The Okuama and Okolaba communal crisis that led to the gruesome murder of Nigerian soldiers has brought to the fore, the discussion about various non-state armed groups currently operating in different parts of Nigeria. We have Banditry and Boko haram in the North, Unknown gunmen in the East, Criminal armed community youths, kidnappers and Militants in the South south... But the South west, with it's enormous solid minerals and even presence of many foreign illegal miners, doesn't have any insurgency there.... 1 Like |

Tranquillity360: I have been following your comments and you obviously seem to have more empathy for those who killed these soldiers, than the already dead and mutilated 19 soldiers. You keep talking about how Nigerian army is bad, but not a single criticism of the criminal armed youth of the community that ambushed the soldiers. You keep talking about how the Nigerian army is to be blamed for the attack and death of the soldiers because they are not well trained and don't have intel, but have you not heard of American soldiers being ambushed and killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite all their good intelligence and weapons? You keep saying it's a bunkering deal gone wrong and the government is deceiving us that it's a peace keeping mission, as if you have another fact or contrary evidence... and if you do, post evidence online. You also keep insinuating that the military men (mostly northerners), must have done something bad to the community to warrant this type of revenge, but without citing any evidence too. ... At least the community should have posted what the soldiers did to them previously on the Internet... I don't know you in person, but from your comments so far, you are not someone to be respected. You are sounding intelligent but you really are not. These criminal armed youths are also those who have been responsible for kidnapping innocent family members of people in Southerner part of the country in the past, and killing some of their victims even after collecting ransom. Maybe it's their turn to die too, and they deserve no sympathy. The army should be tactical to reduce innocent civilian collateral (though inevitable), and kill as much of the criminal boys as they can. I'm a Nigerian and I don't hate any part of Nigeria. Have you ever wondered why banditry is in the North, unknown gunmen in the east, criminal armed community youths and militants in the South south, but NOTHING LIKE THIS IS IN THE SOUTH WEST (with solid mineral resources too)?, Ruminate and think about that..... Crime thrives with community support. 1 Like |

States in Nigeria should be run as a country. Each with it's own economy, police and military. Nigeria should be called United Federation of Nigeria 17 Likes 1 Share |

Should tribe even be a factor in appointments. Once you r a Nigerian and qualified, you should get the Job. If all the northerners Buhari appointed were competent, no body go complain... and we as a country won't be in the messy position we r today. She deserves the appointment. And kudos to the meritocratic government. 1 Like |

Opinion... Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime - Aristotle. Could this be the beginning of a revolution in Nigeria? It's not only military that can overthrow a democracy, hungry and angry civilians too can overthrow an incompetent democracy. Seeing hungry Nigerians looting the Dangote trailer today means the level of hunger in the land is already bringing out the animal and revolutionary nature of the Nigerian masses. If a spontaneous unorganised protest of the hungry and angry masses erupts, I doubt that even the military will be able to quench it. May God help our dear Nigeria.

Prof Yusuf Dankofa wrote this on 5th Feb 2024, 17hrs Read on : "But they said they are the whiz kids from lagos That the magic of lagos was going to be reignited at the federal level Eight months after,it is ebin kpawa What really happened Where are the heroes of lagos What is on the ground shows that the policy makers from eko do not understand governance The policy flip flop has created a condition of acute poverty Just like one commentator said,only those in the corridors of power are smiling The rest are facing armageddon,a state of calamity and brutality The politics of the land is toxic as only lagosians are in power, while the other "O" states are lamenting Cronyism and inner caucus have betrayed the movement Emilokan movement is so ordinary and bereft of ideas that grand old Buhari that spent eight years junketing is even perceived to be better. So,Emilokan is about the fulfilment of personal ambition Even the Imams that were shouting Muslim/Muslim tickets are busy gnashing their teeth They have now become wiser That the Muslim/Muslim agenda is a hoax Now they can't go for pilgrimage because they don't have N5M Where will they see the dollar Who dash monkey banana No politician is even visiting their mosque anymore Even Mr. Vice President has become a motivational speaker He is busy admonishing Nigerians to be of good behaviour since leaders who are to turn things around have lost ideas The ideas that were robustly generated during electioneering campaigns have vaporised into thin air Now,the singsong by the talakawas is hunger Our currency is as worthless as a river that ships cannot navigate You need a bagco cement sack of naira to seek $300 The economic gurus of lagos have been turned into ordinary finance speculators All those spotless suits and Oxford shoes are just abracadabra What happened to years of study at Harvard and Yale School of Economics Social media have been laughing at them Even Zimbabweans and South Africans are having a good laugh South Sudan,a country as poor as anything, is poking Nigeria Pls where is the Save Nigeria Group Where are Professor Wole Soyinka and Pastor Tunde Bakare that gave Jonathan nightmares Where are all the lagos musicians Where are the Kuti brothers Have they forgotten their fathers lyrics 44 sitting and 99 standing This is when the talakawa need them most Have they forgotten their Uncle Dr Beko Ransome Kuti Where are the offspring of Late Dr Bala Usman in this respect And where are the Professor Pantamis of this world That cried and prayed that the Jonathan administration should be changed And what has changed today And why are there no prayers to the Almighty that the poor should be rescued The Lagos politicians have failed the people They boasted that it is about brains and not brawl This is the regime of the most educated people in Africa What a paradox" as Prof exhausted his free oxygen today the 6th February, 2024š May Allah the Almighty forgive Prof Yusuf Dankofa and made jannatu firdausi to be his final abode.

According to webster-dictionary.org an "idiot" is an unlearned, ignorant, or simple person. I won't say I am the wisest person or you should take my opinion by force. These are my general observations and reason why I think Obidients (and most 9ja youths) are political idiots 1. Obidients and youth think it's only when it's few months to election that politics is played and they get to have that power to decide their future. They forget that politics is an active game for every 365 days of every 4 years, 24/7. No break. If you guys want to get it right, you must know it's not a seasonal thing 2. Obidients think it's not necessary to join a political party to have political impact on a large scale. They think as long as they can organise themselves on social media, organize some protests in some states, thay can have a revolutionary power for political change. They fail to understand that the political game (which their future almost 100% depends on) can only be influenced and won only if you join a party (as a registered active card carrying member) or organize effectively to form a new party. 3. Obidients think it's the presidential election that only matter. They don't even know their ward levels or local governments political structure. Some don't even know their state government structure. They fail to realise that successful political movement must have a strong grassroot structure or else it can never succeed. 4. Obidients think the person with the more reasonable and articulate argument deserves to win the election. They forget that even the most unqualified will rule them if he has more political structure, might and power, rather than better arguments, intelligence or intentions. The list goes on. May God bless Nigeria and turn things around for good. 1 Like 1 Share |

She wants you to expand and grow, that's why. When you marry, your wife will do same. When you help your female colleagues at work, they'll do things that will make you feel unappreciated. It's a woman's subconscious way of challenging you to grow bigger in life. I know the explanation is not straightforward but why not take up the challenge and keep on doing bigger things for her, hoping she'll appreciate it one day, while at the same time, never feeling bad for not being appreciated.. it's just normal with women. Appreciation and compliments most time are manipulative when it comes from women, you don't need it and shouldn't crave for it. Get used to not being appreciated by women. Your job is to keep growing, getting better and doing your best in providing for those who are in your responsibility circle, including your wife, mother and children. F#ck their appreciation. If you actually crave for their appreciation or concerned that they are not appreciating you enough, then honestly, it says alot about you than about them. |

The question won't generate the right answer. The truth is that making 100 million won't be through your salary... it'll be through investments, starting a company or some sorts... Whether you can do this successfully is location independent and JAPA independent too... it's equally achievable both in 9ja and outside. So the questioning of associating JAPA and making first 100 Mill was actually wrong. 5 Likes |

Not sure if the OP will get to read this, but I'll be blunt with the truth: A man who drinks to overcome his family problems will eventually ruin that family. The wife and kids will also suffer and it will affect their future. Life happens to everyone and I don't blame him at all for the financial challenges... However, he has 100% blame for a decision to start drinking to forget his problems.. it's a selfish and a lazy solution. If he's truly depressed he should confide in you and take antidepressant drugs and counselling.... then start making attempt to bounce bounce while you stylishly cover his unclothedness financially without letting third parties, including the children, your friends or family know (This is where most women don't do well) Most domestic violence and abuse are almost always linked to alcohol use. Almost always. Apart from you being traumatized, your innocent children are already being condemned to grow up with serious psychological trauma, that may eventually affect their personalities, future relationships, self esteem and so on... I'm not exonerating you too, especially if you are a nagging woman (I hope you are not, if so, stop it) which pushes most men, especially those with low self esteem to alcohol use which they now use to come and confront their wives and cause all sorts of domestic violence and abuse, usually in the presence of the children... So.. my very blunt advice is for you to leave the marriage. Let me repeat again. Leave the marriage very early. Even if he makes it back again, he'll use it to punish you. It's not because I like single parents or divorce.. but because leaving him now is a lesser evil. The foundation is already faulty. I am a man, but for the sake of your young children, your sanity and if you want to enjoy your old age, start strategizing now on how to leave.. and leave once your plans are solid. As for the man, don't hate him.. he's a victim of life plus his inborn personality.. stay in touch with him, send money to him when you can. And let your children have frequent and quality fatherly relationship with him to help their growth 2 Likes |

Alhaji Asari Mujahid Dokubo was live on Facebook many hours ago to clarify the reports which had always claimed that he has a private military army. The Kalabari kingdom's chief said, "people need to know that private military companies exist everywhere. I don't know how many times I will repeat this. We have blackwater, Wagner and the likes. As for me, I don't have a private army anywhere; what I have is a private military company that provides security." Speaking further, Alhaji Asari Mujahid Dokubo said, "in the world today, south Africa has the highest number of private military companies. In mine, we provide security not just for states but for individuals also. I am actually the Chief Executive Officer of mine." Lastly, Alhaji Asari Mujahid Dokubo said, "if President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu commissions me and my men to go to Niger Republic, we will go there and return victorious because we are not their match." What are your thoughts about this? 1 Share
