Foreign Affairs › Re: Military Coup In Benin Republic: Soldiers Announce takeover On Live TV (Pics) by dequir: 11:40am On Dec 07, 2025
The only reason for any emergence of coup in Nigeria is if the spreading bandit insurgency in the country is not quickly curtailed. Outside that, it will be difficult for any military take over to succeed.

dederocs:
Take your time to read slowly, for the other coups to survive this long means the people did not enjoy their democracy.
You are getting it wrong. The long tenure of any military government in power only means that, the people, who had no say when the military take over was executed, are fearful of the unconstitutional martial rule under which they now exist.

That means they are being forcefully ruled by the order of guns which condone no opposition.

The convoluted nonsense written for decayed scraps thrown at the author in compensation, is a symptom of Stockholm syndrome affliction from deliberate impoverishment of people by our politicians, especially those in APC.
You and your Stockholm Syndrome in every comment.

When will you be tired of the cliche?

Find another one, the creator of the cliche has already developed PTSD because of your constant use of it.

Spare him.

Maybe those ones sha. Mine I'm not tolerating, I'm just living life how it should be. I don't know about my wife though. But one thing I think I've been able to make her realize is helping her know that religion is a big scam with evidences, so tey right now she can argue against religion publicly, whereas I do mine privately and only online. I wonder where she got her own courage from grin
I pity your wife. You have succeeded in making her a child of hell by wrongly convincing her on the non existence of heaven and hell for good and bad people.

And worse, you are gloating about the d£vilish outcome. Well, you will soon come to the full realisation of your errors. I hope it will not be too late.

Oga, I want you to drop politics and such and listen to my points

Lagos budget for this year is less than 2.5 billion dollars.

Is that sufficient for a city of Lagos size? Does it not show that tinubu did nothing to make Lagos better than it is.

Same thing with obi.

Lagos and Anambra are still poor and broke as they were before obi and tinubu took over because both governors and their fellow governor's are too timid to fight corruption, tax more of the gdp and focus on developing a economy that is attractive to investment and industrialization.

That is why I say both are equal.

The problem with Nigeria is our leadership inability to make money

Like Lagos now. 2.5 billion dollars. No wonder most of the city is a slum.

Same thing with all of Nigeria because all of you want leaders who will share money and build modern day pyramids
Like a monster that won't let go of its victims, Mr. Tax on the beat again. And just like the inglorious French Louis XIV era, he is berating the abject poor-man for not dipping his hands in his almost empty pockets and give his last coins to the greedy filthy rich rulers of the kingdom, to enable them to continue living their voluptuous lifestyle.

No pity for the wretched of the earth, none at all.

They dont need to move any motion
Nigeria as an entity expired 2014 and thats like 11years ago
Any tribe that wishes to leave can leave and the other part shouldn't stop them like Buhari did and Tinubu is trying to do
But will division solve our problems?
capital NO
A Yoruba or igbo etc nation will still end up like Nigeria.
An Ekiti will start telling u they have nothing common with ijebu
An Ebonyi man will say he has nothing common with Anambra.
Our current diversity is supposed to be our strength but we have allowed politicians planted so hatred for their own selfish interest.
A united Nigeria against the few politicians is the only solution
Anything aside that is just creating a mini Nigeria with same problem
You forgot to mention that an Auchi or Esan man will say he is not of Edo origin, and then demand separation from Edo State.

Just helping you.

Politics › Re: How Did Reno Omokri Become Tinubu's Friend? by dequir: 1:30pm On Dec 01, 2025
To be successful, you must be flexible with everything, except God’s natural laws. You are not a tree. You have the ability to adjust to situations. Make peace with your enemies wherever and whenever possible. That you quarrelled yesterday doesn't mean you must row for the rest of your days. If you have to drive a jalopy and wear the same clothes while waiting for profit or take a loss to be the boss, then so be it. Close your mind to what people will say. People will always talk, and if you listen, you, too, will always baulk. Only what God says matters!

Babatundehy:
You can also decide to Eat that meal of plain veggies with love and ALONE, this is life man, you can't be too prepared, with that income they'll not have no savings, have to deal with little debts, not eat good, live good. If they decide to have a kid, what happens when that kid falls sick and they need 40,000 urgently? Have you checked what it costs now to be pregnant and have a baby? what happens when the mother cannot express much and the baby needs to be on formula for a few months 😂
The other day I saw on Tiktok how a lady whose baby couldn't take cow milk based formula because the baby was allergic to it, only goat milk based formula was okay for that baby, she was on there on Tiktok begging for help and showing videos of the baby, anyone could tell that baby wasn't eating good, goat milk based formulas are more expensive, people don't pray for these things but they still happen, the only way is to not do anything just because you have the minimum or because you believe in miracles or that "things will work out" things don't just work out because you need them to.
Why didn't the lady feed the baby akamu (local pap)? That's what many of us were fed with when we were baby, and we did not die. The baby will not die if it is fed with it.

If the baby has goat milk guzzling affection, the baby should have choosed a goat-herd family to be born into.

Stop this lame talk abeg... Don't ascribe integrity to conmen like Reno.

Reno is a hireling and political jobber, same as FFK.

He played the game shamelessly and desperately to get his own share of the national cake Tinubu was doling out.


If Obi or Atiku had won, he would have dragged Tinubu and his supporters far worse.
When did you become obidients' co-traveller, I am surprised.

You had better stick to your football analyst career on Nairaland where you are better respected, than stick your nose in the dirty political and tribal mud-slinging of this platform and attract hat£.

OnyeObowo1:
Democracy is a scam..
We need military or divide the country

Period
_*▪️THE PARABLE OF THE CRACKED WALL.*_

In the city of Niraya, a single great wall stood around the people. It was old but strong, and for generations it protected them from storms, raiders, and wild beasts.

One Morning, a small crack appeared.

The City Elders warned:
“If this crack widens, the wall will fall. And if the wall falls, it will fall on all of us without choosing sides.”

Instead of joining hands to repair it, the people became divided in surprising ways.

_1. The Rejoicers._

Those who opposed the city leaders celebrated the crack.

“This is good,” they said. Let it widen. When it collapses, the leaders will be shamed, and we will have our turn.”

They forgot that collapsing stones do not ask who voted for whom.

_2. The Rejecters._

Another faction said: “Nothing must work under this leadership. If we help repair the wall, we are helping them. Let it break.”

Their anger made them prefer destruction over cooperation.

_3. The Misunderstanding Crowd._

Engineers came with tools to fix the crack. But some citizens shouted:

“You want to make life harder!”
“You are the cause of our suffering!”
“You shake the wall because you hate the people!”

They did not understand that repairs require noise, dust, disruption, and temporary hardship.

_4. The Agitators._

The Whisperers of Chaos moved through the market, whispering:

“Look at the hardship. Look at your hunger. Rise up. Bring down the Council.The crack proves they have failed.Tear the wall down yourselves!”

They used frustration to bait insurrection.

_5. The Loyalists Who Saw Nothing._

There were also people whodid not see the crack at all.

Why?, Because their kin, their allies, or their preferred group was in leadership.

“To us, nothing is wrong, - they said. The wall looks perfect because those we like are guarding it.”

Their loyalty blinded them to the danger before everyone’s eyes.

_6. The Decorators._

Some did see the crack but decided it was harmless, but even beautiful.

“Ah, the wall now has character,” they said. It is not a threat; it is a natural design. Why worry?”

They mistook danger for decoration.

_7. The External Enemy._

Outside the city, Niraya’s long-time enemies watched and laughed.

“They are too divided to fix the crack,” they said.
“They quarrel more than they think. They will destroy their own protection for us.”

All they had to do was wait.

_8. The Silenced Voice._

A wise woman named _*Naya*_ climbed a stone and cried: “The crack is the true enemy! Not the leaders, not the engineers, not your neighbour, not your rival faction. If the wall collapses, it will not care about your politics, Loyalty, or anger. It will crush us ALL.”

But instead of listening, the people shouted back:

“You support them!”
“You are blind!”
“You are part of the problem,
"You want to silence our pain!”

Anyone who suggested another perspective was attacked and rejected. Everyone saw a different enemy - except the real on

THE FALL OF THE WALL

One night, the crack grew into a gap, the gap widened into a split, and the split turned into a ROAR.

The wall collapsed._

Wolves poured in.
Fire swept through streets.
Chaos filled the markets.
Homes crumbled.
Food disappeared.
The city fell into darkness.

Those who rejoiced suffered.

Those who rejected cooperation suffered.

Those who misunderstood suffered.

Those who agitated suffered.

Those who saw nothing suffered.

Those who praised the crack suffered.

The innocent suffered most of all.

Because when a wall falls, it does not choose sides.

Wailers seems to have watched too many American detective movies to confuse reality with fiction....

I have read so many delusional ones among them asking the Nigeria govt what happened to the kidnappers....

Why were their heds not brought with those they kidnapped....

I can excuse the wailers who are kids without proper home training.... What do we call the old men like Atiku among them....

As sophisticated as The US, with all it's advanced army and detectives...

They failed in their Operation Eagle claw to rescue 52 hostages in Tehran... Leading to death of 8 of their officers...

They failed in operation urgent fury when US forces attempted to rescue adopted American students in Grenada.... 3 of the students were killed in Cross fire.... With 19 American forces killed..

The American biggest hostage rescue failure was the Black Hawk Down to rescue hundreds of UN hostages in Somalia....
18 US soldiers lost their lives... Over 70 were injured..
Over 1000 somalis many innocent civilians were killed...

As powerful as Israel.... When Hamas took over 200 of their citizens hostages....

They tried to use force.... Killing over 85 of the captives, successfully freed 4.....

And were forced to negotiate the freedom of the others in a swap deal....

The level of ignorance and delusional thinking of wailers make some of us wonder why God dump us to cohabit with millions of dum*bs...

How were they expecting the Nigeria security agents to rescue this innocent kids with massive bloodshed...

Sincerely....
