The rest of the world has had enough of Donald Trump’s buffoonery. He’s getting the middle finger everywhere.

Salewa97:
We are yet to see the evidence of the alleged US troops in Nigeria

The threat is not to actually send in troops but to force Nigeria to dance to Washington’s tune. Listen to the video and you will understand.

Very insightful analysis by the America professor. He didn’t even bother to dwell on the alleged Christian genocide because he knows that is not why Trump is after Nigeria.

Popular American economist and former Harvard Professor, Jeffrey Sachs has weighed in on why Donald Trump is threatening Nigeria with military invasion. He broke down all the issues causing diplomatic tension between Washington and Abuja in a 30 minute video he posted on YouTube.

All the soldiers involved in this show of shame shouid be identified and disciplined. Their conduct is a complete embarrassment to the military. Whoever gave them the order to go and be protecting an illegally occupied land shouid also be sanctioned.

Putting Bayelsa, Abia, Enugu, Delta on the travel advisory list is going too far. Those states are peaceful at the moment so I don’t see any justification for advising people not to go there.

Even at that, we are still struggling to fund our budget. The problem basically has to do with budgeting. They made very unrealistic projections at the budgeting stage and that’s why they have no choice than to borrow to fund the budget.

Going forward, we really need serious fiscal discipline. We need to make realistic projections at the budgeting stage and also ensure we merge our realistic revenue forecast to the projected expenditure.

Very shameless party. APGA won fair and square.

Having a disagreement with someone doesn’t make the person a thug. Everyone can’t be on the same page with you and it’s unfortunate to use your platform to defame someone who simply see good reason to support the governor.

Kasali is not a thug. He’s a well mannered and educated young man that I know very well. Sowore should learn to also take criticism. He should be able to take what he gives to others without using his platform to harass dissenting views.

Babablu Bulabu.. Afghanistan is a Muslim country. Their people were against USA. That's why they surrendered to Taliban as soon as USA left.

Nigeria is not a Muslim country. So there are many Nigerians who are willing to work together with USA to ensure the jihadist of sharia are eradicated.

Rubbish. Taliban defeated the USA despite the billions deployed to fight them. It has absolutely nothing to do with the demographics. Even if that is the case, Nigeria has more Muslims than Afghanistan. At least, 50% of our population are Muslims who outrightly don’t support the invasion. Again, over half of the remaining 50% are also against any invasion. So, over 75% of Nigerians are against the invasion so what’s your point?

The usual rubbish. How much did your darling USA spend in Afghanistan over a twenty years period without being able to defeat the ragtag Taliban? They had the best equipment, state of the art bombers, well trained soldier and good Intel, yet they got defeated by the Taliban. If it is that easy and simple, Taliban would not have chased them out of Afghanistan in the middle of the night.

Sonofgod1990:
Which arsenal?
Jokers

The same Arsenal that is currently at the top of the EPL table.

Liverpool is no longer a contender for the EPL this season. It’s going to be a two horse race between Arsenal and City.

beardedboy:
What is wahhabism in the first place? And how does it relate to Boko Haram?

Go and listen to what Boko Haram is preaching, that’s Wahhabism.

CyynthiaKiss:
Many people are so disappointed in the election outcome..

Anambrarians will now see Soludo’s true colour.. This man doesn’t mean well for you based on his antecedents.

Typical character of Okorocha, Joe Igbokwe and Benjamin Kalu

Yes, characters that reflect nationalism and cooperation as against bigotry, hatred and division that folks like Peter Obi, Morghalu, Odinkalu etc exemplifies.

DelilahMakinde:
Exactly, it's Nigerians that will suffer all this, the killings in the middle belt and SE will continue.

APC will be re elected in 2027
More taxes and more inhumane policies loading - policy that favor the dead US empire but squeeze the soul of Nigeria the more.

Go and look up the meaning of "Gun Boat Diplomacy "

That's exactly what's happened here.

Nigeria is on the path of economic growth and shared prosperity. All indicators and metrics points to a better economic future for the country.

If Mr. President is not on the right track, Trump won’t be threatening military intervention just to be able to deepen America’s relationship with Nigeria.

As regards the killings, it is already going down. With the impending collaboration with US, things can only get better as regards the fight against terrorism.

Finally, you can choose to see doom because Nigerians rejected Peter Obi. That’s your decision. It doesn’t change the reality of the growing economy. GDP is going up, inflation is down, prices of basic food items have dropped, our Naira is very stable, Foreign reserve is at all time high and we are now meeting our non oil revenue target. No sane person will look at all these and still see doom but then, obidients are not known to be sane.

beardedboy:
Boko Haram is not a "wahhabi islamic ideology".

Please stop mixing things up. Boko haram is boko haram. Wahhabi ideology is wahhabi ideology. Don't mix them up.

Boko Haram is an extreme brand of Wahhabism. Denying the truth only allow those terrorists to go Scot free. Stop defending them and call them out for who they are.

This OP is one hell of an obtuse character. He’s the most confused person I’ve ever seen on this forum. During the last election, he was everywhere pushing absolutely impossible scenarios that can lead to Obi’s victory. After the election, he bombarded the forum with very ridiculous legal jargons that were supposed to give victory to Obi at the tribunal.

Now, he has abandoned Anambra governorship election to come up with another ridiculous theory on how Nnamdi Kanu is why Trump want to deepen and strengthen relationship with Nigeria which was disguised as fighting for Christians.

Now listen and listen well, Kanu will be convicted and sentenced to prison on November 20th and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Your darling Trump is already negotiating common ground with Tinubu. Nigeria and US will reach an agreement and there will be no invasion.

Soludo has been re-elected, Kanu will be jailed and Tinubu will win a second term and then handover to a northerner.

Now, let’s go get the winning goal.

Omoreal01:
Here we go... I trust the thief Tinubu to give them whatever they want in order to guarantee the stealing.

There is no price that is too much for peace.

ElSudani:
And what benefits are these to Nigeria as opposed to people who mine and build processing factories in Nigeria.
Elon Musk's Tesla had the opportunity to be the first to mine lithium and build a factory in Nigeria, they refused preferring to export our lithium and sell us electric cars in return. Classic neo colonization template.

Trump and his MAGA mob don’t care about what will benefit Nigeria. They are simply interested in what will benefit them and nothing else.

Refinedbeing:
As much as there’s insecurity in Nigeria and the country needs help but USA is dumb somehow. Isn’t it funny that the two English speaking African giants they can rely on are the one getting threatened every now and then? First it’s South Africa getting accused of white population genocide, despite the SA president traveling all the way down to Washington with his cabinets(which includes the whites from opposition) and explaining himself and the situation Trump still won’t rest. And now it is Nigeria with Christian genocide threat. No one is denying everything but please dude stop threatening us abeg. This is looking more like it’s intentional because of their alliance with BRICS. USA is dump really. Egypt, Algeria, Morocco are all doing well too. Threaten them too small I want o check something.

It is majorly about BRICS and China. They are losing both SA and Nigeria to China and they are so paranoid about it. So, they want us back with them by force. Sadly, we will have to make concessions to them as we don’t have the military capacity to fight back.

Peter Obi ti lule piiiii

Putindbutt:
It's too late, the next time Trump will see Tinubu, he will be at BRICS addressing his colleagues.

It’s not too late. We will do a deal with them since that is what they want. We don’t have the power to stop them from invading our country.

As expected. Obidients exists only online. They made so much mouth against Soludo and on the day of election, they can’t deliver. They will soon flood this thread to talk about rigging and vote buying. Sore losers who don’t ever take responsibility.

Lordly13:
Bro, China's investment in Nigeria is not for Nigerians benefits, but for themselves, that's not considered foreign aids.

Whatever China built in Nigeria is always 70% Chinese benefits and 30% Nigeria.

But the US sends actual financial aid without an added benefits to them, that is apart from the other investments they have in Nigeria.

They sent actual money to African governments for economic development. (You can't send 300 to 400 million dollars in government aids for drugs or vaccines).

Too bad your government doesn't say it publicly, as they spend it all on themselves.

Which aid? Some of you are just so ignorant. The US does not send money to any government in Nigeria. What they do is to send over priced vaccines and HIV drugs. They then calculate the over priced amount and announce it as aid.

China built the Lagos- Ibadan railway, Lagos blue and red lines, Abuja- Kaduna railway and several other key roads and infrastructure too numerous to mention. So, who are the people using these asset? Chinese?

There is no big deal in sharing light snack for voters who are in a long queue to vote. I can’t see any evidence that collecting the gala is tied to voting any particular candidate.

PS: Oops! I just saw the original video on Twitter now and it is not just sharing of gala but also of N1N cash to influence voters. This is totally condemnable.

OKOATA:
President Tinubu denied, you can imagine your president denying. I pity the Christians that will vote this guy in the coming election. All because of 2027 he's denying. I pity una. Very wicked and evil leaders.

What we have is an unacceptable level of irrational killings but not Christian genocide. The killing in the north central are majorly over land and ethnic control. In the north west, it is over control of mining areas and in the north east, it’s Boko Haram trying to kill everyone that is opposed their wahabi Islamic ideology. So, Mr. President is in order to have denied the existence of Christian genocide in Nigeria.

blacksam01:
Tyla will still win the Afrobeat category.. babe released a bombshell recently that broke all records in the music streaming business in Africa...

I think David and Omah lay shouid win that category.

SeverusSnape:
Agbado boys trying hard to change the narrative. Wicked souls.
FACT: There's a CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE going on.
These pay per post people are trying to sugarcoat the whole thing.

Nobody is changing the narrative. What I posted is absolutely what he tweeted. It’s left for you to read in between the lines and get what exactly the Trump administration wants from Nigeria.

mohbadliveson:
By accepting same sex marriage in Nigeria?

No, this has nothing to do with same sex marriage. The Trump administration is homophobic so that couldn’t have been their priorities. Below are some of the issues.

1. Trade more with US than China.
2.Give US company more access to mining Nigeria’s resources such as Oil, Colbat and lithium.
3. Don’t join the proposed BRICS currency that aims to end US dollar domination.
4. Lift the ban placed on the importation of 25 items from America.
5. Reverse the 15% tax imposed on imported PMS.
6. Allow America build its much desired African military base in Nigeria.
