And we are still pretending that the Sultan of Sokoto doesnt know about all these

Sultan that has been crying since the days of Buhari saying the Army is doing nothing.

Multiple local governments in Sokoto State and Zamfara are under the control of bandits for years now paying taxes to them.

They stole 1000 cows? Cows? 1000? As far as I know cows move at 1 Kilometer in 2 hours, because its almost certain they didn't put them on trucks. And no one could stop them?
No drones? No Aircraft? No check point? In a country with over 1 Million security personal: soldiers, police, paramilitary, Customs, DSS etc?

So was Trump guilty of plotting a coup too in 2000 by trying to de legitimize the elections he lost?
Is Obi guilty of attempted coup by insisting he won the 2023 elections? Will Tinubu try such a coup in 2027 as well if he thinks he is loosing?
Hmmmm.
Interesting legal perspectives.

Ilekokonit:
The recent Trump administrations dismissal of Judge Advocates Generals (JAGs) in the Army and Air Force was done by the criminally minded Trump so that there will be no one left in the military top echelon legally qualified to tell military personnel to refuse to carry out any illegal instruction or give nonpartisan military legal advice and ensure adherence to the law of armed conflict.

Trumps deployment of the national guard on the streets of LA and DC look like Trumps rehearsal for a total takeover of Democrat controlled states.

How Trump can get away with so much is a mystery to those of us who don't live in America and who once thought that American institutions had checks and balances to prevent the charade that Trump has turned American democracy and rule of law into within just 7 months.

Its a mystery that will baffle generations of historians.

AMINDA:
The uncommon Senator. It is obvious that this state of emergency has strained the relationship between Wike and the SP, as he was blindsided. Wike desperately wants the state of emergency called off even more than Fubara. Forget the sham of an LG election that took place in Rivers, the boycott of the election state-wide is making Wike to quiver. Either ways, the damage has already been done and Fubara still won't get along smoothly with Wike.

Abeg who are these people in the pictures o, are we safe ?

and restore all democratic institutions in Rivers state to avoid a backlash from the harsh American media.”

You really think the US Media cares about your shenanigans in Nigeria or the President?

The UN Meeting he is going, do they think it will get even one line of mention in the New York Times or Fox News or MSNBC? We think too much of Nigerian happenings as it concerns the world

Godjone:
Bad bad story all the time why If nor be bandits, e go be herdsmen. If no be herdsmen, e go be Boko Haram. If no be Boko Haram, e go be Iswap If e no be Iswap e go be lakurawa. If no be lakurawa, e go be kidnapers.

Now, the government are on a looting spree. The economy is very bad. The elites and top political office holders are traveling abroad transporting their loots and starshing them in foreign account and investment. The nation is bleeding and looking for rescue.

Which way Nigeria ??

Oga if you ask me, who i go ask? Infact hennnn....what is happening is beyond "something is happening "

Absolute nonsense. No disrespect to America, but when will African leaders especially Nigeria stop doing like beggars. President Tinubu's new plane alone Cost more than $32 Million.
Let me not mention the private Jets and mansions of dozens of ex Governors and Ministers. What do we need this for.

Did anyone notice that article at the corner. Book your copy of the newspaper for the next day so you could read in full about local government reform!

Maybe for the first time in Nigerian history we will see the conviction and jailing or execution of people killing others in riots /attacks.
Thousands of riots both religious and political; neighborhood/village wars, area boys mayhem attacks have happened in Nigeria leading to the death of tens of thousands of people.
I am not aware anyone has ever faced trial and being punished except when IBB arrested and had General Lekwot and his men convicted for reprisal attacks in 1992 during the Zango Kataf riots. Of course it was injustice as the people who first started the killings were not arrested.
Lekwot and co were eventually freed.

SmartPolician:
How does Forbes determine these things? I am 100% certain that these people didn't disclose their earnings to anyone because rich people, probably because of safety concerns, don't like discussing their wealth.

Given what the media has made us believe, there are people who are by far richer than these folks who made the list but they are silent kingmakers who don't want the world to know them. We have been told they are the biggest problems in our world

It's calculated strictly by holdings in public companies aka Stock Market, thats why Adenuga was not there for a long time until his companies went public.

Wait o. I thought he just went to Brazil recently or what country was that? What's really going on?

South African President has shown the world how to handle Trump. Don't shout, politely but calmly respond with intelligence...don't be ruffled. Go and watch the video of Trump and Jerome Powell, the Head of the US Fed Bank ( the only US official a President cannot sack).
The man destroyed Trump on live TV with intelligence

You got it spot on!

btoks:
Thanks for this. I hadn't heard this particular one for over 25 years so gives me nice nostaligic feelings.

It may have been the one in the film, not sure.

Maybe it is.
It was in 3 Parts. The star of the film went through life challenges, was framed and wrongly imprisoned. Movie was one of the best acted Nigerian movies I have ever watched. Soundtrack deserved an Oscar.

It still inspires me today .

POINT OF CORRECTION: Yoruba Actor die at 70

NTA productions and English shows are also Yoruba?

btoks:
RIP Chief Kanran.

Does anyone remember the film called Adun he acted in alongside Alade (RIP)? I think it was released in 1993 or 1994? I've been looking for the movie's soundtrack as there's this particular song in it that I loved a lot back in the day. was played when someone had gone mad walking the street, as I recall.

Doesn't appear to be any detail about the movie online.

Could it be the soundtrack " Mi o mo pe oju Ogun laiye, mi o ba ti mura sile lati igba ewe mi"

Ilekokonit:
I watched a video of him on Agbaletu TV on Youtube just 8 days ago where he said he was tired of being rich only in movies. This money sef - a friend once said that the more you pursue money, the more it runs away from you.

I thought he was older than 70 but anyhow he can now rest from this unfair world.

Interesting interview

IslamVIRGINS:
He attended this year Agelu mount!

Where is that? Please tell me more.

Vinnie2000:
I and Millions of Nigerians do NOT know him.

He is a YorubaWood actor I guess.😒

Not accurate. He featured on many English productions especially on NTA.

Expand your horizon bro.

femi4:
With his size, that role is more believable.

To think he granted interview few weeks ago on Youtube show..life is so unpredictable

Do you have the link?

okuta007:
cnn brainwashed , how are you?

CNN? I haven't watched CNN in years, it doesn't take a lot of brain power to observe events and make accurate conclusions

The problem in America, Nigeria and all over the world is too many people who are unable to understand that their fav leaders can do wrong and their opps can sometimes do right. We are still humans!

Walai:
You will just sit in your small house in one rural village, gulp everything the anti American media is selling to you and come online to talk about things you don't know.
FYI USA have the strongest institution in the world. Presidents don't run the country, institutions do with the American ideals as set by the founding fathers. Not like Nigeria where the President grab it all and run away with it

Lol. In my village!!!!. I have lived in America almost my entire adult life and I won't know what is happening?

Trump works for Putin whether willing or unwilling. Putins goal is the weakening or destruction of America from within.
Whats happening now has been in motion for decades.

Inasmuch as I dont support nor politically like Putin, he is the smartest leader alive, albeit evil.

Pope John Paul the 2nd and Ronald Reagan will be rolling in their graves.

Unfortunately for MAGA Americans, Trump has no loyalty to anyone who is either not loyal to him or is not useful to him.

Everything that made America great Trump has been willingly or unwillingly destroying since his first term.

Elections: All Elections are questioned in America like even school elections.

Press: Press that used to be the referee of America is now seen as partisan by all sides and fake news unless it's favorable

FBI/Police: Police is only good if they arrest people you don't like.

Science: All their opinions Dismissed by Trump

Sports/ Entertainment: it's now pro or anti Trump

Economy: His policies and every changing mind on economic issues is making America unstable.

The list is endless.

The last stand against Trump is the Military and he is doing all can knowingly or unknowingly to destroy that institution.

Can you imagine, at least 27 people sitting in the back survived the crash initially, but with no emergency rescue, onlookers couldn't help them open the door due to the smoke and heat.
May God have mercy on us.

Apcshit:
When a VIP is about to fly ,they held the air and grounded all flight including the ones about to land such that if there is shortage of fuel that's the end. I heard it o ,I am not sure

An Aircraft especially local one has enough fuel to go and and return and hold.
There is no way an Aircraft will be running out of fuel and forced to hold even for the President.

mirrael68:
Pilot error.
Some minutes after takeoff they lost an engine and were supposed to return to Abuja or had an emergency landing at the closest airport but the Capt, an American refused. They continued with one engine towards Lagos. That too packed up some nautical miles to Lagos. And they had descended too low for the glide speed to take them to the Lagos tarmac.

Are you for real. He refused? Let me check the report.
Sad though. Very sad.

Update: Seems you are right in part. Let me finish reading. I always read these reports. No matter where in the world a plane crashes, the report is made International.

800,000? Haaaa. Haba. Not trying to downplay the seriousness. But 800,000 That's more than the population of many cities in the world. Infact I doubt if the country of Cape Verde or that Caribbean country Tinubu went to have 800,000 people!

SenatorCharles1:
Let's even agree he's hale and hearty right at the moment. My question is, what is the SP doing in London?

Shouldn't there be a law that bars our public officials from seeking medical or whatsoever leave abroad?

Honestly we take things like a joke too much in Nigeria.
Imagine a Ghanaian leader going to check on another Ghanaian leader in Abeokuta or Senator Jordan of the US going to check on the US Speaker in Paris.
