We Are Not Exceptional - Zamfara State Legislators

The Zamfara state government has taken a stand against President Muhammadu Buhari's order to ban all flights across the state.
State legislators voted against the move, describing it as action speaks louder than words.
One of the law makers in the state who came up with the bill, Faruku Dosara, slammed the federal government and retaliated against President Buhari's security adviser, retired Major General Babagana Munguno, for his alleged negligence in the issues concerning security and prosecuting suspects involved in the case.
About 300 Jangebe Science Secondary School students were recently abducted and held captive by gunmen for several days before being released, which experts say a ransom must be paid before a deal can be reached.
Faruku Dosara said, "It is not only Zamfara State that has the issue of kidnapping in Nigeria, there are Dabchi, Kangara, Chibok and Kagara in Niger State. Why is Zamfara different? We are not exceptional".
In addition to kidnappings for ransom, militant attacks have claimed hundreds of lives in the state.
It is unknown at this time what will happen about this new dillema in the state as the governor of Zamfara, Bello Mutawalle, was recently quoted as saying that he was not far behind in cracking down on the perpetrators of the killings and a series of attacks in the State.

WHEN LIES GO VIRAL: DEFENDING TRUTH IN NIGERIA AND WEST AFRICA’S DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERES

Across Nigeria and West Africa, digital technology has reshaped how citizens engage with information, governance, and public debate. Mobile phones and social media platforms have become dominant sources of news, especially for young people and communities with limited access to traditional media. While this transformation has expanded civic participation and freedom of expression, it has also intensified the spread of misinformation, posing serious risks to democracy, public health, and social cohesion. Misinformation is no longer a marginal problem. It is a structural challenge that affects elections, security, development communication, and trust in public institutions. Addressing it requires coordinated action that combines ethical journalism, media literacy, platform accountability, and evidence based policy responses.
