Fela used the word zombie. Confidently enforcing illegal order. I don't blame him. Does he know the trouble he and his colleagues are in? Unless the President is not serious with this issue. This is a national security issue. That someone who is not the commander in chief or a serving member of the military can stay somewhere and order soldiers to embark on illegality. NSA should be knocking down doors by now. We joke too much in Nigeria. Just imagine.

Just imagine. No wonder Nigeria is like this. This is a gross disrespect to the President. Whoever gave that instruction must be summoned and arrested. The height of impunity.

The military has no right to do that. Undermining a civilian authority? This is how coup starts. President Tinubu should address this insubordination with urgency.

They said they were following instructions? What stupid instructions? When will they ever follow instructions to end terrorism? Nonsense. This is where you see them flexing muscle.

President Tinubu should do the needful. They must know they had no right to do that. Totally unacceptable. Those soldiers and whoever gave them that illegal instructions must be punished.

A call should have come from Aso Villa to send those soldiers out of there. This our president sef.

A menace.

They are known to die for nothing. Deployed for the interests of the military industrial complex. Terrorism they are funding is what they want to fight now. Deceiving themselves.

Trump is looking for distraction from problems at home, where U.S. citizens are now eating out of dumpsters.

The convicted felon has no business being there. Trump is a joke.

The title of your post already shows you don't know what you are talking about. There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria and I say so as a Southern Christian, not beclouded by any political bias or claims of marginalizion, as I have noticed many are.

Nigeria is battling with terrorism which has claimed the lives of people from different religions. Christians are not specifically being targeted. There is no campaign to eliminate Christians in Nigeria. Now get this, even if that were to be the case, the U.S. cannot unilaterally act in that regard.

I don't think you understand the basic concept of sovereignty or even international law, hence your play with words. What gives U.S. the right to intervene in our domestic affair? Trump's post alone is a violation of the UN Charter.

The U.S. has absolutely no right, no jurisdiction whatsoever to decide whether to "intervene" or "invade." An invasion will obviously be illegal and so will any so-called intervention done unilaterally by the U.S. without the consent of Nigeria or the UN.

Trump's post was clear and what it purports is an invasion. He had no right to address Nigeria in that manner. This also brings up this issue of pretend diplomacy which I'm fed up with. They just have the CIA in the embassy doing espionage and causing chaos here because clearly they are not doing any diplomatic work.

The actual genocide that the convicted felon in the White House avoids. I blame our so-called leaders for the treatment Nigeria gets. Unpatriotic lot.

I welcome the protest. Although, I have said enough on this issue. Since our government is comfortable with being threatened and treated like a vassal state, so be it. Tell me why the staff of the US mission, including the ambassador shouldn't all be in Washington, D.C.? Cowed by your own corruption and incompetence. Now you know why you must do well as a country to avoid such intimidation.

What a contemptuous display. The court is even being too lenient with you. As for whether you will be convicted, I don't see why you shouldn't be. The prosecution established a strong case against you, and still you refused to enter a defence. You are as good as convicted. The law is clear.

Is USD our currency? Everything dollars, USA. I feel very sorry for this country. Mental enslavement. No wonder it is the way it is. You see them mentioning dollars with pride in national discourse as if we are the USA, yet we have our own currency.

Let the people in Aso villa continue to keep mute. Incompetent Bunch, including those in the National Assembly. Instead of developing Nigeria, they were looting. Can U.S. threaten China or Russia this way? It is a shame. My anger is that I know that USA is the sponsor of terrorism all over the world, so the whole thing is inverted. Smoke and mirrors. A battle of narratives. They have gone ahead of us. We have people in government without a clue of what is going on in this world.

If the U.S. wants to carry out any military operation in Nigeria, then they must be prepared to go to war with Nigeria. We should have already expelled every U.S. citizen in this country. Our government is not serious. Money-looting, SUV-driving bunch. This same terrorism is sponsored by the USA. You just have people answering titles in Nigeria who know nothing. Expel U.S. diplomats! The rhetorics from the U.S. government is totally unacceptable.

We have useless leaders who only know how to loot. Unpatriotic things. Now they will wake to the real world and understand what Russia and China have been fighting for. Might is right. The problem with eradicating this terrorism is that USA is the sponsor. Truth is stranger than fiction.

This must be a joke. The most satanic country on earth planning to invade or carry out strikes in Nigeria over a so-called Christian genocide? Inverted world. The price for unchecked power. U.S. hegemony is a threat to the world and they are the sponsors of terrorism.

How Christian is LGBTQ...Z USA? The fact is that MIGHT IS RIGHT. The USA operates by the law of the jungle and solely wants to be the one dictating to the world. So when you see their struggle with Russia and China, it is all about maintaining their hegemony. Nothing to do with democracy or rule of law. Does USA obey international law? The law of the jungle is in full sway.

This is why the U.S. seeks to maintain its hegemony to continue acting with impunity. A country of mass shootings, hate crimes and loads of other vices, yet quick to point fingers at others and even evade them to restore "order". A rogue nation funding terrorism all over the world.

Just imagine. They have no right to do such, but I don't blame them. We have useless leaders. The mere utterance of something like this ought to have led to the summoning of the U.S. ambassador and if the reckless rhetoric continues, the permanent closure of U.S. diplomatic missions in Nigeria. What happened to the allegations of USAID funding terrorism in Nigeria?

Yes, we must eradicate terrorism in Nigeria, but the approach of the U.S., who is even sponsoring it is a joke. They can only fool gullible people. I don't blame them since we have corrupt and unpatriotic leaders who only know how to loot and ride in SUVs. They are never serious about anything.

USA is responsible for all these terrorist attacks. They are funding them. The earlier we face this brutal truth, the better for us. This is why I'm not a fan of embassies and pretend diplomacy.

Your injuries are self-inflicted. Stop pointing finger elsewhere.

Governor Diri of Bayelsa is shameless.

2010. Smh. They were just doing rubbish in this country. Not much has changed today. Unpatriotic lot.

This fraud of a country ruining world economy.

The military should not even dare overthrow any Nigerian president. It will not be accepted. This coup nonsense is what some enemies of Nigeria, including some who are citizens fantasize about. From frying pan to fire. You haven't held civilians accountable, is it the military? Besides, they have ruled in the past. That chapter is forever closed.

So-called APC elders who don't know anything about politics are trying to dabble into that of Rivers State. Who made Fubara the governor of Rivers State?

I get irritated by cluelessness, and if I start dissecting this issue, I might end up with a dissertation. How about they try to focus on getting Tinubu to at least win Lagos in the presidential election this time?

Anyone who understands Rivers State politics knows these so-called APC elders are chasing shadows. Jonathan is now hovering, but Wike is your focus. If you want to lose, you will lose well.

A free and fair election will send Tinubu out of office anyway, or just relying on his campaign promise to give us constant electricity or be voted out after four years.

The usual "good guys".

Lol, as if Tinubu is a saint. Ridiculous. What does Sowore have to do with anything? Tinubu and his Yoruba government. In a free and fair election, Tinubu will lose. He should sideline Wike at his own peril. Let us have a free and fair election and see the outcome.

Totally barbaric. The teacher must be prosecuted and taken away from the classroom.

Sycophancy is a bad thing.

He was never a member. Peter Obi never stays to build a party. Not a sign of a good leader.

Is the LGBTQ..XYZ USA a Christian country? Can this sanctimonious and hypocritical country leave us alone? I blame the Nigerian government for not investigating USAID allegations of funding terrorism. This same country funds these groups to destabilise countries.

Imagine the statement from the Vice President of Nigeria referring to an individual as an institution. What a reckless remark. Dangote is not an institution, and if he is the pillar of Nigeria's economic development, then I feel very sorry for this country.
