Same ADC runaways from Pdp & Apc abi are the ones educating us about failed leaders?

Abi isn’t it this same spokesperson Mallam Abdullahi that was a minister under President Buhari?

Switruth:
You're being monitored... The US will get you for supporting the killings. Just continue.

Guy even when I dey school for Ohio I no even support their imperialist mindset, now man done return home, u think I give a fickery about those gay ass loving people?

Even back then, their mindset wasn’t as rotten as it is today under this felon Donald J Trump.

Nigeria na mighty country, nothing dey fit do, nonsense empty barrels.

Chibuezem:
I support his message
It's an insult to the Nigerian government who have for years refused to end Boko haram and banditry in the north which has now extended to the west .please Trump so the needful before this radicalization gets to the south .

It's time the Nigerian government wakes up

We know ebo must support the destruction of Nigeria no be today.

Trump really loves u abi, e for make entry into Amelica visa free for Nigerian Christians, like he is doing for white South Africans?

Mrexcell:
This hallucinating man will end up putting tinibu in trouble he is talking as if nigeria is a united country that has patriotic people that can fight americans to the bitter end. If the US military ever start bombing sites in nigeria i can bet anything that there will definitely be a lot of nigerians who already have grudges with the nigerian state that will be willing to assist the americans to subdue nigeria.

one of their bombs drops on you by mistake, u will blame Tinubu abi

Shawarmagirl:
Those who knows Tinubu very well will tell you that's his tactic of winning election. In a free, fair and credible election, Tinubu will see distance 4th. If Yorubas was to have Oduduwa Republic, and Tinubu comes out for President, all the South West combined will reject him to lead them.

Coming from the house of the perennial wailers, it is true NEPA will not take your light for 1 year, so that u can conduct free & fair election in the zoo abi?

Gerhards:
I doubt you are a Christian and even if you are one then politic has blindfolded your eyes, you care about politic than saving life, may Nigeria jihadi happen to your generation

Pot calling electric kettle black.

Switruth:
I can tell you that the politicians have failed to uphold the true democratic tenets,..... We are all existing and not living..... Whatever the western world puts out to Nigeria will be accepted because only the few are benefitting from the common wealth of this cesspit.

Nonsense lazy man talk.

saintokwuluora:
Classical case of "una go explain tire". Na Trump una suppose to dey explain give....make una send Reno, him sabi explain with lies...

They don’t have to explain anything to that convicted felon.

Christian’ genocide indeed.

Trump’s “Country of Concern” Tag on Nigeria: Religion, Revenge, or a Bigger Game?

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump labelled Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged religious persecution. The announcement sent ripples across Nigeria and beyond. For years, claims of a “Christian genocide” have circulated in international media, often with little evidence and much emotion. This latest designation takes matters higher, raising questions about Nigeria’s diplomatic posture and America’s motives.

Let us start with what went wrong at home. Nigeria’s response to such a grave accusation has been clumsy and unserious. Instead of elevating the issue through formal diplomatic channels, engaging legal experts, or pushing back with verifiable data, most early reactions came from citizens on social media. Many acted out of genuine concern and patriotism, not government direction, revealing a troubling absence of strategy from those meant to defend the nation’s image.

The only thing resembling an official effort was the engagement of a political influencer who invited some American social media personalities to Nigeria to counter the genocide narrative. He claimed they had debunked the allegation, but it backfired. The visitors disowned the exercise, accused their hosts of misrepresentation, and exposed it as a poorly planned propaganda stunt. What should have been a sober diplomatic rebuttal became a social media circus that embarrassed the country and weakened its defence.

Beyond that misstep lies a deeper pattern. There appears to be a broader agenda at play, one that goes beyond religion. Nigeria’s growing independence on the global stage has not gone unnoticed, especially its refusal to bend to certain Western demands, from oil deals to diplomatic alignments. The recent review of the US visa policy toward Nigeria, reportedly linked to Abuja’s refusal to accept deportees and comply with bilateral conditions, adds another layer of tension. In global politics, moral outrage often hides political manoeuvring.

Nigeria’s security challenges are real. The country has grappled with terrorism, banditry, and communal violence that have claimed thousands of lives. But these conflicts stem more from poverty, weak governance, and resource struggles than from religion. To label them a “Christian genocide” oversimplifies a complex reality and weaponises human suffering for political ends.

Every time America amplifies stories of religious persecution in Nigeria, it is rarely about saving lives. It is about shaping perception, creating pressure, and tightening control. It fits a familiar pattern: destabilise Nigeria, gain influence, access resources, and win ground in the global contest with China and Russia. A divided Nigeria is easier to manipulate than a united one.

Some believe Nigeria’s refusal to yield to certain Western expectations has deepened these tensions. What looks like concern may actually be strategy. The “Country of Concern” tag reflects not Nigeria’s reality but America’s interests.

This is why Nigeria’s response must be strategic, not sentimental. Our diplomats, not influencers, should take the lead. The government must engage Washington through facts, not emotion, and tell Nigeria’s story as it truly is: a nation with complex security challenges, yes, but also a resilient and plural society holding itself together. It must strengthen its foreign ministry, empower embassies, and communicate clearly without compromising sovereignty.

Trump’s designation should not provoke panic. It should provoke strategy. Our real defence lies in unity, not outrage; in diplomacy, not denial; in confidence, not confusion. The world respects nations that defend their truth with clarity. Nigeria must stop reacting to narratives written abroad and start writing its own. The world may see this as a story of religion. In truth, it is a story of power, influence, and perception. Nigeria must decide whether to be a pawn or a player in that global game. In a world where narratives shape nations, Nigeria must own its story or risk being written out of it.

—— Abu Sidiq

Excellent read.

OLAADEGBU:
FAITH UNDER FIRE: Trump warns of a “mass slaughter” of Christians in Nigeria, says the U.S. is "ready, willing and able" to save Christians around the world.

Nonsense.

madridguy:
You can only call this a lie if you're not living in Nigeria. The killing of Christians in Nigeria is real and this is not the same with Iraq or Libya issue.
Has the FG done anything about the herdsmen going around with AK47?

It is promoted propaganda by the election Losers.

Richtaiwo:
If this is true, it will be very interesting.

Let's see if sanctions will be applied to some Nigerians, especially the Muslims in the North or the entire Nigerians. Perhaps, it will be applied to only Tinubu supporters, then Trump will finally remove Tinubu and install pitobi as president.

I don't know why adults will sit down and start thinking of how to continuously cause mayhem in the country. Does a bandit give a rat ass which religion you practise before killing you if you fail to pay ransom? Idiots now say is Christian genocide. How about kidnappers killing in the south east. Do the kidnappers select religion before unleashing mayhem on their victims?

Karma is just a useless bitch. It has its way of getting around to perpetrators of evil and will sure get to them. Clowns should continue working very hard for crisis, as if the crisis will only consume few. Whatever the crisis in this country, the president family is very safe. You can only increase your insult to him, but of what consequences?

Let those disgruntled election losers promoted mostly by the rising sun people continue in their ignorance, na so they do during their so called Endsars to show President Buhari by cutting their nose to spite their ears.

The African Democratic Congress on Friday urged President Bola Tinubu to withdraw the 15 per cent import duty on petrol and diesel, describing the decision as insensitive and capable of worsening the economic hardship faced by Nigerians.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC said the Tinubu administration’s approach to economic reform had remained insensitive to the suffering of ordinary Nigerians, warning that any economic growth that condemns the majority to hardship and misery is ultimately destructive.

Tinubu had recently approved a 15 per cent ad valorem import duty on petrol and diesel brought into the country.

The policy, designed to protect local refineries and stabilise the downstream oil sector, is expected to push pump prices higher.




According to a letter dated October 21, 2025, made public on October 30 and addressed to the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Tinubu ordered the immediate enforcement of the new tariff under what the government termed a “market-responsive import tariff framework.”

The approval, conveyed through his Private Secretary, Damilotun Aderemi, followed a proposal from FIRS Executive Chairman Zacch Adedeji.

However, in a report published by The PUNCH on Friday, petroleum marketers cautioned that the decision could push the pump price of petrol above N1,000 per litre.

Commenting on the development, the ADC criticised the levy, questioning its justification when the Port Harcourt refinery, which is central to the government’s refining plan, failed just five months after a $1.5 billion repair, causing a N366.2 billion loss.


While the party said it supported private investment in the energy sector, it urged the President to ensure that such policies prioritise citizens’ welfare and not push Nigerians to the brink.

The statement read, “The African Democratic Congress is deeply concerned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent approval of a 15% import duty on petrol and diesel. Coming at a time when Nigerians are already suffocating under the weight of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, this fuel tax is both insensitive and misguided. It raises the question of whether the APC government ever considers the pain its policies continue to inflict on the people.

“From all indications, this new levy is likely to push the pump price of petrol beyond N1,000 per litre. If this happens, life will become even more unbearable for families, commuters, transporters, farmers, and small businesses already struggling under the burden of fuel subsidy removal without social protection and currency devaluation without safeguards.”

The party stated that the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda was a trial-and-error system with a self-serving agenda that disregards the welfare of the people.

The ADC rejected the import duty and called for its prompt withdrawal.

“While the government continues to promote a narrative of economic progress, the cost of food, rent, transport, and education continues to rise beyond the reach of most citizens. If the government persists with this latest tax measure, it will only deepen the people’s suffering.


“The ADC therefore firmly opposes this ill-conceived import duty and warns the government not to push Nigerians to the wall. We demand its immediate reversal. Nigerians deserve a government that plans, not one that panics. A government that cannot run its own refineries has no moral right to tax those who keep the country running through their sweat and toil.

“If the goal is energy security and domestic refining, there must first be transparent investment in local capacity. Until then, any tax imposed to discourage imports will only force Nigerians to pay more for imported fuel, which still accounts for about 60% of national supply — a gap that cannot be bridged overnight,” it added

Nonsense, na by force to form
Opposition?

Clueless Things.

Ttalk:
