Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi raju'un. I lost my father, comrade Ali Chiroma. Please say a prayer if you come across this tweet.
Inside the shehu's palace, #Maiduguri, #Borno_State.
So when you come across anyone from maiduguri talking about Christian genocide, know that he/she is a hypocrite.
If you live in #Borno_State and pushing the narrative that there is Christian genocide in Nigeria, know that you're the biggest hypocrite
Those who hate the country will surely and definitely support this baseless claim by the US about christians being massacred in Nigeria.
May Allah forgive you and bless you with Aljannatul firdaus. We truly miss you our father.
Very educating
It is actually more surprising than a shock that Nigerian military forces in Borno state use the same voice-over radio systems as Boko Haram/ISWAP insurgents.
This I think allows the enabling of the latter to intercept communications and anticipate ambushes or organise attacks.
The Hiyunton H290 is a VHF/UHF radio interceptable when pairs are lost.
This is not an allegation but a clear cut evidence with recurring reports of military infiltration and sabotage in Nigeria's northeast, including a January 2025 ISWAP ambush in Borno that killed soldiers, amid claims of insider leaks rather than technical vulnerabilities.
As a signals intelligence analyst with over a decades of years tracking asymmetric warfare in sub-Saharan Africa, one detail emerging from open-source intel on Nigeria's Borno operations stands out the Nigerian Armed Forces and ISWAP/Boko Haram insurgents appear to operate on identical voice-over-radio platforms.
This isn't mere coincidence, it's a tactical Achilles' heel enabling real-time interception, predictive ambushes, and coordinated strikes.
At the core of this situation is the Hiyunton H290, a compact VHF/UHF handheld transceiver (136-174 MHz VHF / 400-470 MHz UHF bands) it proliferates via gray-market imports from Shenzhen suppliers.
The vulnerability, also known as Lost pairing, could and would occur If insurgents capture or raid a unit (common BHT in hit-and-run ops), they sync to the exact freq/hop sequence.
And yes, just off-the-shelf a $20 SDR dongle can sniff and decode pairing in seconds.
Military patrols broadcast troop movements, rally points, and ROE in the clear to anyone tuned in.
This sometimes displaces recurring reports of "insider leaks" which may mask a deeper issue.
Take the Jan 8 ISWAP ambush near Sabon Gari: 6 NAF personnel KIA, 34 insurgents neutralized in the counter.
Initial attributions pointed to moles, but pattern analysis (cross-referenced with prior incidents) screams comms compromise. Insurgents struck with surgical timing and flanking a convoy mid-relocation, per leaked after-action summaries.
This post above b6 @DanBorno is clearing the fact that in most cases, it is not human intel breach; just eavesdropped chatter.

“Nigeria is a sovereign nation not a banana republic” — Aliyu Ibrahim Gebi
This video should be retweeted every single minute. The link to the full interview is under the thread..
With such a massive skills acquisition center build by @GovBorno in the state, yet some people are saying that the govt is forcing youth out of business.

Zulum expresses shock over death of former President Buhari
@BornoGovt State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara @ProfZulum, has received with deep shock and immense sorrow news of the death of His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In a press statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Dauda Iliya, Gov. Zulum said that although death is inevitable to mankind, Buhari's demise at this critical time of Nigeria's democratic journey is colossal, as the vacuum created is going to be difficult to fill.
The statement reads: "It is with profound sadness that I learned of the death of former President Muammadu Buhari while receiving treatment at a London Clinic today (Sunday, July 13, 2025).
"On behalf of myself, government and the good people of Borno State, I wish to send our heartfelt condolences to the family of former President Muhammadu Buhari, and our deep sympathies are with the people and government of Nigeria, Katsina State and Daura Emirate in particular.
"The late former President was an iconic figure whose life embodied discipline, integrity, humility and a steadfast commitment to the service of Nigeria.
As the first military governor of old Borno State from 3rd February 1976 to 15 March 1976, President Buhari has played a critical role in the development of the state, Northeast region and the country at large.
"From his days as a young military officer to his tenure as military Head of State and later as a democratically elected president for two consecutive terms, Buhari distinguished himself as a detribalized leader of conviction and purpose. His legacy is one of sacrifice, selflessness and steadfast commitment to the unity, security and progress of our dear country.
"Although death is inevitable to mankind, Buhari's demise at this critical time of Nigeria's democratic journey is colossal, as the vacuum created would be difficult to fill.
Governor Zulum recalled the last visit of President Buhari to the state in November 2024 to commiserate with the government and people of the state due to the devastating flood disaster noting that the late president has always been supportive to Borno.
"We pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) in His infinite mercy forgives his shortcomings and grants him eternal rest in Aljannatul Firdaus", Zulum stated.
We lost our brother Usman Ali Chiroma. Please if you come across this, include him in your prayers. May forgive him.

Earlier today, I had the honor of engaging with the brilliant Prof. PLO Lumumba, a true Pan-African voice of conscience, at the 4th Annual Meeting of the Africa Sovereign Investors Forum (ASIF) in Abuja.
In his inspiring style, Prof. Lumumba delivered a clarion call to African leaders: to rise beyond rhetoric and invest our continent’s sovereign wealth within Africa for the sake of generations yet unborn. He reminded us that our duty extends beyond the present to the future, and that our wealth, if wisely channeled, holds the power to liberate and transform Africa from within.
I couldn’t agree more.
It was a privilege to exchange ideas with a man whose words echo the dreams of a continent in pursuit of dignity, justice, and prosperity.
