement was made during the annual Kisi Day celebrations held on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
The event, which served as a major cultural and developmental milestone for the community, brought together prominent indigenes, traditional leaders, and residents of the Oyo State town.
Addressing the gathering, Peller emphasized the critical role that education plays in the advancement of any society. He noted that the Trust Fund serves as a vital tool for ensuring that the youth of Kisi have access to quality learning opportunities and financial support for their academic pursuits.
The Kisi Education Trust Fund was established to bridge the gap in educational infrastructure and provide scholarships for brilliant but underprivileged students within the community.
Peller’s ₦5 million contribution is expected to provide an immediate impetus for several ongoing projects spearheaded by the fund.
Kisi Day is an annual festival celebrated by the people of Kisi (the headquarters of the Irepo Local Government Area). It is a day dedicated to celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the town, discussing developmental challenges and solutions and raising funds for community-led initiatives.
Moreover, the annual event is aimed at strengthening the bonds between Kisi indigenes at home and in the diaspora.
The 2026 edition has been hailed as a success, with Peller’s donation serving as a highlight of the day’s fundraising activities, signaling a renewed commitment to human capital development in the region.
Honourable Peller, a former member of the House of Representatives representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, attended the event not just as a statesman, but as a “son of the soil.” His mother, Alhaja Silifatu Peller, hails from Kisi, a connection the former lawmaker frequently cites as a source of his commitment to the town’s progress.
In his keynote remarks, Honourable Peller stated:
“Education is the bedrock of any meaningful development. My mother’s roots are here, and my heart remains with the people of Kisi.
“We must ensure that the next generation of Kisi indigenes are equipped with the knowledge and skills to compete globally. This donation is an investment in that future.”
The fund’s leadership expressed deep gratitude, noting that the contribution would significantly assist in:scholarship schemes such as providing tuition assistance for high-achieving students from low-income families, rehabilitating aging classrooms and providing modern learning materials to local schools and others.
The Iba of Kisi, HRM Oba Masoud Aweda Oyekola Lawal (Arowoduye II), along with the Kisi Progressive Union (KPU), praised the gesture as a “shining example of patriotism.”
As Kisi continues to grow as a major agricultural and cultural hub in northern Oyo State, such interventions are seen as vital to maintaining the town’s reputation for resilience and educational excellence.

Breaking Barriers: How the FG-ASUU Agreement Can Transform Nigerian Universities – By Tunji Oladejo
*The recent agreement between the Federal Government (FG) and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) represents an important turning point for Nigeria’s education sector. This landmark deal, which includes a 40% salary increase for academic staff and improved working conditions, is a potential game-changer in ending the perennial labour crises that have plagued Nigerian universities for years.*
The agreement addresses long-standing issues such as inadequate funding, poor infrastructure and low staff morale, which have contributed to frequent strikes and disruptions in academic activities. Key provisions include a 40% upward review of academic staff salaries, improved pension plans and the establishment of a National Research Council with statutory funding of at least 1% of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
This development is notable for several reasons. It is the first time a sitting Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has taken direct ownership of the dispute and prioritised its resolution. Dr Tunji Alausa, Minister of Education, drove the breakthrough in the crisis, championing dialogue and mutual respect. “A historic turning point”, he declared, emphasising the government’s commitment to keeping students in school and addressing academic staff concerns. By engaging ASUU with “the highest level of mutual respect”, he has paved the way for restored trust and confidence in Nigeria’s universities.
The deal addresses structural weaknesses in the university system, aiming to improve academic standards and global competitiveness.
The government has established a National Universities Commission (NUC) Committee to oversee its implementation, with regular progress reports to the President. Key mechanisms include an implementation committee chaired by the Minister of Education, a joint monitoring group to track progress and specific budgetary allocations for university improvements.
Interestingly, the government has committed to upholding university autonomy, allowing institutions to operate independently in line with existing laws and regulations. This includes respecting the rights of universities to govern themselves, appoint key officers, and determine the conditions of service for their staff. To facilitate this, laws like the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Act and the National Universities Commission Act will be reviewed and amended to remove impediments to autonomy and academic freedom. By doing so, the government aims to protect academic freedom and promote institutional self-governance.
The implementation of the agreement’s key provisions is already underway, with the government having released a circular directing the full implementation of the wages component, effective from January 1, 2026. Here are some specific timelines: the 40% salary increase for academic staff took effect on January 1, 2026; stabilisation and restoration fund: the government will provide N30 billion, disbursed in three equal instalments of N10 billion annually from 2026 to 2028; and the agreement is set for review after three years.
As for the state universities complying with the agreement’s terms, it’s unclear if state governors are duty-bound to implement it. Will they comply? That is the big question and that is the hurdle for the implementation monitoring committee that will oversee the process to cross.
Challenges ahead! Yes! The implementation monitoring committee is expected to identify and address potential challenges, especially the issue of transparency and accountability in the stabilisation and restoration fund. Can they pull it off? Will they deliver? Boosting Universities, the fund is to revive and strengthen academic activities likely focusing on infrastructure, research and staff welfare.
For success, the committee must keep everyone on track, ensuring that all parties adhere to agreed terms, including the 40% salary hike and N30bn Stabilisation Fund. The government must establish communication with key stakeholders, such as state governments and university administrations. Collaboration is key!
Funding challenges and transparency are the next issues to address. How’s the government planning to tackle them? Are there plans for audits or tracking mechanisms for the N30bn fund?
This agreement is expected to boost education quality and research output. Improved staff morale can attract and retain top talent, while enhanced research funding can drive innovation and global collaboration. Reduced disruptions mean more academic days and improved learning outcomes.
Universities can capitalise on this agreement to drive meaningful change. By allocating funds strategically, they can upgrade facilities, improve accommodation and enhance healthcare services for students. Investing in digital infrastructure will also prepare students for the modern workforce and improve learning experiences. Encouraging alumni and private sector partnerships can bring in additional resources and expertise.
The FG-ASUU agreement will significantly transform Nigeria’s academic sector. With a committee overseeing implementation and the government engaging stakeholders, it’s poised to boost salaries, fund universities and get things moving. Delivery is key—let’s hope they nail it!

Ahmed Raji(SAN) Accomplish Another Landmark Feat, Launch New School Block, Handover Ultra-Modern CBT Center To JAMB.
Renowned legal icon, philanthropist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Alhaji Ahmed Adeniyi Raji, has once again reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to educational advancement as he is getting ready to launch a newly constructed school building and hand-over a modern Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre to Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Iseyin, Oyo State.
This historic event, scheduled to hold on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, is expected to attract top educationists, including the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Isiaq Oloyede, who will officially receive the CBT centre on behalf of the examination body.
According to statement issued and signed by Hon. Saheed Adejare Yusuf Alaran, brother, development partner to the legal luminary and made available to media, said this intervention initiative is part of Alhaji Raji’s long-standing vision to make quality education affordable, accessible and all-inclusive, irrespective of students’ socio-economic background.
Hon. Adejare Yusuf Alaran disclosed that the legal icon has taken full responsibility for the construction of a modern school complex comprising classrooms, administrative offices and fully equipped laboratories for the Senior Secondary arm of Raji Okeesa Memorial Comprehensive High School. The new facilities are designed to enhance teaching, learning and overall academic excellence.
In addition, Alhaji Raji has also built a well-equipped JAMB CBT Centre with a seating capacity of 250 candidates, fitted to meet global examination standards. The centre is expected to significantly ease the burden on students who previously travelled long distances to sit for UTME examinations.
Hon. Adejare Yusuf Alaran further noted that the official unveiling and handover will ensure the CBT centre is efficiently managed by JAMB for optimal use. He stressed that the initiative would save thousands of youths from avoidable stress while promoting fairness and efficiency in examination processes.
With this latest gesture, Alhaji Raji has once again etched his name in gold as a steadfast champion of education and youth empowerment in Oyo State and beyond.
Oyo State Government has reaffirmed its preparedness for the official commencement of the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) examinations.
This is in line with the Federal Government’s directive for a gradual transition from pen-and-paper to full digital testing.
The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Hon. Olusegun Olayiwola, disclosed this while receiving the Zonal Coordinator and Deputy Registrar of West African Examination Council(WAEC), Mr. Waheed Amode, and his management team during a courtesy visit to his office on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.
Olayiwola revealed that Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has directed that the cost implications for the procurement of over 60,000 laptops for public senior secondary schools across the state be worked out, noting that the move is aimed at positioning Oyo State ahead of the full adoption of CBT examinations.
He commended WAEC for the proactive measures taken to address the challenges experienced during the 2025 examinations, while pledging the Ministry’s continued support in curbing examination malpractice and preventing vandalisation of school facilities.
In his remarks, Amode said the visit was to appreciate the Oyo State Ministry of Education for its support during the 2025 WAEC examinations and for its consistent collaboration with the Council over the years, describing the Ministry as a key stakeholder in the success of WAEC operations.
He disclosed that registration for the 2026 May/June WAEC examination closed on 2nd February, 2026, adding that the forthcoming examinations would be conducted using both CBT and pen-and-paper modes depending on the readiness of individual schools, while schools interested in full CBT participation are expected to formally indicate their interest through official correspondence.
Amode also warned that severe penalties await any candidate caught with mobile phones in the examination hall.
He stressed that such misconduct could lead to the cancellation of an entire school’s results, depending on the circumstances, and urged principals and teachers to uphold integrity in order to strengthen educational standards.
Meanwhile, Honourable Olusegun Olayiwola has called on parents, guardians and teachers to strengthen collaboration in order to address moral decline in schools, noting that effective partnership between the home and the school is essential for raising disciplined, responsible and value-driven students.
The Commissioner made the call while receiving members of the National Education Reform Movement (NERM), urging stakeholders to prioritise discipline and quality teaching, while NERM leader, Mr. Adewumi Abass, warned that weak parent–teacher synergy and rising examination malpractice pose serious threats to Nigeria’s education system and recommended the use of the resource book, “Parenting for Excellence,” as a guide for improvement.
The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo State Council, has congratulated a distinguished Patron and renowned mediapreneur, Olooye Adeboyega Taofeek Adegoke, on the occasion of his birthday, describing him as a pillar of support for journalists and media development in the state.
In a congratulatory statement jointly signed by the Chairman, Mr. Akeem Abas, and Secretary, Dayo Adu, the Council extolled Oloye Adegoke’s outstanding commitment to the growth of the Union and the welfare of its members.
The council noted that as a responsible and dependable Patron, Oloye Adegoke has consistently demonstrated deep passion for the progress of journalism, maintaining a cordial and mutually beneficial relationship with the NUJ Oyo State Council.

The Union particularly commended his rare gesture of giving without demanding anything in return, describing his selflessness as a virtue worthy of emulation within and outside the media industry.
Oyo NUJ added that Oloye Adegoke’s contributions as a mediapreneur have also helped in advancing media enterprise, capacity building, and opportunities for journalists across the state.
