ward ke.....polling unit!

He isnt saying anything that hasn't been said before but you see that pride of accepting reality will be their greatest undoing politically!

The Igbos do well in virtually every other field but when it comes to politics they become emotional and play this self-defeatist game every single time.

Most of them personalize politics a lot. Politics of emotion is nothing but bigotry

Politics is alliance. You don't need all segments of the country to vote you to become president just as 1 or 2 region can never single handedly produce a president.

Just sweep an equivalent of 3 geopolitical zones and drag votes with your opponents in equivalent of 2. Even if you lose massively in the remaining one (which is where SE has consistently positioned themselves since 2015, making them feel politically inconsequential. Any zone that positions itself as such would seem so, even NW with 7 states) you're in.

Also, it's not a must your people vote you just get your allies to vote you like SW didn't massively vote OBJ.

A president can safely lose 5 states in any geopolitical zone and still win. So it's not a SE influence or not thing.

I think it's more of wrong political alliance lately.

I personally warned people in 2014 that the coming buhari and APC will bring doom and calamity in the land, but they were too blind to see and understand.

Look at where we're today.
A liter of fuel is now #1400
A kg of cooking gas now #2000
A bag of rice now #80000 to #100000
A dollar to a naira now #1700
APC are impoverishing Nigeria in their million daily.
Terrorists and bandits has taken over south west.
Nigerians are now too weak and hungry to embark on any meaningful protest.

Seems you have forgotten the pre-2015 calamities. Only an evil person would support a continuation of what we experienced till 2015.

It's only natural for people to want to try something different. However, in 2019 when APC's 4years have been tested, they should have been sent packing. 2023, evil people still supported them. Now, 2027 is coming, they still have people supporting and defending them. Anyone who was 18 in 2014 would be 34 in 2031... That's 16 wasted youthful years for most Nigerian youths.

What a joke of leadership is this?
They recovered his body without arresting the killers?

FG will allocate funds to rebuild it.
Borno state government will spend billions to reintegrate thousands of those behind this and other greater evils. 700+ of them just reintegrated few days ago. They'll return to the communities to ensure the schools are completely burnt and study the remaining escape routes that people use.

Time to return all vengeance back to Venezuela.
Poor Venezuela

Protecting interest or some Obidient just want to use his influence to get into office....u can't blame obi on this one.... Dickson have spotted the error labour party did in 2023,.... he's taking his loyalist first before anyone.....the founder himself..I can't blame obi here for not standing for his supporters,the time isn't there for such negotiations.

I don't agree with this. Obi was a huge signing. It's not some fine detail negotiations that could cause delay. Just some gentlemen agreements for inclusion.

These Obidients you're accusing of wanting to ride on Obi's influence are not vying for national executive posts. 5-10 tickets across executive and legislative posts for Obi to distribute wouldn't hurt. Infact, it might be the glue that will hold everyone together. Absence of such is what is creating this emerging problems.

HSD and other involved stakeholders are seasoned politicians who understand compromises and accommodating interests. It's normal for people to want to benefit from where they put their efforts or even take opportunities.

Do you mean all Northern NDC candidates are old members? Kwankwaso people definitely got some tickets. Tell me one Obidient who got ticket for even state assembly ticket.

The fact that HSD owns the party doesn't mean all tickets must go to his people. Old members need the new entrants as much as new entrants need the old members. They are both less valuable alone. Synergy is needed.

This idea of not wanting to fault someone because you like them isn't objective but rather fanaticism. Obi left his people in the cold after getting his own ticket. Period!

Reloadedisraelp:
I understand ur statement but as an Obidient p.o enter that party in an emergency situation, meaning people are there b4 his arrival una in labour party when everything was calculate done by both party loyalist and newcomers..... Whatever Dickson like should do cos it will be a disgrace in his face seeing Obidient occupying different political positions why his loyalist got nothing...all this gbese will take turn if obi eventually win it...for now Dickson can do whatever he likes....also he should remember what his doing can turn against him in future.

But why aren't you talking about Obidients dragging Dickson?

Why aren't you talking about Obi not brokering ticket deals for some Obidients? It's politics... game of interests. You want to become president, others want to be come other things too.

What is Dickson expected to have done in the face of the present negative PR some Obidients are giving him and his party?

The "turning" after the election is even a scary thought that can push them to kuku scatter everything now. You're not in power yet, you're bullying who offered you emergency platform, what will happen when the whole Nigeria is under your rule?

Nothing will turn against him in the future. Tell me one politician who owns a party and is not the flagbearer. Obi couldn't have been better treated or do you mean Dickson had no presidential candidate in mind had Obi not defected to NDC?

Let's be truthful. Obi not protecting the interests of his supporters is the core cause of this brewing crisis.

How can you join a party with your supporters and not protect their interests once you have sorted yours? That's not how politics is done anywhere in the world.

Obi is simply not a builder. He's selfish and ready to sacrifice everything but his ambition.

NDC should have included membership duration, say 6-12months, as part of the requirements to contest any seat except with waiver. This will technically give them the control over these new entrants. Simply give waivers to new entrants based on reasonable agreement. You can't meet people somewhere and bully them.

New entrants who weren't successful at the primaries are the ones causing problems and will continue cause issues for the party. This will be a critical crackpoint that the ruling party can explore. Now, they're pushing the party's leadership to be publicly firm, saying things that can polarize the party. HSD really has nothing to lose should NDC not field any presidential candidate for 2027.

At this juncture, he may be tempted to expel Obi to render him internally displaced and absent on the ballot.

Had Obi factored his supporters into the workings, he would have requested certain number of tickets for them which will make it easier to pacify those it won't reach. Kwankwansiyya members aren't everywhere dragging NDC leadership like this. I'm not sure any obidient emerged as NDC candidate for any post. He threw them all under the bus.

This isn't a leader!

Heads of State/Regional police are elected by the people in Europe.
The head of the police takes charge of recruitment.
He is not appointed by the state government. He answers to the state but with limitations to the state governor. He answers to public opinion mainly.

Well, events have proven that we can never just copy/paste Western world's ways. Africans are different. We can only understudy their ways, then adapt it to cater for our peculiarities. Doing just what they're doing will never give the result they got. See our elections.

Electing head of state police in Nigeria will create bigger problems than we are trying to solve. Imagine head of police in different party from the Governor. It'll also push politicians to set the standard so very low.

Personally, the idea of state police seem scary, especially in states with marginalised minorities. It'll just be a legalised tool to properly torment the minorities in addition to being the governor's political tool.

A regional police will be better. It'll offer lesser bias, pooled funding, and an avenue to consider a return to regional system that our forefathers took over.

I hope the bill clearly addresses the qualification requirements for recruitment and other problems affecting the NPF.

All those state traffic agencies give a good insight into how state controlled paramilitary agencies can look like. They simply put their political thugs and party members who now constitute public nuisance and menace in the name of performing their duties.

Minimum must be HND or BSc. Refined intelligence driven policing is all we need.

Also, they must be adequately remunerated.

The chain of command should be shared with the judiciary too. Leaving it completely to the executives who are purely politicians, as we currently have is ineffective and evil. At least, judiciary is the only technocrat driven arms of government.

Won't HSD have to rid his party of these political bandits to restore sanity like this?

One would read some of these happenings and feel like vomiting. I mean, how will a riff raff be allowed to hold an entire area to ransom, killing security operatives, carting away thier firearms, calling for "reconciliation" meeting.

The LG chairman was proud to say he offers security back up weekly. How? In a country with a president, independent military and police, governors, and traditional rulers.

The only solution out of this mess is return to regional government or splitting of this country for each region to be secured by its people.

I pity what northern Nigeria would become should either of the above happen. Their elites have for long weaponised poverty on the largest scale and denied the children of the common man access to education. Those children are the Jammo, Turji and co today. Unfortunately, there is no unanimous leader again... No Ahmadu Bello, No Buhari.

TONYE001:
I'm a Nigerian, was born here, schooled here.

I'm just writing this from a point of frustration, anger, and trauma.

I've been a victim of Nigeria. I once had a near-kidnap incident in 2023. Thankfully, they didn't take me. They used their gun to hit me all over my face, took my phone and other valuables, pushed me off a moving bus.

I reported to the police, nothing came out of this incident.

I'm a medical doctor. My job exposes me to a lot of Nigerians who have become victims of Nigeria.

While in the SE, I cannot count the number of gunshot victims, the number of patients reeled in with deep machete cuts. Victims of rape.

While at work last night, a nurse told me of her ordeal with kidnappers. She was sent out by a company for a field work. She and one of her colleagues. Because they weren't conversant with the area, they stopped a motorbike operator, told him the name of the place they were going to. They explained that they didn't know the place.

The rider took them deep into the bush, their den. In a split second, some armed men emerged from the bush and kidnapped them. They were beaten. Flogged. Humiliated. They took 2.4 million naira from the nurse.

Now to the recent Oyo event. Can you imagine that over 40 students and their teachers were whisked away by Fulani Islamic extremists in broad daylight? Just like that?

These people are still in captive. Boys. Girls. Men. Women. Innocent Nigerians striving to survive in an uphill society.

How did we get here?

Just how?

Tribalism.

Religion.

Illiteracy.

Poverty.

Idiotic political affiliations.

Self-centredness.

Greed.

Corruption.

A shortsighted black man's mind.

Where will all these lead us to?

I honestly don't know.

I only hope for the better.

Good luck to all remaining Nigerians.

It's a sad situation really but the subtle perception of the problem, as clearly displayed above, by people like you makes holistic solution elusive for decades.

Labelling criminals, for whatever reason, is as evil as the crime itself. It in a way buy some sort of sentiments and sympathy for the criminals. A criminal is a criminal!

You labelled the Oyo kidnappers/bandits Fulani Islamic extremists.
Those that attacked you, the nurses, and caused those SE cases you referenced, were they Fulani Islamic extremists too? I noticed you were silent about their labels.

You can not address cattle ruslters or bandits as Fulani herdmen or Fulani bandits except that you're saying non Fulani cattle ruslters/bandits are good.
Cattle rustlers and bandits, irrespective of religion or tribe are criminals that must be decisively dealt with.

You can not condemn terrorists who are Muslims as Islamic extremists except that you're saying non Muslims who commit acts of terrorism are no problems. Or does the dictionary meaning imply the act if only committed by certain groups?

The more we put descriptive words and tags to these criminals, the narrower we're making the menace seem. The more subtle sympathy we're buying for the criminals and the more hypocrisy we exude.

Ultimately, these practice creates ethnoreligious tensions which then shield these criminals.

In Nigeria today, the poor handling of insecurity has made kidnapping sort of attractive to criminally minded people. They hear the big ransom being crowfunded almost on daily basis and the lack of consequences to the kidnappers. This sort of incentivize the evil. The ethno-religious composition of the perpetrators of these crimes will make tagging them Fulani or Islamic really unfair. They are simply bandits, kidnappers, terrorists!

I'm sure you personally have Muslims and Fulanis who you feel safe around. Have you ever thought of their feelings when you utter this kind of blanket statements about their values?

Christlike01:
This is what happens when you become indecisive, and I blame President Trump for the consequences of his indecision. You don't negotiate with terrorists—you finish them off mercilessly. What kind of nonsense negotiation is Trump having with the evil regime in Iran? Senseless!

If I were in Trump's position, I would close my eyes and do what needs to be done once and for all. I would bomb Iran back to the Stone Age and erase whatever form of civilisation exists in that country, and I wouldn't care what anyone says. Trump is all talk and no action.

It's not as easy as you think. Lolll
Trump is softpedalling because the risks way outweigh the benefits.
There is no way Trump would do what you have said without directly putting homeland in harms way which Americans would vehemently resist.

The little he did sef, he's feeling the heat already. What do you think can take a whole Trump to China to be welcomed by a government official? Had he known what he currently knows, his approach would have been way different.

A full blown war to wipe out an entire civilization isn't some bread and butter thing. You clearly don't know the magnitude of what's involved.

kingthreat:
Iran knows they cannot fight America one on one.
But they can hit America by bombing their Gulf allies and blocking the Strait of Homuz.
And it has been working very effectively.

It's distance barrier which USA is able to work around, with bases on the soil of Iran's neighbours.

Had Iran have bases in say Canada,Mexico, or the Caribbean countries, it would have been a different topic.

Iran can't attack USA directly because of distance. USA can't attack Iran directly from USA's soil too, that's why they need bases close to Iran and even requested to use bases in some European countries (which was largely rejected) earlier in the conflict. This is in addition to direct attack from Isreal.

Iran's tactics is to attack those bases from where USA is attacking, attack neighbors hosting these bases forcing them to disallow USA from using their soil to Attack Iran(with no bases to attack Iran from, they'll be left with only moving their long range missile launchers stationed close to Taiwan and South Korea). Deplete Israel's defense system with way cheaper drones. Impose oil based economic hardship on the world to get attention of other countries.

USA is definitely winning the battle but losing the war. Continued attacks at the rate of the start of the conflict is fast depleting their way more expensive stockpiles, exposing them to bigger threats (China, Russia, North Korea). Once depleted to certain level, they wouldn't have choice than to withdraw their military protection in Taiwan and South Korea. Then China and North Korea can go in and exert maximum dominance in that axis which is suicidal for USA.

These recent peace moves are to buy time to replenish stockpiles and have better name going into mid term election in November.

It's a dicey situation.

In Quran 2:58, Hafs says "We give mercy", while warsh says "he gives mercy". Who is really talking there?! Is it your alllla or someone else? Which should we accept between the warsh and Hafs version of Quran 2:58?!

In Quran 2:140, Hafs says "you say", while warsh says "they say". One is second person singular, while the other one is third person plural.
So, who really says?!

Alhamdulillah for Islam. Rock solid, mediocrity proof! I invite you into Islam. You'll not only receive salvation, you'll become smart.

Quote the exact Arabic texts of the above let's interpret them together.

Post the exact Arabic texts, let the severity of your slooooowness be more glaring
I repeat, all qiraat and riwayah are same in meanings. All!

To help you and your likes, the Qur'an was revealed only in Arabic and as such there is only one Qur'an, which is in Arabic (all qiraat and riwayah which are like dialects).

Every non Arabic text of the Qur'an is the "interpretations of the meanings". This is always clearly written on the cover of every authorized translation of meanings. Nothing like English Qur'an, Hausa Qur'an, Yoruba Qur'an, French Qur'an etc.

The Qur'an isn't like some books that have lost their essence to the whims and caprices of the translators. Some versions of the bible have different contents sef, not about the meanings now. I mean, different number of chapters... 78,73,66 etc just like some textbooks where chapters are added and removed with every edition

When are you going to write your own chapter for inclusion in the bible or maybe have your own bible all together

You just perfectly described Islam since Islam represents cursing, deceit and evil

1. Cursing

In Sahih Muslim 2603, your founder cursed a young girl for no reason. Your founder cursed the girl that she wouldn't grow into old age.

Many of your Alfas curse for fun during their sermons!

2. Deceit

In Quran 3:54 and Quran 8:44, your allllah called himself a deceiver.

Also, many of your Islamic clerics liiie to deceive people about Islam. They also lie that Islam is religion of peace. Everyone knows that there is zero peace in Islam.

3. Evill

In Sahih Muslim Hadith 2767, your allllah said he would use a Christian or Jew to replace a Muslim in he'll fir🔥. That's evil!

In Sahih al-Bukhari 2926, your allllah said you should kpai Jews. That's very evil.

Your founder kpaied 700 Jews in one day. He kpaid the husband and father of saffiya and converted her to his wife shortly after? That's very evil!

So, words like Cursing, Deceit and Evil fully describe Islam!

All these lies just to save your lieing ass. All what you typed are your words. Just like words of some random people were codified into the bible. You lie effortlessly

You don't bring Islamic references in the manner you do in some fabricated religion.

Quote the exact texts in Arabic, let's interpret it together.
Orientalists are people like you and have devoted their lives to concort copy/paste stuffs in English for your likes.

Don't forget English isn't your mother's tongue, you learnt it. Before you'll raise your usual next dumb line.

Neither Paul nor Jesus spoke English. The real owner of Christianity made English its language
It's understandable if you envy a divine religion with preserved scriptures.

Islam is way beyond what every Dick, Tom, and Harry will put mouth in.

If that's the case, it means those who wrote your Quran committed errors because there are many differences among the various Arabic versions of the Quran.

If original revelations of your Quran are full of discrepancies, it means the reliability of the Quran can't be trusted!



If I write a sentence in different dialects, their meanings should be the same. In the case of the different Arabic versions of the Quran, the sentences are very different and have different meanings.

Oga stop lying to defend the Arab pagan idol called alllllla!



This your "protection" excuse is complete nonsense. You say it as if all Arabs are Muslims and Arab speakers can't also corrupt the Quran of they like. Ile kewu level of argument!

Existence of various Arabic versions of the Quran containing different sentences is an evidence that the Arabic Qurans have been corrupted already! So, your alllla's "protection" effort has failed! So your allah is a failure!



I challenge you to provide me proof that non-Muslims have tried to corrupt Quran. You can only lie to Ile kewu pupils. The world is more advanced than these baseless lies!

Do you know that the Quran you use today is the 1924 edition of the Quran?! Your Quran is heavily edited, modified, corrupted. There is nothing original about Quran.

Caliph uthman collected existing manuscripts to create a new one. That new one is what you are using today. So, your Quran is not original anymore. Why did caliph uthman burned all existing manuscripts?! Because he wanted to cover up the corruption and inconsistencies in the Quran



Bible has many versions and Quran has many versions.

Bible versions contain differences and Quran versions contiaon differences.

So, how is your Quran better?!

So you typed this much about Qur'an "versions" without bringing examples.

Let's get practical, bring 2 Qur'an qiraat and reference some differences in them.

"Ever heard of subcutaneous fat?"

That question is both funny and insulting.

I should be the one to ascertain if you truly understand "belly fat", because to me, you don't seem to have the genuine understanding of it, which makes most of your assertions, capitally wrong.

Belly fat isn't just subcutaneous like you wrongly posited. Both visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, constitutes the belly fat as a whole.
So, if I say belly fat or visceral fat, it's correct in all respect. If I also indicate belly fat or subcutaneous fat, it's also very right.

The above facts completely invalidates your wrongful assertion that belly fat isn't same as visceral fat, and also, that belly fat isn't the protruding visceral fat. What's belly fat without visceral fat?!
It has been established that, visceral fat significantly influences belly size and protrusion.

There would be no metabolically-driven belly fat, without the excess visceral fat which came to be, due to excess sugar consumption, processed foods, alcohol intake, et cetera, which over works the liver and causes it to convert excess glucose or fructose into fats and stores it, either in the liver, kidney, stomach wall, or other internal, vital organs. The excess visceral fat which surrounds the liver, causes fatty liver. Fatty liver leads to stomach bulge or belly fat.

When space is no longer available for fat storage in the liver, it moves to another vital organ, such as the kidney. When the visceral fat wraps around the kidney in excess, since it is metabolically active, it then disrupts the normal kidney functions by causing inflammation and hormonal imbalance. One of the notable resultant effects of these, is fluid retention, which shows up as bloating of the belly or oedema.

If no space is available anymore in the kidneys for excess visceral fat storage, it moves either to the pancreas, intestine, stomach wall, et cetera, disrupts their normal functions and wreck havoc, continuously, which hugely increases the size of the belly as a result.

Take note of the fat causing the most damage, which is "visceral fat" and not subcutaneous fat.

The obesity you're harping on, is a risk factor for diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, et cetera.
Infact, it is heavily characterized by hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia, LDL- hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia.So, normal visceral fats or not, obesity is outrightly unhealthy.

It's the evidently protruding belly fat, that makes "fatty visceral" detectable in "slim people". Take note of "fatty visceral", and not "subcutaneous fat". Buhh it's the same you, that's been falsely and misleadingly reiterating that, belly fat isn't same as visceral fat, belly fat isn't the protruding visceral fat. How ironic!

I don't know why I'm wasting my time quoting you but you should stop feeding the public with junks.

These stuffs happen at the molecular level.
I'm certain you're either one of these allied health sciences practitioners who did basic medical sciences as a crash course, a poorly trained one at that because a well trained one won't be doing the copy/paste you just did above OR one of these people who never even had any formal post secondary education in health sciences selling one drug formulation that treats all disease or using one machine who does not require any specimen to assess all body system.

Your continuous loose use of "stomach" and some really cringy stuffs you said gave you out easily.

I won't be replying you again, but try and get proper education on the subject matter or only speak about things you're properly educated on otherwise, you're a public health risk.

Love belly fat in a man, especially the one that gives him wealthy boy vibe when he's in a native wear?

With this, 👆🏽, do you mean you love a man with a fatty liver, who is very likely to be predisposed to chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension cancer & the likes?

Okay, in the name of shedding light a little, belly fat and fatty liver goes hand in hand. That belly fat that you claim to love in a man, is a visceral fat that's deeply stored in the stomach, which surrounds vital internal organs such as liver, kidney, pancreas, et cetera.
And this said visceral or belly fat is dangerous, because it is active metabolically, and due to this, it interferes with the normal functioning of the organ/organs it's wrapped or embedded in.
The presence of visceral or belly fat causes inflammation and hormonal imbalance in the cells of the organs they are wrapped in, which predisposes such person with the belly or visceral fat to hypertension, diabetes, cancer, et cetera.

Is it that you're oblivious of the above or you do know buhh still fancy men with belly fat despite it's unhealthy consequences?

Ever heard of subcutaneous fat?

A lot of your submissions above aren't only false but misleading.

Obesity is no doubt unhealthy. It's infact a a component of metabolic syndrome. However, belly fat isn't same as visceral fat. Belly fat isn't the protruding visceral fat.

There are obese people with normal visceral fat distribution at laparotomy while there are slim people with fatty viscera.
