Counterigbolies:
dey play

U said more than this in 2023, it ended in tears

One problem with u lots is that u take self deciet to a great height, u lie to yourselves n believe it a lot

Your pride mind has deceived you.
You tinubu supporters should run far away and hide.
Peter Obi and obidients are coming to make Nigeria great again.

Surprise ending awaits APC and tinubu.

Counterigbolies:
if peter obi should negotiate with nnamdi kanu, will he not negotiate with Boko Haram, isis, iswap,al Qaeda n co too?

Bro, that question is called 'slippery slope fallacy'. Let me break it:

1. Govt already negotiates differently based on context: Nigeria negotiates with Niger Delta militants for amnesty. Nigeria runs 'Operation Safe Corridor' for repentant Boko Haram. Nigeria does NOT negotiate with ISIS/Al Qaeda because they have no local grievance + no interest in Nigerian constitution.

So govt already knows: 'negotiate with Kanu/IPOB' ≠ 'negotiate with ISIS'. Context, goals, and history matter.

2. Dialogue ≠ Surrender: When Yar’Adua negotiated with militants, he didn’t give them 'control of oil'. When BH enters Safe Corridor, they don’t get 'Sharia for Nigeria'. Conditions are set. Same way, any dialogue with IPOB would have red lines: one Nigeria, rule of law, disarmament first.

3. Your question back to you: If Buhari/Tinubu negotiated with BH under Safe Corridor, will they negotiate with ISIS tomorrow? No. Because govt uses wisdom, not copy-paste.

So Obi negotiating with SE agitators doesn’t mean he’ll invite Al Qaeda to Aso Rock. It means he’ll apply the same wisdom past govts used: talk to groups with local political grievances to reduce deaths, while crushing groups with global terror ideology.

If you truly believe 'dialogue with one = dialogue with all', then you should be protesting Operation Safe Corridor right now. Are you?

Counterigbolies:
the difference is because treason is different from resource control in the case of Niger delta.

As for the case of Boko Haram, they all are terrorists in d same group with nnamdi kanu n no same person should negotiate with them

"Oga, you just contradicted yourself in 2 sentences.

1. Treason ≠ resource control': Correct. Different crimes. But Yar’Adua still negotiated with 'resource control' agitators. Govt still deradicalizes 'treason/terrorism' agitators under Operation Safe Corridor. So govt policy already says: crime type doesn’t cancel dialogue. It changes the _terms_ of dialogue.

2. BH are terrorists in same group with Kanu, no negotiation: If that’s your rule, then tell Buhari/Tinubu to shut down Operation Safe Corridor today. Since 2016, govt has deradicalized + released thousands of 'BH terrorists in same group'. Army calls it security strategy.

So which is it? Is your rule 'no negotiation with terrorists/treason', or is govt’s rule 'negotiation based on context'?

You can’t praise BH deradicalization as 'security', then call Obi asking for SE dialogue 'treason'. That’s not principle. That’s tribal lens.

Address govt policy first before you judge Obi.

Tinubu supporters turn and run! Hide! Peter Obi and obidients are coming.

We Obidients are coming to do the needful!

babesiosis:
Make Una they play again..same pattern of politics like 2023. Una never still learn.

You tinubu supporters run about in confusion because you all knows that tinubu is a one term president but you tinubu supporters pride keep deceiving you all.

Counterigbolies:
U can keep decieving yourself again like u did in 2023, reality will wake u up again in 2027

Your pride has deceive you. You tinubu supporters should stop relying on your hypocritical ways.

Tinubu is a one term president of Nigeria

Counterigbolies:
oga nnamdi kanu crime is different from Sunday igboho crime.

Accept that first before we move on

After accepting that, I will give u a million reasons obi is wrong

Oga, I accept that Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho have different cases, different charges, different contexts. Nobody is saying they’re identical twins.

But that’s not the argument. The argument is about _method_: negotiation/dialogue as tool for peace.

Yar’Adua negotiated with militants who had different crimes too - some were kidnappers, some were pipeline bombers, some were oil thieves. Different crimes, same table.

So yes, Kanu ≠ Igboho. But the question is: If govt can negotiate/release Igboho without trial, and can deradicalize BH fighters with different crimes, then why is 'dialogue for Kanu/IPOB' suddenly treason?

Accepting 'different crimes' doesn’t mean 'no dialogue for both'. It means 'tailor the dialogue/conditions to the crime'. That’s what Yar’Adua did for Delta.

Give me your million reasons Obi is wrong. But first answer this: Is dialogue wrong as policy, or only wrong when Obi suggests it?

Counterigbolies:
one thing about u people is that u are not wise, at times u keep quiet so as to allow a mistake to die a natural death instead of bringing it back to live

Niger delta militants aren't fighting for seccesion but how their region can be compensated for oil spoilage and environmental pollution in their region can be addressed which isn't a crime.

Nnamdi kanu on the other hand is for secession which is treason, those two are absolutely different.

People who said obi will b a bad president have won on this one again, how can u release nnamdi kanu n u won't release Boko Haram terrorists too?


He's saying he will negotiate with agitators, so u want to tell me u don't know ISIS, al Qaeda, iswap and co are also agitating for something?

So after obi has released nnamdi kanu cos that what u people want, what if the isis and co made their demand and it's that all the south east people should change to muslim, will obi also grant that?

Like seriously it's becoming clearer that obi will b a disaster as a president

Bro, let’s remove tribe and face logic. Silence isn’t stupidity. Sometimes silence lets anger cool so we can reason.

1. Niger Delta weren’t fighting secession: True, their core demand was resource control + compensation. But they were still armed, still bombing pipelines, still labeled 'agitators, enemies of state' in 2009. Yar’Adua didn’t say 'since you’re not asking for secession I won’t talk'. He said 'since Nigerians are dying, let’s talk'. The principle is: negotiation stops violence. Demand type comes second.

2. 'Kanu is secession = treason': Under Nigerian law, yes, secession advocacy is illegal. But prosecution and negotiation are 2 separate tracks. Nigeria prosecuted militants after amnesty if they committed crimes. Nigeria also deradicalizes Boko Haram under Operation Safe Corridor even though BH wants to overthrow the constitution. Govt separates 'ending war' from 'court case'. Obi talking about dialogue doesn’t cancel Kanu’s court case. It means 'address the grievance fueling the fire while court does its work'.

3. If Obi releases Kanu, will he release Boko Haram/ISIS too?': That’s slippery slope fallacy. Govt already treats groups differently based on context. BH gets deradicalization, not full release. Niger Delta got amnesty + training, not independence. IPOB dialogue would have its own conditions too. No president releases ISIS on demand. That’s fear, not policy.

4. Obi will be disaster': Prediction, not fact. Yar’Adua was also called 'weak' for amnesty in 2009. Today that amnesty is case study for conflict resolution. Judge leaders by results, not by worst-case scenarios we imagine.

So the real question: If dialogue saved Delta and is policy for BH deradicalization, why is it 'disaster' only for South-East? Answer that without tribe and we’re talking.

Counterigbolies:
show us a video where igboho ordered his boys to kill security operatives?

Show us a video where igboho said anyone that comes out on Monday should be killed?

You asked for video of Igboho ordering killings. I can ask you for video of Yar’Adua asking militants 'show video you didn’t bomb pipelines' before amnesty. He didn’t. He negotiated first.

That’s how states work: You separate 'prosecution of crimes' from 'policy to stop war'. Criminals are still prosecuted after amnesty if new evidence comes. But war ends through talk first.

If your standard is 'no dialogue until video proof of innocence', then Nigeria would still be fighting Niger Delta militants today.

So let’s debate principle, not play 'show me video'. Do you support negotiation as policy or not?

benardtotti:
Is it that you Obidients are eternally dull?

1. Niger Delta militants were not fighting for a separate nation .

2. Ipob wants biafra ,that is their agitation, so if you say obi who is meant to be the president of a united Nigeria accepts their agitation then he shouldn't be the president in the first place.
3. If you claim ipob should be given their agitation then boko haram as well can go ahead and receive full recognition of their agitation after all they are fighting against western education.

You guys need to always think logically before dropping posts.

"Calling people 'eternally dull' won’t make the argument stronger bro. Let’s break your 3 points:

1. Agitation type doesn’t change the method: Yar’Adua didn’t ask if Niger Delta wanted 'separate nation' or 'resource control' before negotiating. He saw violence + grievance, then used dialogue. The principle is: negotiation ends bloodshed. Whether it’s Biafra, resource control, or anything else.

2. Dialogue ≠ Accepting secession: Obi saying 'dialogue + review Kanu’s detention' is not the same as 'accepting Biafra'. Yar’Adua negotiated with militants but Nigeria didn’t break up. Jonathan talked to Boko Haram contacts in 2013. Talking to reduce killing is not surrendering sovereignty. If it was, then every president who negotiated was 'pro-secession'.

3. False equivalence: Boko Haram’s stated goal is to abolish Nigeria’s constitution + western education by violence. IPOB’s stated goal is self-determination via referendum. Both are illegal under Nigerian law, but the grievances, history, and drivers are different. Government policy already treats them differently: 'Operation Safe Corridor' for repentant BH fighters vs amnesty for militants. So 'if IPOB then Boko Haram' ignores how government itself has handled both differently for years.

If dialogue worked for Delta, why is it 'dull' for South-East? Address the idea, not insults."


So help me understand: Is dialogue the problem, or is it who is talking?

Yar’Adua Negotiated With Agitators, Tinubu Pardon Sunday Igboho_ Peter Obi To Negotiate With Agitators As He Become President Of Nigeria In 2027

OPINION / ANALYSIS: The Double Standard in Shaming Peter Obi Over “Dialogue with Agitators”


Peter Obi’s recent statement that he would pursue dialogue and seek the release of Nnamdi Kanu as part of efforts to calm tensions in the South-East has drawn loud criticism online. “You can’t negotiate with agitators,” some commentators say. “Releasing Kanu is weakness.”

But history — and recent government actions — tell a different story. Shaming Obi for proposing what Nigerian leaders have already done is not just inconsistent. It ignores the facts of how Nigeria has actually achieved peace before.

1. Yar’Adua negotiated with “agitators” — and it worked
In 2009, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua faced a Niger Delta crisis: pipeline bombings, kidnappings, attacks on oil facilities. The militants were labeled “agitators,” “criminals,” “enemies of the state.”

Instead of only military force, Yar’Adua’s government opened talks. On June 25, 2009, he announced a 60-day amnesty. Militant leaders like Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, and Boyloaf dropped arms, surrendered, and entered a Disarmament, Demobilization & Reintegration program. In exchange, they received training, stipends, and development promises.

Result: Pipeline bombings dropped sharply. Oil production rose from ∼700,000 bpd in 2009 to over 2 million bpd by 2010. The Niger Delta Amnesty Programme still runs today. Whether you agree with all its outcomes or not, the fact is clear: negotiation with armed agitators restored relative peace and revenue.

No one today shames Yar’Adua for “talking to militants.” He is praised for choosing dialogue over endless war.

2. Tinubu’s government has also pardoned and engaged controversial figures
Criticism of Obi often ignores what is already happening:

Sunday Igboho: Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, was arrested in Benin Republic in 2021 and detained. Under the current administration, he was released and has been moving freely in Nigeria since 2024. No trial. No public condemnation of “pardon.”

"Repentant” Boko Haram: Since 2016, the federal “Operation Safe Corridor” programme has deradicalized and released thousands of ex-Boko Haram fighters after “repentance” and training. The Army and government defend it as a security strategy. Some returnees have been reintegrated into communities.

If government can deradicalize and release Boko Haram suspects, and can allow Igboho’s freedom, then the principle of “dialogue + conditional release” is already established policy.

3. Why Obi’s proposal is not radical
Obi is not calling for unconditional release of anyone convicted of violent crime. He has said dialogue is needed to address grievances driving separatist agitation in the South-East, and that Kanu’s continued detention fuels tension. That is the same logic Yar’Adua used: remove the symbol around which agitation rallies, address root causes, and give peace a chance.

Facts that make sense:
1. Military crackdowns alone have not ended IPOB-related sit-at-home or violence since 2015.
2. Court processes for Kanu have dragged for years, creating legal and political uncertainty.
3. Every major insurgency Nigeria has calmed — Niger Delta, OPC, Bakassi Boys — involved some form of negotiation, amnesty, or political settlement.


You cannot praise Yar’Adua for Niger Delta amnesty, accept “repentant Boko Haram” as policy, watch Igboho walk free, then turn around and shame Peter Obi for saying “let’s negotiate with South-East agitators and review Kanu’s detention.”

That is not principle. That is partisanship.

If dialogue is good for the Delta and Borno, it deserves honest debate for the South-East too — without name-calling. Nigeria’s unity will be built more on justice + conversation than on shouting down every leader who suggests peace talks.

What do you think? Should “negotiation with agitators” be judged by results, or by who proposes it?

Adams Oshiomhole To Emerge as Senate President Should Godswill Akpabio Resign June 30th 2026

Political discussions in Nigeria have continued to generate debate over the leadership of the Senate and the role of the National Assembly in addressing the country's economic and security challenges.

Some political observers argue that if Senate President Godswill Akpabio were to resign, be removed, or otherwise vacate his position, Senator Adams Oshiomhole could emerge as a strong contender for the office due to his political experience, outspoken nature, and influence within the ruling party.

Supporters of this view believe Oshiomhole would be more vocal in holding the executive branch accountable on key national issues, including rising public debt, insecurity, inflation, and economic reforms. They argue that the Senate should play a stronger oversight role and engage more actively in scrutinizing government policies.

Critics of the current Senate leadership contend that the National Assembly has not done enough to address public concerns regarding the economy and security situation. They believe a change in leadership could result in a more assertive Senate that is willing to challenge the executive when necessary.

Others, however, maintain that cooperation between the executive and legislative arms of government is essential for political stability and national development. They argue that the Senate's effectiveness should be judged by legislative achievements rather than public confrontations with the presidency.
Whether Oshiomhole would seek the position or command sufficient support among senators remains uncertain. Any change in Senate leadership would ultimately depend on constitutional procedures, political negotiations, and the votes of senators themselves.

As Nigeria continues to face economic and security challenges, debates over the role of the Senate and its leadership are likely to remain a significant part of the national political conversation.

You go explain tire. Your grammar can not save godswill Akpabio who have refused to impeach tinubu.

victoryenergy:
Really?
somebody is dreaming here, pls wake him up and tell him, the only way to remove akpabio as senate President is through the ballot box, so just be preparing for 2027😊

Akpabio knows he only have this month of June 2026 as his last moment of presiding as Senate president.

manmade:
wetin this one dey talk

You go ask questions tire.

manmade:
Yes, you are totally right. President Tinubu can fight insecurity. It is one thing to expose and arrest the sponsors of insecurity, and another thing entirely to get rid of the ragtag armed bandits being used as foot soldiers.
President Tinubu has started going after the sponsors one by one, although it requires wisdom in dealing with them. They are not just ordinary people; they include highly placed members of society such as former and serving legislators, retired military officers, wealthy individuals, religious leaders, and emirs.
While the foot soldiers are being decimated daily, the pressure is mounting on them, and they are now facing a shortage of trained fighters because many of their commanders have either been arrested or killed. That is why they are increasingly kidnapping soft targets to bargain for or exchange with their members in custody.
This kind of kinetic approach requires time to achieve lasting results, hence the need to give President Tinubu the opportunity of a second term in office to deal with the problem once and for all.

No second term for tinubu because he could not use his first term to solve Nigeria insecurity and economy hardship.
Instead tinubu brought worthless policy that is fuelling insecurity and economy hardship.
Surprise ending awaits tinubu and Akpabio this month June 2026.

Kanwulia:
Alpabio was not elected. He was selected by TINUBU as he tried to escape EFCC net. Who is giving Akpabio deadline?😁

Can satan cast out satan?🤷🏾‍♀️

Surprise ending awaits tinubu and Akpabio before June 30th 2026.
Higher Satan must cast out lower Satan this June 2026.

yarimo:
Illiterate people everywhere can apkabio impeach a president or vice president of Nigeria?

You lack good sense. Learn to think before you rush to comment nonsense.

If apkabio disagree with lawmakers seeking tinubu impeachment then the impeachment proceedings will be impossible but if Akpabio agrees then lawmakers will vote and deliberate wether tinubu should be impeached or not.

If tinubu is wise, he should do what the yoruba elders said.

Bola Tinubu should put away his pride and arrogance away and kneel down on live broadcast on channel television and ask peter obi and igbos to forgive him for taking the turn of Nigeria presidency from igbos and Peter Obi from 2023 to 2027 as he will vow to support peter obi to become the president of Nigeria in 2027.

I believe peter obi might forgive tinubu but not all igbos will forgive tinubu.

Misterone:
Hahaha! Are you not ashamed of what you posted! So, since it's Obi, we should give him milk? People have said far worst things than this about Tinubu, nobody complained! Now you say one faceless group is crying about what exactly? Rubbish

The too much milk you yorubas are giving to Kenneth okonkwo will soon make him turn against you yorubas because too much of everything is not good.

YORUBA ELDERS WARN NDC YORUBA MEMBERS AGAINST SABOTAGING PETER OBI'S 2027 PRESIDENTIAL BID

LAGOS — Prominent Yoruba elders have reportedly called on members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) of Yoruba extraction to remain committed to party unity and avoid actions that could undermine the presidential ambition of Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 general election.

Speaking during a stakeholders' meeting held in the South-West, the elders stressed that national interest, good governance, and democratic stability should take precedence over ethnic, regional, or personal political considerations.

According to the group, Peter Obi's candidacy represents an opportunity for Nigerians to evaluate leadership based on competence, integrity, and economic vision rather than tribal sentiments.
The elders urged all party members to close ranks and work collectively toward strengthening the NDC's chances in the forthcoming election, warning that internal divisions could weaken the opposition's ability to present a formidable challenge in 2027.

"We must rise above politics of division and support any candidate who can unite Nigeria and deliver meaningful development," a spokesperson for the elders was quoted as saying.

They further appealed to political leaders across the South-West to promote peaceful campaigns, issue-based debates, and national cohesion as the election season approaches.

Political analysts believe that unity within opposition parties will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the 2027 presidential election, particularly as parties continue to realign and build coalitions ahead of the polls.

The development comes amid increasing political activities following the emergence of Peter Obi as a major figure within the NDC's 2027 political calculations.

Observers say the coming months will reveal whether opposition forces can maintain internal unity and present a coordinated strategy capable of attracting broad national support.

Almighty God Is Great!!

We Biafrans believes what goes around comes around. The south west region of Nigeria, the northern region of Nigeria and the British government that participated in the killing of millions of Biafrans children will surely face the consequences of their actions as nemesis and negative karma will surely avenge innocent Biafrans massacred.

All Hail Biafrans and may the souls of the departed Biafrans Heroes rest in peace.
