The killed commander shall be replaced immediately. It's a religious war started after the political and religious leaders in the far north Nigeria adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system beginning 1999. The only ending to Boko Haram menace is in dividing Nigeria into more manageable countries so that the sharia states shall have their Islamic Republic of Arewa to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system. |
Be realistic. No more dishonesty. Insecurity of Islamic terrorism in the Sahel region started after the political and religious leaders in the far north Nigeria states adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system. Boko Haram and its offshoots, bandits and armed Fulani herdsmen are fighting for a Sahel region including Nigeria, to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system. Truth is that no amount of military interventions can stop the Islamists. The only solution is in dividing Nigeria into more manageable countries. |
6 fergie001:Is that all? APC shall on election day ensure internet does not work in Nigeria on the day of the election. Instead of saying wait till internet supplied to the area to enable the transmission of results to resume. |
Distraction. |
A few people in power cannot be allowed to override the wishes of millions of people in Nigeria. It's electronic transmission of vote results or no elections. |
SlavaUkraini:State Police? Arewa resists State Police because Arewa believes some southern regions can hide under State Police to import arms for secession from Nigeria. Diaspora vote? Arewa say Nigeria is not ready for Diaspora vote. How can a country exist with one part continually drag others back? I |
Wike is a man who has sacrificed his presidential ambition for the sake of Tinubu For now Wike can lick the toes of Tinubu in order to be seen or heard. |
Election rigging stems from the "Abuja controls all" type of politics. NIGERIA MUST FACE THE TRUTH: WE ARE NOT ONE PEOPLE A SOUTHERN STRATEGIC CONCLUSION By Kio Amachree, Political Scientist I have a Yoruba mother from Shagamu. My father is from Buguma, in Kalabari land. I have Yoruba cousins. I have Igbo cousins. I have Kalabari cousins. I am a Nigerian. And I am proud to be one. I am a Christian. I am liberal-conservative. I am educated, well spoken, internationally exposed. I have lived abroad for decades. I understand nations, identity, culture, and human behavior. And today, after years of denying reality, I have reached a conclusion that many Southerners are afraid to say out loud. Nigeria is not one people. Nigeria has never been one people. From the Atlantic coast of the South-South, to the forests of the East, to the inner heartland of Yoruba land, we share something powerful. We look alike. We mix easily abroad. We speak English. We intermarry. We share similar values. We communicate naturally. We understand each other’s worldview. Whether you are Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Kalabari, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Efik, Ibibio, Edo, or any other southern group, you can travel across the South and still feel at home. Yes, we have differences. But we are culturally compatible. That is what makes a nation. But when I go to the North, I do not feel Nigerian. I feel like an outsider. The tone is different. The culture is different. The structure is different. The values are different. The language is different. Most of them do not speak English fluently. Their social code is not the Nigerian code I grew up with. Their worldview is shaped by a different civilization entirely. They are closer in culture to Chad, Niger, and parts of the Arab world than they are to the Southern Nigerian identity. And we must stop lying to ourselves about it. For too long, Southerners have pretended. We have repeated slogans. We have used emotional propaganda. We have forced ourselves to believe the fantasy of “One Nigeria.” But this union was never natural. It was engineered. It was designed by the British. It was forced together by colonial strategy. And it has been catastrophic. The South funds Nigeria. The South drives Nigeria. The South produces Nigeria’s wealth. The South builds Nigeria’s international reputation. Yet the South is treated with contempt. Insulted. Threatened. Bullied. And constantly blamed. We are expected to carry the burden of a region that refuses to modernize, refuses to integrate, refuses to adapt, and refuses to respect those who feed the federation. And then we are told we must remain silent for “unity.” What kind of unity is that? This is not unity. This is exploitation. The North has deep internal problems. Security problems. Extremism problems. Banditry problems. Educational problems. Economic problems. But instead of solving them, the political culture has become one of entitlement. A belief that Nigeria belongs to them. A belief that power is their birthright. And I am tired of it. I do not believe the North respects the South. I do not believe the North will ever be a benefit to the South. And I do not believe this forced marriage can survive forever. Let us be honest. I cannot marry their daughters. Their culture is not mine. Their religious structure is not mine. Their values are not mine. So why should we keep pretending? This is not racism. This is realism. This is not hatred. This is survival. It is common sense. The South must begin to openly revisit the Nigerian union. Not with violence. Not with insults. But with seriousness. With strategy. With cold, professional political logic. Let the North go its way. Let it practice its religion freely. Let it speak its language. Let it develop its own resources. Let it drill its own oil. Let it solve its own security issues. And let the South finally breathe. Let the South smile again. Because the insults, threats, backwardness, and endless political blackmail from the North has drained the spirit of the Southern Nigerian identity. Mistakes were made in 1960. Southern independence leaders capitulated to British colonial pressure. They accepted a union that should have been renegotiated from the beginning. That decision has cost generations of Southerners their peace, their security, their wealth, and their dignity. We must correct that mistake. As a political scientist, and as a patriot, I have reached my final conclusion: Nigeria cannot continue like this. The South must make a strategic decision. A peaceful decision. A historic decision. The North should go its own way. And the South should finally build the prosperous, modern, educated, globally respected nation it was always meant to be.

Shame. How do people engineering this one party system in a pluralistic society feel? |
So now UN boss Guiterress begins to see Nigeria? Thanks Donald Trump. |
Orlandoo:The man needs to be hanged if there were no preceding incidents where the woman was the offender. |
SJMag1:This one don enter one chance bus. It's like he has no Abraham as father. |
Wizardslayer:Laws for Transparency in election. That's what Nigeria's currebt Senate refuses. The most pained about Nigeria is the presence of crude oyel and gas. The politicians feast on proceeds from oil and gas. Now they form one political party to perpetuate their robbery of proceeds from the natural resources in Nigeria. |
After 8 years of Buhari and four years of Tinubu, if there is no steady power supply, APC shall not contest presidential election again. Buhari and Tinubu beginning 2014 pledged steady electricity if voted into power. |
Hellisreal70: A gov sells the mandate of the people he holds to another political party. Such a gov is a thief. Enuf said. |
DiamondsAreFore:Bandits, Boko Haram and Myetti Allah have one objective: get an Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws, the same Sharia criminal laws adopted by the far north Nigeria states. But even if bandits kidnap three quarters of Nigerians, the remaining blind Nigerians will still stick to one Nigeria hoping that a miracle will save them from the bandits, Boko Haram, Myetti Allah and the Islamists of the sharia states, so long as crude oyel money still flows. They label those who agitate to opt out of Nigeria for a new country as villains. |
Unfortunately, for sone of the Beggar kings of Nigeria, so long as cheap cash from crude oil in the Southsouth and the southeast flows in to the federal offers, they would not mind dying as beggars in one Nigeria. |
Kwankwaso said Kano gov handed party over to enemies -APC. Kwankwaso will fight APC to finish. Kwankwaso no be like spineless Peter Mba of Enugu State who sold the people's mandate to APC for a token. APC leadership to date Nigeria Nigeria 2015 2025 Dollar #197 #1500 Petrol #87 #930 Kerosene #50 #1300 Diesel #155 #1300 Cooking Gas #180 #1300/kg Hajj fee #700,000 #8.5million Rice #8,000 #65,000 Bajaj Motorcycle #170,000 #870,000 Tricycle (Keke-napep) #370,000 #3.5million Sewing machine #45,000 #300,000 Ext.

tonyzaks:Wike should have been rotting in prison by now if those military coup plotters had succeeded. |
Sunday Ighoho said several times that Tinubu is his mentor. Oduduwa Republic agitators waved Oduduwa Republic flags in support of Tinubu on the grounds of London's Chatham House while Tinubu was speaking inside the house. But because of votes from Sokoto Caliphate, Tinubu convicted Mazi Nnamdi Kalu and threw him into Sokoto Caliphate jail, after all, Nnamdi Kalu has been harping on Sokoto Caliphate's move for Islamic Republic of Nigeria. |
jmoore:Reno Omokri no get shame. He is a maggot. |
When Peter Obi becomes president, Reno Omokri shall say his takes against Obi were false |
Wike got job of Minister because he falsified presidential election results in Rivers State to favour Bola Tinubu. |
Na you go tire.
|
AMINDA:Tinubu actually agreed that he is a drug trafficking baron when he employed Reno Omokri as ambassador. Tinubu agreed that he is an election rigger when he employ Nyesom Wike as FCT boss. |
Maxymilliano:Tinubu heard that Turkey was supplying sophisticated weapons to Nigeria's Islamic terrorists fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws, the same unconstitutional Sharia criminal laws adopted unilaterally by the political and religious leaders in the far north Nigeria states beginning 1999. Did Tinubu go to thank Turkey or what? |
Explain to a country held hostage by Islamists through APC. A country where its more educated and talented younger persons cannot win apex political power due to a skewed and lopsided political structure. |
denko:And the southwest peopke woukd say Biafrauuud each time they hear the Igbos express desire to leave Nigeria for Biafra. They don't understand that nationhood can never come to Nigeria where ethnic groups have different value systems. In Nigeria, sone still talk of sharia criminal laws in this 21st century, while other will like to produce technology to land on the moon. |
SlavaUkraini:The constitution guarantees freedom of religion. You are talking out of intolerance for religion. You are very intolerant,” Shittu responded. --------Shittu. Shittu is either a LIAR or confused. The constitution of Nigeria does not support Sharia criminal laws. The constitution allows only Sharia civil laws. Sharia criminal laws include stoning blasphemous persons to death, stoning women to death for adultery, cutting out the hands of thieves, etc. This is the Sharia law in controversy. This is the Sharia laws that the US told northern Nigeria to renounce. |
