Nigeria's war on drugs is counterterrorism by another instrument. Applying routine activity theory, this analysis shows how the NDLEA under General Marwa is breaking the convergence that sustains terrorism: cutting the tramadol supply that chemically fuels Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters, and inserting capable guardianship along trafficking routes. With over 77,000 arrests and 14.8 million kilograms seized since 2021, drug interdiction is degrading terrorist power without a sin

Before leaving Nigeria, OSRS CEO Professor Sunday Ogunlana paid a courtesy visit to Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland. Once the generalissimo of the Oyo Empire, the office is now ceremonial and strategic, not a private army.

The summit raised three questions every national security professional must confront. Would Washington abandon Taiwan? Can the United States defeat modern China? Will the strait actually reopen? This OSRS strategic analysis breaks down the military balance, the closing deterrence window, and what practi

Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio resets a fractured Nigeria-United States relationship eight months before the January 2027 election.
