Nigeria is among the top 10 ground force in the world

hakeemhakeem:
I always amused when ever Gej mentioned, because he is not a politician.his wife is more of politician than him

Good luck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan became the president due to faith.

He was never a politician,he is very docile, hence,he was easier to push him aside.

Someone that was in a hurry to leave leave the top office alive, because he doesn't have to the stamina to wedge the wave of that office

The battle for the 2027 presidency has begun to build up, albeit with fluid permutations as some of the presidential hopefuls in the National Opposition Coalition Group, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, are still pondering the options before them.


While President Bola Tinubu is potentially the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in view of the gale of endorsements of his candidacy, the opposition coalition is yet to perfect crucial decisions to boost their chances in the election, except the June 19 application to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), seeking for the registration of a new political party—the All Democratic Alliance (ADA).


The ruling APC had endorsed President Tinubu for another term of four years, after governors of the party led by the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, had earlier adopted and endorsed him as their candidate for the 2027 presidential election.


Following this was a coterie of endorsements by several private individuals and opposition figures, after citing his many bold reforms.


On the part of the opposition seeking to upstage Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 elections, a lot is yet to be done.


However, it had resolved to form a new party instead of flying the flag of an existing one to prosecute the 2027 presidential election battle.


But the other elephant in the room of the opposition is the decision on whether to zone the presidential ticket to the south, which is in sync with the mood of the nation.


Directly connected to this is whether to zone the ticket to the north for a balance of the geo-political zones in the election.


However, this option is against the mood of the nation after the eight years of Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner.


While this internal extrapolations by the coalition subsisted, some members of the opposition have either begun to show interest in the presidency or are being considered by other members of the larger group.


Although they are a blend of the southern and northern aspirants, some of them are directly pushing their aspiration, while some are being goaded on by their compatriots. At the same time, some are still dilly-dallying on whether to run or not.


Below are some of the names that are being considered head-to-head with Tinubu, and how they stand in the subsisting equation, which is yet to fully take off.

Goodluck Jonathan – The Relunctant Candidate


The popularity rating of former President Goodluck Jonathan has soared since he was defeated by Buhari in 2015 due to certain factors.


First was the manner in which he relinquished power without a fight. This endeared him to the international community especially. Two, he had undertaken many regional and global assignments, which he discharged very well.


Three, there is the factor of the better living conditions that Nigerians experienced during his tenure, which is being used as a parallel today. The condition then was one of the things canvassed against him by the opposition.


Jonathan is being urged to challenge Tinubu and return to office. This calculation is based on the fact that he is the only southerner constitutionally bound to run for just a term of four years.


It is, therefore, believed that the north may back him more than any other person for this singular reason. Indeed, many people had met him over this, but he has refused to give any concrete answer.


However, the recent statement by his wife, Patience Jonathan, that her husband would not contest against Tinubu might have damaged that option.
But he is one aspirant that could give Tinubu a really tough time if he indicates interest to run.

Atiku Abubakar – Waiting for the Marabout


Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has earned the moniker as Nigeria’s veteran presidential election contestant. He has contested unsuccessfully for the President of Nigeria at six different election cycles: 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023.


Atiku’s closest chance to become president was in 2019 and 2023. He came to a close second in 2023 with a total of 6,984,520 votes behind the incumbent President Tinubu, who scored 8,794,726 votes, the lowest in contemporary history that any president ever polled.


But there are forces in the opposition coalition, who feel that Atiku has had his time and that others have served him long enough. His ambition to be president is largely believed to be responsible for the crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


Many of the governors and other stakeholders do not want to work hard to put the party in shape, only for Atiku to come and ‘grab’ the ticket again.


Besides, a majority of them still believe in the zoning principle and therefore hold the view that power must remain in the south, a decision that is evidently counter to Atiku’s interest.

Peter Obi – Hopeful Candidate


A two-term former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, took the political scene by storm when he contested alongside President Bola Tinubu and Atiku in 2023. He, however, came third with a total of 6,101,533 votes on the platform of the Labour Party (LP). He was closer to Atiku than he was to Tinubu in that election.


Obi, though enjoyed goodwill and mass appeal from the youth population, who constitute a good percentage of the voting population, his presidential voyage was considered a misadventure by many of the political strategists, who still believed that had he waited behind to work with Atiku, the Emi lo kan catchphrase would have remained a dream.


The South-east is a known PDP stronghold and has never produced a president since 1999. But by coming out in 2023 to vie for the presidency from that part of the country, Obi secured the home zone advantage, which depleted Atiku’s votes and consequently handed Tinubu victory.


Obi is believed to be back in the race but it is not clear if he still enjoys the same goodwill as he did in 2023 among the youths. It is also not certain if the north would support any southerner who is constitutionally entitled to two terms of eight years after Tinubu’s four years.

Bukola Saraki – On the Sidelines


A former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is a formidable force in Kwara State, and two-term governor of the state.


With a good knowledge of national politics, Saraki, who had also been the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, contested the May 2022 presidential primary of the PDP and came third after Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike.


In spite of losing Kwara State to the APC in the 2019 elections, Saraki has remained a popular figure, both in Kwara and national politics.
Unfortunately, the part of the country he hails from has always been a disadvantage of sort.


While the core north does not think North-central where Saraki hails from, should be considered for presidency if the position is zoned to the North, the south, even though he boasts a Yoruba name, neither thinks he belongs to it.


In the current extrapolation, however, a Saraki, with one leg in the north and the other in the south, appears a typical compromise candidate in the event of a stalemate.


However, he has not indicated interest to run in 2027.


But it would take more than such surface-scratching analysis to take on a Tinubu. Though Saraki is capable in terms of strategy, capacity and ability to think on his feet, the subsisting political equation seems to be against him.

Rabiu Kwankwaso – Challenger from Kano


A former Minister of Defence and two-term governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, is unable to unsettle any serious political applecart in any part of the country beyond Kano.


Though he has established himself as the political leader of Kano State with grassroots support, his control of the state is currently shaky.
Kwankwaso, leader of Kwankwasiyya, a grassroots political movement, which recently attracted membership of 24 retired military officers of Kano origin, has always had an eye on the presidency.


He contested the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and came a distant fourth with 1,496,687 votes.
As it is, his political future is unknown due to the leadership crisis rocking his party, the NNPP, and the fact that he has not identified with the opposition coalition.


He is the least of Tinubu’s problems, though Kano is crucial to any presidential race. The president’s men are believed to be containing Kwankwaso in Kano.

Chibuike Amaechi – Table Shaker


One of the politicians who has served the longest in Nigeria’s history is Rotimi Amaechi. A former speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, two-term governor of Rivers State and former Minister of Transportation for eight years, Amaechi comes to the race with requisite experience.


Many of those he trained and who rose through him are currently doing well in various political spaces and in personal capacities. This includes the current Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, a man he nursed from his political cradle to stardom.


Amaechi contested the June 2022 presidential primary of the APC and came a distant second with 316 votes, trailing behind Tinubu, who garnered 1,271 votes to emerge the winner.


Amaechi defeated 11 other aspirants, including former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo. He is one of the few men with courage, who has on a few occasions, criticised the Tinubu administration for the hardship it has brought on the Nigerian people. He also stood against his declaration of emergency rule in his state, Rivers, describing it as unconstitutional.


Amaechi’s presidential dream is no longer in the closet. It is also why he has been part of the coalition talks. Like other potential choices from the South, it is not certain if the North will support another southerner being in office for eight years after Tinubu’s four years.


Although his allies are saying Amaechi is so credible that if he had an understanding to serve for four years, he would never renege on his honour. But that is still not enough. Will the North ever trust anyone again after Jonathan allegedly reneged on a similar agreement?

Nasir El-Rufai – Disruptor


Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and ex-Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is among the strong members of the opposition coalition seeking to unseat President Tinubu in 2027.


Though he has not in any way indicated interest in the 2027 presidential election, he is ready to provide support to unseat Tinubu. Many, however, believed that El-Rufai is still nursing an ambition to pair with a southern candidate, knowing that such a running mate may ultimately inherit the presidency afterwards.


El-Rufai’s grievances against the president stemmed from the Senate’s refusal to confirm him as minister allegedly on the ‘order from above’.


Unable to take the pain and the embarrassment the refusal to clear him had caused his person, he has remained unconsolable and determined to take revenge against Tinubu and the APC in 2027.


However, the killings in southern Kaduna when he was governor diminished his political fortunes.

Ibrahim Shekarau – Calm before the Storm


Another two-term former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, is a major force in Kano politics.


A former Minister of Education, he is the Chairman of the League of Northern Democrats (LND), a political movement established by a coalition of northern elites interfacing with the opposition coalition on the 2027 talks.


Although Shekarau has not indicated interest in the presidency, he is one of the northern forces who had vowed to send Tinubu back to Lagos in 2027.


However, like Kwankwaso, Shekarau does not seem to constitute any threat to Tinubu, as the mood of the nation favours the presidency remaining in the South in 2027.

The United States (US) has warned its citizens against making unnecessary travels within Nigeria due to increased global security concerns.

The US Mission in Nigeria issued the security alert on Sunday, advising American citizens to avoid non-essential travel to military and government facilities in Abuja.

“Avoid unnecessary travel to Nigerian military and government facilities: Due to increased security concerns arising from current global developments, U.S. Mission Nigeria informs U.S. citizens that all U.S. Embassy employees and their families are prohibited from non-official travel to a Nigerian military site or other government venue in Abuja at this time,” the alert read in part.

On actions to take, the US Mission in Nigeria urged the American citizens to stay alert in public places, with particular attention to location and venues where Westerners, expatriates, and government officials frequent.

“Avoid large gatherings and consider limiting unnecessary travel. Avoid predictable routines. Familiarize yourself with emergency exits when you enter buildings. Review your personal security plans,” it said.

“The Consular Sections of Embassy Abuja and Consulate General Lagos remain open. Please monitor our website https://ng.usembassy.gov/.”

If you think Russia and China will join Iran to fight the USA, you must be in a deep slumber, the benefits of such decision are far less than the effort to them. They may supply Iran weapons and Intel, they will never raise an arm against the United States all because of iran

The G7 doesn't want any building of nuclear weapons.

Russia has maintained a delicate balancing act in the Middle East. It enjoys warm relations with Israel even as it developed strong military ties with Iran.
Amid the escalating tensions in the Middle East, Russian President Vladimir Putin has clarified Moscow's role in joining the Iran-Israel conflict, following the US entry with surprise air strikes against Iranian nuclear sites.

Putin, a long-time ally of Iran, called out those who questioned Moscow's commitment to its allies, terming them "provocateurs", TASS news agency reported.

The Russian President said that Russia has a nuanced relationship with its allies in the Middle East.

"I would like to draw your attention to the fact that almost two million people from the former Soviet Union and the Russian Federation reside in Israel. It is almost a Russian-speaking country today. And, undoubtedly, we always take this into account in Russia’s contemporary history," Putin said while speaking at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

He further said that 15 per cent of Russia’s population follows Islam and Moscow is an observer in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

Russia has maintained a delicate balancing act in the Middle East for decades. Moscow enjoys warm relations with Israel even as it developed strong economic and military ties with Iran.

Putin has also emphasised that Russia has a trusting relationship with Iran and helped build its first nuclear power plant in Bushehr.


Russia condemned the bombings, calling them "irresponsible" and a "gross violation of international law".

"It is already clear that a dangerous escalation has begun, fraught with further undermining of regional and global security," the Russian foreign ministry said.

Last week, Putin had offered to help mediate an end to the Israel-Iran conflict. He said that Moscow could help negotiate a settlement that could allow Tehran to pursue a peaceful atomic program while assuaging Israeli security concerns.

Meanwhile, Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed punishment for Israel day after the US struck three nuclear facilities in Iran.

Taking to X, the official handle of the Iranian leader vowed to intensify attacks against Tel Aviv, but made no mention of the US attacks.

"The punishment continues. The Zionist enemy has made a grave mistake, committed a major crime; it must be punished—and it is being punished. It is being punished right now," Khamenei said in the post.

Wike is busy building audio infrastructures while neglecting human capital

Comrade Ayoyinka Oni, Chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC) in Lagos State, has criticized the federal government for publicly celebrating former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, despite his pending corruption case.

In an interview published by Independent Nigeria on June 22, 2025, Oni expressed outrage over the presidency’s gesture of sending birthday wishes to Bello, who is currently on the radar of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly diverting public funds.

Oni questioned how a government that claims to fight corruption could openly honor someone declared wanted by its own anti-graft agency.

In his words:

"Imagine a Yahaya Bello that was declared wanted by the EFCC for diverting N80 billion for his personal use. Today, the presidency is wishing him a happy birthday. We are not a serious country."

He argued that this act reflects the deep-rooted culture of impunity among Nigeria’s ruling elite, where those accused of corruption continue to enjoy respect and protection in high places. According to him, this sends a dangerous signal that powerful individuals are above the law.

Oni's criticism highlights a larger concern about the credibility of Nigeria's fight against corruption. Many Nigerians have questioned the silence or support shown to politicians facing serious allegations, especially when such individuals are politically connected.

The EFCC had previously declared Bello wanted for allegedly misappropriating N80 billion during his tenure. Yet, the presidency’s public birthday message to him has drawn backlash from citizens and civil society groups.


As reported by Independent Nigeria, Oni believes that until leaders begin to take accountability seriously, Nigeria cannot be said to practice genuine democracy. He urged Nigerians to demand better governance and reject the normalization of corruption at the highest levels.

According to Telegraph, Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has called for the removal of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, blaming him for the country’s ongoing crises and the recent devastation caused by conflict.

In a statement released on June 22, 2025, Rajavi condemned Khamenei’s leadership as “unpatriotic,” accusing him of causing countless deaths and costing the Iranian people at least two trillion dollars—losses she says have now “gone up in smoke.”

Rajavi emphasized a “Third Option” for Iran’s future: rejecting both appeasement and war in favor of regime change led by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.

Founded in 1981, the NCRI is a coalition of Iranian groups seeking to establish a democratic republic based on separation of religion and state, gender equality, and non-nuclear policies.

Speaking from Strasbourg just days earlier at the European Parliament, Rajavi highlighted the deepening crisis engulfing the clerical regime and warned that the ongoing conflict in the region was a direct consequence of decades of failed appeasement policies.

She stressed that Khamenei’s regime remains committed to pursuing nuclear weapons and exporting terrorism, policies she described as pillars of its survival.

Rajavi’s call for regime change reflects a growing sentiment among Iranian opposition groups and segments of the population frustrated by economic hardship, repression, and war.


She urged the international community to support the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy, arguing that lasting peace in Iran and the region can only be achieved through the overthrow of the current theocratic dictatorship.

The NCRI’s message underscores the intensifying internal and external pressures facing Iran’s leadership amid escalating military confrontations and widespread domestic discontent.

It's the same pattern as what they did in IRAQ.

1- Make people believe they are building nuclear weapons.
2- Cause chaos and Strike them.
3- If they retaliate by striking any US facilities.
4- The US send in troops.
5- They label the govt a terrorist Govt which are anti-people
6- Overthrow the govt
7- Install a new president who would do their bidding.

At the end, it's all about controlling the resources of that country to the benefit of the US. It has nothing to do with nuclear weapons or terrorism.

It's a script they keep repeating to distabilize a country, take control and siphon their resources.

Are you insinuating that Iran is free from terrorism

Precision strike is different from Emotion strike

You are absolutely correct, Iran's shooting missiles at random without plan, target or precision.While Isreal had targets which they aimed with precision.

Israel has completed their assignment, while, America just put the nails on the coffin with the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites

I quite understand your point of view...you are a Christian.

But truth is that not all of us in the traditional circle are engaged in human sacrifices, as you are trying to paint us black with it; your top religious figures in the other religions too are very guilty of it...and that's evil in its entirety.

Say No To Human Sacrifices.

Yes. And we are proud of what we do, except for the few traditionalists who want to bring down the beauty of tradition.

It is purely idol worship and nothing else

You are proud of worshipping Idol and making human sacrifices

Please can you state some of the things they do during the festival weather sacrifices and idol worship is free.

These practices have long term negative effects on the practitioners and adherents and their generations.

If you are among you better pull yourself out and give your life to christ

All these are the results of endemic and celebrated corrupt practices in Nigeria.

It is almost a culture in the country but the consequences are heavy.

That's why in sane climes,the put stringents laws in place to checkmate their citizens because the knew that with corruption, nothing will gonna work

What Nigeria needs now is not building of infrastructures but stringents laws to checkmate everyone in the country including public office holders

We need community police, LGA police and state police, all armed and prepared to protect their communities

The community is much closer to the people.We can have up to 10 communities in one local government area

Has the 6-3-3-4 system of education yielded any meaningful results,no,as the equipments and tools given to schools across the country to implement the jss3 programs were Left to rot away.

Some of them were sold by the schools authorities,thereby leaving the program to fall flat till date

All stakeholders in the education sectors should work sincerely as a team to make this scheme work, for the growth of the economy

The problem of unemployment will be solved as the youths will be able to utilized the various skills they acquired to became useful to themselves and the society

He is a very selfish and greedy man, like most Nigerian politicians. He laughed at GEJ when Buhari /Pantanmi and CPC were doing the same when they were sponsoring Boko Haram.

As much as I dislike him , he has one job to do: use executive order to push state police across Nigeria so that we can fight back with automatic weapons and have a chance against the ongoing Fulani insurgency.

what Nigeria actually needed is community police and not state police

What actually is the motive of the president visit,was it to sympathize with them or to profer an urgent solutions to the herdsmen attack.

His visit doesn't change anything,as the herdsmen were not deterred by any form of resistance.

You claim to be her close friend yet you can't find a way to reach her people, you had to come and splash the news of her death all over social media before her loved ones got to know. What manner of friend is this..How did she even know how her deceased friend died or how long ago she died? Was she present when her she slumped and died 3 days ago or she just deduced when she died upon sighting her? She needs to taken in for questioning.

She didn't say she was her close friend,She might be just an admirer or a neighbor

This is suggestive that while she was alive,she lives solitary

Khamenei has made a selection of replacements down his chain of military command in case more of his lieutenants are killed, according to the report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has named three senior clerics as candidates to succeed him should he be killed during the ongoing conflict with Israel, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
The New York Times also wrote that he has also made the "unusual decision" to instruct Iran's Assembly of Experts, which is tasked with appointing a supreme leader, to choose his successor from the three names he provided.

Khamenei has made a selection of replacements down his chain of military command in case more of his lieutenants are killed, according to the report.
Top Iranian officials are also reportedly quietly making preparations for a wide range of outcomes as the war continues, including the possible entry of the US into the fray.

Talks about who would succeed Khamenei as Iran's leader were held confidentially by diplomats from Europe and the United States, speaking theoretically about a scenario where the Islamic Republic would collapse, CBS News learned on Friday.
The diplomats had also discussed whether Iranian nuclear sites could be secured, and the environmental consequences for their allies in the region as a result of attacking nuclear facilities like Fordow.
Khamenei has been hiding since Israel's exchange of missiles with Iran broke out one week ago, with US President Donald Trump saying on Tuesday that the US knows exactly where he is. The Iranian leader is also believed to be battling cancer, the report noted, and cited an assessment by US intelligence that concluded Khamenei hasn't resumed his country's nuclear weapons program, which halted operations in 2003.
International calls and internet connection in Iran have notably weakened due to the current conflict, CBS cited regional sources as saying, adding that diplomats have raised complaints that arranging meetings with Abbas Araghchi, the country's foreign affairs minister, has become more difficult. Khamenei is also reportedly concerned about communicating with other officials due to concerns of signal interception to reveal his location, the report added.
These reports come shortly after Araghchi met with European counterparts in Geneva the same day, in a meeting that lasted twice as long as expected, CBS reported

killing Khamenei is never the solution, they should kill the root source.

As you read the title, my question is: Are yellow teeth the reason for bad breath? A few months ago, my teeth became yellow, so I thought it was just due to discoloration. I had a teeth whitening treatment at the dental clinic, but my mouth still smells. I don't know the reason behind it. Can you please share what might be causing this?

You went to see the dentist for the wrong reason.

90% of mouth odour comes from teeth decay.

Go and visit another dentist and ask him to clean your teeth, they call it teeth polishing

After the cleaning,use a hard brush preferably wisdom tooth brush with hydrogen peroxide with a good tooth paste to brush morning and evening.

The odour will vanish.

After this treatment.make sure you polish your teeth at least once every year

This is hypocrisy at it's peak, because the herdsmen have already settled the traditional ruler and the village head before coming into the community.

So, why crying wolf, you cannot eat your cake and have it

Empty threat as usual. They promised to seriously punish Isreal but we haven't seen it happen, yet their army chiefs keep dying in the hands of Israel. On 18th of this month, Iran promised to do to Isreal what will be remembered for centuries but nothing happened except sending hypersonic bomb into Isreal and then celebrate the failure of Iron Dome to intercept it as if they don't know that that is almost impossible to intercept due to its speed. Isreal will still kill him no matter how long it takes even after the war and nothing will happen. Once marked, they will surely take you out. He may have plane crash in the future if negotiation happen before he is taking out in this war.
Once they mark you, they will follow you up for years.

The mystery is that he may not be taken out inside the under ground bunker he is hiding.

They will use another means not thought of, he's being watched closely

That guy should push further, the response from Tony indicates a likely future consideration

No,he is just being diplomatic.

According to Iran International English, in a stark warning to the United States (U.S.), a senior Iranian official has cautioned that any American move against Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, would be met with devastating retaliation. Mojtaba Ranjbar, a member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, issued the threat during a public statement on Wednesday.

“If America makes a mistake, what happened to Tel Aviv and Haifa will happen to Washington and New York,” Ranjbar declared, referencing recent escalations in the region involving Iranian-backed forces and Israeli targets.

The statement follows remarks by U.S. President, Donald Trump, who recently floated the possibility of targeting Khamenei in response to Iran’s actions in the Middle East. Trump's comments have reignited tensions between the two countries, with Iranian officials viewing them as a direct threat to the Islamic Republic's leadership.

The Assembly of Experts, a powerful clerical body in Iran, plays a key role in appointing and supervising the Supreme Leader. Ranjbar’s statement, while not an official government position, is seen as a reflection of the sentiment among Iran’s hardline factions.

The warning highlights the increasingly volatile relationship between Washington and Tehran, particularly after a series of confrontations in the Gulf and continued Iranian support for militant groups across the region. Iran has consistently vowed to respond to perceived threats with force, and this latest threat suggests that any strike against its highest authority would provoke a far-reaching response.

Ranjbar’s comments underline a broader Iranian policy of deterrence. While diplomatic channels remain largely closed, rhetoric on both sides has escalated, raising concerns over potential miscalculations.

With U.S.-Iran tensions simmering and the region on edge, the international community is urging restraint to avoid further destabilization.

The north can do all they can.


South till 2031

The truth is bitter but should be said,the worse northern president is better than the best southern president.
