You think Israel will dare to attack France? Rome fall was in 476 AD.. Rome no go for fall now oh!!!
Israel can't dare North Korea even with all of Europe behind them! The Arab world are just like Africans with no super powers support, that na why we can be easily manipulated, no carry your craze reach some counties for Asia oh!!! Even India is not a good partner to pick up a fight with as of now.

PoliticsRe: Osinbajo: Buhari Proved Public Service Can Be Done With Integrity & Transparency by Apel147(m): 10:20pm On Jul 24, 2025
All that ratings isn't just federal govt, it includes your state governor's and other sectors, was buhari also in charge of your State n other sectors?

Osibanjo was talking about an honest personal assessment and you are here making biased n bigoted moves.

But ye lot wants everyone to believe obi is a saint and ready to insult anybody who shares another contrary views because he is your kin, even though his successors have come out with facts to prove some of his lies! Even at that I wanna believe obi is a modest man and not a randy politician like the breeds we have around!

Buhari and Osinbanjo were a good blend and whether you liked them or not, you can't call them corrupt!!!



anonimi:
Just as APC change was actually shege banza, so we should not be surprised that Osinbajo means IntegriThief here.

Did Buhari not run the most corrupt administration, before ebilokan took it a notch higher? The man who said that Abacha was not a thief in 2008, a year after Obasanjo left office, having recovered billions of dollars?
HealthRe: Snakes Overrun PHC Badagry Where Babies Are Delivered By Candlelight by Apel147(m): 9:12am On Jul 23, 2025
You are lying and you obviously know you are!


After over a year of down tools, Anambra State Government employed medical doctors have finally called of strike.
According to Dr. Emma Ekwesianya, Chairman Anambra State chapter of Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), the striking doctors decided to pick up tools again because of the plight of the ordinary people in the societ.
“It is true, we have called off the strike. We have just signed the agreement with government about an hour ago. The Secretary to the State Government (SSG) signed for the government. A technical committee, headed by Prof. O.O. Mbonu was set up to execute the agreement.” He confirmed.
“We decided to take the 60 per cent offered by government because of our people. Government has been rigid and we do not want to continue with the rigidity of government. We are serving the people, not government and our people are suffering.”
Speaking further, Ekwesianya, revealed that a technical committee, headed by Prof. O.O. Mbonu had also been set up by the association to see to the implementation of the agreement with government sequel to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Peter Obi-led government on Monday.
Chief Medical Director, Anambra State University Teaching Hospital (ASUTH), Amaku, Awka, Dr. Lawrence Ikeakor also confirmed the new development: “Well I’m happy to tell you that the strike has been amicably resolved, even though, like you said, it’s been a prolonged one but suffice it to say that it has been resolved and the doctors have resumed work.”
“The call off was yesterday (Sunday). The doctors had some negotiations and held their congress yesterday, during which they agreed to call off the strike. So they resumed duty today.
They are in their clinic. Well, I was not privy to the agreement but I will say that our representatives were satisfied with the arrangement, hence they decided to call off the strike.” He disclosed.




ArcSEMPECJ:
It happened in Anambra State, when Nurses and other lower medical professionals felt they are equals with Doctors and started to demand for equal rights and payments, thanks to Peter Obi who came and dissolved their names , and made each profession to have their own Association and State payment accounts....

It was not a small issue as Nurses felt Doctors where over using them and Radiotherapy people, Everyone was just demanding for the same right after all, it is the same hours all of them do work.... 😂 Lols

HealthRe: Snakes Overrun PHC Badagry Where Babies Are Delivered By Candlelight by Apel147(m): 10:12pm On Jul 22, 2025
Doctors on strike for 13months! Can you imagine that ooo😌😁

This is not good.

Government should do something asap.

Buhari ran to France for his medical needs and checkup thereby neglecting Nigeria healthcare system.

Today tinubu is still running to France and London neglecting Nigeria healthcare just like buhari did.

quote author=PresidObi post=136157628]Goodluck Jonathan sold fuel to us for 87 naira.

He was a good man with a good heart

Peter Obi can sell fuel to us for 40 naira when he has gotten rid of all the evil people in the oil industry and oil marketing cartels. He can do this easily and the common man can enjoy this country as inflation will crash.

With 200 naira, you can walk into a good eatery and eat a very good meal and drink soft drink or bottled water to wash it down.

We all love you Peter Obi, happy birthday Sir.

God bless you.[/quote]

PoliticsRe: Nnamdi Kanu’s Threat To Break Up Nigeria Not Mere Boasting – FG Insists In Court by Apel147(m): 10:53am On Jul 19, 2025
1. Mischaracterization of “Self-Determination” Under the Law

Claim: “Self-determination is not a crime anywhere in the world.”

Rebuttal: While self-determination is recognized under international law (e.g., Article 1 of the UN Charter and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), it does not grant the right to unilaterally secede or break away from a sovereign state using force or insurrection, especially when a country like Nigeria is a multi-ethnic constitutional democracy.

The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, which Nigeria ratified, supports self-determination within the context of respecting national unity (Article 20).

In Nigeria, any move toward secession without constitutional backing (e.g., a referendum approved by law) is considered treasonable felony under Sections 37–43 of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act.

The Supreme Court of Canada in the 1998 Reference re Secession of Quebec noted that a right to secede only exists under colonial oppression or foreign subjugation, which is not the case with Nigeria's South-East.


Thus, while advocating for cultural autonomy or greater federalism is lawful, advocating or attempting violent secession is criminal under Nigerian law.


---

2. Incitement to Violence vs. Self-Defense

Claim: “Telling people to defend themselves is not a crime.”

Rebuttal: The principle of self-defense is indeed recognized both in Nigerian law (Sections 59–62 of the Penal Code and Section 32 of the Criminal Code) and international law. However:

Self-defense is personal and immediate, and not a call to arms or mass mobilization against a perceived ethnic group.

Public figures cannot legally issue broad-based calls for communities to arm or defend themselves; this is seen as incitement, which is punishable under:

Section 86 of the Criminal Code Act (threats of violence),

Section 41 of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act (incitement to commit terrorist acts or foment communal crisis),

And potentially Section 50(2) of the Criminal Code (sedition and seditious intention).



Even if General T.Y. Danjuma made similar comments, that does not grant legality to such statements. Two wrongs do not make a legal right, and each utterance must be judged on its context, platform, and effect on public order.


---

3. Allegations of Genocide or Targeted Attacks

Claim: “These people would have been happy to hear that Igbos are being slaughtered...”

Rebuttal: This statement is emotional, speculative, and defamatory, lacking evidentiary support. The Nigerian government—though flawed in many areas—has not officially endorsed ethnic slaughter, and this claim undermines national cohesion.

If there is any proof of systemic targeting, the proper legal channels include:

Filing complaints with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC),

Seeking redress in Nigerian or regional courts (e.g., ECOWAS Court).

Advocating for legislative reforms or ethnic justice through political representation, not armed struggle.




---

4. Legal Burden of Proof in Criminal Trials

Claim: “The Federal Government couldn’t prove its case... He who asserts must prove.”

Rebuttal: The principle of burden of proof lies with the prosecution in criminal trials, yes (Section 135 of the Nigerian Evidence Act). But this statement presumes an acquittal or dismissal, which is factually incorrect:

As of July 2025, Nnamdi Kanu’s case is still ongoing. Portions have been dismissed, but other serious charges remain pending, including terrorism and treason.

The court has ruled on procedural violations in Kanu’s extradition, but has not declared him innocent or the case baseless.

Moreover, Kanu’s past rhetoric and Radio Biafra broadcasts have been deemed inflammatory by many independent observers.


So, it is legally premature and misleading to say "there is no case."


---

5. False Equivalence and Dangerous Narratives

The comparison between Benue/Jos killings and Kanu’s advocacy oversimplifies complex security issues. While Fulani herders’ violence has been a real concern, two wrongs don't justify a third wrong — neither communal killings nor illegal armed self-defense.

The federal government has often failed to respond adequately, but that failure does not legitimize insurgent separatism or violent calls to arms.


---

Conclusion

This article attempts to simplify complex legal and national issues using emotional, legally unfounded arguments. While it is valid to criticize government failures or seek regional justice, the law does not permit incitement, secession, or the romanticizing of unlawful actions.

A lawful path exists for advocacy, reform, and even autonomy. But using incitement, defamation, and false legal claims undermines both the cause and the country.










Macphenson:
Self determination is not a crime anywhere in the world. Self defense is also not a crime. NnamdinKanu telling Igbos to defend themselves against Fulani invasion is not a crime. T.Y. Danjuma also said it.

These people would have been happy to hear that Igbos are being slaughtered by Fulanis the way they are slaughtering Benue and Jos people.

The Federal Government couldnt prove its case beyond reasonable doubts.

Like the law states, He who asserts or accusses MUST prove. Indeed there is no case.

PoliticsRe: Six “Never-fail” Rigging Tools In The Hands Of Nigeria’s Corrupt Ruling Class by Apel147(m): 8:08am On Jul 19, 2025
Possible Hypocrisy in the Write-up:

1. Calling for Unity While Dividing:

The message appeals to unity (“truth, unity, and vigilance”) but sharply frames the issue in partisan terms—ruling party vs. opposition, VIP protection vs. harassment. This framing may alienate those who do not align strictly with the opposition, contradicting the call for nationwide unity.



2. Condemning Manipulation While Possibly Engaging in It:

While the text accuses the ruling class of manipulating the system, it uses emotionally charged language (“thugs,” “stolen voice,” “corrupt leaders”) that could be seen as rhetorical manipulation. This raises the question: is the message fighting manipulation with more manipulation?



3. Advocating Truth While Offering No Balanced Perspective:

The piece condemns selective deployment of security and sabotage but offers no acknowledgment of the complexity of election logistics or whether any opposition-aligned figures may also engage in similar acts. By presenting only one side, the writer risks presenting a partial truth under the guise of defending truth.



4. Rejecting Complacency Without Concrete Action:

The conclusion exhorts people to “reject complacency,” yet there is no practical roadmap or example of resistance beyond awareness. Calling out hypocrisy without a clear commitment to ethical behavior or reforms from all sides (including the opposition) can also feel performative.
