A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and former presidential aspirant of the party, Adamu Garba, has affirmed the allegations that the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, was funding Boko Haram and other terrorists organizations.

Garba said funds from USAID were used to procure weapons for Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other terrorists’ groups.

In a video he posted on his X page, Garba wondered how USAID spent $824 million last year in Nigeria.

Recall that Pennsylvanian Republican lawmaker, Scot Perry had claimed that USAID was funding terrorists organizations.

Speaking during the session tagged: “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” focused on alleged misuse of taxpayer funds, the Congress man alleged that $697 million in aid was being funnelled to Boko Haram, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda through USAID.

Perry claimed that there is no record of USAID using $136 million to build 120 schools in Pakistan

Reacting, Garba said: “I mentioned this before that Boko Haram, ISWAP, and most of these terrorists, the weapon they get is actually funded by some clandestine foreign operators, they are the ones supplying them weapons.

“The expose about the USAID has confirmed that Boko Haram and all these terrorists are getting their weapons through the funding from USAID.

“Just last year, USAID spent $824 million in Nigeria, where did the money go to? Do you know what $824 million means? When you convert it to naira you will find out its N1.3 trillion.

“This means that each state can have up to N36 billion, yet this is what they claimed to have spent in child care mortality and some education endowment, but what did you see; nothing.

“When did the money come in, where did it go to? These monies go to the funding of Boko Haram and kidnappers that are used to kill and destroy our land, that is the operation.

“A US Congressman has confirmed this statement, the Congressman made a speech by saying that Boko Haram, bandits, and terrorists operating in the Sahel are mostly funded by USAID.

“Africa is going to be great and terrorism is now ending, what Trump is doing in the US is to expose the entire global corruption scandals, this is just a tip of an iceberg.

“More is going to be released among the African elites, most of them in collaboration with criminals to destroy our land are soon going to be exposed and we will reclaim our country and continent for the betterment of our people and future.”

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts

A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.

In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.

According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.

In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.

She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.

While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
