Nigeria's Armed Forces—the Army, Navy, and Air Force, will conduct a Guard of Honour Parade as a mark of respect for the late President The late President Buhari was responsible for the modernization/expansion of the Nigerian military, an effort comparable only to the 1970s&80s

A BBJ2/T7-NAS, likely carrying the Nigerian President, is currently heading towards Katsina. The PAF aircraft, which is transporting the remains of the late President, is currently off flight tracking. However, it's likely around Katsina/hovering until the CinC plane has landed.

The hour has arrived. The President has landed at Katsina airport, preceding the imminent arrival of late President Buhari's body. The military is ready to receive the body in line with military tradition, before it's handed over to the family for burial

The remains of late President Buhari are now being carried out of the aircraft by senior military officers to the flight line. It's a full circle of life as the former President returns to Katsina for the final time, to the state where his life began

Remarks such as, "You don't sound like a Northerner," "You don't speak like a Northerner," or "You speak so well for someone from the North" are not compliments. These remarks are subtle insults based on stereotypes and prejudiced assumptions that Northerners are illiterates

During my recent visit to Kano and Daura I observed a significant youth population. While this holds great potential it also presents a serious challenge particularly when the youths are unemployed, underemployed, uneducated or lack skills.

That's the "refurbished" Airbus A330-200, which has returned to the country with a new paint job. It's unclear if its interior was upgraded as well. The Boeing 737-700 aircraft is back in service. It was recently used by the Vice President, likely until a buyer is found for it.
