 IGP Egbetokun Clarifies Budget Presentation Controversy at National Assembly

On January 17, 2025, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun addressed concerns regarding the Nigeria Police Force's (NPF) 2025 budget presentation to the National Assembly.Contrary to circulating reports, the IGP clarified that the NPF did not submit two different budget proposals.Instead, two versions of the same budget were provided: a comprehensive document and an abridged version, both containing identical figures and facts.The abridged version employed simplified language to facilitate understanding.



The clarification came after an incident during the budget defense session with the Joint Committees on Police Affairs and Police Institutions.Senator Onyekachi Nwoebonyi of Ebonyi North, who arrived late to the session, referenced the comprehensive version while the IGP was presenting the abridged version.Despite explanations from other committee members about the prior agreement to use the abridged version, Senator Nwoebonyi refused to listen and abruptly left the session.The IGP described the incident as unnecessary drama that could have been avoided with better communication.






The IGP also highlighted significant challenges the NPF faces with budget allocations, including inadequate funding, the restrictive envelope budget system, and delays in fund releases.These issues impede the Force's ability to address its expanding responsibilities effectively.He called on the public to remain patient and supportive as the NPF remains committed to delivering exceptional service with professionalism and dedication.

This incident underscores the importance of clear communication and understanding during critical budget discussions, especially concerning national security and law enforcement funding.

Headline: “Seeds of Control: How GMO Agriculture Quietly Rewired the World While Hiding Behind Selective Breeding” Introduction: In 2025, a war is being waged in our soil—not with bullets, but with biotech. Multinational corporations sell genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as the logical successor to selective breeding, packaging the shift as innovation rather than infiltration. But beneath the surface lies a startling truth: GMOs and traditional breeding are not cousins—they are ideological opposites. While one is evolution by human partnership, the other is patent-protected conquest. The real story isn’t about food. It’s about control. This isn’t just a tale of crops and laboratories. It’s the architecture of a global monopoly—one built on secrecy, engineered dependency, and legislative sleight of hand. To understand today’s battle over food sovereignty, we must unearth the hybrid history they never meant to germinate. The Roots Beneath the Soil: A Quiet Revolution in Genetic Po...

  Borderlines of Power: The Secret History Behind Thai-Cambodian Clashes and the Real War in 2025 Introduction: The Smoke Isn’t New—Just the Fire In July 2025, gunfire once again echoed across the Thai-Cambodian border. To the casual observer, it’s just another Southeast Asian flare-up—an unfortunate clash between neighboring militaries over vague lines and national pride. But beneath the dust and headlines lies a haunting continuity: this is not just about territory. It’s about centuries of stolen sovereignty, post-colonial betrayal, secret treaties, and a 21st-century proxy war playing out under the banner of nationalism. This isn’t just another border dispute. It’s a geopolitical feedback loop—engineered, ignored, and now igniting the region once more. Part I: The Colonial Blueprint – How France and Britain Drew Blood With Pens The origins of today’s Thai-Cambodian friction trace back not to modern-day parliaments, but to colonial drawing rooms and imperial expeditions.
