Man really spoke his mind I don't blame me maybe he has lost some member of his family and probably has paid ransom or contributed to the payment of ransom on two or three occasion

Ok The question is can Tinubu give all these orders?

I'm not trying to speak against him, but this was a man who was running away from debate during the presidential election and when he was to eventually speak he gave the microphone to nasir El rufai to speak on his behalf because he knew hr knows he talks incoherently

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has spent years openly defending bandits who kidnap, rape and murder Nigerians in cold blood. He calls them “victims of injustice,” opposes their terrorist designation, begs for amnesty, and dismisses mass abductions as propaganda. In a country that has lost thousands of citizens and seen millions displaced by these same criminals, such rhetoric does not qualify as mediation – it is outright apologism that emboldens killers, demoralises troops and erodes the state’s legitimacy.
Allowing a man who repeatedly justifies terrorism to walk free while security forces die fighting the monsters he humanises is a national security absurdity. Neutralising Gumi – through arrest and prosecution under existing anti-terror laws – is no longer a debate; it is a necessity.
The absurdity reached peak irony in September 2025 when Gumi’s own son, Abdulrahaman, graduated from the Nigerian Defence Academy and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. The same Army battling the bandits Gumi courts has now trained, uniformed and armed his heir. In any serious country, the child of a high-profile terrorist sympathiser would face the strictest vetting or outright rejection; in Nigeria, he gets salutes and photographs with a proud father who pins the rank himself.

This is not about punishing a son for his father’s sins – it is about basic institutional sanity. When the military fighting a war admits the progeny of a man accused of fraternising with the enemy, it sends one unmistakable message: connections trump security. Nigeria cannot win against terrorism while its most sensitive institutions appear compromised by the very voices undermining the war.
Gumi’s freedom to defend cold-blooded killers and his family’s privileged access to state power are two sides of the same dangerous coin. Both must end – swiftly and decisively.

Is that why they tried so hard to paint Peter obi son as gay ?

EasternActivist:
Tinubu daughter is a lesbian


But no you won't talk about her but project such on innocent Obi's son that is a model

GravityDefier:
But they'll forgive the te*rorists. A disgraced country of particular concern

Today I see what Babangida saw

The old full made sure he tagged an izala handle to curry domb jihadists

Nice one I think this is unbiased

Mishaya:
Less than a month after ordering the release and compensation of an Abuja-based businesswoman, Mrs. Chineze Ozoadibe, the Director General (DG), State Security Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, has ordered the release of one Kenneth Okechukwu Nwafor, arrested in July 2022, for his alleged involvement in the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

Nwafor was also awarded N5 million as compensation for the wrongful arrest and free medicare by the DG.

A source stated that “The DG directed his investigation officers to conduct detailed review of all pending cases, and they have been dutifully doing that. Nwafor’s case is one of such cases.

He just made a tiktok post yesterday

This is very true unfortunately the president is TONE DEAF.

IS IT NOT THE SAME PRESIDENT THAT RAN AWAY FROM EVERY SINGLE DEBATE DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?

AND WHEN IS EVENTUALLY CAME FOR HIM TO SPEAK HE PASSED THE MICROPHONE TO A FORMER GOVERNOR TO SPEAK ON HIS BEHALF BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T SPEAK COHERENTLY

But you're posting like Sheik Gumi. Is that you sir ?

Willy2025:
They never got anything back. They were released based on peace agreement with virtually half of the hostages dead. That's why I said they can't be gotten safely through an act of violence.

Oh they did get a lot back. There was retribution for the terrorists. The entire Gaza strip rendered unliveable and destroyed ,tens of thousands of Hamas dead , their political echelon decimated both home and abroad.

And yes they paid with some hostage blood , but it was worth it

Willy2025:

What did Israel do to Hamas and still got the hostages back ? Site October 7 2023

Willy2025:
Let's appreciate the fact that they are gotten back safe and unhurt. Any attempt to use extra force could result in mass killings of the hostages. Force is rarely used in hostage situations around the world otherwise, they will be killed. The bandits have nothing to lose.

The couple kidnapped in aviele , the fulani herdsmen are asking for ₦50m naira only.


Don't forget that ₦50m equals 57 brand new AK 47 rifles.

And ₦1b is equals to 1157 brand new AK 47 rifles.

And equals 1200 brand new Fulani te**rist recruits

Things are getting serious every single day

ClearFlair:
Very strange happenings. No arrest too

sure could be ransom was paid

Hello are you sure about this

Why are all Nigeria military bases in the north and Muslim north

Chochocho

Ok this is serious Na waooo.

₦1600 = $1

₦3.1 trillion = $ 1.93b

Nigeria SECURES itself with just $1.93b dollars , THERE IS EVERY REASON FOR Y'ALL TO BE WORRIED

Trump and Biafra: An Unlikely Puppet Master?

The user's rhetorical zinger lands squarely: Does Trump look like someone swayed by Biafran groups? Hardly. His foreign policy playbook—transactional deals, evangelical pandering, and aversion to "forever wars"—prioritizes U.S. interests over diaspora lobbying.
Trump's 2017-2021 term ignored Biafran pleas, focusing instead on trade spats with China and ISIS defeats. This 2025 pivot? It's vintage Trump: A nod to his base amid midterm jostling, bolstered by USCIRF reports predating any Kanu missive.
Biafran activists, while vocal on X—urging Trump to "liberate" the southeast amid "Christian genocide,"—lack the clout of AIPAC or Cuban exiles. Their "influence" is a mirage, conjured to portray Igbos as disloyal saboteurs rather than citizens demanding justice.


Breaking the Cycle: Time for Accountability Over Accusations

Nigeria's leaders would do well to heed Trump's thunder not as Igbo-orchestrated sabotage, but as a mirror to their failures. The violence in Plateau and Benue states isn't a Biafran plot; it's a humanitarian crisis demanding federal action—better intelligence, community policing, and equitable resource allocation.bd515e Stoking Yoruba-Igbo divides only weakens the federation, echoing the 1966 pogroms that birthed Biafra.
As one X user lamented, prophets and politicians alike must condemn the killings without tribal caveats. For Tinubu's administration, the real test isn't debunking "Biafra lobbies" but delivering security. Otherwise, these fabrications will only fuel the very separatism they decry. Nigeria deserves better: Unity forged in truth, not tribal smoke screens

A Pattern of Yoruba-Igbo Rivalry: History's Echoes in Modern Politics.


Nigeria's ethnic fault lines, particularly between the Yoruba southwest and Igbo southeast, are no secret. Rooted in colonial-era divisions and the 1967-1970 Biafran War—which killed over a million Igbos—this rivalry has fueled political maneuvering for decades. The 1977 African Cup Winners' Cup final in Lagos, pitting Yoruba-dominated IICC against Igbo-linked Rangers, escalated into riots that required military intervention, underscoring how even sports can ignite tribal tinder.2f378b
Fast-forward to today: Under Tinubu's Yoruba-centric All Progressives Congress (APC), Igbo marginalization—evident in Kanu's detention and southeast infrastructure neglect—breeds resentment. When scandals erupt, like the 2023 fuel subsidy debacle or ongoing naira devaluation, the playbook activates: Demonize the "other." A 2024 study on ethno-religious hostility found that exposure to violence heightens outgroup prejudice, creating a feedback loop where governments exploit it for unity against a common "enemy." In Lagos, Igbo-Yoruba clashes over markets and politics exemplify this, with tactics ranging from economic boycotts to media smears.5ffdbb
Tinubu's era is no exception. As economic heat rises— with inflation hitting 34% in October 2025—blaming Biafra for Trump's barbs serves dual purposes: Rallying Yoruba and northern support while discrediting Igbo calls for equity as "treasonous."

The Biafra Bogeyman: Fabricated Influence or Convenient Scapegoat?


Enter the Nairaland thread that has Nigerian Twitter ablaze: "How Biafra Groups Influenced Trump's Genocide Claim," which alleges a shadowy "coalition of pro-Biafra groups" lobbied U.S. congressmen with "false reports" to provoke Trump.7fe0ee Citing a Guardian Nigeria article, it points to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, as the culprits. Kanu, facing terrorism charges in Abuja, penned an open letter to Trump on November 7, decrying a "hidden genocide" in the southeast and pleading for intervention.The post claims this "separatist agenda" smuggled Biafran nationalism into the Christian persecution narrative, derailing what was supposedly gaining "traction" among U.S. conservatives.
Pro-government voices, including former aide Bashir Ahmad, amplified this on X, sharing U.S. Department of Justice documents purportedly exposing the "Biafra lobby network."Another Nairaland user speculated that Trump's reaction stemmed from "data submitted by IPOB," framing it as a ploy to internationalize Igbo grievances.
This narrative conveniently ignores the broader context. Advocacy for Nigerian Christians has long been driven by U.S. religious freedom watchdogs like Open Doors and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), not fringe separatists.Kanu's letter, while impassioned, postdates Trump's initial remarks by days—hardly causative influence.Critics on X, like @iOccupyNigeria, mock the claim: "So na pro Biafra groups get more intelligence pass U.S. intelligence community? ... Evidence full ground.Even Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) President Wale Oke urged cooperation with Trump, affirming the genocide's reality without mentioning Biafra.
At its core, this is deflection. By painting Igbos as puppet-masters behind foreign meddling, the administration shifts blame from its own security lapses—where military responses remain "late or nonexistent," as one analyst put it.

Trump's Firestorm: A Wake-Up Call or Political Theater?


On November 2, 2025, Trump ignited international headlines by threatening military intervention in Nigeria over what he described as a failure to protect Christians from "genocide.Speaking at a conservative summit, the U.S. president—fresh off his 2024 reelection—accused the Nigerian government of complicity in targeted killings by Islamist groups like Boko Haram and Fulani militias. "Christians are being slaughtered in Nigeria like animals," Trump declared, vowing to designate the country a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC) under U.S. religious freedom laws, potentially unlocking sanctions or aid cuts.Echoing this, Republican lawmakers like Rep. Riley Moore hailed it as a stand against "unrelenting massacre," drawing parallels to global atrocities Trump has long decried.
Nigeria's response was swift and indignant. Information Minister Mohammed Idris dismissed the claims as "baseless," insisting, "There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria.The African Union Commission Chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat, piled on, rejecting the genocide label as an overreach. Even Nigerian advisor Daniel Bwala fired back on X , calling it a fabrication that ignores the country's complex security dynamics.
The reality, as outlets like The Christian Science Monitor note, is messier: Violence in northern and central Nigeria has indeed claimed thousands of Christian lives over the past decade, fueled by jihadist insurgencies and herder-farmer clashes.A U.S. fact-finding team in 2024 corroborated "calculated and long-running" persecution, with over 50,000 Christians displaced or killed since. Yet experts caution against the "genocide" tag, arguing it oversimplifies a web of poverty, resource scarcity, and weak governance rather than a state-orchestrated extermination.Trump's rhetoric, amplified by his evangelical base, aligns more with domestic U.S. politics than nuanced African policy—hardly a surprise from a leader who once mused about "white genocide" in South Africa.

In the sweltering cauldron of Nigerian politics, where economic woes, insecurity, and governance failures often dominate headlines, a familiar script unfolds whenever pressure mounts on the ruling elite. Enter the age-old tactic: ethnic deflection. With President Bola Tinubu—a Yoruba leader backed by southwestern power structures—facing scrutiny over inflation, unemployment, and escalating violence, attention has swiftly pivoted to the Igbo ethnic group in the southeast. The latest salvo? A viral Nairaland forum post and related media narratives claiming that pro-Biafra separatist groups orchestrated U.S. President Donald Trump's recent warnings about "Christian genocide" in Nigeria. This accusation, peddled as "evidence" of Igbo meddling, reeks of desperation—a classic diversion to stoke tribal fires and sideline substantive accountability.
But let's cut through the propaganda: Does Trump, the brash architect of "America First" isolationism, really base his foreign policy on whispers from Biafran activists? The notion strains credulity. As Nigeria grapples with real bloodshed in its Middle Belt and beyond, this blame-shifting not only insults intelligence but perpetuates a toxic cycle of ethnic rivalry that has plagued the nation since independence.
