My question is, who exactly has been handling this case all these years? How can something this serious drag on since 2011 while other cases are pursued with full speed? It just shows the inconsistency in our system and the kind of leadership we’re dealing with.

You never know your country. We flatter to deceive.

All this traction is because of their inability to provide a convincing answer to the US congress man's question on the numbers of conviction so far. Which the congress man took very serious.

Should a foreign country make our government sit up in protection of life and property?

I hear some mention sovereignty. The international world has it as an obligation to interfere where a government kills or allow it citizens to be killed senselessly. Why do we have ICC?

Berankis:
This is where I find Nigerians very stewpeed! When a Lieutenant Soldier demonstrated act of insolence against a higher authority, an FCT Minister, you all applauded him because you didn't like the personality involved but you forgot he represented an institution of Nigeria at that point.
Now that your highly respected Army has sabotaged Kebbi State and the entire country (not the first time they have done this), you want to question them? How? They are not answerable to anybody, you people already placed them above the country and the laws of the land.
The FG Government now closing down schools for terrorists and failed army. Our farmers had already been shut out of their farms, let them also shut down the entire country, so that we can all sit at home for terrorists to take over.

Does your government and those in government behave as people under law and order. These military guys, especially the younger officers are part of the society, they see the decay, they see the behaviour of our so called leaders, they see the inpunity and humongous corrupt practices. They signed to lay down their life for the country, WHICH POLITICIAN CAN LAY DOWN HIS/HER LIFE FOR A NIGERIAN OUTSIDE THIER NUCLEAR FAMILY? You know the answer. So handle them with some respect irrespective of your position. These politician by their ill mannered leadership created the social order we have today.

The FG will close down schools, one, because the military is stretched, two because the government don't have the political will to solve the problem. We have the money, we have the resources, it is a willing thinking head that is left.

The President during his campaign mentioned huge recruitment into the military, has he done it? We are facing existential problem right now, does it look like the presidency is doing anything different until Trump's "Gun-a-blazing" comment, then they started running around like headless Chicken. A government without foreign policy? We need to do better abeg.

If I were Jonathan, I'll be weary of watery praises from snakes in human form. None of them today would have done what the gentleman did especially this one in power who could not acknowledge like president Yar'Adua did, that the election that brought him in had flaws and promise stronger reforms. The man don lock up. Tinubu is over rated.

WizardOfNG:
Your 'agent provocateur' mischief cannot work with me. Ttalk is an intelligent poster I like reading from as he is progress and solution-driven.

That doesn't not mean I must agree with his opinion always. This is what set's Yorubas apart from you people who only see personalities and not ideas

My point remains that USA will never be allowed to invade Nigeria arbitrarily under the claim of "Christian genocide" which sets the dangerous precedence that militarily mighty nations, acting on whims and caprices, can invade other sovereign nation, with their own democratically elected government, not threatening their interest directly or indirectly.

That sort of action will precipitate a world war. What should happen as the optimally desirable solution, if all sides are sincere, is that Nigeria must rightfully state there is no "Christian genocide" ongoing in Nigeria and then seek to formally engage those genuinely concerned about our plight to give us assistance to overcome killings more complex and diverse, than religious, in nature..

What you SE haters of the "Zoo" want is forceful and illegal invasion of Nigeria you wish to precipitate the violent end of our nation.

Same as your evil and vengeful messiah Kanu, who nevers cared about the atrocities of SARS, wanted to use #EndSARS protest to galvanise chaos he hoped would set the "Zoo" on fire.

Nigeria must stand her ground to tell our truth sure in the knowledge that Trump and his right wing lunatic do not have final say in any any potentially destructive hell that will be unleashed on Sub saharan Africa with any illegal and misguided military invasion the African Stakeholders are not carried along in.

If a US Congresswoman Sara Jacobs can say what is show below indicating worry for Nigeria over the "reckless" threats of Trump, that will not be sanctioned by Congress, then what makes you so supportive of illegal invasion of Nigeria if not Kanu-like hatred of the "Zoo" you people wish to fall by any means necessary?

Having read alot from those who support this government due to one reason or the other, they all try to paint the picture of Trump invading Nigeria with troops, which I think is wrong narratives, and an attempt to gaslight those who speak against continued killings in Nigeria.

The said diplomat who countered the Canadian woman also provided an unbelievable data which in advanced countries could earn him a sack. I see how that was down played by his supporters, meaning that he also lack a good knowledge of the killings.

Watching the event in US yesterday, no US congress man or woman agreed of boot on ground but on designating the country a CPC country with the intention to target the terrorist and their enabler.

It a shame that supporters of this government will rather prefer to cover up this killings and try to gaslight those who try to bring it to limelight. Their ignorance to the fact that this issue of extra judicial killing has seen US designate Nigeria a CPC country during Trumps first coming which Biden removed.

I crimp when I see commentators deflecting the real issues because their families are not wiped out by this islamic militias like the lady testifier yesterday. Do you think the lady care about how helps comes, whether by CPC or boots on the ground.

This attitude of pointing fingers and throwing up conspiracy about Trump's Intention is self defeating. This attitude of saying we will solve our problems ourselves is self indicting, how many have we solved in the past? Definitely none, for an issue that has lingered over 15 years.

Instead of us to tell ourselves the truth that our government does not have the political will to eradicate this terrorism because of politics, we are busy helping them down play facts and figures.

It is well.

Finquas:
It is finished ... The agbado crooner should simply resign now

Who assumes leadership, Shettima? That one go worst pass Buhari and Tinubu combined.

Maxymilliano:
Reverend Father Bobbo Paschal was also kidnapped by terrorists on Monday in Kagarko, Southern Kaduna and has been murdered by the terrorists.

He was killed in the early hours of November 19th, 2025.

This government never had any sincere plan or strategy on security but politics. The recent comment from Trump jolted the presidency, they started running around the world to deviate the accusations.

Tinubu understands the power of America to cause regime change, Jonathan Knows. So, Tinubu will do or seen to do anything to avoid Trump. But, he never will hit the nail straight. Someone who went to Benue only to say rubbish and the king corrected him.

He is very correct on this. Those set were different in leadership and life style. The ones there now claiming Awoist are pure political bandits. Grab and share to themselves and cronies.

Segun Awolowo was truly a complete gentle man. Rest in peace.

Make Yoruba and Igbo dey fight for social media. One thing I know for sure is Nigeria is 1000 ways of how not to be a country.

Na Yoruba turn to lead today, e go reach everyone.

OgaTheTop2:
These Oyinbo people are not serious. They easily scammed by people in government..

Watching the congressional hearing and the submissions of the participants, it's likely Nigeria will place on the CPC list. However, they are willing to partner with Nigeria, if the Nigeria government is sincerely willing to eradicate all forms of terrorism and banditry around the country.

The key issue here is the government willingness. It's surprising that Tinubu cannot pick his phone and call president Trump and put the cards before him. Was is be because of gun ablaze comment?

The truth is Buhari was never sincere in curbing terrorism due to his entho-region sentiments, what about Tinubu? What is stopping him showing great commitment to eradicating all forms of terrorism? Do we have to wait for American focus on the government for our government to protect the life and properties of our people?

For sure, those in government are only afraid of the effect of designating Nigeria a CPC country on their personal and private life and properties.

Knowing who we are we go still buggle this US arrangement. We no do am before?

Did Awolowo also deserved death sentence?

yarimo:
INEC is still seeing damagun as national chairman not turaki, damagun and anyanwu must sign it

The most important mistake Anyanwu did is signing the letter for the convention, that was why he claimed it was forged, when he was actually compel to sign the document in the presence of PDP big wigs. He better go and make peace with his shadow.

tuborme:
To be fair. Kanu played into the hands of the Terrorist government. He had a good course but his arrogance brought him down. They used Ikpa to commit crimes upon his head! The APC government is terrible. But Kanu is a proud man. His prophesies are coming to pass but he is arrogant. But he is suffering because he is Igbo.

Every man has fate with God.
Chief Obafemi Owolowo was charged for treason and imprisonment in Calabar.
But the one who has power over the destiny of men created a way to free him.
Let be still and watch how things play out. God is not done with MNK as he was never done with Chief Awolowo.

Terrifying Livestream From CAC Church In Eruku Town, Kwara State, Captured The Final Moments Before Gun-Wielding Terrorists Attacked During A Church Service. Several Worshippers Were Killed, While The Pastor And Others Were Abducted: pic.twitter.com/g3DjMzrrxY

statistics added to what the US have.

The fight against terrorism requires the discard of politics and elections politics.
Accept help from the US. Agree to terms beneficial to both sides without surrendering our national sovereignty.

'He identified multiple bottlenecks, including excessive toll points, a malfunctioning e-call-up system, favouritism and racketeering, abuse of authority by senior officials, and misleading narratives pushed through truck unions, as key contributors to the persistent logjam."

Good point he made.

But, Lagos port has always been congested. Any policy that enables Lagos to be the only functional port for goods going to all part of Nigeria should be discouraged. Lagos state is building additional ports for a reason, isn't it? What reason?

Government should be deliberate in evenly spread development, let all part of Nigeria exploit their comparative advantages.

Ikaeniyan0:
Do you just sit in your house and search the internet for bad news in Yoruba land? 🫤

It is a warning that something evil is coming closer home. It is only a person of little mind that ignores real warning just because it is giving by self perceived enemy. Intelligent people keep aside their differences when their is a common enemy. When you see those from the SE amplifying the killings in Benue, know it today that is for self preservation. If this guys over ran Benue, where do you think is next. Be wise.

Wetin goat find enter inside where lions dey do meeting? Suya don land be that.

There is always the red line. There comes a time when everyone one have to choose which side they belong to. Ortom, by his antecedents and affiliation to Wike prior and after the 2023 elections has no business being there. He didn't attend the convention, so what is he doing there, a mole?

If PDP wants to restore democratic principles within and outside the party, it must purge itself of all persons with divergent principles and lack of character and integrity. You are either committed to the party or seek for a space else where. That is the way it should be with all the political parties.

I am still expecting Anyanwu to proof his signature was forged.

HacheNoire:
Their is no way that you will write the downfall of PDP and not include the greed of Atiku, and the impatience of Peter.

That missed opportunity might never come again!

So now that both persons have left PDP, especially Atiku why is PDP still in turmoil? Wike had state funds and is able to get some Governors on his side including Makinde. When Atiku outplayed him, he went to town crying and vowed to work against the party.

The blame should go to all the members of the party who failed to follow their own constitution but twisted it to favour Atiku at that moment. The also failed to read the mood of the country after APC gave us disastrous Buhari government.

Will a Wike be a good president, I doubt it. He does not have the right temperament. He will abuse power absolutely.

Flangelo12:
Name one terrorist activity on US Soil carried out by an Islamic organisation in the last 5 years.

It's easy to label people, my life experiences has taught me that you must inspect all claims.

That they have been quiet does not mean they are not there.They are waiting for the numbers and moreover America don't forgive terrorists.

Is there any Islamic country in this world that offers the kind of freedom that exist in Christian America. Remember America is founded in Christian principles.

If the organisations objectives is contrary to their society's generally acceptable norms and objectives, then I wouldn't fault the state of Texas. What are the affiliate of these organisations? I think the state is being careful with the expansionary objectives of those groups. It is well known fact that where ever the Muslims is able to get a sizable number, they begin to demand for some rights alien to that society, peaceful initially, the go violently when those demands are not met.

jmoore:
There is no government in Nigeria.

Tinubu and Shetima, was never prepared for leadership but to play politics.
New I see why APC is called Islamic brotherhood Party

Obaofaba:
How long can he be there?

Perhaps that's the new oyo state government house.

Wike through Anyawu is winning in court if they can proof the forgery allegation.

The court will do justice.

There is no forgery, the man was simply forced to sign the letters in his office and he did it. He knows he cannot claim duress, because the power to convene or communicate such letters is with the chairman, who simply gives instruction to release communications. Is the secretary higher than the Chairman? If you have been in a structured association, you will understand.

creolehunt:
African politicians are number one in setting dangerous precedents. They don't care about accountability nor public trust nor the apparent concerns with regard to conflict of interest and nepotism.

Watch data boys come to ask you I'd the appointees are citizens or if they are not qualified.

I mean, it's in Nigeria that a government spokesman said "if e reach your turn, travel with your enemies" and a bunch of misfits hailed him.

This how African politicians create political problems in their countries.

Jayhome24:
No they are not Nigerians we don't know where they came from.

Sorry to tell you this.

So who are Nigerians? And makes one s Nigerian?

SatoshiX:
There are some unstable elements in this forum. Yesterday they were LP, today ADC, Tomorrow, PDP. Can y'all take a struggle and stand? 😂 😂 😂

I don't think it is about party for me, it is about right and wrong. Our democracy shouldn't deviate from it tenets. How can one man give a party the condition of not presenting a presidential candidate in a multi party democracy and expect everyone to keep quiet. To what end?.
Politicians better be careful, history do reoccur to those who learns nothing. This was how operation weteyee starting and gave way to military incursion.

Jayhome24:
What is so surprising in all these is 95% if those who carried this matter on their heads like soldier-ants are those busy body obidient who will never mind their business and be doing cho cho like cat that fell inside water.

Are your so called Obidients not Nigerian?

Charly68:
Honestly this sad news choke me ...it is so sad that we could lose such a fine officer .. this nonsense must stop

There is nothing we cannot loose in this geographical area called Niger-area. We just lost world cup participation bragging right. Human life here has less value than salt as often used in economics.

It is a shame. Where is Shityman, the veepee security, Who said he will handle security, while his boss will handle economy. Right now both sectors are under attacks. Olorun ma gbawa o.

Guy is seriously humiliated. Welcome to the true world. Now you should have clarity of mind and purpose learning from this event. No be everything we see for movie, we go display for our environment. I think this experience will make you a better man.

During his campaigns President Tinubu said he was going to employ 5 million youths into the military. So, what is happening now sir?

Wickedtruths:
In 2018, Wike was poisoned at the campaign secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and experienced liver and kidney failure as diagnosed in a hospital in Beirut, Lebanon.

There are some people in PDP that Wike has issues with. It is not politics, it is personal.

They are the ones jumping from party to party today and looking at re-entering PDP if Wike is out.

So says Wike, Let him name those who poisoned him. So he is even empty to be poisoned like that, if it was true. Considering his Agidi nature, one will assume he is fully fortified.

IGBOPROMISE1:
The way you people like taking liberties with editorialising reports just so you can give the impression that PDP are still divided and factionalised! How did two lilly-livered governors saying they were not part of the decision to rightfully expel the moles and turncoats in the party now become ‘revolt’!?

Who control the news house control's the narratives. These are paid jobs

Throwback:
It is partly a mindset problem.

Give some of them well paid jobs in Nigeria, they will rather choose to flip burgers and drive trucks abroad, just so they can pose in a winter jacket and head warmer.

Is that what you think?
Life is too short to be wasted in suffering. You don't begrudge those leaving the country for better standard of living. Most people who felt secured at their level of income in the past don't feel same now, they are now struggling to balance the books.

Is there a politician whose children is not schooling abroad? What about health? What about the environment? What about house budget, is it stable?

Have you noticed how expensive local flight is in Nigeria now? I remember paying N15k for a trip to calabar many years back, today nko? We have been forced to travel by road, with our heart virtually in our hand, you know why? Insecurity.

It is the quality of life that drives people away from the country.

OkanlawonB:
Please, lets stop being naive, has America finished solving her own domestic problems of massive homelessness ( more than 700k American are homeless) and large scale fatal gun violence.

How many is homeless in Nigeria? What is our population to US population?
