Commendable work DSS now South East will be safer
Apply the same energy to our northern human vampires who now flog their victims in captivity while their friends go on protest for Iran

Kastonkastroll:
Foolish trump. There is a reason why previous USA presidents avoid Iran, North Korea, Russia and China with war. America might beat them but they will always deal a heavy blow to America which is what we are seeing today.

Besides America military is obsolete! If not, who invest billions of dollars on useless bases when you can just use good hypersonic missiles and destroy the useless bases.

Look at their carrier; in any modern warfare all those America carriers, bases patriot, thad, etc will be blown to pieces by hypersonic missiles.


I dont think Iran need any nuke. Their hypersonic missiles are a good deterrent from hostile countries like America and Israel! Lol just station your missiles on one place and be shooting them at enemies positions without risking the lives of your soldiers.

Iranians are bad guys sha

Bad guys that got decimated few days ago
If they are really Bad guys they should take out Trump but no they won't
Also our brothers in the North who have been protesting against USA's Bombardment of Iran should apply for citizenship in Iran and join their Glorious Army .

This man has never worked a day in his entire life. He has been living in his father’s shadow and wealth in Europe for over 40 years. How will such a person lead Iran out of its challenges with empathy for the masses. He doesn’t even know the road to his village. Just a packaged puppet for the western elite to funnel the Iranian commonwealth and further impoverish the people.

This post is a direct rejoinder to Regional Distribution Of Votes In The 2023 Presidential Election which (from the comments section) attempts to portray the South East as voting along tribal lines. It's election season again and the ethnic jingoists have once again resorted to politics of tribal dog whistle.

I hope our Government will put an end to this insecurity
The South East is a bit calm but we know that if care is not take this religious terrorists will start their death campaign here.
The Military is not the problem

Our Government is not the problem but rather the very politicians who have decided to play with the lives of the very people that they swore to protect over personal gains .

What kind of people am I calling fellow Nigerians


The message is clear
Nigeria is not a nation

Define callousness.

When they did operation Python Dance..did anybody have guns with them...?

Definition of Callousness

Noun
callousness (uncountable)

The quality of being callous; emotional hardheartedness or indifference.
Operation Python Dance was horrible honestly I lost some friends to that I don't think the civilians were armed
The Nigerian justice system we know is corrupt a reflection of how corrupt Nigerians are including we Igbos from our very Governors who are spineless refusing to develop our region despite receiving allocation from FGN


I am Igbo proudly Igbo
I won't and cannot prove it to you but I believe that Igbos need to first develop their part of the world (The DOT as Christianed by Buharia 😅) first to the extent that Lagos and other states are in their shadow before pursuing Biafra

Rep9jaCom:
A Nigerian lady has cried out for help after accusing her boyfriend of blackmailing her with intimate videos, Rep9ja reports.

The lady, identified as Ijeoma Patricia Ogoh, took to her Facebook page to narrate her ordeal, alleging that a man she had been dating for months secretly recorded their private moments and later demanded money from her.

According to her, she had gone to visit her boyfriend, whom she had been seeing for some months. After spending time together, she left for home without suspecting anything unusual.

However, while on her way back, she noticed he had sent her a video on WhatsApp. She decided to wait until she got home before opening it.

To her shock, she claimed the video showed a private moment between them. What made the situation worse was a voice note that allegedly followed.

She said the man threatened to share the video with members of her family if she failed to pay him the sum of two million naira.

According to her, he went as far as checking her Facebook page to gather the names of her siblings, uncles, and aunties, promising to send the clip to them.

She revealed that he had already sent the video to her sister.

In her post, she explained that her sister had involved some local youths in an attempt to confront the man.

However, she said there was a major challenge, she does not know where he lives because he always took her to an apartment whenever they met.

She added that she pleaded with him to accept two hundred thousand naira instead, but he allegedly responded by sending another clip, which she described as even more embarrassing.

Sharing her frustration, she wrote:



Her story has since sparked concern online, with many advising her to report the matter to the appropriate authorities.

Either this is a lie or plain stupidity on the lady
Why would I agree to record our intimate moments?
She can always Sue his ass for ₦20 million ,win the case and leave the country

Rapmoney:
Lately, I have been seeing different threads online created solely to discourage young Nigerians from travelling abroad. One particular thing common among these posts is how the writers unrealistically make oppornities in Nigeria seem equal or even greater to those that abound in Europe, America, Canada, or Australia. That is very ridiculous. We are not blind. We know the current state of Nigeria - from epileptic power supply, hyper inflation, to monster insecurity. I saw a video where a young youth corp member was being tortured by bandits in the north as if we were living in the 1720s. Until now, the authorities and security agencies have not made any statement on it. Why would they? It is 'normal' in Nigeria.

Last year, I travelled to a state in the Niger Delta Region for a project. An entire local government area has not seen light for donkey years. In some parts of the state, people do not use electricity up to 10 minutes in a day. Then, you have remote workers in these places. You have artisans who need electricity for their business. These people spend hell on purchasing fuel, and by the end of the day, their profits cannot even make them have access to a decent life. Tomorrow, when their business crumbles, you call them 'lazy people'.

As a young Nigerian, if you have the means to travel to access better opportunities, DO NOT ALLOW anyone to discourage you. Some of these people who try to discourage you have family members abroad who have established businesses for them here. Some of them might even be living abroad, but you do not know that. Some are beneficiaries of the failed systems and institutions in Nigeria. If your country was okay, why are the children of your leaders living in developed countries? Shouldn't this country be good for them instead?

Countries that have thriving economies do not even have citizens who discourage their fellow citizens from travelling, talk more of a country that has failing systems and institutions.

How does another man's decision to travel affect your own life? The decision to travel for greener pastures, better social amenities, and guaranteed security is a personal thing, and should not give other people headache. Why you dey swallow panadol for another man headache?

You dey Nigeria dey earn 40k as a private school teacher, and you dey allow another man wey dey Sweden dey earn millions with better security and healthcare to brainwash you. You go die poor ooo! Nor go find scholarships or sell family land. Dey there.

Thank you Sir
Congrats on leaving this Trap of bigotry and tribalism

stagger:
Have you heard of combat injuries? These are not injuries civilians are exposed to. How many hospitals in Nigeria are equiped to handle injuries from mines. IEDs. mortar rounds. high-calibre bullets from mounted HMGs, etc?

This kind of specialized medical training for the army medical corps is LONG OVERDUE.

training for medical corps has been in the military bro
Doctors join the military to be trained asedical corps but the turn up rate is low because your Government prefers to pay the ransome of kidnappers immediately and owe doctors

Shimbo96:
can you carry a regular doctor to the battlefield? If you have nothing meaningful to contribute next time keep quiet... Only a military doctor can deal with trauma those soldiers face on a daily basis so relax and go to another trend to voice your irrelevant opinion.

Nigeria has a lot of doctors in emergency medicine that can be enrolled into the military but because of poor renumeration those doctors choose to Japa
A sensible government will first week for ways to improve their renumeration first before building houses that will be empty

OneCandleAway:
Continue establishing colleges meanwhile when they graduate you pay them peanuts. The money you'll use to establish this college why not use it to invest in the hospitals and increase medical workers payment so you politicians won't need to travel out for treatment.

they won't because stupid Nigerians like buildings and roads
When they are sick they go to chemist and native doctors first

Truly it's either we divided along common religious and ethnic sentiments or we seek for a change in mentality.

DeLaRue:
It makes perfect sense.

A naira that rises too fast can be as damaging to the economy as one that falls too fast.

The secret to sustainable economic growth is stability. A slow but steady naira recovery is better.

If naira hits 1000 to a dollar too fast, Nigerian consumers will benefit hugely, but the biggest long term beneficiary will be China, as Nigerians will go back to importing everything under the sun from China. This will destroy our own manufacturing companies, and there will be tremendous job loses. Once cheap Chinese imports destroy our manufacturers, then we will effectively become an economic colony of China.

Remember too that if the naira rises too sharply, the record levels of non-oil exports we have had in the past 2 years will disappear as our produce becomes more expensive for foreign buyers. A strong naira makes our non-oil exports expensive for foreign buyers. They will look elsewhere to buy.

Economics is not a one way thing. For every positive, there are often potential negatives. It is the job of the CBN to manage conflicting possibilities.

I suspect the CBN will probably prefer naira to steadily rise to say around N1250 by end of 2026, N1100 by end of 2027, and N1000 by end of 2028. Steady as you go.

But the CBN will be under tremendous political pressure from APC leaders to allow naira to gain fast later this year so APC can go into 2027 elections saying 'We told you so...Mr Tinubu is an economic genius. Vote for him to perform more magic'.

It is what politicians all over the world do. Mr Trump has been trying to sack the American Central bank Governor for several months now because the Governor refused to cut interest rate as fast as Mr Trump wants.

Exactly This administration will do anything within it's powers to shoot up naira

edogu:

nairalanda1:
The thing is, the best way to end kidnapping in Nigeria is to not pay kidnappers.

The problem is, people don't want to lose their loved ones and government doesn't want to be unpopular

So, everyone pays and by extension funds the kidnappers for life.

it's very easy to end it
First provide jobs and a stable environment

franchasng:
There is no big deal here because 99% of Nigerians don't take Local Government election serious, they don't even regard it as an election, only loyal and staunch party members take local government election serious and it's usually the ruling party that always have more number of faithful and loyal party members due to the penny penny and kobo kobo the incumbent government officials who are members of the ruling party usually give out to them to keep them loyal to the party.



Nigerian people's focus is usually on:

1.) Presidential election

2.) Governorship election


To them, others don't really matter because the two elections above determine the outcome and performance of the others

avalancheMedia:
On February 18, 2026, a quietly signed letter landed at Nigeria's electoral commission that said everything without saying anything at all. The All Progressives Congress wrote to INEC announcing the suspension of its scheduled state, local government, and ward congresses in Abia State. No new date. No clear explanation. Just vague language about "ongoing consultations" and unfinished "administrative processes."

In any other country, this would be boring bureaucratic housekeeping. In Nigeria, it was a declaration of intent. The APC was clearing the table. And the guest of honor they were clearing it for is Alex Otti, the banker turned governor who won Abia State under the Labour Party banner and became the unlikeliest political survivor in the country.

The message hidden inside that letter was simple: come sit down.

The Congress That Wasn't

You don't halt a party congress without a very good reason. Congresses are how parties build their local structures. Stopping one abruptly, in a state where you claim to be growing your strength, makes no political sense. Unless you are expecting a powerful new member and you don't want to hand him a party structure he had no hand in building.

Multiple party insiders have confirmed that Otti is set to formally meet with President Tinubu to perfect plans for his defection to the APC ahead of the 2027 governorship election. As one Abuja based APC source put it, allowing congresses to proceed before Otti's formal entry would risk entrenching a leadership structure outside his influence. The suspension creates a political window for him to walk in and take charge before new executives emerge. And Abia is not the only state where this is happening. APC also suspended its congresses in Adamawa State amid similar speculation about Governor Fintiri's possible defection. The pattern is impossible to ignore.

Months of Pressure: How Tinubu Has Been Hunting Otti

This didn't happen overnight. For months, the pressure on Alex Otti to abandon Labour and join APC has been relentless. From Abuja there were quiet conversations and strategic overtures. From inside Abia, APC politicians played a rougher game.

Orji Uzor Kalu, the former Abia governor and senator, declared publicly on the same day the congress suspension letter arrived that he would oppose Otti's re-election in 2027. He dressed it up in talk of personal friendship, but the declaration was a warning shot. Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, was even more direct. At a public event he openly invited Otti to join APC, saying "If he comes to our party, we will support him." That sounds like an invitation. In context, it reads like a velvet ultimatum.

Otti refused to dignify it publicly. But not responding is not the same as not feeling the heat.

Why Otti May Finally Be Tempted

To understand why Otti may now be considering what he denied for months, you have to understand the state of the Labour Party today. And the state of the Labour Party today is, simply put, a disaster.

The crisis centered on Julius Abure, who refused to leave when his tenure as National Chairman expired. What followed was a years long legal and political war that turned the party that represented hope for millions into a symbol of the very dysfunction it had campaigned against. The Supreme Court ruled in April 2025 that Abure's tenure had expired and that the Nenadi Usman led caretaker committee was the legitimate leadership. Clear. Final. Supreme. And yet Abure reportedly filed over twenty court cases across the federation refusing to accept the verdict. The Usman faction was still calling for his arrest just days before the Abia congress suspension story broke, accusing him of invading the party secretariat.

This is the party that is supposed to platform Otti's re-election in 2027. A party where factions accuse each other of armed robbery. A party whose secretariat is a contested battleground. A party whose own internal war has produced more lawsuits than policy positions.

Then came the final blow. Peter Obi left.

When Obi Walked Out, He Left Otti Exposed

On December 31, 2025, Peter Obi formally defected from Labour to the African Democratic Congress, taking senators, lawmakers, and the moral energy of the Obidient movement with him. Otti had known it was coming and gave Obi his blessings while vowing to stay and rescue Labour. Noble words. But Obi's departure changed the arithmetic completely.

Obi had been Otti's most powerful political shield. Together they fought to reform Labour from within. With Obi gone, Otti found himself isolated inside a party that had already accused him of sponsoring an insurrection against its leadership. The Abure faction even mocked him publicly, saying it was not too late for him to follow his political leader out the door.

Being publicly taunted by your own party while facing a hostile political class backed by federal money is not the foundation on which any serious politician builds a re-election campaign. For Otti, the calculation became unavoidable. Can a party this fractured conduct a credible primary and mount a competitive 2027 campaign? And if there is any doubt, can he afford to gamble his governorship on finding out?

What This Means for Obi and the South East

If Otti crosses the aisle, the damage to Peter Obi's political project in the South East would be severe. Otti is not just any governor. He is the last Labour Party governor in the country. His presence in Labour was proof that the 2023 wave was not entirely washed away. Lose him and Labour becomes a party with no executive leadership anywhere in Nigeria.

But the deeper wound is symbolic. Otti's potential defection sends a demoralising signal to millions of Obidients across the South East: that even the men who stood with Obi in 2023 have concluded that fighting Tinubu from outside is futile. That the only path to political survival runs through Abuja. For Obi, who is already navigating the complicated internal politics of the ADC while sharing space with Atiku Abubakar, losing the South East's only executive stronghold is a serious blow to his 2027 presidential ambitions.

Tinubu's One Party Dream and the Death of Real Opposition

This is where the story stops being just about Otti and becomes about all of us. What is happening in Abia is part of a deliberate, systematic effort to make meaningful opposition structurally impossible in Nigeria. The strategy is straightforward: weaken every opposition platform, absorb every powerful figure who shows viability, and ensure that by 2027, the APC is the only serious game in town. Not by winning arguments or delivering governance, but by making membership in APC the only credible path to political survival.

And the cruel irony is that even after all of this, Tinubu still behaves like a man terrified of a free and fair election. A president confident in his record does not need to eliminate the opposition. He welcomes it. The fact that alarm bells about 2027 rigging are already ringing tells you everything about the true nature of this consolidation project.

Nigeria's democracy is 25 years old. And yet we are watching a Supreme Court ruling gather dust while a lower court is needed to enforce it. We are watching the last Labour governor contemplate crossing the floor not because APC has better ideas, but because Labour's house is on fire and Tinubu is holding the only fire extinguisher.

Alex Otti has not officially confirmed anything. But a political congress suspended for "ongoing consultations" in a state where the only man who matters is a Labour Party governor is not subtle. The trap is set. Whether Otti steps into it and what that means for everyone who voted for change in 2023 is the question that will define this political season.

He has failed to deliver as promised
His social media presence is heavier than actual dividends promised to the people
Are abians complaining nope
Why?
Because PDP through OUK,T.A. and Okezie left Abia State dirty and poverty stricken

Trump wanted to bomb the terrorists, not Nigeria.

Is Nigeria a synonym of terrorist?

The lobby by Tinubu was a waste of money. Trump and US lawmakers still believe that Christian genocide still exist in Nigeria. No lobby or propaganda can cancel that.

Riley Moore came physically by himself and visited Benue to see the largest IDP camp in Nigeria.

Tinubu was lucky that he wasn't deceived by his advisers who were shouting 'sovereignty' up and down. If he was stubborn like Maduro, Trump would have kept him in same basket as Terrorist.

Finally, it is the Onitsha main market screwdriver seller that played the best masterstroke here. Let's hope US troops arrival will offer a better fight against the terrorists.
