Actions have consequences. Justice served.

It is not true. Despicable rhetoric from a senator.

This Northern region is a problem. Is it the porous border? Radical ideology? It is susceptible to terrorism and that is where you have the majority of foreign funded NGOs in Nigeria.

You have military officers guarding empty lands in Abuja, while the territorial integrity of Nigeria is under threat. Do we have a military? We have to restructure the military. Retired officers should not have any control of serving officers. The President needs to make significant deployments of security personnel to these hot zones. All these army chiefs we have, are they competent? Why does it look like nothing serious is being done? It is a pity.

Mtcheww. Justice was done. We have important issues to be concerned about.

Hypocritical U.S. You don't dictate national security issues to another country. Imagine if Nigerian government officials were making this comments about internal issues in the U.S. They should stop meddling in our internal affairs.

Still pretending to police a world they are ruining.

Now, that the Islamist are about to takeover Bamako, do your maths.

What exactly were the French getting in return?

What many here fail to understand is that the French are actually giving more than they are taking.

These Francophone are a projection of power by France, and nothing else.

Do you know the last time the CFA was devalued? What exactly are the French benefiting in Mali? Putting boots on ground is very expensive.

I calculated that every soldier the sent the US sent to Iraq or Afghanistan equated to $1m in spending. When the US had about 130,000 soldiers in Iraq, it was spending around $130bn yearly. For the French, let's put a figure of $500,000 per soldier. Just placing 5,000 soldiers on ground would cost the French treasury about $2.5bn a year,

Macron was dumbfounded when the generals kicked out the French army. It made no sense.

Instead, it turned to Russia for help. Putin, whose rrmy is bugged down in Ukraine agreed to take the French place. Was Putin doing it for free? What was Putin getting in return?

Your arguments go against reason. If it was costing them so much and they were benefiting nothing, why were they still there? Were you born yesterday and trying to learn how the world works? Even what you dismissed as a mere projection of power is very important in this world of perceptions. Image is everything. They were there for much more.

Stop this Western press tour. I understand the aspect of refuting falsehoods, but the government has done enough. The U.S. has no right to threaten us, so that is not even something to debate.

President Tinubu has to do his job or resign immediately. This issue of insecurity is not beyond our control. It is not. The president is letting the country fall apart. A country of hundreds of millions, if Tinubu can't do the job, he should resign. There are others begging to do it.

Leave the battle of narratives with the U.S. and foreign media and get to work. When some of us were calling for scrutiny of the foreign agents here funding terrorism, no one did anything. USAID and their likes are done funding them or are they?

This whole issue with the U.S. is evidence that these embassies are not conducting diplomacy. The Nigerian Senate could not conduct a simple investigation of the claims of terrorism being funded. Better close all these embassies. You don't understand the depth of your problem.

How embarrassing. We don't owe the U.S. or any country any explanation. This practice of going to Washington, D.C. to explain our internal issues to U.S. politicians is a disgrace that won't result in anything meaningful. Trump is only interested in a show, while the U.S. deep state created this problem. What is our government afraid of? The illegal threat of the U.S. or refuting false claims? You can't appease illegality. If it is the latter, we have done enough. You don't have to be on U.S. soil. Nigeria is a sovereign country. We need to get our priorities right. Do your job and stop embarrassing us. If the government is helpless, tell us.

The ungrateful wretches are paying a big price today.

The French placed troops on your soil for free and were assisting you fight these Islamists. You now kicked them out.

Many here and elsewhere were cheering that decisions saying that Mali was standing up to their colonizers.

I don't know which was worse : Americans not wanting black americans to fight in both the First and second wotld wars or the Mali generals kicking out the French army?

Nothing is free. Don't be naive.

Let him serve his time.

That is a fact.

As the court pleases. A well-considered judgment by his Lordship.

Justice Omotosho did his job. 20 years was him showing mercy the convict did not deserve. The law is clear. When you have a bad client and a bad case, there is nothing you can do. Kanu should do at least 15 years before anyone starts talking about pardon.

The unruly behaviour of Kanu in court won't be tolerated anywhere in the world. No remorse at all.

Found guilty on seven counts. No reasonable person expected otherwise. Justice served.

As expected. Joke of a party.

seunowa:
This is the reason I blamed Tinubu because he has not done what is supposed to be done. Give Nigerians state police and state resources control may be 50% to the state and 20%to the local governments. Every state has her own security challenges and home grown solutions should be allowed. Everyone knows that insecurity is most prevalent in the northern Nigeria is fueled solely by Islamic indoctrination. Why should insecurity in zamfara kebbi and Bornu affect someone in Lagos, port Harcourt or benign city,Since they're in love with killings and maiming? This is sharia what breeds......,.

State police won't change anything. Just another avenue for politicians to abuse their power. What resources do you still want them to control? The one they are getting now, how well have they utilized it? They are simply not ready to work for this country.

Calling on the cause of your problem to be the solution. Inverted world.

Old news!

There's rainfall in Iran now.
Despite American weather tampering over Iran, God sent down rain to Iran.
Zionists jubilation was short-lived.
Everything about Zionists is short-lived.

Most people are not aware that the U.S. has this technology and capability to cause "natural disasters." They even do it to their own citizens for whatever reason known to them. Demonic country.

BigYash:
Where is the commander in chief in all of this?

When an officer was sent to do gateman work and you guys were applauding, you didn't need the commander in chief then. They should also deploy them to do their actual work.

yarimo:
This is where Lt yarima need to go and show order from above

You won't see him there. When he is not busy doing gateman work, he is gallivanting around Abuja with covered plate number. Tomorrow, they will make him Chief of Naval Staff.

While terrorists are killing your people. Misplaced priority. Continue joking with your lives.

So a Brigadier General was actually killed? If it was done by some random criminals in some villages, the military would have raided those communities and innocent people will not be spared. It is a pity.

PDP does not know what democracy means. Joke of a party. Makinde and his gang only came to Abuja to cause trouble. Nothing more.

U.S. help can only come with the consent of Nigeria. Who are those sponsoring terrorism? Which country owns the defunct USAID? All the military chiefs, even those retired are now quiet, including the Minister of Defence. They only know how to support the illegality of their errand boys like Yerima. When it comes to protecting our territorial integrity, you won't see them. Terrorists have turned Nigeria to their own Bahamas.

SpencerForbes:
If he delivers, I don’t see anything wrong. Experience beats educational background anytime of the day.

Delivers ke. You can't give what you don't have. His incompetence is on full display.

All these calls to the U.S. President makes you wonder if Nigeria is a subdivision of the U.S. It is rather silly. Turaki and his clowns wanted this chaos. A drowning man will do anything. They had sufficient notice of the FCT Minister's meeting. Only gullible people will fall for this nonsense.

Hold Makinde and his goons responsible for this mayhem. Desperados who are drowning. Instead of seeking for peace and reconciliation at this critical time, they are busy trying to outsmart their shadows. Clueless elements.

These elements just want trouble. The faction led by Wike had already given notice of their meeting. The police should bar them (Makinde's agents) from the venue.
