“Inside Sources” host, Laolu Akande discusses Nigeria’s security situation with four global analysts - Mallam Baba Yusuf (Strategy Analyst), Ismail Omibinoh (Deputy Editor Sun Newspaper), Emmanuel Ogebe (Human Rights Lawyer)

Key Highlights

  • Impunity: Chad has executed Boko Haram terrorists but Nigeria has not.

  • America doesn’t need Nigeria’s resources. With $460 billion networth, Elon Musk alone can buy Nigeria with $200 Billion GDP and still be the world’s richest man.

  • Tinubu appointed fugitive with case file in America for attacking congressional witnesses as ambassador who will be blocked

  • America has conducted multiple covert ops to rescue its citizens in Nigeria because the state failed to rescue them

It is not correct to say that only particular tribes are terrorists. Let us identify these people as criminals without profiling them.
— Ismail Omibinoh
