It is always the Empty Barrels with nothing to lose, that will always purport to make the most noise.

It is politics, it is your prerogative, believe whatever u want, it doesn’t affect reality, after all Gringory Obi claimed he won the general election in 2023.

Trait of an agbadorians is that they always find ways to add Peter Obi to their comments even when it sounds foolish .

Stop Calling Them Terrorists; Call Them Ordinary Criminals” — Nigerian Army Fires Back at Governor Makinde Over Oyo School Kidnap

The Defence Headquarters has faulted Governor Seyi Makinde for calling the kidnappers of Oyo schoolchildren terrorists.

According to the military, the attack was an isolated criminal act and not proof that terrorists have a strong base in the South-West.

DHQ also said security forces had already cleared criminal hideouts around Old Oyo National Park and urged residents not to panic.

However, the statement has sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians arguing that anyone who attacks schools and kidnaps children should be treated as a terrorist, regardless of the name used.

Do you agree with the Nigerian Army or Governor Makinde?

Nigerians need to start raising Quails in their backyards
They multiply very fast

this is the same reason why Nigeria is the way it is .

Who is the Nigerian NSA when the GCFR of Nigeria and US have spoken?

DomPerignon:
It has always been spelt as ibo by the people who own the alphabet you are using.

The switch to Igbo from ibo happened in the late 70s and is only used by you guys

Academic historians and scholars in the west warned of the change as they rightly claim , was a subtle move by you guys to deny in future historic documents that portrayed you guys in the negative light.

A Yoruba guy here even said it was an attempt to claim anywhere in Yoruba land that had Igbo affixtion as Igbo in Yoruba means bush or forest and this poster claimed it was a long con game to claim anywhere Igbo is affixed to names of Yoruba settlements as ancient ibo land.

so you are siding with the white men who claimed to have discovered your ancestors land before them and mispronounced the name of such tribe.
People that enslaved you came and gave you a bad name because they cannot pronounce correctly your language.
Please show me evidence of evil documents portraying Igbos (not your disgusting Ibo) in bad limelight .
We were stubborn to their rule and that is why they will always try to take rubbish about us .

DomPerignon:
Igbo.

There I posted it the way I want .

And why is it even insulting ?

If I address you by a name bastardized by the white man because they cannot pronounce your language would you be happy after I have corrected you that it's not it ?
Anyway thank you for pronouncing it well.

It has always been Igbo by pronoucation , the white man your colonial lord and saviour cannot pronounce Igbo correctly and hence bastardized it to Ibo which is an insult to us .
If you wish to continue to insult us use Ibo .
If you wish to accord some respect to my tribe use Igbo but as usual you will do the former .

Akinboboz:
Dude ,must you be in every threads that has to do with Tinubu...can't you market your own obi without demarketing Tinubu ,kindly live and let's live..

DomPerignon:
This line won't work.

Your fellow obedients are defending this callousness on the part of your people .

A similar thing played out in 2023 with almost all LP candidates running for elected positions in Lagos being Ibos

it's Igbos not ibos and what you state was fabricated by your online merchants .

DomPerignon:
And you think the fulani's will not retaliate across the north if you guys go on a blind massacre of the few fulanis in your SE?

you get the point I am trying to make right ?

Counterigbolies:
just dey play

Your packaged fraud won't even b president for a day

It's okay if he doesn't win .
Anyone that will occupy that office will simply favour my family

Nigeria is at a crossroads once again. The storm clouds are gathering, and if the nation refuses to act decisively and justly, a second civil war may be inevitable. The exclusion of the South East — the homeland of the Igbo people — from the highest office in the land is pushing Nigeria to the brink. If the Igbo are denied the presidency in 2027, the consequences could be catastrophic. Not just politically, but existentially.


The scars of the 1967–1970 Biafra War have never truly healed. Over 3 million Igbos were killed in a war triggered largely by marginalization, ethnic violence, and the fight for justice and inclusion. Yet, 54 years later, the Igbo people have still never been allowed to produce a democratically elected president of Nigeria.

Despite being one of the three major ethnic groups in the country — alongside the Hausa-Fulani and the Yoruba — the Igbos remain politically sidelined at the national level.

Yoruba presidency: 1999–2007 (Olusegun Obasanjo)

Hausa-Fulani presidency: 2007–2023 (Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Muhammadu Buhari)

South-South (Ijaw): 2010–2015 (Goodluck Jonathan)

South East (Igbo): Never


This systematic exclusion is not just unjust — it is unsustainable.

The South East may be the smallest of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones by land mass, but the Igbo people are one of the most widely spread, industrious, and economically impactful ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Igbos control over 60% of Nigeria’s informal trade and business in major cities — Lagos, Kano, Abuja, and beyond.

The region has some of the highest literacy and school enrollment rates in the country.

Igbo Nigerians lead in the diaspora, sending billions in remittances annually and promoting Nigeria’s image globally.

It is politically dangerous and morally indefensible to keep such a group excluded from the presidency while expecting peace and unity.


The rise of pro-Biafra separatist movements like IPOB is not random — it is a direct reaction to decades of marginalization. When a people feel unheard and unwanted, they seek to leave. IPOB, MASSOB, and others have gained traction because the Nigerian state continues to treat the South East as second-class citizens.

Denying the region the presidency in 2027 will radicalize millions of young Igbos already disillusioned with the country. This will turn agitation into full-blown rebellion. And this time, it won’t just be a political crisis — it could be an armed insurrection.


A nation cannot survive when it is built on selective inclusion. You cannot call for unity while promoting exclusion. Every region in Nigeria must have a sense of belonging. Every major ethnic group must see itself represented in the highest office.

Zoning and rotation have been used to maintain balance — North and South taking turns.

The North has ruled for 14 of the last 24 years.

The South West and South South have had their turns.

It is only just that the South East should take its rightful place in 2027.


If zoning is abandoned now that it's the South East’s turn, it will be seen — rightly — as a deliberate strategy to keep Igbos perpetually excluded. That perception will destroy whatever fragile unity still exists in Nigeria.


Nigeria’s youth — more than 60% of the population — are not blind to ethnic injustice. Many young people from all over Nigeria supported Peter Obi, an Igbo man, in the 2023 election, seeing him as a symbol of hope and change. Despite not winning, the message was clear: the South East has national appeal and leadership capacity.

To deny the region in 2027 is to betray a generation looking for fairness. Youth anger in the South East, if left to boil over, will not be limited to protests. It could evolve into an uncontainable security nightmare for Nigeria.

The first civil war was fought with limited weapons and international awareness. A second civil war will be fought in a 21st-century Nigeria filled with armed non-state actors, widespread internet activism, drone technology, and porous borders. A war today will not stay in the East. It will burn across Nigeria and likely draw in foreign interests.

It is better to give justice and preserve peace than to suppress justice and ignite war.


2027 is a moral test for Nigeria. If equity, justice, and national cohesion still matter, the Igbo people must produce the next president. This is not a threat — it is a warning grounded in history, current reality, and future consequence.

To continue to exclude the Igbos is to choose the path of instability, chaos, and perhaps disintegration.

Let us not wait for another war to realize what could have been prevented with wisdom.

If Tinubu wins Nigeria will continue .
If Atiku wins , Nigeria will continue. Stop sounding the drums of war over Igbo presidency. The Igbo man does not give 2 naira about it . Who we are after , is Our local leaders who despite receiving federal allocation don't effect any positive development .
The only thing that can lead to a civil war is invasion of South East and South South by Fulani herdsmen .
I pray it does not get to that .

Who can explain this to me ? Why am I not seeing something like this in south south and the north?

In Uganda, police reportedly took a man accused of witchcraft to court. During the incident, he allegedly summoned a swarm of bees, that caused everyone to scatter but he himself was not stung.

Some might argue that, if such an ability was real, the government could consider monetising if for crowd control

He simply took the queen bee of the colony to the court

For those that want to know.

I read through and I found out that you are nothing more than a liar and false witness .
There was no proof that the money belonged to Peter Obi .
It was found in the vehicle of one of his aides enroute to a contractor who preferred cash over transfer Abi check .
Even on further investigations by the tenacious opposition party , he was found not guilty .
Please try to show the full story .

Egbin Power Plc has shut down operations following a fatal industrial accident involving a contractor during an underwater maintenance exercise.

The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, led to the shutdown of the plant, a major contributor to electricity supply on the national grid.

Confirming the development to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday, the company’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Mr Felix Ofulue, expressed condolences to the family of the deceased.

“Immediately following the incident, established emergency response, safety, and reporting protocols were activated, and the relevant authorities were promptly notified,” he said.

Ofulue said the company was cooperating with relevant authorities to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident, adding that a review was ongoing.

“Egbin Power remains firmly committed to the health, safety, and well-being of all personnel and contractors, and to maintaining the highest standards across its operations,” he added.

‘How it happened’
A source, who preferred anonymity and familiar with the development, told NAN that the contractor was engaged in specialised underwater work at the plant’s pump house when the incident occurred.

The assignment reportedly involved retrieving or stabilising a submerged pumping machine.

The equipment was said to have unexpectedly powered on while the diver was still within the restricted zone.

“The diver went in to carry out a recovery operation inside the lagoon water pump system. Unfortunately, the pump came on unexpectedly and he was trapped and killed by the impeller,” a source said.

According to the source, the deceased contractor was affiliated with Browndive Underwater Services, a firm known for handling complex underwater industrial operations across Nigeria’s oil, gas, and maritime sectors.

President Tinubu's influence over lawmakers may not be enough to prevent his impeachment, as public pressure and demands for accountability continue to mount


Calls for President Bola Tinubu's impeachment are growing louder, with many Nigerians urging lawmakers to take decisive action between May 2026 and June 2026. Despite claims that Tinubu's influence over lawmakers would prevent impeachment, others argue that if enough Nigerians demand accountability, the National Assembly could initiate impeachment proceedings.

Reasons for tinubu impeachment are:
Nigeria's economy is struggling, with rising living costs and unemployment rates.
The country is grappling with insecurity, including Boko Haram and banditry.
Tinubu faces corruption allegations, eroding public trust in his administration.
Critics argue that Tinubu's government has not been transparent or accountable.

Some believe that Tinubu's impeachment is unlikely due to his perceived control over lawmakers. However, others counter that if the public persists in demanding change, lawmakers might be compelled to act.


If Tinubu is impeached, Vice President Kashim Shettima would assume the presidency, unless he declines, in which case Senate President Godswill Akpabio would take over. Some argue that Akpabio's leadership would be preferable to maintain regional balance and uphold the APC constitution's stipulation.

The situation remains fluid, with various factors at play. Will President Tinubu be impeached before June 2026, or will his influence prevail? Only time will tell.

We don't just want an impeachment, we want change across all sectors of leadership.
Uproot the rot which is APC from our political architecture, a party which once advocated for positive change but has delivered negative change in every sector . One that cannot tolerate opposition .

AMINDA:
At least play your politics right first and get the ticket before burning bridges. Obi was Atiku’s Vice in 2019. When did he become bigger than Atiku when he came third in 2023? If Obi goes solo in 2027, he will have less votes than he did in 2023. Every other region plays politics to win but it seems the Southeast plays just to prove a point. A Northerner was Vice to Obasanjo in 1999 and the North became President. A Southsoutherner was Vice to Yar'adua and the Southsouth became President. A Southwesterner was Vice to Buhari and the Southwest is currently President. A Northerner is now Vice to Tinubu and one doesn't even need to be a prophet to know power will be heading North. Being a VP is not subservience, it's strategy.

Only one region is missing from this equation and they keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. The Southwest was in this position where the Southeast currently is and Tinubu seized the opportunity by aligning with Buhari. You may repeat the same cliché and say the Southeast doesn't need the presidency to thrive but unborn children from the East will not be exempted from paying the loans on projects that are only sited in Lagos, other parts of the Southwest and the North. Often times, to gain power, you have to stoop to conquer.

Obi is not desperate to be president,he has already declared that this is his last outing to be the president .
Atiku is like Buhari in all honesty
Gunning for presidency to answer it as a title with no plans for the people .

Neoteny:
At this point i honestly don't think anyone dying in their hands would change the equation. The situation is too far out of control. Imams and traditional rulers and generals and even a former defense chief have all died in the hands of the terrorists... nothing has changed.

The horribly inept, incompetent, corrupt, shallow, hollow, decrepit, morally disfigured northern governors are busy politicking to care what happens in their domain.

The president is so obsessed with his second term and tribal instincts that even the international community is getting concerned about the killings, with the destructive US sending advisory troops.

We're screwed and all we've left is prayer to indifferent gods.

no politician has died or been kidnapped.
It will continue .
