PoliticsRe: Rivers APC State Assembly Forum Backs Fubara by Babatunjo: 9:40pm On Jan 08
Wike is going mad. This may be his end.

The chessboard is different now than 2023.

Tinubu was not president then, Fubara wasn't governor and wike was incumbent governor.


If Tinubu cook corruption case for him today, suspend him, buy all his loyalists, heaven will not fall.


The truth is if wike were to be either incumbent president or governor today, he can't tolerate what he's dishing out to others... His strategy is not how Tinubu will win 2027, but he wants to be the one Tinubu will negotiate with, not Fubara.

A sitting president plus a sitting rivers Governor will beat a Wike, they will prevail over him at the end. He doesn't have same leverage he had with the PDP 5 governors in 2023 again now

Foreign AffairsRe: Lessons From Venezuela (throwback) by Babatunjo:
Rubbish.

It’s only a matter of time.

Nigeria will be recolonised by the West again.. because they can, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
People love to ask why African countries fail after colonialists leave. Most answers hide behind victim mentality... blah blah blah.

What about our military, police, and internal security?
Our schools, universities, hospitals, and broken health system?
Our roads, power, and basic infrastructure?

Were colonialists or so called imperialists still in charge when all of that collapsed?

And let’s not even talk about modern technology... AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing. We are light-years behind.

Here’s the hard truth:
If you can’t succeed as a country, you will become a vassal state to a global power. That’s how the world works.

“Sovereign nation,” my #ss.

You can hate the West all you want... but the phone in your hand, the internet you’re using, and the antibiotics that stopped you from dying last week…

Politics2027: Tinubu Will Prevail Over Wike by Babatunjo(op): 11:00pm On Jan 06
Wike is miscalculating.

An incumbent president backed by a sitting governor will always outweigh the influence of a former governor who is now just a minister under that same presidency.

Power respects structure, not noise.
PoliticsSheikh Gumi: The ‘Man Of Peace’ With A Terrorist Rolodex? by Babatunjo(op): 7:55pm On Jan 02
Here's a brief history primer to understand Sheikh Gumi's reputation as a "man of peace." All verifiable...

- Son of a man (informally) dubbed the Ayatollah of Nigeria.
- Spiritual counselor for the convicted "Underwear Bomber" before attempt to blow up an airliner.
- Arrested and held by Saudi Arabia for 6 months for that... until the Nigerian govt begged for his release.
- Speaks with and for terrorists, demanding amnesty and government payments.
- Barred entry into Saudi Arabia in 2025 and forced to return to Nigeria after attempting a pilgrimage, for being too radical.
- After Trump’s Christmas attack, demanded the Nigerian govt turn away from US and work with terror sponsor states instead - Turkey, Pakistan and China.

And this is the guy they call a “man of peace”...

PoliticsRe: ISWAP Declares Nigerian Christians ‘Legitimate Targets' by Babatunjo(op): 4:39pm On Jan 02
SixSeven:
There's a news report I remember seeing on Galaxy TV, yes that one in 2006. I can never forget that scene. It was showing foreign officers in our land in Sokoto I think but in a deserted area and that scene captured how ungovenred Nigeria spaces were. And they said they will do some things in Nigeria. They had a satellite imagery and captured the zone. I wish I had recorded that scene because fast forward 20 years, what I thought was child's play is now a reality.

For Israel, they are telling us to keep quiet because ever since Shettima went to accuse Israel of genocide (rightly so because Nigeria has a non alignment policy and is against oppression), they hit hard on us.

There is a lot of compromise in Nigeria and I'm sorry it's not religious. It's power. They all use religion or tribe as cover up but at the top, the oppressors are very united regardless of tribe or religion.

Some people for instance think they are more Arab than the Arabs. Some think they are Jews. None of them think they are Africans. They will always be used by the foreigner to hold their claim.
I agree. Israel (via Mossad) and the U.S. (via the CIA) have been far more ruthless and bloodier than the groups they label as “jihadist terrorists.”

Real progress will only happen when we begin to see ourselves first as Africans... not fragmented into Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo, Christian, Muslim, and so on.

As things stand, a second recolonization by the West is almost inevitable. smiley grin

We are divided, technologically behind, and strategically weak.. and the world treats us exactly the way weak, disunited people are treated: without respect.
PoliticsRe: ISWAP Declares Nigerian Christians ‘Legitimate Targets' by Babatunjo(op): 3:20pm On Jan 02
SixSeven:
I want you to connect the dots. These things are documented online. Nigeria ought to have disintegrated but to man's surprise, they are surprised that our differences still keep us together. A house divided is easy to extract from than a house United.
I get your point.

But it’s still based on probability, not hard facts.

What is factual is that there are terrorist groups operating within Nigeria’s borders, and that reality has to be confronted... either by the Nigerian state, or by other means if the state fails.

The global order is shifting rapidly. The U.S. and Israel are already targeting Iranian-backed proxies (largely Shiite extremist networks) and Muslim Brotherhood–aligned groups (largely Sunni extremist networks) across different continents.

That context is what Netanyahu was referring to when he spoke about opening a new “front,” in Nigeria.

This isn’t just political. It’s ideological, strategic, and.. whether people like it or not, spiritual as well.
CelebritiesRe: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Babatunjo: 1:49pm On Jan 02
Jakumo:
Having spent enough years residing in America and in Nigeria, I disagree 100% with the opinion expressed by this rapper who claims that the USA is more dangerous than Nigeria. If the rapper had claimed that GHETTOES in America are more dangerous than Nigeria, his statement would be factual due to the prevalence of "Saturday Night Special" cheap and disposable $50 handguns in most American ghettoes, where the gang and drug culture has decimated generations of semi-educated black Americans.

From coast to coast USA, the odds of falling victim to gang violence drop off steeply as soon as one leaves the inner-city ghetto, and moves into any middle class suburb, even if that safe haven is just a few blocks from the ghetto's boundary lines.

In Nigeria, however, there is NO "safe neighborhood" because kidnappers and armed robbers can strike anywhere and any time, against any and all Nigerian citizens who cannot afford to have armed police guards. When driving along any highway in Nigeria, the risk of getting ambushed and kidnapped that is prevalent all over Nigeria, simply does NOT exist in ANY American city or rural area.

Unless one is wealthy and connected enough to charter helicopters for routine inter-city travel in Nigeria, literally ANY road trip could wind up becoming a one-way trip into hell. The absence of any such ambush danger along ALL highways in the USA , taken as a single factor of consideration, makes Nigeria orders of magnitude more dangerous than any part of America, including the Deep South.

More than likely, the American rapper visiting Nigeria spent his entire holiday in an up-scale area like Lekki or Victoria Island in Lagos, and on noting that there was no gunplay as is a normal occurrence in American ghetto night clubs, concluded WRONGLY that the entire nation of Nigeria must be safer than his ghetto "hood" stateside.
Sounds like a smart response.
But there are many people living in Nigeria who are better off than some people in the US, UK, or Canada.

There are people living well in Nigeria... and living well elsewhere too.

Once you rise to a certain level in life, your quality of life becomes largely location-independent, wherever you go.
CelebritiesRe: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Babatunjo: 1:38pm On Jan 02
True.

I always tell my friends: your quality of life is not location-dependent.
There are many people in the US, UK, and elsewhere living worse lives than a lot of people here in Nigeria.
Same thing the other way around.

We don’t hear of school shootings or gun violence in Nigeria like in America.

But in terms of economic power and opportunity, USA na baba.

Break up Nigeria now along religious lines to save lives
The meek shall inherit the earth” is not weakness talk.

- Matthew 5:5.
Meekness in the Bible means controlled ruthlessness.
You must be capable of violence before meekness has meaning. If you can’t fight, you’re not meek, you’re a harmless prey.


What many Nigerian Christians display today is suicidal Christianity - love without teeth, peace without the ability to defend it. Turning the other cheek when you can’t protect the first cheek is not faith, it’s foolishness.


Only the strong will survive.
And only the meek-with-power inherit the earth.

US, Israel, China and other world powers understand this. Even the terrorists understand this... But seems Christians don't get this

ISWAP released an image of one of the Christian villages in Adamawa State burning, alongside a statement saying that all Christians in Nigeria are legitimate targets, and they have an opportunity to "spare their blood" by converting to Islam or paying the jizyah tax to ISWAP.

SportsRe: Police Detain Anthony Joshua’s Driver Over Fatal Crash That Claimed Two Lives by Babatunjo: 6:46pm On Jan 01
Richtaiwo:
There’s really no need for this theatrical publicity stunt by the NPF. AJ and his fellow travellers are not toddlers on a school excursion. If the driver was overspeeding, it was entirely within their rights to rein him in.

The police would do well to focus on matters that actually demand their attention, rather than manufacturing tension where none exists and mistaking calm situations for crime scenes. A little less showmanship, a little more sense.
I learnt it was another car that was over speeding and recklessly overtook them that caused the accident.

Let's be mindful.

Nick Buckley MBE, a British man, saw someone nearly lose his life and chose mockery over empathy. That’s the issue.

Strip away politics, strip away race... the timing alone was wrong.
A near-death moment is not the place for sarcasm or superiority talk.

With a national honour like MBE, people expect maturity and basic human sense. What came out instead was cold, unnecessary, and avoidable.

No race and gratitude talks were needed.
No country comparison was needed.

SpencerForbes:
I'm going to stop the goalpost shifting right here. I'm about to take your first post and dissect it like a science project.



Hold up, let's swap 'love' for 'dating.' Also, the opening line makes it sound like guys shouldn't even think about dating until they've got wheels. That whole idea of 'hustle for a car just to find someone' is a pretty low mindset. If you get a car, it should be for your own life, not as a dating requirement.



Abeg how many times you Dey commot for night? Even people wey get cars Dey park for night. But I’ll still agree with this a bit. That’s if the Uber is for yourself.



Getting mobile needs to be about your journey, period. There's zero reason to focus on women here. Mentioning a woman just makes her look like a trophy, and that mindset really throws the dating dynamics off balance. Let's keep the focus on personal hustle.



You still brought romance into it. Notice your theme from the first line, cars and romance. that’s wrong mindset. But cars and self development is the best.

Just so we're clear: that girl you're driving around? She's likely sleeping with some guy who's totally fine crashing in a small, basic room. And get this—she might even be using your own funds to spoil him. Just saying.
I agree. If you’re a simp, a nice apartment or car won’t save you. But if you’re badboi, playa, sharp, socially intelligent, purpose-driven guy, and not chasing women, your dating quality naturally improves with these things. When your life is properly built, access to girls become easier.. without chasing. No capping.
RomanceRe: No Car, No Love? Naija Reality Check by Babatunjo(op): 9:39am On Dec 13, 2025
SpencerForbes:
Having a car just sets you up to be taken advantage of. And if your main reason for buying one is to snag a woman? No point. It should be about getting around or maybe business—that's it. Most guys can still get sex even without wheels, so women hopping in your ride is not an achievement. It’s like hitting the gym just to look like a Greek god for the ladies instead of focusing on actual health. Misplaced priorities. You've should have a hundred better reasons for a car, but if it's all about women, that cash is better spent on land, stocks, or bonds.
I never said you should get a car because of a woman.

But let’s be honest.. a guy with a car will almost always have a better quality dating experience than a guy without one. That’s just reality.

You’re starting to sound like some red-pill guys who act as if intentionality, planning, and structure don’t matter when it comes to dating quality women.
This isn’t about chasing sex or dealing with just anybody. I’m talking about women with standards.

As I said earlier.. don’t chase women. Instead, build a life that women want to step into. A masculine mindset is one layer; having a car, a decent apartment and so on, is another.
