This nonsense needs to stop. Why is it that Nigerians now want things without putting in the effort.

One thing builds on the other. I can get that woman out here in a beautiful first world country, but why would I do that?.

I didn't come out here at age 20 and become a citizen by talking nonsense on the internet. Social media no even dey dat time like today.

It took a process. Little by little. But this generation want to be serves everything on a gold platter. Dis one now, she ready to do olosho join sef. Soft life my left yansh.

EmperorIsaac:
Breathing...tax free! They have tried to monetize it, but mercy says no.

Tinubu is still busy scheming on how to tax it as we speak.

Godfullsam:
The only region notorious for olosho politic is the SE .
Peter obi is a case study: Apga - pdp - LP - Adc and still counting.

You guys are fond of accusing people of what you are guilty of.

I really wish that I can decend into the gutters, but I can't.

Godfullsam:
What if I tell you there is no atom of sense in this your long epistle.

I ask you again, do you belong to Nigeria or Biafra?

What if I tell you that you are not intellectually equiped to understand what I wrote.

So tell me, is the SW intent on continuing to do olosho in Nigeria geopolitics?.

CodeTemplarr:
What about high spate of public fund wastage? Hunger persist yet wastage of funds to fight artificially sustained insecurity,

Who is the president again?.

Are we still encouraging people to take multiple wives and produce children they cannot afford to feed or educate all under the guise of religion?.

Islam is predominantly practiced in the North, which is home to roughly 15.23 million out-of-school children, representing about 80% of Nigeria’s total.

The North West alone accounts for approximately 8.04 million, while the North East has about 5.06 million children who are not in school.

With the North holding the overwhelming majority of Nigeria’s out-of-school population, is it any surprise that the region has long struggled with severe insecurity, dating back to the Maitatsine uprisings of the 1980s?.

China’s former one-child policy prevented the demographic and socioeconomic challenges that Nigeria is now grappling with.

The real issue is not simply that Islam permits polygamy, it is the mindset of unproductive, idle individuals who feel compelled to reproduce excessively, as though it were a competition.

Even in the heartlands of Sunni Islam, Saudi Arabia and Shia Islam, Iran, people are not taking wives indiscriminately, despite being far more economically stable.

shortgun:
The Igbos are not a minority but have failed to use its majority status to it's advantage.
Ruteless, violant and domineering ethnicities are ruling the country while our people still see violence as evil

I agree with you, but this passive posture is by design. Igbo is to Nigeria what China is to the world.

We are Merchants. While they are busy with violence and despair we get real busy selling them even their wares of violence. That's mercantile and we need it.

There is no doubt in Igbo ability to project power, but power is not necessarily measured by ability to engage in rancour or fisticuffs.

There is economic power to booth, Igbo perfectly excells in it. That is real power.

AguluLiar:
They should reduce South East States to 2.
That'region adds nothing to GDP

Sure. How about finally letting them go?.
That application is on the table as we speak.

Godfullsam:
One more state in the SE mean one more state in all the 6 geo political zones.

Nigeria cannot afford 42 states right now with our resources and debt burdens.

Besides, the SE should tell us in one voice where they truly belong.

Either Biafra or Nigeria...

They should be serious for once

And who are you that anyone is obligated to explain anything to you?.

More importantly, when will northerners speak with one voice and clearly define where they belong?. Are they Nigerians or Sahelians?. Are southwesterners northerners or southerners?.

What interests does the Southwest truly represent in Nigeria’s geopolitical landscape?. Are they comfortable playing a transactional, inconsistent, olosho role in national affairs?.

Hear this, the Igbo can no longer be marginalized in Nigeria. The era in which others dictated Igbo identity or defined who is Igbo has come to an irrevocable end.

In my view, Anioma should finally reunite with their kin, together with all those who now wish to realign their identity. This includes, but is not limited to, all Ika and Igboakiri (Igbanke) communities.

Furthermore, boundary adjustments are necessary to integrate Igbo communities in Benue and Kogi into Enugu and Ebonyi, while the Igala areas of Anambra should be properly delineated into Kogi where they rightly belong.

Similarly, boundaries should be clearly and correctly demarcated between Rivers and Imo, as well as between Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Abia taking pre colonial and ancestral coherence into consideration.

If indeed Nigeria stands by the principle of “no victor, no vanquished,” then these matters should be addressed promptly in the interest of peace, justice, and national reconciliation.

These are the low-hanging fruits we should be moving swiftly to harvest.

Christistruth03:
On the issue of of Drugs the SE Govs need to have a conference renouncing it
and set up strategies to abolish it

It has become a plague

That should be a proposal to the chief drug lord of Nigeria, your lord and savior. Do you not think so?.

In Nigeria, the age of consent, that is, the legal age at which a person is considered legally competent to agree to sexual activity, is 18 years old under federal law.

However, it’s important to note that Nigeria has a complex legal system that combines:

Statutory (federal) law,

Customary law, and Sharia (Islamic) law in some northern states.

Here’s a breakdown:

Federal law (such as the Child Rights Act 2003) defines a child as anyone under 18, making the age of consent 18 years.

Some northern states, which operate under Sharia law, may have different standards regarding marriage and consent, in those jurisdictions, the age of consent is often linked to puberty rather than a fixed number.

However, from the perspective of national law and international conventions Nigeria has ratified (like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child), the recognized legal age of consent is 18 years old.

Now, here's what the book says on section 218 of the criminal code 2004. Its worthy to note that this deals with act of sexual knowledge of a minor person which cannot be consensual:

Section 218 of Nigeria's Criminal Code Act (2004) makes it a felony to have unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 13, with penalties of life imprisonment.

It also addresses attempts, making it a felony punishable by 14 years imprisonment for anyone attempting to have such knowledge of a girl under 13. The law defines this as the "defilement of a girl".

Felony for girls under 13: Anyone who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under 13 years old is guilty of a felony and can be sentenced to life imprisonment, with or without caning.

Attempts: Anyone who attempts to commit this crime is also guilty of a felony and can be sentenced to 14 years imprisonment, with or without caning.

Definition: "Defilement of a child" has been interpreted to mean having sexual intercourse with a child.

Age 13-16: Section 218 also addresses offenses against girls between 13 and 16 years of age. For a girl of or above 13 and under 16, it is a misdemeanor with a penalty of up to two years imprisonment, with or without caning.

You knew all of these Mr Dambazau, but you colludingly kept quiet until Trump stepped in. Terrorist!.

Who stll listen to pathological liar Daniel?

My fellow Nairalanders, my exchange with the user known as Helinues on issues of security and the economy was suddenly deleted by a mod.

I noticed that the person I was debating with stopped replying, and before I knew it, the entire thread was wiped out.

If anyone still needs proof that this place has turned into an Ahmed Tinubu talk shop — well, here it is.

Insults and falsehoods about others are tolerated, but not plain facts about Tinubu and his glaring shortcomings. Sad!

@Seun, is this really the kind of forum you set out to build?.

Fair enough.

I understand that you may need to consult your handlers before responding to a mundane question regarding the performance of a man you and your group members have been defending and propagating for a living.

We dey wait. Time is patient.

helinues:
If Tinubu is not the genius to solve Nigeria problem then it can never be the Agulu fraud

Let’s set aside your obvious occupational target, Mr. Peter Obi, and focus on the main subject, President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, for a moment.

Once again, and speaking honestly (if that quality still applies to you), do you still believe that Mr. President is still the solution to Nigeria’s economic and security challenges today?.

helinues:
My reference was about kidnapping but when it comes to insecurity in general, Southern regions are not different from North. The most barbaric killing is happening in Southern regions with the ritualists

It seems you’re not fully aware of the current trends and crime dynamics in Nigeria.

Aside from the usual “skull mining” incidents in the southwestern states, Ogun, Oyo, and Ondo, most of these so-called ritualists are actually human organ traffickers, largely driven by Fulani criminal networks operating in southern Nigeria

helinues:
Tinubu is also the governor of all the 36 states in Nigeria remember

Oga, just answer my question directly and stop deflecting.

Under the Nigerian Constitution, a governor can’t give binding orders to his state commissioner of police, talk less of a battalion commander or a GOC. But the president, Tinubu, actually can.

So tell me, is Tinubu really still the answer to all of Nigeria’s problems?.

helinues:
There are so many unreported cases most especially in Southern Nigeria

kidnapping is a clear indication of state failure.

Ahmed Tinubu as it stands today has failed to protect Nigerian lives from terrorists and external aggressors. Hunger and death now pervades the Nigeria space.

Do you still believe he is a genius with all solutions to all problems?.

Refinedbeing:
The US will eventually have to work with the Nigeria government. They should start the pushback from Kwara down to Benue, Plateau and Southern Kaduna when they come. We’ll appreciate them.

And what will your lazy and compromised Nigeria military be doing while men like them do what they are paid for?.

The recent decision by the United States government to take a firm position in defense of Christian communities in Nigeria deserves recognition. It underscores a growing awareness of the challenges facing religious minorities in several regions of the world, particularly where political instability and extremist ideologies intersect.

History offers sobering lessons on how the dynamics of faith, power, and governance can transform entire societies. The gradual Islamization of what was once the Byzantine heartland, modern-day Turkey, and the medieval expansion that reached as far as Spain remind us that religious and cultural shifts often occur through persistent political and ideological campaigns. Without the determined resistance of earlier generations during the Crusades and other historical turning points, the global religious and cultural landscape might look very different today.

Nigeria stands at a similar crossroads. The country’s structural weaknesses and governance failures have left it vulnerable to extremist infiltration. For years, Islamist militant groups have systematically targeted Christian populations through violence, abductions, and psychological terror, creating an atmosphere of fear and displacement. These attacks are not random acts of violence but form part of a broader effort to destabilize communities and impose ideological control, jihad.

The U.S. designation acknowledging these realities is both timely and necessary. However, real change must come from within. Nigerian Christians, and indeed all citizens who value peace and pluralism, must adopt a proactive and strategic approach to community defense and civic engagement. Faith must continue to inspire peace and compassion, but it should also motivate collective resilience and self-preservation.

In the end, the protection of religious freedom is not merely a diplomatic concern; it is a moral imperative. The international community, faith leaders, and local governments must work together to ensure that Nigeria remains a nation where all people, regardless of belief, can live without fear of persecution.

Ah!, and she stayed alive long enough to make best graduating student?. I thought they eat people in the southeast?.

Ronus, welcome to your mandate. We told y'all the fraud you support will finish your miserable lives before long.

Look at where you are now. Look at your lives. It wasn't me who echoed "ebi mpawa". That is your language.

Una neva see anything yet. But hope still dey. Support HE Peter Obi in 2027 to liberate Nigeria and prevent the continued erosion of our core values and livelihoods.

Willy2025:
How can he even refer to himself as a king in another man's land let alone installing a chief? This is an impunity carried too far. It is common to this particular tribe in Nigeria. I don't usually hear others committing such opprobrium or engage in acts calculated to bring the name of the country into disrepute.

Make una dey research and think before una go open mouth waaah!.

Very simple answer: Sowore and Tinubu dey under the same duvet.

All he is doing make believe. He is drawing emoluments from the same man he tells you he's fighting against.

DomPerignon:
Which resources do you guys bring to the table?

The economic net negative zone that is dependent solely on federal handouts .

Pls tell us what you contributed against what you got from federal handouts?

I'd engage you but for my decision to no longer engage unintelligent discuss.

First, tell us what cashable resources Yoruba brings to the Nigeria table. You and I know your cocoa plantations are mere relics of the past now, so, what else?. Let's start from there.
