jmoore: Trump wanted to bomb the terrorists, not Nigeria.
Is Nigeria a synonym of terrorist?
The lobby by Tinubu was a waste of money. Trump and US lawmakers still believe that Christian genocide still exist in Nigeria. No lobby or propaganda can cancel that.
Riley Moore came physically by himself and visited Benue to see the largest IDP camp in Nigeria.
Tinubu was lucky that he wasn't deceived by his advisers who were shouting 'sovereignty' up and down. If he was stubborn like Maduro, Trump would have kept him in same basket as Terrorist.
Finally, it is the Onitsha main market screwdriver seller that played the best masterstroke here. Let's hope US troops arrival will offer a better fight against the terrorists.
Ko ṣẹlẹ̀ rí. Never happened when PDP prosperity policies ran Nigeria 🇳🇬 so well.
Never did any president invite foreign troops to violate our sovereignty and kil innocent northerners under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists committing genocide.
No bigger mistake than letting city boy make his expired Buhari president, just so he can have his own Emilokan turn to ruin our country further into APC extreme poverty shege, insecurity.
edet19892015: Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.
According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth, 1. The idiots, 2. The tribesmen, and 3. The citizens.
Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.
1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they sit for exams, they will cheat. If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.
In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.
According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.
2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.
These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe. It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.
When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen
3. The last group are "Citizens". These are people who like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits. They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams. In government, they won’t steal. They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.
Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".
Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.
A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation. And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.
But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.
Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life. Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

What are extreme poverty paupers doing in the midst of wealthy people
TheBedWench: The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood) is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).
This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]
The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.
Sirleo05: Ex prince arrested for misconduct in public office. Can this be possible in Nigeria ? Almost all our public office holder have one misconduct to another yet they are waxing strong ( untouchable ) , nothing they happen.

Will we get there by simply saying so and hoping that the passage of time will bring us there
Definitely not while we continue our tribesmen support of leaders looters, especially the worst ones in Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC.
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
nlfpmod: It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Andrew, who turns 66 today, has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein; he has not responded to the BBC's requests for comment on the specific allegations in relation to the release of millions of Epstein files in January
Investigation could be about more than the Epstein files
It's worth nothing that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has not been arrested for anything surrounding Virginia Giuffre.
What's led to him being arrested is information in the Epstein files around activities while he was a trade envoy.
Who will arrest Jagaban for destroying our country to the extent that he has invited Trump to recolonise Nigeria, after allowing him violate our sovereignty to kill innocent northerners while claiming to be looking for Muslim terrorists committing Christian genocide?
Maybe if Ayederu is arrested, our politicians will stop following his progreThief example and start employing well paid civil servants so we can have water flowing into houses like in London?
thewinning101: PANDORA PAPERS: Buhari visited Tinubu in corruption-tainted London villa acquired by Oyetola
Governor Oyetola, a relative of Mr Tinubu, may have sabotaged his own country by buying the exotic property as Nigeria made to seize it.
ByNicholas IbekweandTaiwo-Hassan Adebayo October 7, 2021 in Headline Stories, Pandora Papers Reading Time: 8 mins read
It was a meeting of two of Nigeria’s most influential politicians in London – President Muhammadu Buhari was visiting political kingmaker and senior member of his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
In July, the presidency announced that Mr Buhari was heading to London for an education summit. The office also added that the president would also see his doctors for “medical check-up”.
Coincidentally, Mr Tinubu, who had travelled to London earlier, was also receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in the British capital. So, a perfect setting for both men to meet was created.

Since your pastor have been taking decisions you're not comfortable with, how many times have you called him out on social media?
If you think Tinubu is not trying, come out and contest for whatever in your state first and let's assess your performance.
What assessment have you made of Tinubu's 27 years in control of Lagos, apart from looting?
Looting that impoverishes people and make them easily vullnerable to Stockholm syndrome.
fuckJones: (A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).
During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.
Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?
Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?
Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.
benardtotti: People are talking about bread you came to mention apc , are you sure you dont need deliverance?
I definitely don't need deliverance in the way that Tinubu and APC need forgiveness for their a-looter destruction of Nigeria with their extreme poverty shege policies.
Instead of the positive change promised 11 years ago, have they not made everu=ything worse than the prosperity in deregulation and privatisation PDP handed over?
“If I have sinned you, forgive me, as Nigerians.”

gigabyte13: Karma came in full dose for him in your lifetime You should celebrate that....
His mouth diarrhea will be fully treated by this government.
Who will treat Tinubu's mouth diarrhea that has plunged Nigeria into its worst since 1960, with so much debt in spite of growing rvenues from higher tax burden on the poor
How quickly are you organising Tinubu's full dose karma?
ElSudani: Lagos became smelly because it's economy was so good that millions of south Easterners relocated to Lagos thereby putting pressure on infrastructure and everything else.
What is Ayederu doing with the 100 times IGR growth generated by the huge workforce in Lagos?
If he is not employing well paid civil servants to achieve a tiny fraction of what Jakande did in just four years before Buhari jailed him for corruption, than what is Tinubu doing with the trillions apart from stealing it? Stealing it to bribe politicians and buy votes from deliberately impoverished and poorly educated citizens
Splashme: The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.
Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.
The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.
Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”
The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.
Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.
He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Sabadon: hope this goes a long way in terminating the dimwits
Will the employment of well paid teachers and other workers to make education free for all children along with the provision of other government services and utilities be a better way in terminating the dimwits
Do you know if this governor has employed up to 19,500 teachers? This is the number of teachers employed by PDP’s Makinde in five years.
What happened to city boy’s recommendation for 50 million soldiers to grow corn, beans, cassava etc?
It’s been 33 months since he hit the ground running cluelessly to raise tax burden on people without any commensurate improvement in government services and utilities.
TallNigerian: That's my President. NNPC will be reduced to the status of a mere Ministry. No more excess funds to steal.
Only PBAT can take the bull by the horn. The other Agulu guy and the Adamawa guy once asked my president to take a cue from Argentina. Today, Argentina is in shambles while Nigeria is progressing. The Agulu guy shamelessly deleted his Argentina tweets. This is what happens when you take advise from a lunatic.
Progressing with propaganda lies, which is how 20 million Lagosians ended up with smelling, shitty water due to 27 years of city boy stealing trillions annual budget that should employ enough civil servants to make basic services and utilities available for all.
Emzedz: Tinibu is a disaster in all things.. this old senile incompetent tinibu came to destroy Nigerians in all facets of life.. Tinibu never again
What of the NELFUND loans that have enough money to cover all students affected by the hike in school fees caused by city boy’s hyperinflation economy
In any case, if you are not working with other patriotic Nigerian 🇳🇬 people to unite the opposition, how can we not end up with Tinubu as life president?
Opposition politicians united around the brainbox of PDP’s 16 years of prosperity, driven by deregulation and privatisation policies.
…….especially since he has not been contrite enough to do restitution for the sins that he has not specifically listed.
Do restitution like the tax collector who Jesus Christ only declared salvation for his household AFTER he promised to return what he stole and wrongfully took from others.
Burob: Let me leave u in your misery, a lazy person will always have an excuse, keep waiting for Tinubu to come & rescue u.
Are you suggesting that your city boy idol is a lazy person who has an excuse for failing to do what he promised to 200 million Nigerians
What is your idol’s lazy excuse for failing to make a dollar N300 in the short term despite:
- saving $84 billion from subsidy removal that has made petrol expensive and made life unbearable? - claiming substantial growth in foreign reserves - claiming huge increases in trade surplus - hitting higher revenue target in August and bragging about ending borrowing - borrowing $3.3 billion from Afreximbank, secured by SPV future oil revenues, arranged by Elumelu’s UBA at an outrageous 11.85% interest rate.
anonimi: World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate
April 23, 2023
The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.
>>> >>> What is lazy city boy’s excuse for failing in this regard, just like his 2011 expired Buhari failed in the same exchange rate promise
Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised to ensure that the naira would be equal to the dollar in value if voted into office.
NAN reports that Buhari said this on Monday during the south-east presidential rally of the party at Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar. This does not speak well for the nation’s economy,” he said.
He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that he would ensure that corruption was tackled headlong if elected.
IamCookie: Oga, rest! For quite a number of years now , you have been practicing this politics of bitterness because Lagos State is associated with Tinubu, but the state keeps progressing and Tinubu is the President.
You no dey tire ?
I am the one who should be asking you why you no dey tire for propagandist liars posing as progressives, instead of just letting everyone know that they are progreThieves.
ProgreThief a-looter comrades who raise tax burden on the people, to steal instead of employing well paid civil servants to make basic government services and public utilities available for everyone.
Babasessy: The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.
It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.
So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history. Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.
He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.
In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.
In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.
Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.
Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.
The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off. But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.
I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
Thedon22: You are asking me the benefits of a good road? And you are educated? What is the primary function of govt? Is it not to provide good infrastructure like roads ? .
Which investors will come to your country if the roads are in a bad shape? Govt provides infrastructure such as roads. Can Obi use his money to do roads? If the roads are good, it enhances transport and business for everyone and hence more money for hardworking people. If you make more money you won't need subsidy even if it's #2000 per litre. Of course lazy ones will be waiting on Tinubu to make fuel free of charge. Meanwhile Ghanians are paying more for fuel and they are not complaining only some lazy Obidients. They better learn how to convert the new infrastructure Tinubu is building to wealth. That's how developed countries did it, not by encouraging laziness. Obi supporters are Osho-free people. Btw, when will Obi buy Tinubus corn as Ameachi did last week? Tinubu is a prophet. The corn they derided is what Ameachi was eating with zeal in public like hungry folks. Obis new found friends. The groundnut and Corn-eaters Party.
I didn’t ask you for the benefits of a good road.
What I asked you, which you have failed to respond to, is repeated below.
Are you able and willing to respond to the specific questions asked
anonimi: How many pictures of the beautiful road are city boys using to pay the subsidy Tinubu and APC are forcing on Nigerians because of the massive corruption in their oil sector
