General Musa has now been appointed Minister of Defence, but one uncomfortable question refuses to leave my mind:

Will he truly be able to work effectively with the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle?

Before we rush to answer, we must first remind ourselves who Bello Matawalle is — based on his own public statements and allegations surrounding his time in office.

In 2021, as Governor of Zamfara, he declared in a now-viral interview:

> “Not all bandits are criminals.”

He argued that vigilante groups had cheated them, suggesting that their violence was a reaction rather than a crime. Many Nigerians were shocked by that position, especially those who had lost loved ones to banditry.

But that is not where the controversy ends.

In November 2025, a former senior aide granted an explosive interview alleging that Matawalle supplied 36 brand-new Toyota Hilux vehicles to known bandit commanders. The same aide claimed he maintained communication with these commanders—even after becoming Minister.

Then came the most troubling allegation of all:

Governor Dauda Lawal, his successor, publicly accused Matawalle of harbouring bandits.

These accusations are not whispers; they are public records, statements made openly by people who once worked with him or succeeded him in office.

So here is the real question:

How does a Defence Minister, tasked with eliminating insecurity, work side-by-side with a Minister of State who faces unresolved allegations of fraternizing with the very forces destabilizing the nation?

This is not a political question — it is a national security question.

And Nigerians deserve honest answers.

What is your take?

Here’s a breakdown of the differences between Yoco and Moniepoint — how each works, what their systems are, and how acquiring and owning their devices/terminals differs. I focus especially on what applies broadly (since Yoco is South Africa–based, and Moniepoint is Nigeria-based) — but this helps highlight why one might be more relevant than the other depending on location and needs.

“If Nigeria were a product on the global shelf, would you buy it?
If not — what must we redesign in our governance, systems, and culture for the world to once again desire the ‘Made in Nigeria’ identity — not just our talent, but our citizenship?”

Your Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, sir — I speak today not in anger, but in deep concern for the soul of our nation.
Nigeria is bleeding.

Our people are living in fear.
Kidnappings, killings, and insecurity have become a daily reality, and sir, the patience of Nigerians is running out.

You were elected with the hope that you would bring stability, strength, and decisive leadership.
But where insecurity grows, confidence in government declines.

Mr. President, this is a patriotic plea:
Take bold, urgent, uncompromising action to secure this nation.
Reform the security architecture.
Strengthen intelligence.

Protect the citizens you swore an oath to defend.
Because in 2027, Nigerians will not vote based on promises —
They will vote based on performance.
And insecurity will be the number one scorecard.

Sir, we love this country.
We want you to succeed.
But Nigeria cannot continue like this.
The time to act is now.

In this powerful conversation with Anna Hussaini Pai, we dive deep into the neglected reality of the Nigerian boy child — how he is being shaped, ignored, exploited, and weaponized by politics.

From election violence to identity crises, broken homes, drug abuse, and political manipulation, this episode exposes the painful truth: If we lose the boy child, we lose the future of Nigeria.

Anna Hussaini Pai joins The AfriOne Show with Darlington Steve (The Afropolitan Apostle) to unpack:

The emotional and societal abandonment of the boy child

How politics recruits young boys into thuggery and violence

Family, community, and faith failures affecting boys

What Nigeria must do to heal, empower, and redirect its sons

A powerful message to parents, leaders, and boys themselves

This episode will challenge you, inspire you, and push the national conversation forward.

Subscribe, comment, and share — let’s build the Nigeria we want, starting with the boy child.
