Some Obidients had complained that Obidients that moved with Peter Obi were being denied tickets and that hard core politicians who paid were being given tickets instead.

The leaders of the NDC know that obidients are toxic people and can't be trusted, their loyalty needed to be proven before ticket can be give or contested for. NDC are trying to avoid what happened in Labour party

planetx:
What difference would it make if she tells women not to do ashawo, would they listen to her? So she gave the best advice under the current circumstances.

This is the most foooolish comment of this century. Oga read over and over again, you make no sense , even worse than Murayo post.

mecuries:
Since you are sharing Mike Arnold's post, why don't you share the others he has written about this current government?

No one is holding you , share it, it's a free world.

You couldn't contribute on the subject of the thread

This country is not ready to end insecurity to be honest. Rehabilitation will encourage more terrorists, more people will join in hope that if they are caught, government will do nothing but rather give them money for the atrocities committed

FSBoperator:
The judge will declare you a meddlesome interloper and the APC lawyers will demand the court impose a fine on you and your legal team for wasting the court's time and to recompense the APC of all legal fees in the frivolous case you filed against them.

The only people who can challenge the outcome of the primaries are registered APC members and the sole individual who contested against Tinubu in the primaries.

Thank you so much for exposing their stupidity. They will learn by force even in a hardest way .

helinues:
He should allow the politicians to fix the issue they created without escalating the issue

There are some things some of you don't know. Would the bandits, terrorists have the confidence to operate in SW without having local collaborators?

You are absolutely correct, even most of the terrorists are living among people in the towns where they carry out their atrocities though there are some hiding in the forest .

Which of the 3 emerginging candidate ( faction) would be the ADC flag bearer at the 2027 polls?

crazygod:
Did you just say Tinubu tried to remove area boys from Lagos? Oga, Tinubu is the national area boys commander

Yes he tried to but when it didn't work, he accomodate them. Do your research .

crazygod:
It's easy.
1. All the "owo mi da" crew should be cleared
2. Public transporters should obey traffic laws and stop picking up or dropping passengers on the middle of the road
3. Unnecessary check points in the state should be stopped.
With this three points especially that No 1, traffic will move smoothly.

Past governors including Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode have all tried to put an end to " owo mi da " but not worked instead they all worked with them like the present governor Samwo is doing .

Whenever they try to end it, it resulted in Union strike, since BRT buses alone can't be enough to convey everybody.

The most annoying thing is that they is to effect strike when workers have left their respective homes for work thereby causing crowd in bus stops during the closing time. To return home becomes problem resulting in high transport fare.

OredoPikin:
All these arsenal fans

Never write arsenal off. The current have the best defenders in the world. Their stat speaks louder.

It's 50 - 50 . Those goals you saw against during PSG against Bayern will never happen against arsenal . Mark this post. Coming from the real Madrid fan

Wike was a motor park boy washing Senator Mbata's cars and clothes in 1996.

He now fought and betrayed Mbata.


Without Mbata where is Wike today?

Wike didn't betray Mbata. That's an outrageous accudation. Share evidence to back your claim

You are the one foolish comment. That's the fact t

ddippset:
Wike is defending what he feels belongs to him.

Is there anyone who Wike brought from heaven?

90 percent of that structure was passed from Odili to Amaechi to Wike.

So how does it belong to him?


See how you people talk like you forgot your brain box somewhere?

Did Fubara knows how he won the governorship race from primary? It's Wike who orchestrated everything , after becoming the governor, he's fighting wike. If not for Wike, he won't be where he is today.

It's only a person who became politician yesterday or who just started politics will support Fubara in the fight with Wike.

Those that support Fubara don't understand how politics works, if the do, the would do otherwise.

Wike is defending whatever he feels belongs to him, what make him so powerful ( STRUCTURE )to singlehandedly made Fubara a governor. Fubara want to destroy the structure that made him a governor and expect wike to be silent, in so doing render him powerless and irrelevant in River state politics .

Can anyone supporting Fubara takes that?

Tenses:
Blockage of governance wastage is the solution.

PO has always advocated that he will stop governance wastage and theft. And with his "from consumption to production" policies the burdens of fuel subsidy removal will not be felt.

instead of favouring politicians, PO government will be favourable to the common man.

Once PO is elected the north will be the next goldmine.

Nigerians will be prosperous.

Omo see peter Obi marketer , let's here from him how he wanna achieve all you listed, some of you think managing economy is as fast as making ogbono soup.

Though Tinubu is underachieve but too soon to call him failure. It's just 3 years in office
When election come March, he's fate would be determined.

Not his supporter though

This desperation is not here o, those people who are calling a sitting president OTP are now begging for OTP. What an irony!

Op don enter wahala, feminist which majority of them are single mother will come aafter your head.
Watch out!

Beautifulday:
Anybody who doesn't like the combo can go to that party you just suggested.

They can only go to NDC but not PRP cos Kola Abiola was the presidential candidate of PRP in 2023 and a Yoruba man, there's no way he would allow them to dictate for the party .

Goo0dHardDick:
Nigerians will. It should be a periodic election!

There's no way the selection won't pass through security check and who controls security if not president . Anyways time will tell if this propose actually surface

GOFRONT:
Oh Clarus ALIAS 4:30.

Rest in perfect peace

Chief Xebudaya is the one with 4. 39 as his alias not clarus

Goo0dHardDick:
The constitution should be amended to stop presidents from appointing inec chairman.

Who then will appoint the INEC Chairman?

Goo0dHardDick:
It is even stupid for a president to appoint the inec chairman himself. Was he expecting the chairman to work against him? Ur boss?

Who appointed Attairu Jega? Who presided over 2015 elections, was it not former president Jonathan that appoint him?

DeclanR:
I mentioned this even two weeks before now and I'm glad it has finally happened.

He will go down history as the worst power minister Nigeria ever had. The guy looted enough funds in order to enhance his gubernatorial campaigns. It's quite sad that he's the next Oyo State governor cos I can't see GSM getting it for his anointed successor

Penkelems is a Mess.

How will a Banker even be minister of power?
I know some will argue that there's nothing wrong in that, but come on, it matters a lot.

Imagine The current ADC spokesman, Abdullahi Bolaji as a former sports minister and Solomon Dalong. These two have no passion for sports and knew nothing in their roles.
How about Fashola a lawyer, and minister of power?
A minister of education who has no knowledge about How education can be improved upon and who never studied any education related courses.
Square pegs in round holes

Go and verify, that's how it is done in America where we copied our democracy. That tell you the differences between the politicians and technocrats.

Those ADC big wigs should use the children and/or grandchildren as polling agent and polling units shield , cos there are polling units that are not violence free, so that they can protect the ballot boxes with their lives .

How can a newly formed coalition party be facing all sorts of imbalance

Why is it difficult for these people to drop their selfish interests, promote fairness within the party and give Nigerians a better choice in 2027 elections

Na wa o

The writing is glaringly on the wall, Tinubu is the better choice ,just think of it though not satisfy with the present state of economy under his watch

Those people leaving the party are those sensible people that went thee to scrutinize the party and make their final decision.

Chelsea 8 - 2 play PSG on both leg.


Chelsea with their group of average players earning high wages/ week. The most annoying is that the would do so for a longer period 5+ years..

naptu2:
I created this post on November 14th, 2025.

WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHY? and HOW?

People have always been asking who, what, why, when and how. It has puzzled me because I can easily see the answers.

In fact, I consider people that ask these questions to be unserious people. They don't really want to know the answers, they just want to attack people that they hate.

People ask who funds the terrorists in the north? How do they get such sophisticated weapons? Why can't the Nigerian Armed Forces, which easily defeated Maitatsine, Liberian, Sierra Leonean and Biafran rebels and which has consistently been praised during UN operations, easily defeat the terrorists in the north? What exactly do the terrorists in the north want? Etc.

You see, the sponsors of the insurrection in Nigeria have always been known. They've been known from the beginning.

However, I realise that I have not written about them since 2016, so here is a summary.

1) Al-Qaeda:

Osama Bin-Ladin came from a wealthy Saudi family. His father owned a large construction company and had close ties to the Saudi Royal Family.

Osama attended many schools in the 1970s, but he left school in 1979 to go and fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He was one of the Muslim fighters that came from all over the world to fight against the Soviets. They received a lot of support from the CIA and that supported was routed through the Pakistani intelligence services.

Bin Ladin had a lot of money, so he created his own group that fought against the Soviets.

In 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait, Bin Ladin offered to use his fighters to defend Saudi Arabia, but the Saudis turned to the US coalition instead.

Osama Bin Ladin was very angry that there were US troops in Saudi Arabia. He felt that it was a desecration of the Holy Land. The United States military set up barracks in Saudi Arabia (to fight the Iraqis) and Osama felt that they were living in sin in the Holy Land. He therefore dedicated his fighters/organisation to fighting against the US and expelling them from Saudi Arabia.

Al-Qaeda bombed the World Trade Center in New York in 1993. This was the incident that brought Al-Qaeda to public attention. They parked a bomb-laden Toyota mini-bus in the underground parking lot of the World Trade Center and set off the bombs.

I have told you that I woke up one day in 1998 to hear the crazy news that American embassies in Africa had been bombed. Al-Qaeda set off massive bombs in the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

In response the Clinton Administration bombed targets in Sudan and Afghanistan and gave Sudan a deadline to expel Osama Bin Ladin (it was later discovered that Sudan had already expelled him and the target that was bombed in Sudan was a civilian factory and had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda. The owner of the factory sued the US Government and won).

In 2000 Al-Qaeda put bombs on a speed boat and used it to ram an American warship, the USS Cole, in a port in Yemen.

Of course everybody knows about the September 11th, 2001 attacks.

In 2003 Osama Bin Ladin made a broadcast in which he said that Muslims were being killed in certain countries and he called on Muslims to rise up against the governments of those countries. Nigeria was one of the countries that he listed (I have posted his 2003 message on Nairaland in the post, but I'm too lazy to go and look for it). Everybody thought that he was mad (he obviously was mad).

In 2009 Al-Jazeera broadcast videos of the killing of Boko Haram suspects in Nigeria. Osama Bin Ladin made another broadcast calling on Muslims in Nigeria to rise up against their government.

It looked like Boko Haram was finished after the Nigerian Government cracked down on them in 2009, but Al-Qaeda offered them money, weapons and training. Shekau, the new leader of Boko Haram, pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda and the terror group began an even worse series of attacks in 2010/2011.

2) ISIS:

Sadam Hussein was a member of the Bath Party, a socialist party that was popular in Iraq and Syria. Remember that I told you that the left does not emphasise religion? Well, religion was not important to Saddam Hussein. In fact, there was a funny and embarrassing incident that occurred when Saddam had to pray in public. He did not know the prayers (remember, Muslims are supposed to pray 5 times a day).

That's why you know that US officials were talking nonsense when they claimed that Saddam had something to do with the 9/11 attacks. Osama Bin Ladin and his crew hated Saddam. Many Muslim extremists believed that Saddam was used by the US to attack Iran during the Iran-Iraq War and they hated Saddam.

But anyway, the US invaded Iraq in 2003 and this brought in many foreign Muslim fighters that came to fight the Americans.

Some Iraqi Muslims also became militant and took up arms to fight the Americans. One of them was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He formed the Islamic State (IS). The goal of the Islamic State was to form a worldwide Islamic Caliphate. The group believes that it represents all Muslims, but in actual fact most Muslims reject them.

It has many branches and it us most known by the acronym of one of its branches Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

There was a split in Boko Haram. The son of Mohammed Yusuf, Habib Yusuf (aka Abu Musab al-Barnawi), said that Abbakar Shekau had become too extreme. He said that Shekau was killing Muslims and kidnapping children and that this was wrong. He said that Boko Haram's actions were unislamic.

Abu Musab al-Barnawi created a new group and pledged allegiance to IS. His new group was called Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). They get money, training, equipment and other forms of support from other Islamic State branches around the world.

I have been writing since 2011 that the terrorists in northern Nigeria are not trying to break away from Nigeria (as some thought back then), rather they are trying to take over the whole of West Africa (including southern Nigeria) in order to make it part of a global caliphate. Take note of the names of the organisations that I will mention in this post.

ISWAP fought against both Boko Haram and the Nigerian Army. Indeed, at the beginning, ISWAP almost destroyed Boko Haram.

ISWAP fighters cornered Abubakar Shekau (the leader of Boko Haram) and Shekau killed himself in order to evade capture. Many Boko Haram fighters switched allegiance to ISWAP.

The only thing that prevented Boko Haram from totally collapsing was the fact that it was receiving support from Al-Qaeda.

The other groups in this list are based in Africa.

3) AQIM:

This was one of those issues that I talked about quite often in the 1990s.

You see, the United States of America says that it is a great democracy and that it supports democracy all over the world, so why did this happen? (That's the question that I often asked people in the 1990s).

Africa was democratising in the 1990s. Many African countries that were either military dictatorships or civilian one-party states were embracing multi-party democracy. Algerian was one of such countries.

Like the others, Algeria had a major election in 1992. The Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) was poised to win the election and I remember clearly that the United States and the Algerian Government did everything to frustrate the FIS.

It didn't work and Algerians overwhelmingly voted for the FIS. Then, suddenly, there was a (US-backed) military coup. The new military leaders imprisoned President Chadli Bendjedid (a former military officer who had been president since 1979) and banned the FIS.

(Imagine that! The US that is a beacon of democracy now supporting a military coup).

Obviously the coup was staged to prevent the Islamic party from gaining power via the ballot box. As a result, many armed Islamic groups sprang up.

Algeria was a mess in the 1990s. There were constant bomb explosions, fighting, etc. It kind of seemed like it faded out in the early 2000s, but then it reappeared during the War on Terror.

Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) evolved from one of those groups that fought the Algerian Government in the 1990s.

The Maghreb is basically the north-west region of Africa. It includes Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania and Western Sahara (aka Sahrawi Republic). AQIM is mostly active in Algeria, Libya and Mauritania.

Remember what I said about a global caliphate? AQIM leads Al-Qaeda's attempt to conquer the whole of north-west Africa.

AQIM has focused on kidnapping for ransom as a means of raising funds and is estimated to have raised more than $50 million in the last decade. This organisation is one of the main sources of support for terrorist groups in Africa. They provide support to Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al-Shabab in Somalia and JNIM in Mali (in fact, JNIM is an offshoot of AQIM). They provide money, weapons and training to these groups.

Since 2011 there have often been reports of "white men" being seen assisting Boko Haram militants and bandits in northern Nigeria. I have a strong suspicion that these "white men" are AQIM militants.


4) Al-Shabaab

This section basically contains summaries of many of my old posts. You can search for the original posts if you want more information.

I told you that East Africa was one of the venues of the proxy wars between the East and West blocks (Soviet Union vs the United States). Somalia was ruled by a dictator called General Mohammed Siad Barre. Somalia and Barre were backed by the United States/CIA.

Ethiopia was ruled by a dictator called Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam. Ethiopia and Mengistu were backed by the Soviet Union/KGB.

I've posted videos (on this thread) of Barre visiting Washington and meeting Reagan. I've also posted videos of Mengistu visiting Moscow and meeting with Brezhnev. I posted videos of Barre threatening Ethiopia, the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union and I posted videos of Mengistu threatening Somalia, the United States and NATO).

Somalia and Ethiopia had direct skirmishes, but most of the conflict was prosecuted using proxies. Somalia supported Ethiopian rebels and Ethiopia supported Somalian rebels.

The Cold War came to an end and the two superpowers stopped supporting their proxies. Siad Barre fled to Lagos when rebels were marching on his presidential palace and Mengistu fled to Zimbabwe when rebels were marching on his presidential palace.

The Ethiopians were able to manage the situation bettter than the Somalians..Eritrea peacefully broke away from Ethiopia after Mengistu fled. There have been a few wars between Ethiopia and Eritrea since 1991 and there have civil wars within Ethiopia, but the country has remained relatively stable.

Somalia has fared worse. There has been no country-wide stable government in Somalia since Barre fled in 1991.

As I told you, all the rebel groups that chased Barre away, started fighting against each other as soon as Barre left. Somalia became a country of warlords with each warlord controlling a section of the country.

I created several posts (and took over an entire thread) about the United Nations intervention in Somalia in the early and mid-1990s. This intervention ended in disaster when the UN and most especially the United States became embroiled in a war with one of the most powerful warlords Mohammed Farah Aideed. Firstly Pakistani troops were killed by Aideed's forces. US troops tried to capture Aideed, but this resulted in several US soldiers being killed and their bodies were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu.

This frightened the Clinton Administration which had promised (during the election campaign) that it would keep out of foreign wars. This was one of the reasons why they did not intervene in the genocide in Rwanda.

So Somalia became a lawless country and remained so throughout the 1990s, despite the efforts of the UN to restore order. Most of the UN backed governments had to operate from outside the country or from small parts of Mogadishu.

The Sharia courts in Somalia decided that the country was too unstable and unsafe. They formed an alliance, set up a military force and were able to take control of most of the country. This was in the early 2000s.


As I said earlier, there were several UN backed or internationally recognjsed governments of Somalia, but these governments either operated from outside Somalia or they only controlled small parts of Mogadishu.

Ethiopia (backed by the United States) decided to invade Somalia to install the Transition Federal Government all over the country.

The Ethiopians (supported by a small covert force of American soldiers) was able to overthrow the Islamic Courts Union and take over the country, but this immediately led to an insurgency. Jihadist groups began a massive terror campaign against the Ethiopians. The biggest of these groups was Al-Shabaab, which was created by some former fighters of the Islamic Courts Union and others.

Al-Shabaab was able to recapture much of the country from the Ethiopians and Americans. They inflicted severe losses of the Ethiopians through their bombing and terror campaign and the Ethiopians pulled out of Somalia in 2009. The Ethiopian presence in Somalia lasted from 2006 till 2009.

I have written that various international organisations and countries have tried to restore peace in Somalia. Well, it was time for the African Union to take up that role. The AU created the African Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), a peacekeeping force that was to go into Somalia, take over from the Ethiopians and help the government to restore peace. AMISOM soldiers came from East and Central African countries (like Uganda and Burundi) and Nigeria. Al Shabaab began targetting the African countries that contributed troops to AMISOM. There were bomb attacks in Kampala, Uganda and Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia. Al-Shabaab also began assisting Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Kenyan troops invaded Somalia in order to fight Al-Shabaab. They later integrated their troops into AMISOM. This led to one of the most infamous terrorist attacks in Africa. We monitores that terror attack live on Nairaland.

The Westgate Mall is one of the biggest shopping malls in Nairobi, Kenya. Al-Shabaab militants crossed into Kenya and attacked the mall. We could see videos and pictures that were taken by shoppers that were trapped inside the mall. The first people to respond to the attack were armed volunteers who lived in the neighbourhood.

People from all over Africa, especially Kenya, were on that Nairaland thread. Unfortunately the Somali super troll, Ayanle, was also on the thread

The issue with Ayanle (and his hundred accounts) was that he believed that Somalis were not black and that they were of a race that was superior to blacks (whom he called Bantus). So he would attack threads and completely derail them with his belief that Somalis were superior to blacks. He was a very virulent troll and nobody could stop him (he's probably the worst troll in Nairaland's history).

However, we stopped him on that day.

I was angry. People had just died, Kenyans on the thread werw worried and this Ayanle character was trolling them. I got the moderator to attack Ayanle. Ayanle went through many accounts (that's why you'll see many blank pages), but I was determined. After a while the moderator was also very determined and I didn't have to do anything again. For the first time in Nairaland's history, Ayanle was worn out. He stopped attacking the thread.

90 pages of live monitoring of the Westgate Mall attack by people from all over Africa.

Al-Shabaab has received money, training and other forms of support from Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Al-Shabaab has also provided training and other forms of support to Boko Haram. Boko Haram militants have been to Somalia to learn from and train with Al-Shabaab.

5) JNIM

I have told you about how the Malian jihadist group, Ansar Dine, took over large swathes of territory and this led to an international force being deployed to Mali to repel them. Boko Haram fighters were seen in Mali, fighting side by side with Ansar Dine militants. They kidnapped and ambassador in Mali and engaged in other terror attacks. They could be distinguished from other fighters because they spoke Hausa, rather than the local language.

You might also remember the 2016 attack on a hotel in Burkina Faso. An international conference was taking place there and rumours spread that Aliko Dangote was trapped in the hotel. However, Dangote denied that he was in the hotel and said that he could not travel to the conference. The attack was carried out by the Sahelian branch of AQIM.

Ansar Dine, the Sahelian branch of AQIM and other jihadist groups merged and created Jama'at Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (JNIM).

JNIM has become one of the most powerful terrorist groups in West Africa. They have imposed a blockade of Mali and people cannot get petrol because of them.

There was a report last week (I don't know if it is true) that elements of JNIM were in Nigeria.


6) Other sources.

I have told you a lot about these other sources.

I told you that one of the reasons why Boko Haram hates the Navy Base on Lake Chad is because it affects their revenue. Lake Chad is a huge source of fish and Boko Haram taxes the fisherfolk. You must pay Boko Haram before you can fish. However, the Nigerian Military disrupts this source of funds and Boko Haram does not like it.

I told you about the time that Boko Haram invaded the navy base. They captured some naval ratings and executed them while filming the execution (they released the video to journalists. The Army came a few days later and chased them away.

In fact, in the early days, Boko Haram also engaged in bank robberies in order to raise cash.

They've also made money from kidbapping people and they also toll roads (you have to pay them before you can pass). They also tax people in areas that they capture.


Propaganda and spin

So ignore the propaganda and spin, Boko Haram was not funded by Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari, Sultan of Sokoto, APC, PDP, northern elders, etc. In fact, Boko Haram, ISWAP and other terrorists in the north would kill these people if they catch them. These things that I wrote above are the real sources of funds and weapons of Boko Haram, ISWAP and other terrorists in Northern Nigeria.

Very informative, kudos naptu, you really clear the air
